Demon Dragon Mad God-Chapter 916 - 660: The Simulated Self

Some who haven’t tried yet are also uncertain, fearing they might fall here.

"So this is the entrance to the Inner Mansion!" Lin Feng’s eyes flashed with brilliance upon hearing these words, and his heart grew slightly excited.

The Inner Mansion must be the core of the Burning Sky City; once inside, there’s a chance to find the city’s treasure vault or the Artifact Refining Hall.

Without hesitation, Lin Feng stepped forward a few steps to the side of the middle-aged man who had just returned.

"Senior, may I ask what dangers lie at the entrance of the Inner Mansion?"

Lin Feng asked the middle-aged man in a deep voice. He didn’t rashly enter but wanted to clearly understand the situation.

Otherwise, if he encountered a deadly crisis, it would be too late for regrets.

This middle-aged man possessed the cultivation of the Martial King Realm Fourth Layer and only lasted for three breaths of time, so the entrance must be extremely challenging.

"An opponent identical to oneself, but with even higher cultivation!" the middle-aged man said indifferently before sitting down to heal his injuries.

"What?" Lin Feng was stunned upon hearing this, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"An opponent identical to oneself?" Lin Feng was confused. What did this mean?

Just then, footsteps sounded, and Lin Feng turned to see Sikong Yan walking boldly toward the Stone Gate.

Lin Feng immediately focused his attention, thinking that if Sikong Yan could enter, then he could as well.

Sikong Yan walked into the Stone Gate, and his figure immediately came to a halt.

Lin Feng widened his eyes, closely watching Sikong Yan.

About five breaths later, a white light flashed across Sikong Yan’s body, and then his figure vanished without a trace.

"Hmm? He’s in!" Lin Feng’s eyes lit up, knowing that Sikong Yan had successfully entered the Inner Mansion.

Sikong Yan’s success caused many in front of the Stone Gate to exclaim in astonishment.

"Who is this person? He used only five breaths of time!"

"Impressive! Just now, it seemed he mentioned being from the East Continent!"

"This person is very likely to enter the Myriad Venerate List in the future!"

The crowd was astonished, and discussions arose; though dozens had entered before, most took more than twenty breaths.

Only a few managed to pass the entrance test in less than five breaths.

The ability to pass the entrance test in under five breaths indicates an incredible combat ability beyond one’s realm, showing an extraordinary trump card as well.

Gong Lin smiled slightly, knowing that with Sikong Yan’s strength, entering the Inner Mansion shouldn’t be a problem.

Even he felt somewhat confident, though he wasn’t willing to take the risk.

Then, Gong Lin sat down cross-legged to wait for Sikong Yan’s return.

At that moment, a flash of shadow hastily entered the Stone Gate.

Gong Lin recognized the shadow and sneered coldly, for it was none other than Lin Feng.

"You better die in the array!"

Gong Lin thought viciously, hoping that Lin Feng would be injured even if not killed by the array, which would be satisfying for him.

The last Heaven’s Chosen Event in the East Continent was the greatest humiliation of his life; he was thrashed like a dead dog by Lin Feng in front of countless people.

In that battle, his body was pierced with over twenty bloody holes by the Spirit Sword, a truly miserable sight.

Thus, his hatred for Lin Feng was intense, knowing that he was no match for him prevented him from losing control long ago!

Lin Feng moved like lightning without hesitation; as soon as Sikong Yan entered, he rushed into the Stone Gate as well.

His strength surpassed Sikong Yan’s by far; with Sikong Yan entering effortlessly, how could he have any concerns?

Upon reaching the center of the Stone Gate, the scene before Lin Feng shifted, and he found himself in a void space.

Soon after, he saw a light flash in front of him, revealing a figure. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Lin Feng’s eyes instantly focused, as the figure looked exactly like him, with identical demeanor and aura, as if carved from the same mold.

However, this figure’s cultivation was not Heavenly Martial Master Ninth Layer but Martial King Realm First Layer.

