These clones were a divine ability he had comprehended during his sudden enlightenment just now. Their attack power was not strong, but their auras were completely identical to his true body. As long as he split off a strand of spiritual power, he could control them. They were the best method for creating a diversion.
What he needed now was time, every second counted. This diversionary technique should be able to buy him a considerable amount of time.
Although these clones were not strong in strength, their speed was extremely fast, completely matching the speed of his true body.
This scene was reflected in the divine senses of the Sea God and the others, immediately causing them to become suspicious.
A few of them stopped, somewhat startled and uncertain.
"Damn it, this kid's methods are too strange. If it weren't for the fact that our divine senses have descended into mortal bodies and we can't fully unleash our strength, we would have already dealt with him long ago," the Fire God cursed and muttered.
"Can any of you sense which one is his true body?" the Nine-Colored Goddess, who had possessed Ning Rongrong's body, asked.
Everyone fell silent, all feeling somewhat ashamed.
It was too damn humiliating. Not only had the Seven Great Gods failed to catch up to a single human, but now they were also left completely confused by the clones he had suddenly differentiated.
They had lived for countless years, and never before had they been as embarrassed as they were today.
The Sea God said in a deep voice, "That kid's true body and clones are all under the coverage of our divine senses. No matter how many clones there are, it's useless. We'll split up and pursue them, dealing with them one by one."
The others nodded and began to separate.
Jiang Chen's true body, at his original speed, would have needed a full day to reach Heaven Dou City.
But now that he had mastered the divine ability of Shrinking the Earth into Inches, he estimated he could cut the time by more than half. He could arrive in just half a day or so.
Because his clones were derived from his movement technique, their speed was the same as his true body's. Only when he stopped would these clones dissipate.
After half a day, his true body together with the clones would be spread across the entire continent.
The Sea God and the other six split up to chase. They were certain those clones would not last long before dissipating.
However, several hours passed, and the speed of these ten Jiang Chens still did not decrease in the slightest, nor did any of them show any sign of dissipating.
The Sea God and the others were almost driven to the point of madness.
They had split up to pursue, yet not a single one of them could catch up, and they could not even distinguish which one was Jiang Chen's true body.
Only then did Jiang Chen let out a breath of relief. The Sea God's side only had seven people, while his true body plus the clones totaled ten. By chance, his true body had not been pursued.
Although those clones would dissipate once his true body stopped, it was still enough to delay the Sea God and the others for a considerable period of time.
Jiang Chen had begun fleeing at noon and finally arrived near Heaven Dou City by nightfall.
He was heading for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Back then, he had once used the Eye of Heaven's Punishment to see two dragon corpses tens of thousands of meters long beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The pressure of that level was definitely of the god rank without a doubt.
At the time, the Asura God had even warned him that that place was not something he could covet.
Now, forced into a corner, he could only take the risk and barge in.
Only when he reached the Sunset Forest did Jiang Chen finally stop.
The moment he stopped, all ten figures, including his true body, dissipated simultaneously.
His true body appeared to dissipate, but in reality it transformed into a small insect, landing beneath a withered leaf and slowly burrowing into the ground. In that same instant, he stored his clothes in the system space.
He wanted to use this move to deceive the heavens and cross the sea, tricking the divine senses of the Sea God and the others.
He did not know whether it would work, but as long as there was even a sliver of hope, he would try.
The instant all ten of Jiang Chen's figures completely dissipated, the Sea God and the others all stopped.
Descending into mortal bodies placed too great a restriction on their strength.
In truth, by borrowing the bodies of the Shrek Seven Devils and using divine power to reinforce them, their speed had already broken into the god-rank category.
Unfortunately, under their pressure, Jiang Chen had achieved a breakthrough, and that kind of speed left them in the dust.
Throughout the pursuit, their divine senses had always been covering the ten figures of Jiang Chen.
Yet those ten figures had actually dissipated simultaneously, leaving them somewhat at a loss.
Their attention had been fixed entirely on Jiang Chen the whole time, so they had completely failed to notice that after Jiang Chen's true body disappeared, a small insect had appeared on the ground.
The seven of them conversed through divine sense.
"Sea God, didn't you leave a mark on him earlier? Sense where that kid is now," the Fire God asked.
The Sea God said, "I was only bluffing him earlier. I tried to separate a strand of divine sense and place it on him, but it inexplicably disappeared."
"Then what do we do now?" the God of Speed inside Zhu Zhuqing's body asked.
The Sea God said, "You all continue forward. Reach the place where he disappeared and search carefully. If you find nothing, then we will go check the other three places that were not pursued."
...
Inside Jiang Chen's system space, the flow of time here was the same as on the Douluo Continent. Bibi Dong had already been sitting on the grass waiting for ten hours.
