Martial arts and long life start from inner alchemy.

Chapter 689 The Sneak Attack
The competition for the Supreme Dao Fruit has basically become clear by now.

Yuanhua, Zhu Xiao and Zhu Xiao's clone form a three-way competition.

Originally, Zhu Xiao and the replica had been entangled, so Yuan Hua was under less pressure.

But the original and the replica are not always together.

After the changes in the Avenue of Decadent Fate, the clones will not only chase the original body, they will also use the corresponding resources to improve their strength.

Yuanhua's luck seemed to be bad. While looking for resources, he ran into Zhu Xiao's clone.

Zhu Xiao is very powerful and can defeat his opponents under pressure, so his clone is naturally not weak either.

Facing Zhu Xiao's clone, Yuan Hua was under a lot of pressure.

"I didn't expect that a youngster could cause me so much pressure. The previous one was the Supreme Longyue. The young people nowadays are really scary." In the entire starry sky, Yuanhua is already the oldest group, and there is really no problem in calling Zhu Xiao, who is only more than 200,000 years old, a young man.

Zhu Xiao's copy looked at Yuan Hua and said, "You have been defeated three times on the road to supremacy. Have you ever thought about the reason?"

"The reason? That's simple. It's just that you're not strong enough. There's nothing to say." Hearing the mocking words from Zhu Xiao's clone, Yuan Hua didn't fluctuate at all.

Over the years, he has long known how the outside world sees him.

A loser.

Every time he is just a little bit short of becoming the supreme being, he is indeed very strong.

But he knew that most people would not see these. They would only see that he kept failing. He was obviously an old man with a strong foundation and rich experience, but he was still suppressed by one practitioner after another.

If he could still get angry when faced with such words, he would have destroyed himself long ago.

The replica "Zhu Xiao" smiled inexplicably after hearing Yuan Hua's answer: "Do you really think it's because of your lack of strength? In the endless starry sky, every living being has his own destiny. Some are destined to become top powerhouses from birth, while others can only fall in a certain realm and cannot make any progress. Maybe it's the first realm, or the seventh realm, or even the twelfth realm. This seems to be standing at the top of the starry sky, but only the cultivator himself knows how unwilling this position is... Yuan Hua, guess which one you are in?"

In fact, Yuanhua understood what the copy "Zhu Xiao" meant without him having to continue talking.

That was his fate, which could only allow him to reach the twelfth realm.

Without waiting for him to speak, she continued, "You once used a heaven-defying item, the Origin Pen, to write your own destiny. It seemed like you were changing your fate, but in fact, you had already fixed it. No matter what, you could not move forward. Your experience on the Supreme Road is proof of this. You were just a little bit short each time, but how much short was it?"

The clone "Zhu Xiao" seemed to be attacking the mind, but it didn't have any effect.

These words could not shake Yuanhua's determination to seek the truth.

"Maybe that was the case before, but an accident has already happened, hasn't it?" Yuanhua asked directly.

As a top-notch expert, even if he doesn't know many things, he can still get some information based on clues.

He knew that even if he copied "Zhu Xiao's" words, even if they were true, they were only in the past.

The replica "Zhu Xiao" was silent for a while, and then continued: "Fate will not change, and it will eventually return to the right track."

Yuan Hua did not continue to dwell on this, but said: "I originally thought that the next person I would face would be Zhu Xiao, but I didn't expect it would be your clone. Then let me test you in advance to see how powerful the newcomers are. How much have you improved over the years?"

Having said that, Yuan Hua took action without any hesitation.

Every move he made was earth-shattering.

The clone "Zhu Xiao" was not willing to lag behind.

Yuan Hua and Zhu Xiao actually took very similar paths.

Yuanhua takes the path of pure physical strengthening, which is extremely terrifying.

The name of the Star-Breaking Holy Land was not given casually. When he was in the eighth realm, he relied on his terrifying physical body to shatter the stars.

As for Zhu Xiao, his own path was named "the path of the physical body", in which he evolved terrifying magical powers through his physical body.

The two collided, punches hit flesh, and blood splattered across the starry sky.

The fighting area was so noisy that ordinary practitioners could not get close to it.

However, it’s not that no one is paying attention.

Zhu Xiao himself is one of them.

She still pays a lot of attention to her own copy.

In addition to her, there were some other Holy Emperors watching the battle nearby. Only they could watch the battle up close and predict the outcome.

Seeing this battle, the faces of the Holy Emperors present were not very good.

They are all in the twelfth realm, why is the gap so huge?

And such a strong person competes with them on the same stage.

It is foreseeable that as long as these two are still competing on the road to supremacy, they basically have no chance of obtaining the supreme Dao fruit.

Not an opponent at all.

