God of Slaughter

"Finally found it!"

The shadow that was Devour's clone twisted hard; he was really excited, indeed!

The hollow soul clones he had released returned to him like birds returning to the nest from everywhere, merging into his main shadow. With that, his aura became more evil, dark, and cold. As the hollow souls returned to him, his power was gathered as well.

Edgar followed him quietly. Seeing him scream excitedly, he was also stirred up, "Congratulations! Congratulations!"

"Muahaha! As long as I got the Power Upanishad Origin, I will become the fountainhead of all Devouring Power Upanishads in this world. At that time, Shi Yan won't have a chance to fight me, and will be swallowed by me in just a wink!" Devour had a good mood right now. "After taking the Power Upanishad Origin and killing Desolate, I can break the barrier that we couldn't in the Absolute Beginning Era. I will then have the eternal, ultimate realm. I will rebuild this world and make the Devouring Clan the strongest clan in this vast sea of stars!"

The vision he described made Edgar enthusiastic and excited.

"Hui is beside the devouring black hole, but we don't need to worry because she doesn't cultivate the Devouring power Upanishad. Even if she has the location, she can't do anything." Devour sneered. Bringing Edgar, he turned into a jet of black light, zooming toward Zi Yao.

At the same time, Shi Yan's clones were flying toward the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin from different locations. Although he knew that he couldn't fuse with it even if he could get there, he must get there as soon as possible.

…Because he couldn't let Devour get the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin!

Once Devour got it, his realm and power would be increased by many times. The stronger Devour became, the lower the chance he would have of surviving. He had to stop the other!

Devour and Shi Yan's clones were aiming at the same target, moving at their max speed while Zi Yao was waiting in silence.

Swoosh!

A strange energy fluctuation came. As Zi Yao was surprised, Shi Yan appeared, walking to her. "He hasn't arrived yet, has he?"

Zi Yao exhaled in relief, smiling. "Not yet…You're right on time! Yeah, what do you think? Do you want to get in there to take the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin first or wait for Devour to come and shoo him away before fusing?"

Then, Zi Yao furrowed her brows while hissing, "You…You're just a clone?" She finally got it.

Shi Yan forced a smile, "Yeah, I'm just a clone. The host body's pretty far from here. I've made several clones, and they're all heading toward this place. But, I can't gather all of them in just a short time. Moreover, even though the body and the clones are all here, I can't take the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin."

"Why?" Zi Yao was surprised.

"I found the Life Power Upanishad Origin, but I couldn't take it even after trying many times …" Shi Yan briefed her his own experience.

Zi Yao was disappointed. "So, the warriors with many Power Upanishads like you aren't qualified to get even one Power Upanishad Origin? Among the Space, Star, Life, and Devouring power Upanishads, you can keep only one of them to get its Power Upanishad Origin? You…Which would you choose?"

Shi Yan felt begrudging. "I don't know what to choose. I haven't made up my mind yet. I want to consider and observe to find a way of obtaining the Power Upanishad Origin while keeping the other powers."

"Devour will arrive here shortly," Zi Yao knitted her brows, talking seriously, "As far as I understand him, he's not weaker than me in this trip. He had used the Devouring power Upanishad to create so many deadly calamities. He has recovered faster than me…"

"We should buy more time first to wait for my host body to come here," Shi Yan pondered.

The two of them didn't talk more, just watching the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin while waiting for Devour. Shi Yan's clone observed and sent a wisp of soul to that devouring black hole. He wanted to check its power.

At that moment, a terrifying suction force arose from the black hole. The strange, deadly, desperate, and frightening auras flooded his head. The soul in this clone of his was like a little boat in a stormy sea. It shook continually as it was being sucked into the black hole.

He became more frightened, not daring to test things out anymore and just watching from a far distance.

The jet-black devouring black hole spun furiously while the eight islands of the eight evil powers scattered and arrayed in an octagonal formation to protect the Devouring power Upanishad. It somehow looked like the formation in Shi Yan's soul altar, but they weren't identical. The formation over there seemed to follow some rule of the heaven and earth.

No matter how far the clones and the host body were, the wisps of soul could contact each other directly.

All the ideas the clones had could reach the host instantly despite the space and distance in between. At this moment, Shi Yan's real body, which was flying toward the area, could see the black hole through the eyes of the clones, and even observe the eight islands.

