What happened?
Nine years into the real world, Wang Hao, who was devising killing techniques within the Chaos Inner World, suddenly appeared in the Heaven Realm, looking up at the Nine Heavens above.
Although he had been in seclusion practicing his killing techniques, he had not forgotten to keep an eye on the Heavenly Dao above the Nine Heavens.
Just now, the aura of the Heavenly Dao above the Nine Heavens began to increase rapidly. It was not an increase in quantity, but a qualitative improvement, or rather, a transformation.
"We can't delay any longer!"
Knowing that the time for the final battle had arrived, Wang Hao disregarded the fact that he had not yet perfected his killing technique, and with a wave of his hand, the Primordial Wilderness Great Banner appeared in Yu Xin's hand.
Based on the Primordial Wilderness Great Banner, countless sub-bodies were Projection and integrated into the Chaos Heavenly Cycle Star Grand Array, becoming a supreme treasure of the Heaven Realm, much like the Six Paths Samsara Gate in the Nether Earth Realm.
After completing these tasks, Wang Hao swiftly ascended to the Nine Heavens.
I've been waiting for you for so long!
In the Nine Heavens World, the nine Azure Heaven beings opened their eyes, their divine light flashing, and the Nine Heavens Absolute Formation began to operate.
As the Nine Heavens Absolute Formation was activated, nine external avatars appeared behind the nine Azure Heaven Tian figures.
This is precisely the strongest technique of the Nine Heavens Absolute Formation, which can use the power of the formation to create nine external avatars with the same strength as the original body.
The incarnations of Azure Heaven were evolved from this, but unfortunately without the support of the Nine Heavens Absolute Formation, the combat power of the separated incarnations could only reach the Peak Heaven Tier at most, comparable to Heaven Tier experts who control Forbidden Power.
While it's still quite good, it's far inferior to the full combat power enhanced by the Nine Heavens Absolute Formation.
Currently, each of the nine Azure Heaven individuals possesses nine external avatars, totaling a formidable eighty-one heaven -Heaven-Defying Tier King Level combat power.
Not to mention that the nine members of Azure Heaven also possess pure Power of the Heavenly Dao within them, making their combat strength even more formidable.
"Don't blame us for ganging up on you; you're too strong, strong enough that even the Heavenly Dao takes you so seriously!"
Azure Heaven Tian spoke solemnly, even though he had unleashed the ultimate power of the Nine Heavens Absolute Formation, he still dared not underestimate this man in the slightest.
After all, this man is someone even the Heavenly Dao has to be wary of. Even if all Nine Heavens gathered together, they wouldn't have much confidence that they could stop him.
That's right, it was just an interception; there was absolutely no intention to kill the man.
It's not that I don't want to, it's that I dare not!
"No, I don't mind ganging up on the weak, but you seem to have misunderstood; you're not the ones with the numbers!"
"Smack!"
With a casual snap of his fingers, a black hole connected to his own Chaos Inner World appeared behind him, followed by thousands of figures rushing out from it, each displaying a terrifying aura of Heaven-Defying Tier power.
"This is the supreme martial art I created, 'He Transforms Freedom Great Technique), would you like to learn more?"
A smile appeared on Wang Hao's lips, but his focus was not on the nine people from the Azure Heaven before him, but on the increasingly powerful Heavenly Dao above the Nine Heavens.
Although he knew he absolutely could not allow the aura of the Heavenly Dao to continue to rise, he still calmed his mind and did not rush forward rashly.
He needed to observe the situation first. He was also very interested in the Power of the Heavenly Dao within the nine bodies of Azure Heaven. If he could seize it, he might be able to deduce the flaws in the Heavenly Dao from it.
So let's take down the nine Azure Heaven first!
Meanwhile, the nine members of the Azure Heaven opposite Wang Hao turned green as they looked at the thousands of figures behind him, especially the row of figures at the very front radiating an aura of Heaven-Defying King Level power.
"No, you are not Dugu Baitian! None of you are them. Is this what you call the He Transforms Freedom Great Technique?"
Soon, Azure Heaven realized that the thousands of figures were not the powerful enemies he knew, but merely similar, yet fundamentally different.
He had fought against many powerful figures from the ancient times, whether they were from the side of the Archaic Gods or the ancient behemoths exiled to the Third Realm. He knew them all very well, so he was certain that they were not the same people from back then.
