"Projection?" Upon hearing this, Su Changkongâs expression shifted. Just as he had suspected, this Wang Fuhu was not a living person but rather something akin to a clone or a projection!
"A person dead for two or three thousand years... can still project themselves, with strength, speech, and actions indistinguishable from a real person? What kind of power could achieve this?"
Despite this, Su Changkong still felt terrified and shocked.
If it were merely something like a puppet, that would be normal, but this Wang Fuhu appeared no different from the real Wang Fuhu. What kind of method could resurrect a powerful figure from two thousand years ago?
Whoever could achieve this was truly formidable, beyond normal reasoning and imagination!
As for what power allowed oneself to be projected into the world? Wang Fuhu himself didnât know.
The Wang Fuhu opposite him grew increasingly weak. His voice hoarse, he said, "I donât have much time left... I want to ask you a question, how much strength did you use just now?"
Wang Fuhu could tell, Su Changkong had definitely not used his full strength in their battle, yet he had still defeated him, leaving Wang Fuhu speechless and even more curious about how powerful Su Changkong truly was!
After a brief silence, Su Changkong transmitted to Wang Fuhu, "About ten or twenty percent."
Su Changkong wasnât lying. In his battle with Wang Fuhu, he indeed hadnât exerted his full strength. Activating the Giant Whale Body Technique allowed Su Changkongâs physical body to reach the Martial Saint level, and the burst of Mysterious Turtle True Yuan could increase it several folds.
Beyond that, Su Changkong also possessed the Divine Seed of the Beast of the Evil Emperor but had not used it. Saying he had used only ten or twenty percent of his power wasnât an exaggeration by Su Changkong; it might even be less than that!
The corner of Wang Fuhuâs mouth twitched slightly. Only ten or twenty percent strength had been used to defeat him? Did that not mean that Su Changkongâs true combat power... could rival a Martial Saint!
"You are stronger than me." Wang Fuhu sighed deeply, finding relief in acceptance.
The original Wang Fuhu had unprecedented talent, and in the Huwei Dynasty, he was the foremost below the Martial Saints. Had he not died in battle, he wouldâve certainly become a Martial Saint!
But dying at the hands of a Martial Saint undoubtedly filled Wang Fuhu with unwillingness. It hadnât been a fair fight, and he felt that given more time, he would surely not lose to the Martial Saint who killed him!
Appearing in the world again, Wang Fuhu lamented the passage of time. The once flourishing Huwei Dynasty had long since changed dynasties, and his homeland had also changed beyond recognition. His only wish was to challenge the Martial Saint again.
However, he was defeated by Su Changkong, who was also of the Innate Realm. This left him with regret but no obsession; there are always people stronger than oneself, celestials above the heavens.
"There are no empires that prosper forever, nor mighty who live eternally..." Wang Fuhu sighed.
"Hmm?"
Su Changkong frowned as he saw Wang Fuhuâs body slowly becoming transparent until it completely vanished, as if he had never existed!
Just as Wang Fuhu said, he was not a living person, merely a âprojectionâ of Wang Fuhu from two or three thousand years ago. Defeated by Su Changkong, he had lost hope and chose to disappear.
With Wang Fuhu gone, Su Changkong, quick to react, grabbed an object that was about to fall into the lake, left behind after Wang Fuhuâs disappearance.
It was something similar to a Commanderâs Seal, engraved with the word "Huwei," which still faintly retained a trace of Wang Fuhuâs aura.
It seemed some power had used the lingering obsession of Wang Fuhu in this Commanderâs Seal to make Wang Fuhu appear in the world again.
This kind of power had already reached the point of defying logic, something even Divine Skills couldnât achieve!
"Could it be... this is Great Divine Power?"
A thought suddenly struck Su Changkongâs mind.
Previously, Su Changkong had heard from Ji Xuexiao that Martial Saints also varied in strength, divided into the three tiers of the nine-layer HeavenâDivine Seed, Divine Body, Great Divine Powerâwith those at the pinnacle of Martial Saints known as âAncient Saintsâ!
Ancient Saints were formidable because they cultivated Divine Skills to the extreme and perfectly forged their Divine Bodies. The fusion of both gave birth to âGreat Divine Powerâ!
Great Divine Power was undoubtedly far stronger than Divine Skills by hundreds, thousands of times.
Catching Stars and Moon, Universe in the Sleeve, Summoning Wind and Rain, Moving Mountains and Filling Seas... these were the realms of âGreat Divine Powerâ!
And this Wang Fuhu, as well as Kuang Wenfu and other powerful beings who should have died a thousand, thousands of years ago but reappeared in the world, could it be due to the influence of some âGreat Divine Powerâ?
