Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

148. Chapter 148 The Avatar Dies, And The Strength Soars!

Chapter 148: Clone's Demise, Power Surges!

Swish!

Countless swords pierced through the body!

In an instant, the body of Shiling Laozu was torn into pieces, completely shattered!

Especially the head and tail, they were the primary targets of Liu Zimo's attack, and they were directly cut into dozens or even hundreds of pieces!

"Laozu!!"

Inside the confinement space, Yao Lingling, who was begging for Laozu's help, was instantly dumbfounded.

With eyes full of shock and surprise, she stared at everything happening in front of her, exclaiming in disbelief, her thoughts instantly in chaos:

"Laozu's clone was actually torn apart?!"

"How is this possible?! I must be dreaming!"

"Yes, I must be dreaming!"

"Laozu is already in the Saint Realm, one of the top three True Saints in the Illusory Demon Realm. How could he die so easily at the hands of a low-level human spiritual cultivator in a lower world?"

"Even if it's a clone, it's still a clone created by a True Saint. It shouldn't be so vulnerable to a single blow!"

"What about Laozu's spiritual web?"

"Why hasn't it appeared all this time?"

"If it had the spiritual web, who in the entire sea of consciousness could harm it?"

"This shouldn't be, right?"

"Laozu has already entered this sea of consciousness for a few breaths of time. With Laozu's strength, he should have already set up everything and completely controlled this sea of consciousness, right?!"

"But why is it like this now?"

Yao Lingling's thoughts surged and quickly turned.

Soon, it thought of a possibility that it didn't want to believe!

"Could it be?"

"Could it be that even Laozu's clone can't sense the boundaries of Liu Zimo's abnormal sea of consciousness, and can't directly establish roots and weave a web?!"

"This is impossible!"

"Laozu's clone is at least at the peak of the Spiritual Domain, and the detection range of its spiritual threads should not be less than two hundred thousand meters!"

"Even if Liu Zimo is powerful, his sea of consciousness couldn't have expanded beyond two hundred thousand meters in such a short time, right?!"

Yao Lingling kept denying its own speculation in its mind.

Even though it had been staying in Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness for the past few months, it could almost sense the fluctuating changes in Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness every day, vaguely feeling that his sea of consciousness was constantly expanding outward.

But because of its limited cultivation, its actions were restricted, and it never knew how strong Liu Zimo's mental power was now, or how vast his sea of consciousness was.

It only knew that when it was captured by Liu Zimo, Liu Zimo's spiritual cultivation realm was only at the Spiritual Communication Realm.

And now, just a few months later, Liu Zimo had jumped two levels in a row and successfully advanced to the Spiritual Abyss Realm!

Such a rapid advancement speed, even in the Illusory Demon Realm, was extremely rare, which was why it had always called Liu Zimo a freak!

And according to the inherited memories of their Shiling Worm clan, when a human spiritual cultivator reaches the Spiritual Abyss Realm, the size of their sea of consciousness generally ranges from ten thousand to twenty-five thousand square meters. Even for those with exceptional talent, the maximum depth would not exceed one hundred thousand meters!

But what was happening now?

Why couldn't the clone of Laozu, which had at least a detection range of two hundred thousand meters, take root and weave a web in Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness at the first opportunity?!

Moreover, it was beaten by Liu Zimo without any ability to fight back, and couldn't even withstand a single blow before being completely shattered!

What did this mean?

This meant that even Laozu's clone couldn't sense the boundaries of this sea of consciousness, nor could it smoothly establish roots and weave a web here!

Otherwise, with Laozu's domineering nature, he would never give Liu Zimo a chance to counterattack!

However...

Has Liu Zimo's spiritual cultivation strength and sea of consciousness really become so terrifyingly powerful?!

Thinking of this possibility, Yao Lingling couldn't help but shudder, feeling desperate.

If even Laozu's clone couldn't match Liu Zimo, this freak.

Then, how long would it, Yao Lingling, have to endure to break free from the shackles of this sea of consciousness and regain its freedom completely?

Did it have to endure until Liu Zimo's lifespan was exhausted and he died, before it had a chance?

No, it couldn't!

Although the lifespan of their Shiling Worm clan was endless, as long as there was no shortage of spiritual energy or internal conflicts within the clan, there was generally no concept of dying of old age.

In this situation, to endure the death of a human spiritual cultivator, it would only require a few more periods of hibernation, which it could endure.

