Within Reach Yet Worlds Apart!
This was the defensive move Xiao Jiwen unleashed at this moment, founded upon the Earth Rule and imitating the spatial rule characteristics of the Xuan Yu Realm.
However, spatial rule characteristics belonged to the power of the Thirteenth Order. Xiao Jiwen, merely at Mid Twelfth Order, naturally could not comprehend them. Thus, if this move, Within Reach Yet Worlds Apart, were used within the Xuan Yu Realm, its effect would be no more than that of an ordinary Mid Twelfth Order technique.
But within the secret realm, because the spatial rules were not so tightly woven, this move, Within Reach Yet Worlds Apart, could instead wield the power of the Space Heavenly Dao.
At this moment, Xiao Jiwen appeared to be only several zhang away from Chen Fei, yet the space within the Heaven-Measuring Ruler had long been stretched across hundreds of thousands of miles. Any force that entered it would be drawn out and thereby weakened.
Relying on Within Reach Yet Worlds Apart, Xiao Jiwen had enough confidence to hold out until the Nether Abyss Formation broke the sword formation, even if the strength Chen Fei displayed was greater than his own.
His earlier attempt to drive Chen Fei away with words had stemmed more from caution than from any belief that he was bound to lose.
But now, as a new figure appeared behind Chen Fei, and the sword this figure unleashed carried a might no less than Chen Fei's—indeed, even a notch stronger—Xiao Jiwen's already turbulent state of mind nearly collapsed.
A clone?
A clone whose strength was nearly identical to the original body?
It was already outrageous enough that Chen Fei himself possessed such unreasonable combat power. Why could even his clone cultivate to such a degree?
