Battle with Self

Chapter 447: Battle Against "Self"

"Boom!"

Battle erupted as two Lin Fans, almost identical in appearance, continuously clashed, blood Qi surging and sparks flying.

However, as soon as they exchanged blows, Lin Fan sensed something was off; facing his opponent was like facing a mirror.

The most terrifying thing was that the other him seemed real, flesh and blood, and was actually on par with him.

Moreover, his strength was suddenly restricted to the Blood Moving Realm, making it difficult for him to adapt for a while, as many powerful precious arts he normally used could not be employed.

Because in the Blood Moving Realm, every confrontation required considering the limits of one's own endurance, and the use of bone inscriptions had to be extremely precise.

If too strong or complex bone inscriptions were used, it would instead be a huge burden and consumption for oneself, which greatly tested a Cultivator.

"That's right, I've mastered too many top-tier Secret Realms, such as the Ten Vicious Laws, and have neglected the most basic things," Lin Fan muttered to himself.

However, he was no ordinary person and quickly adapted; his golden blood Qi surged into the sky, blazing brightly, as if a Divine Furnace had been moved.

Divine Radiance permeated, taking shape outside his body, like countless Divine Feathers, forming runes, condensing together, and his aura grew increasingly powerful.

At this moment, Lin Fan's Physical Body was crystal clear, his vital blood flowing like a long river, clearly employing the power of the Blood Moving Extreme Realm.

"Kill!"

Lin Fan roared, taking the initiative to attack, swinging his fist without many elaborate Moves, emphasizing breaking all laws with a single force.

Because, in the most basic Blood Moving Realm, that was precisely how it should be; no matter how many or how strong the runes were, they were merely "nourishment" to strengthen oneself.

However, the other him was equally brave, matching Lin Fan in strength, making it almost impossible to distinguish between them.

This was truly astonishing!

One must know that although Lin Fan's cultivation was suppressed, his Physical Body strength remained, and he also cultivated the Undying Scripture, making him indestructible.

Yet, in the current confrontation, he did not gain the slightest advantage, which was truly inconceivable.

"No, he also cultivates the Undying Scripture!" Lin Fan was startled.

He wondered why the opponent's body was so hard and unmoving; it turned out he also cultivated the strongest scripture of the Body Refining lineage.

However, he soon felt relieved; how could the Saint Emperor's imprint not know, after all, it was the half-volume Undying Scripture he had found.

"Damn it, no wonder so many Cultivators couldn't even pass the first stage. Who can withstand this Physical Body? It's a miracle they weren't beaten to death."

Lin Fan couldn't help but curse; he felt that this Legacy was never intended for anyone.

Even he, if he hadn't cultivated the Undying Scripture beforehand and just barged in, probably wouldn't have fared much better.

Furthermore, he also discovered something: to pass the test, he had to defeat the other him, not just remain undefeated as Meng Tianzheng had said.

Therefore, Lin Fan fell into a bitter struggle, blood splattering, a fight to the death!

Now, he had only two choices: either he killed the opponent, or the opponent killed him.

"Are you intentionally targeting me?!" Lin Fan frowned tightly.

This was quite Heaven-Defying, fighting against another similar him, greatly testing the limits of his true self.

Because the strengths of the two were similar, and their combat awareness was identical, once a tiny flaw was caught in the opponent, they would attack relentlessly.

"Pfft!"

This battle alone lasted for three days and three nights, and Lin Fan staggered back, finally bringing it to an end.

He was utterly exhausted; although he won, it was a narrow victory, with wounds all over his body, Divine Blood constantly flowing.

This was truly astonishing; fighting for such a long time in the most basic Blood Moving Realm was something Lin Fan had never experienced before.

One could imagine how difficult it was; at this Rank, it could be called an epoch-making battle.

"Dong!"

However, before Lin Fan could rest for long, the entire space vibrated again; he knew the next stage was about to begin.

At the same time, his cultivation increased, instantly reaching the Cave Heaven Realm, and his Divine Power became much more abundant.

Upon reaching this Realm, the speed of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth greatly accelerated, allowing him to directly draw from the surrounding environment through his Cave Heaven.

In addition, the application and combination of runes, as well as attack power, would be comprehensively improved.

The Cave Heaven Realm was also the beginning for a Cultivator to initially understand the world's order and the changes in rules, like re-enacting a small world.

It opened a channel, or a pure land, or even a world, within or outside the human body.

It could be said that this Realm was the beginning of life's transcendence; its effect was very great, capable of nurturing precious artifacts and runes within the Cave Heaven.

Generally speaking, the ultimate of this Realm was ten Cave Heavens, but Lin Fan broke the limit, opening twelve Cave Heavens, adding two major Cave Heavens: Physical Body and Primordial Spirit.

Afterward, he even melted them into one, achieving the Unique Cave Heaven, truly reaching a level unprecedented.

"Not good, the dissipated Saint Emperor's imprint has condensed again!" Lin Fan felt a great sense of foreboding and quickly resumed healing.

At that moment, he directly used his immortal bone, runes sparkling, green light permeating, a scene of vibrant life, and he recovered to his Peak state.

But the next moment, Lin Fan was greatly astonished, saying, "You also have a Unique Cave Heaven!"

Looking at him, the other similar him, a huge Cave Heaven appeared behind him, as black as a millstone, incredibly intimidating.

It perfectly contrasted with Lin Fan's Cave Heaven, one bright and one dark, with surging fields between them, making time seem to stand still.

"Boom!"

Another great battle unfolded; this time, it was a confrontation in the Cave Heaven Realm, both having cultivated the supreme Cave Heaven, reaching the Peak of that Realm.

And they both had their unique advantages.

One was like an abyss devouring all things, where even light could not escape, while the other was like a Dao Heavenly Diagram hovering in the sky, suppressing the world.

In fact, regarding the Unique Cave Heaven, Lin Fan had learned from ancient texts that someone had once deduced it in the previous era.

However, the cultivation system at that time was not like this; instead, it was regarded as a supreme Divine Ability.

But someone had once deduced that once the Unique Cave Heaven succeeded and combined with oneself, it would be a world-shaking method, incomparable.

Because, after the Cave Heaven sublimated, reaching the final Realm, what would be derived would be the great method most suitable for oneself, incredibly terrifying, and no one of the same Rank could restrain it.

Unfortunately, in that apocalyptic era, no one succeeded in merging the Cave Heavens, only exploring a theoretically possible path.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the other Lin Fan's Unique Cave Heaven rumbled, and a black precious bottle condensed within it, shimmering with dark light.

And at this moment, Lin Fan actually felt a little uneasy, his blood even feeling a kind of agitation, wanting to leave his body.

"Hmm, is this the method recorded in the Primordial Celestial Art?!" Lin Fan was shocked.

This Celestial Art belonged to the Devil Emperor, created by him; Lin Fan had seen it in a Secret Realm in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces and was naturally familiar with it.

Its greatest characteristic was to devour all living beings to nourish oneself, strengthen one's Origin, allowing an ordinary person to even rival a prodigy.

It could be said that this was an out-and-out Demonic Technique!

But very quickly, Lin Fan gradually calmed down; after coming to the Nine Heavens, he had already learned that the Devil Emperor was the Saint Emperor.

Now, it was not surprising that this imprint would use it.

"Oh, the Unique Cave Heaven sublimating and deriving a great method suitable for oneself, is that how the Primordial Celestial Art came to be?"

Lin Fan realized, as if looking into a mirror, reflecting his own shortcomings, and seeing another Peak of the Cave Heaven Realm.