But the key problem now was that even if Yao Lingling wanted to endure, Liu Zimo had to be willing to give it a chance!

Facing such a freak who had the ability to take away the spiritual crystals inside their bodies at any time and directly kill them.

Yao Lingling almost lives on the edge of life and death every day. How can it find peace and tranquility?

What if Liu Zimo takes its spirit crystal and refines its spiritual body while it is in a deep sleep? It wouldn't even have a chance to resist.

[Ah ah ah! So annoying!]

[Even the avatar of the Ancestor is dead, what should I do?!]

[Even if I cultivate for decades or even hundreds of years, I may not surpass the realm of the Ancestor's spiritual body!]

[Does this mean that I will never have a chance to leave here alive?]

[Ah ah ah~! This is not the kind of life I want! Can someone come and save me?!]

[...]

Yao Lingling's emotions completely collapsed.

It was a kind of despair that even ten times the spiritual essence couldn't heal.

Liu Zimo ignored the powerless roar of the little bug and had no intention of using more spiritual essence to appease it.

At this moment, all his attention was focused on the clusters of red spiritual bodies that had been cut into thousands of pieces by the Divine Martial Intent.

Because he discovered that although these spiritual bodies had been cut into so many pieces, they did not directly turn into spiritual essence and merge into his sea of consciousness like the devouring spirit insects he had killed before.

Under Liu Zimo's close observation, these fragments of red spiritual bodies were actually attracting and integrating with each other at an extremely fast speed.

It was like playing a jigsaw puzzle game. In less than two seconds, thousands of pieces of spiritual body fragments automatically merged and fused, restoring to their original state before being cut and killed.

That's right!

This avatar of the devouring spirit Ancestor actually came back to life!

"Ancestor, you're not dead?!"

"That's great! It's really great!"

Yao Lingling, who was already in despair, saw this miraculous scene happening before its eyes and instantly put away the desolation and sadness in its eyes, becoming excited and joyful again!

Indeed, it was the Ancestor!

Even when the avatar was cut into pieces by the Divine Martial Intent, it didn't die and recovered in an instant!

So powerful!

So terrifying!

This is more like it!

It said that even though the Ancestor is in the True Saint Realm, how could its avatar be easily killed?

The devouring spirit Ancestor ignored the shouting and screaming of this little bug.

After stretching its just recovered body, it slowly looked up at the void above the sea of consciousness and spoke loudly:

"Human kid, this Ancestor knows that you have been paying attention to every move of this Ancestor!"

"You have seen the means of this Ancestor just now, with your current cultivation level, you don't have the strength to completely kill this Ancestor."

"This Ancestor is in the Saint Realm, both in flesh and soul, has long transcended mortality and immortality!"

"If you don't want to die and turn your sea of consciousness into a dead land, it's best to show yourself and submit!"

In response to Liu Zimo's words, he disdainfully sneered.

Bluffing and full of lies!

Did he really think he was a three-year-old child who didn't understand anything and would believe anything he said?

If it really had the ability, it wouldn't have been cut into thousands of pieces by his sudden outburst of Divine Intent just now!

Also, don't think he can't see it.

Although this avatar looks exactly the same as the previous one on the surface, the spiritual energy aura on its body has been reduced by at least ten percent!

In other words, this kind of restoration Divine Ability it displayed does not come without a price!

With its current strength, it can only use it ten times in a row at most!

So, there's no need to waste any more words, just brush it nine more times!

Liu Zimo had no intention of showing himself and talking to the devouring spirit Ancestor.

Who knows if this old guy is deliberately trying to lure him out and then use his spiritual sense to locate his main soul?

After all, this is the avatar of a True Saint Realm, an old monster who knows how many years it has lived. It's better to be cautious.

So, just to be safe, killing it is the end of the matter!

Swish!

The Divine Intent rose again, and several cold lights swiftly approached, piercing towards the devouring spirit Ancestor's spiritual body!

Damn it, it's coming again?!

The devouring spirit Ancestor's expression changed slightly, and it instinctively wanted to dodge.

But soon it despairingly discovered that no matter how it tried to evade, these godly blades, like maggots attached to bones, were always able to quickly change direction and shoot towards it again!

If it was said that the first time it fell into an ambush, its spiritual body was torn into pieces by Liu Zimo's sudden attack, it was because it was careless for a moment and unfamiliar with Liu Zimo's attack methods.