He then recalled what Wang Hao had just said about the He Transforms Freedom Great Technique, and was immediately filled with horror.
Is there any secret technique in the world that can enslave—no, replicate— Heaven-Defying Tier powerhouse?
"Go! Kill them!"
He snapped his fingers again with a flourish, and thousands of clones behind him immediately rushed forward, ganging up on the nine members of Azure Heaven and their avatars.
"Hmph! Some trash dares to challenge our Nine Heavens Absolute Formation overconfident!"
Cang Tian let out a cold snort, showing his disdain for the thousands of figures.
The fact that the experts at the previous Heaven-Defying Level incredibly powerful was shocking, as they held an absolute numerical advantage, outnumbering their side by more than tenfold.
Even among the experts at the Heaven-Defying Tier, there are different levels, from beginner to intermediate to top level, and finally to the King Rank. The combat power between each level differs by at least double.
In other words, a Heaven -Heaven-Defying Tier King Level expert can contend with at least eight Heaven-Defying Tier Initial Level experts, and a stronger one can contend with even more.
Although there are many over a thousand Heaven -Heaven-Defying Tier experts, most of them are only at the Heaven-Defying Tier Initial Level Realm and are not worth mentioning.
Their avatars alone could easily sweep them aside, not to mention that their Nine Heavens true bodies also possess pure Power of the Heavenly Dao, enabling them to unleash combat power far exceeding that of Heaven-Defying Tier King Level.
So, although there were many enemies on the other side, they were nothing more than clay chickens and earthen dogs to them.
The eight members of the Azure Heaven also calmed down, having absolute confidence that they could quickly kill those thousands of Heaven-Defying Tier experts. The only thing they needed to worry about was Wang Hao's true form.
Unfortunately, in the next instant they realized they were wrong, terribly wrong.
As soon as Wang Hao's thousands of clones clashed with the external avatars of the Nine Azure Heaven, he destroyed nearly half of them, and the remaining external avatars were also in grave danger.
This scene nearly made the eyes of the Azure Heaven Tian members pop out of their sockets, their faces filled with disbelief.
"That's impossible!"
"How is this possible?"
A series of incredulous growls rang out, and the nine members of the Azure Heaven felt like they were going crazy.
Their avatars have clearly increased their combat power to the same level as their main bodies. Except for the Power of the Heavenly Dao, which they cannot use, all their methods can be fully unleashed. They are truly Heaven-Defying Tier King Level combat power.
But instead of the scene they had envisioned of sweeping away the enemy, they were instead pushed back by the enemy.
How could that man's clones be so powerful, possessing combat strength far exceeding his own level?
This isn't some kind of mystical art!
"You really think my Freedom Clone only has the fighting power of the original one?!"
Seeing the shock of the nine Azure Heaven members, Wang Hao chuckled coldly.
That's right, his Freedom Clone is based on the setting of the strongest ultimate technique of the Emperor Huang Tian in Dong Ge's Perfect World.
He didn't know how the Emperor Huang Tian had created his He Transforms Freedom Great Technique. Leaving aside whether the Perfect World truly existed in the myriad realms, even if it did exist and its destiny trajectory Projection into Dong Ge's mind.
Unfortunately, before his transmigration, he had only skimmed through Perfect World, so he was unaware of many things, only knowing a general outline of the story and who the final boss was.
Therefore, he only referenced some of the settings of the He Transforms Freedom Great Technique and combined them with many inheritances from the Tomb of the Gods World to create a knock-off.
He cannot conjure those powerful beings out of thin air; he needs the essence of those powerful beings as a guide. Furthermore, the initially differentiated Freedom Clone are extremely weak and require time and sufficient resources to cultivate.
These Freedom Clone are now replicated based on the Archaic Gods of the Third Realm and Dugu Baitian's side, including those who are at the Heaven-Defying Tier and some who are capable of advancing to the Heaven-Defying Tier.
Because of time constraints, I have only been able to raise my cultivation level to the peak level of the original texts, and I haven't had the chance to go any further yet.
However, in addition to this, the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods True Spirits that Wang Hao separated also carried the benefit of the Nine Revolutions of Samsara Technique, which allowed these Freedom Clone to possess ten times the foundational combat power of Dugu Baitian and others.
