were still extremely fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those figures, like startled swans or lightning bolts, also flew toward the Formless Leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other strong players clearly didn't possess Jiang Wenxing's \"creation\" ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus their goal was simply to seize at least one Formless Leaf amidst the chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in that brief span of less than 0.1 seconds, the situation instantly changed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Wenxing, who had reached for the numerous Formless Leaves, seemed to suddenly remember something...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pupils abruptly contracted, and he violently pulled back his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive black net that had already been thrown out suddenly retracted, transforming back into the thorny black whip in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene appeared quite abrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, there was already precedent...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So these strong players instantly recalled the scene where a VIP strong player who had forcibly tried to pick a Formless Leaf was directly erased!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"erasure\" mentioned in the announcement...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a terrifying method that meant instant death upon contact!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how many revival methods you had, they were useless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, these strong players also followed Jiang Wenxing's lead and temporarily withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, they were worried that—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even lightly touching the falling Formless Leaves would be judged as \"damage,\" causing them to be directly erased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was better to wait and observe a bit longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone dared to be the first to try catching a Formless Leaf without being erased...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they could make their move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, life only came once, and it needed to be cherished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when everyone held this mindset, there simply wasn't anyone willing to be \"the first to try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the rustling falling Formless Leaves went from being fiercely contested to completely ignored, all successively falling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground around this Formless Tree was covered in scorched black soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the entire Formless Tree, it seemed to emanate a sense of \"death aura.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of strong players estimated that Jiang Wenxing would select someone to be that \"first to try\" lab rat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the lab rat picked up a Formless Leaf without being erased...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the others could spring into action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, their thinking was quite idealistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Wenxing indeed planned to do exactly that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these landed Formless Leaves didn't indulge them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On that patch of scorched black land...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All 99,999 Formless Leaves instantly turned into charred black soil!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the poem described—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fallen petals are not heartless things, they turn into spring mud to nurture flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After these numerous Formless Leaves turned into charred soil...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Formless Tree visibly became even more deathly still!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if it had absorbed massive amounts of death aura from those vanished Formless Leaves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This abrupt scene directly stunned all the strong players present!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many Formless Leaves...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all disappeared in the blink of an eye??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Formless Leaves gone... how were they supposed to obtain Court Session slots?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And according to the previous announcement, all 99,999 Formless Leaves needed to be bound before the Court Session could begin...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, damn it, didn't this make achieving the Court Session conditions completely impossible?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, after the intense panic, these strong players, including Jiang Wenxing, naturally turned their attention to the single Formless Leaf still hanging on the entire Formless Tree...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Formless Tree had completely become a \"bare commander.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one human-shaped leaf remained steadily hanging high up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although these human-shaped leaves all looked identical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both these strong players and Jiang Wenxing were absolutely certain—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That single remaining human-shaped leaf...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was precisely the one formed from Jiang Ye's corpse after the Formless Tree absorbed his blood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seemingly unsolvable problem now had an obvious answer—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They just needed to find 99,998 more Jiang Ye clones to feed blood to the Formless Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the entire bald Formless Tree could return to its original state!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Jiang Wenxing's extremely ugly expression slightly eased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his attention, which had been captured by the Formless Tree, finally returned to that \"Nomadic Merchant\" and the countless light shadows behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other strong players thought those countless light shadows were the Nomadic Merchant's means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Wenxing could see—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those light shadows were clearly Jiang Ye's clones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also why he questioned the identity of this bizarre-looking \"Nomadic Merchant\" in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, with the problem returning to its origin, he needed these Jiang Ye clones to nurture more Formless Leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he could only continue confronting this suspected Nomadic Merchant entity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Jiang Wenxing's forceful gaze turned toward the Nomadic Merchant again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the unexpected changes with the Formless Tree had disturbed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps the scales of suspicion in his heart tilted even more toward this \"Nomadic Merchant\" being an imposter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now, his tone toward this suspected Nomadic Merchant was noticeably less polite than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it carried the arrogance and aggressiveness he typically showed toward ordinary strong players: \"The doubts I raised earlier still await the Nomadic Merchant's explanation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous Jiang Ye, unsure how to deal with Jiang Wenxing, had indeed been panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with the changing situation, he had come up with an excellent idea!