Chapter 515: Chapter 434: Copying the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity’s Ability: Abyssal Shadow!

The moment the Saint Law Celestial Monarch issued the Immortal Decree, the path Su Yuan had taken resonated with a heavy rumble, as if a massive door had closed.

"Oh dear, we didn’t escape."

"The old relics from the Ancient Era sure can react quickly."

Noticing that the path ahead was completely sealed, An Xingran stopped in her tracks, playfully sticking out her tongue.

At that moment, a Devouring Demon Tree twisted its countless willow-like branches, whipping them towards An Xingran and Su Yuan.

Fortunately, before the branches could get close, they were influenced by some kind of power related to life and death reincarnation and quickly withered and decayed.

Using the power of the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch, An Xingran maneuvered Su Yuan through the gaps between the Devouring Demon Tree.

However, continually dodging wasn’t a viable solution, especially since the Decaying Celestial Monarch had also made his move.

With his action, the entire land of the Immortal Realm was consumed by some kind of seven-colored substance.

The multicolored light made Su Yuan’s eyes ache.

But upon closer inspection, he noticed that these substances weren’t actually multicolored; their essence was a type of black mud Su Yuan was very familiar with.

Simply put, it was... a five-colored black.

In terms of effects, this black mud was definitely the Pro Max version of the black mud Su Yuan created. Just a little touch would inevitably make one a slave to the Decaying Celestial Monarch.

As a result, An Xingran’s room for movement grew even smaller.

Not to mention that the Saint Law Celestial Monarch was continuously issuing law after law:

"Jumping and running are prohibited in the Immortal Realm."

Upon the decree, An Xingran’s legs suddenly suffered an invisible assault, as if they were pork shanks on a chopping board, delicately chopped into bits by an unseen blade.

Without legs, she surely couldn’t jump or run, could she?

"Stealing others’ belongings is prohibited in the Immortal Realm."

After the decree, the doll-like face of the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch began to slowly peel off of An Xingran’s face, and she was on the verge of losing the power of the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch.

By then, the situation would become even more precarious.

"Damn it, letting Junior Sister An handle three on her own really won’t do, looks like I must intervene."

Su Yuan thought to himself, then with a heavy heart, gambled all the hard-earned 6,500 Destiny Points from the Primordial Sect!

With 6,500 Destiny Points now added, An Xingran, who was previously in a dire situation, suddenly moved with much more ease, as if the Devouring Demon Tree and the five-colored black mud intentionally avoided her.

Even the Saint Law Celestial Monarch, who was issuing decrees, bit his tongue while speaking, leaving him speechless in pain for quite some time.

If not for the fact that the Saint Law Celestial Monarch before them was just a stand-in, his blushing tongue would have looked quite cute.

Yet, such a fortunate turn only lasted for a few seconds before the situation grew dire once again.

For battles among the Divinity Transformation level, 6,500 points of Destiny Points were still too little.

Su Yuan’s mind raced, and he suddenly said to An Xingran:

"Junior Sister An, say, you willingly join the Primordial Sect created by Su Yuan."

"Huh? Is this what you’d call voluntary?"

An Xingran bit her lower lip, resembling a student being coerced by a teacher to fill out a survey form.

"Quickly now!"

"I, An Xingran, although not very willing, ultimately willingly join the Primordial Sect created by Su Yuan!"

No sooner had the eighteen-year-old black-haired high school girl finished speaking, than the sect’s destiny points on Su Yuan’s system panel skyrocketed.

In the blink of an eye, they surged from zero to... one hundred thousand points!

The Tribulation Moon Pearl, the Sect’s Treasure, could only suppress a maximum of ten thousand destiny points; the excess simply dissipated.

Struck it rich!

Then... time to spend to avert disaster!

Without hesitation, Su Yuan boosted himself with ninety thousand Destiny Points, leaving ten thousand as backup destiny.

Keeping this reserve was partly to prevent sudden crises in the Primordial Sect.

The other part was to prevent himself from getting into trouble once the destiny effect ended.

There’s no free lunch in the world; An Xingran brought ten thousand destiny points for the Primordial Sect, so the Primordial Sect must bear her karma.

Simply put, maintaining stability without An Xingran in the sect required only one or two thousand destiny points, but with her in the sect, the minimum required for stability jumped to ten thousand.

But there’s no turning back now, if truly pushed to the brink, those ten thousand points had to be used.

With the addition of ninety thousand destiny points, the Saint Law Governance Council side began making frequent mistakes, providing An Xingran ample room to breathe.

"Oh? I never thought I could really take on three at once, I’m amazing!"

An Xingran exclaimed, full of energy.

"Amazing my foot; I’ve been carrying all the burden behind the scenes."

Su Yuan silently retorted in his heart.

But he knew that relying solely on ninety-six thousand five hundred destiny points wouldn’t last long; he must find a way to break through the sealed exit of the Immortal Realm.

To accomplish this, there was only one method.

That was to have An Xingran strip the Saint Law Celestial Monarch of his face and use his abilities to lift the blockade.

But... could such a thing really be done?