Then, this second time, seeing these godly attacks suddenly appearing from any direction at any time.

The Ancient Spirit Ancestor truly realized that in a mental space completely beyond its control, being deliberately targeted by the original owner, it was so trapped and terrifying!

It was completely unable to evade, only passively getting hit!

After all, this was someone else's mental space, and the other party had an absolute home field advantage!

It was just like when their devouring spirit worms invaded a spiritual cultivator's mental space, once they were in the spiritual web, they could dominate everything.

No one could harm them in the mental space they controlled, while they could freely attack any spiritual body that invaded that mental space!

Just like now!

It's just that the situation has reversed, with offense and defense switching places!

It is now in a disadvantaged position, standing in the position of being passively hit, and it doesn't even know where the opponent's divine soul is hiding!

This is definitely something the Ancient Spirit Ancestor has never encountered in its tens of thousands of years of life journey!

It has never been in the mental space of any human spiritual cultivator, being made so miserable, and even its spiritual body clone is in danger of complete annihilation!

In the past, any human warrior or spiritual cultivator it targeted, even some Holy Realm existences, were all easily captured and turned into its slaves and puppets in minutes!

Being passively hit, having a home field advantage, and not being able to find the opponent's original body, are these things that don't exist?!

It never thought that one day it would actually fall into the mental space of a human cultivator in the Spiritual Sea Realm!

Being chased and killed by the other party, and not having the slightest ability to fight back!

It's so damn frustrating!

When has the Ancient Spirit Ancestor ever suffered such grievances and losses?!

But, everything happening before its eyes is just so bizarre and unreasonable!

Encountering a spiritual cultivator whose mental space far exceeds fifty thousand meters, it can't even weave a spiritual web, and its holy power and methods are completely useless, its strength reduced by ninety-nine percent!

In this situation, what else can it do?

It has become a turtle in a jar, only able to passively get hit without any ability to fight back!

[Damn it!]

If it weren't for this bastard mastering the power of rules, he would have directly injured the source of my spiritual body. Otherwise, with his current cultivation level, even if he stood there and let him attack, he wouldn't be able to harm me in the slightest!

This bastard must be a resurrected ancient immortal from this realm, otherwise how could he comprehend the laws of the Great Dao and control the power of rules at the level of his current cultivation?

Ah ah ah!

Don't let me catch an opportunity, otherwise I will definitely make this bastard wish he were dead!!

As Shiling Laozu dodged, he roared angrily in his heart.

Having roamed the Illusionary Demon Realm for tens of thousands of years, he had fought countless battles and enslaved countless beings. When had he ever suffered such a loss, endured such injuries?

Unforgivable!

If given the chance, he would definitely tear Liu Zimo apart, skewer him, and eat him all to relieve today's hatred!

Boom!

A few seconds later, Shiling Laozu, filled with anger and shame, failed to dodge once again and was once again struck by swords, instantly turning into fragments.

When it displayed its Divine Ability and restored its spiritual body once again, the cold light in front of it rose again. It didn't even have a chance to say a word before it turned into a pile of flesh once more.

Again and again, one strike after another!

After repeating this cycle nine times, the spiritual body of Shiling Laozu, which had been chopped into pieces once again, showed no signs of Integrated Union.

The holy source within its spiritual body had been completely worn away by the power of rules in Liu Zimo's divine intent attack, and it no longer had the power of Integrated Union for resurrection.

All the pieces of flesh that were cut off turned into extremely pure and rich spiritual sources, directly merging into Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness.

Even the faint white light that suddenly emanated from the shrimp head dissipated and vaporized under the irradiation of the "Scorching Sun" above, without a trace escaping from this sea of consciousness space.

Whoosh!

In an instant.

The seawater boiled, and the space trembled!

Liu Zimo's spiritual source also swelled by more than double!

Afterwards, the sea of consciousness expanded again, and the boundaries of space directly extended more than a hundred thousand meters outward, expanding Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness to a distance of one million one hundred thousand meters!

His spiritual cultivation level thus directly soared to the middle stage of the Spirit Abyss Realm!

Liu Zimo was overjoyed.

I never expected that by just killing a clone of the Spirit Devouring Ancestor, his spiritual cultivation would directly advance by a small realm!

You see, before this, Liu Zimo had been rushing through more than thirty cities across the country, spending a month and thirteen days, and killing nearly four hundred Spirit Devouring Bugs.