The tears on her face had already dried, leaving only streaks of tear marks.
After Jiang Chen stored her here, he had never contacted her again, causing her heart to suffer endless torment.
She knew that although her disciple's talent was monstrous and his strength could be called the number one person on the Douluo Continent,
the ones hunting him were seven god-rank experts. Could he escape?
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong once again recalled the scene of Jiang Chen blocking that sword for her.
In this short half-day, that scene had already replayed countless times in her heart, and each time it made her soul tremble.
"Why… why were you so foolish…" Bibi Dong's tears flowed once more.
"I hate it so much. I hate that I'm useless. After so many years I still haven't successfully inherited the Rakshasa God. If I were already the Rakshasa God, you wouldn't have needed to protect me."
At this moment, Bibi Dong's heart was filled with endless self-reproach.
She hated her own weakness, hated her own uselessness.
She had come into contact with the Rakshasa God's inheritance more than twenty years ago, yet even now she had still not completed the inheritance.
She did not know that the Rakshasa God, just like the Sea God, was a first-level god, with strength only below that of the law-enforcement gods.
Moreover, the Rakshasa God's abilities were far too evil and bizarre, so the difficulty of the inheritance was much greater because of that.
Tears streamed down Bibi Dong's cheeks as she tilted her head and stared blankly upward.
She had already explored this space not long after entering.
The space was about three hundred meters in diameter. The edges were an eerie white mist that could not be broken through.
There were also clusters of white mist inside the space that seemed to be wrapping some items.
The sky overhead was also a thick layer of white mist, roughly a thousand meters away.
She had tried flying up before, but she could not break out either.
A space that could store items, her first thought was a soul tool.
But a space this large that could even store living beings was something she had never even heard of.
As time passed, the panic in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
So much time had already gone by. Could Jiang Chen already be dead?
And those Sea God fellows had not discovered this storage treasure, so they had not released her?
Her mind began to wander into wild thoughts, growing more and more panicked the more she thought.
Suddenly, her pretty face stiffened as she saw several pieces of clothing floating down from the sky.
Immediately afterward, she shot into the air and caught those clothes.
With one glance she recognized them as Jiang Chen's clothes. However, the clothes were tattered and torn, with many places missing.
Jiang Chen had delayed contacting her for so long, and now several pieces of clothing suddenly appeared, causing Bibi Dong's imagination to run wild.
"Little Chen, what exactly happened to you?" she murmured, unable to stop herself from grabbing Jiang Chen's clothes and taking several deep breaths. They still retained Jiang Chen's warmth and aura.
Her first thought was that Jiang Chen was already dead, and these clothes had been thrown in by the Sea God.
But she immediately rejected that idea.
If the Sea God had killed Jiang Chen, why would he throw the clothes in?
That did not conform to any logic.
Right after that, her eyes lit up as she recalled Jiang Chen's transformation divine ability.
"It must be that Little Chen transformed into some other object to hide from the Sea God's pursuit. It must be like that. Little Chen isn't dead yet."
At this moment, Bibi Dong was wildly excited, a smile of unprecedented happiness appearing on her face.
...
Outside, Jiang Chen had already changed his appearance once more, transforming into a pangolin and drilling toward the direction beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well at extreme speed.
The last time he had used the Eye of Heaven's Punishment to explore the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he had been unable to withstand the pressure emitted by those two giant dragons.
But now, his strength was far greater than before. This was the confidence that allowed him to dare to take the risk.
He did not know whether the Sea God and the others had noticed the pangolin he had transformed into, but he no longer cared about any of that. He went all out, drilling downward at the fastest possible speed.
More than ten minutes later, he had already entered several tens of thousands of meters underground, approaching that mysterious space.
The surrounding soil had all turned a deep red, as if dyed by blood.
Within the soil, two extreme types of energy were actually contained. This energy was extremely familiar to Jiang Chen.
He had once used the ice and fire energy above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to refine his body, and the two extreme energies within this soil were precisely ice and fire energy.
However, at a depth of several tens of thousands of meters, the ice and fire energy within the soil was extremely terrifying. It contained horrifying cold poison and fire poison that caused even Jiang Chen's already extremely powerful physique to feel pain.
Yet amid the pain, his body also automatically began absorbing the fire poison and cold poison within, further strengthening his Ice-Fire Immunity Body, and also reinforcing the corpse poison within him.
After descending another dozen or so meters, a layer of blood-red energy membrane appeared before him.
The aura emitted by this energy membrane alone made Jiang Chen feel a wave of palpitations.
He hesitated for an instant, then resolutely swung his claws downward.
His sharp claws stabbed into the membrane and actually pierced through it with ease. The black pangolin he had transformed into immediately fell downward.
After he entered, that layer of blood-colored energy membrane immediately restored itself to its original state.
