WAAAaa…
The immense energies inside the Heaven Exploding Cave Abode died down, as a man who possessed facial features beyond compare stood up from his seared cultivation mat with half his body on fire and the other half burned to a crisp.
His body was rapidly healing; however, the lightning used by the Heavens when overcoming a tribulation as great as the boundary between the Tribulation Transcendance Realm and the Mahayana Realm was capable of killing even the hardest-skinned of people.
And that wasn't to even mention the fact that he had attempted to break through while in possession of a Physique as ridiculously overpowered as the 'Singularity'.
To be frank, he should be thanking Lady Luck for even giving him the chance to breakthrough something like the Mahayana Realm under such conditions—conditions that aimed to impede his limitless path of cultivation.
However, in the end, the Crimson Devil Lord was able to successfully break through, and along with that breakthrough came a few system notifications informing him of all that he had gained.
BLING!
*Ding!* *You have successfully broken through into the Early Mahayana Realm!*
*Ding!* *With this breakthrough, you are now able to use Evolution Essence to create 'Primordial Essence Clones'.*
*Ding!* *All of these clones will possess 100% of the strength that you do; however, to buy them, you will need to spend 1 Trillion Evolution Essence with 10 times the cost for each further Primordial Essence Clone that you purchase.*
Following all of these system notifications, Azmodeus became a little astonished by what he was just told he could do with the Infinite Evolution System.
I can buy clones that have 100% of my total strength…? This is surely a broken ability... but I am not one to deny a free meal…
It was through this thought that he immediately spent all the Evolution Essence he could spare.
And every single point of that Evolution Essence went toward buying Primordial Essence Clones!
After this spending spree, he was able to acquire not just a single clone equal to him in strength, but over 20 of them!
With this new force at his beck and call, he would be able to stay inside his Cave Abode and peacefully cultivate while having these extremely strong clones deal with all the intruders that his Mirror Mirage's were unable to deal with!
"..." Azmodeus was looking at 20+ nearly identical versions of himself, all of whom had no consciousness of their own and needed his consciousness as a base for which to make theirs.
It's the same thing as with my Mirror Mirage's, but I feel like the upper limit of the intelligence of these clones will be far higher than what it is with the Mirror Mirage's…
And his theory was soon proven to be true, as he put his hand up to all the Primordial Essence Clones and initiated the consciousness-sharing process.
After which, all of the Primordial Essence Clones seemed to come to life, as every single one of them instantly moved out, almost as if they already knew what the main body's intentions were.
It looks like everything was as I speculated it to be…
He stared at all the Primordial Essence Clones tending to their individual objectives with a small smile on his face.
And one clone in particular was currently on its way to the Ice Goddess Sect, and its objective was to meet the Sect Leader…!
...
*Step Step*
Azmodeus's split consciousness, in the form of a Primordial Essence Clone, took inaudible steps on top of an extremely wide, icy blue structure.
What he was standing on was the Main Castle, where the Sect Leader of the Ice Goddess Sect lived, and it was also a place that stretched on for thousands of miles!
He was merely on one of the extending sections of the castle, namely, the Western Wing, and inside this part of the lavishly decorated castle was where the servants prepared everything needed for a typical day in the Ice Goddess Sect Leader's home.
The snow blew heavily on this day; however, it wasn't like that was anything unusual for the Leader of the Ice Goddess Sect, Bing Nu Shen, as she, herself, was the one who conjured up a never-ending snow storm over every plot of land that made up the Sect.
It might seem unusual for her to do something like that, but it worked quite well in assisting all disciples in their cultivation, as most of them either possessed an ice-related technique or physique.
Nonetheless, an immortal-like man in flowing black and gold robes was elegantly making his way across the top of the Ice Castle using his Flash Step.
On his short stroll, he looked at the tens of thousands of dimly lit rooms through their blue square windows and saw many scandalous scenes.
It looks like these Ice Goddess Sect members really know how to let loose, huh…?
However, despite the tantalizing views from all the castle rooms, he traveled along the dark blue shillings until eventually making his way below a tower that stretched upward for thousands of meters.
The tower spiraled a little and had a number of rough edges that made it seem like it had been damaged in some sort of battle, but such scars only made it look like some natural piece of art.
There was also this daunting feeling that one got when they looked at the tower, but for Azmodeus, he could feel nothing but wonder when viewing the mysterious lines and marks that adorned the tower off of hanging blue and gray tapestries.
This place is fitting for the home of someone termed the 'Ice Terror' by those who had the guts to make her their enemy.
He was becoming increasingly curious about the woman who was deemed one of the top 10 strongest beings in the Northern Spirits Continent.
And such curiosity wasn't left unsated for long, as his obscure, shadowy figure made its way to a window seal that was covered by an esoteric group of teal-colored vines—vines that should also have acted like some sort of concealing barrier.
However, in front of the Peak-Heaven Rank Crimson Devil Lord, such an elaborate veneer was no match at all…
