Qin Shigong stood up and dashed out in a flash. He was like an Asura of Calamity in this Spiritual Soul Starry Sky Array. The few remaining spirit bodies reacted as if they had seen a ghost when they saw him, and they quickly dodged.
This allowed him to reach the end of the galaxy without any obstructions. At the end of the galaxy, there was an azure star that looked like a tunnel that led to another time and space. Qin Shi stared at the star for a long time and narrowed his eyes. "I think this is the place that girl was talking about, right?"
"Yes, it should be here. I can sense an extremely strong Soul Power in this star. It's about the same as your current Soul Power."
"It's that strong?" Qin Shi was slightly surprised. This was something he had never expected.
"Yes, I believe that the surprise that the little girl mentioned should be this Spiritual Strength. If you are able to devour it, it is very likely that you will be able to improve once again."
"Let's go in and take a look!"
Qin Shi nodded and leaped into the star impatiently.
After entering the star, the surroundings became very bright. He circled around the star, his mind power still lingering around him as he searched for the powerful spirit that the evil spirit had mentioned.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, an extremely fast phantom flashed past his consciousness. He subconsciously turned around, but in the place he sensed, there was no one there. He couldn't help but feel surprised, "Was it an illusion?"
Swoosh!
He sensed the phantom scuttling behind him again.
This time, he didn't even turn around. He directly extended his mind power and tried to capture the body of the Soul Power.
Swoosh!
Unexpectedly, the speed of the Soul Power far exceeded his expectations. Even his mind power couldn't catch up to the figure. He could only catch a few traces that the figure left behind, which looked like a ball of purple dragon breath.
"So fast!"
Qin Shi secretly smacked his lips. His current speed was comparable to a perfected Domain Realm expert. He hadn't expected that the speed of this Soul Power would be even faster than his.
"Little fellow, be careful behind you!" the evil spirit suddenly roared.
Qin Shi was shocked and subconsciously leaped forward.
Boom!
Then, an ear-piercing explosion rang out. When he turned around, he stared at the spot where he had just been standing. It had been pierced through by an extremely powerful bolt of lightning. It was as if even the stars had fallen, and it filled him with lingering fear.
"That was close!"
"Little guy, it's above you!" The evil spirit reminded again.
Qin Shi raised his head fiercely. Following that, a gust of raging wind shot down from his forehead. He instantly felt his knees go weak. However, this was not the most shocking thing. When he saw the appearance of the phantom that was charging at him, his eyes narrowed and he was stunned.
"W-what's going on?"
Qin Shi swallowed a mouthful of saliva in shock. That phantom was clad in a black robe, with a head of black hair and a resolute countenance. There was even lightning flickering in her palms. Wasn't this Qin Shi himself?
When the Nefarious Demon saw the appearance of the phantom, it suddenly understood and exclaimed, "I know! Brat, this phantom is a spiritual body that the Spiritual Starry Sky Array simulated based on you!"
"Simulating my soul?"
"Yes!"
The evil spirit nodded its head in affirmation. "Could it be? I sensed something familiar when I was outside the star just now. Now I understand what's going on. If I'm not wrong, the Spiritual Starry Sky Array will automatically simulate the soul of the person who enters it. That little girl must have known about this, which is why she sent you here."
Qin Shi also gradually understood. However, he still felt that it was a little strange to fight with him.
"Little brat, don't underestimate this spirit body. Although it's an imitation of your soul, it's also an imitation of your consciousness and emotions. In terms of cultivation, it's on par with you. In terms of attack patterns, it's even more familiar with your attack patterns." The evil devil kindly reminded.
Qin Shi calmed himself down and gradually became serious. He could also feel that this spiritual body was fundamentally different from the souls of the beasts in the outside world.
Whoosh!
He abruptly took a step back, and the strong wind pressure descended upon him.
Boom!
The wind pressure missed, but Qin Shi's spiritual body seemed to have expected it. It stopped in mid-air and suddenly raised its palm high. A purple-gold spear appeared. There was a golden dragon circling the spear and the dragon's head was the spear's head. The dragon's breath spewed out as it stabbed forward with all its might.
"Purple-Gold Dragon Spear?"
Qin Shi's heart sank. This was a martial art that he had comprehended after breaking through to the fifth layer of the Incantation Peak. He did not expect it to be used by his fake soul first.
As the dragon spear approached, Qin Shi raised the golden pagoda with his bare hands. "Pagoda Become One!"
Bang!
Teng, teng, teng!
The dragon spear and the golden pagoda collided head-on. An extremely strong recoil rushed out. Qin Shi immediately felt the web between his thumb and index finger go numb. He continuously retreated a few steps.
Qin Shi gritted his teeth. "Damn it, I actually forced myself to retreat!"
Immediately, he raised his head and a golden flame appeared in his eyes. "Hmph, if you want to play, then I'll play with you!"
"Three thousand relics!"
Qin Shi flicked his fingers continuously and golden fireflies shot out from his ten fingers.
Dong dong dong!
Unexpectedly, as soon as Qin Shi attacked, the spiritual body in the distance stopped and actually did the same thing as Qin Shi. Golden relics and golden elixirs rose from both sides and exploded from the center.
"State of Extreme Bliss!"
