Sword Intent into Threads!
Break All Laws!
Countless black sword threads burst from the Spirit God's palm, dismantling it in an instant. The next moment, Shi Jianfeng stepped into the air, his body splitting into forty-two afterimages as he rose.
Previously, this move had only allowed him to create thirty-six afterimages.
Now, he had reached forty-two.
The instant the afterimages appeared, earth-shaking sword astral energy swept in every direction.
Everyone who saw this strike paled slightly, finding themselves completely enveloped by sword astral energy.
"Afterimages!"
"Be careful!"
The Astral Image Sect's elders looked solemn, but they were not overly worried.
It was not as though they had never seen illusion-like sword techniques before.
Most practitioners could only create a few or a dozen afterimages. More than forty, each seemingly indistinguishable from a real person, was something they had never seen or heard of.
However.
To these elders, even the most formidable illusion sword techniques had limited power.
Of the forty-two afterimages, only one was real.
The other forty-one were illusions meant to confuse the enemy.
They only needed to distinguish the real one from the fakes, and there would be little trouble.
Illusions.
Mere petty tricks.
But when they focused on the forty-two afterimages, their expressions changed again.
They could not tell which was real!
In their perception, all forty-two afterimages seemed real.
The Manifestation Realm elder roared in fury and summoned a mirror. Adorned with countless stars, it cast pale blue light over one afterimage after another.
The Star Mirror, a high-grade spirit weapon.
It could see through falsehood and dispel all illusions and deceptive obstructions.
Yet when the Star Mirror's light fell upon them, every afterimage remained as real as ever. None dissolved upon touching its light.
At this sight.
The elder's expression changed drastically.
An illusion immune
