"Oh? Who are you?"
There was a gleam of light in Ling Xiao's eyes, and he found that the middle-aged man in front of him looked like a real person, not like a clone condensed by martial arts at all.
"You can call me the Fate-Defying Clone!"
The middle-aged man smiled faintly.
"Fate-defying clone? Are you a martial arts clone condensed by the fate-defying technique?" Ling Xiao asked slowly with a gleam in his eyes.
“You can think so!”
The middle-aged man smiled faintly.
Ling Xiao felt that the middle-aged man in front of him was no different from a real living being. Although he looked extremely ordinary, his whole body exuded an extremely calm aura. It was a kind of indifference and confidence, and incomparable cleanliness, which Ling Xiao had never seen in anyone else before.
"So, I have to defeat you to pass the third level?"
There was a gleam of light in Ling Xiao's eyes, and he asked slowly.
"No need! You have already mastered the Fate-Defying Art to such a high level within a year! But in order to help you intuitively feel the power of the three techniques of the Fate-Defying Art, I will demonstrate them to you next!"
The middle-aged man smiled faintly.
Ling Xiao felt a little strange. The fate-defying clone in front of him not only refused to fight with him, but also wanted to help him demonstrate the power of the fate-defying technique. It felt very strange no matter how he looked at it.
However, Ling Xiao didn't say anything and nodded slowly.
"You look great! This is the first move, Life-breaking Form!"
The incarnation of Ni Fate smiled faintly, turned around and stood on the enlightenment platform. Opposite the incarnation of Ni Fate, an extraterritorial demon emitting a terrifying aura appeared.
The demon from outside the domain was covered in black scales, had a single horn on his head, and sharp claws on his arms. His blood-red eyes stared at the clone of Ni Fate.
Boom!
A very mysterious aura emanated from the body of the incarnation of Ni Fate. Ling Xiao felt that there was a mysterious light condensing between the brows of the incarnation of Ni Fate, like a dazzling divine rainbow, gorgeous to the extreme, and instantly shot towards the extraterritorial demon.
The extraterritorial demon roared, emitting a monstrous murderous aura. He turned out to be a nine-star demon general, a strong man comparable to the ninth level of the Supreme Being, and pounced towards the clone of Ni Ming.
Snap!
Ling Xiao seemed to hear vaguely the sound of something breaking, and saw a brilliant light instantly disappear between the eyebrows of the extraterritorial demon.
Then, a scene that shocked Ling Xiao appeared.
The extraterritorial demon seemed to be frozen, maintaining an attacking posture, motionless, and then slowly disappeared into the void.
As if it had been wiped out, there was no trace of the existence of the extraterritorial demon in the void.
"Directly attacking the fate, this kind of power can wipe out everything. It is indeed incomparable to the heavens!"
There was a gleam of light in Ling Xiao's eyes, and he had a deeper understanding of the first move of the Fate-Defying Technique.
"The following is the second move, burning life!"
The voice of the Ni Ming clone sounded in Ling Xiao's ears, as if it was instructing Ling Xiao.
Opposite to the Ni Ming clone, an even more powerful demon from outside the domain appeared. It turned out to be a Demon King, who possessed combat power comparable to that of a titled Supreme, and was terrifying.
The huge figure was tens of thousands of feet tall, with black air rising from it. A dark, evil, and cold aura enveloped the entire enlightenment platform.
A bright light flashed in the eyes of the Ni Ming clone, and a layer of red flames rose up around him. Ling Xiao could feel that the tremendous vitality in the Ni Ming clone's body was completely burning at this moment.
The heaven and earth trembled, and a power that made Ling Xiao a little frightened emanated from the body of the incarnation of Ni Fate, and instantly enveloped the Demon King.
The Fate-Defying Clone had just burned about five thousand years of his lifespan, yet was able to unleash such terrifying power.
The Demon King, who was originally roaring and struggling, trembled all over in an instant before this force, and then suddenly exploded.
There was no power to resist at all.
The horror of the art of defying fate is just this much!
"The third move, defying fate!"
The voice of the incarnation of Ni Ming also became a little solemn, and he said slowly: "Ni Ming means to defeat the way of heaven with human way, to use human power to operate the power of heaven, and to use human life to go against the destiny of heaven. This move should not be used lightly, it is a move that will kill you and the enemy together!"
Boom!
The sky was shaking, and above the Enlightenment Platform, the void was cracking, filled with chaotic mist, as if an eternal and immortal river of fate was descending below.
Lines of destiny spread out, and the incarnation of fate turned into a dazzling light and merged into the mysterious river.
A force that could shatter the heaven and earth and split the chaos descended, and the figures of several extraterritorial demons that had just appeared around the clone of Ni Mingfang disappeared without a trace.
It was as if it was wiped out by some great existence and disappeared completely.
"Having chosen the art of defying fate, your future is already closely tied to the long river of destiny. I cannot see through it either, but I believe that perhaps you can make it to the final step! Work hard, young man..."
A faint sigh from the incarnation of Ni Ming sounded above the enlightenment platform, and then instantly disappeared into the void.
Ling Xiao's eyes were shaken, still immersed in the final terrifying power of the Fate-Defying Technique.
Snap!
The void in front of him shattered, Ling Xiao directly passed the third level, and appeared in a palace in the third heaven.
"The Fate-Defying Clone is probably not a simple martial arts clone. Could it be the imprint of the soul left behind by some great being?"
There was a gleam of light in Ling Xiao's eyes as he guessed the true identity of the incarnation of Ni Ming.
"Hey, you actually passed the third level? I thought you were going to be eliminated!" A slightly surprised voice sounded.
The palace of the third heaven looked very empty, with only the heir of the Temple of War God sitting cross-legged inside.
There was still one month left before the one-year deadline, and Ling Xiao didn't expect that the successor of the Temple of War God would come out.
After all, on the Enlightenment Platform, one can comprehend powerful martial arts and hone one's combat power. It is also a rare opportunity, and many people will probably persist until the last moment.
"Thank you for your trouble. How could I be eliminated without reaching the ninth level? As for you, I hope to see you at the ninth level!"
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, and he glanced at the heir of the Temple of War God indifferently.
"The ninth level? Ignorance is bliss. You don't even know what the ninth level is! Don't worry, even if you make it to the end by chance, I will eliminate you myself!"
The heir of the Temple of War God said indifferently.
"Then let's give it a try!"
Ling Xiao smiled faintly, found a corner to sit down, and began to close his eyes and regulate his breathing.
A month passed quickly, and people passed the third level one after another and arrived at the palace of the third heaven.
In the end, there were a total of 501 people who passed the level, but only a few dozen were eliminated. Most of those people were overconfident and chose powerful martial arts, or were the ones who wasted three chances and failed to defeat the martial arts clones.
But overall, the third level is relatively easy, and as long as you choose to be conservative, you can pass it easily.
The Wuliang Taoist, Long Aotian, Long Zhantian, Fengnu, Yueshen and others who were with Ling Xiao all passed the third level safely without any accidents. Moreover, each of them had a strong aura. It seemed that they had gained a lot from their practice this year.
Ps: The third update. I have been out of town these two days, so there will be no update today. I owe you two chapters, which I will make up for when I get back. I will be home tomorrow night, so the fifth update will probably be tomorrow night. Brothers, go to bed early.
