: The Creation of a Doppelganger

Standing atop Thunder Mountain, gazing at the vast Chaos City below, Wu Qingfeng was filled with fighting spirit. With three great innate secret techniques, two top-tier clone materials, the Dark Lord's meticulous guidance, and the blessing of a soul treasure and a top-tier secret technique, his foundation was now firmly established.

He raised his hand and stroked the World Ring, sensing the aura of the materials used to create his clone, a resolute light flashing in his eyes. Next, he would dedicate himself to nurturing his clone, simultaneously comprehending all the laws of the universe, honing his own foundation, and creating a secret technique at the level of a universe master. Once the clone was complete and the laws were fully understood, he would truly reveal his brilliance, forging his own invincible path in this world that devours the starry sky, protecting humanity, resisting the world beasts, and living up to the favor of the primordial universe's will and the cultivation of the Dark Lord.

After returning to his residence in Chaos City, Wu Qingfeng took out the Essence of Time Jade and the materials of the Void Flame Soul Emperor, suspended them in front of him, and slowly swept them over, already having a clear plan for their gestation in his mind.

He first sent the Essence of Time Jade into his inner world. As soon as the crystal-clear jade-colored crystal entered, it was surrounded by the power of the world. It would take nearly an epoch for the perception to be conceived and born.

The creation of clones requires a great deal of time and energy, so Wu Qingfeng continued to comprehend the laws of spacetime. He knew that understanding the laws was fundamental, and only by thoroughly comprehending the laws of spacetime could he truly break through the bottleneck and lay the foundation for achieving immortality and challenging the lord of the universe.

Having spent six thousand years in Chaos City, he had already gained recognition from the two supreme laws of time and space, and comprehended the three profound mysteries of the law of time and the profound mystery of teleportation within the law of space. He abandoned distractions and devoted himself entirely to understanding the mysteries of the law of space.

With his exceptional comprehension and affinity for all elements of law, Wu Qingfeng's understanding of the mysteries of space progressed remarkably smoothly. He had already mastered the basics of spatial teleportation; now, he only needed to refine the details, maximizing the distance, speed, and accuracy of his teleportation. He would progress from short-distance instantaneous movement to intergalactic teleportation, and even be able to use spatial fluctuations to evade all attacks in battle.

Spatial strangulation requires precise control over the sharpness of spatial power, condensing spatial laws into an invisible blade that can tear apart the enemy's divine body and sever the fluctuations of laws. Wu Qingfeng combined the secret techniques in the Light and Dark Codex, comprehending them while constantly honing the power of spatial cutting.

Compared to the previous two profound mysteries, the spatial confinement technique is slightly more difficult to comprehend. It requires condensing spatial power into a sealed cage to suppress the enemy's actions and application of laws. The stronger the opponent, the stronger the spatial confinement power required. Wu Qingfeng spent three thousand years constantly deducing the secret runes of spatial confinement and integrating them with his own innate secret technique for controlling space and time. Finally, he mastered spatial confinement to perfection. He can condense small spatial cages to trap world lord-level powerhouses, and he can also set up large-scale spatial confinement domains to suppress the actions of king-level immortals.

As time flowed by, the creation of his clones and his comprehension of the laws progressed in tandem. Over nearly ten thousand years, he had already thoroughly grasped the three great mysteries of space, but after nearly five thousand years of comprehension, he had reached a bottleneck in the fusion of the three great mysteries of time, even with frequent consultations with his teachers, although the speed at which he comprehended the laws had astonished his teachers.

The Lord of Darkness suggested that after the clone is born, it needs to undergo trials and tribulations to more quickly identify and solve problems in battle, thus advancing to the final step of fusion with the higher laws.

On this day, the Time Jade Essence within the inner world suddenly burst forth with dazzling pale golden light. Within the light, a faint, clear jade-like sound echoed. As the light intensified, it drew in all the power of the Time Law within the inner world, transforming it into countless golden patterns that entwined around the crystalline Time Jade Essence. As the golden patterns flowed, the crystal slowly unfolded and condensed, gradually forming a tall and imposing figure.

Its height is a staggering 90,000 kilometers, which is only the level of a Realm Lord. Special life forms are different from ordinary life forms. Most special life forms can still grow their divine bodies after they become immortal, and some can even grow tenfold.

According to the information provided by the teacher, the Venerable-level Void Flame Soul Emperor divine body he killed also possessed a super-large divine body spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers. At this time, Heng's clone, after advancing to the Venerable level, was even larger than the Void Flame clone.

Shi Heng's clone is 70% similar to his human counterpart. He is surrounded by a faint jade-colored halo, his skin is as white as warm jade, his hair is shimmering with fine golden light, and the shadow of the river of time flows deep in his eyes. Every gesture he makes has a rhythm of the laws of time flowing quietly, as if he has walked from the depths of the river of time, and he has an ancient and distant temperament.

The moment the clone took shape, it subconsciously activated its innate secret technique, causing the flow of time around it to become strange, sometimes slowing down, sometimes accelerating, and sometimes stopping. The surrounding space rippled slightly due to these time fluctuations. With a wave of its hand, it could manipulate the power of time and control the flow of time around it.

With the flow of will and synchronized perception, the human essence's time law quietly breaks through, the three profound mysteries unite and become perfect, and the time law is complete! Once the secret method of the Lord of the Universe is comprehended, one can break through to immortality and directly enter the realm of Venerable!

The materials for the False Flame Soul Emperor were incorporated into the inner world of the original core, and the gestation period was about six thousand years.

He has already comprehended the laws of time, and the laws of space are only one of the three great mysteries that need to be fused together to be perfect. However, this last step is also the most difficult. Countless cosmic venerables and overlords have been stuck at this step for countless epochs and have never been able to break through. Without a great opportunity, they will never be able to break through this step.

Wu Qingfeng attempted to fuse the laws of spacetime, hoping for a flash of inspiration to comprehend the laws of space itself. Following the logic of law fusion, by simply blending the corresponding mysteries, one could gradually grasp the laws of spacetime fusion. With his comprehension at the limits of the primordial universe, Wu Qingfeng quickly completed the basic fusion deductions. The fusion of time deceleration and spatial confinement could form a spacetime cage, trapping enemies while slowing their time flow; the fusion of time acceleration and spatial teleportation could achieve spacetime travel, instantly traversing endless distances; the fusion of time stagnation and spatial cutting could condense a spacetime blade, ignoring spatial barriers and tearing apart the river of time. At this point, he had formally entered the realm of spacetime fusion.

After a thousand years of seemingly smooth comprehension, when he attempted to completely integrate the six profound mysteries and advance the law of spacetime fusion, no matter how he deduced or manipulated the power of the law, the six profound mysteries could never perfectly harmonize. Either the fluctuations of the time mystery suppressed the space mystery, or the agitation of the space power disrupted the rhythm of the time law. Each fusion attempt failed, and sometimes even triggered a backlash from the law, causing waves of stinging pain in his sea of ​​consciousness.

He recalled the original work's memories of the fusion of laws, remembering the ancestor's feat of fusing ten laws, and gradually a clue began to form in his mind. The fusion of spacetime is not about the superposition of profound mysteries, but about "unification"—transforming the power of time and space into the same primordial power, allowing the six profound mysteries to merge with each other at the primordial level, forming a complete system of spacetime laws.

But he was not discouraged. He could clearly feel that his understanding of the laws of spacetime was deepening, and the fusion of the six profound mysteries was becoming smoother. He only needed one last opportunity to break through the shackles and take another step forward in spacetime fusion. Perhaps after his breakthrough in the laws of space, he would soon be able to successfully fuse spacetime.