There were also people who were close to Zhu Xiao and asked, "Saint Emperor Zhu Xiao, who do you think will win?"

The other Holy Emperors who heard this question also focused their attention.

They also want to know the answer.

Most of the Holy Emperors thought that Zhu Xiao probably believed that the clone would win.

After all, the strength of the copy of "Zhu Xiao" is similar to that of Zhu Xiao himself, or even exactly the same. If you admit that the copy cannot win, doesn't that mean you also cannot win?

Zhu Xiao did not hesitate and answered directly: "Whether you can win or not is just a matter of wanting to or not. If you are willing--"

"The Holy Emperor Yuanhua can win at any time."

When the answer came out, everyone was shocked.

They thought that Zhu Xiao would be modest and say that his copy could not win.

But I didn't expect the answer to be so thorough.

To be frank, whether Yuanhua will win or not is just a matter of thought.

Could it be that Emperor Zhu Xiaosheng simply admitted defeat?

No one dared to ask further.

Even if we have a good relationship, I wouldn’t dare to do that.

"Brother Cheng Dao, you have a good relationship with the Holy Emperor Zhu Xiao. What do you think the Holy Emperor Zhu Xiao meant?" Since some time ago, King Tian Juan also successfully achieved the twelfth realm and came here to watch the battle.

Li Chengdao was also very surprised, but he knew that Aunt Zhu Xiao would not say anything nonsense, but he didn't know what this meant, so he could only shake his head and said, "I don't know either."

These words made everyone present very confused.

No one could figure out what these words meant.

Wang Sheng was naturally paying attention as well. He knew Yuan Hua's thoughts very well and also knew that what Zhu Xiao said was indeed true.

This is not that Zhu Xiao looks down on herself. In fact, she can do what Zhu Xiao said.

"Obsession is such a terrifying thing. Even a twelfth level person cannot get rid of it..."

He shook his head and didn't pay any more attention.

There is actually no need to watch this battle, the outcome has already been determined.

The battle lasted for more than ten days.

The battle between Yuan Hua and his replica "Zhu Xiao" affected many people. If the Supreme Road had not been set up by Wang Sheng, the Supreme Road would have been destroyed.

But the final result was not surprising.

The winner is Yuanhua.

He killed the copy of "Zhu Xiao" with a slight advantage.

"Did you win? It seems all these years of accumulation have not been in vain."

Having said that, he started regulating his breathing right on the spot.

Although he won, the price he paid was not low.

The injuries on his body were extremely serious, even difficult to suppress.

If it is not adjusted properly, it will be very troublesome.

And ever since he killed Zhu Xiao's clone, he now has only one opponent on the road to becoming the supreme leader, and that is Zhu Xiao himself.

He knew that Zhu Xiao would not choose to launch a sneak attack at this time.

So you can adjust with confidence.

After the adjustments are completed, it will be the real final battle.

But things just like to happen unexpectedly when people think nothing will happen.

Just as Yuanhua was adjusting his breath, a force suddenly appeared, trying to directly attack the seriously injured Yuanhua.

Everyone watching this battle was shocked.

Although the competition on the road to supremacy accumulates, no one will take advantage of others unless they are mortal enemies.

"Does Saint Emperor Yuanhua have any enemies? Why would he launch a surprise attack at this time?"

"Could it be that Emperor Zhu Xiaosheng felt that he could not win, so he took direct action to ensure victory?" This is also the thought of many people.

"Impossible. Someone saw Saint Emperor Zhu Xiao at the place of the final battle. He was waiting for Saint Emperor Yuanhua. Even the top Saint Emperor cannot rush here from the place of the final battle in such a short time." Someone immediately refuted.

"Help us quickly." These are Yuanhua's followers, and they want Yuanhua to prove his truth.

"It's too late. It's going too fast."

The sneak attack happened in an instant, and the battle had just ended. Yuanhua's followers didn't have time to take their positions and were unable to stop it.

The person who attacked exuded a terrifying aura, no worse than the previous clone of Zhu Xiao.

Even if he was in good condition, being hit would not feel good, not to mention that Yuanhua was seriously injured now. Once hit, he would most likely die directly.

But just when everyone was worried, Yuan Hua suddenly opened his eyes, his momentum increased sharply, and the injuries on his body seemed to be suppressed in an instant: "Sure enough, you are here, you hid in the dark, just for this time, right?"

Yuan Hua made a move instantly and blocked the punch directly to block the sneak attack.

The attacker failed in his first move, but he did not retreat and continued to attack.

Yuanhua, who had just finished a battle, had to fight again.

Yuan Hua responded while speaking: "Nowadays, perhaps few people in the starry sky know these methods. Two hundred thousand years is not a long time for us, but it is enough for people to forget many things. Don't you think so, Chongxu! No, it should be said that it is the copy of Chongxu."

