Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1168 - 12: Beitu King, Self Domain, and Death Replacement Grass Man!_6
"The official named Zhao Xing claims to be the brother of the new Great Emperor, but he doesn’t even share the surname Ji, it’s clearly just a misleading title."
"In the past century, it seems that Great Zhou’s control over the vassal states has weakened. Regardless of the reason, it proves that Great Zhou’s governance here is declining."
"That’s why I think we should side with the Sith Clan."
"The Beitu people fight only for themselves," the Beitu King said flatly. "Whoever is stronger on the Western Extreme Continent, we’ll support them."
"Watch and see who has the greater determination."
...
Inside the envoy’s quarters, Zhao Xing, upon receiving the news, shook his head and said, "We can’t leave."
"Sir, if we don’t leave now, it will be too late," Zhang Ning said in a deep voice.
"Zhang Ning, have you found out where the Sith envoy is staying?" Zhao Xing asked.
"I know," Zhang Ning nodded. "Sir, you mean to...?"
"Indeed," a hint of murderous intent flashed in Zhao Xing’s eyes, "Kill the Sith envoy, and the Beitu King will have no retreat."
It has been nearly two hundred years since Great Zhou last demonstrated its might in the Western Extreme State. Zhao Xing was well aware of the Beitu King’s predicament and concerns.
He sides with whoever is stronger!
If Zhao Xing simply left, the Beitu King would surely join forces with the Sith Clan.
"How could a strong figure like the Beitu King not have even this amount of control, allowing people to learn about the palace matters?"
"If I leave, it would prove that Great Zhou has no determination and won’t invest any strength to undertake this affair."
"Now that you’ve learned the location of the Sith envoy’s quarters, it must be the Beitu King deliberately letting us know."
"Zhang Ning, dare you accompany me in showing the might of our dynasty?"
Zhang Ning laughed, "Mr. Zhao, when I came, I donned armor and carried my sword, already prepared to die."
"Good, lead the way!"
"Understood!"
...
Zhao Xing, Zhang Ning, Mi Fei, and Chen Shijie quickly left the envoy quarters and stealthily headed toward the Sith envoy’s quarters along the broad Royal City avenue.
When the four arrived at the Sith envoy’s quarters, they found it already empty.
"Hmm? No one?" Zhang Ning’s expression changed slightly, "I clearly confirmed in person that they were staying at this inn."
"Could they have gone out, or have they left?" Mi Fei suggested.
"Their belongings remain, but the people are gone. They couldn’t have left," Chen Shijie glanced around, "There are still many Sith ceremonial items here; they wouldn’t leave those behind."
"Then there’s only one possibility," Zhao Xing smiled, "The Sith envoy also holds the same idea as us—they’ve come to kill us."
"Let’s go back!"
This time, Zhao Xing no longer conceals himself but walks openly.
Just a short distance from exiting the quarters, they encounter an eight-person team, led by a man with three blue horizontal stripes on his forehead, dressed in black battle armor.
The rest of them had the distinctive three-stripe divine seal of the Sith Clan on their vestment robes and battle armor.
"Swish, swish, swish~"
The two groups locked eyes and immediately confirmed each other’s identity.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Neither side hesitated for a moment; they immediately started to fight.
Wu Yuan’s figure twisted, and in the next moment, he appeared in the sky, punching into the air.
"Boom!"
Fragments scattered in the air as Zhao Xing’s body dissipated.
However, more ’Zhao Xing’ appeared all around.
Wu Yuan frowned.
He was in the late stage of the Fate Palace Realm, while the opponent was only Second Grade Perfect. He had clearly locked onto the opponent, yet it was a false body?
"Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish~"
Wu Yuan’s figure moved to the extreme, swiftly soaring skyward, and in an instant, a hundred phantoms appeared in the sky.
Each phantom appeared behind Zhao Xing, their fists exuding a bizarre crossing of three ghostly lights, as if space had three cracks.
A punch issued.
"Boom!"
All the hundreds of Zhao Xing dissipated.
