--- Chapter 359 ---
Ink Sky Mirror Clone. It is an ability that Huo Yuhao comes up with on the spot, allowing him to perfectly replicate his enemy's appearance, power, and skills through the Primordial Ink Devil's manifestation and Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao.
After all, Heavenly Dao of Samsara let Huo Yuhao touch and influence karmic lines.
Of course, Huo Yuhao knew this was just a temporary measure.
Clank! Clank! Clank! BOOM!
In the sky, the black-robed man clashed with his clone. Their swords clashed and created star shower-like sparks.
Every clash is an extreme shockwave that cracks the space-time, followed by a loud explosion.Huo Yuhao analyzed their movements silently and made mental calculations.
The black-robed man is strong. In fact, he was too strong!
Every swing he made looked casual, but they were 'actually' filled with the charm of nihilism. The most minimal movement he has done is also the most efficient one could make in swordsmanship.
Huo Yuhao has classes related to melee weapons. Pagma's Incarnation and Netherworld Avenger focused on pure swordsmanship and the absoluteness of swords.
So, he understood how terrifying this black-robed man was.
At this very moment, Huo Yuhao felt he had unlocked an untouched part of his brain. His eyes processed information beyond the usual, which turned the surroundings hazy in his vision.
It was the first quality of his eyes long before he upgraded and evolved them into the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao. The eyes that mirrored God's quality, seeing the beginning and the end.
"Everything returned to origin..." Huo Yuhao mumbled to himself.
Splash!
Huo Yuhao slowly looked up, seeing the clone he had gotten injured by the black-robed man. The ink clone has lost its left arm. 'As expected, the ink clone is not sturdy enough.'
"Not bad." The black-robed man commented. "This fellow could warm me up."
"So, what's next, Kid?"
"Don't tell me this is all you had?"
Huo Yuhao wiped the Onyx Brush again, creating two more clones. "What about these?"
"Oh, you can create more?" The black-robed man raised his eyebrow. "But this is just a distraction for me, right?"
Huo Yuhao didn't respond to the black-robed man's remark. Even though he knew the clones wouldn't last long, he needed a couple more seconds to comprehend the wonder of that sword.
He also prepared his Assassin and Monk Class skills, which had the highest damage multiplier.
"Just a little more..." Huo Yuhao split his mind into a bunch, then focused on micro details. A tide surged inside Huo Yuhao's body, ready to break free at any moment.
Countless waves appeared around Huo Yuhao and released a faint breeze sound.
"Hmm?" The black-robed man glanced at Huo Yuhao. He smiled because this kid had realized something good.
'He just needs a little push, and things will get more interesting.'
'How about this!'
Poof! Poof! Poof!
All of a sudden, Huo Yuhao shuddered. He felt his ink clones destroyed at once.
"Ah, this is bad." Huo Yuhao watched the black-robed man coming for him.
The black-robed man appeared before Huo Yuhao in a split second. He swung his sword ruthlessly, dragging the infinite universe along.
Huo Yuhao breathed in calmly and applied to the daggers floating around him. Sending the daggers away, they clashed with the boundless sword intent.
BOOM!
The black-robed man smiled, "Oh, you actually applied Abyssal Reaper's skill into your attacks instead of using them like skills. You've reached the integration realm, impressive."
Huo Yuhao wasn't surprised that this man knew about his class.
He smiled back, "It's not just Abyssal Reaper."
The black-robed man's eyes widened because he could feel multiple divine forces inside Huo Yuhao. They surged out, charging with different shapes.
First, a black pagoda hit the black-robed man and put away his first layer of protection.
Then, a fierce silver arrow ignored his defense.
A magical box exploded and weakened his control over space-time.
After that, white-blue energy invaded his black robe, a greatsword smashed against his chest, and a blue-red sword pierced his left shoulder.
"Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves..." Huo Yuhao gathered the power of a wave in his palm and clenched hard. "Sweep the World."
He punched the black-robed man's chest with all of his current might and sent him flying.
BOOOOM!
The dark clouds in the sky parted and revealed a straight line, bright sky
The sea also split into two, revealing the dark ground beneath it.
Huo Yuhao frowned, knowing his attack was barely good enough as the black-robed man only flew one hundred meters away after that punch.
Any other person would explode receiving that punch.
In fact, the black-robed man doesn't look injured.
All the 'damage' Huo Yuhao had done to him quickly vanished after a second, including the tear on his shoulder and abdomen.
