C378 Bold attempt
After all, he was a human, and the speed of his spiritual energy had a limit. Once he reached that extreme speed, it would be quite difficult to break through.
Then how should he deal with this phantom?
The moves were the same, the strength was the same. The only difference was that the opponent didn't have any restrictions.
Chen Xiao held onto his chin and thought about it repeatedly, but after demonstrating it tens of times in his mind, he realized that it was simply impossible for him to win against the illusionary figure with his current abilities.
Unless he could break through his limits and become even stronger than the shadow.
"If this illusion only duplicates my current strength, then I can make a breakthrough in some areas and perhaps surpass it."
He was saying this, but how could making a breakthrough now be so easy? At his current level, every breakthrough was not that easy. Even Chen Xiao would not be able to break through just because he wanted to.
Wait, if that was the case, would it work?
Suddenly, a bold idea flashed through Chen Xiao's mind.
With a thought, he entered the second floor of the Tower of Void. Upon entering, a scorching stream of air immediately flew towards Chen Xiao. The mysterious man had used the Burning Heaven Sword to attack, he was completely unreasonable!
The Immortal Floating Cloud Steps was activated, avoiding the sword. After that, Chen Xiao did not rush to attack, but maintained the distance between him and the shadow, and continued to dodge.
After a few dozen breaths of time had passed, the mysterious man had released all of Chen Xiao's moves two to three times! Furthermore, there was no pause at all when it was released, which was exactly what Chen Xiao had thought it would be.
The illusion did not have the problem of lacking spiritual energy.
Another Burning Heaven Sword cut down, and Chen Xiao dodged once again. Since he had already confirmed the Phantom Shadow's superiority, then it was time for Chen Xiao to test his own thoughts.
He increased his speed, and instantly closed the distance between him and the shadow. The Zephyr Blade Technique was activated, and the Red Cloud Sword in his hand immediately turned into nearly a hundred sword images, pressing towards the shadow.
However, the shadow reacted quickly, and similarly, it used the Zephyr Blade Technique. Similarly, hundreds of sword images were used against Chen Xiao's attack.
The two Chen Xiao released Wind Following Sword at the same time, and in that moment, the sound of blades clashing continued, causing the room to become lively.
In less than ten breaths, the two of them had already exchanged hundreds of blows. And until here, Chen Xiao and the mysterious man changed their moves at the same time.
The mysterious man relied on his advantage and unleashed the Absolute Soul Finger once again. His left hand pointed towards Chen Xiao and the gigantic finger immediately appeared behind him.
Chen Xiao naturally could not be like the illusory image, being able to release the Absolute Soul Finger at this time. But in comparison to the mysterious man, Chen Xiao actually had one advantage, and that was innovation.
Chen Xiao couldn't make a breakthrough in a short period of time, but if he were to create new and innovative moves, as the god of war, it wouldn't be difficult for Chen Xiao to break through!
Just as the of the simulacrum was about to appear, Chen Xiao's Red Cloud Sword suddenly burst out with scarlet flames, which seemed to be the precursor of a single Burning Heaven sword strike. But what Chen Xiao wanted to use was not the Burning Heaven Sword, but the instant the flames appeared, the Red Cloud Sword instantly transformed into nearly a hundred sword silhouettes!
Chen Xiao was using Burning Heaven Sword's method of luck on the Zephyr Blade Technique!
To put luck and luck in one move and use it in another move, this was simply a joke in the eyes of many experts.
One had to know that the more powerful a move was, the more unique its methods of luck would be. If one wanted to place it on a different move, even if one was careless and caused a backlash, one would have to pay with one's life. Therefore, for many people, even if they had to innovate, they wouldn't change the way it worked.
However, since Chen Xiao dared to do so, he naturally had the confidence to do so.
Moreover, when he was on the road to becoming a war god, he had used these two moves too many times. These two moves were carved into his instincts, and as long as he wanted to release them, the spirit energy in his body would immediately begin to flow according to the method of luck in these two moves.
Based on this point, fusing the Burning Heaven Sword and the Zephyr Blade Technique, Chen Xiao had at least a seventy percent chance of success!
In fact, Chen Xiao had succeeded.
Nearly a hundred scarlet flaming swords appeared. Although each was much weaker than the Burning Heaven Sword, this move was more focused on quantity. Relying on the advantage of numbers, he had sealed off all of the shadow's evasion space, not giving it any chance to dodge!
The shadow had no possibility of dodging, and Chen Xiao did not have any plans to either. Then, what he wanted to do next was to see if the attacks from the other side were stronger. Was the Phantom Shadow's Zephyr Blade Technique stronger than the Absolute Soul Finger, or was Chen Xiao's new technique stronger?
"Boom!"
A shocking explosion appeared in the next moment! The exaggerated energy fluctuations seemed to have caused the entire Tower of Void to tremble. The huge explosion reverberated around the room, causing Chen Xiao to feel pain in his ears. At the same time, cracks appeared on his body of consciousness, as if it would break at any moment.
But Chen Xiao did not have the spare energy to pay attention to all these. Even though he was blown away by the explosion, his eyes were locked on the other side, wanting to clearly see the situation of the shadow.
The most surprising thing was that after this exchange of blows, the figure was completely unharmed. It didn't explode, nor did it suffer any injuries.
Was this apparition that strong?
Chen Xiao was stunned, if this did not cause any harm to the illusion, then at this stage, the possibility of defeating the illusion was very low. Unless his strength increased by another level, but once he did, it would be hard to tell if the mysterious man's strength would increase along with him.
Hm?
Just when Chen Xiao thought that he wouldn't get the chance, the mysterious man suddenly changed. In the blink of an eye, the cracks from his hunt had covered his entire body. In the next moment, he turned into pieces of black light and scattered on the black stone tiles.
Was this a victory?
Chen Xiao never thought that there would be such an unexpected change. However, since he had won, it was still a good thing. The next step was to see what the Tower of Void would give him after he killed the mysterious man.
Just as he was thinking of this, a stone platform suddenly appeared in the middle of the room with a black jade slip suspended above it.
A jade slip was normally used to record cultivation techniques. Could it be that the second floor of the Tower of Void gave out cultivation techniques? However, it was the black jade scroll that Chen Xiao had seen for the first time.
Because it was a body of consciousness, its recovery speed was still very fast. When he arrived at the stone platform, the cracks on the body of consciousness had mostly disappeared.
He extended his right hand towards the black jade strips, and when Chen Xiao's fingers touched the black jade strips, the jade slips instantly turned into black light, and struck towards the space between Chen Xiao's eyebrows!
