Chapter 454: Magical Clone

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"Where is... this?"

As soon as the young Extreme Darkness came to, she realised that she was already in a palace-looking building.

There were four white tall pillars around. Chains stretched from the pillars and restrained her in the middle.

"Don't try to struggle!"

Before her, Fang Yuan stood calmly. "I have already cast an array which will deplete the spiritual droplets around you, and another array outside. Even a Divine Returning Grade being will find it hard to escape."

"What do you want to do with me?"

Extreme Darkness quickly evaluated the situation she was in and calmly spoke to Fang Yuan in an attempt to discuss the conditions. "I know... you are not a powerful being in your own world. In my consciousness, I have a lot of memories and I can trade them with you... no! As long as you don't kill me, I can give all of these to you!"

"I am indeed interested in all these information. However, I can obtain all these information from you myself. Why do I have to trade with you?"

Fang Yuan snickered and stretched out his palm.

"Mmmmm!"

His palm was as smooth as jade and felt cold to the touch as he placed it on Extreme Darkness's forehead.

With that, the young girl's face was filled with an agonising pain as a weird look flashed across in her eyes.

The feeling of being searched through the soul was akin to someone smashing her skull open to forcefully open it before stirring the contents with a metal spoon.

"I know..."

After a few moments, Fang Yuan finally spoke. "You must have a ruthless strategy which can damage Extreme Darkness's soul. Therefore, you assume that I will let you live, right?"

"This is not good!"

A hue of silver flashed in the young Extreme Darkness's eyes.

At that moment, her consciousness started to shake and her mind started to expand, making her 10 times more powerful than her usual ability!

This was her killer move. It was a special ability which she did not know where she had absorbed it from. The effect of this ability would be to make her 10 times more powerful than usual by rendering her weak for the next three days. Although the effects would only last for a few minutes, it would be enough for her to do whatever she wanted.

Although this ability could only amplify the powers of the original mutant who had it by a little, it was a killer move for the Demon Weapon to protect her own consciousness.

This was one of the plans she had while she was fleeing from Fang Yuan.

Why could she still use this ability even after being restricted by the array?

This was because after receiving Extreme Darkness's memories and techniques, she had achieved a breakthrough in the limits of her special ability and began on her path of cultivation.

Although she was extremely weak now, she was still able to activate this small special ability of hers.

However, it was a pity that because of what Fang Yuan said, she could no longer stick to the original plan and unknowingly activated it at this point in time.

"Rumble!"

As a powerful 4th Tier mutant, even though Fang Yuan had a steadfast will with a clear mind, under such a powerful mind influence from the Demon Weapon, Fang Yuan's will collapse without a fight and left his consciousness.

Seeing this, Extreme Darkness appeared confused.

Her initial plan was to take the opportunity to counter-attack and channel all her mind powers into Fang Yuan's consciousness to destroy him!

However, since Fang Yuan was prepared, he would surely temporarily cut off ties with his mind. After the powerful blow, she would become helpless against Fang Yuan's attack.

Even so, she still glared ever so fiercely at Fang Yuan as though she was a female wolf looking at her prey.

"The resemblance... is uncanny!"

After Fang Yuan's ploy to make Extreme Darkness execute her killer move had worked, he gazed at the pale face before him and was stunned. "This look resembles Elder Extreme Darkness to a tee... Little girl, do you know what caused this?"

"Caused this?"

The young Extreme Darkness started to turn frenzy.

Suddenly, in her collection of memories, a figure appeared which slowly became increasingly clear.

That was...

Tears welled up in her eyes as fear filled her face. "No... save me!"

"Cough..."

Witnessing this scene, Fang Yuan was utterly speechless. "Even such a weak magical clone of Elder Extreme Darkness is not something which can be easily defeated... even if I were to become careless and fall into your trap, I can still survive in your consciousness... But now that you are helpless, do you feel that your memories are becoming clearer and clearer? Don't think about it. The more you think about her, the easier that will would be able to reproduce on you!"

The more Fang Yuan mentioned about it, the worse the situation became.

As he mentioned the memories, the young girl would involuntarily think about it. She would think about the beautiful and captivating deity-like lady.

Furthermore, the scattered memories started to come together as though they had come to life. They were all fighting to control her as they made the silhouette of the lady clearer and clearer.

"No... I don't want to turn into another person, save me!"

Two streaks of tears rolled down her face and splattered as they fell to the ground.

With that, the young girl shut her eyes forcefully. In the next moment, as soon as she opened them, her expression changed. She now appeared calm and composed, which would strike fear in anyone who saw her.

"Fang Yuan!"

Her cold but composed voice made it feel as though the young girl in front of Fang Yuan was a changed person.