In addition, half an hour ago, despite Turtle's desperate consumption of the Advanced Spiritual Energy Source that gushed out from the teleportation channel, it greatly increased his spiritual cultivation.

But even so, it only barely pushed his initial stage of the Spirit Abyss Realm forward by about 0.63%.

And now, just a clone of the Spirit Devouring Ancestor has filled in the remaining 0.37%, directly breaking through to the mid-stage of the Spirit Abyss Realm.

Even after breaking through to the mid-stage of the Spirit Abyss Realm, this mental power did not completely stop. It also pushed his cultivation forward by about 0.1%.

In other words, just this clone of the Spirit Devouring Ancestor is already equivalent to the more than four hundred Spirit Devouring Bugs he had killed before, as well as the two opportunities Turtle had to break through and advance!

"I've hit the jackpot!"

"Just this battle alone has saved me at least forty years of independent cultivation time!"

"It's a pity that this is only a clone of the Spirit Devouring Ancestor, and there are no spirit crystals stored inside. Otherwise, the gains from this time could have been doubled!"

Liu Zimo licked his lips lightly, his eyes shining brightly.

If he wasn't afraid of not being able to defeat the true form of the Spirit Devouring Ancestor, and if the teleportation channel hadn't completely hidden itself, he would have already had the idea of attacking the teleportation channel again!

"The next time I have a chance, I must find a way to lure another clone of the Spirit Devouring Ancestor down!"

"Well, if my strength is enough, it would be best to lure out its true form too!"

After tasting the sweetness, Liu Zimo couldn't help but become a little greedy, and he was even thinking about the true form of the Spirit Devouring Ancestor.

At this moment, in front of the shattered body of the clone of the Spirit Devouring Ancestor.

Yaolingling, who was lying in the confinement space, looked at the scattered pieces of red flesh on the sea surface with a hopeful expression.

Praying that the Ancestor could rise again, turn the tables, defeat the perverted Liu Zimo, and save it from the fire and water.

But the result was that it saw the shattered body of the clone of the Ancestor, continuously vaporizing and dissolving piece by piece!

In the end, it all turned into extremely pure spiritual essence, rapidly merging into Liu Zimo's spiritual sea!

Such a familiar scene!

Yaolingling trembled, unable to help but feel sorrowful.

The same scene, in this spiritual sea, it had witnessed it hundreds of times in the past month or so, right?

But it never expected that one day, it would actually see the body of its own Ancestor's clone turn into such a state!

"It's over!"

"It's completely hopeless!"

"I never expected that even the Ancestor's clone would be killed, just like those brainless idiots before, becoming nourishment to strengthen Liu Zimo's spiritual sea!"

"Liu Zimo, this pervert, is indeed the nemesis of our Spirit Devouring Bug clan!"

"Now that even the clone of the Ancestor has been killed, what should I do in the future? Will I have another chance to leave?!"

"..."

Yaolingling was completely desperate.

Its thoughts were unusually low, and it even wanted to directly fall into a deep sleep and never wake up!

But this time, Liu Zimo, who was in a very good mood, didn't choose to ignore it anymore. Instead, he directly injected thirty times more spiritual essence into the confinement space.

Swish!

The habit of feeding that had been developed over the past few months made Yaolingling reflexively fly towards the spiritual essence, devouring and assimilating it with big mouthfuls.

The low and despondent thoughts that were about to sink into sleep were interrupted by the desire to eat and gradually calmed down.

Seeing this, Liu Zimo nodded slightly.

Very good.

As long as it still knows how to eat, it won't easily seek death or survival.

This was the "All-Knowing" that he had spent a lot of spiritual essence to deliberately cultivate. He couldn't afford any accidents.

At the same time.

The Illusionary Demon Realm.

At the entrance of the teleportation channel that connected to Earth.

The Spirit Devouring Ancestor, who had been lurking here, constantly devouring and assimilating the massive Bloodthirsty Qi that was transmitted from the teleportation channel, suddenly felt a slight tremor in his mind. He abruptly opened his eyes, which were glowing with a bloody light, and looked down towards the other end of the teleportation channel. He murmured to himself:

"Interesting!"

"Even my own clone was defeated over there, and not even a bit of relevant memory information was able to be transmitted back!"

"It seems that Lord Demon Master was right. This lower realm called Earth is indeed not simple!"

"When the next teleportation channel opens, I must take a good look at who exactly is so extraordinary that they can kill my clone!"
