Merging with Demon Spirits

Shadow Spirit!

During the days he spent in Pure Land, even though Lin Feng mostly hid in the library, he gained some understanding of the Celestial Kings and Apostles of Pure Land.

Even though it was just basic information about their abilities and combat styles, it was enough.

Pure Land’s 24 Apostles.

Including Lin Feng, there are currently only 20 members, leaving four positions vacant.

Among these twenty people, the fame of the "Cloning Master" Shadow Spirit is even greater than Kong Feng, although Kong Feng’s abilities are more feared.

Being bestowed the surname "Shadow" by the Shadow Celestial King is proof of his strength, and of the Shadow Celestial King’s recognition and favoritism.

Shadow Spirit has refined the "Shadow" Demon Spirit, which is ranked fifth on the Exotic Beast Chart. Within a certain range, he can clone others, including both appearance and abilities.

"Truly worthy of being an Apostle, each one’s abilities are more bizarre than the last."

Lin Feng observed the "himself" across from him, and couldn’t help but feel amazed inwardly.

It’s only in Pure Land that one can encounter so many Demon Fiends and freakish beings.

Lin Feng felt like he was looking into a mirror.

The reflection of him in the mirror—eyes, nose, mouth, every detail was the same. Now, they stood face to face, no more than twenty meters apart. Even Lin Feng himself couldn’t tell the difference, let alone anyone else.

Even his family would probably be confused if they saw.

This ability is really remarkable.

To be fortunate, the opponent could only clone over a short distance, and must have the object of cloning present to wield this ability.

If distance could be disregarded, it would be far too dangerous, allowing the opponent to directly replace others and assume everything about them.

"Even the voice as well?"

Lin Feng asked, with some curiosity.

"Take a guess?" Shadow Spirit responded.

Not only the voice, but even the tone was identical, creating a truly eerie feeling.

On the other side, upon seeing Shadow Spirit change into Lin Feng’s form, Celestial King Hai remarked in awe: "Third stage and already sending Shadow Spirit into the fray? Isn’t it a bit too early?"

These words clearly acknowledged Shadow Spirit’s strength.

"I know you have an Exquisite Fruit, you should know what I mean."

The Shadow Celestial King smiled at Celestial King Hai.

She had great confidence in Shadow Spirit’s strength.

In this battle, there was a high likelihood of winning. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be willing to wager the Demon-Companion Grass.

It’s both the Apostle’s debut and the Celestial King’s wager.

"Don’t celebrate too early."

Celestial King Hai chuckled softly.

In his eyes, the Exquisite Fruit was more precious than the Demon-Companion Grass, and it was indeed true.

However, since the Shadow Celestial King already spoke, if Lin Feng failed to clear the stage, he could only grit his teeth and comply.

"How is it early? It’s already the third stage."

Dream Celestial King said: "For other Apostles, it may seem early, but for Lin Feng, perhaps not."

"This time, Shadow Spirit might force Lin Feng to display that mysterious Demon Spirit." Beast Celestial King seemed interested.

Shadow Spirit’s cloning ability was strong enough to clone even them, although due to strength limitations, the potential unleashed was limited.

For Lin Feng of the Same Tier, there naturally was no issue.

As long as Lin Feng used that Demon Spirit’s ability, Shadow Spirit could clone it, even performing Demon Possession with it.

In terms of an Apostle’s combat power, Shadow Spirit wasn’t in the top five, but in terms of difficulty to deal with, he ranked in the top three.

Shadow Spirit could not only clone the opponent’s ability, his "Shadow" Demon Spirit could also absorb Soul Skills. The two aspects combined was one of the reasons he was hard to deal with.

"Accept or decline?"

Shadow Celestial King asked.

"I don’t care."

Celestial King Hai glanced toward Lin Feng’s direction, and Lin Feng responded with action.

Silver arcs of electricity flashed underfoot, Lin Feng’s figure transformed into a phantom, charging toward Shadow Spirit.

Shadow Spirit looked calmly at the explosively charging Lin Feng, silver arcs of electricity flickered underfoot, as his figure transformed into a phantom, equaling Lin Feng’s pace.

The two phantoms began chasing each other in mid-air, making it hard to distinguish who was who. During this, their bodies expanded, both almost simultaneously entering the Dragon Transformation state.

"I wonder if Brother Feng can win?"

Hong Yi asked with some concern.

