Douluo's self has a soul beast clone

"Let's begin!"

Seeing nothing unusual around him, Li Chang'an immediately began to modify the demon realm core before him, that dazzling, colorful tree.

As vast and surging demonic power stirred, the laws of time descended upon this place. With his current strength, nearing the late stage of the God-King realm, modifying a mere small world was naturally a simple matter.

According to his will, the dazzling, colorful tree representing the demon realm core began to twist and deform. Affected by this, the space of the outside demon realm also transmitted subtle vibrations!

"Strange, why is there an earthquake in the demon realm?"

Only powerful demons could vaguely sense this vibration. After carefully investigating and discovering that it was some kind of natural phenomenon, they stopped dwelling on it and continued with their own affairs.

Li Chang'an was now fully focused, expanding and modifying the demon realm while trying not to affect its operation… Halfway through, even with his current mid-stage God-King realm, he felt somewhat lacking in stamina.

Fortunately, he wasn't fighting alone.

Far away in the God Realm, his main body was continuously pouring vast divine power into him through a mysterious connection!

As soon as it entered his body, it naturally transformed from divine power into demonic power, making up for his consumption.

There was an extremely close connection between Li Chang'an's clone and main body. The principle behind this kind of long-distance power transfer was similar to exchanging something from the left hand to the right hand, and naturally there would be no obstacles.

Of course, this was limited to transferring divine power to replace consumption. It was impossible for the clone to directly transmit cultivation to the main body, allowing the main body to break through to the late stage of the God-King realm on the spot. This was impossible. Cultivation was fundamental, and power was just something that could be replenished at any time after consumption. The two should not be confused.

Moreover, at his realm, wanting to improve his strength was no longer just about accumulating power, but about comprehending the laws of the universe.

If comprehension was insufficient, no matter how much power was accumulated, it would just be like an inflated balloon that would burst when poked! Vulnerable to a single blow.

With the divine power support from the main body, the Dragon God clone's pressure was greatly relieved, and he continued to carefully refine the demon realm core… Soon, the main body's divine power supply was also running low.

'I didn't expect that modifying a small world would be so much more difficult than I imagined!' Li Chang'an thought with embarrassment. He had really been too confident this time. According to his estimation, if he wanted to complete the modification of the demon realm core in one go, he would need to have at least a late-stage God-King realm cultivation, or perhaps even higher.

But now he was in a dilemma. The modification had already begun, and if he gave up halfway, who knew what unpredictable and terrifying effects it would have on the demon realm core.

'Fortunately, I still have a granary that can be replenished at any time!'

Li Chang'an smiled inwardly, and his main body in the God Realm began to exert its strength, using the divine palace to absorb the scattered immortal spiritual energy of the God Realm to replenish consumption, transforming it into divine power and transmitting it continuously…

Using the immortal spiritual energy of the God Realm to support the growth of the God Realm's opponent.

If the five God-Kings knew about this operation, they would probably be so angry that they vomited blood.

With the supply from the God Realm's granary, the Dragon God clone was finally able to wield his demonic power without any scruples and recklessly modify the core!

He didn't know how long had passed.

Li Chang'an didn't know how much immortal spiritual energy he had absorbed, only that it was a lot. He felt that even the concentration of immortal spiritual energy around him seemed to have decreased a little.

This operation would undoubtedly attract the attention of the gods in the God Realm, and the five God-Kings would definitely come to question him to see what was going on. Fortunately, Li Chang'an had already made a plan, which should be enough to fool them.

He absorbed for another period of time.

The Dragon God clone finally no longer needed divine power. The transformation was nearing completion and was about to be finished.

The main body in the God Realm also stopped absorbing at the right time. Then, he unscrupulously released his mid-stage God-King aura, allowing the five God-Kings who had been waiting outside the God Realm to sense it… This was the reason he gave, a sudden enlightenment, a breakthrough in realm! Successfully advancing from the early stage to the mid-stage!

Although he had broken through to the mid-stage realm a long time ago, he had never shown it, but had been silently making a fortune, always acting as if he was hovering in the early stage. Now that he suddenly showed signs of breaking through to the mid-stage, it would not arouse suspicion at all. After all, who would have thought that he could improve his strength so quickly.

Sure enough, after sensing the powerful aura he released.

The five God-Kings outside the divine palace sent messages to congratulate him. Congratulating him on taking it to the next level!

Li Chang'an pretended to have just broken through, responded with a few words, and then used the excuse that he needed to stabilize his realm and could not entertain them, and would make it up to them in the future. The five God-Kings expressed their understanding, said they would get together another day, and then dispersed.

"Phew, I finally fooled them."

Li Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief. If he hadn't used the breakthrough in strength as an excuse, he would have been suspected of absorbing the immortal spiritual energy of the God Realm so blatantly. At that time, the relationship between the clone and the main body might be exposed. Or it might make the five God-Kings think that he was doing something behind their backs.

In that case, he would probably be watched overtly and covertly no matter what he did.

Fortunately, he was far-sighted and always knew the principle of hiding his strength. Now he could use it to fool them.

On the other side, among the five God-Kings who had returned, a voice transmission exchange was taking place.

"Judging by his aura, he is not much different from me now."

"Now that he has enough strength, it seems that it is time to return those things to him."

After sensing that Li Chang'an's strength was now on par with theirs, the five God-Kings discussed it and decided to return the part of his resources that they had temporarily managed on his behalf.

It can only be said that whether they are gods or humans, as long as they have emotions and desires, they are still bound to be worldly.

……

Demon Realm Core Area.

At this time, the original dazzling and colorful leafless tree had disappeared. It was replaced by a mysterious hourglass!

The main body of this hourglass was woven, intertwined, and fused from some kind of tree root. The upper and lower triangles were connected. In the transparent container, you could see grains of sand of different colors slowly flowing from the upper triangle into the lower triangle… However, no matter how much sand the bottom triangle received, it never seemed to fill up. The triangle above, where the quicksand flowed, never seemed to decrease in the amount of sand, no matter how much sand was left.

In fact, quicksand was just an appearance. In reality, these sands represented time. And the flow rate of the sand represented the flow rate of time.

Li Chang'an could control the flow rate of the sand in this time hourglass to adjust the speed of time relative to the outside world.