Jiang Chen stabilized his form and swept his gaze across this space.
The space he was currently in was incomparably vast. The air was filled with a faint red mist.
He took a deep breath, and his entire body felt incomparably comfortable.
"This red mist is actually emitted by blood?" Jiang Chen looked over the entire space again in shock.
This space had a diameter of almost a hundred thousand meters. For such a vast space to be filled with this red mist, how immense an amount of blood would be required to form so much blood mist?
His gaze looked downward. Two enormous dragon corpses coiled on the ground below. Their length was conservatively estimated to reach several tens of thousands of meters.
Jiang Chen did not dare to imagine what level of strength these dragons of such massive size had possessed while alive.
These two divine dragons, one was entirely crimson, its scales like pieces of red-hot iron, emitting an extremely scorching aura.
The other was ice-blue, radiating endless icy coldness.
Both dragon corpses released extremely terrifying pressure that made Jiang Chen unable to stop his mind and spirit from trembling.
This was suppression on the level of life hierarchy. He had not yet evolved to that level, so it was normal to be suppressed under such circumstances.
He gritted his teeth, remembering that time was pressing, and began descending toward the ground below.
At the same time, he had already begun madly absorbing the blood mist floating within this space.
In a space nearly a hundred thousand meters in diameter, the blood mist contained within was so vast it was difficult to imagine.
Under his frenzied absorption, a blood-mist vortex immediately formed around his body.
The vortex spun larger and larger, gradually spreading outward.
Ten meters… a hundred meters… a thousand meters…
Such immense blood qi entered Jiang Chen's body and was rapidly absorbed by his physical body.
His entire body felt incomparably comfortable, and he was surprised to discover that as he absorbed this blood mist, the suppression the two dragon corpses exerted on him gradually weakened.
His zombie cultivation was rising at an unimaginable speed, the gap between it and his soul master cultivation growing smaller and smaller.
While descending, he also remained extremely vigilant, observing the surroundings and guarding against any unknown dangers that might appear at any time.
Only when he landed on the ground did he slightly let out a breath of relief.
Worried that the Sea God's divine sense might probe here, he still did not restore his human form. In the form of a pangolin, he crouched in the center between the two dragon corpses and madly absorbed the blood mist.
By now, the blood-mist vortex had already expanded to a diameter of ten thousand meters. Every second, vast amounts of blood essence entered Jiang Chen's body.
Suddenly, a sense of alarm arose in Jiang Chen's heart. Two powerful pressures suddenly appeared overhead.
He looked up and saw that within the blood-mist vortex, two small dragons one meter long had appeared, one red and one blue.
The bodies of the small dragons were somewhat illusory, yet the pressure they emitted nearly made Jiang Chen suffocate.
The two small dragons roared and charged toward him. That sound echoed directly within his mind, almost scattering his soul.
These were the souls of those two divine dragons? Or rather, remnant souls. Jiang Chen gained some understanding in his heart.
His mind and spirit were greatly alarmed. Under the lock of the two divine dragon remnant souls, there was nowhere to dodge.
The two dragon souls roared and charged straight into Jiang Chen's mind, wanting to directly extinguish his soul.
They did not know how Jiang Chen had entered this place, but daring to offend their corpses from when they were alive was unforgivable.
Jiang Chen's soul felt as if it were being torn apart. That kind of pain was something he had once experienced when condensing his soul master clone, it was simply unbearable.
However, very quickly, the Corpse Pill within his body moved once more.
The Corpse Pill slowly rotated, emitting a terrifying suction force that gradually pulled the dragon souls that had charged into Jiang Chen's mind toward it.
The originally furious roars of the two dragon souls suddenly vanished. Jiang Chen could clearly see the look of terror in their eyes as they struggled madly, wanting to escape his body.
Yet this Corpse Pill seemed to be their natural nemesis, pulling them in bit by bit.
Jiang Chen was somewhat stunned. He knew how powerful the previous owner of this Corpse Pill had been, it had once swallowed giant dragons.
But he had not expected that even a remaining Corpse Pill alone could leave these two dragon souls unable to resist.
He guessed that these two divine dragons must have been overlord-level existences within the God Realm while alive. Even as remnant souls, their power was terrifyingly strong.
Yet they were easily devoured by the Corpse Pill.
Seeing the one red and one blue dragon souls being swallowed by the Corpse Pill, Jiang Chen immediately became filled with anticipation.
Previously, when a god's divine sense had been swallowed by the Corpse Pill, it had then fed back pure energy to nourish his soul.
If the energy contained within these two dragon souls could also be absorbed by him, he could not imagine how powerful his soul would become.
To his anticipation, the Corpse Pill indeed did not disappoint him. It slowly rotated and sprayed out vast amounts of energy that charged straight into his mind.
