Here, I Am Heaven
Boom!
Su Zhan's fist struck the barrier.
The aftershocks of the lightning and fire exploded to both sides, shattering several Spirit Stone bases on the ground. However, the black barrier only caved in a few inches and did not break.
"I have some strength."
The voice of the Clones came from behind the barrier.
"But that's not enough."
The barrier suddenly rebounded!
An impact of equal force was bounced back intact.
Su Zhan's body was thrown several feet by the recoil. His feet plowed two deep furrows in the ground before he could barely stop.
[Immovable Wisdom King Wall]: This guy's defense method is flawed! It's not using its own power, but the Spatial Principle of the Grotto-Heaven Core. All physical attacks within this space will be deflected!
Su Zhan shook his hand.
The throbbing pain in my knuckles felt very real.
This Clones has already bound itself to the Grotto-Heaven Core. Within this enclosed spherical space, it is essentially the ruler of this world.
Any attack will be bounced back by the "world" itself.
It's like conquering the entire world.
"Interesting."
Su Zhan took two steps back, not rushing forward again.
The Clones didn't rush to pursue; it simply hovered in the darkness, looking down at Su Zhan.
"Here, I am Heaven."
"Your fire, I can extinguish."
The Clones flicked its finger.
The Glazed True Fire surrounding Su Zhan suddenly dimmed. The flames convulsed twice in the air, as if something had choked them.
[Blazing Dragon Venerate]: Damn! It's suppressing the Fire Principle! It can locally modify the Principle parameters in this space!
"Your lightning, I can dispel."
The Clones its finger again.
The purple-gold electric arcs that were moving along Su Zhan's shoulder crackled twice, flickering on and off as if they had short-circuited.
[Nine Heavens Divine Lightning]: It's interfering with electromagnetic resonance frequencies! Found it; it's doing so through the Black Chains on the heart-shaped sphere!
"I can pierce your shield."
The Clones's tone became increasingly composed.
Three fingers flicked the surface of Su Zhan's body three times, and visible cracks appeared on the dark golden membrane.
"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Bring them all out." "I have plenty of time to dismantle them slowly."
Su Zhan took three blows, but his expression didn't change at all.
But his mind was already racing.
The true Combat Power of this Clones is not as exaggerated as that of Martial King Fifth Layer. It may only be around Martial King Third Level, and its extra Combat Power comes entirely from its binding with the Grotto-Heaven Core.
In other words--
Its strength is not due to its own inherent strength.
It was "borrowed".
The solution is quite simple.
Cut off its "borrowing".
The problem lies in the Black Chains that bind the sphere at the Grotto-Heaven Heart.
As long as those chains remain, the Clones can absorb the Power of Principle of the cave without limit.
"Thousand-Thread Lock."
Su Zhan called out names in his Sea of Consciousness.
[Shadow Thousand Silk Lock]: In.
How many of those Black Chains were there?
[Shadow Thousand Silk Lock]: Seventeen threads. Each one is anchored to a Principle node at the Grotto-Heaven Core. The laws are metal, wood, water, fire, earth, Wind Thunder, darkness, light, and space, as well as seven secondary Principle.
How many can you cut?
[Shadow Thousand Silk Lock]: If it doesn't interfere with me, I can cut three or four threads. If it interferes... I might not be able to cut any at all.
Three or four are not enough.
Su Zhan needed a window that would prevent his Clones from paying attention to Thousand-Thread Lock.
A window large enough to capture the Clones's full attention.
He shared his thoughts in his Sea of Consciousness, and the Chat Group immediately became lively.
[Blazing Dragon Venerate]: Simple! I'll go and fight it head-on! Although the fire will be suppressed, it can't kill me. We can go back and forth for dozens of rounds without any problem.
[Nine Heavens Divine Lightning]: A direct confrontation is too stupid. You're going to bear the force of its rebound yourself? You should harass it with speed so that it can't keep up.
[Immovable Wisdom King Wall]: I'll be responsible for blocking its counterattacks, creating opportunities for you to deal damage.
[The Myriad Poisons Divine Farmer's Canon]: It can modify Principle parameters, but it cannot modify "poison." Because poison is not a basic Principle, but a composite effect. Its automatic defense mechanism cannot recognize me.
Su Zhan's thoughts suddenly became clear.
"The old poisoner is right."
"It can suppress fire, dispel lightning, and shatter shields because these are all based on a single Principle. It directly modifies the parameters of the corresponding Principle through the Grotto-Heaven Core."
