Indeed, as the fight between the two sides dragged on, time slipped away. The second Mirror Image Person in the Mirror Shadow Space stepped out from the edge of the mirror, identical to Su Changkong in every way! Whether in aura or appearance!
"It’s here!"
A sense of gravity filled Su Changkong’s eyes, and with two fists fighting against four, it was almost impossible for him to stand a chance against two copies of himself while facing one against two. All he could do was delay!
"Boom!"
In the burst of explosions, both Mirror Image Persons made their move. Simultaneously activating the Giant Whale Body Technique, they lunged viciously from the left and the right. Their feet stomped down, making the pure white ground hum and tremble.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Su Changkong dared not be the slightest bit careless. His heart pounded wildly, True Blood surged, and he instantly entered the state of the Giant Whale Body Technique. His body emanated heat like molten lava, his skin turned a glaring red, and with a stomp of his foot and a low roar, he threw out his double fists.
"Roaring thunder!"
As the four fists collided, the deafening blasts left no doubt that Su Changkong, outnumbered and outmatched, was sent flying backward for miles. He had to continuously muster his Qi and Blood to stabilize himself midair and stop the momentum.
But before he could catch his breath, the space around him solidified, caved in, one Mirror Image Person used the Ape Demon Captures the Air technique, immobilizing Su Changkong completely, while the other Mirror Image Person had already charged furiously at him, pummeling his chest with a punch that went straight forward.
Su Changkong’s entire body erupted with True Yuan. He let out a furious roar, breaking free from the grasp of Ape Demon Captures the Air, while the True Yuan within him surged and condensed into the Mysterious Turtle Elemental Armor, leaving him no choice but to take the mountain-splitting, stone-breaking punch of his mirror image head-on.
"Crack!"
In the ear-splitting sound of explosion, it was as if numerous fierce tigers were roaring, causing the space to shake and shatter. Su Changkong’s Mysterious Turtle Elemental Armor was smashed to pieces, and once again, he was sent flying backward. His body rubbed so violently against the air that sparks were produced!
"Outnumbering me,... how shameless!"
Su Changkong cursed silently to himself.
The fact that this Mirror Shadow Space projected a Mirror Image Person with the same power as himself was bad enough, but to face not just one but multiple of oneself, where could there be any chance of victory with equal might?
The challenge left by the Mirror Master was indeed twisted, clearly not designed for anyone to pass, unless a miracle happened!
In truth, real freaks and powerhouses could indeed create miracles, turn the impossible into possible. If one wasn’t such a freak in the eyes of the Mirror Master, they were merely ordinary, mediocre people, undeserving of his Great Divine Seed.
What Su Changkong could do was fight with all his might. One against two, in absolute disadvantage, it didn’t take long before he was completely suppressed by two mirror images with the same strength as himself, leaving him with almost no capacity to retaliate, and he was hit repeatedly.
Supported by the Mysterious Turtle Elemental Armor and the Saint Level Physique of the Giant Whale Body Technique, he wasn’t shattered on the spot, but he was inevitably injured again and again, his Qi and Blood tumultuous, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth.
"Counterfeits, fakes... no matter how many of you there are, don’t think you can defeat me!"
Su Changkong’s golden pupils were tinged with strands of red. Facing the attacks of two versions of himself, the immense pressure was rare in his life. Even when he faced the Innate Martial Artist in the Qi-Blood Realm before, he never felt so powerless as now. But Su Changkong’s conviction to win was unshaken; he refused to lose to these fakes.
"Crack!"
One Mirror Image Person stepped into the void, the punching power of White Tiger Roars and Kills concentrated to a point. Su Changkong could only stimulate his True Yuan and use the same move to counter. Amid the explosive sounds, the already injured Su Changkong was in absolute disadvantage against his uninjured mirror image person, and he was blasted backward, repeatedly dispersing the force in the air, his right arm’s bones showing faint cracks.
"Hiss!"
And without giving Su Changkong a moment to breathe, a glint of cold light flashed by, and the other Mirror Image Person had already performed Blade Soul Separation, slashing at Su Changkong’s neck.
"Clang!"
Su Changkong activated all his potential, his Sea of Consciousness shook, his Blade Soul erupted from between his eyebrows, colliding with the other, causing both bodies to shudder, and a tearing pain coming from the stone sea.
