Chapter 407: Within Mirror Moon Sea

In the endless chaos, a streak of light sped through the chaotic currents, following the river of time and space to move continuously away from the direction of the main universe.

It was a youth whose entire body burned with black flames.

It was none other than Lin Qing's Black Flame Clone.

Suddenly, deep within the chaotic currents ahead, a vast ocean vaguely appeared; its area was not large, merely tens of trillions of li across. The sea surface was incredibly calm, yet the various sea areas seemed to differ in height like different cross-sections, as if smooth mirrors had been spliced together.

Hanging above the ocean was a desolate, snow-like waning moon. The cold moonlight sprinkled over the entire sea surface, reflecting rows of waning moons within the water.

"Three thousand years have passed; finally, I have arrived at Mirror Moon Sea..."

The Black Flame Clone sighed slightly in relief, gazing at this sea surface. "Who knows if Like Yu Gong can persuade the current World God? Better to hide in Mirror Moon Sea sooner rather than later..."

At the very beginning of the Divine Kingdom War, after defeating Like Yu Gong, he had sent the Black Flame Clone to rush over.

Immediately, Lin Qing transformed into a streak of light and surged into Mirror Moon Sea.

This was the legendary chaos wonder known as 'Mirror Moon Sea'.

It is said that no precious treasures are born within Mirror Moon Sea, and that every intruder will be reflected by Mirror Moon Sea as a Mirror Puppet. The Mirror Puppet will pursue the intruder relentlessly in an attempt to replace them.

The key point is that a Mirror Puppet is born at regular intervals; if they cannot be destroyed, their numbers will only grow.

However, as long as one can destroy a Mirror Puppet, they can refine it to become their own Death-Substitute Puppet.

No matter by what power they are destroyed, only the Mirror Puppet will die.

Thus, this place has become a life-saving haven for some Eternal Existences.

Of course...

The Mirror Puppet is a replicated version of oneself, possessing exactly the same power and realm as oneself. It also possesses a self-awareness granted by Mirror Moon Sea, and the pressure inherent to Mirror Moon Sea itself does not affect the Mirror Puppet.

The environmental pressure alone would greatly reduce the power of an ordinary Eternal Existence; combined with the Mirror Puppet, the vast majority of Eternal Existences who enter are doomed to die.

But...

The Mirror Puppet also has an obvious flaw—

It cannot replicate World God inheritances.

Therefore, even at the Duke level, very few dare to enter Mirror Moon Sea.

Only a very small number of Eternal Peak experts who cultivate multiple World God inheritances, and Duke-level experts who have cultivated a World God inheritance, dare to enter Mirror Moon Sea.

"My power should be no problem..."

The Black Flame Clone surveyed this Mirror Moon Sea from mid-air. Without hesitation, it immediately transformed into a streak of light and drilled into the seawater.

On the mirror-like sea surface before his eyes, another him was clearly reflected. As he approached the sea surface, the other him within Mirror Moon Sea also seemed to be rushing toward him at great speed.

At the very moment of contact—

The Black Flame Clone only felt the transformation of time and space. Ripples spread across the seawater, instantly completely swallowing him whole. It was as if he had appeared in another world, where the extremely heavy seawater immediately pressed down upon him.

The power of this seawater pressure was so strong that even an ordinary Eternal Peak expert would face considerable restrictions in exerting their power.

However, for the Black Flame Clone at the Duke level, this pressure could be ignored.

"Boom!"

A Mirror Puppet identical to the Black Flame Clone immediately appeared before his eyes.

At the moment of its appearance, the Black Flame Clone's mirror image had already burned its life force, causing its aura to surge violently. It simultaneously unleashed various secret techniques; even the Black Flame Clone's innate Eternal Supreme Treasure and Divine Skill were exactly the same!

"It can even replicate the Duke level? Interesting."

The Black Flame Clone looked at the Mirror Puppet, which was identical to itself, with great interest. Immediately, a thought crossed its mind:

"Illusory World Great Annihilation!"