The black-robed man rubbed his chin, "I have been letting you attack me, but you could only land superficial things on me. Kid, have you eaten?"
"Also, although the Divine-grade Class is strong, you lack the originality that the class founder has."
"Moon's Piercer could ignore my defense despite having lower strength than me with his unique power."
"Techno Archon could create a device to restrict my sword, and the list goes on."
"You applied them well, but they aren't yours."
"Yours are just cheap copies of them."
"Show me your originals."
'It seems that the unexplored path is the only choice...' Huo Yuhao thought helplessly.
"You're forcing me to gamble on this. Oh well, I'm lucky."
After saying that, a purple flame cloud burst from Huo Yuhao's body and invaded the space around them.
The black-robed man felt a slight danger from the flame cloud. "This flame is..."
Huo Yuhao's experiment isn't over. A massive purple coin appeared from thin air and shone brightly with divine light amidst the cloud, giving off invisible oppression to all living beings.
Gravity increased by ten thousand floods within a 10-mile radius around Huo Yuhao.
"I'm the God of Fortune." Huo Yuhao mumbled unconsciously.
"Fortune also means wealth."
"My wealth is immeasurable. I can make countless divine weapons and treasures, turning them into my powers."
"Fortune also means luck."
"My luck is heaven-defying. I can witness the beginning and end of things. With my luck, I can start and end an era."
"Which begs the question, don't those who possess luck always come out victorious!"
BOOOOOOOM!!
"Go, experience the heaviness of fortune." Huo Yuhao indifferently smacked his palm, sending the massive purple coin flying toward the black-robed man.
The black-robed man swung his sword and created another boundless sword intent, but was surprised to see his attack getting neutralized by Huo Yuhao's weird purple coin.
KABOOM!
The boundless sword intent shattered into nothingness.
"Sword Universe level 1 is useless? Now, this is an improvement." The black-robed man couldn't help but smile.
He knew Huo Yuhao was stalling for time to deepen his understanding of his own power.
But he didn't know Huo Yuhao was analyzing his sword attack, too.
To him, doing such a thing is pointless.
'But hey, I can be wrong too.' The black-robed man stared at Huo Yuhao with more amusement on his handsome face. His crimson eyes lit up in expectation.
Unknown to the black-robed man, Huo Yuhao's processing speed is probably the highest ever recorded in the Great Omniversal Order.
He could think of infinite things in less than 0.00001 seconds.
Yes, not even those from the mechanical and spiritual race could compete against Huo Yuhao's mind.
However, Huo Yuhao barely touched this realm.
He has yet to master it.
But that's not important at the moment.
The black-robed man wanted to know Huo Yuhao's limit.
'Could he contend against my Infinite Sword Way?' He thought with a hint of playfulness. 'If you're that demoness's son, show me more of your potential!'
BOOM!
The black-robed man swung his sword again. However, this time, the boundless sword intent is much calmer.
Yet, within that calmness is extreme danger.
Huo Yuhao made more purple coins and sent them toward the black-robed man.
Their attack is like two different waves crashing against each other.
KACHA! KACHA!
Tiny World's dimensional membranes cracked one after another because of their clash.
Huo Yuhao's nose ran with fresh blood due to the extreme consumption of divinities, but he was grinning like a madman.
'MORE, MORE, MORE, GIVE ME MORE!' His eyes cracked with faint purple light.
It's not just the black-robed man who wanted to test Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao also wanted to push himself beyond his limit. After all, it's rare to meet someone who could test him this far.
Unfortunately, the good thing didn't last forever.
Cough!
Huo Yuhao abruptly coughed a mouthful of blood. He looked at his palm and saw his divine circuits overheating, becoming dark.
"Overheating..."
"Your body couldn't handle your new powers."
"Haha, but I won't stop attacking you!"
Seeing Huo Yuhao's condition, the black-robed didn't stop and even increased the pace of his sword slash.
Soon, Huo Yuhao found himself trapped in the black-robed man's sword intent.
'Brat, are you not going to use my power?' An arrogant voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind. It was none other than the Primeval Wave White Tiger's spirit.
Huo Yuhao ignored the little cat's voice. Given how the black-robed man acts, borrowing external force would annoy him.
'Come on, you only have to sacrifice a bit of your spiritual sea.'
"Shut up." Huo Yuhao coldly said. His cracked blue eyes glared at thin air threateningly.
Shudder!
The Primeval Beast's spirit couldn't help but shiver.
Huo Yuhao assessed the situation with absolute calmness. He stared at the black-robed man and said, "I will go big this time."
