People are devouring, a new talent every month.

These two direct disciples of Master Qianying are both influential figures in the Wanshan League.

Among them, the weakest second brother, the Corpse Demon King 'Maio', is a Chaos Realm existence at the King level. He is well-known throughout the Origin Continent and is no less famous than the Great Sage Yuanguang.

As for the eldest senior sister Ying Shouji, although her title is not very majestic and domineering, she is actually a God King, and her strength is much stronger than that of the second senior brother.

Lu Ming naturally knew the reputations of these two people.

"Hello, senior brothers and sisters." Lu Ming looked at the two of them calmly and greeted them.

Senior Sister Yingshuji had actually been a disciple of Qianying Tower Master before Qianying Tower Master rose to prominence, and had the deepest relationship with Qianying Tower Master. Under the careful guidance of Qianying Tower Master, Senior Sister Yingshuji, who was already gifted, finally stepped into the realm of the God King.

Although her realm is far inferior to that of her own teacher, the Master of Qianying Tower, due to the particularity of the Avenue of Shadows itself, especially since Senior Sister Yingshu is best at the [Escape] lineage, her ability to appear and disappear at will is almost as good as that of her own teacher.

As for the second senior brother, the Corpse Demon King 'Maio', he majored in the [Control] branch of the Great Dao of Shadows, especially through the special abilities of the Great Dao of Shadows itself. He can directly control the bodies of fallen strong men to fight for himself and others, and this move is named "Corpse Soul Control" by him, which can be regarded as a very special puppeteer's method.

It is precisely because of this special method that he is called the "Corpse King".

"Junior brother." The two senior brothers and sisters responded to Lu Ming with a smile. In front of the master, they both behaved very warmly and friendly.

"Although my lineage is usually relatively low-key in the Wanshan League, since you are now my direct disciple, you will naturally have the authority and rewards you deserve. From now on, your authority in the Wanshan League will officially enter the core level, and you will have all the same status and qualifications as other holders of the Five-Star Gold Mountain Order."

This can be considered a small benefit for the master.

"As for other cultivation resources, the things stored in this storage ring should be enough for you to use for a while." Qianying Tower Master waved his hand again and threw out a storage bracelet. This was a common practice for every disciple. "Practice well. With your talent, I believe you will be able to practice the clone technique soon. By then, your ability to protect your life will be even stronger."

"Thank you, Teacher." Lu Ming was a little overjoyed, but he still bowed.

He originally thought that the pot of wine and the nine Nirvana Fruits were already gifts bestowed upon him, but he did not expect that the "Ceremony of Becoming a Disciple" would be much more generous than he had imagined.

"Junior brother, I am not as rich as our teacher, so I will give you a Shadow Dance Cloak as a gift." Following the teacher, the owner of Qianying Tower, the eldest sister, Ying Shouji, also took out a strange cloak with a black base and engraved with blood-red mysterious patterns.

"Thank you, Senior Sister." Although Lu Ming did not know the specific function of this cloak, he could judge from the aura it exuded that it was a God-King-level secret treasure, and a God-King-level secret treasure that was extremely compatible with the Avenue of Shadow.

"Brother, I don't have anything good here. The only thing I can show off is this Black Sky War God Corpse Puppet." The second brother, the Corpse Demon King Maio, took out a black war soldier puppet with an extremely terrifying aura.

This black war soldier puppet is fully armed. Not only does it hold two swords, but it also has six pairs of black metal wings as sharp as blades on its back.

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Lu Ming took another gift with a smile on his face.

This 'Black Sky War God' puppet is indeed not a God-King-level secret treasure, but it is said that the reason why this senior brother of his has become so famous is related to this special corpse puppet.

Of course, if he wants to control this puppet to exert strength comparable to that of his senior brother, he will have to work hard on the "Soul-stealing Technique" among the "Five Thousand Shadow Techniques".

……

After getting to know each other, Master Lu Ming and his disciples separated.

After returning to his cave, Lu Ming immediately began to carefully study the "Shadow Clone" chapter of the "Five Thousand Shadow Methods".

There are only two types of clone techniques known in the entire Origin Continent.

One is the "Avatar Technique" of the Void Dao. The principle is to initially break the cage of the source world and attract a small amount of mysterious aura, which is the power of Hunyuan, to cultivate a clone.

The second type is the "Shadow Clone" of the Avenue of Shadows. The principle is to communicate with the "Shadow World" of the source world itself, borrow a little original power from the source world, and make one's own "Shadow Clone" turn virtual into real.

Underground hall.

call.

A green jade bottle appeared in Lu Ming's hand, containing some special materials.

Just like when refining the body, some rare treasures are needed in the world. When refining the clone, some special materials are also needed. The most critical part is that the condensed clone soul needs to grow rapidly.