A vast illusory world descended silently, immediately enveloping the Black Flame Clone's Mirror Puppet and beginning to suppress its consciousness.

The Illusory World Great Annihilation is a secret technique that alters the essence of the soul and consciousness, formed purely of will. Once successfully cultivated, even after reincarnation, one need not re-cultivate; one only needs the bloodline key of the Void God Clan.

Moreover, clones can also use it.

After all, the consciousnesses between clones are connected. Although it appears the clone is casting it, in reality, Lin Qing's main body is casting this will-based secret technique, merely transmitting the will through the connection between the clones.

Therefore, any of Lin Qing's clones can use it. Even after reincarnating into the King Realm, it could be cast without needing to re-cultivate.

The 'Heart of the True God', which also utilizes mental will, is an inheritance of the same type.

But as a price, the treasures required to cultivate the Illusory World Great Annihilation and the Heart of the True God to the third layer far exceed those of other World God inheritances.

"Hmm?"

In an instant, the aura of the Black Flame Clone's Mirror Puppet plummeted drastically.

The illusory world formed by the Illusory World Great Annihilation can also be used to resist will-based secret techniques, but the Mirror Puppet does not possess the Illusory World Great Annihilation. Consequently, its power was immediately weakened to only two or three tenths of its original strength.

"Heart of the True God!"

After the Black Flame Clone activated the Heart of the True God, its entire aura immediately surged violently.

With this rise and fall, the gap in power became extremely large.

"Boom!"

The Black Flame Clone transformed into a world-annihilating flame that seemed to incinerate everything, directly piercing through the Mirror Puppet and instantly completely annihilating it.

At the same time, at the location where the Mirror Puppet was annihilated, a hexagonal mirror fragment the size of a palm appeared out of thin air, emitting an aura identical to that of the Black Flame Clone.

The Black Flame Clone reached out a hand and immediately sucked this mirror fragment into its palm.

"Obtained."

Looking at the mirror fragment in its hand, the Black Flame Clone saw the other him within the fragment and could not help but reveal a slight smile.

This is the Death-Substitute Puppet.

As long as this clone is within Mirror Moon Sea, no matter what lethal attack it suffers, it will be replaced by the Death-Substitute Puppet.

Moreover, as long as this Death-Substitute Puppet remains within the range of Mirror Moon Sea, it can repair itself endlessly.

It is equivalent to infinite death substitution.

Like Yu Gong is exactly like this.

"There are quite a few people from Mirror Moon Sea."

The Black Flame Clone sensed over a hundred auras within the entire Mirror Moon Sea.

Besides the Human Race, there were also Duke-level figures from the Machine Race, Mother River Race, Star Beast Race, and Origin Race in this Mirror Moon Sea.

The Human Race and the Machine Race, as allies, cultivate the inheritance of the Realm Gods, while the Mother River Race, Star Beast Race, and Origin Race cultivate the inheritance created by the Yu Xingyuan Ancestor.

Nearly all of the over a hundred auras were at the Duke level; only a handful reached the Eternal Peak level.

"Like Yu Gong is over there."

Lin Qing immediately sensed Like Yu Gong's aura; more than a dozen Human Race auras were concentrated in the same area of the Mirror Moon Sea, with Machine Race auras adjacent to them.

He did not hide; he flew directly toward that area.

At the same time, Lin Qing sensed that the Star Beast Race auras closest to him suddenly moved, rushing toward him simultaneously.

The Black Flame Clone had not cultivated the "Illusory Form Walking" technique; its evasion speed was ordinary, and it was quickly caught up by three of the Star Beast Race auras.

Star Beasts are various beastly lifeforms born from the starry sky of the Main Universe; originally, their relationship with the Human Race was quite good, but after the Yu Xingyuan invasion, the Star Beast race was eroded and assimilated by the Yu Xingyuan, completely taking the opposite side of the Human Race.