An Xingran, go finish off the Saint Law Celestial Monarch?

Sigh, if I had known, I should have targeted the Saint Law Celestial Monarch from the start; the battle would have been much more interesting that way... Suffering from a lack of intelligence.

But there’s no point in talking about this now; what’s most important right now is to break the situation.

After a brainstorming session, Su Yuan decided to claim the reward for the recently completed "Catch the Traitor" task.

Then quickly replicate one of the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity’s abilities; maybe I can replicate an ability that can counter the Saint Law Celestial Monarch.

Immeasurable Calamity Old Deng, as the only known existence above Divinity Transformation currently, don’t disappoint me!

Su Yuan shouted in his heart as he opened the system interface to claim the reward.

[Task Reward: Randomly replicate one ability of Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity *1 (claimed)]

[Congratulations to the host for acquiring the ability from Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity: Abyssal Shadow]

[Abyssal Shadow (Rule Level) (Shadow): Within the realm under your control, you can create a certain number of shadows. The shadows can replicate all abilities and memories of the corresponding target, with the duration related to the user’s cultivation.]

[After killing the target, Abyssal Shadow can permanently replace the target, capable of independent action, survival, and even cultivation and becoming stronger without the user’s control.]

[Please note: If the Abyssal Shadow is sealed or killed, the corresponding target will become immune to the Abyssal Shadow, and no new Abyssal Shadow can be created.]

As the introduction of the new ability surfaced on the system panel, Su Yuan’s mind was also infused with extremely immense and complex knowledge.

And this knowledge is clearly not the full picture of "Abyssal Shadow," Su Yuan could distinctly feel a mysterious authority integrating into his body.

That authority does not belong to the Primordial Dao or any other Dao.

To put it bluntly, it is the very power of the Abyssal Shadow itself, which has replicated the authority of Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity, then merged into Su Yuan’s body.

"Rule level? A new level has appeared, but what does this ’Shadow’ mean?"

Su Yuan frowned, trying hard to digest the knowledge in his mind.

Soon, he understood the meaning of "Shadow" from the knowledge he obtained.

The Abyssal Shadow divine technique is unique; the reason he and Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity can both use this ability is because his ability is a ’shadow’.

And shadows must have a time limit, which is twenty years.

If within twenty years, it cannot replace the original, this ability will disappear from Su Yuan.

"If I could replicate the ability of Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity again in the future, it probably won’t be in full, but rather a time-limited ’shadow’."

"Haha, the damn system really is finding ways to make me spar with Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity."

Su Yuan secretly gave a bitter smile.

Is the Abyssal Shadow ability strong?

Absolutely strong, and it is overpowering, like drawing a human rights card level strong.

After all, the root of Su Yuan’s current crisis is precisely the divine technique of Abyssal Shadow, a definite big win.

"But, the damn system seems to have overlooked something..."

"Damn it, the Abyssal Shadow ability doesn’t seem to help in my current situation."

"The only help it provides is letting me know that there’s something wrong with the Decaying Celestial Monarch’s decoy."

Since the Abyssal Shadow of the Decaying Celestial Monarch has been sealed, theoretically, it can’t be replaced by a new shadow.

This indicates that the Decaying Celestial Monarch from the Holy Law Governance Council is a fake within a fake, and the real Decaying Celestial Monarch is still hiding somewhere unknown.

But what is the meaning of knowing this information?

Fake Decaying, true Divinity Transformation!

Can’t really create shadows of the Saint Law Celestial Monarch and other Divinity Transformations, and let the shadows fight each other.

If possible, Su Yuan would be willing to do so, but clearly, the cultivation level does not allow it.

The same ability used by different cultivation levels results in entirely different effects.

Currently, Su Yuan can at most replicate some Golden Core Cultivators’ shadows, which won’t impact the current situation at all.

At this moment, a ding suddenly rang in Su Yuan’s ear.

[Main Quest "Whoever is strong is the Demon Venerable" has been updated!]

[Task: Kill the Traitors (In Progress)]

[After discovering the traitors, please don’t be soft-hearted, and eliminate them as soon as possible, or they will inevitably bring disaster!]

[Task Progress: Kill the traitors (0/4)]

[Task Reward: Randomly replicate Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity ability *1]

Seeing the newly refreshed task content, Su Yuan almost laughed in anger.

After completing the task in excess, is it just so you can increase the difficulty of my next task stage?

And after catching the traitors, was it that I didn’t want to eliminate them?

Clearly, it was impossible!

It’s a relief if the traitor doesn’t eliminate me first.

The damn system is indeed unforgiving!

And while Su Yuan was feverishly ridiculing in his mind, he was also always observing the external situation with a fraction of his attention.

Obviously, as time progressed, the fortune brought by ninety-six thousand five hundred Destiny Points began to diminish bit by bit.

Fortunately, the power of fate is strong.

As the situation gradually got bogged down, from outside the Immortal Realm, a voice identical to the Saint Law Celestial Monarch suddenly came through.

"All decrees issued by the Saint Law Celestial Monarch in the last hour are void!"