"I have already created the 'Six Illusions of True Shadow' before, and I am not far from completely creating the 'Shadow Clone'. Now that I know the correct method, it is easy to practice." Lu Ming pulled out the stopper of the green jade bottle, put it aside, and then began to practice.

Strange grey threads began to condense on Lu Ming's body surface, interweaving with each other and gradually condensing into grey secret patterns. As time passed, more and more grey secret patterns appeared on Lu Ming's body surface... In a blink of an eye, Lu Ming seemed to be wearing a layer of grey armor, and the mysterious aura on the grey secret patterns emanated.

Buzz buzz~~~

A large number of gray secret patterns began to arrange and combine with each other, and then turned into a series of gray secret patterns and began to flow, making these series of gray secret patterns begin to merge more exquisitely.

Waves of inexplicable fluctuations spread out.

boom.

As they flowed, these gray secret patterns finally merged into a huge complete secret pattern diagram. This huge gray secret pattern diagram completely enveloped Lu Ming, and whoosh, it directly invaded Lu Ming's divine body.

Miracles began to appear gradually...

"My soul……"

Lu Ming felt like he was drunk and confused, but he could still sense that his soul was gradually splitting into one, two, and three parts...

His divine body also began to split... Feeling the lack of his own strength, Lu Ming immediately took some medicine that he had prepared long ago to restore his soul and divine power.

……

I was in a daze and didn’t know how much time had passed.

call.

Lu Ming, who had been staying in the inner space of Yu Jue Ancient City, suddenly split into five shadows, and the five shadows transformed into young men in black robes.

The five young men in black robes and the young man in golden armor who was sitting cross-legged were from the same origin, had exactly the same aura, and had exactly the same strength.

"Now my shadow clones have become independent entities. Each of them has a complete soul and divine body, and even the chaotic space within the divine body." Lu Ming felt extremely satisfied. The six clones all had the same memories, and they were essentially the same person. Even if one clone died, it would not affect the other five clones.

And even if one of the clones dies, it can be cultivated again with the help of secret methods. However, it takes a lot of precious resources to cultivate it again, and the cost is still relatively high.

"If it weren't for the resources given to me by Teacher Qianying, I might not be able to gather enough resources to practice clones in the short term." Lu Ming shook his head secretly. The advantage of his perfect divine body was huge, but once he practiced methods such as body refining secrets and clone techniques, the resources consumed were also abnormally exaggerated.

Fortunately, the main energy when cultivating the clone is grabbed from the origin of the "source world", and I only need to prepare some materials to restore the soul. Otherwise, if I really want to supply five perfect divine bodies, how many resources and treasures will it take to replenish the divine power?

"Hello." Lu Ming looked at his five shadow clones.

The most obvious difference between it and the original is the difference in "equipment".

The original body has a complete set of peak-level Chaos Secret Treasures, as well as more precious God King-level Secret Treasures such as Yu Jue Ancient City and Shadow Dance Cloak. However, the five clones are currently still dressed in "white clothes".

"Although the main part of a strong man's combat effectiveness comes from the rules he has comprehended, the improvement brought by weapons and secret treasures is also something that must be taken seriously." Before the clone is equipped with suitable treasures, the clone's overall strength is definitely not as strong as the original.

"Greetings!" The five young men in black robes and Lu Ming in golden armor looked at each other and smiled.

With Lu Ming's current understanding and application of Shadow Clone, he can at most create six clones.

In this regard, "Shadow Clone" is much stronger than Void Dao's "Clone Technique".

……

time flies.

After cultivating his clone, Lu Ming's actions became more unrestrained.

Some clones continued to carry out assassination missions issued by the Dark Hall of the Yanfeng Guild and the Hunting God Palace of the Wanshan League, while some clones were adventures in various dangerous places in the Origin Continent. One of Lu Ming's clones even went to the distant Huanchen Palace and met the original ancestor who was staying there again.

The original ancestor had a strong talent for cultivation, and not long ago he finally broke free from the shackles and became an eternal true god, greatly increasing his status in the Huanchen Palace.

……

On this day, Lu Ming's strongest self came to the famous "Black Soul Realm" on a whim.

The Dark Soul Society is said to be the remains left behind by the fall of a God-King.

According to the detailed information obtained from the Wanshan League, there are quite a lot of relics left behind by the ancient powerful beings under the control of the Wanshan League after their death.

This kind of ancient ruins is somewhat similar to the secret realm of the universe in the primitive universe. A few of them may be public, but most of the resource-rich ruins are all controlled by major forces such as the two ancient countries, the Wanshan Alliance, and many first-class countries.

Those without powerful background normally have no chance to get in.

Of course, Lu Ming is now the holder of the Five-Star Golden Mountain Order of Wanshan League, so he is certainly qualified to come here if he wants to.

The Black Soul Realm is one of the most famous ruins controlled by the Wanshan League.

