Limitations of the Clone Under Universal Rules

Chaos City Lord took out the Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead, which radiated a dazzling brilliance, and handed it to Qin Cang.

"Release your Internal World and actively guide it," Chaos City Lord reminded him.

Hearing the City Lord's words, Qin Cang actively released his World Projection. Then, as the Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead made contact with the World Projection, an incredible transformation occurred.

The Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead shattered instantly, transforming into ten streams of light radiating the aura of laws that surged toward the edges of his Internal World. Wherever the light passed, the world became more solid, even reaching the boundaries of his Internal World in an instant.

Following that, the streams of light did not vanish but forcibly enveloped the Internal World, causing it to expand continuously—sixty million kilometers, seventy million kilometers—reaching one hundred million kilometers in the blink of an eye.

Furthermore, as the Internal World expanded, mountains, rivers, and oceans appeared one after another.

A brilliant curtain of light manifested out of thin air, connecting to the Origin Universe Land. Qin Cang's consciousness was drawn in by this curtain, sinking deep into the depths of the Origin Universe Land.

Qin Cang was no stranger to this situation; he had experienced something similar when he first broke through to the World Lord level. However, while this was similar to that breakthrough, it was also fundamentally different.

"Where am I?"

"I just absorbed the Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead, and my consciousness arrived here. And that is Chaos City Lord beside me. The only one capable of bringing me here silently in front of Chaos City Lord is the Origin Universe Will."

"So, this is the Origin Universe Land."

Qin Cang looked around blankly. He saw countless points of light drifting here, each radiating incredible power. Some were violent and savage, while others were as deep as an abyss. Clearly, the difference in the aura of these light points represented the different focuses of the lifeforms they nurtured.

Suddenly—

Whoosh!

One of the light points transformed into a stream of light and shot rapidly toward Qin Cang's consciousness. Its speed far exceeded the speed of light; here, the speed of light was no longer the limit.

"Clang!" Qin Cang's consciousness collided instantly with this point of light.

Images flooded into Qin Cang's consciousness: the birth, growth, and death of various lifeforms, as well as the birth, growth, and destruction of the universe...

Immediately, countless pieces of information merged into Qin Cang's consciousness.

"Bang!" Qin Cang's consciousness was kicked out of this space.

Primal Universe, Human Race territory, Primal Secret Region, Thousand Treasure River Territory, Chaos City Lord's private palace.

Qin Cang's consciousness slowly returned.

Chaos City Lord had no idea what Qin Cang had just experienced, though he could guess. As a Tier 5 Universe Master, it was normal for him to know some secrets.

Sitting cross-legged, Qin Cang slowly opened his eyes and began to examine himself.

"My Internal World has actually expanded to a diameter of six hundred million kilometers."

"Innate Secret Technique, Clone!"

Qin Cang was extremely pleasantly surprised. He had not expected the Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead to be so effective. It not only expanded his Internal World's diameter from sixty million kilometers to six hundred million kilometers—a tenfold increase in diameter, which meant a thousandfold increase in volume!

It could be said that with a World Projection of this six-hundred-million-kilometer diameter and his law comprehension at the 16th Level of the Sky Bridge, an ordinary Marquis would not be Qin Cang's match. However, he could only defeat them; he could not kill them, as the gap in divine power was still too great.

"Little guy, it seems you are very satisfied with this encounter," the voice of Chaos City Lord sounded in his ear.

"Reporting to the City Lord, not only has the diameter of my Internal World expanded to six hundred million kilometers, but I have also obtained the Clone Secret Technique bestowed by the Primal Universe, allowing me to nurture two major clones!" Qin Cang said with pleasant surprise. This was truly a massive gain.

"It seems your fortune is good, and it was an encounter I personally watched you obtain."

"Qin Cang, do you have any suitable targets for your clones?" the City Lord asked.

"I ask for the City Lord's guidance."

Hearing Qin Cang's words, Chaos City Lord understood that he was asking for materials. As a Tier 5 Universe Master, he indeed possessed several types of heaven-defying special lifeform materials. Moreover, such materials could generally not be nurtured by ordinary Clone Secret Techniques. Even for special races like the Golden Horned Beast that naturally possessed the Clone Secret Technique, when they reached the World Lord level, even if they pushed their Internal World to the limit, they could generally only nurture lifeforms with a life gene level of about a thousand times.

One must know that even for a Golden Horned Beast, expanding its Internal World to the limit only reached ninety-plus million kilometers, nearly one hundred million kilometers in diameter. Even Luo Feng, after nurturing the Nine Nether Sea clone, had to raise his life gene level to the perfect gene and undergo the baptism of the Origin Universe to break the limit; otherwise, he would not have failed to nurture the World Tree.

"Since that is the case, I will tell you about the limitations of the Clone Secret Technique."

"Many thanks to the City Lord for the clarification."

"Generally speaking, the Clone Secret Technique cannot nurture lifeforms with a life gene level exceeding one hundred times one's own. Of course, this applies to higher-level Clone Secret Techniques. Some heaven-defying special lifeforms, if they also possess the Clone Secret Technique, already have life levels hundreds of times higher themselves. If the hundredfold limit applied, wouldn't they be able to nurture clones with tens of thousands of times the level?"

"This is clearly impossible; the universe simply does not have such creatures. Therefore, their Clone Secret Techniques generally cannot exceed their own level, and they are often unable to nurture lifeforms with life gene levels exceeding one hundred or even ten times their own."

"This is the reason why those top Universe Overlords of our Human Race, after possessing heaven-defying special lifeforms, eventually nurtured human bodies as their clones."

"Your situation is different. You are the first in the history of our Human Race to obtain the Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead, and you have used it. Your life gene level is already as high as sixty times. If we go by the hundredfold limit, your clones could even nurture special lifeforms with genes as high as several thousand times. Those special lifeforms with life gene levels reaching a thousand times are almost unique in the universe."

"Of course, this is only theoretical. Just like the Golden Horned Beast's Clone Secret Technique, which theoretically can nurture clones with gene multiples as high as a thousand times, or the Demon Race's Two-Headed Demon Marten, which theoretically can nurture clones with life gene levels of six hundred times or higher, very few can actually reach the limit."

"Another factor that limits the level of clones is the Internal World. The nurturing of a clone relies on the Internal World to provide nutrients. If the world power is insufficient, it is naturally impossible to nurture a powerful clone. Therefore, those Golden Horned Beasts that can nurture clones near the theoretical limit are all those who have expanded their Internal World to the limit, thus nurturing clones with gene levels near a thousand times."

"Those Golden Horned Beasts with weak Internal Worlds naturally cannot nurture powerful clones."

"Your life gene level is sixty times, so theoretically, you can nurture clones with life gene levels as high as six thousand times. Originally, I was worried that your Internal World was too weak to provide enough nutrients. I did not expect this Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead to be so powerful, expanding your Internal World's diameter tenfold and its volume a thousandfold. In this way, the problem of nutrients is solved."

"Finally, the more powerful the clone and the more powerful the Internal World, the more difficult it is to break through to Immortal. Currently, your law comprehension from passing the World Lord Level Primal Sky Mountain is far from enough."

"Now, I have several types of special lifeform materials here. Tell me your choice."
