Opportunity and Clone

Su Heng's memories returned to the time when he was a Domain Lord, just one member of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm.

According to the Virtual Universe Company's regulations, core members at the Domain Lord level were required to be assigned to a Universe Kingdom.

Su Heng was no exception, but instead of going to his home, the Noah Universe Kingdom, he went to another ancient kingdom, the Senluo Universe Kingdom.

During his tenure in the Senluo Universe Kingdom, he encountered many opportunities, the greatest of which was the chance to become a disciple of a Universe Hegemon!

Mother Ancestor, an ancient existence among humans, a Universe Hegemon, and the strongest practitioner among the fifty-two Chaos Tablets, the Mother Ancestor Chaos Tablet!

It's worth mentioning that during his time in Chaos City, Su Heng had chosen the Mother Ancestor Chaos Tablet, a Chaos Tablet that combined the Law of Wood and the Law of Space.

Becoming Mother Ancestor's disciple was both accidental and inevitable.

When Su Heng first arrived in this world, he had already considered many ways to reach the pinnacle.

And fusing laws was the path he ultimately took.

The Wood-Space Fusion Law! This was a supreme path that could lead to the Universe Lord.

Relying on his foresight and understanding of the plot, Su Heng finally grasped a trace of the fusion law's prototype within tens of thousands of years.

It was precisely this nascent form that allowed Mother Ancestor to see Su Heng's potential, take him as a disciple, and spare no expense in acquiring a clone secret technique for him.

Although he could only clone himself once, it was still incredibly precious!

Unfortunately, he ultimately failed to live up to Mother Ancestor's high expectations.

"However, the current me has an infinite future!" Su Heng chuckled lightly, then released his clone from his inner world.

It was a body over thirty meters tall, covered in silver scales, with four irregular horns on its head.

This was a special life form in the universe called the Four-Silver Clan, a favorite of the Law of Space, but its specialty was spatial lockdown and annihilation.

Its innate secret technique was Spatial Annihilation, which, in simple terms, was the manipulation of spatial power to inflict massive annihilation damage on enemies.

Moreover, depending on the level of understanding of the law, the damage from the innate secret technique would steadily increase.

"He even has a Four-Silver Clan clone? Fortunately, it's not a teleporting special life form," the Hundred Ape Marquis breathed a sigh of relief. If it had a teleporting innate secret technique, his current mission would have been a complete failure.

"Hong Tian!" the Hundred Ape Marquis launched his attack first, flashing his body and closing the distance of 300,000 kilometers in an instant.

The long staff in his hand, carrying the Law of Earth, struck the void. The dense divine power of the law directly shattered the surrounding cosmic space. In the face of the Hundred Ape Marquis, who was comparable to a King-level existence at this moment, cosmic space was simply too fragile.

Countless spatial fragments, carrying a massive staff shadow, appeared before Su Heng.

"Spatial Annihilation, Wanwu Jiemie!"

Su Heng and his clone made a swift decision.

The Four-Silver Clan clone first clenched its hands in the void towards the staff shadow. Instantly, the spatial fragments that had been surging towards them turned into fireworks, exploding on the spot.

The damage from these explosions slowly eroded the staff shadow formed by the law. Although the damage from each explosion was minuscule, space was nearly infinite!

Yet, even this nearly endless attack could not slow the staff shadow's speed in the slightest.

"Barely King-level?!" As soon as the Four-Silver Clan clone made its move, the Hundred Ape Marquis quickly assessed its strength.

"But that's about it. If I had gone all out before burning my divine power, I might not have been his match."

The Hundred Ape Marquis thought to himself. With his current 70,000 times Lord of the Realm power, how could a Marquis-level or barely King-level opponent stand against him?

"Boom!"

An intense explosion resounded through the void.

"How is this possible!" The Hundred Ape Marquis exclaimed in disbelief as he sensed the center of the attack.

There, suspended, was a plant resembling water grass. It was golden all over, lush, with a full three hundred vines.

In the center, enclosed by the vines, Su Heng and his Four-Silver Clan clone slowly appeared.

At this moment, Su Heng was grinning at the Hundred Ape Marquis!

"Bloom, Star-Eater!"

As soon as the words fell, it was as if a small tree had grown into a colossal giant. The golden Star-Eating Grass rapidly extended in all directions.

Each vine of the Star-Eating Grass grew thicker and longer at an astonishing rate. The edges of the countless sharp grass leaves were like sawteeth. In an instant, it transformed into a truly 'celestial body'-like existence.

Each main vine was hundreds of thousands of kilometers long, and on each main vine were countless grass leaves, used for entanglement and consumption.

Three hundred main vines... made the entire Immortal Star-Eating Grass no less than a giant star in size!

The three hundred vines of the Star-Eating Grass alone were comparable to a peak Marquis-level Immortal. And now, it was fully burning its immortal divine power. The immense aura made the Hundred Ape Marquis tremble slightly!

Worst of all, it was currently in the center of the Star-Eating Grass's bloom, meaning it was already surrounded by three hundred vines!

"Run!" With a thought, the Hundred Ape Marquis rapidly retreated towards the periphery, even as the Star-Eating Grass's vines attempted to block him.

They were all scattered by the long staff in his hand.

The difference in immortal divine power between a peak Marquis burning his power and it burning its power wasn't that significant. Even if it were forcibly annihilated, it wouldn't be able to annihilate its immortal body!

In the distance, Su Heng frowned slightly as he witnessed this scene.

After burning its divine power, the Star-Eating Grass had roughly 100,000 times the power of a Lord of the Realm, which was approximately equivalent to a peak King-level.

However, the Hundred Ape Marquis wasn't weak either. His 70,000 times Lord of the Realm power after burning his divine power, while inferior to the Star-Eating Grass, was still sufficient for survival.

Is he just going to let him go? Su Heng thought with some reluctance.

If his own strength or his clone's strength had deepened for another few thousand years, he would have had some confidence in keeping the other party here, even without relying on the Star-Eating Grass.

But for now...

"Forget it. Since I can't annihilate him, I should at least try to deplete his divine body as much as possible."

Rational thought quickly led Su Heng to a decision.

The Four-Silver Clone began to help the Star-Eating Grass attack the Hundred Ape Marquis. Even if they couldn't annihilate his divine body, the opponent was already in a state of burning divine power.

As long as they could delay him for one second, it would be enough for him to burn a significant amount of divine power!

Just like that, a full minute later, the Hundred Ape Marquis's figure finally disappeared from this void.

According to Su Heng's judgment, in just these two minutes of combat, the opponent's divine power had already been burned by 20%. His strength had likely dropped to the early Marquis-level.

It would take at least ten thousand years to fully recover.

Su Heng was somewhat satisfied with this result. Ten thousand years was enough for his strength to change drastically!