This ancient relic is rich in resources, but it is also extremely dangerous. It is said that even many Chaos Lords have died there. Obviously, the ancient being who left behind these relics must have been a powerful God-King.

This is such a precious place, and since I have a clone left outside, of course I have to go and explore it.

Above the Black Soul Realm, Lu Ming was wearing a black cloak.

Above the black fog, Lu Ming looked down at this vast world. At a glance, he saw endless black fog, with no end in sight.

"It is said that the entire Dark Soul Realm is the chaotic space inside the body of the fallen God King. It is completely equivalent to a brand new universe, and is slightly different from the Origin Continent in some subtle details." Although he did not observe it carefully, Lu Ming could guess that the scope of the Dark Soul Realm must be more than one trillion light-years in diameter.

After all, the small universe of the gods and kings, in theory, is at least one trillion light years in diameter.

"Enter."

Lu Ming plunged directly into the enveloping black mist.

call.

Lu Ming felt the space change, and suddenly his feet felt soft. His face changed and he flew upwards quickly.

"Roar~~~~~" A bloody mouth rushed out from below and bit him fiercely. Fortunately, Lu Mingfei was fast and avoided the bite.

"They actually moved me directly to the swamp." Lu Ming flew high in the sky and looked down. Below him was a vast swamp. Right below him, there was a strange beast covered in mud, looking up at Lu Ming with murderous eyes. It slowly crawled out, revealing its lizard-like body.

"According to the many information records about the Black Soul Realm within the Wanshan League, no matter where you enter the Black Soul Realm from, you will be moved to the swamp. The swamp is home to countless exotic beasts. The strength of the exotic beasts varies. The weak ones may only have the strength of a true god, and the most powerful ones may even be at the level of a god king." Lu Ming looked at the exotic beast below that had just attacked him.

It is very normal for a powerful God King to keep exotic beasts in his own chaotic universe.

In the chaotic universe of this God King, there is a huge swamp area that is specifically used to raise exotic beasts.

As long as the adventurous trainees are strong enough, they are allowed to hunt these exotic beasts. However, everyone has a hunting quota.

After all, even if they are in a swamp area, the strange beasts have the advantage of fighting on their own soil, and most of them are still no match for the practitioners.

If there is no restraint, it will be easy to overfish and make it difficult for the alien beast tribes to continue to survive.

"Roar~~~~~" This lizard-like beast, which had a body similar to that of a lizard but a wider mouth, suddenly soared into the sky, and its body, which was tens of billions of kilometers long, crawled in the void.

"Practitioner, get out of my territory!" The scales of this lizard monster are all gray-black. It is an extremely difficult existence among the chaos-level monsters - the Shadow Demon Lizard.

As the name suggests, this chaotic beast is an extremely rare beast of the Avenue of Shadows. It is best at controlling the shadow domain and is extremely good at domain-related methods.

call.

Lu Ming ignored the big lizard's cry and ran straight to the swamp where it was.

"Chase me to the Shadow Realm if you have the guts." The huge lizard beast sent a thought, and then it disappeared into thin air.

It was able to dodge its sudden attack, and this time it encountered another tough guy, so of course it had to run.

In addition to being good at domain control, the Shadow Demon Lizard also has some innate abilities of shadow escape. When encountering a practitioner who poses a threat to itself, it will directly escape into the shadow domain, leaving the opponent helpless.

After all, there are very few practitioners who are good at the Great Way of Shadow.

Unfortunately, it happened to meet such a person today.

"Want to escape? How can it be so easy!" Realizing that the breath of the Shadow Demon Lizard had already penetrated deep into the Shadow Realm and was still escaping deeper, Lu Ming instantly chased after it.

Compared to Shadow Realm Escape, Lu Ming is much better than it.

In the dim shadow space - the Shadow Realm world, the gigantic Shadow Demon Lizard turned into a residual image and flew at a high speed.

Although the Shadow Demon Lizard's means of escape cannot allow it to directly enter the "teleportation layer", it can be said that it has entered a deeper shadow world. When flying here, its speed is much faster than that in the outside world.

"What! He actually chased us in!" The Shadow Demon Lizard was originally full of confidence, but was horrified to find that the other party actually chased us into the Shadow Realm World.

"die."

A dazzling flash of gun light flashed and instantly pierced through the body of the Shadow Demon Lizard.

"Puff." The huge lizard's body instantly lost control like a locomotive without brakes.

The Shadow Demon Lizard, whose life force was cut off, could no longer stay in the Shadow Realm World, and its corpse reappeared above the swamp.

"Snapped!"

The strange dark green blood scattered and fell into the swamp below, splashing up some mud.

"The Light of Destruction" from "Three Lives of Light".

Lu Ming held the purple-gold Wuji Spear in his hand. The Wuji Spear was extremely smooth and not stained with a trace of blood.
