The First Clone Formed

After killing the Lord of Xuanshi Kingdom, Qin Cang had his father, mother, Marquis Yanxing, and the others return to their own God Kingdoms.

As the joint No. 1 on the assassination lists of the Demon Race, Bug Race, and Machine Race, one could never be too careful. Beyond guarding against attempts on his own life, it was even more critical to protect his loved ones from the three races.

The Yan God Clan possessed a bellicose nature. Unlike the family of Luo Feng in the original story—who, aside from Luo Hai, rarely even left Earth, leaving alien assassins with no opening and forcing them to focus solely on Luo Feng—Qin Cang's parents were not the type to sit still. In fact, no one in the entire Yan God Clan was. Deep within their genes were militant tendencies; even Marquis Yanxing had made frequent trips to the Outer-Region Battlefield. However, the old man was cautious and preferred picking on the weak, which was how he had survived until now.

Even regarding the killing of the Lord of Xuanshi Kingdom, Marquis Yanxing had actually possessed the individual strength to do so after Qin Cang brought back higher-grade treasures for the family. Yet, he had chosen not to, opting instead to overwhelm the enemy with numbers, prioritizing safety above all else.

Qin Cang felt both gratified and helpless about this. It was good that his parents and ancestors were ambitious, but the threat of alien assassination constantly loomed over him and his family.

There was no other way; he had to keep them confined for the time being. It would only be for a few tens of thousands of years. If they truly felt the itch to fight, the Killing Field in the Virtual Universe would suffice for now. Even for practical combat, they could spar within the God Kingdom, where three Marquis-level experts acting as training partners were more than enough to improve their strength at this stage.

If that still wasn't enough, they could go to the Nine Yan Secret Region. There were many Marquis-level experts there, and with the Lord of Nine Yan guarding the region, there was absolutely no possibility of a successful assassination unless a Universe Knight was dispatched.

However, the three races were not so extravagant as to send a Universe Knight to assassinate the parents of a genius.

Chaos City, the residence of Blood Blade King.

Nearly thirty years had passed since Marquis Yanxing sent word of the successful kill of the Lord of Xuanshi Kingdom, and Qin Cang had spent over two thousand years cultivating in Chaos City.

Today, Qin Cang did not go to comprehend laws, nor did he practice any secret techniques.

After all, he could sense that the birth of his first clone was imminent.

Within Qin Cang's internal world, on an endless grassland, a massive, blood-colored giant cocoon floated silently in the sky, constantly absorbing the power of the internal world to perfect itself.

As time passed, the cocoon began to crack. Qin Cang held his breath in anticipation. Finally, with a crisp snap, the cocoon shattered, and a monster with a dragon's head, a human body, and a serpent's tail emerged!

The Sky Canopy Python had the form of a winged snake-man. Its upper body was human-like, with skin like dark purple-gold glaze covered in fine, intricate scale patterns. Its lower body was a thick, powerful python torso, its scales shimmering with the luster of stars. It possessed a dragon's head topped with a nine-horned Sky Canopy divine crown, where Dao patterns flowed and natural pressure radiated.

Its golden vertical pupils held a restrained brilliance, and its expression was cold and majestic. Two pairs of void divine wings spread from its back, wreathed in spatial light. Its overall posture was tall and noble, possessing both the cunning sharpness of a serpent and an indescribable, vast aura.

"To be born at the ninth stage of the World Lord level, with a life gene level as high as 5,000 times, a body length exceeding 60,000 kilometers, and three innate secret techniques—it truly deserves to be called the only special life form in the universe." Qin Cang sensed the information regarding the Sky Canopy Python.

Even among the royal families of the Demon Race, many possessed innate secret techniques, let alone a super life form like the Sky Canopy Python. The rarer and more powerful the being, and the higher the gene level, the more formidable their innate secret techniques would be.

Of course, the clone innate secret technique was an exception; its upper and lower limits depended entirely on how one utilized it.

