Nine Extremes Soul Clone Technique

Shi Fen entered the Treasure Refining World.

Just as he stood steady and saw his location, Shi Fen was stunned. "Why was I forcibly teleported here? I didn't choose the black disc."

Shi Fen looked around, confused, and thought to himself, "Nothing has changed here either."

Shi Fen was in the exact spot where he had originally discovered the small transparent box; there were ten sets of strange, unexplained silver items here.

While he was still trying to make sense of the situation, all ten Silver Watermelons floated up. In front of Shi Fen, a mass of silver scales rolled across the surfaces of the watermelons, blooming like flowers and slowly revealing what was inside.

The original silver shells vanished completely, leaving only a mass of colorless liquid silently floating in the air, churning incessantly.

It seemed to be waiting for something.

The ten sets of silver items whose purpose Shi Fen did not know almost all floated up, blooming in the air in unison as their silver shells disappeared, revealing various objects inside.

The suddenly appearing items included gaseous clouds, liquids, and solids. They were colorful and varied in appearance.

They either tumbled or rotated in the air.

Gathered together in the sky, the Treasure Refining World had never been this lively.

Shi Fen watched them change in the air, full of curiosity: "I wonder what Yi is up to this time."

Of the original ten sets of items, only ten Silver Cubes and ten silver long shafts that looked somewhat like ancient "Cloth Patterns" remained. Everything else had shed its shell and was floating in the air.

The surprise did not keep Shi Fen waiting for long.

The items that had floated up later rushed one after another into the colorless liquid that had appeared within the Silver Watermelons. The colorless liquid began to boil, a vortex appearing in its center that pulverized the incoming items and assimilated them into the liquid.

In a very short time, all the items fused into ten masses of crimson liquid, silently rotating in the air like ten blood vortexes.

Standing close by, he could almost smell the scent of blood.

"Why are they different sizes?" Shi Fen had clearly seen that before the mixing, the various items were all the same size, but after the complete fusion, they were now different.

"They're changing again!"

The vortexes began to shrink, and large amounts of crimson liquid were sucked into their centers, gradually becoming masses of Crimson Blood Beads that were countless times smaller in volume. The blood beads were a deep red, and if one looked closely, one could see faint traces of multicolored light revealing themselves within.

There were nine large Crimson Blood Beads and one small one.

The large ones were about the size of ping-pong balls, while the small one was about the size of a quail egg.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Without any warning, the ten blood beads violently accelerated, rushing toward Shi Fen's head. The speed was so great that Shi Fen had no time to dodge. As the ten blood beads surged into his head, Shi Fen felt no discomfort at all; instead, he felt incredibly comfortable.

"Ah."

Shi Fen couldn't help but let out a moan of pleasure. While still reeling from the shock, the sudden sensation of comfort caused his mind to sway violently, leading to a momentary lapse in his mental defenses.

Shi Fen hurriedly used his consciousness to inspect his Sea of Consciousness.

After the smallest blood bead rushed into his mind, it instantly melted, combining with his golden Sea of Consciousness and his body. The volume of the golden Sea of Consciousness surged, and his body underwent a deep-level evolution.

The rapidly expanding golden Sea of Consciousness forced his mind to expand at high speed. Like a balloon being inflated, the volume of the golden Sea of Consciousness increased countless times over in an instant.

The violent expansion of the Sea of Consciousness did not bring Shi Fen any discomfort.

Before the blood bead touched the Sea of Consciousness, it had first made contact with his physical body. His body evolved a step ahead, providing ample room for the expansion of the Sea of Consciousness. If an ordinary person were to increase their Spiritual Force ocean so violently, their head would likely have exploded instantly, turning into a shattered, rotten watermelon.

The blood bead merged into his physical body, enhancing it in a way that was difficult to comprehend. Shi Fen could not feel an increase in raw strength, yet he could clearly sense that his body was improving. As for what exactly was being improved, Shi Fen did not know; he would need to verify it later.

This method of improvement was extremely comfortable. Because of this comfort, the tension in Shi Fen's mind, caused by the strange changes, relaxed slightly.

The strange changes in his mind originated from the nine larger blood beads.

These nine blood beads were different from the small one.

They seemed to be wrapped in a layer of special energy, and after drilling into the Sea of Consciousness, they did not consume a single bit of energy.

Their target was clear.

They were aiming for the nine Golden Crystal Spheres in his Sea of Consciousness, which had evolved from the Dark Golden Spheres. The nine blood beads collided and combined with the nine Golden Crystal Spheres, and upon contact, they immediately transformed into masses of blood that glowed with golden light and churned violently.

The blood masses born from this combination reacted more and more intensely, their volumes rapidly expanding. After reaching a diameter of about one meter, the blood masses would squeeze and contract inward bit by bit until they reached their limit, only to expand outward again until they reached their volume limit, then compress once more...

In a short time, this cycle repeated several times, with no sign of stopping.

Shi Fen had never understood what the Golden Crystal Spheres were actually for, and today, he was finally going to uncover the mystery. Shi Fen felt both nervous and excited.

"What on earth are they? They couldn't possibly be innate talents, could they?"

Shi Fen boldly predicted in his heart.

"If they are innate talents, then I've hit the jackpot. They must be innate talents, they must be..." Shi Fen watched the blood masses in his mind with his consciousness, silently praying with anticipation.

