After entering the barren mountain, Su Mo entered the space within the jade bracelet.
Then, he sat cross-legged on the ground. With a thought, You Tianhan's corpse appeared before him, landing flat on its back.
After calming himself for a moment, Su Mo began refining the clone.
With another thought, two Long Saber Battle Souls, one gold and one silver, rose from Su Mo's body, their sharp aura permeating the air.
These gold and silver Long Saber Battle Souls were precisely You Tianhan's Battle Souls. However, the other man's soul was no longer within them; they had become ownerless souls.
Su Mo was able to wield them because the two Battle Souls had already been refined by his Devouring Battle Soul.
However, to refine a clone, he still needed to fuse them with his own soul.
Su Mo closed his eyes. A moment later, he split off two wisps of his soul and fused them respectively into the two Battle Souls.
As the two wisps of soul separated, Su Mo's face immediately turned pale, even more severely than when he had refined clones in the past.
This was because he had already refined two clones. Each time inflicted damage upon his soul, and the accumulated injuries had become extremely severe.
Ghost Saint Yan Mo had taught him this method of splitting the soul. Using it once or twice caused no great harm, but repeated use was tremendously damaging.
