Chapter 4888
Myriad Transformations Mirror Heart!
"Die!"
Xi's low roar exploded like a thunderclap.
At the same time, his aura began to rise steadily. It was not the flow of star vein power, but the power of the ancestral vein that began to boil!
Of the 79 million star veins, only seven ancestral veins can ultimately converge.
However, around Xi, there was an eighth blurry phantom.
That is the eighth ancestral vein that is about to be formed.
hum-
In an instant, the river water beneath Xi's feet dipped downwards, forming a huge bowl-shaped eddy.
Golden light emanated from eight ancestral meridians in his brow, chest, and limbs, faintly weaving behind him to form the phantom of a majestic giant god.
The phantom figure held a long sword; though indistinct, it exuded a breathtakingly sharp edge.
That was the original form of the primordial spirit, formed by the power of the ancestral veins. To achieve this without being able to unleash the power of creation was already quite extraordinary.
After all, without the protection of the Creation Realm, such a frenzied release of ancestral power would undoubtedly result in enormous losses.
"Xiaofeng, step back!"
Without turning his head, Xi gave a low shout, and the next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
His speed was so fast that he tore through the air and water in an instant, leaving behind a sonic boom ring that lingered for a long time and towering waves that parted to both sides!
Almost at the same instant that Xi disappeared, the Mirror of Corrosion, which had been standing silently in the heart of the river, moved.
Its eerie green flame pupils shifted slightly, locking onto the trajectory of Xi's attack.
It did not dodge; of its eight hanging arms, the two at the top suddenly rose up and crossed in front of its chest.
The arms were also covered with a dense layer of mirror-like scales.
boom!!!
In the blink of an eye, Xi's fist, like a golden meteor, slammed into those crossed arms!
The terrifying impact, like a thunderclap, instantly drowned out the roar of the entire River of No Return!
Visible golden-black shockwaves spread wildly in all directions, evaporating the river water into nothingness wherever they passed, revealing the bottomless riverbed below, which was then filled by even more turbulent water in the next moment!
Even though Ling Feng had already retreated to a distance, he was still thrown into the water by the aftershocks of the impact, rolling around several times, his chest heaving with blood and qi.
This level of combat is completely beyond his ability to intervene.
He looked on in horror and saw Xi's figure appear at the center of the collision. His right fist was slamming solidly into the crossed arms of the Mirror Mirror Demon.
The Mirror Demon's massive body was pushed back about a hundred paces by this immense force, but its crossed arms only bent slightly inward, and the mirror-like scales on its surface shimmered for a moment, instantly neutralizing Xi Na's earth-shattering attack.
Ling Feng's eyes widened. This was the... power of adaptation that his godfather had mentioned before?
The moment it was attacked by Xi's power, the Mirror-Eroding Demon's adaptive power began to activate.
Once it has fully adapted to this power, any attack of the same type and attribute will become ineffective.
"Roar!"
The Mirror-Eroding Demon let out a low roar, a roar filled with chaos, greed, and even a hint of... mockery!
The next moment, its arms, which were blocking its chest, suddenly jerked outwards, and then its other six arms, like cannonballs, slammed into Xi's chest.
boom!
A violent force surged upwards against the current, and Xi's figure flew backwards in response. However, while in mid-air, he forcefully twisted his waist and held his hands in front of his chest.
hum!
hum!
hum!
Three points of black light instantly condensed in his palm!
That was not an ordinary singularity formed from the condensation of the breath of creation, but a "spiritual breath singularity" compressed to the extreme, with the spiritual breath nurtured by the ancestral vein as its core.
Within each singularity, it seemed as if a supergiant star about to explode was imprisoned, emanating an aura of unparalleled terror.
"go with!"
Xi spread his arms, and three spiritual singularities formed a triangular shape, silently shooting towards the face, chest, and lower abdomen of the Mirror-Eroding Demon!
Flames flickered in the Mirror Mirror Demon's eerie green eyes, as if it had "seen" the trajectory of the singularity.
However, it did not block it.
The most complete mirror-like scale in the center of its chest suddenly shone with a dazzling emerald green light!
Within the light, the reflections of the three incoming spiritual singularities were revealed.
call out!call out!call out!
In an instant, three pitch-black singularities, exactly the same as the spiritual energy singularities shot out by Xi, shot out directly from the mirror scales on its chest, precisely aligning with the three that Xi had released!
boom!
Rumble!!!
