Many years ago, Chen Qing was a microcosm of him. Many people suspected that Chen Qing was the King of Qin, and many people were wary of Chen Qing. The King of Qin did not mind this, because it proved that even if he had disappeared for twenty years, even if the Xiao Household had established the country for twenty years, his shadow was still everywhere in this world. The world had been peaceful for the past twenty years because of him!
But in recent years, when people talk about the King of Qin, they are referring to Chen Qing. Perhaps no one remembers him anymore.
Even he admitted that Chen Qing, relying on the Divine Path Style, created a prosperous world that he himself could not have created at the time.
However, this was not because he was more capable, but because he possessed intelligence that others lacked. This guy went from being ordinary to successful, and even became a powerful figure in just a few years, all thanks to his superior intelligence.
What if we don't have an intelligence advantage?
"Come and try it," the King of Qin's voice came from among the countless Prism, carrying a heavy, retrospective tone, as if everything around him had become a cliff under his folding.
"Under the same conditions and using the same technique, if only one of us can survive, who will it be?"
"Under the same conditions?" Chen Qing struggled to maintain the technique on his pupils, the feeling of them about to burst growing stronger, but he knew he couldn't rush things and patiently tried to find weaknesses in the other party's intelligence.
"Don't you feel guilty saying that? How many years ago did you start practicing this forbidden art? How long have I been practicing it?"
"I don't have more experience than you," King of Qin replied patiently to Chen Qing. " The Four Perils ' techniques come at a great cost, and I won't use them except in extreme circumstances. I came out of the Demonic Void Realm, hid in this world for many years, and eventually parasitized a young man from a decent family. Then, when I almost ended the chaotic world, I used them a total of three times. This includes the Time Scale I used to save Ziyue just now and the Time Stop Magic Formation I used later in conjunction with you."
"In other words, strictly speaking, I've only used its forbidden technique once."
Chen Qing was speechless. He didn't think the other party would lie to him about something like this. Besides, the logic made sense. The Four Perils ' techniques were meant to be used sparingly, as each technique had a trap.
For example, the one I'm using right now.
The Heavenly Demon Wheel is one of the ultimate forbidden techniques that combines space and matter. It uses the principles of the technique to artificially create black holes. At close range, this forbidden technique can even strip away the Two Aspects, making it an extremely terrifying technique.
However, its drawbacks are also obvious.
That is, the more elements you absorb, the greater the mental burden on you. The feeling of countless substances being drawn into your eyes will cause you mental pressure that makes you feel like you're about to burst. While you are consuming mental energy to control your technique, you must stay awake at all times and not be overwhelmed by the pain. Otherwise, once you lose consciousness, you will turn into an uncontrollable black hole, drawing all the surrounding matter into the black hole!
The extent of destruction depends on your mental limit. If a King Level sorcerer were to use this spell, it could almost destroy the entire Jiangnan if it went out of control. Matter drawn into the black hole would be transformed into concentrated essence, which would then be collected as nourishment by the true master of the spell, the Four Perils Golem. The caster would be reduced to ashes, becoming a tool for creating a black hole.
This is the Demonic Void Realm. Even if I lose control, it won't affect the world. The reason Chen Qing used this technique is because it has the strongest destructive power and is the easiest to use unexpectedly.
If he hesitated even for a moment, he would have no chance to resist.
As it turns out, this guy is indeed a decisive person. He had almost absorbed the chief guard and was about to succeed, but at this critical moment, he actually gave up without hesitation. He is truly a character. It seems that his rise to power is not simply due to the information about the Reincarnator.
"With your intelligence, you should recognize this technique, right?" King of Qin spoke again, his voice echoing around, as if hundreds of King of Qin were speaking.
Chen Qing's power shattered countless mirrors, but the opponent could regenerate countless mirrors again, seemingly endless.
Forbidden Technique: Thousand Illusions!
Despite the increasing burden, Chen Qing still managed to recall the other party's technique from his memories.
One of the eight forbidden techniques wielded by the Four Perils Golem, the ultimate spatial technique!
This is not ordinary space folding, but a true use of space distortion to create refraction. The energy generated will also multiply as the number of mirrors increases. Once it reaches a certain scale, any spell released by the opponent in that Refracting Mirror will be magnified a hundredfold or even a thousandfold!
If he were to unleash that much energy, I would be instantly burst apart; it is a technique that is quite effective against the Heavenly Demon Wheel.
However, that technique is also very risky. The reflection of you in the folded space also carries consciousness, which is equivalent to your shadow. But not all shadows will willingly disappear after the technique is completed. The more powerful a person is, the smarter they are, and the smarter a person is, the less willing they will be to accept it. The folded shadow inherits your personality, so the more you fold, the more people will want to replace you. If you are not careful, the caster will be backfired!
The backlash of shadows is rootless; once the spell ends, it turns into energy. To avoid dying, the shadows will try every means to maintain the spell's existence. Then, the mirror image will continuously fold, merging all living things it sees into the mirror. Every sorcerer with spiritual power who is merged into it can extend the spell's duration until the spell has nothing left to devour!
This technique is extremely prone to causing a mirror demon crisis, which was one of the disasters when Chen Qing designed the fourth version.
Upon seeing this technique, Chen Qing knew that his opponent was competing with him to see who could last the longest.
By amplifying the power of the Heavenly Demon Wheel, the pressure on the individual will increase exponentially, potentially leading to their own demise. Meanwhile, the opposing side, under the pressure of their own spell, will have the shadows within the Prism desperately helping to maintain the spell, stacking up relentlessly, leaving them no time to rebel.
If he were to unleash the power of the Lesser Heavenly Demon Wheel, the opponent's Prism would rapidly form thousands or even tens of thousands of faces due to the lack of suppression. At that time, with just one spell, he and Ziyue would be facing the energy release of a hundred or even a thousand King Level sorcerers. Chen Qing didn't even dare to imagine such a scene.
To tough it out or take a gamble?
Chen Qing's mind raced. Both of them were at the Great Perfection Below King, with identical setups, only their chosen techniques differed. Victory depended entirely on their reactions. Just as the other had said, this was probably the fairest duel yet.
He was faced with only two paths: either persist with the Heavenly Demon Wheel and recklessly amplify its power, gambling that the opponent would not dare to continue multiplying or that the rate of multiplication could not keep up with the rate at which his Heavenly Demon Wheel devoured it; but in doing so, he was very likely to get lost in the technique, and if he lost control of himself, he would turn into a black hole.
Either cancel the spell, because the opponent already has hundreds or thousands of shadows in the mirror, and they are still multiplying infinitely. If there is no external threat, they may rebel instantly!
At that time, he was too busy to take care of himself, which gave me the opportunity to kill him.
But doing so would be tantamount to laying down one's weapons, leaving one powerless to resist if the other side were to gain control of the situation!
How to choose?