Yet above, a similar amount of Zhao Xing appeared again.
"Another false body?"
Wu Yuan was even more surprised.
The first time he couldn’t discern, the second time he chose to annihilate all the opponent’s false bodies.
But why are there more the more he fights?
Zhao Xing’s true self jumped out from behind one of the duplicates.
He quietly watched from above.
Ever since cultivating the "Soldier God Decision," his [Divine Wood Leap] underwent a qualitative change.
He no longer needed living plants to leap.
His true self could leap from any one of the duplicates.
"Die! Dark Absolute God Prison!"
Wu Yuan’s entire being exuded monstrous ferocity, black light expanding, as if heaven and earth were engulfed in darkness.
The Dark Absolute God Prison not only brought ’darkness’ to the five senses but also dragged the Primordial Soul and the sense of fate into ’darkness’.
Of course, Wu Yuan couldn’t black out an enemy’s Primordial Soul vision, let alone the fate perception of the Fate Palace Realm or Heavenly Fate Realm.
But its domain was already at the third level. Facing such a crush, this Great Zhou official ought to be dead according to logic.
But... he wasn’t!
Zhao Xing still existed.
He just looked down on Wu Yuan from high above.
In the distant Imperial Palace, on top of a high mountain.
The Beitu King’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Wu Yuan’s strength was within his expectations.
However, Zhao Xing exceeded his imagination. He had seen the extraordinary in Zhao Xing but hadn’t expected him to be this extraordinary.
"To actually leap in and out of Wu Yuan’s rule domain, what kind of technique is this?"
The Beitu King prided himself on being worldly.
Yet such a situation, he truly had not encountered before.
A person cannot be without a true self; although the Beitu King could not discern which was the true self, he was sure Zhao Xing’s true self was among them.
Clearly, Zhao Xing had no domain, yet he could leap within Wu Yuan’s rule domain.
He really couldn’t comprehend it.
High in the sky, Zhao Xing appeared again, looking at the astonished Wu Yuan below.
He wasn’t without a domain; he had already cast it!
"After realizing the Heavenly Time Domain in the 92nd year of Yongzhi, I comprehended the Self Grassman Domain by the end of the First Year of Yuan Shou."
"Based on the Ten Thousand Skill Grass man avatar, the range of the Self Grassman Domain is entirely determined by the number of avatars."
By using the Ten Thousand Skill Grassman avatar as a base, the range of the Self Grassman Domain is completely determined by the number of avatars.
This Self Domain realization and the ability to perform rule jumps between inner heavens can truly be called a life-saving Divine Skill. However, it’s still not quite a true ’Death Replacement Grass Man.’ Because Zhao Xing, based on the ’Death Replacement Grass Man’ from the spiritual energy era of his past life, combined it with the Yin Yang Self Scripture, Soldier God Decision, and also the Five Element Spiritual Energy to comprehend it.
Even if within the opponent’s rule domain, Zhao Xing was able to leap.
Even a true transcendent First Grade would find it hard to capture Zhao Xing’s true self.
The Ten Thousand Skill Grassman was already difficult to practice, and he still had to comprehend the Self Grassman Domain.
But once mastered, it was a self-made heaven and earth realm that advanced brimming with Self Divine Skill! This was one of the important reasons Zhao Xing prioritized comprehending the ’Soldier God Decision’.
"There’s something strange about Wu Yuan’s movement technique, style, including his domain."
"His technique clearly hasn’t reached its ultimate form, yet he has already comprehended the third stage."
"They say he is Ulik’s brother, killing him might actually yield some useful information."
"You should also try my domain!"
Having lured Wu Yuan to the sky three times, Zhao Xing had long laid out the Ultimate Cloud Skill high above.
When Wu Yuan attempted to strike for the fourth time, he found that Zhao Xing had completely disappeared.
He realized that the surrounding clouds started to move suddenly.
"Buzz~"
The clouds in the sky quickly rotated, and ten thousand cloud realms began their spell cycle.
