Yang Qi classified the types of treasures and picked out the treasures that could help him attain enlightenment. If he could not raise his realm to the peak of Martial King through his own practice in a short period of time, he could only use these enlightenment treasures to improve the effect of his enlightenment.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Yang Qi's attention was suddenly attracted by a roll of ancient animal skin. He immediately turned over the skin and examined it carefully.
"This is... the method of splitting one's body!"
As Yang Qi looked through it, he immediately realized that this scroll of ancient animal skin recorded the Blood Demon Ancestor's method of splitting himself.
After reading the contents written on the animal skin, Yang Qi muttered, "It turns out to be like this. No wonder he didn't use his clone right from the start when dealing with the Blood Demon Ancestor."
When dealing with the Blood Demon Ancestor before, the other party used his clone, and Yang Qi and others were very puzzled. Since he had a clone, why didn't the Blood Demon Ancestor use it at the beginning, but had to wait until he was desperate to use it. However, because the Blood Demon Ancestor died, everyone did not continue to dwell on this issue.
At this time, after Yang Qi finished reading the method of clone recorded on the animal skin, he finally understood why the Blood Demon Ancestor did not use the clone at the beginning, and only used the clone to escape when he was fighting desperately!
It wasn't that Blood Demon Ancestor didn't want to use his clones at first, but because when they fought with Blood Demon Ancestor, Blood Demon Ancestor didn't have any clones at all. The clones were created by him during the battle. And considering Blood Demon Ancestor's situation at that time, creating clones was a desperate measure, which was why Blood Demon Ancestor didn't use clones until it was absolutely necessary.
This also explains why the Blood Demon Ancestor’s strength was greatly reduced again after the appearance of his clone!
"Blood clones can create a clone in battle, but to create a clone, you need to practice the Blood God Canon and prepare the original blood in advance." Yang Qi looked at the animal skin and continued, "The original blood requires the blood of at least 180,000 creatures. The more creatures that refine the original blood, the stronger the blood clone will be!"
Blood clone is an extremely evil and brutal method of creating clones. A practitioner at the Martial King level of original blood can withstand one drop, and a Martial Emperor can withstand two drops. However, only one clone can exist at a time. Only when one clone dies can the original blood be used to create another clone.
This is also why Luo Ye’s intelligence said that the Blood Demon Ancestor’s clone had been killed long ago, and that the Blood Demon Ancestor still had a clone in the previous battle. This was because this clone was the decision made by the Blood Demon Ancestor when he knew that he could not defeat Yang Qi and others, and he had to abandon the pawn to save the king!
“The practitioner who created this method of clone is indeed a powerful senior. When creating a clone, he reduced the damage to the soul.” Yang Qi said with emotion.
This blood clone method reduces the damage to the soul a lot. You should know that the clone method requires the practitioner to divide part of the soul to the clone, otherwise the clone cannot exist forever. The strength of the clone is often related to the strength of the soul. The more souls are separated, the stronger the clone is, and vice versa.
Although the strength of the blood clone is also related to the strength of the soul, the degree of correlation is greatly reduced. Instead, it is closely related to the strength of the original blood. The stronger the original blood, the stronger the blood clone!
Originally, treasures that restore souls are very precious. Creating a clone requires part of the soul, and the original soul is damaged and naturally needs to be restored. The blood clone reduces the demand for souls, and the resources needed to restore the soul of the original body are much smaller. In addition, the blood clone can be created in battle, and two clones can be created continuously when reaching the Martial Emperor Realm, which greatly increases the practicality. It can be seen that this clone method is powerful.
Unfortunately, although this clone method is powerful, it is based on the lives of other creatures. The weakest original blood requires the blood of 108,000 creatures. What about the stronger original blood? Millions of creatures, tens of millions of creatures, or even hundreds of millions of creatures
"There is really no need to pass down this kind of magic skill!"
Yang Qi's eyes focused, and a wisp of black phoenix flame surged out from his hand and fell on the animal skin. After a moment, the animal skin that recorded the blood clone's cultivation method turned into a pool of ashes.
Destroying the animal skin that recorded the blood clone, Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and muttered, "Clone!"
This was not the first time Yang Qi had come into contact with an avatar. The first avatar he had come into contact with was the faith avatar that the Emperor of Light used to assimilate the corpse ancestor. In addition to avatars, energy bodies condensed by consciousness could also be considered avatars to some extent, but energy bodies condensed by consciousness would quickly dissipate because there was no soul in them.
The energy body of condensed consciousness also has its advantages, that is, there is no limit on life span. You must know that the life span of the clone is the same as that of the original body. However, if the consciousness is sealed, it can exist for a longer time. This is why some powerful people often leave behind consciousness instead of clones, because if they leave behind clones, they would have perished long ago!
During this period of time in this star field, Yang Qi also encountered several practitioners with clones. The ones that impressed him the most were the clones of the Ten Thousand Witch King and the Blood Demon Ancestor. The clone of the former could maintain 70% to 80% of the strength of the original body, and the clone of the latter could not only be created in battle, but also created continuously!
Because of his clone, the King of Ten Thousand Witches not only escaped from the hands of the Martial Emperor, but also avoided being hunted by Yang Qi. Although the Blood Demon Ancestor died, the blood clone he created would probably have escaped as well if it had not encountered Tong Shan's bloodline martial arts.
No matter whether it is the King of Ten Thousand Witches or the Blood Demon Ancestor, after having a clone, they all have one characteristic, that is, their ability to preserve their lives is greatly increased!
Although Yang Qi's physical defense and even his own recovery ability are extremely strong, and he even has a mid-grade defensive Taoist soldier, there are still many practitioners who can kill him. Yang Qi's defensive means, facing practitioners with similar strength, the opponent really can't do anything to him, but if he encounters a practitioner with much stronger strength than him, he can still be easily killed.
If he had a clone, it would undoubtedly enhance Yang Qi's ability to survive. After meeting a number of practitioners who possessed the ability to create clones, he developed a strong interest in clones.
“A clone can indeed enhance one’s ability to survive, but the only one that is suitable for me is a shadow clone. However, with my current understanding of the shadow, I am still not able to create a shadow clone.” Yang Qi said with a wry smile.
Although he wanted to have the means to create a clone, he disdained to use magic like blood identity. Shadow clone was a good choice, but his achievements in the shadow art had not yet reached the conditions for creating a clone.
Originally, Yang Qi's talent in the art of shadow was not that high. Although he had comprehended the art of shadow to the level of Tao, he did not try too hard to comprehend it afterwards. Therefore, his current art of shadow has not even reached the level of minor success, and he is simply unable to create a shadow clone.
"It seems that after reaching the peak of Martial King, I need to start comprehending the Path of Shadow." Yang Qi muttered to himself. (To be continued)