Two bloodlines inside Huo Yuhao's body suddenly erupted.
The Blue Wave Undying Tiger.
And the Naga's bloodline.
The latter, however, seems to bubble in excitement.
ROAR! ROAR!
Tiger and Dragon's roar echoed from the depth of Huo Yuhao's body.
The image of a shadowy violet dragon and a demonic blue tiger appeared from thin air.
Huo Yuhao has used Forest God's mimicry, forcing Dragon God's traits such as body, elements, and authority to merge with Naga's bloodline.
A newfound Dragon God's bloodline is born!
If the black-robed man hadn't shut Evo, Huo Yuhao would have heard a notification now.
Weirdly, Huo Yuhao didn't show any transformation into Dragon or Tiger. He still looked like himself.
He kicked the air and rushed forward, causing everyone's eyes to widen in shock.
Even the black-robed man raised his eyebrow in awe.
Huo Yuhao is jumping straight into his sword intent. In other words, he was courting death!
But the black-robed man has a hunch that Huo Yuhao's sudden action is 'naturally' backed up with extreme confidence. Even though they had only known each other for less than thirty minutes, he had grasped Huo Yuhao's personality well.
Huo Yuhao said he'd gamble things out, but he's actually confident with his luck and calculations.
The black-robed man gathered more sword intent in his black sword. He watched Huo Yuhao endure getting shredded by his sword universe and moving with an invisible aura around him.
This aura is weird. They could resist his boundless sword intent to a certain extent.
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao teleported toward the black-robed man and completely ignored the hefty distance between them.
The black-robed man squinted his eyes, "That wasn't teleportation."
"It wasn't." Huo Yuhao was five meters away from him. "I was just jumping toward you."
"Kid, you didn't fail my expectations."
"Stop blabbering nonsense, Old Man."
"I'm not that OLD!"
They stared at each other and grinned.
"LAST ATTACK!" They shouted simultaneously.
The black-robed man swung his sword horizontally, sweeping and cutting through intangible lines of the world.
"Judgement Cut!"
Huo Yuhao didn't stay idle and threw a straight punch. Still, this simple-looking jab warped the space-time around it.
"Dragon-Tiger Wave Fist."
Sword and fist almost met in the air, yet separated by infinite dimensions.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Tiny World lost its light for a couple of seconds. The energy created by this exchange broke the Tiny World's dimensional membrane.
Outside Tiny World, countless stars turned into dust by this exchange. Fortunately, Tiny World is remote in this universe, or many lives would cease to exist today.
After a couple of seconds, light returned to the Tiny World.
Huo Yuhao hovered in the air, staring at his nonexistent right arm.
He stared at the black-robed man and found himself in the same situation as the hand-holding sword disappeared.
The black-robed man glanced at his nonexistent left arm and smiled, "Kid, you passed!"
"You passed with flying colors! Hahaha, it's been a while since this incarnation of mine got all worked up!"
"This is not your real body?" Huo Yuhao was speechless.
The black-robed man laughed even more, "Hahaha, you're funny! Of course, this is just one of many incarnations I had."
"What kind of adult goes full force against a mere kid like you?"
"You fucker..." Huo Yuhao's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
The black-robed man shook his head gently and said, "This incarnation is the closest to your location. My real body is still cultivating somewhere else."
"I'm only here to test you on behalf of that woman, after all."
"You didn't disappoint her."
"Well, you destroy my core, so I don't have much time here..."
"Can you tell me about her? How is she?" Huo Yuhao urged.
The black-robed man replied straightforwardly, "No, I can't. You aren't ready for that stage yet."
"Don't think shit about it, and focus on developing your new powers. They will be your key to meeting that woman again."
"Fine..." Huo Yuhao sighed. He knew the Great Omniversal Order was an ultimate stage full of dangerous powerhouses.
The black-robed man looked at Huo Yuhao and commented, "Don't look so down. What about this? I will give you some rewards. Well, some are your prey, to begin with."
A few light balls appeared and floated toward Huo Yuhao.
The black-robed man's body rapidly crumbled, "That's all from me. Let's see if we can meet again somewhere in the future."
"Wait, what is your name?" Huo Yuhao asked while staring at the black-robed man.
The black-robed man smiled mysteriously, "Me?"
"I'm Batman!"
After saying that, the black-robed man is completely gone from this world. Only his fakely deepened voice remained for slightly longer.
"..." Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched this time.
Fuck you, I'm asking for a name, not a title!
