Chapter 240: The one thing it cannot copy!

"Have you recovered yet?" Duan Li asked with a worried look.

"..." the clone was totally speechless and looked extremely wretched with its swollen red cheeks.

Recover your mother!

It was your fault that I got a severe headache initially, and to make matter worse, you even claimed your 'slaps' will make me better!

Are you blind? Am I any better? I look no different than a swollen pig right now!

Better your head!

Better your grandfather! Your grandmother! Your uncle!

I curse your whole ancestors!

At this moment, the clone had the most devastating emotional breakdown it ever had. Thankfully, the headache had subsided for now, but it was definitely not due to the 'slaps' of the other party.

He had copied countless cultivators and still retained some of their memories, as a result, whenever he tried to recall his true self, the fragmented memories in his brain seemed to seethe out frantically!

He now realized that as long as he didn't try to recall who he was originally, the pain would subside, but at the same time, he felt really sad about it.

How long has it been since then? It was too long to count. After all, this place has been in existence for millenniums!

Still, this was the role he always played in this Crafted Space. Knowing his real identity does not matter anymore, for he was always a clone for as far as he had remembered, the clone let out a subtle sigh.

However, due to these mixed emotions welling up inside him, his tongue accidentally let out a slip of something that he shouldn't have said.

"If only you continued to repel my attacks instead of continuously spouting some garbage, I would be able to adapt more to how you use your powers and be closer to your original potential.."

Obviously, at this moment he quickly realized that he just messed things up and immediately shut his mouth. But what was already said couldn't be taken back. Thus, he couldn't help but to curse his damned mouth.

Hearing what his clone just said, Duan Li showed a blank look for a moment in surprise, before a crafty smile crept up on his face, like a gambler that just won his luck.

Jackpot!

"Oh? So that's how you increased your powers.." Duan Li said in realization.

Previously, because I wanted to show him that a copy would always be inferior, I ended up using a slightly more powerful but similar attacks to repel him each time to exert my dominance..

But, it turns out that he was actually observing and assimilating the knowledge on how I use my skills!

What a sneaky little fellow!

If that was indeed the case, then I shouldn't be using any more of my powers. Otherwise, things would definitely be blown out of proportions if he could tap into 100 percent of my true powers!

Duan Li's mind swiftly analyzed their previous blows, and he made a rough guess in his head.

He should be at least 50 to 60 percent of my full capabilities right now..

On the other hand, realizing that he was an idiot, the clone no longer held itself in ceremony. With a loud yell, his spiritual Qi within his meridians and Qi pathways rocketed once more!

This time, it was even more intense!

"AHHHHHHHHH!!"

BOOMMM!!

The ground began to crack, the water within the lake started to boil and evaporate, and the thatched house beside it crumbled down.

Duan Li's clone had entered Super Mode 2!

"So.. this is the kind of pressure I was radiating out while in that form?" Duan Li was surprised with his eyes twitching.

With his Tetra Soul Sense, he could feel the pressure that his clone was pressing onto him right now, it was extremely massive and suffocating, akin to being impeded within a deep trench of the ocean!

All these while, it was him being the center of this power, but now that he was the spectator for once, he finally realized how incredulous this ability of his were.

It was totally overpower!

To put this into another perspective that could be understood, his base form was already powerful enough, such that even Golden Core realm experts would find trouble dealing with him.

Then, Super mode elevated this ability further by several times, and back when Duan Li was still in the Foundation Establishment realm, he could already beat Cao Tengfei of the Dark Sect into a swollen pig in this form.

Then what about Super Mode 2?

Well, in his current Core Formation realm, if he were to use Super Mode 2 form to its maximum potential, then even an immortal on the level of Dugu Liubai, the Guardian of the Second region, would pack his bags and run away!

This was a level of power that should not be trifled with, and could be summarized into a single word, Powerful!

If there was a single flaw to this Super Mode 2, its that stamina and spiritual Qi would be burned like crazy!

Duan Li's clone then ascended to the sky as it looked down at Duan Li with a pair of wrathful eyes.

"Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. You thought that you could beat me as long as I don't reach the same potential as yours and you are planning to hold back while using other means." the clone spoke in disdain.

It then continued, "Now that I am in this form, even if it is only at 50 percent of its true output right now, there is no way you can beat me unless you push yourself!"

Duan Li narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

This copy of his was right.

After he discovered that this clone could only increase its power output in relation to the amount of output that he showed it, he had thought about using the Little Sword, Di Rou and all his pets to deal with the clone while he suppressed it.

But now, he could no longer do that.

Super Mode 2 could even push immortals to be serious, thus a collaborative attack would now be useless against it.

This was similar to how a million ants working together could not hope to stop the stomping of an elephant!

"Damn it, I accidentally provoked him a little too much.. now it won't be easy to deal with him anymore unless I am in the same form as him!" Duan Li thought.

What to do?

Then, Duan Li's glance caught something that he didn't managed to notice before because he was too busy cosplaying as the latter's father.

He saw that this clone of his did not have a copy of Little Sword dangling on its right earlobe! Furthermore, it doesn't seem to have a copy of his black spatial ring too!

Could it be?

Thinking about this, Duan Li no longer hesitate as a glint of determination flashed in his eyes.

I could only bet on this probability!

"Very well, you want me to show you what my true power is like if I am at my full potential? I shall endulge you."

Raising his palm towards the sky, the clouds began to turn dark, reminiscent of an impending thunderstorm!

BOOMM!! BOOMM!!

"What is going on?" the clone swiftly looked up at the changed sky with wary.

What kind of ability is this? Why didn't I know of it?

One has to know that my specialty involves copying 100 percent of my original host's skill arts and techniques without a single flaw, but no matter how he tried to recall if he ever had such a technique, he couldn't!

Did he just made a new technique on the spot?

But that is impossible!

Noticing the awful look on the face of his clone, Duan Li chuckled.

"It seems that my previous thoughts were correct. While you did managed to copy all my abilities down to my handsome appearance, there is one thing that you cannot copy!"

The clone was perturbed after it heard this and couldn't help but to grit its teeth upon realization of what the other party meant.

"No.. that cannot be.. this Crafted Space.. no, the whole Eternal Maze would not allow you to use items stored inside another space!!" the clone shouted out in total disbelief.

"HAHAHAHA! Who do you think I am?" Duan Li laughed out. At this moment, his presence was extremely domineering, and a hint of arrogance could be heard from his tone.

"I am the one.. who challenges the very fate itself!" Duan Li then bellowed;

"Come to me, My All-Slaying Eternal Great Axe!"

With this shout that rattled the entire heaven, flashes of golden lightning could be seen bolting through the sky from all the eight cardinal directions!

BOOMM!!

Congregrating on the center right above Duan Li, as if the instrument of armageddon itself had appeared on the lands of the mortal, this bold lightning descended down with a tempest momentum that could annihilate planets and stars and landed onto Duan Li's right palm!

BOOOMMM!!
