The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 708: Chapter 708: Monster Slaughtering Array

Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang!!!

Fang Lin retreated, but the other Fang Lin facing him did likewise.

“A body as sturdy, a realm as level, a power similar, how are we going to fight?” Fang Lin gritted his teeth, feeling the difficulty mounting.

The other Fang Lin was exactly like himself in every aspect. Despite trying everything, Fang Lin found it hard to defeat him.

Without a pause, the two identical beings clashed again. Punches and kicks landed continuously and aggressively.

This was a truly evenly matched fight- Fang Lin was facing a mirror image of himself. The uncanny experience bewildered him.

“Even though our realms, bodies, and appearances are the same, I am the real me: the strongest!” Fang Lin had an indomitable belief in his victory, unyielding and becoming more determined in the face of challenge.

As time ticked away, Fang Lin seemed to be gaining the upper hand gradually, overpowering his doppelgänger.

It wasn’t that his opponent grew weaker, but through prolonged and fervent combat, Fang Lin himself became stronger bit by bit.

Previously, their powers were matched. But by enhancing himself through incessant fights, Fang Lin outmatched his opponent who didn’t have that ability.

This was the essence of the test. If you can’t defeat an opponent on equal footing, you can’t call yourself a supreme being.

Only through improved combat abilities and defeating oneself could one be deemed as the strongest.

Eventually, as Fang Lin’s strength continued to increase, his counterpart fell further behind. Ultimately, Fang Lin won, breaking half of his opponent’s body with a punch.

“Congratulations, you have passed the test.” The icy voice echoed, congratulating Fang Lin but seemingly devoid of any genuine joy.

Fang Lin panted heavily. That certainly was a challenging test with his realm suppressed to Human Origin Realm, making him uncomfortable alongside having to improve himself through combat. It had been rather difficult.

Thankfully, he had passed the first test.

A surge of Inner Strength flowed within Fang Lin, he felt his level recover to the fifth Echo Realm. Although, not quite his original level, it felt much more comfortable than when he was at the fifth Human Origin Realm.

Soon, another figure appeared still resembling Fang Lin down to the finest details. Its Aura was at the fifth Echo Realm, its eyes as cold as the first realm Fang Lin.

“Defeat it, and you will proceed to the next test,” said the fifth Echo Realm Fang Lin.

Fang Lin nodded. He understood this test well by now. Initially, he had to defeat himself at the fifth Human Origin Realm and now, himself at the fifth Echo Realm.

With the previous experience under his belt, Fang Lin was already confident. Without any moment of hesitation, he charged right into the fight.

Another intense round of combat ensued, ten times more intense than the previous. After all, the previous was merely at the fifth Human Origin Realm, and now they were at the fifth Echo realm, the differences were astronomical.

Boom, Boom, Boom!!!

The two collided, with both of them unleashing punches relentlessly upon each other, trying to beat the other with overwhelming force.

However, the result was a stalemate, as neither could suppress each other by any means.

“It’s a pity that I can’t use my Nine Palace Bag, otherwise it would make winning much easier,” Fang Lin murmured.

Within this nebulous space, the Nine Palace Bag was unusable. One could only rely on their raw strength to pass the test.

No wonder, if one could use belongings in the test, what’s the point of it?

Real strength must be fought for!

Although for the moment it seemed impossible to win, Fang Lin remained calm. After all, he had absolute confidence in himself.

In the outer world, the situation outside Demon Suppressing City worsened.

The bodies of many Beast-killing Guards fell outside the city, their deaths were brutal with no corpse left intact.

With the giant turtle phantom closing in, the last protective array guarding Demon Suppressing City was stretched to its limits.

The Silver Fox made its move, releasing a torrent from its mouth that crashed heavily onto the light of the array.

Boom, Boom, Boom!!!

The light of the array shimmered violently, waxing and waning. @@novelbin@@

Roar!!!

Several Demon Kings launched their mightiest attack, and with a cracking sound, the light of the array finally shattered.

The very instant the array broke, panic spread amongst the many formidable beings on the city wall, but oddly enough, the Demon Suppressing King remained unnervingly calm.

“Monster Slaughtering Array, Rise!” The Demon Suppressing King roared suddenly.

Simultaneously, four blood-red pillars of light rose from within Demon Suppressing City, piercing the sky.

The appearance of the four blood-red pillars placed Demon Suppressing City under a layer of red light once more.

In an instant, the demon beasts trembled in fear. Such a terrifying aura was emitted from the red light, similar to pooling blood.

“What is this?” Prince Hai was startled, not expecting an additional array to still be underutilized in Demon Suppressing City.

“This is the last real line of defence, an offensive array of Demon Suppressing City. It was engineered to annihilate these damned demon beasts,” the Demon Suppressing King declared coldly.

The red light thrashed and conjured up several red sword shadows.

Whizz, Whizz, Whizz!!!

The next moment, countless red sword shadows flew out, plunging into the demon beasts’ midst, immediately eliciting the shrieks of the demon beasts.

This Monster Slaughtering Array was formidable, it forced even the Demon Kings to retreat from the red sword shadow, they dare not resist with their bodies.

The demon beasts below the Demon Kings suffered heavy casualties, with many falling in hordes, including some from the Four Transformations realm.

“Brilliant! Kill as many as possible!”

“With this array protecting the city, we’re safe.”

“Didn’t expect the Demon Suppressing King to have an ace up his sleeve, it really surprised us.”

…

With the crisis temporarily alleviated, a huge sigh of relief was given by everyone on the city wall, but before they could celebrate, the giant turtle phantom was upon them.

The terrifying demonic Qi flooded the surroundings, even with just an illusion, it was an inconceivably powerful force.

“Not good! I’m afraid the Monster Slaughtering Array won’t be able to resist an attack from the giant turtle phantom. Are we destined to fight to the death after all?” The Demon Suppressing King laughed bitterly, drawing forth his long sword.

Boom!!!

The giant turtle phantom roared, its overwhelming demonic Qi collided like a hammer, hitting the red light fiercely.

At impact, the Monster Slaughtering Array immediately collapsed, and the four commanding figures collapsed coughing blood, feeble and slumped on the ground.

Since the Monster Slaughtering Array used these four as its foundation, with a single blow from the giant turtle phantom breaking the array, they were the ones to receive the backlash, suffering severe injuries.

With the red light breaking, Demon Suppressing City, standing for a thousand years, was left utterly exposed to the group of demon beasts.
