Demon Ancestor Clone, Yibao Shows Her Might

Wu Chu's body shone brightly, and golden Merit Runes spread out layer upon layer.

Of course, this wasn't some kind of 'Great Sun Golden Bell Shield,' but rather Merit Protective Restriction bestowed upon him by Yibao. He withstood it with remarkable ease.

Even though this spell contained demonic energy, it couldn't easily corrode the Merit Runes that Yibao had laid out. Of course, some loss of Merit was inevitable.

As Yibao's owner, Wu Chu could clearly sense that Yibao, the Phone Sprite, was currently heartbroken and cursing over the Merit that had been eroded by demonic energy.

But this also directly proves that Yibao is actually very powerful.

"I'm angry! I want him dead!"

Yibao's roar echoed in Wu Chu's Consciousness Sea. She was a woman who had been provoked to the point of losing her mind and was now recklessly using her methods.

Two Merit Rune Divine Chain, like sharp arrows, extended from Wu Chu's arms, instantly piercing through the darkness and the Heavenly Centipede. With lightning speed, they appeared before the Tianmu Daoist, aiming straight for his forehead.

At this critical moment, a vertical eye suddenly opened between the eyebrows of the Tianmu Daoist, and a wisp of black energy transformed into a sharp arrow, shooting out from the vertical eye and crashing into the golden arrow.

The Tianmu Daoist suddenly let out a strange, cackling laugh. "It truly is the aura of Merit Supreme Treasure. It wasn't in vain that I went to such lengths. Young one, are you interested in following me? I can grant you immortality, eternal life, and allow you to dominate this world..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu immediately realized that Tianmu Daoist was finished; he had completely transformed into the form of the Demon Ancestor. These were clearly not words that Tianmu Daoist would say.

"Yibao, come back!" Wu Chu called out from the shadows.

Now that the Demon Ancestor Clone has descended, the only option left is to prioritize self-preservation.

Yibao retreated and placed several more layers of Runic Divine Chain on Wu Chu's body.

Wu Chu wondered to himself, "Can it be defended against?"

Yibao hummed in agreement, then said with a hint of arrogance, "It should be fine. I bumped into him just now, and that demonic energy didn't seem like a big deal. I'm confident."

Wu Chu's lips twitched slightly. He ignored whether Yibao was getting arrogant and just silently stared at the Tianmu Daoist who had transformed into the shape of Demon Ancestor, cursing under his breath.

The Demon Ancestor has actually set his sights on him; it looks like he's doomed! He's already been developing so cautiously, how could he possibly provoke such a ruthless person?

While cursing under his breath, Wu Chu, encouraged by Yibao, calmly gave the other party a "hehe" and then said, "It seems you are not the Tianmu Daoist. Who exactly are you? State your name and let me see what makes you worthy of my following."

"Have you heard of me, Luohou?"

"I've heard a little about you, but I don't know where you practice or what path you follow."

"Ignorant brat, you've never even heard of my name. It seems I must teach you a lesson today, so you'll know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is."

Wu Chu hadn't expected this Demon Lord to be so concerned with his reputation, actually wanting to fight him over a mere disagreement. He had originally wanted to hear how the Demon Ancestor described the Devil Dao he cultivated!

"Wait a minute!" Wu Chu raised his hand, gesturing to stop him. "I want to ask, since your cultivation path contradicts the Merit Power, what use is this Merit Spiritual Treasure?"

Although the Demon Ancestor already knew, and even stated directly that Wu Chu possessed Merit Supreme Treasure, Wu Chu still refused to admit it.

Tianmu Daoist chuckled strangely, "Merit- based items are indeed useless to me, but anything that can pose a threat to me should not remain in this world, understand?"

Wu Chu thought to himself, "Yibao, we're going to have to fight this hard. Are you ready?"

"Yes, it's done! He wanted to ruin me? Dream on!"

Even the usually unreliable Yibao is now really determined.

Wu Chu nodded slowly. "I understand. So, go die!"

As Wu Chu uttered "Go to hell," Yibao suddenly erupted, and Merit Rune Divine Chain shot out like tentacles toward Tianmu Daoist.

Tianmu Daoist snorted coldly, and raging demonic flames soared into the sky, transforming into a massive black sword that slashed down at the Merit Divine Chains with the force of creation.

Upon seeing the massive, jet-black sword, Wu Chu felt there was nowhere to hide. It was as if this single strike could cleave his vast Purple Jade Mountain into pieces, making him feel death was imminent. However, the arrow was already on the bowstring... no, the arrow had already left the bowstring, and there was no turning back.

Countless Merit Divine Chains coalesced into a giant wave, crashing towards the great sword. The wave actually withstood the Sharpness of the black sword, making Wu Chu realize once again how much he and Yibao had underestimated the power of the Merit Supreme Treasure.

Although this Demon Ancestor is only an avatar, he still possesses the cultivation level of the Daluo Realm!

Even if this clone doesn't have the cultivation level of the Daluo Realm, his understanding of the Devil Dao and his use of demonic energy must still surpass that of the Daluo Realm.

And yet, Yibao actually managed to block it. If they weren't still fighting, Wu Chu would have shouted, "Yibao is awesome!"

As the giant wave of Merit Runes -black greatsword, several Merit Rune Divine Chain separated from the Tianmu Daoist and rushed towards Tianmu Daoist. They circled around Tianmu Daoist's body, creating a complex Runic Divine Chain that seemed to be trying to weave a net around him.

The Demon Ancestor Clone seemed to realize the Merit Divine Chains's plan. The great black sword trembled slightly and split into countless black sword energies, densely packed like a fine drizzle, carrying a whistling sound as they bypassed the giant wave of Merit Runes and swept towards Wu Chu with the gale.

Attacking where they must defend is likely the plan of the Demon Ancestor Clone.

Fortunately, Wu Chu had more and more confidence in Yibao and did not panic. He calmly clasped his hands together and shouted, "Great Sun Golden Bell Shield!"

Wu Chu's figure was too small compared to the dense, black rain, so the rain condensed into a torrent and shot towards Wu Chu.

Whew whiff whiff whiff...

Ripples spread across the golden rune covering Wu Chu's body.

"Yibao, can you hold on? Should I activate the Purple Jade Mountain Grand Formation to help you?"

Wu Chu knew that Yibao was consuming her Merit Power when she made her move. Although he didn't know exactly how much Merit Power this little vixen had secretly saved, he was sure that it would eventually run out.

"Master, rest assured, my Merit are being depleted, and so is his demonic energy. I... I'll wear him down." The woman, now driven to madness, was reckless. "It's best not to activate the Mountain Protection Array now, lest the defenses fail and that Demon Lord exploits a loophole."

After all, Tianmu Daoist was only corrupted, not the source of the corruption. Even if he could absorb demonic energy from the outside, he couldn't keep up with the pace of consumption.

Yibao is very confident about this.

Seeing Yibao's confidence, Wu Chu breathed a slight sigh of relief. However, he felt that after this battle, they might have to start their Wandering Plan ahead of schedule.

Just then, a voice came from afar, "May I ask if this is Purple Jade Mountain? I Houtu, and I have come to pay a visit as instructed by Fellow Daoist Nuwa. May I ask who you are, Fellow Daoist?"