Every thought of the clones was sent immediately to the host body, making them have the same thought. He wanted to re-arrange the eight evil powers and the Devouring power Upanishad to look the same as the appearance of the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin!

As soon as that thought emerged, his soul altar released a wave of mysterious soul energy, which went from the Sea of Consciousness over to the tier of power Upanishads.

The tier of power Upanishads had all of his power Upanishads. The Devouring power Upanishad hovered above the eight islands that represented the eight evil powers just like one ruling the other eight.

It was different from what Shi Yan's clone saw.

His clone saw the eight islands of the eight powers spin closely around the black hole as if they were a whole. A magical connection linked them together, which followed some rule of this sort of a malicious power Upanishad.

As Shi Yan thought, the islands that represented the eight evil powers with their marks slowly moved up, revolving around the devouring black hole. Shi Yan's clone observed the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin while his host body began to re-arrange the islands…

Gradually, his eight islands were arrayed exactly like the appearance of the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin. When they were in their positions, they started revolving around it.

BOOM!

A vehement vibe came from the seals of the eight evil powers and the Devouring power Upanishad. It seemed that the Devouring power Upanishad and the eight powers had become one at that moment. They supported each other as the Devouring power being the major power and the other eight being the minor powers; they were actually one Power Upanishad.

Shi Yan suddenly understood everything, and the knots he had regarding the Devouring Power Upanishad, as well as the many difficult problems he found in his Power Upanishads, were now clear to him. He had understood the connection and support between the Devouring power Upanishad and the eight evil powers thoroughly.

The host body was on the way, but his power Upanishad had sublimated, his understanding of Devouring and the eight evil powers finally reaching a whole new level!

This was all because his clone had arrived at the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin area first. He had observed the arrangement of the Devouring power Upanishad and the eight evil powers, rearranging them in his soul. His simple simulation had granted him the marvel he couldn't describe, opening a whole new world of explanations of Power Upanishads.

As one went through, hundreds would follow!

He seemed to be enlightened. A flash came to him and he got a new and amazing idea, a new way!

If he imprinted the Life, Star, Space, and Devour to his different clones that would make one clone have only one power Upanishad, would he be able to get the Power Upanishad Origin like Mei Ji?

As soon as this thought emerged, he became excited while his soul was greatly enlightened! The difficulty that had troubled him was solved. His soul shivered in thrill, and he couldn't wait to try it.

His clones were made of his Absolute Beginning blood as the body and wisps of his souls as the brain. If he could send them parts of his Sea of Consciousness and soul power, his clones wouldn't be much different from his host body. However, the host body would be stronger than the clones.

They were still only one person in nature!

Could he take any Power Upanishad Origin then?

As soon as this door opened to him, he finally saw hope. He thought that this possibility had a high rate of success, which cheered him up.

Meanwhile, all the clones gathered and moved forward.

A clone flew toward him from a distance, then they flew shoulder by shoulder toward the Devouring Power Upanishad Origin. The two Shi Yans turned around to face each other as the host body's eyes sparkled with a dark but wise light.

The Devouring power Upanishad and the eight islands of the eight evil powers flew out of the host body's head, bringing a part of the Sea of Consciousness and the soul power to the clone.

As if magic, there was nothing hindering the process. The marks of the Devouring power Upanishad and the eight evil powers were imprinted directly into the clone's head without any rejection.

Shi Yan was shaken hard because his first attempt had been unexpectedly smooth!

"Open the door, open acupuncture points…"

Mumbling to himself, the acupuncture points of the clone suddenly emitted the strange energy fluctuation. As soon as it emerged, both Shi Yan himself and the clone were shaken hard.

He had a magical feeling he couldn't describe!

The acupuncture points of the host body and the clone resonated, and the host body's territory was even copied. It slowly hovered above the clone's head like an illusion.

Separating a part of his Sea of Consciousness and the soul power, making the Devouring power Upanishad and the eight evil powers as the main power in the tier of power Upanishad, with the upper level having the wisp of soul…

What else made it different from the host body?

It was another self of his!

"Hahahaha!" The host body and the clone laughed at the same time, which was joyful and excited. He was around 80% sure he would be able to fuse with a Power Upanishad Origin now!
