Qin Jue was certain that he had definitely not been affected by the illusion just now and had really killed the Eternal Night Emperor. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him not to have noticed.
Moreover, with the Eternal Night Emperorâs cultivation, it was impossible for him to condense an incarnation at the fifth realm of the Great Void Stage.
But why had the Eternal Night Emperor appeared before him unscathed?
Could it be that he had an immortal body just like the previous Sand Emperor?
âIf I tell you, will you guarantee not to kill me in the future?â
The Eternal Night Emperor asked carefully, afraid that Qin Jue would suddenly punch him.
Originally, he thought that he could seriously injure Qin Jue with a sneak attack, but he didnât expect it to backfire and injure him instead. It was only at this moment that he realized how big the gap between him and Qin Jue was.
âThis human is too terrifying.â
âYou have no right to negotiate with me now. You can either tell me or die.â
Qin Jue raised his finger and pointed it at the Eternal Night Emperor, as if he would attack if the other party hesitated for even a moment.
âNo, no, no. Iâll tell you.â
The Eternal Night Emperor was horrified. âItâs because of the cultivation technique I cultivate!â
âCultivation technique?â
Qin Jue was stunned and even more puzzled.
Wasnât the Eternal Night Emperor cultivating an evil cultivation technique?
âYeah.â
The Eternal Night Emperor looked at Qin Jue and explained, âThe Spirit Devouring Art is divided into five stages. One ability will be awakened at each stage. The ability at the fifth stage is⦠the Three Source Bodies.â
At this point, the Eternal Night Emperor secretly glanced at Qin Jue and continued, âAfter cultivating to the fifth stage, this body will be split and produce two incarnations with the same strength. The one you just killed was one of them.â
The so-called Three Source Bodies simply meant that the three bodies would derive their power from the same source.
In other words, the other two incarnations were almost identical to the original body. Each of them had 100% of the original bodyâs strength.
A cultivation technique was already considered top-notch if the produced incarnation could possess one-tenth of the original bodyâs strength. However, the Spirit Devouring Art could even create two incarnations of the same strength as the original body. It was simply unbelievable.
The reason why the Eternal Night Emperor had chosen to cultivate the Spirit Devouring Art back then was because of the various inconceivable abilities inside. In a sense, it was not inferior to the Immortal Divine Scripture that Long Zhen cultivated.
Unfortunately, the Eternal Night Emperorâs talent was limited, and he couldnât unleash the Spirit Devouring Art to its maximum potential. Otherwise, he would have been even stronger.
After hearing the Eternal Night Emperorâs words, Qin Jue suddenly understood and then revealed a thoughtful expression. âIn other words, youâre also an incarnation?â
The Eternal Night Emperorâs body stiffened when he heard this, and he could only brace himself and say, âThatâs right.â
Qin Jue was speechless. It turned out that from beginning to end, he had never seen the true body of the Eternal Night Emperor. The body Qin Jue had destroyed previously as well as the current body were all only incarnations.
âDonât kill me⦠I can bring you to my original body.â
Seeing Qin Jueâs gloomy face, the Eternal Night Emperor said fearfully, choosing to betray his original body without hesitation.
Qin Jue: â???â
Wasnât he an incarnation of himself?
An incarnation is capable of betrayal?
As everyone knew, the sentience of the incarnation usually came fr om the original body. No matter what happened, the incarnation was not supposed to betray the original body. So what was going on now?
However, what Qin Jue didnât know was that because the Eternal Night Emperorâs two incarnations had the same strength as his original body and the cultivation technique he used was special, these incarnations had long since gained sentience. As time passed, they would naturally be unwilling to submit to the original body.
Although the original body had a natural suppression of the incarnations, it did not stop them from turning against the original body when they encountered danger.
Otherwise, this âEternal Night Emperorâ wouldnât have surrendered.
âOh? Where is your original body?â
Qin Jue asked with interest.
Qin Jue couldnât locate the Eternal Night Emperorâs original body in the entire imperial capital. It was obvious that the other party had already hidden himself.
No wonder no one knew who the actual ruler of the Eternal Night Empire was. It was probably to prevent such a situation from happening. It could be seen how cautious this Eternal Night Emperor was.
âYes!â
Before he could finish his sentence, a scarlet light suddenly pierced through the Eternal Night Emperorâs forehead and passed through his body.
Thump.
The âEternal Night Emperorâ fell heavily to the ground with a lifeless expression.
ââ¦â
Seeing this, Qin Jue was stunned for a moment before he shrugged his shoulders. Since the incarnation wasnât killed by him, Qin Jue had kept his word.
â¦
âThereâs no need to search. Iâm already here.â
In the distance, another Eternal Night Emperor appeared and looked straight at Qin Jue without fear.
âYouâre the original body?â
Qin Jue sized up this âEternal Night Emperorâ with suspicion.
According to what the âEternal Night Emperorâ had said just now, the Spirit Devouring Art could produce two incarnations. Now that both incarnations had died, as expected, the one in front of him should be real.
âYes.â
The Eternal Night Emperor nodded indifferently.
âI didnât expect you to come out on your own.â
Qin Jue sighed. He thought that this Eternal Night Emperor was very cautious, but he didnât expect him to suddenly jump out and court death.
At this moment, Long Zhen had already flown out from underground with the imprisoned cultivators. He was slightly stunned when he saw the Eternal Night Emperor. âDidnât he die?â
The Eternal Night Emperor ignored Long Zhen and said faintly, âFrom the moment I saw you instantly kill my incarnation, I knew that I wouldnât be able to escape no matter what.â
Qin Jue didnât think much of this. The Eternal Night Emperor was right. Even without knowing about the so-called Three Source Body, Qin Jue would still be able to sense the aura of the Eternal Night Emperor if he appeared in the Hell World again.
Even so, Qin Jue was still very surprised that the Eternal Night Emperor dared to jump out on his own.
At the same time, the Eternal Night Emperor suddenly revealed a strange smile. âThatâs why I plan to die with you.â
As soon as he finished speaking, the Eternal Night Emperor suddenly raised his palm and slapped it on the ground!
Buzz!
In an instant, countless runes spread out from under the Eternal Night Emperorâs feet, forming dense lines that instantly covered the entire Hell World.
He had actually set up a grand formation in the Hell World!
âExplode!â
Under the Evernight Emperorâs control, all the runes immediately emitted a dazzling light that lit up the pitch-black Hell World. Berserk spirit energy surged as if it wanted to tear heaven and earth apart.
Seeing that the array formation was about to explode, Qin Jue punched out. The laughing Eternal Night Emperor immediately turned into dust and dissipated with the wind.
At this point, the once invincible Eternal Night Emperor who ruled over the Hell World had completely fallen, along with his two incarnations.
Rumble!
Although the Eternal Night Emperor had already died, the runic formation still exploded, drawing in the spirit qi of heaven and earth and sweeping through the Hell World.
The ground shattered as energy ripples surged into the sky. Wherever they passed, countless living beings were devoured, including Saint Stage experts.
In order to perish together with Qin Jue, the Eternal Night Emperor had actually chosen to detonate the entire Hell World!
âWhat is happening?â
Long Zhen was dumbfounded. Until now, he still didnât understand what was going on.
âNo time to explain. Get on.â
Qin Jueâs spirit energy transformed into a horse that carried everyone towards the abyss that led to the Spirit Central World.
âWait, I havenât gotten on yet.â
Just as Qin Jue and the others were about to leave, a figure flew out of the ground and screamed in fear.
ââ¦â