Chongxu, who was originally hiding his figure, or rather, his replica, revealed his figure. The Holy Emperors present, who were all of considerable age, quickly recalled from their memories the greatest disaster in the old starry sky, the Devouring Flow.

Chongxu is one of the leaders of the Devouring Stream.

After his identity was revealed, "Chongxu" no longer hid.

"Long time no see, Yuanhua."

"You're just a clone, so don't say those words. Even if it's your original body, we're not old friends." Yuanhua's attack became more and more fierce.

"That's a pity." Chongxu's tone was full of regret, "But it is true that we are not friends, but enemies, and when facing enemies, we need to use every possible means."

The fight between the two was extremely fierce. Yuan Hua's followers and those who had watched the fight all wanted to take action, but before they could take a few steps, they were stopped by the clones of the former Devouring Flow practitioners and were unable to lend a hand.

And "Chongxu" suddenly changed his moves. At the same time, a black hole suddenly appeared next to Yuanhua.

Someone saw this and his face turned ugly: "Sure enough, if a copy of Chongxu appears, then Heiyuan is also possible."

Two against one, Yuanhua was even seriously injured.

The situation is extremely unfavorable.

But just when Heiyuan's sneak attack was about to succeed, a figure appeared in the void again: "One against two is not a good idea, Heiyuan. In the previous war, I couldn't even face your aura. I'm deeply sorry. Now, let me give it a try."

Zhu Xiao suddenly appeared.

He directly blocked Heiyuan's attack, and even took the opportunity to slap Heiyuan directly and launched a sneak attack.

Both Heiyuan and Chongxu were very surprised to see Zhu Xiao.

"How could you possibly make it here? We have confirmed that you are at the site of the decisive battle. It is impossible for you to arrive so quickly."

Chongxu and Heiyuan hid in the Supreme Road for a long time and planned for a long time.

Before taking action, one naturally investigates the situation thoroughly.

They chose to take action because they knew that Zhu Xiao could not arrive in a short time.

But the result was beyond their expectations.

Yuan Hua, who seemed to be seriously injured, and Chong Xu were fighting to a standstill, and neither of them looked injured at all.

Zhu Xiao, who was originally planned to be unable to arrive, not only arrived, but also directly hit Heiyuan.

The situation flipped instantly.

They had encountered this scene before, which was the battle between the Old Land Conquest Flow and the Devouring Flow.

The same was true of that war.

Everything was clearly planned and it seemed like they were going to win, but it was overturned in a short time and the entire devouring flow was destroyed. The same is true now.

Chongxu seemed to have thought of something, his face turned gloomy, and he said, "The competition for the Supreme Road has its own rules, and even the creator cannot easily change it. If you interfere, the consequences are not something that anyone can afford."

It seemed that he said this to Yuanhua, but in fact it was not the case.

Wang Sheng's expression turned calm when he heard Chong Xu's words.

He knew that Chongxu was reminding him.

As soon as the Supreme Road was opened, he sensed the presence of Chongxu and others. Observing their actions, he naturally knew their thoughts.

But as Chongxu said, he couldn't easily interfere in the fight for the Supreme Road.

But if he were to watch like that, it would be impossible.

So he followed his original habit and made changes to some opportunities while adding them to the Supreme Road.

For example, there are elixirs that can instantly restore injuries to the twelfth realm, or props that can allow people to cross countless distances, and...

"I didn't reveal any information. Adding opportunities is what I have been doing all along, so it's not a violation."

He just gave up the opportunity casually. As for how Zhu Xiao and Yuan Hua, who got the opportunity, guessed the situation, it had nothing to do with him.

They were lucky to get the corresponding opportunity.

As long as the rules are not violated, nothing "Chongxu" says will be of any use.

After "Chongxu" spoke, he found that there was no response. He knew that he was scheming and actually fell into the calculations of others.

After blocking Yuan Hua's attack, he took a deep breath: "Sure enough, conspiracy and trickery can never beat absolute strength, but Yuan Hua, you know, there is more than one way to prove the truth on the Supreme Path..."

The aura of "Chongxu" increased greatly, and it soon surpassed the twelfth realm.

"I was already close to the thirteenth realm. Now, it is just a piece of cake for me to complete the rest of the journey."

The replica "Chongxu" wants to attain enlightenment directly.

The breath increased greatly.

The path to supremacy has never been one that only the ultimate winner can attain.

This is just the subconscious thought of the other creatures on the road.

Facing the "Chongxu" who was about to attain enlightenment, Yuanhua remained calm and did not even choose to stop him:

"Why do you think Zhu Xiao thought I could defeat her clone?"