When the blood masses had contracted and expanded exactly one hundred times, they transformed into flesh-like balls with a "meaty" texture.

Just as Shi Fen was filled with anticipation, the flesh balls were pulled by an invisible force, suddenly disappearing from his Sea of Consciousness and "jumping" into the outside world.

A terrifying scene unfolded.

Shi Fen's physical evolution had already been completely finished, but the expansion of his Sea of Consciousness was still continuing, as if it had no end. His attention had been entirely on the blood masses in his mind, and upon discovering they had vanished, he immediately opened his eyes and saw a shocking sight.

The nine flesh balls were rapidly transforming into nine embryos in the air. Looking through the transparent, thin walls of the flesh balls, one could see the embryos growing into human shapes at a speed visible to the naked eye. Once they became human-shaped, their growth rate became even more intense.

From the infant stage, they rapidly developed into the toddler stage, then the childhood stage, the adolescent stage, the youth stage...

When he reached the infant stage of growth, Shi Fen suddenly sensed nine threads of consciousness connecting him, as if the nine embryos before him were all himself.

"Cough, cough, cough..." A sentence stuck in Shi Fen's throat; his face flushed red, and he was too excited to speak.

After a long while, he finally managed to open his mouth, stammering in disbelief, "Are these... nine clones of mine???"

Shi Fen was struck with shock.

The nine embryos fully developed and took shape, their membranes dissipating. Nine naked Shi Fen clones slowly descended to the ground, standing there in a daze. These nine clones were identical to the current Shi Fen, with not a single difference in appearance or physique from his original body.

As the nine clones landed, the consciousness of Shi Fen's original body connected perfectly and naturally with the consciousness of the nine clones. The nine clones opened their eyes in an instant, mirroring the look of shock on the original's face.

The scene was a bit eerie, and perhaps a little comical...

"This..."

"This..."

All ten bodies spoke, their voices ringing out in unison.

Amidst the chorus of his own voice, Shi Fen's original body immediately snapped to his senses, excitedly focusing his attention to take control of the situation.

Possessing Spiritual Force that exceeded the limits of the Apprentice level, and having long since grown accustomed to the sensation of splitting his consciousness, Shi Fen quickly adapted to the nine new clones, perfectly controlling all ten consciousnesses.

In the process of mastering his consciousness and bodies, a sudden surprise gave Shi Fen another start.

Ten silver scrolls, resembling ancient "cloth patterns," began to hover and fly on their own, merging into the bodies of Shi Fen's original self and his clones. The Black God Set within the original body was "kicked out" by the silver scrolls, which then dominated his form, transforming into a set of ancient, dignified, and rustic attire.

At the same time, a message from Yi was transmitted into Shi Fen's consciousness, allowing him to understand the origin of the nine clones.

Shi Fen's nine new clones were finally spared the embarrassment of being stark naked.

This long scroll was called Ten Thousand Clothes, a special defensive treasure.

Ten Thousand Clothes not only possessed defensive capabilities but could also change its form. By controlling it through consciousness, it could shift into any shape, manifesting all kinds of complete outfits at will. Hats, tops, bottoms, shoes, and full sets of battle armor could all be realistically conjured!

There was nothing it couldn't do, only things you couldn't imagine.

Such flashy transformations came with a price.

The defensive capability of Ten Thousand Clothes was quite peculiar; its strength depended entirely on the user's own energy level. Simply put, the stronger the user, the stronger its defense.

If an ordinary person used it, a common knife could pierce the clothing; while the Ten Thousand Clothes itself would not be damaged, the person inside would certainly not survive.

It truly lived up to the saying:

Don't fear the ten thousand, fear the "Ten Thousand Clothes."

Regarding this, Shi Fen was absolutely delighted. To him, this "flaw" was the best possible advantage.

Shi Fen was confident that he could easily become a Venerable, a Master of the Universe, and with a little effort, becoming a True God would not be difficult. If he pushed himself a bit more, even breaking through the cycle of reincarnation would be within reach.

By then, these Ten Thousand Clothes would be supreme treasures, peak supreme treasures...

Yi had prepared Ten Thousand Clothes for Shi Fen; it was the defensive equipment best suited to his talent.

"Ten future peak supreme treasures—this is simply incredible!"

The source of Shi Fen's confidence also lay in these ten brand-new clones. His ten clones were a special ability called the Nine Extremes Soul Clone Technique.

The Nine Extremes Soul Clone Technique was an ability granted by Shi Fen's unique soul. Under normal circumstances, Shi Fen would only have the ability to condense clones through his own strength once he became a powerhouse in the Primordial Universe.

Yi had used heaven-defying power to assist Shi Fen.

He had condensed the Nine Extremes Soul Clones ahead of schedule and even added a little "extra" for Shi Fen. This "extra" caused his Sea of Consciousness to undergo a fusion, expanding crazily.

When the Sea of Consciousness expanded to the size of a world, each clone would condense a heaven-defying Origin Core.

The heaven-defying Origin Core would grant abilities even more heaven-defying than the Nine Extremes Soul Clone Technique itself!

According to Yi's description.

Become an Origin Core!

Become the foundation!

The "foundation" of the Foundation Trial was truly worthy of its name!
