The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 950 - 519: Soul Shadow

Yan Xiaobao needed a lot of time to create this black energy, but since the unknown tomb, he hadn't engaged in such a serious battle. Since he hadn't needed to use it recently, he slowly created and accumulated more of this destructive energy. Although it harmed his heart, he also understood that it was one of his trump cards, and if their trial continued in this manner, they were likely to lose this battle.

"If we need it, I'll use it." Yan Xiaobao said decisively to Lan Feng; if possible, he would rather avoid exhausting his energy. His clone was also likely to use the black energy. If he indeed possessed it, then it was likely he would use it simultaneously without giving it an edge. Although he could use this black energy, he wasn't sure if he could defend against it.

After thinking it over, Lan Feng felt that his suggestion wasn't so great after all, as he realized that Yue's clone might also use the energy. Instead of overthinking the issue, the two of them pulled themselves together and focused their attention, as Lao's energy clone slowly disappeared from the battlefield.

"Qiao attack!" Yan Xiaobao ordered, this time he no longer dwelled on those thoughts, but fully focused on the battle. As more attacks fell on Qiao's clone, his martial power was used steadily. Despite this, she was still quite skillful and managed to launch some attacks before she was overwhelmed. So far, the most difficult to defeat was Wang Julong, but she was quite adept in defense and had a higher cultivation ability than others.

"Attack Deng Wu!" Yan Xiaobao shouted. Throughout the battle, Deng Wu and his clone's soul shadow were continuously quarreling, occasionally using martial power attacks on other groups. The clone's direct attacks were all blocked by Yan Xiaobao and Cai Jie, while the real Deng Wu's attacks helped defeat one clone after another.

Seeing Deng Wu taking on most of the opponent's attacks, Yan Xiaobao and Cai Jie thought they could take a slight break, as they were defending many attacks and their defensive power was very strong. However, they soon realized how wrong they were.

The more allies they had, the more desperate they became, as the remaining clones grew increasingly desperate because the attacks they had to defend against became more powerful.

"I'm going to try it." Yan Xiaobao said through gritted teeth, looking at his clone. Suddenly, a black mist emerged from his body, forming a protective layer around him and Cai Jie. This made it easier for them to withstand the rain impacting them.

As Yan Xiaobao released the black energy, he kept observing his other self, waiting for it to release its own black cloud to attack him and Cai Jie, but nothing happened. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Though Yan Xiaobao was surprised, the Bull was filled with shock. By now, the Bull was numbed by all the surprises they had created, but even so, his mind felt chaotic, feeling as if it stopped working as he watched the black energy.

What is this? he thought. I know the energy of Magic Creatures, I know the energy Humans use, but this energy is neither, and yet it is very similar. How can this be?

Though the Bull was shocked, Yan Xiaobao was delighted. It seemed that this black energy wasn't something his clone could utilize, allowing him to use it for protection. This would allow the two in front to breathe a bit more.

Seeing Yan Xiaobao releasing a black mist, everyone was initially surprised. This was because they had never seen Yan Xiaobao use this energy before, but they quickly adapted. Everyone relentlessly attacked Deng Wu's clone, and this clone slowly lost ground and became overwhelmed, disappearing into a shadow like all the others.

By now, only Sha Yun, Cai Jie, and Yan Xiaobao's clones remained, but they were filled with ferocity. They displayed their most outstanding abilities.

The entire ground where Yan Xiaobao and his friends stood had long turned to lava; the heat was intense but it also reflected their desperation. Although Sha Yun's energy clone could use the lava, it was useless for the group who had traversed the wasteland and acquired Ancestor World Power to protect their bodies from the heat. Because they had learned the incomplete Phoenix Descendant, they even learned how to give their Ancestor World Power fiery properties. For these reasons, fire was now useless against them, unless the firepower was much stronger than it currently was.

Standing on the lava and still covered by black energy, Yan Xiaobao launched a martial power attack on Sha Yun's clone, and everyone followed his lead. Cai Jie used martial power attacks more than Wu Yue, his life depended on it.

Now surrounded by black energy, no martial power attack could touch them, but suddenly, Yan Xiaobao shouted in surprise. It wasn't Sha Yun that made him cry out, but his own clone, as he saw a fiery aura enveloping this clone. His entire body turned red and blurry. It was clear he was preparing to use Phoenix Descent.

"Everyone back up!" Yan Xiaobao shouted, although everyone else was concerned about Yan Xiaobao, there was nothing they could do but comply. This ensured he not only had to protect himself but also the friends behind him.

The black cover over Cai Jie disappeared, and the thickness around Yan Xiaobao increased. Without any reservation, he exerted all his strength to shield in front of him. As he did so, he noticed that Sha Yun's and Cai Jie's clones had vanished. This would be the final clash and the last fight to determine the victor.

Indeed, if they failed now, they could try again, but none of these experts had the concept of failure in their minds. Watching all surrounding energy being completely absorbed by Yan Xiaobao's black energy, the Bull became very alarmed. Yan Xiaobao turned into a vortex continuously absorbing energy. Even the Ancestor World Power from his clone's attack was drawn in and devoured. This energy entered his body, propelling his strength to sky-high levels.

The Phoenix Descent his energy clone planned to use quickly lost all its power. Instead, it was absorbed by Yan Xiaobao, who felt his body growing stronger. As the last drop of Ancestor World Power disappeared from his clone, it turned into a shadow that slowly vanished.

Yan Xiaobao won the victory for his team. However, as he still stood, the black energy swirled violently. When it eventually faded away, they noticed blood slowly trickling from the corner of his mouth, and the aura around his body was too chaotic to comprehend.

Rushing to Yan Xiaobao, all his friends were concerned for him. As they reached his side, Yan Xiaobao looked at them with a weary smile. "I'll rest now." He said, before collapsing into Sha Yun's arms, who gently lowered him to the ground.

"You will all stay here until he recovers, then we will proceed to the next trial." The Bull said in a stern voice. He had never seen such black energy before, and seeing such a low technically skilled expert execute such a skill worried him greatly.

Before proceeding to the next trial, he hoped to question this person. Not because he felt deceived, but because what Yan Xiaobao had used was something even the Holy Masters could not replicate. Clearly, this was beyond their understanding. How could Yan Xiaobao comprehend something even the Holy Masters could not? Pondering this, the Bull felt uneasy.

Yan Xiaobao slept soundly, and while he slept, the chaotic aura around his body slowly relaxed, becoming more stable again. When he opened his eyes, Yan Xiaobao felt he had absorbed all the energy from the clones, doubling the Ancestor World Power flowing within him. He could also sense slight changes within his body. His body felt much lighter than before, yet his strength had increased. His physical defenses had improved, and his control over the Ancestor World Power had become more proficient.

Yan Xiaobao felt very shocked at his sudden surge in power. He never knew the black energy he created had such a potent ability to devour the world around him. Looking inward, he found that the black energy he had stored for a long time had decreased by more than half, weighing heavily on his mind, he slowly began to cultivate and create more.
