Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 187 Which One is Real?

"Well done!" Zi Dong shouted excitedly, swinging his golden fist to meet the dark fist of the Palace Master Ji Xuan directly.

With a loud "boom," the two men were sent flying simultaneously, one upwards and the other downwards.

Zi Dong nearly collapsed to the ground, rubbing his aching right fist. He glanced at the Palace Master Ji Xuan, who had disappeared into the horizon, and then teleported back to his original position.

“Donglai Ziqi, when did this guy become so powerful?!” Zi Dong asked through gritted teeth.

"He possessed a demonic cultivator at the first level of the Supreme Realm, and he pushed his devouring power to the extreme. You're already pretty lucky you weren't killed!" Donglai Ziqi said gloatingly.

"Why didn't you say so sooner?!" Zi Dong was furious. The purple aura from the east was far stronger than his perception.

"With me here, you won't die!" Donglai Ziqi didn't take it seriously at all.

"Then what should we do? Are we going to use Haoyun Arrows?" Zi Dong was somewhat unwilling.

Once the Haoyun Arrow is used, Palace Master Jixuan and the others will immediately flee, leaving Zidong with no way to cultivate.

"If you refine your righteous energy a bit more, it will be enough to deal with him," said Donglai Ziqi.

To condense righteous energy to its ultimate level, one needs even more luck.

Zi Dong would naturally not be stingy with his luck; he could obtain enough luck from Palace Master Ji Xuan.

He simply didn't want to waste it; luck is extremely useful, and using too much luck wouldn't achieve the desired effect of cultivation.

However, facing the even more powerful Palace Master Jixuan, Zidong had no choice but to use it.

At this moment, the Palace Master Jixuan, who was recovering in the clouds high in the sky, was in a much worse state than Zidong.

The demon cultivator possessed by him had his right hand completely destroyed, and even his forearm was a bloody mess.

"When did this guy become so strong!" Palace Master Jixuan cursed angrily, suppressing the possessed cultivator's soul, which was screaming in pain, and immediately began to recover.

Although the demon, monster, and witch races do not have any elixirs, they each have their own methods for healing.

The demon race heals and recovers by absorbing the blood and flesh of cultivators, while the witch race relies on refining Gu worms.

The demon race relies on its powerful devouring ability, which allows it to devour not only others but also itself!

The cultivators from the demon, monster, and witch races were all enveloped in golden light, and Palace Master Jixuan dared not devour them indiscriminately.

Cultivation was too slow to heal injuries, and Palace Master Jixuan still had to fight Zidong, so she could only devour the flesh and blood of the possessed demon cultivators.

"Awooo!" The demon cultivator possessed by the Palace Master of Jixuan Palace let out a miserable wail in his consciousness.

He was still enduring the pain of his severed hand, but then the Palace Master of Jixuan devoured the flesh and blood from his buttocks and thighs. How could he bear it?

Palace Master Jixuan ignored him completely, quickly restored her severed hand, and immediately rushed towards Zi Dong.

What does it matter how many demon cultivators we lose, as long as we kill Zi Dong?!

After Palace Master Jixuan was beaten and sent flying, Palace Master Xing Fei and Palace Master Bai Jie both hid to the side and watched.

Because they didn't know whether Zi Dong or Palace Master Ji Xuan would win or lose, and if Palace Master Ji Xuan were killed by Zi Dong, they wouldn't dare to risk their lives against Zi Dong again.

Although they were powerful cultivators, their spiritual senses were not as strong as Zi Dong's within the righteous aura, so none of them dared to act rashly.

Seeing Palace Master Jixuan rushing towards Zidong with renewed vigor, Palace Master Xingfei and Palace Master Baijie immediately followed.

Zi Dong was surprised that Palace Master Ji Xuan recovered so quickly, so he quickly had Donglai Purple Qi condense into a clone to fight the enemy.

