Chapter 2328 The Clown
"What?" The man in black robes was clearly shocked and stood there stunned for a moment.
Those in the distance were also shocked upon hearing this.
"Is this... really true? The truth of the mythological era is actually like this?" someone murmured to themselves.
“Impossible, impossible…” Venerable Black Flame shook his head repeatedly.
All of this shattered his understanding.
"How could this be? This is completely different from the records in our Xuan Tian Soul Ruins!" Youhuang was even more shocked.
Dongfang Li was equally astonished: "There is no such record in the Tianyan Sect!"
As she spoke, her gaze swept across the room and she suddenly saw Luo Tian and Brother Yun beside her.
The two men, however, remained remarkably calm.
They didn't seem shocked by the news.
For a moment, her heart skipped a beat, and she asked nervously, "Lord Luo Tian, Senior Yun...did you two already know all along?"
Upon hearing this, Brother Yun remained silent for a moment before saying, "I didn't know at first, but after the lockdown was lifted, some things happened that made me somewhat suspicious!"
After he was unsealed, he met the Lord of the Divine Wilderness and went to the Myriad Origin Spirit Land to learn the truth about the Great Dao Realm. With some fragmented information, he vaguely guessed some things.
Hearing the words of that black substance now is merely confirmation.
Dongfang Li gasped instantly, turned to look at Luo Tian, and said, "So, Lord Luo Tian, you are also..."
But then Luo Tian slapped his forehead and said, "I get it! That black substance is what was sealed away, right?"
Everyone:...
Dongfang Li's lips twitched, and he shook his head, saying, "I knew it, how could you possibly know these things..."
Meanwhile, the man in black robes suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Putting all that aside, why would my true form know of your existence? And why did you betray me?"
The voice cackled twice and said, "Your original body was unaware of my existence; it was I who found him using a wisp of divine thought!"
"At that time, he unexpectedly obtained the Great Evolution Stone Tablet and was being chased by several Great Dao Realm experts! It must be said that your true body was indeed powerful. Although those Great Dao Realm experts did not want to be discovered, so they only dared to control their Dao artifacts to attack him from tens of thousands of miles away, the power was still extremely terrifying. An ordinary peak Breaking Dao Realm expert would have died long ago!"
"However, your true form actually managed to escape several life-threatening situations! It was this action that drew my attention!"
The man in black robes exclaimed in surprise, "Your idea? Weren't you sealed away?"
The voice chuckled sinisterly, "Sealed by someone? Heh, what a joke! No one in this world can seal me! I have merely sealed my physical body and soul here! But my consciousness can roam the heavens, recruiting those with extraordinary talents who are in dire straits, giving them a way out, and making them work for me!"
Hearing these words, the others didn't react much, but Dongfang Li was slightly disturbed.
She suddenly looked in the direction of the man in black robes, and couldn't help but think of her ancestor.
"Could it be... that the Ancestor came to the Realm of No Return for this reason and will not leave again?" she thought to herself.
"What do you want my true form to do?" the black-robed man roared.
The voice laughed, "My physical body has encountered some problems and cannot leave the Heavenly Realm! Therefore, I need a new body to house my soul! So, I'll have your original body find me a new, sufficiently powerful body!"
"And your original body, after learning all this, immediately proposed to refine a fragment of his bone, which had been transformed into a clone, along with a piece of the Great Evolution Stone Slab, into a new physical body to serve as my vessel!"
The man in black robes' pupils dilated in shock as he couldn't help but recall the scene from a few days prior.
At that time, his seal was forcibly broken by his main body, who gave him a fragment of the Great Evolution Stone Tablet and told him that he planned to have all his clones break through to the Great Dao Realm with the help of the Great Evolution Stone Tablet fragment, and then merge them into one to form the most powerful Great Dao Realm.
At that time, I didn't find it strange.
They even felt that this was how it should be.
Now he realized that it was all a conspiracy.
"So, my original self... already realized that I had developed self-awareness?" he said in a trembling voice.
"Of course! I must say, your true form is not only more talented than you, but also smarter, and even more insane!" the voice mocked.
"Damn it!" the man in black robes exclaimed indignation.
At this moment, his Dao heart was on the verge of collapse.
He had always believed that his original self had not noticed his abnormality, which was why it had given him the fragment of the Great Evolution Stone Tablet.
At that time, he thought he was the one in control of everything.
He also fantasized that after he broke through to the Great Dao Realm, he would actively merge with other clones to replace his original body and become the new original body.
But now he realizes that he was exposed from the very beginning.
All of one's actions are within the calculations of the original body.
The thought of how he appeared like a clown in the eyes of the original being filled the black-robed man with boundless resentment.
"Damn it, damn it!" he roared in frustration.
At that moment, the voice laughed and said, "Alright! Now, it's time for you to hand over this body!"
As he spoke, black light suddenly burst forth from his body.
"Ah—" The man in black robes let out a miserable scream. He felt his entire soul begin to twist and turn.
"No! Spare me, I... I can find you a better body..." the black-robed man screamed and begged for mercy.
"Heh, do you think I'd believe that?" the voice said with a cold laugh.
laugh!
In an instant, the black-robed man's body began to be covered by the black substance.
His body began to tremble uncontrollably.
The man in black robes felt his consciousness becoming somewhat scattered and unclear.
"I'm not lying, I really... really know... a stronger physical body..." The man in black struggled to turn around and look in Luo Tian's direction, slowly raising one hand.
However, before he could make his next move...
call!
His consciousness vanished completely, like a bubble in the ocean.
disappeared.
at the same time……
boom!
A powerful and domineering aura erupted from his body.
This aura was far more powerful than when the black-robed man had just broken through to the Great Dao Realm.
call!
At that moment, the man in black opened his eyes again.
His eyes were no longer white; they were completely dark.
"Hahaha! I did it! I'm free again!" He then screamed wildly.