He had great confidence in Lin Feng’s strength, but faced against Shadow Spirit, such a difficult opponent, his confidence wavered.

The stronger Lin Feng was, the stronger Shadow Spirit would be.

"The chances aren’t great. Shadow Spirit has been with Pure Land for a decade now. He not only possesses cloning abilities, but also knows the Shadow Celestial King’s Secret Skill." Qi Jin remarked.

"No matter who triumphs, this battle won’t come to a quick end."

Polona Segura commented, her gaze fixed on the fight.

In facing Lin Feng’s assault, Shadow Spirit continuously evaded, not eager to attack, patiently waiting for Lin Feng to deploy new Soul Skills and Martial Skills.

He aimed to clone these abilities one by one, then use Lin Feng’s combat system to defeat him.

Shadow Spirit’s abilities were well-suited for a sparring partner.

Of course, hiring him as a sparring partner required payment, and it wasn’t cheap.

Polona Segura had once hired Shadow Spirit as a sparring partner, but almost suffered a mental breakdown.

He wasn’t the most difficult opponent she had faced, but undoubtedly the most annoying.

A person identical to you in appearance could use your Soul Skills, Martial Skills, even your combat style at will. It felt like battling your own shadow.

And this shadow knew all about you, while you knew nothing about him. Fighting such an opponent was sheer torture.

She had a mental collapse at the time, then was easily defeated.

"Even Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques can be imitated!"

Lacking an advantage in speed, Lin Feng gradually halted, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Even the Divine Level Cultivation Technique "Fish Dragon Transformation" could be cloned, this cloning ability is somewhat against heaven!

Indeed worthy of being the fifth on the Exotic Beast Chart.

Lin Feng slightly opened his mouth, spitting out bubbles, the bubbles shimmered with the brilliance of mirror images, growing more numerous.

Shadow Spirit’s eyes flashed, similarly opened his mouth, spitting out a bubble, the bubble dazzling with mirroring brilliance, growing more numerous.

At this moment, half the sky was enveloped by bubbles, everything appeared so similar, even the rhythm of the bubbles multiplying.

"Boom!"

Roaring explosions sounded, scorching air waves surged. During this, each bubble transformed into Dragon Fish, silently appearing around Shadow Spirit.

"Going to deploy the Stand Soul Skill?"

Shadow Spirit gazed at the surrounding Dragon Fish, somewhat expectantly.

Altogether eight or nine Dragon Fish, such density of explosive attacks couldn’t harm him.

Lin Feng evidently intended to employ the "Stand" Soul Skill, also his primary combat method.

The Divine Level Soul Skill, Stand, was an ability everyone craved, even Shadow Spirit himself did not possess it.

Though he couldn’t own it, just cloning it for enjoyment wasn’t bad.

In the next moment, Lin Feng’s silhouette vanished from the original spot, appearing to Shadow Spirit’s left front.

"You have a misconception."

Lin Feng’s voice came, continuously swapping positions with bubbles, while Shadow Spirit flapped his Spiritual Power Wings, remaining airborne, eyes somewhat bewildered.

His cloning ability had failed!

He couldn’t clone the "Stand" Soul Skill, not even imitation was possible.

Clearly, previous Soul Skill cloning had succeeded, why did "Stand" fail?

Was it because of "Stand’s" excessively high level?

But didn’t he clone Divine Level Soul Skills before too!

"What’s wrong with Shadow Spirit?"

The audience wore puzzled expressions.

In their eyes, Shadow Spirit was in mid-air, looking bewildered, seemingly dazed, while Lin Feng wielded a Red Sword, weaving gracefully through the air, constantly flashing around Shadow Spirit.

One misstep leads to many.

Enclosed by Dragon Fish, even escaping became a luxury for Shadow Spirit.

With each flash from Lin Feng, Shadow Spirit gained another wound, as explosions resounded again, accompanied by Shadow Spirit dropping to the ground, signaling the battle’s end.

"What was the misconception you mentioned earlier?"

Shadow Spirit had reverted to his original form, propped himself up from the ruins.

His eyes were still filled with confusion and disbelief.

Knowing that he could clone even the Celestial King’s Soul Skills, why did he fail with Lin Feng?

Or perhaps not failed entirely, but only cloned partially.

"Haha."

Lin Feng chuckled softly, offering no explanation.

From start to finish, he hadn’t considered this battle as significant.

Can gods be cloned by mortals?

Even attempting imitation was blasphemy against the divine!
