Chapter 280: [Reset] Copied? A Heaven-Shocking Change!

~7 min read 1,355 words

The perspective returns to within the Yiji, to the Palace Complex beneath the sinkhole.

When Ye Bai's Mental Power covered the two extremely luxurious Palaces at the very center, an accident suddenly arose.

This accident could only be described as unexpected.

"Swish!"

Ye Bai's Mental Power was suddenly pulled by the Palace on the left, surging madly inside!

Just as Ye Bai realized something was wrong and wanted to retract his Mental Power, his entire person disappeared from where he stood.

When he appeared again, he was actually already inside that Palace! His whole person had been teleported over!

"Swish!" The moment he entered, he was standing on an Altar, the kind that enters a Different Space!

"This?!"

It would be impossible for Ye Bai not to be stunned.

He originally had no intention of snatching opportunities from anyone else; he only wanted to confirm where Li Qingqing was, then wait outside while exploiting bugs until the young girl finished her seclusion.

Who would have thought that just by covering the area with his Mental Power, he would be forced to trigger what was clearly the highest-quality opportunity trial within the Palace Complex, and the kind that hadn't even had a chance to bring along any Great Xia prodigies yet?

Especially when he saw clearly the puppet guarding this place.

It was not Copper Armor, nor even the Silver Armor or Gold Armor that Zhu Peng and the others had scouted, but a Transparent Armored Man whose armor was transparent, and whose entire body was also transparent, as if crafted in one piece from unknown crystal!

There was no need to think to know that the difficulty of the trial brought by this Transparent Armored Man that Ye Bai had to defeat would be beyond imagination!

And the facts were indeed so.

"Click, click." The next moment, the Transparent Armored Man was awakened.

At first, when Ye Bai sensed that the aura radiating from the latter was only at the Sixth Grade Peak, he thought he had guessed wrong and that the difficulty of the trial here was actually lower.

Then, he discovered that after the Transparent Armored Man was awakened, its gaze remained fixed on Ye Bai.

Then, an anomaly resembling flowing water ripples suddenly appeared on its body.

In an instant, a familiar face actually appeared in Ye Bai's line of sight—Ye Bai's face!

"Not good!" Ye Bai instantly realized what might happen next.

Without hesitation, he took the God-Slaying Spear in hand, activated Blood Armor Attachment, and added the blessing of his Killing Will.

He stepped in front of the Transparent Armored Man in one stride, unleashed a Flood-Tier Spear Technique, and thrust fiercely toward the latter's head.

"Boom!"

Yet he found that it was already too late!

He saw a long spear, identical to the God-Slaying Spear but transparent in color, collide with Ye Bai's God-Slaying Spear—spear tip against spear tip, neither able to do anything to the other.

Looking at the Transparent Armored Man now, what was it wearing if not the same Blood Armor as Ye Bai?

What was the Martial Dao Will permeating its body if not the Killing Will?

Even.

Ye Bai took a deep breath and attacked again with his spear.

This time, he did not use any Martial Technique.

Nor did he activate his Martial Dao Will.

"Boom!"

Yet a look of mockery flashed in the Toumingren's eyes.

Not only did it use another Flood-Tier Spear Technique that Ye Bai had mastered.

On its body, there was actually an aura of the Destruction Domain permeating!

God-Slaying Spear: "What the hell? Why does that transparent thing opposite have the aura I like most?"

"Boom!" Ye Bai was sent flying straight back by this spear!

"6..."

Ye Bai climbed up from the ground, looking at the "Ye Bai" opposite him, feeling the thoughts coming from the God-Slaying Spear; it would be impossible for his mood not to be complicated.

Clearly, the trial of this central Palace was to defeat a Copy that was identical to oneself in every aspect!

To defeat oneself!

Although at first glance it looked easier than fighting one of the six Alien Race members alone, at least there was no danger to his life.

But honestly, Ye Bai felt it would be better to fight for his life against one of those six Alien Race copies.

Who can determine a winner when the left hand fights the right hand?

Especially.

"Puchi!" The next moment, Ye Bai's perspective clearly saw that although the Toumingren did not press the attack, the look of mockery in its eyes grew even richer.

The protection of the Blood Armor on its abdomen vanished.

It stabbed itself three times in a row with a Dagger!

Not only was the Battle Saint Body definitely copied, but it also perfectly inherited Ye Bai's combat logic—starting the fight by self-mutilating with three stabs!

"So, there is a high probability that 【Reset】 exists as well."

"Then the question arises: am I certain I can kill it?"

Ye Bai's eye twitched.

He regretted using his Mental Power to scout this Palace a little.

However, Ye Bai's mental fortitude was very good, and he adjusted quickly.

"Puchi!" He stabbed his own abdomen three times in the same way!

"Come, let's fight!"

After all, the battle before him was unavoidable!

Ye Bai even had reason to suspect that if he didn't pass the trial here, no one would be able to leave the Different Space where the Palace was located!

Since that is the case, then kill!

Only by going all out is there a glimmer of hope!

"Boom, boom!"

Ye Bai took the initiative to step forward and engaged in a fierce battle with Toumingren!

But as mentioned, the opponent was an identical Ye Bai himself, one who had perfectly inherited Ye Bai's combat thinking.

Five minutes, ten minutes...

Twenty minutes of continuous fighting passed in the blink of an eye.

In these twenty minutes, Ye Bai could be said to have exhausted every trick in his arsenal.

Destruction Domain, Killing Will, and various other wills were switched incessantly.

Nine Extremes Spear Technique, Dragon-Slaying Spear Technique, and all sorts of Martial Techniques were used without pause.

Mental Power Techniques were the same; he used them whenever he could!

He even disregarded the injuries on his body, constantly trading injury for injury!

However, the only outcome was being easily neutralized by Toumingren!

When Ye Bai used Guardian Will, it used Destruction Domain.

When Ye Bai used Life Intent, it used Killing Will.

Ye Bai was trading injury for injury, but was the Toumingren opposite him not doing the same?

He could not establish even the slightest advantage!

And half an hour passed.

It was just as Ye Bai had estimated.

At the same moment his own injuries were instantly restored, so were the opponent's!

The Two-Star God-Level Talent 【Reset】 had also been copied over!

However.

The second after both sides recovered using 【Reset】, Ye Bai's eyes lit up.

He had seen the hope of victory...

Because before his 【Reset】, even with Blood Armor covering him, his exposed eyes were visibly aging and then becoming young again.

Yet, there was not the slightest change in the corners of Toumingren's eyes.

Not only that.

Ye Bai then thought of something and activated Guardian Will.

The Copy used Destruction Domain.

Ye Bai was shocked to discover that the Copy's Destruction Domain did not increase in comprehension progress by 0.1% like his own!

"Looking at it this way, defeating the Copy is simple..."

Ye Bai had already realized that the Copy could indeed replicate his various innate abilities.

But the system could not be replicated!

Furthermore, under normal circumstances, as long as the challenger breaks through themselves during the process—either by increasing their realm or by having their combat experience skyrocket—they can achieve victory!

"The only problem is that with 【Reset】 in hand, I might be able to defeat the Copy, but I might not be able to kill it..."

"But that is still better than having no hope."

Ye Bai's thoughts raced, and he then ferociously attacked once more!
