Chapter 1205: Chapter 895: Ningjing Taoist Makes a Move Chapter 1205: Chapter 895: Ningjing Taoist Makes a Move When that âLu Chenâ exuding Demonic Qi emerged from Ningjing Taoistâs mirror, he too slashed out with his sword. In the next moment, a Sword Qi identical to the one Lu Chen had unleashed was slashed out from the âLu Chenâsâ sword.
Then, the two Sword Qis collided, creating a fierce explosion, and after both Sword Qis burst apart, neither side was affected.
At this time, Lu Chen asked the system, âSystem, can you identify what kind of Spiritual Artifact that mirror is?â
A prompt immediately appeared before Lu Chen.
[System Notification: This object is known as the Nine Nether Mirror, an Earth Grade Spiritual Artifact, capable of duplicating a Spiritual Body with the same strength as the enemy.]
Hearing the system notification, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. A Spiritual Body with the same strength as the enemy could be duplicated?
Wouldnât possessing this Spiritual Artifact make one invincible under the heavens?
How could such a powerful artifact only be Earth Rank? Shouldnât it be Emperor Rank?
Just as Lu Chen thought the system had made a mistake, a system prompt sounded in his mind.
âThe Spiritual Artifact can only duplicate the enemyâs superficial strength and is ineffective against beings stronger than Saints. It cannot duplicate any hidden strength the enemy may possess, and once duplication is performed, it cannot be used again for a short period.â
Lu Chen realized that was the case which is why the Nine Nether Mirror was only an Earth Grade Spiritual Artifact.
At that time, Lu Chen suddenly had an idea. If the Spiritual Body nearby had duplicated his own strength, could it also use the Chaos Demon Slaying Technique?
Considering the Chaos Demon Slaying Technique was specifically devised to counter Demonic Qi, and that Spiritual Body was emanating such dense Demonic Qi, wouldnât it self-destruct if it executed the Chaos Demon Slaying Technique?
While Lu Chen entertained this thought, the Spiritual Body Lu Chen, holding a fake Godslayer Sword, charged directly towards Lu Chen.
Lu Chen remained completely calm. His lips curved slightly upward as he intended to verify his guess.
He then raised the sword in his hand towards the Spiritual Body Lu Chen and began to activate the Chaos Demon Slaying Technique. As the Chaos Demon Slaying Technique circulated within Lu Chenâs body, strands of white Spiritual Power radiated from his body and converged in the sword.
Seeing the white Spiritual Power emanating from Lu Chen, the Spiritual Body Lu Chen did not seem to fear at all; instead, it also raised the fake Godslayer Sword and mimicked Lu Chenâs use of the Chaos Demon Slaying Technique.
However, at that moment, the Spiritual Body Lu Chenâs body suddenly shattered, turning into countless tiny grains of light sand.
Seeing this scene, the members of the Yin Fire Sect were stunned. Their Sect Hierarchâs move had the power to contend even against a Guixu Realm Ninth Layer powerhouse, so why was it broken so quickly?
At this time, Ningjing Taoist also sensed that something was amiss. He had not detected any issue with the Spiritual Body duplicated by the Nine Nether Mirror, but it had collapsed without explanation.
Realizing that the person before him had some real skill to be able to shatter the Nine Nether Mirrorâs Spiritual Body so quickly, Ningjing Taoist immediately abandoned his contemptuous thoughts.
In the next moment, countless mirror shards appeared in the void, rapidly flying towards Lu Chenâs surroundings, all reflecting Lu Chenâs figure.
Ningjing Taoist shouted loudly, âSpring Autumn Great Dream Art!!!â
As Ningjing Taoistâs voice fell, Lu Chen immediately felt somewhat dazed, and he faintly seemed to see his wives and concubines appear in the void.
Lu Chen instantly realized that this was a spiritual attack and immediately circulated the spiritual power within his body to steady his mind.
As a cultivator of the Returning Ruin Realm, Lu Chenâs divine sense was already very strong and not easily penetrated.
Seeing that Lu Chen had broken free from his control in such a short time, Ningjing Taoist felt a surge of unease within him. Logically, his Spring Autumn Great Dream Art should have easily controlled a Huashen Realm Cultivator.
Even cultivators of the Divinity Transformation Realm with firm Dao hearts and strong divine senses would need some time to break free from his control. Yet the person before him had barely been lost in a trance.
Such a quick recovery from control â could he really be just a Huashen Realm Cultivator?
Regardless, since both the Nine Nether Mirror and the Spring Autumn Great Dream Art had no effect on this man, Ningjing Taoist had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.
In the next moment, another person who looked exactly like Lu Chen stepped out from the Nine Nether Mirror, but this personâs aura was even stronger.
Seeing another person who looked just like himself, Lu Chen immediately said to the system: âSystem, didnât you say that the Nine Nether Mirror couldnât replicate another body like mine in a short time? How come it has replicated another spiritual body that looks just like me so quickly?â
Although Lu Chen was not afraid of the spiritual body replicated by the Nine Nether Mirror, the fact that it looked exactly like him and was emitting a strong Demonic Qi made Lu Chen feel extremely uncomfortable.
The system replied, âThis person is not a spiritual body, but Ningjing Taoist who has transformed his appearance using the power of the Nine Nether Mirror.â
Apart from replicating spiritual bodies, the Nine Nether Mirror also had an additional ability, which was to help its owner change their appearance.
Hearing this, Lu Chen paused for a moment, then laughed scornfully at Ningjing Taoist: âYou really like to imitate others. Are you too ugly to show your face?â
Ningjing Taoist was not angered by Lu Chenâs taunt. He was indeed very ugly, especially after succumbing to demonic power. His visage had become even more hideous, and for this reason, he had not shown his true face for over a hundred years.
Ningjing Taoist spoke indifferently, âIndeed, I am ugly, but I will soon possess a perfect face.â
At this, a cold light flickered in Ningjing Taoistâs eyes, and Lu Chen immediately understood what Ningjing Taoist was implying â he intended to tear off Lu Chenâs face and make it his own.
As a Demon Cultivator, it was not strange for him to know the art of changing faces, especially since Ningjing Taoist was radiating Heavenly Demon Power, being a Demon Envoy.
Without any hesitation, Ningjing Taoist raised his hand, and in the next moment, countless skulls flew out from behind him. Ningjing Taoist thought to himself, even if this person truly had the power to battle in the Returning Ruin Realm, it was impossible for him to withstand the corrosion of the Demonic Qi and Heavenly Demon Power.
Especially the Heavenly Demon Power, which was exceptionally oppressive to cultivators. Once tainted by Heavenly Demon Power, a cultivatorâs spirit could likely become troubled, and their strength would follow suit and decline.
Facing the swirling skulls flying towards him, Lu Chen wasted no time and took out the Demon-Expelling Banner.
The moment the Demon-Expelling Banner appeared in Lu Chenâs hand, Ningjing Taoist felt an overwhelming repression. The Demonic Qi in his body immediately became incredibly restless, and even the Heavenly Demon Power within him seemed to want to escape his body.
Ningjing Taoistâs eyes were fixed on the Demon-Expelling Banner in Lu Chenâs hand; the discomfort on his body began after Lu Chen brought out that peculiar banner â clearly there was something wrong with it.
Even though he knew there was something wrong with the banner, Ningjing Taoist did not retreat. He waved his hand grandly, and atop his head immediately appeared a creature formed from the accumulation of Heavenly Demon Power.
The creature sprouted countless arms, following the skulls, it charged straight towards Lu Chen.
As the skulls were about to come into contact with Lu Chen, he spurred the Demon-Expelling Banner, which instantly emitted a multicolored radiance.