The six spiritual singularities collided at the center of the river. Instantly, an extreme darkness expanded outwards, engulfing everything and even "wiping away" the river water at the point of collision, forming an absolutely void spherical domain!
A moment later, the darkness contracted and dissipated.
The river water surged back in with a deafening roar, and at the center of the collision, the Mirror Demon still stood tall. The light on the mirror scales on its chest dimmed slightly, but it returned to normal in an instant.
This also means that it has adapted to Xi's attacks.
The next moment, it raised an arm and stretched it out in front of it, palm facing up.
Under Ling Feng's shocked gaze, a spiritual singularity exactly the same as the one Xi had condensed before was slowly rotating above his palm, instantly taking shape!
It not only perfectly replicated Xi's attack, but also mastered it in such a short time and was able to condense it on its own!
This is its innate ability, like a mirror image.
Just like a mirror can reflect everything, it's not because it's so powerful, but because it has an innate talent.
"Did you see that, Xiaofeng!"
Xi's voice came through, tinged with bitterness and boundless hatred, "This is its ability! The Myriad Transformations Mirror Heart on its chest can reflect, analyze, adapt to, and replicate all energy and forms that affect it! Once it successfully adapts to something, the same attack will no longer pose any threat to it, and may even become a weapon for it to retaliate against you!"
Ling Feng's heart sank to the bottom.
Although he had already learned about the monster's abilities from Xi, seeing it with his own eyes still seemed unbelievable.
Xi's power was definitely ten or even a hundred times greater than his own, but his attacks were almost instantly adapted to by the Mirror Mirror Demon.
Even if he could naively believe that the Mirror Mirror Demon's adaptation had some kind of upper limit, at least this was not an upper limit that he could break through at the moment.
Moreover, the abilities copied by the Mirror Mirror Demon were even improved to some extent.
This is like facing a perfect version of yourself that is unharmed.
How is this played?
"Xiaofeng, observe this battle carefully. Next, I will use all my strength to create opportunities for you! If you can find this beast's weakness, we can win!"
Xi's voice suddenly rose, carrying a resolute madness, "Our lives are in your hands!"
Before he finished speaking, Xi's figure moved again.
"Godfather..."
Ling Feng clenched his fists tightly, shifting his gaze from Xi's back to the Mirror-Eroding Demon.
flaw!
flaw!
Where exactly is the weakness of this Mirror-Eroding Demon?!
At the same time, Xi had already activated the power of his ancestral veins and was once again fighting the Mirror-Eroding Demon.
This time, he did not use the singularity to attack. Once the Mirror Mirror Demon adapts to a certain ability, it becomes meaningless no matter how many times its power increases.
The attack from the Spirit Singularity is now completely ineffective.
Whoosh whoosh!
His figure left countless golden afterimages in the air, moving at high speed around the massive body of the Mirror-Eroding Demon like a ghost.
The Mirror-Eroding Demon swung its eight arms, creating a flurry of afterimages and raging torrents of water as it tried to grab Xi.
Eight arms intertwined, forming an impenetrable barrier with virtually no blind spots. However, Xi's speed was too fast, and her timing was incredibly precise. She could always slip through the gaps between the arms at the last second.
Although Xi was still extremely angry, he had to try his best to restrain himself and not launch a blind attack.
Otherwise, the more abilities the Mirror Erosion Demons adapt to, the more desperate their situation will become.
"drink!"
Suddenly, Xi appeared on the left side of the Mirror-Eroding Demon, which was one of the blind spots where its arm could swing.
He compressed the power of his ancestral veins to an extreme degree, condensing it into the tip of his palm, forming a pure and ultimate "palm blade" that slashed down fiercely.
Singularity's attack was ineffective; he could only use his purest power to break through the Mirror Mirror Demon's defense!
The palm strike fell silently, slicing straight down on the relatively fine mirror-like scales under the Mirror-Eroding Demon's ribs!
The Mirror Mirror Demon reacted with astonishing speed. A thick arm, as if defying the laws of joints, bent back at an odd angle, its five fingers spread wide, revealing sharp bone claws, and reached for Xi's head.
This is precisely the attack on what the enemy must defend!
But Xi seemed to have anticipated this. His body suddenly sank as he moved at high speed, narrowly avoiding the claw that could have crushed his head. At the same time, his palm strike increased in speed by three points and slammed into the scale.
laugh--
A piercing sound, like metal scraping violently, rang out. In an instant, a dense mass of scales, like snowflakes, fell down, bringing with it a splash of almost dark green blood.
Did it work?