Even more shocking to Lin Feng was that this other self was enveloped in Five-Colored Dark Power, mimicking his own Five Elements Dark Power.

Lin Feng quickly realized that entering the Inner Mansion required defeating a simulated version of oneself, whose cultivation was a layer higher.

This should be an illusory embodiment created by the formations at the Stone Gate, capable of simulating the entrant’s cultivation and martial arts.

The challenge was exceedingly difficult; how could an ordinary martial artist defeat a version of themselves with higher cultivation!

Same martial arts, different cultivation; achieving victory seemed nearly impossible.

Unless one possessed some powerful trump card that couldn’t be simulated by this formation, victory would be elusive.

In an instant of thought, Lin Feng’s expression remained calm, showing no fear, knowing he had absolute confidence.

"I don’t believe you can simulate my attribute fusion!" Lin Feng smiled slightly, instantly merging the five attributes of Dark Power into three within his body.

Without hesitation, he struck out with a straight punch.

The punch, devoid of any flair, obliterated everything with overwhelming tri-colored Fist Light, crushing everything, and slammed toward the other simulation body.

The Martial King Realm First Layer simulation body brandished a sword as light shimmered, unleashing the Silent Annihilation Sword Technique, striking at the Fist Light.

However, even though the simulation body wielded Five Elements Dark Power and the Silent Annihilation Sword Technique, the emitted Sword Qi remained Five-Colored.

Evidently, the simulation body couldn’t replicate Lin Feng’s attribute fusion.

Whoosh!

The unparalleled sharp Five-Colored Sword Qi, splitting heaven and earth, clashed with Lin Feng’s Fist Light in an instant.

Boom!

Without any suspense, a booming explosion shattered everything.

With one punch, the simulation body was instantly obliterated, disintegrating completely.

One move, finished!

Even though the simulation body mimicked the Five Elements Dark Power and the Silent Annihilation Sword Technique, without attribute fusion, even at Martial King Realm First Layer, it stood no chance against Lin Feng.

The difference between Five-Colored Dark Power and the fused tri-colored Dark Power was immensely vast, the power disparity unknown times over!

After annihilating the simulation body, Lin Feng immediately exited the void space and returned to the outside world.

Then, he felt a wave of dizziness as a white light enveloped his body, transporting him away.

In front of the Stone Gate, Gong Lin and the other martial artists were dumbfounded, staring blankly at Lin Feng’s vanished figure in silence.

A moment later, someone finally spoke in disbelief.

"How long did he take just now?"

"It seemed... it seemed less than two breaths!"

"Oh my heavens! How is that possible?"

Waves of shock rolled through their hearts; passing the entrance test in less than two breaths was incredible!

Even the previously successful Sang Tian took four breaths, yet this youth managed it in under two!

Everyone was astonished, shaking their heads in disbelief.

Gong Lin’s expression turned sour; he had hoped Lin Feng would perish in the array, never expecting Lin Feng to pass it faster than even Sikong Yan.

He knew Lin Feng’s strength was formidable, but such array tests didn’t correlate strongly with one’s strength.

Since the simulation body’s strength mirrored that of the entrant, he had doubted Lin Feng could pass easily.

Yet reality proved otherwise; Lin Feng’s speed through the Stone Gate array was unmatched.

"Damn it! Why is he so monstrous?" Gong Lin growled, feeling utterly forlorn.

He was a genius, yet compared to Lin Feng, he was practically a failure.

Lin Feng not only had overwhelming strength but his cultivation speed was seemingly absurd.

Four months ago, Lin Feng’s cultivation was at Heavenly Martial Master Fourth Layer, and in just four months, he caught up to him.

The more Gong Lin thought, the more frustrated he became, and the more hollow he felt inside; momentarily, his usually resolute martial heart began to waver.

His confidence, pride, and all perseverance crumbled to pieces under Lin Feng’s blazing talent.
