777: Clear 35 waves

“He can even replicate a Domain of the ultimate Rank?”

Chen Du’s pupils constricted slightly; this truly exceeded his expectations.

If it was this level of replication, then this fake Chen Du’s strength was probably similar to his own.

However, Chen Du remained calm.

He understood that if he really had to decide a winner between himself and the fake Chen Du, the loser would definitely be himself, as the other party had Lin Xun assisting him.

But his opponent was not the fake Chen Du, but Lin Xun.

As long as he killed Lin Xun, he could pass this stage.

Precisely because the opponent was himself, Chen Du was very clear about his own abilities; the fake Chen Du might not be able to protect Lin Xun!

Without another word, Chen Du directly unleashed the Judgment Holy Sword, locking onto Lin Xun.

The damage of this ability depended on the damage energy between the binder and the bound.

Even if Lin Xun wasn't injured, Chen Du had so many lives that the damage energy generated from his subsequent fight with the fake Chen Du would be enough to kill Lin Xun.

At the same time, the fake Chen Du also used the Judgment Holy Sword, but his target could only be Chen Du.

At this moment, Chen Du felt like a villain.

Because he had no one to protect, while the fake Chen Du was like a hero; he needed to eliminate Chen Du while ensuring Lin Xun's safety.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The real and fake Chen Du instantly clashed, and the damage energy and instant-kill white bars rapidly increased, with the Judgment Holy Sword floating high above growing stronger as it absorbed this energy.

“Good heavens, he even has Bloom.”

Chen Du exclaimed during the battle, not expecting this fake to even possess the abilities of Crystal Space.

But he definitely didn't have Crystal Summon.

This ability was rather special; it couldn't be used just by having it.

One needed to possess Crystal Space oneself; otherwise, even if one had the ability, there would be no Vice Chen Du to summon for him.

The result was indeed as Chen Du expected; the fake Chen Du did not or could not use Crystal Summon, and the two remained in a 1V1 battle.

Lin Xun, meanwhile, continuously sought opportunities to use that black notebook to summon black lightning to attack Chen Du, acting as support.

During this time, Chen Du noticed a rather terrifying small detail: after Lin Xun used the notebook to summon black lightning and struck him the first time, his Qi became weak, but in all subsequent attacks,

his Qi never weakened again.

This meant that the black notebook's attack only exacted a price from the user if it hit the opponent, which was an extremely terrifying mechanism.

It meant that any ability that could temporarily evade or defend against black lightning would ultimately fail under an infinite barrage of black lightning attacks!

Lin Xun himself, as an individual, never made a move, but the power he wielded was incredibly exaggerated.

It was no exaggeration to say he was invincible among those of the same Rank.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two Chen Dus exchanged blows, creating a sensation of the world shaking, each punch clashing like an earthquake.

“Even his combat habits and some subconscious instinctive actions are the same as mine.”

“It seems he really just copied a version of me without consciousness.”

At this moment, Chen Du glanced at Lin Xun’s position; it was neither too close nor too far from him.

During this time, Lin Xun maintained this distance, which convinced Chen Du that the opponent's black notebook indeed had a range requirement for its attacks.

Now, seven instant-kill bars had been filled; without a life Rank difference, this level of damage energy was enough to kill an opponent of the same Rank.

Chen Du, who had long prepared himself mentally, waved his hand downwards.

Release Sword!

The Judgment Holy Sword fell from above like a meteor, aiming directly for Lin Xun's vital point.

Almost simultaneously, the fake Chen Du made the same move; above Chen Du's head, a giant Judgment Holy Sword, twice the size, also descended.

Because the fake Chen Du was bound to Chen Du, the Judgment Holy Sword absorbed the damage from both of them, making it larger.

Not only that, after the fake Chen Du released the Judgment Holy Sword, a Blue Cat eerily appeared on the Judgment Holy Sword that was about to stab Lin Xun.

It stretched out its seemingly weak cat paw, slightly raised it, and prepared to strike the Judgment Holy Sword released by Chen Du.

Clap!

At this moment, an identical Blue Cat appeared beside it, also striking out with a paw, but its target was not the Judgment Holy Sword, but the Blue Cat's paw.

“Sure enough, your thoughts are the same as mine.”

Chen Du muttered to himself.

The first Blue Cat was naturally released by the fake Chen Du, with a clear purpose: he wanted to destroy the Judgment Holy Sword’s locking mechanism to prevent it from locking onto Lin Xun.

The second one was released by Chen Du; he naturally wanted to stop the fake Chen Du’s action and allow the Judgment Holy Sword to successfully kill Lin Xun.

Unfortunately, the fake Chen Du was numerically identical to him, which prevented Chen Du from destroying the opponent's Nimble Cats Grace, but it didn't matter, as long as he could organize it.

The power of the two Blue Cats could be said to be completely known; they balanced each other, achieving an eerie equilibrium, effectively nullifying each other simultaneously, with neither interfering with the other.

The two Judgment Holy Swords continued to fall.

At this point, the fake Chen Du chose to attack Chen Du.

The Judgment Holy Sword would not stop even if it killed the caster; that was its mechanism.

It was precisely because of this mechanism that the fake Chen Du knew he couldn't stop it, so he chose to attack Chen Du; he wanted to kill Chen Du first through the combined efforts of the Judgment Holy Sword he released and himself.

Then, he would use the ability of Nimble Cats Grace to destroy this mechanism and save Lin Xun.

And all these thoughts of the fake Chen Du were within Chen Du's calculations; after all, it was himself fighting himself, so many things could be guessed directly.

Furthermore, Chen Du firmly believed he would win.

It wasn't that a certain numerical value was superior to the opponent, but rather the current identities of both sides made it easier for him to win.

Just as the fake Chen Du attacked Chen Du, Chen Du also made his move.

Dominating Emperor!

Although the Judgment Holy Sword was unavoidable, it required time to fall, and Chen Du directly advanced this time, causing Lin Xun to directly collide with this spearhead.

Boom!

A terrifying force fiercely stabbed at Lin Xun; although he tried his best to resist, many extremely bright lights emerged from his body, but these were all relatively ordinary defensive measures.

They couldn't compare to the black notebook and the replication mirror, which were Rank-level abilities.

As expected, Lin Xun died, and the fake Chen Du also disappeared with him.

However, the Judgment Holy Sword had not yet disappeared; fortunately, Chen Du's numerical values far surpassed Lin Xun's, and he still had seven fake lives and one real life as a backup.

This Judgment Holy Sword, aimed directly at his eternal heart, ultimately failed to kill him.

Thus, Chen Du successfully passed wave 35.

And at this very moment, the Pale Dense Fog in the Crystal Space began to dissipate…
