BXBX NOVEL Chapter 393: 322: Spirit Charm Emperor, Inheritance Artifact?_1
What was going on?
He had been inside for almost half a day now, and had been entangled with the Rule Cloning Body for over a hundred rounds.
No matter what he tried, he could not defeat the corresponding Rule Cloning Body.
How had it been that, the moment Zheng Cheng arrived, in less than ten seconds, he had snapped the Rule Cloning Body’s neck?
Keep in mind, the Rule Cloning Body was a complete replica.
Not only did it clone the four-dimensional attributes, but even the body, skills, and even combat consciousness were exactly the same. How could it be defeated so easily?
Meanwhile, Zheng Cheng’s eyes still remained calm, as if this result was something he had anticipated all along.
The ability of the Rule Cloning Body was indeed powerful, able to fully clone a professionist’s abilities and skills.
However, what it could replicate were only common abilities, or those that had been recorded before.
And Zheng Cheng’s skills were all mutant abilities, not in the database, so how could they be copied?
Besides that.
Zheng Cheng’s public profession was only that of a three-star Priest!
Not even the Spirit Charm Emperor, no matter how talented, could have imagined that a Priest of three-star level would possess such monstrous power.
A single blow to kill his own cloning body.
“Buzz…”
A strange fluctuation suddenly enveloped Zheng Cheng, clearly the vibration of a teleportation array.
He made a quick decision, “Sister Yunxiao, I’ll wait for you guys outside.”
“Also… catch this!”
He and Little Qing acted at the same time, two identical mental fluctuations rapidly spreading towards the surrounding people. In an instant, they turned into several mental waves, landing on them.
Adrenaline Excitement Technique!
Xu Qingfeng, Zhao Yunxiao, Yao Zhixue, Zhou Xinyu, Cai Ji…
Zhao Yunxiao distinctly felt a surging powerful force suddenly emerging from her kidneys, and her long spear seemed lighter.
Speed and power enhanced in all aspects, she thrust her spear which instantly turned into three spear shadows, forcing the opponent’s clone back.
“Adrenaline Excitement Technique?”
Her tone was peculiar, “You really can surprise me. Since that’s the case, I can’t let you down…”
With a low shout, a violent airflow suddenly surged from her body, propelling her to soar skyward like a tiger pouncing on its prey, and she fiercely charged towards the clone.
Sky Soaring Dragon!
Boom!
…
At this moment, Zheng Cheng’s figure, accompanied by a fluctuation, appeared in another dilapidated passageway.
A flicker of dark light, and the Phantom of the Phantom Soul Book suddenly appeared in front of him, emitting a faint glow.
“The Phantom Soul Book is reacting, could it be…”
He continued forward with the Phantom Soul Book in hand.
All around, statues had been toppled to the ground, reduced to rubble.
The ground was also covered in traces of looting, with not a single valuable thing left.
“Ten thousand years ago, the Spirit Charm Blessed Land was invaded by an alien race, and all the good stuff inside must have been plundered by them.”
“What’s left are only the corpses and souls of the Charm Clan.”
“The Phantom Soul Book is reacting, could there still be something left here…”
He moved on, and the Phantom Soul Book suddenly turned into a phantom and disappeared, causing him to pause and look ahead.
“Hmm? Have we arrived?”
The Phantom Soul Book materialized in front of him and imprinted onto a wall.
Soon, a small door just tall enough for one person emerged within it.
Zheng Cheng hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and walked in.
In front of him was an antique-looking room, with an eight-immortal table, a dressing table, a dragon and phoenix auspicious bed, and a pink canopy.
Even the air was permeated with a faint scent of sandalwood.
Zheng Cheng’s expression was somewhat odd; to stumble upon an ancient room with such an antique charm, strikingly similar to the boudoirs of ancient women from his previous life, was indeed a surprise to him.
“What place is this, exactly?”
He looked around curiously and quickly noticed something out of place.
A book desk.
Atop it laid the Four Treasures of the Study, and on it were also a few sheets of paper.
“How could a woman’s boudoir possibly have a book desk? Could it contain some records?”
He walked over, soon discovering that the sheets of paper on the desk were inscribed with a few brief phrases.
“Hmm? This script, the Charm Clan’s text, I damn well can’t read it…”
Zheng Cheng’s thoughts stirred, and he concentrated his mind on the sheets of paper.
Soon, the rice paper emitted a faint black glow.
“Our clan is born from the desires in the hearts of living beings, innately fond of strife and slaughter, desire as vast as the ocean, causing creatures in all realms to suffer and rivers to run red with blood. I once made a grand vow to defeat the Heavenly Dao for my clan, to change the future and the nature of my Charm Clan!”
As the words ended, a rich black mist suddenly appeared in the air.
And the sheet of paper in his hand also visibly crumbled at a speed seen with the naked eye.
At the same time, a phantom figure of a woman suddenly materialized before Zheng Cheng.
A beautiful woman in a white skirt, with hair as the Nine Heavens Milky Way, looked towards Zheng Cheng with deep and dark eyes.
Or rather, she gazed into the distance.
“The change in my clan, stems from our own Heavenly Dao. Simply by annihilating the Heavenly Dao, the past and the future can be altered for my clan?”
“But in the end… it fell short!”
Her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she made a heart-clutching gesture, stirring immense sympathy.
“Enough, enough…”
A low and melodious voice sounded, and the woman’s phantom figure suddenly started to shake, gradually disintegrating.
Eventually, it disappeared completely from the spot!
“Hmm? Disappeared?”
Zheng Cheng exclaimed in surprise, “What does this mean? Was I brought here just to hear this sentence?”
“It’s like the private musings of a secluded woman to the one she loves, but what does that have to do with me?”
“Hmm? What’s this…”
His gaze suddenly brightened, and right where the woman had originally stood, a black object appeared and fell towards the ground.
With a swift movement, he caught it in his hand.
“This is…”
[You have obtained the Inheritance Artifact: Spirit Charm Jade Pendant.]
“Spirit Charm Jade Pendant? An Inheritance Artifact?”
Zheng Cheng drew in a breath of cold air and hurriedly examined it.
[Spirit Charm Jade Pendant: An inheritance artifact of the Charm Clan, its effect is unknown, requiring the Professionist to investigate.]
“Hmm?”
“An inheritance artifact of the Charm Clan? Too bad it seems of no use, I’ll have to check it out myself…”
Though he said this, he was well aware that this thing might just be the most precious thing in the entire Spirit Charm Blessed Land!
“Phantom Soul Book, Spirit Charm Jade Pendant… and those words seemingly from the woman of the Spirit Charm Emperor…”
“All Heavens and Thousands of Tribes, living beings suffer. I once made a grand vow to wage war against the unrighteous Heavenly Dao, my Charm Clan wishes to be the Dao that defies the heavens…”
Could it be that this woman, the great emperor, for the sake of all living beings, sought to wage war against the Heavenly Dao with her own strength, but was defeated by the Heavenly Dao and perished in the Spirit Charm Blessed Land?
And her own people, were they also exterminated by their kind?
As for this Spirit Charm Jade Pendant, Zheng Cheng had a rough guess of its significance.
The moment he thought of this, the Spirit Charm Jade Pendant in his hand felt hot.
“A woman daring to take on the Heavenly Dao, truly a fierce one. It’s a pity though…”
Zheng Cheng shook his head, “The Heavenly Dao of each world is the most important conglomeration of rules, and also the innate being that gave birth to all life, almost equivalent to being the mother of all creatures in their respective worlds.”
“To rebel against one’s mother as a child is to be abandoned by the mother.”
“The destruction of the Charm Clan… not unjust…”