Qin Shi was not surprised that the golden elixirs were imitated. When he used the State of Extreme Bliss, the other party actually did the same thing. Two golden heavenly realms shot up into the sky. Qin Shi could not help but open his mouth wide.
He could even imitate Rebirth level martial arts?
"Kid, he is you and you are him. Everything that you have learned, he can easily use it!"
"F * ck, so you're saying that I'm to blame?"
Qin Shi's forehead was filled with black lines. If he were to be defeated by his own clone, it would really be embarrassing enough if word of this got out.
Rumble!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Amidst the azure stars that filled the sky, Qin Shi and his doppelganger continuously clashed. Sparks flew in all directions. However, the more they fought, the more helpless Qin Shi felt. No matter what moves or patterns he used, they were all predicted by his doppelganger and neutralized in the simplest way. This made him completely useless.
On the contrary, he was constantly guessing but was continuously hit by the spiritual body. There was already a bloody wound on his chest caused by the golden light. The thick smell of blood permeated the stars.
In an instant, Qin Shi's brows were tightly knit together. He had descended into an unprecedented bitter battle. He had never expected that after experiencing so much, he would actually end up being placed in a difficult position by himself.
…
On the other side, during the two months that Qin Shi was in seclusion, a quiet conspiracy was brewing. In the direction of the Chaotic Realm, with Shi Hao as the leader, the three great protector elders were on a high platform outside the Chaotic Realm. This high platform was the venue of the Symbol Demon Competition.
A Buddhist voice came from the sky.
"How are the preparations?"
The three respectfully cupped their fists. Shi Hao's lips curled into a sinister smile. "Don't worry, Region Lord. Everything is ready. This time, as long as that kid comes to participate, we will definitely make him die without a burial place!"
"En, that's good. That force sent a message not long ago saying that they are about to carry out their plan. We must kill that kid before they carry out their plan."
"Yes!"
The three nodded. Only when the Buddhist voice disappeared did Shi Hao raise his head. He asked Chu Deyu, "Has the Ghost Shadow Daoist arrived?"
"Yes, he has already made his move in the sealed area!"
"That's good."
Shi Hao's old eyes flashed fiercely. He sneered and said, "Hmph, stinking brat, there is less than half a month left until your death."
The Sword Sect was immersed in a frenzy that had never been seen before the Symbol Demon Competition. All the disciples talked about the Symbol Demon Competition during their leisure time.
After all, the Sword Sect always forfeited in the previous Symbol Demon Competitions. Only this time, the Sword Sect sent a disciple to participate. The disciple who participated in the competition was Qin Shi, who was in seclusion and had great prestige in the Sword Sect.
In the main hall, Fang Qing sat in a dignified manner. "Uncle Feng, how is that kid?"
"He should be coming out soon, right?"
"Send someone to receive him. Also, call the sect elders to gather in the main hall. Prepare to open the spatial formation that connects to the chaotic area. Our Sword Sect has been silent for thousands of years. It's time for us to do something in this Symbol Demon Competition."
"Hehe, yeah. That kid is not someone who is willing to fall. Moreover, the reward this time is the Shattered Snow Azalea that he is determined to get. Just wait and see. It's going to be interesting." Feng Sha smiled while stroking his beard. Then, he turned around and jumped out of the main hall.
In the Beast World, where the Sword Sect was sealed.
Sword Intent and the others surrounded the Golden House and stared at the Star River Diagram. From here, they could clearly see the scene of Qin Shi inside.
Seeing that Qin Shi was fighting with his doppelganger, Sword Intent and the others clenched their fists nervously. "Shi Tou … Do your best."
Donkey Ruhua smiled faintly. "Has it begun?
I've done my best. Whether you can succeed or not depends on your own attainments. "
In the Star River.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Unceasing golden rays of light shot out. Under the intense bombardment, Qin Shi was obviously at a disadvantage. His soul body was constantly bombarding him from afar. Golden Core Sarira was like a bright sun in the sky, piercing through his body.
Qin Shi clenched his teeth. "Relic Mantle!"
Boom!
As soon as his Golden Pagoda was formed, it was suddenly smashed into powder by the Three Thousand Relics. He panted heavily and clenched his fists tightly. "Why?
Why!
Why! "
He couldn't figure out why his main body was inferior to his doppelganger. "Little guy, you have to calm down.
"Little fellow, you have to calm down. He knows all of your tricks. Don't forget, you are the same. You should be familiar with him. In this world, the person who understands you the most is you. You have to work hard to think clearly. If it were you, what would you do? Only by defeating yourself can you defeat him!" Seeing that Qin Shi had lost his composure, the evil spirit shouted anxiously.
"Defeat myself?"
Suddenly, Qin Shi was awakened by the evil spirit. He calmed his mind. "Yes, in this world, the one who understands me the most is myself. How can I lose to my doppelganger?"
He seemed to have grasped something.
"I have to change my usual tricks. Only by doing so can I defeat myself."
His black eyes were filled with joy. At this time, his doppelganger approached. A purple-gold dragon spear, which seemed to be able to split the sky and earth, was aimed at him with all its strength.
Subconsciously, he wanted to retreat. However, just as this subconscious thought sprouted, he suddenly bit his lips. He had already lifted his foot, but he forced it down.
Immediately, he revealed a faint smile and raised his head. A faint cold light flashed in his black eyes.