Ling Feng's spirits lifted; Xi's attack had finally wounded the Mirror-Eroding Demon!
But the next moment, as the mirror scales on the Mirror Demon's chest flashed with emerald light, the wound under its ribs also began to regenerate and heal rapidly, with emerald light flowing around it.
The glimmer of hope that Ling Feng had just ignited was instantly extinguished.
Yes, Xi only said that the Mirror Mirror Demon has the ability to adapt, but he didn't say that it can't get hurt.
Therefore, injuring the Mirror-Eroding Demon doesn't mean anything at all.
What's even more despairing is that the moment the Mirror Mirror Demon's wound heals, three arms appear on its back, each clenched into a blade, and slash fiercely at Xi's vital points.
Clearly, the Mirror Mirror Demon perfectly replicated Xi's attack, and returned it three times over!
With a swift swing of his palm, he tore through the river, unleashing a triple burst of blade energy that swept directly toward Xi with earth-shattering force!
Xi's expression changed drastically. He crossed his arms to protect his chest, and the power of his ancestral vein surged out wildly, forming a thick golden light shield in front of him.
boom!
boom!
boom!
In the blink of an eye, the triple blade strikes the light shield, which shatters like glass in less than half a breath.
The remaining force slammed solidly into Xi's crossed arms.
"puff!"
Xi grunted, spitting out a pale golden arrow of blood. His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, his arms exploding open and blood splattering down like a waterfall. Upon closer inspection, one could see that Xi could no longer clench his fists.
Both arms were trembling violently.
The Mirror-Eroding Demon, seizing the opportunity, pressed its advantage relentlessly. Its eight arms, whether fists, palms, or claws, moved simultaneously, each strike carrying a sharp, dark golden light.
That was the "palm knife" it copied from Xi, which it was now using on its eight arms. It was no longer bound by the form of fists and palms, but rather used them as if they were extensions of its own body, achieving complete mastery.
It is this kind of talent that is enough to make any intruder leave empty-handed.
In an instant, all eight arms shot out.
A deadly net, leaving no blind spots, was formed and began to envelop Xi!
Boom boom boom boom!!!
The river was completely boiling!
Xi was immediately plunged into an unprecedentedly fierce battle.
He could only push his agility to the limit, struggling to dodge the tangled web of blades from the eight arms.
But the wounds on his body were still growing rapidly.
He began to try different attack methods, but each time a new attack was reflected by the Mirror Demon's "Myriad Transformations Mirror Heart", it could then apply the attack back to Xi in a more perfect and powerful way.
As the battle dragged on, the situation deteriorated rapidly.
Xi's ancestral power is not inexhaustible. Once the ancestral power is completely exhausted, they will have no chance to turn the tide.
"Godfather!"
Ling Feng stared in horror, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
Although he can no longer activate the Emperor's Eye, his third vertical pupil has absorbed most of the abilities of the former Emperor's Eye.
Although he couldn't directly activate the Infinite Vision, his eyesight at this moment was still extraordinary.
But even now, with all three of his pupils bloodshot, he still couldn't find the slightest flaw.
He was unable to help Xi in battle, nor could he help Xi find the weaknesses of the Mirror-Eroding Demon.
perfect!
The monster's abilities were simply too perfect; the combination of its adaptability and replication was practically flawless.
No matter how you look at it, unless you can completely kill the Mirror-Eroding Demon with a single blow, once it has a chance to adapt, it will face an even more terrifying opponent.
But is that even possible?
Ling Feng's brain was working frantically, observing every movement of the Mirror-Eroding Demon, especially the pattern of light flashing from the "Myriad Transformations Mirror Heart" on its chest.
However, every link and every step was flawless.
Ling Feng felt bitter.
If we could open the Creation Realm, we might be able to crush the Mirror Mirror Demon from the level of laws, but this is the Eternal Ruins Realm!
All they can use now is their physical strength and the destructive power of the singularity.
No matter how you look at it, this seems like a battle that is destined to be lost.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Ling Feng pounded his head vigorously, trying his best not to be completely swallowed by despair.
My godfather is still holding on!
He still needs my help, so I can't give up no matter what!
But at that moment, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed!
As the saying goes, prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat. Under the relentless onslaught of the Mirror Mirror Demon, Xi finally began to falter.
laugh!
The Mirror-Eroding Demon's claws pierced through Xi's left shoulder, and with a sweep of the claws, blood splattered out, and half of Xi's shoulder was actually sliced off. (End of Chapter)