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this time, he didn't remain silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he emitted a meaningful light hum from the direction of the mutated clone entwined with red snakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he hurled words down from above toward Jiang Wenxing, faintly revealing mockery and contempt for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this wave of mockery didn't lose the imposing demeanor expected of a Nomadic Merchant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All karma in this world is deserved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Formless Tree ending up in this state...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And you failing to obtain Formless Leaves...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is all exactly what you deserve!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, mere verbal mockery naturally couldn't suppress Jiang Wenxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That guy's face turned livid, veins bulging on the hand gripping the black whip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he might actually dare to attack the \"Nomadic Merchant\" at any moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Jiang Ye certainly wouldn't give him the chance to attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his arrogant mockery, he frantically chanted in his heart—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clone fusion clone fusion clone fusion...!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The countless flickering floating streams of light abruptly vanished!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including that pure black mutated clone entwined with red snakes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All fused in one breath into the single remaining Formless Leaf on the Formless Tree!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye had actually experimented extensively with clone fusion before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He discovered that when fused clones exceeded a certain number, the clone receiving the fusion would struggle to contain them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the fatigue and discomfort from the main body generating numerous clones, the clone that fused with many others would experience distending pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And its control over the body would become sluggish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even faintly felt that if he continued forcing fusion, he might explode on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation was probably because the \"physical body\" of the fused clone wasn't strong enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that Formless Leaf didn't seem to have this problem!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye's ninety thousand light clones, along with that eerie mutated clone, all fused into it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he felt no discomfort whatsoever!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the Formless Leaf's appearance, which showed no visible changes to the naked eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of other strong players, they simply saw sudden disappearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Wenxing seemed to possess unique detection methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze instantly shifted from the direction where the \"Nomadic Merchant\" disappeared to that Formless Leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, surprise and shock flashed in Jiang Wenxing's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with a trace of confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what shocked him even more the next second was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The single remaining Formless Leaf on the entire Formless Tree...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just vanished right before everyone's eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Replaced by a light shadow shooting straight toward Jiang Wenxing's direction!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked quite imposing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in Jiang Wenxing's eyes, this was just one of Jiang Ye's light-element clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing firm without fear, he directly transformed the black whip into a black net again, trapping the light shadow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trapped light clone Jiang Ye felt shocked inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected this black net could even trap light!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn't panicked at all internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disappearance of the Formless Leaf was actually him secretly using clone swapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had swapped the entire Formless Leaf fused with numerous clones with the light clone he had lent to Zhou Yuling to divert the strong players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, this action of his carried considerable risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there was already precedent—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Formless Leaves that left the Formless Tree were clearly dead objects!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when growing on the Formless Tree could they \"live\" as clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such rash clone swapping...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if after leaving the Formless Tree, it became a dead object again, no longer recognized as his clone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, honestly, Jiang Ye wasn't even sure if such clone swapping could succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the threat of Jiang Wenxing, he naturally wouldn't have attempted this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Wenxing was clearly growing increasingly suspicious that he wasn't the Nomadic Merchant, even showing signs of preparing to attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had to take the risk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly because Jiang Ye had a vague feeling...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main body's integration might be extremely special for that Formless Leaf?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, why did all the other Formless Leaves fall after the main body integrated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he thought that after the main body integrated...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it left the Formless Tree again, this Formless Leaf might no longer be a dead object!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The facts proved exactly right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, the light clone appeared on the high branch where the Formless Leaf hung.