By now, Su Changkong had abandoned all strategies and only fought with all his might, matching strength with strength, to keep afloat momentarily. If he retreated even half a step against two of himself, there was only one road left for him: defeat and death!
The three ’Su Changkongs’ battled it out in the Mirror Shadow Space, making it hard to tell them apart, hard to believe it was just a battle between Innate Martial Artists.
"Crack!"
```
Su Changkong’s left rib was struck by a fist, accompanied by the sound of exploding bones.
His right shoulder was sliced by a blade, even the flesh of a Martial Saint cracked open, and the bones were nearly severed. Drops of crimson blood trickled down, falling onto the pure white ground, spreading out like little ponds.
Su Changkong could only persevere with an unyielding will. As for retreating? The thought had not even arisen before he snuffed it out. Once the idea of retreat took hold, he was certain to be defeated!
At this moment, Su Changkong saw another Mirror Image Person being projected at the edge of the Mirror Shadow Space!
"Three Mirror Image People... this must be the limit of projections from the Mirror Shadow Space. Two was already beyond the limit of what I could handle, three is certainly fatal! Any more would simply be unnecessary!"
Su Changkong was not alarmed but pleased, he knew his time for delaying had come.
Three Mirror Image People, this was most likely the limit of the Mirror Shadow Space. If a fourth Mirror Image Person really were to be projected, then Su Changkong could only accept that the challenge left by the Mirror Master was simply not meant to be passed by anyone! It wasn’t meant to pass on his Great Divine Seed at all!
"Now... to break through!" 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Su Changkong, exhausted and injured, had a gleaming look in his eyes, burning like fire. Whether he would pass the test of the Mirror Shadow Space depended on whether his Guiding Technique would break through to the 11th realm and create a miracle!
"Beast of the Evil Emperor!"
Su Changkong gritted his teeth fiercely as the Mysterious Turtle True Essence crazily infused into the Divine Seed of the Beast of the Evil Emperor within his heart.
"Hiss!"
With a sharp hiss, a black mist filled the air. A colossal beast with a diameter of several miles appeared in the Mirror Shadow Space, its eight tentacles covered in scales flailing wildly!
Su Changkong directly entered the body of the Beast of the Evil Emperor; he needed a moment’s respite to make his Guiding Technique break through, and that was the task of the Beast of the Evil Emperor!
Inside the Beast of the Evil Emperor, Su Changkong, dragging his tired and injured body, began to operate the Guiding Technique. His breathing, intent, movements, and physique all worked together in perfect harmony, creating a mysterious rhythm.
The three projected persons, faced with the massive size of the Beast of the Evil Emperor, simultaneously unleashed ten drops of Mysterious Turtle True Essence, executing moves with power that completely matched that of Divine Skills!
"Boom!"
The Sun and Moon Arrows burst forth, while the sun and moon exploded, the scorching flames ascended like the sun, and the cold moonlight sliced across space.
"Roar!"
A deafening roar, as if from ancient times, seemed to summon a stampede of thousands of beasts, causing extreme distortions in space!
"Tsst!"
The Blade Soul, separated from the body, manipulated the Blood Prisoner’s Knife, slashing down and tearing the sky apart!
The three Mirror Image People, previously two against one, could not execute wide-range lethal moves for fear of harming each other; but against the colossal Beast of the Evil Emperor, they held nothing back and deployed their strongest moves.
"Boom boom boom!"
The Beast of the Evil Emperor let out anguished shrieks. In but a single encounter, its body was riddled with holes, scales cracked, and tentacles blown off. Had it not been for its thick skin and fleshy resilience, the creature would have been annihilated on the spot under the three attacks that rivalled Divine Skills!
Su Changkong paid no mind to anything else, completely absorbed in his cultivation of the Guiding Technique.
One breath, two breaths...
The Guiding Technique, already perfected at the 10th realm, amidst extraordinary potential, now naturally achieved a breakthrough. Su Changkong felt his body, which had been heavy due to serious injuries, become light and nimble, as if all things outside of heaven and earth, even the Spiritual Energy flowing in the air, had become objects in the palm of his hand, and even the True Yuan spilling around him could be used at his whim!
After ten breaths, the body of the Beast of the Evil Emperor was torn apart by the rampant attacks, and Su Changkong’s mouth revealed a trace of a smile, "Finally... I’ve broken through!"
