Myriad Self, Unshaken

Facing the giant bear charging at him, Fang Yuan's expression grew slightly more serious.

Zhao Wuji was a Soul Saint who specialized in Strength Path. Once he activated his Martial Soul Avatar, the pressure he exerted on his opponent would be tremendous.

Yet against Fang Yuan, he had activated his Martial Soul Avatar right from the start. Clearly, he intended to end this quickly.

Although Fang Yuan's Soul Power had reached level eighty, he had yet to obtain his eighth Soul Ring, so he was still considered to be at the Soul Saint level.

Zhao Wuji was also a Soul Saint. If he went all out, his aura was faintly stronger than Fang Yuan's.

Moreover, Fang Yuan's opponent was not Zhao Wuji alone.

Behind the brilliant golden giant bear, Soul Saint Flender and Soul Emperors Li Yusong and Lu Qibin had all completed their Martial Soul Possession.

Flender, also a Soul Saint, wasted no words and activated his Martial Soul Avatar as well.

His tall, thin body transformed into an enormous owl. Spreading wings five meters wide, he soared into the sky.

Faced with the joint assault of two Soul Saints and two Soul Emperors, Fang Yuan remained where he was, his feet not shifting in the slightest.

His clear voice rang through the field. "Since you know you're in the wrong, are you planning to gang up on me? That saves us some time. If the four of you can make me move even half a step, I'll count it as my loss."

The words reached Zhao Wuji and the others' ears, instantly turning their faces red.

This kid was far too arrogant!

Fang Yuan clasped his hands behind his back. Beneath his feet, seven Soul Rings rose—two yellow, two purple, and three black.

The fifth and seventh Soul Rings among them radiated dazzling light.

As the light flickered, Zhao Wuji saw Fang Yuan's figure rush toward him.

"Hm? Didn't he say he wouldn't move even half a step?"

A trace of confusion arose in Zhao Wuji's bear mind.

But after activating his Martial Soul Avatar, fueled by surging battle intent, he could not be bothered to think about such things.

The other side dared to charge at him? Perfect! He only needed to unleash all his strength and tear him apart!

The Mighty Vajra Bear Zhao Wuji had transformed into let out a roar, and its two bear paws slammed toward Fang Yuan.

Yet Fang Yuan, standing before Zhao Wuji, neither dodged nor evaded. He raised his long hands and met Zhao Wuji's bear paws head-on.

Two dull thuds rang out. Zhao Wuji's body trembled, while Fang Yuan took two steps back. In pure strength, the Mighty Vajra Bear Zhao Wuji had become was undoubtedly superior.

Seeing that he had gained the advantage, Zhao Wuji could not help but rejoice inwardly. This kid is only so-so after all.

He roared again and lunged forward. Fang Yuan chose to continue meeting him head-on.

After exchanging several moves, Zhao Wuji held a faint advantage, but unease began to rise in his heart.

"Boss, Lu Qibin, Li Yusong, why aren't you coming over yet? Did you see that I have the upper hand and decide you don't want to gang up on him?"

Judging by the current situation, he had already secured a victory over this young man in terms of strength. If Flender and the others swarmed in, they could tear the youth apart in an instant.

Yet after fighting for so long, he was still facing this young man one-on-one.

Zhao Wuji turned back in confusion, but that single glance made his expression change drastically.

Behind him, Flender, Lu Qibin, and Li Yusong were not standing by with folded arms as he had imagined. They were all fighting.

He had clearly tied down Fang Yuan, so who were they fighting?

The scene before him reflected in Zhao Wuji's eyes, leaving his mind somewhat dazed.

Flender and the others' opponent was actually Fang Yuan as well!

Three Fang Yuans were entangled in battle around Flender. Whenever owl-form Flender tried to fly higher into the air, the Fang Yuans around him interfered.

Lu Qibin and Li Yusong each had two Fang Yuans around them as well. They were only Soul Emperors to begin with, and under Fang Yuan's simple punches and kicks, they were already struggling to cope, on the verge of defeat.

What was going on? Where had so many Fang Yuans come from?

Before Zhao Wuji could react, several figures rushed at him.

They were all Fang Yuan!

Each of them possessed nearly the same strength, all only slightly weaker than the Mighty Vajra Bear in terms of power.

Zhao Wuji was fine against one, but now he faced three at once. The situation immediately turned unfavorable.

Alarmed and enraged, Zhao Wuji stole a sideways glance during a break in the battle toward where Fang Yuan had originally been standing.

Fang Yuan was still standing with his hands behind his back, without having moved even the slightest bit.

Only, as the black Soul Ring on Fang Yuan rose and fell, one Fang Yuan figure after another continuously appeared and charged into the battles around them.

Fifth Soul Skill, Myriad Self!

Fang Yuan's fifth Soul Skill was the immortal killer move he had created entirely by himself in his previous life. It combined the individual might of Strength Path with the vast army formations of Enslavement Path. It pioneered Enslavement-Strength Fusion, using one's own strength as the foundation to achieve the ingenious concept of enslaving oneself.

Later, he simplified this proudest killer move of his and refined it into an Immortal Gu called Myriad Self Immortal Gu.

And the fifth Soul Skill of Fang Yuan's Sovereign Immortal Fetus Martial Soul was Myriad Self.

Once activated, this move seemed endless, producing an unceasing stream of Myriad Self phantoms.

Each of these Fang Yuan phantoms wore a different expression and could speak. They could form formations among themselves and cooperate with one another.

The phantoms did not possess Fang Yuan's other Soul Skills, and their attack methods were simple. However, they were highly intelligent and utterly fearless of sacrifice.

Individually, each possessed only a fraction of Fang Yuan's original strength, but once their numbers piled up, the combat power they could form was terrifying beyond compare!

Naturally, Zhao Wuji knew none of this, but the Fang Yuan phantoms before him were already enough for him to sense the power of this move.

The Mighty Vajra Bear he had transformed into roared repeatedly, its bear paws striking without pause as it occasionally unleashed Soul Skills.

However, the Myriad Self phantoms facing him all possessed close-combat abilities near the Soul Saint level. Their coordination was flawless, producing an effect far greater than one plus one.

After a fierce battle, Zhao Wuji's expression had become extremely ugly. With his Soul Skills being thrown about wildly and his Martial Soul Avatar constantly maintained, his Soul Power was rapidly draining away.

By now, he could barely continue.

Yet the Myriad Self phantoms he faced seemed to possess inexhaustible energy. Even now, they remained at their peak condition.

Bang!

After a dull impact, one Myriad Self phantom landed a heavy punch on Zhao Wuji's bear face. Stars immediately flashed before his eyes, and his movements slowed for a moment.

The other Myriad Self phantoms coordinated with perfect understanding, seizing the opportunity to rain fists and kicks upon Zhao Wuji's bear body with all their strength.

With a thud, Zhao Wuji's Martial Soul Avatar was forcibly dispersed. He spat out blood and collapsed onto the ground.

Behind him, Flender, Lu Qibin, and Li Yusong had long since been beaten to the ground as well.

Flender, sprawled on the ground, forced himself upright. Looking at Fang Yuan, who had remained standing in place since the battle began without changing his posture in the slightest, he could not help sinking into profound self-doubt.
