Chapter 1231 - 86: Another Showdown

Copy bodies are inherently interesting existences.

This is especially true for the copy body of Wang Sheng.

After proving his path as a Heavenly Immortal, Wang Sheng could sense everything related to himself.

As long as it is connected to him, it is linked by causality.

The copy body is no exception.

The copies created by the Corrosive Fate Dao are akin to "mud figures" molded by this Dao; these figures possess self-awareness and self-perception and are quite powerful. Only at the level of the Corrosive Fate Dao can such figures be molded.

Of course, even so, at his level, unless he permits it, they cannot exist.

The copy body before him is naturally one he deliberately left.

Having proven his path as a Heavenly Immortal, he no longer fears the Corrosive Fate Dao, and even intends to confront it and annihilate it.

Yet the position of the Corrosive Fate Dao is not weak, and he has only just proven his path as a Heavenly Immortal, so he must act with caution.

Hence, he needs to investigate some details.

The copy body is an excellent subject for investigation, especially his copy.

His copy is extremely peculiar.

From previous interactions, it’s evident that there’s much knowledge, though it cannot be expressed.

Now, it is likely the same.

But being unable to speak doesn’t mean he has no solutions.

"A long time ago, I wanted to know some information. At that time, I didn’t have the strength I do now. Enemies generally didn’t like to cooperate, so I researched many methods. Later, as my strength increased, I became famed across the stars, and even without coercion, I could obtain the information I wanted. Yet, it seems some methods still hold value."

The copy body, having been imbued with memories, naturally knows what methods Wang Sheng is referring to.

"Are you considering a Soul Search? Give it up; you’re indeed strong now, but we copies are directly connected to fate. Attempting to get information through such means is almost akin to conducting a Soul Search on fate itself." The copy body has little faith in Wang Sheng’s methods.

Wang Sheng shook his head: "It seems even as a copy, you’re inadequate, not only lacking key methods but also missing critical memories of my path."

The copy body, lacking progress bars, naturally doesn’t have the core means like the Virtual World and Daluo Realm. Even at the same level, its combat prowess is much weaker.

Now it seems he has overestimated the methods of the Corrosive Fate Dao concerning the copy bodies.

It not only lacks core capabilities, but the memories are also incomplete.

If the copy body had some recognition of proving the path, it wouldn’t be so confident.

Upon hearing this, the copy body frowned before saying: "I admit you might win eventually, but not now. Fate can contend with the stars; it’s not something simple, and currently, you lack the ability to confront fate head-on."

Wang Sheng didn’t say more.

He’s already estimated whether he can contend with the Corrosive Fate Dao.

"You’re not intending to give up, it seems. If so, come on, then." The copy body ceased its resistance.

Conducting a Soul Search on a copy body identical to oneself feels peculiar, yet this doesn’t deter Wang Sheng.

A thread of celestial power slowly manifested in his hand.

This is true celestial power capable of countering Daoist forces.

The celestial power enveloped the copy body.

Regarding the copy body’s "Soul Search," it’s naturally not literal.

It’s actually a trace back to the origin.

"Indeed, my copy is a replication of the origin. Well then, let’s return to the origin!"

The celestial power surged as the force of time erupted.

Time gradually reversed, and the copy body’s strength rapidly waned.

As the copy body’s strength waned to the Twelfth Realm, Wang Sheng began to feel some resistance.

"Is it the power of the Corrosive Fate Dao?"

Though he hasn’t interacted much with the Corrosive Fate Dao, he’s familiar with its power.

The force obstructing his retrospection is undoubtedly the Corrosive Fate Dao.

"As expected. Now it’s a matter of whether I can break through this obstruction."

This is not merely about gaining information; essentially, it’s also a probe.

To see precisely what level his current power has reached, whether it can effectively deal with the Corrosive Fate Dao.

"The power in the retrospection won’t be complete. If it fails to reverse, there’s no point in targeting the Corrosive Fate Dao."

If incomplete power cannot be overcome, there’s no need to mention anything else.

Evidently, his worries are superfluous.

The force resisting the Time Retrospection hasn’t held for even a breath before being shattered by him.

The copy body continued its Time Retrospection.

Soon, the copy body’s form faded, reverting to its most origin state.

"Indeed, it carries the aura of my origin. To contend with cosmic power with such complete replication is no simple feat. However, I don’t favor this situation."

Wang Sheng immediately used the origin at hand, beginning to calculate causality.

He sought to determine if the Corrosive Fate Dao still possesses his Copy Origin.

"I don’t sense it now, but perhaps the Corrosive Fate Dao has concealed it. Even if it successfully conceals, I should be able to perceive it."

Regarding the Causality Dao, he controls it less than time-space.

Yet his control isn’t negligible.

Using the causality of the Copy Origin, he intends to probe further, and just at this moment, a terrifying force descends.

"Dang!"

Almost instantly, a force crosses the Void, striking the Lifeless Dojo directly.

In the blink of an eye, the terrifying force tore apart the Dojo’s edges, turning them to Void fragments.

Wang Sheng’s quick response triggered the eruption of celestial power, protecting the core of the Dojo.
