A hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye since I last stayed in Skyfall City.
Jason has been alternating between cultivation and arena battles during this time. Although the population of Skyfall City has decreased sharply during this period, those who remain, whether Midgod or Highgod, are all outstanding individuals. By sparring with these opponents, Jason's strength has greatly increased.
While the Lightning Element has not grasped any new Profound Mysteries, the three elements of Lightning Element, Lightning Flash, and Conduction of Electricity have begun to merge. The Lightning Element Lightning Element starting to merge with Lightning Strike, and with the Electromagnetism Profound Mysteries.
Jason, who lived in the city, had no external pressure and no motivation to fully develop the five Profound Mysteries, so he focused his energy on the fusion of profound Profound Mysteries and the introduction of new Profound Mysteries.
It's difficult to define progress in terms of the Edicts of Death. According to the description of "abilities," Jason has already mastered "Corrosion," "Final Destination," "Soul Possession," "Withering," "Soulfire," and "Power of Death." According to the description of "points and lines," Jason has comprehended five nodes.
Jason could sense that his Edicts of Death were much weaker than those of Lightning Element and Water Element, which directly manifested in his low combat power. However, Jason also felt that his Death Clone was very close to the threshold of becoming Highgod. He didn't need to spend time on Profound Mysteries fusion, so he would naturally reach the threshold of Highgod much faster than the other five clones.
The advancement of the Four Edicts depends on the judgment of the will of heaven and earth, and Jason also finds it difficult to determine exactly how much he is lacking.
(It took Linley about two thousand years to break through to the Highgod, but his usual combat and the Fusion Profound Mysteries his Earth Element Clone took up a lot of his time.)
Of all Jason's clones, the one that progressed the fastest in comprehension was actually the Water Element. With the clones sharing what they saw and heard in the Netherworld, the Water Clone had a series of sudden enlightenments, comprehending five of the six Profound Mystery of Roundness Profound Mysteries: the Elemental Essence of Water, Water Body Technique, Reflection, the Profound Mysteries of Ice, and roundness and softness. Moreover, except for the Reflection and the Profound Mysteries of Ice, and the Reflection and Profound Mystery of Roundness, which have not yet begun to merge, the others have already had the opportunity to merge.
Jason had no clue about the Mysteries of Mist, so he decided not to wait any longer. He would first fully integrate the Water Body Technique and the Profound Mystery of Roundness Technique to reach the level of Midgod. Linley's birth was approaching, and if things continued as in the original story, the next two hundred years would be extremely dangerous for the Yulan Continent. Even if Linley wasn't born, the Necropolis of the Gods was about to open, and Jason felt that Beirut would probably give him a spot. He needed to prepare as soon as possible.
The Destruction Clone is still Lowgod. He has been making progress over the years, but his comprehension speed is very slow. First of all, Jason's destruction talent is only average. Secondly, the Edicts of Destruction require constant battles, but for Deity-level being, Jason's battle frequency is not high.
The same applies to his Life Clone; Jason's talent for life is only average, even slightly weaker than his talent for destruction.
Jason's Life Clone have played a crucial role in nurturing the Blue Jade Fruit Tree, and Bloodshadow Valley now boasts seven mature Blue Jade Fruit Tree. Due to the sharp decline in the number of members in the Rhine Clan's Saint-level, the demand for Blue Jade Fruit has decreased dramatically, resulting in Jason having more than enough Blue Jade Fruit to use.
Jason now consumes Blue Jade Fruit without any regard for conservation, whenever any of his clones shows even the slightest inspiration. As a result, the progress of his four clones on the Yulan Continent has not slowed down at all despite being away from the Netherworld.
What surprised Jason most about the speed of progress was the speed at Fate Clone.
Jason was the last to formally enter the Edicts of Fate, but his progress was unexpectedly rapid. Moreover, he broke through to the Midgod decades ago, surpassing destruction and life. The Four Edicts are not about Profound Mysteries fusion, but Jason can judge from combat power that the strength of the Fate Clone is no weaker than that of the Death Clone.
However, the Fate Clone doesn't have that feeling of approaching the threshold of Highgod. It's probably because the rules it comprehended are stronger that gives the Fate Clone such power.
Jason is fighting in the ring once again, this time challenging Delisha, of course, her Lightning Clone.
Even using the domain of a high-level god, Theresa's lightning clone did not have an absolute overwhelming advantage against Jason's two mid-level god clones. The lightning clone, only at the initial stage of a five-star demon, was unable to defeat Jason for the time being.
Delisha's Lightning Clone excels in speed and physical attacks. According to her, after her Lightning Clone Refine Divine Spark, it was fortunate enough to inherit the part where Lightning Strike and Lightning Flash were completely fused together.
However, Delisha's speed is more evident in straight-line speed, and she is actually a step behind Jason in close-range combat.
With Lightning Element, Lightning Flash, and Conduction of Electricity fully integrated, Jason has now perfected the skill fused into the electric arcs and named it:
Arc Flash.
Jason's Arc Flash is slightly different from the move of that Five-Star Fiend from back then.
Because Lightning Element and Electromagnetism are partially fused, the electric arcs Jason unleashes possess a considerable electric field and a certain binding ability, which can be used for attack and trapping enemies. Of course, due to the nature of the electric arcs, they can also be interfered with by certain Profound Mysteries abilities. For example, Electromagnetism Profound Mysteries, which is also Lightning Element, can distort the electric arcs to some extent. Darkness Element devouring, Water Element Elemental Essence of Water, and Light Element Purification can all affect Jason's "Arc Flash" to varying degrees.
After an hour-long battle, Jason's five arcs of electricity were all severed, and he was then sent flying off the stage by Delisha's sword.
"You have the average strength of Four Star Fiend, and you don't have too many flaws in your soul," Delisha commented.
Delisha just used a soul attack, which, while not strong, was still at the average level of Four Star Fiend, but it had little effect on Jason.
After a hundred years, the ring battles have lost their former popularity, and few people watch the sparring matches between the two, so Jason has no more scruples.
"I plan to spend another two hundred years defeating your Lightning Clone!"
Delisha scoffed, "Hmph, then I plan to raise the power of my Death Clone to another level within two hundred years! Next time, I'll send both clones at once!"
Delisha's Death Clone refined her own divine Divine Spark, so of course she could still cultivate normally.
The siege of Skyfall City will likely continue for several thousand more years, during which time Jason will probably spend several thousand more years peacefully in the Netherworld.
