Houtu had just seen Lin Heng.
They have already shown clear hostility.
Before Lin Heng could speak, Houtu said directly:
" Lin Heng, it's very easy for you to get past me."
"Kill my clone."
With a cold voice, Houtu her hand, and a wisp of her spirit drifted out from her body.
The avatar, infused with Houtu's own powerful energy, instantly transformed into a miniature version of Houtu's avatar.
Judging from the aura, this Houtu clone's cultivation level was exactly at the Twelfth Grade Sovereign.
Houtu's clone is different from the clones Gou Mang created before.
At first glance, Gou Mang's clone had empty eyes; it was essentially a lifeless object.
However, Houtu's clone was created from her divided spirit.
It can be said that, apart from cultivation level, Houtu's clone is no different from Houtu herself.
As the clone took shape, Houtu's indifferent voice rang out.
" Lin Heng, the rules for my level are very simple."
"You killed my clone."
"Or perhaps he'll be killed by my clone."
"As long as one side still has a breath left, this battle is not over."
"By the way, I'm sure Dijiang has already told you about the inability to use Eternal Ages, right?"
"If you violate the rules, I will eliminate you immediately."
From Houtu's icy tone, it was clear that she wasn't joking.
Lin Heng saw that the other party showed no mercy whatsoever.
I simply couldn't be bothered to be polite anymore.
"If that's the case, then let's begin!"
"I'd also like to learn from Houtu, the guardian who possesses Origin of Earth and the Netherworld Origin."
Just how strong is their fighting power?
As Lin Heng finished speaking, Boundless Blood Sea was already in his grasp.
The rule is that "Eternal Ages) cannot be used.
However, this does not mean that weapons cannot be used.
Boundless Blood Sea, possessing a spirit artifact of the Cosmic Spirit Realm, is also capable of exerting considerable power in this battle.
Houtu glanced at the Boundless Blood Sea in Lin Heng's hand, said nothing, and then her figure became illusory, disappearing into the void.
Almost at the same time that Houtu disappeared.
Houtu's clone also made a move.
Houtu 'Houtu clone then began to dance with her hands.
The ground beneath Lin Heng's feet began to shift.
Before Lin Heng could react...
The Origin of Earth below rapidly condensed into an earth-yellow skull, which opened its mouth to swallow Lin Heng.
"Break!"
Lin Heng raised his right foot and stomped it hard on the ground.
The abundant Origin of Earth transformed into a storm that swept across the ground.
The earth storm devoured the skull like a whirlwind.
Their first encounter ended with Lin Heng gaining a slight advantage using his Origin of Earth.
It is worth mentioning--
Lin Heng spent hundreds of thousands of years inside the Time Treasure.
His cultivation level also increased again, reaching the Twelfth Grade Sovereign realm.
Both being Twelfth Grade Sovereign, the competition was simply a contest of the Power of Origin.
Lin Heng absolutely crushes cultivators of the same level.
Perhaps knowing this, Houtu's clone did not show any surprise after its first probing attack failed.
This initial assessment gave the two a general understanding of each other's abilities.
Houtu suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"With this level of strength, it's a real waste to have the eight fundamental sources on you."
"If your use of the Origin of Earth just now represents your understanding of the Power of Origin."
"Then I can only say that you are not worthy of possessing the eight Power of Origin, much less worthy of receiving your master's inheritance."
Lin Heng raised his head and smiled proudly, saying:
Whether I am worthy of Mu Chen's inheritance is not for you to decide.
As for whether you're worthy to say these words to me.
"Let's talk about it when you can beat me."
As Lin Heng uttered the last word, he raised his right hand and pulled it down.
" The Origin of Earth is entrapment!"
The ground beneath Houtu's avatar suddenly collapsed, revealing a deep, dark hole.
A violent suction force emanated from the black hole, and Houtu's clone was caught off guard and instantly sucked into it.
Just as she was about to fly out from underground.
Suddenly, a torrent of water gushed out from the huge pit she was in.
This sudden turn of events surprised Houtu's clone for a second.
At the same time, Lin Heng's loud shout came from above.
" The Origin of Wood is binding!"
Countless vines sprouted from the walls of the pit, tightly binding Houtu's clone.
Houtu's clone used the Netherworld Origin as a sharp blade and began to frantically cut the vines.
However, the Origin of Wood carries an inexhaustible life energy, allowing it to repair itself extremely quickly.
The speed at which the Netherworld Origin cuts is far slower than the speed at which the vines repair themselves.
Immediately afterward, Lin Heng made another move.
" The Origin of Water, condense!"
The temperature of the Origin of Water gushing from the pit dropped rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, it was midnight.
The water temperature is still dropping at an alarming rate.
The water inside the pit quickly froze into ice, and Houtu's clone was also frozen inside.
But Lin Heng understood that this alone was not enough to suppress Houtu's clone.
Take advantage of the brief moment when you have the opponent trapped.
Lin Heng Origin of Water in his left hand and the Origin of Wood in his right.
He raised the two Power of Origin high above his head, and they began to merge at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even Houtu's Houtu, hidden in the void, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at this scene.
In less than ten breaths, the two primal forces in Lin Heng's hands successfully merged.
Looking further into the pit...
The solidified ice was also beginning to show signs of cracking.
Clearly, the ice body could no longer contain Houtu's clone for too long.
Seeing this, Lin Heng also threw the two fused Power of Origin into the pit.
The water and wood elements intertwined, and after separating from Lin Heng's hand, they transformed into a palm-sized, two-colored energy that entered the pit.
Almost at the same time that the two-colored energy fell into the pit.
Houtu's clone also completely broke through the ice body.
But just then, the dual-color energy exploded with a deafening roar.
'Boom!'
The intense tremors shook the entire land.
Thick black smoke continued to billow out of the pit.
Lin Heng floated in mid-air, coldly observing the pit below.
After about several dozen breaths...
A dark shadow flew out of the pit.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Houtu's clone.
At this moment, however, her appearance was quite pitiful.
Not to mention their tattered clothes.
His body was covered in countless tiny scars.
Blood nearly stained her entire body.
It looked like a bloodied person.
After Houtu's clone emerged from the pit, it flew to the same height as Lin Heng in mid-air.
"You can combine two different sources to launch an attack."
"It truly exceeded my expectations."
"But unfortunately, with your abilities, this is the best you can do."
"If that attack had been just a little stronger..."
"This battle is over."
"Unfortunately, this is your limit, and you won't have another chance."