This is precisely why they were able to completely overwhelm the external avatars of the Nine Azure Heaven People.
"Do it!"
Once he came to his senses, Azure Heaven let out a clear whistle and launched his divine power to attack the numerous Freedom Clone. Cang Tian and the others, who had also reacted, followed suit and attacked.
They must not allow those Freedom Clone clones to wipe out their external avatars, otherwise they would truly have no power to resist.
"Your opponent is me!"
" Heavenly Emperor Fist!"
With a flash, Wang Hao blocked Nine Heavens's path and unleashed a punch—the Heavenly Emperor Fist, a killing technique he had created.
Although the deduction is not yet fully perfect, it is sufficient to deal with the Nine Azure Heaven People.
With a single strike of the Heavenly Emperor Fist, the fist imprint Shrouding the Heavens the sky and the sun. It not only shattered the supernatural power unleashed by the nine people from the Azure Heaven Sky, but also continued its relentless attack on them. Furthermore, it sealed off the surrounding spacetime and suppressed the Cause and Effect of fate, leaving them with no way to dodge and only able to withstand the attack head-on.
Faced with the overwhelming, Shrouding the Heavens fist imprint, the nine members of the Azure Heaven were horrified and hurriedly unleashed the Power of the Heavenly Dao within their bodies once more.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Emperor Fist created by Wang Hao was too Tyrannical Dao, shattering the power of the Azure Heaven Tian people once again and then suppressing them completely.
But just as Wang Hao was about to crush the nine people and study the Power of the Heavenly Dao within them, a strange fluctuation came from the Nine Heavens above, and the nine people of Azure Heaven who were suppressed by the fist imprint mysteriously disappeared.
"Are they afraid I'll study the Power of the Heavenly Dao within them? Or is there some other conspiracy?"
Looking up at the Nine Heavens, Wang Hao frowned deeply.
It must have been the Heavenly Dao that rescued the nine Azure Heaven people and also recovered the Power of the Heavenly Dao that had dissipated from the scene.
After a moment's thought, Wang Hao retrieved his thousands of Freedom Clone Avatars back into the Chaos Inner World. He then perfectly merged the Freedom Avatars in the Freedom Clone Chaos Inner World with the other Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods True Spirit Avatars, reaching his current peak state.
With so much powerful energy flowing into him, Wang Hao's cultivation level skyrocketed, reaching the Heaven-Defying Tier King Level in the blink of an eye, then approaching the Heavenly Dao Realm, and finally barely reaching the Half-Step Heavenly Dao Realm.
Although it's far from the fusion of the three thousand true spirit clones after they fully matured and transformed into Freedom Clone as envisioned, this is all that can be done for now. At least it gives us the power to fight against the Heavenly Dao.
After gaining perfect control over his own power, Wang Hao decisively rushed into the Nine Heavens. What came into view was a large sphere of light, but this sphere of light was much smaller than the Heavenly Dao sphere in Dugu Baitian's memory.
He had previously refined Dugu Baitian's cultivation body and Inner World, and naturally also obtained Dugu Baitian's memories. In the ancient war, Dugu Baitian had once ascended to the Nine Heavens and seen the true form of the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao's true form is now much smaller than what Dugu Baitian saw, but its aura is even more terrifying.
"Fortunately, I haven't truly reached the Heavenly Dao Realm!"
Sensing that the aura of the celestial sphere was still at the Half-Step Heavenly Dao Realm, Wang Hao felt slightly relieved.
Although Half-Step Heavenly Dao Realm possesses some of the power of the Heavenly Dao Realm, they are still significantly weaker than a true Heavenly Dao Realm —it's a fundamental difference.
If the Heavenly Dao were to truly ascend to the Heavenly Dao Realm, he would definitely self-destruct, seizing the opportunity for the system to take his true spirit away, return to the Primordial Main World, and abandon this instance world.
There's no way around it; the difference in strength between the Half-Step Heavenly Dao Realm and a true Heavenly Dao Realm is too great. Even if he's using cheat codes, he has absolutely no hope of defeating him. He'd be lucky if he could even escape successfully.
Fortunately, the Tomb of Gods Heavenly Dao had not truly broken through to the Heavenly Dao Realm; he was still a little short, which gave him an opportunity.