"I'll help you condense two clones; you can deal with them yourself!" Donglai Ziqi refused. "Donglai Ziqi, the clones you helped me condense are only at the Void Breaking Realm, right? How can they possibly defeat them?"

Zi Dong was unsure of himself, as the clones of Palace Master Ji Xuan and the others were at the First Grade Supreme Realm, a whole level higher than them!

[With enough righteous energy to control my clone, I can deal with them. Let's get ready to fight!] Donglai Ziqi was full of confidence.

Just as the three palace masters of Jixuan Palace were about to rush towards Zi Dong, all the golden light suddenly contracted rapidly towards Zi Dong.

The cultivators from the Central Continent were all taken aback, worried that Zi Dong might unleash some powerful move, while the cultivators from the Demon, Monster, and Witch races were overjoyed.

Righteousness is the sword of Damocles; Zi Dong can take their lives at any time!
However, the cultivators of the demon, monster, and witch races did not rush towards Zi Dong; instead, they retreated to the outer perimeter.

They didn't want to be shrouded in righteousness any longer; they preferred to let the people of the Central Continent fight Zi Dong to the death.

Although the Palace Master of Jixuan Palace and the others did not escape, they also did not continue to rush towards Zidong.

The righteous aura no longer enveloped them; instead, it gathered around Zi Dong, like a giant golden egg!

"Palace Master Jixuan, what should we do?" Palace Master Xingfei, who was rather impatient, quickly asked via telepathy.

"Wait!" The demon cultivator possessed by the projection of the Palace Master Jixuan endured the pain and said with a solemn expression.

"Palace Master Jixuan, what is Zidong preparing? We should attack him immediately before he is ready!"

Palace Master Bai Jie observed for a while and became increasingly worried, so she quickly made a suggestion.

"The righteous energy has solidified; how can we break through it?!" Palace Master Jixuan asked, somewhat annoyed.

"Then let's wait a bit!" Palace Master Xing Fei stared at the golden egg for a while, then had no choice but to say helplessly.

Waiting is agonizing, especially when facing unknown dangers; it's a life-or-death ordeal!

From the sunrise in the morning, to the midday sun when it reaches its zenith, and then to the afterglow of the sunset.

The golden egg enveloping Zi Dong continuously shone with seven-colored light, and finally, in the afterglow of the setting sun, three glittering Zi Dong emerged from the fiery red golden egg.

"Which one is real?!" Palace Master Xing Fei asked telepathically, fully alert.

"I can't tell!" Palace Master Bai Jie shook her head nervously, her fists clenched tightly.

"One for each of us!" Palace Master Jixuan gritted her teeth and led her people straight towards Zi Dong on the opposite side.

With a "boom," just as Palace Master Jixuan rushed out, the golden egg behind Zidong suddenly exploded, and golden light surged towards Palace Master Jixuan and the other two.

With a "whoosh," the three Zi Dongs also rushed towards the three Palace Masters of Ji Xuan Palace along with the golden light.

"Bang, bang, bang..." Countless muffled sounds immediately came from within the golden light, and figures flew out one after another from within the golden light.

"Ah, ah, ah..." screams continued to emanate from the golden light, frightening the demon, monster, and witch cultivators on the ground into fleeing to the outer perimeter once again.

"Retreat!" Palace Master Jixuan exchanged several punches with a purple dragon. Although her fists were not destroyed, her entire body was eroded by the righteous energy.

Palace Master Xing Fei and Palace Master Bai Jie were similar to Palace Master Ji Xuan; their reactions were even faster. After receiving the telepathic message, they immediately fled into the sky.

Zi Dong did not give chase. Instead, he summoned his two clones back to his side and sat cross-legged in the air, cultivating with a sense of satisfaction.

He reaped great rewards this time, as both of his clones were also helping him cultivate; this is the power of the Eastern Purple Qi.

Starlight was already shining within Zi Dong's space, and the star power within his body was continuously gathering into the space.

This is the most crucial step. As long as more star power enters the space from within his body, he will be able to condense enough stars to form a star map!
