Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Battling Yourself?!

After confirming this special state, Gu Xing’s gaze turned to Vera’s brand-new attribute panel.

Power, Constitution, Speed—these three formerly weak attributes had all broken through to the 60,000-point threshold!

This was already the limit of the Commander level!

As for the Spiritual Attribute…

It had directly surpassed 60,000 points, reaching a terrifying 80,000 points!

At present, purely in terms of Spiritual Attribute, even Liu Li was completely no match for Vera!

And apart from various attributes…

Vera’s skills had also been completely renewed!

[Life Spirit: Upon activating this form, Spiritual Attribute is increased by 400%, and skills like Natural Lament, Elf Monarchy, and Life Blooming consume half the usual energy]

[Reincarnation: Vera can complete a transformation through manipulating her own Life Energy’s budding, growing, and withering stages. Each complete cycle results in a qualitative leap in strength (current stage: Budding)]

[Life Law: Can start to invoke the Power of Life Law]

Similar to Liu Li’s Destruction Angel and Guardian Angel Forms, Life Spirit Form also granted a terrifying 400% increase.

The “Reincarnation” skill was even more incredible…

As long as Vera could successfully complete the Life Reincarnation phases of budding, growing, and withering, her strength could achieve a leap-like enhancement.

If that’s the case…

As long as Vera undergoes transformation enough times, Vera’s strength seemingly could surpass Liu Li!

As for the Life Law, it was within Gu Xing’s expectations.

After all, with the myth nine stars’ talent, comprehending a thread of Power of Laws was only natural.

After carefully checking all of Vera’s attribute changes, Gu Xing finally felt at ease.

Unlike Liu Li’s all-round approach of both offense and defense, Vera pushed her group attack ability to the extreme.

At the same time, she also awakened the one-of-a-kind “Reincarnation” skill!

This already fully justified her myth nine stars’ talent!

At this moment.

Vera was glaring at Qing Shuang with resentful eyes, her emerald eyes filled with unwillingness.

She was just a bit away from succeeding herself.

But this Ghost Race…

“Qing Shuang, why did you stop me?”

Qing Shuang’s expression remained unchanged, her cyan hair gently swaying in the energy’s ripple:

“You cannot force the master to do anything.”

This sentence struck Vera like a heavy hammer, leaving her speechless.

She opened her mouth but couldn’t find any reason to refute.

Gu Xing also noticed this scene.

So he spoke up to stop the confrontation between the two Guardian Beasts:

“Alright, Vera, Qing Shuang, get ready to acquire the Divine Pattern.”

As for Vera’s heat state, he would naturally find a way to resolve it after leaving the Secret Realm.

But for now…

Gu Xing looked up at the golden Divine Pattern floating in mid-air.

The urgent matter was to get his hands on it!

Upon hearing Gu Xing’s command, Qing Shuang and Vera immediately calmed their emotions and turned to face the floating golden Divine Pattern.

Inside the Beast Taming Space, seeing this, Liu Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, retracting her rampant Fire of Destruction completely.

Thankfully…

The annoying elf didn’t succeed!

Once the Fire of Destruction dissipated, only then did the Tree of Life dare to unfold its branches and leaves, swaying gently as if having survived a catastrophe.

Outside, Gu Xing focused his mind and released a thread of Spiritual Power to touch the Divine Pattern.

“Buzz!”

The entire space trembled.

Immediately afterward, a golden curtain of light descended, fully enveloping Gu Xing and his Guardian Beasts.

“This test seems different…” Gu Xing frowned slightly.

And at this moment, Lilith in the Beast Taming Space seemed to realize something and spoke up to remind:

“Be cautious! This test is likely about confronting yourself!”

Seeing Gu Xing’s puzzled expression, Lilith quickly explained:

“The previous Demon Race was generated by the Divine Pattern based on the data of the Demon Race that entered the Secret Realm.”

“And now…”

“I suspect the Divine Pattern is going to replicate you as the final test!”

This hypothesis wasn’t without basis.

Ancient texts did record that some Divine Patterns would set trials based on the challenger’s own prototype.

Yet unexpectedly, after hearing this explanation, Gu Xing’s frown eased instead.

To replicate him according to the strength upon entering the Secret Realm?

It must be noted that during the Secret Realm exploration, he hadn’t used his “Soul-devouring” Talent and had kept his “Sovereign” Talent hidden.

Only Qing Shuang and Vera displayed their full strength at any point…

But now Vera was completely different from when she first entered the Secret Realm!

Gu Xing’s gaze fell upon Vera beside him, his lips slightly curling up.

This challenge, which was incredibly challenging for others, could be…

Incredibly simple in front of him!

The talent of myth nine stars and myth five stars are two entirely different concepts!

Just then, the profound mysterious aura in the space suddenly coalesced.

Not far ahead of Gu Xing, a figure identical to him was slowly taking form.

Indeed, as Lilith speculated, the Divine Pattern had truly replicated a “Gu Xing”!

Facing oneself?

Gu Xing smiled.

He intended for Vera to handle this fight!

“Vera!”

Upon hearing her master’s call, Vera immediately understood.

A trace of battle intent flashed in her emerald eyes, and three green Divine Rings suddenly lit up behind her:

“Life Spirit Form·Qi!”

As the Divine Rings radiated a dazzling brilliance, Vera’s attribute panel instantly updated:

[Life Spirit (Vera)]

[Talent: Myth Nine Stars]

[Level: Commander Tier Nine]

[Status: Heat Period (due to Heart of Nature defect)]

[Power: 60,000]

[Constitution: 60,000]

[Spirit: 80,000→320,000]

[Speed: 60,000]

[Skills: Life Spirit Form (including Natural Lament, Elf Monarchy, Life Blooming, etc.), Reincarnation, Life Domain, Life Law]

With the 400% terrifying increase from Life Spirit Form, Vera’s Spiritual Attribute skyrocketed to 320,000 points!

Truly overwhelming!

As for the replicated Vera across the battlefield…

Even under the blessing of Elf Monarchy, her Spiritual Attribute was only 150,000 points…

The difference between the two was more than double!

But what Gu Xing wanted to test was not Vera’s attacking ability…

His real concern was Vera’s long-standing weakness:

Defense ability!

The replicated “Qing Shuang” on the opposite side was the perfect test subject.

The freely void-traveling Qing Shuang was initially the greatest threat to the predominantly Spiritual Type Vera.

Especially given Vera’s other relatively average attributes.

Sure enough, just as Gu Xing expected, as the battle began, replica Qing Shuang vanished into the void instantly.

The next moment, her silhouette appeared in front of Vera like an apparition, simultaneously activating “Heaven-Breaking” and “Ghost King’s Body”, pushing her Strength Attribute directly to 270,000 points!

If this strike connected, the consequence would be unthinkable…

Yet at the critical moment, countless green vines emerged from nowhere, binding the replica Qing Shuang firmly like they had a life of their own.

Lined with the Life Law patterns, the vines held firm despite the replica Qing Shuang’s struggles.

This scene made both Qing Shuang and Fei Yue, standing next to Gu Xing, have their pupils contract sharply.

For the replicated Qing Shuang was entirely modeled after the current Qing Shuang.

If Vera could easily pin her down, that meant even if the real Qing Shuang took action….

It was likely the result would be the same!
