Chapter 2096: Creating a Clone
Between the Supreme Realm and the Creation Realm, there indeed lies a vast chasm.
After all, in between them, there is still the Transcendent Realm.
At this moment, Hades was sharing a room with Xiao Zheng. Under the oppressive aura of Xiao Zheng, she was already doing well to remain calm. What surprised her the most, however, was that under his oppressive presence, she actually vaguely felt like she was about to break through.
The phrase ’under pressure comes breakthrough’ truly isn’t wrong!
Hades dared to conclude that if she sat down to cultivate at this moment, she would certainly be able to use Xiao Zheng’s aura to hone herself and then break through into the Transcendent Realm. But compared to breaking through, she was more interested in watching how Xiao Zheng created things.
In the end, she forcibly suppressed the urge to cultivate and fixed her gaze firmly on Xiao Zheng.
At this moment, Xiao Zheng seemed to have reached a very critical point in time.
His expression gradually became solemn, and his aura kept increasing.
In a daze, Hades wondered if it was her illusion, but she saw a double image appearing on Xiao Zheng’s body, as if a second Xiao Zheng was splitting off from his body.
Could it be that Xiao Zheng could truly create a doppelgänger at the Half-step Creation stage?
Hades was quite shocked in her heart.
If Xiao Zheng could indeed succeed in creating a doppelgänger at the Half-step Creation stage, then the miracle he created would truly be unprecedented!
Because according to the records of the Bright Church, no one had ever been able to create their own doppelgänger at the Half-step Creation stage! Even those who truly reached the Creation Realm had to wait until their realm was stabilized to create a doppelgänger!
If Xiao Zheng could succeed today, then he undoubtedly created a miracle!
As for Hades, she would be a witness to this miracle!
As time passed, the doppelgänger behind Xiao Zheng became increasingly clear. It was exactly like him, from facial expressions to clothing, as if it was copied and pasted.
When the double image gradually materialized, Hades knew very well in her heart that he truly did it!
Xiao Zheng indeed succeeded in creating a doppelgänger at the Half-step Creation stage!
Hades felt excited, and even her breathing started to become a bit rapid!
Then, within just a minute, the terrifying aura released from Xiao Zheng receded like the tide. The quiet room returned to calm, yet the sight of two Xiao Zhengs meditating on the floor was still incredibly shocking!
"I succeeded!"
Xiao Zheng slowly opened his eyes and spoke excitedly.
When he saw the surprised face of Hades, he couldn’t help but feel even more excited inside.
Hearing his words, Hades finally came back to her senses and quickly couldn’t help but ask, "How are you feeling now? Is your connection with the doppelgänger close?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "My connection with the doppelgänger is very close; it’s like he’s a part of my body. I can control him effortlessly with just a thought."
Then, seemingly to prove his point, with just a thought, the doppelgänger silently disappeared from the quiet room. With another thought, the doppelgänger appeared again.
This wondrous scene caused a hint of amazement to flash in Hades’ eyes.
She never expected Xiao Zheng to be able to control his doppelgänger so effortlessly.
Xiao Zheng stood up and looked at his doppelgänger, and then his doppelgänger stood up with him. When the main body and the doppelgänger met each other’s gaze, the strange feeling made Xiao Zheng feel quite odd inside.
However, he quickly got used to it and said rather wistfully, "It’s a pity I can only condense one doppelgänger right now. I’ve heard that when I can condense ten doppelgängers, I can break through to a higher realm. Moreover, it seems like the maximum number of doppelgängers throughout history has been ten."
"I wonder if I can create a miracle and surpass this number when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, Hades spoke up, "Ten is the number of perfection; I think you might not be able to surpass this limit."
"We’ll see when the time comes. After all, I’m only at the Half-step Creation stage for now." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "Maybe when I reach the Creation Realm Peak, I can really create a miracle!"
Hades remained silent, which could be seen as neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"Let’s go, to the Martial Arts Arena to test the strength of my doppelgänger," Xiao Zheng said.
Hades was already impatient in her heart. Before his words even fell, she was already one step ahead, exiting the quiet room. The two quickly arrived at the Martial Arts Arena, and Xiao Zheng immediately summoned his doppelgänger.
He was getting more and more proficient in utilizing his doppelgänger.
After Xiao Zheng summoned the doppelgänger, it stood quietly by his side. If Xiao Zheng didn’t speak, even his closest person couldn’t distinguish who was the doppelgänger and who was the main body.
"How should we experiment next? Are you going to be the test subject, or should I spar with the doppelgänger myself?"
Xiao Zheng asked.
Hearing this, Hades replied without hesitation, "I’ll spar with your doppelgänger. It’s a good chance for me to see the gap in our current strengths."
"But my doppelgänger only possesses half of my strength." Xiao Zheng said somewhat helplessly.
Yet Hades seemed not to hear him, and directly walked to the center of the Martial Arts Arena. Seeing this, Xiao Zheng could only take a deep breath, preparing to command the doppelgänger in battle.
Quickly, he made a new discovery—the doppelgänger was fully equipped with his combat consciousness!
With just a thought, the doppelgänger charged towards Hades, attacking from extremely tricky angles, and wielded twin swords, blocking all of Hades’ escape routes!
Hades’ pupils suddenly contracted, feeling immense pressure in her heart!
Almost instinctively, she condensed a Vigorous Energy Shield and then threw a punch, intending to shatter the doppelgänger’s weapon. Yet, just as she punched, the doppelgänger flickered directly, suddenly appearing behind her!
One Slash!
Boom!
A tremendous explosion sounded throughout the Martial Arts Arena!
The Vigorous Energy Shield of Hades was shattered by a single slash from the doppelgänger, and the following enormous force sent her flying!
But it didn’t stop there; as Hades’ body was flung away, the doppelgänger attacked once more!
The doppelgänger’s speed was incredibly swift, leaving trails of afterimages in Xiao Zheng’s sight!
As the doppelgänger reached Hades and the twin swords were about to fall, Xiao Zheng hurriedly stopped the doppelgänger’s attack! If he didn’t intervene at this moment, Hades might have gotten hurt!