"This Sky Canopy Python has three innate secret techniques, and its affinity for origin laws is surprisingly high." Qin Cang's face lit up with joy; he hadn't been this happy in a long time.

In his perception, the Sky Canopy Python possessed three major innate secret techniques:

First, Heavenly Prison.

Second, Devour.

Third, Teleportation.

Among them, the first innate secret technique, Heavenly Prison, was a domain-type technique. The secret patterns on its endless scales would unfold, forming a domain covering a radius of ten million kilometers to suppress enemies. Furthermore, the higher its cultivation and the deeper its comprehension of laws, the more terrifying the suppression of the Heavenly Prison would become.

The second innate secret technique, Devour, was exactly as the name suggested. When the Sky Canopy Python's divine power was insufficient, it could activate the secret patterns on the nine crowns atop its head to distort the surrounding space-time, devouring all energy within that space-time to restore its own divine power.

The third innate secret technique, Teleportation, was precisely one of the three branches of the space laws. The Sky Canopy Python was born with the ability to teleport. Even without fully comprehending the Teleportation branch, it could teleport a distance of one light-year. Once it reached the Undying stage, its teleportation distance could even rival that of a Universe Knight!

"It truly is a super life form. Aside from Teleportation becoming somewhat redundant in the later stages, the other two innate secret techniques are extremely powerful, equivalent to having a built-in domain-type treasure and an origin-type treasure. Moreover, because of the Teleportation innate secret technique, the Sky Canopy Python has an extremely high compatibility with space laws, which is of great benefit to my comprehension of them." Qin Cang was extremely satisfied with his first clone.

"From now on, I shall call this first clone the Crowned Python Clone." Qin Cang set the name for his first clone.

After a clone was born, the most important thing was to arm it.

Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast clone had originally been equipped with over-spec armor like the General Armor and King Armor, and its secret techniques were inherited from the memories of past Golden Horned Beasts—even its amplification technique, the True Body of Heaven and Earth, could be cultivated to a 36-fold amplification.

As for his Crowned Python Clone, aside from its gene multiplier, massive divine body, and three innate secret techniques, it had nothing else.

Now, if he wanted the Crowned Python Clone to quickly form combat power, the most important things were secret techniques, weapons, armor, and amplification.

As for secret techniques, the Space-Time Essays, Black Hole Evolution, and the self-created techniques that his Yan God Clan true body practiced were sufficient for the Crowned Python Clone at its current stage.

Regarding weapons, Qin Cang naturally preferred spears. The Crowned Python Clone was also a snake-humanoid, so it could likewise use a spear as its primary weapon in the future.

Then, finally, there was the crucial matter of armor and amplification. As the saying went, one should address survival before fighting. The remaining one billion points he had were meant for the Crowned Python Clone.

The issue of armor could wait until the end. After all, with such a massive divine body, its inherent defensive power was already outrageous. At this stage, the most important thing was amplification.

"Currently, the Crowned Python Clone's gene multiplier is as high as 5,000 times, allowing it to hold its own against most Marquis-level experts. Relying on its innate secret techniques, it can even contend with King-level powerhouses. My Yan God Clan divine body has practiced the amplification technique Blazing Flame True Body, reaching the first level of two-fold amplification. The Crowned Python Clone should be able to master this technique quickly. At that point, a full-force strike will reach 10,000 times the power of a World Lord, reaching the threshold of a King-level expert. But for me, that is not enough." Qin Cang pondered.

As a World Lord of the Primal Secret Region, after so many years of cultivation, Qin Cang knew that some amplification techniques could be stacked.

The Blazing Flame True Body technique could be stacked with other amplification techniques, as it primarily tested one's comprehension of laws.

However, some amplification techniques could not only be improved through law comprehension but also through spending money. The effects after spending money could be stacked with the amplification cultivated through law comprehension, allowing one to achieve higher amplification and deal greater damage.

He just didn't know how much he could achieve with one billion points.