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly dove toward Jiang Wenxing's direction to attract his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, such a small Calamities clone, even being light-element, naturally wouldn't be Jiang Wenxing's match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn't a big problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Formless Leaf clone that had escaped everyone's attention secretly accomplished something major!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Performing [clone swapping] again with a clone in the prison!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Formless Leaf fused with numerous clones freshily entered the time-stop prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Jiang Wenxing's side...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After quickly trapping the light shadow in the black net, he seemed to detect something, his face suddenly darkening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, he abruptly swung his whip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black net smashed fiercely onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye's trapped light clone felt a wave of fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, it seemed all his strength and vital energy had been drained away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the Light and Shadow Escape effect dissolved, and he transformed from light shadow into human form!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other strong players then discovered—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This light shadow actually had Jiang Ye's appearance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling witnessing this scene wasn't particularly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in her heart, she finally began to form an extremely terrifying, horrifying thought—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were all those numerous light shadows surrounding the Nomadic Merchant earlier...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Jiang Ye's clones?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those ninety thousand clones he generated to clear the Court of Disorder...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could they all, damn it, possibly be light-element?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, that shouldn't be possible, right? That's too absurd!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, Zhou Yuling also had some suspicion—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that \"Nomadic Merchant\" earlier also impersonated by Jiang Ye?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just... too damn bold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mere newcomer daring to impersonate the Nomadic Merchant, directly confronting a Reincarnator?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he know the consequences of such actions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps now, he should know...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling felt heavy-hearted, watching helplessly as that Jiang Ye exposed by Jiang Wenxing's whip had his skin torn by the whip's thorns the next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, just like the previous Clone No. 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This light clone's blood continuously seeped from the wound, transforming into blood mist that surged toward the blood mark on the Formless Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this wasn't the end!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Wenxing's face remained dark as he threw the black whip into the air again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the next second, the black net formed by the whip, while continuously contracting, seemed to form a fist that violently crushed the void!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire space trapped by the black net seemed to form a black hole!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, as the black hole dispersed, another Jiang Ye clone appeared...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Wenxing showed no mercy, acting with thunderous decisiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another thorn tore through this other Jiang Ye clone's skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, more blood mist surged toward the blood mark on the Formless Tree!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the Formless Leaf escaped in time, and Jiang Wenxing clearly couldn't capture clones in the time-stop prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the numerous Jiang Ye clones had all fused into the Formless Leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resulting in extremely few Jiang Ye clones remaining in the entire Formless Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was the light clone Jiang Ye actively offered;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was the prison clone swapped out when moving the Formless Leaf into the prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two clones were ones Jiang Ye had decided to sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, for him, bleeding to feed the Formless Tree didn't count as sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just felt quite humiliating being forced by Jiang Wenxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, Jiang Ye would regain his dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he swapped that prison clone with the Formless Leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also brought out one most special clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was... the Observer clone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to [Existence Negation], the Observer clone couldn't use clone swapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And couldn't be detected by any existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So clearly, Jiang Wenxing at this time also didn't detect the Observer's presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this thing itself \"didn't exist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Jiang Ye prepared to stealthily use the Observer clone to throw the [Dice of Fate] at Jiang Wenxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Jiang Wenxing, while capturing another Wu Ying clone, use the Wu Ying clone to create another [mimic mask]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he directly threw that [mimic mask] to a strong player present, saying in a forceful tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wear it, bleed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words directly stunned the strong players present!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Jiang Ye, who was preparing to use the Observer clone against Jiang Wenxing, was equally stunned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After brief consideration, he temporarily abandoned the decision to throw the [Dice of Fate] at Jiang Wenxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he decided to observe a bit longer...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Jiang Wenxing's operation seemed to imply—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to test whether players who transformed into Jiang Ye's face could also nourish the Formless Tree when they bled?\u003C\u002Fp>",2347,"2026-06-03T07:17:36.055Z","2026-06-03T07:17:41.424Z",1,"novelbin.me","66a08e8c08c7f06e9a7721db9533bccd48dd1e90ad94f0aa5b915a90e2d89c8d","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-357","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-355",575,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-cover.jpg"]