She was no longer the Demon Weapon, but the actual high-tiered Illusionary Divine dream master in the Da Qian world, Elder Extreme Darkness!"

"Let me go!"

With that, Elder Extreme Darkness spoke calmly as she demanded her release.

"I'm sorry... I cannot do it!"

Fang Yuan hugged himself and snickered.

"How dare you! Are you intending to be disrespectful?"

Elder Extreme Darkness gazed at Fang Yuan with an intent to kill. "Members of the Realm Alliance cannot kill each other. It seems like you are intending to betray the alliance! Do you want the Sage to go after you?"

"Hehe..."

Seeing this, Fang Yuan remained unmoved and even had a mocking expression on his face.

"Fang Yuan... If you release me, I shall owe you a favour. Once we return, I shall make it up to you. How's that?"

Seeing how Fang Yuan reacted, Elder Extreme Darkness changed her tone.

"Are you... really Elder Extreme Darkness?"

Fang Yuan finally said something which made Elder Extreme Darkness change her expression. "As dream masters, we dream-traverse and if our possessed bodies are harmed, our True Spirits would be damaged but we would immediately return to our own bodies. I've never heard of instances where one can leave their magical clone behind."

"This is a unique occurrence and I am trapped by this body. Fortunately, I was able to hold on to a shred of my own consciousness to remain aware of everything..."

As Elder Extreme Darkness continued, her voice became increasingly low-pitched as though she knew that even a kid would not believe her. With that, she became impatient. "Tell me, what do you want? No matter how weak I am, I am still a magical clone of my true self. Do you still want to harm me? Are you not afraid that my true self will realise it and deal with you afterwards?"

"Oh, is that so? I'm so afraid!"

Fang Yuan snapped his fingers and the array started to increase in its power.

Elder Extreme Darkness, who was trapped in the middle, felt even more stress on her shoulders as she started to kneel down. "What do you want?"

She had no idea how important this world was to Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan had already decided to himself that he would kill anyone who would interfere with his plans, even if a Sage were to enter the realm!

"I'm afraid that... you're just unlucky!"

Even though Fang Yuan had her under complete control, he was still cautious.

This was an actual magical clone of Elder Extreme Darkness and was different from the previous young girl. She would know all of Elder Extreme Darkness's secret spells and Fang Yuan had to make sure that nothing would go wrong.

To think about it, it was Elder Extreme Darkness's misfortune.

With her ability, she could possess anyone in the realm and would still stay safe.

However, her impatience made her tempted to choose the clone body of herself which was extremely suitable for her to possess.

After all, because of the restrictions of this realm, even a Sage would have to start his cultivation from the bottom, which was an extremely arduous process. Not everyone had Fang Yuan's special ability to possess fixed stats and therefore achieve breakthroughs without considerations.

Elder Extreme Darkness had already suffered a blow to her True Spirit once. Now, she was possessing a 4th Tier mutant. Even so, Elder Extreme Darkness could still pull it off and survive.

However, never would she have thought that after the Demon Weapon had absorbed all sorts of special ability, it would obtain an ability to increase its own mind power to turn the tables around.

This second blow would cause even more damage to her True Spirit and therefore, she would naturally return to her own body in Da Qian.

However, her soul was being trapped within the Demon Weapon. Since she was unwilling to let the Demon Weapon benefit from her knowledge, she entered into a deep slumber.

Now that the Demon Weapon was weakened, she could finally take control of it to create trouble.

"A cloned magical clone with a piece of soul from the owner and scattered memories... the result is an uncontrollable magical clone, is that right? Elder Extreme Darkness?"

Fang Yuan placed emphasis on the last few words as he mocked her.

Dream-traversing was still extremely dangerous.

Even a person as powerful as an Illusionary Divine dream master could fail twice and create an uncontrollable magical clone.

As soon as the magical clone matured, it would surely find ways to enter Da Qian world to absorb the true owner and become one with it!

"I am confused... if I destroy your magical clone, will your true self hate me or be thankful?"

Fang Yuan smiled before stretching out his palm. "Now, it's time for you to convince me. What value do you have?"

"..."

After an awkward silence, Extreme Darkness's magical clone finally spoke. "Although my true self had programmed for me to destroy my memories as soon as possession fails, I am still a magical clone of her and you can even consider me as a part of her. Therefore, my memories are not wiped out and I still have most of it... I have the secrets of Da Qian, powerful secret techniques and even the plans of the Realm Alliance. I can tell you all of these."

"Very well!"

Fang Yuan clapped his hands. "You know how to adapt when the tables have turned! Finally, how do you intend on allowing me to trust you?"
