.

In some nameless valley, a waterfall plunged downward, its roar thunderous, its mist thick and widespread.

On the cliff edge at the top of the waterfall, ’s true body sat cross-legged amidst the branches of a pine tree, his eyes closed in deep contemplation.

The inspiration from the Human Path had come with startling suddenness. treated it with utmost importance, setting aside all current tasks in both his true body and clone to commune with it together.

At this moment, within the Supreme Immortal .

An army had already taken shape.

Over a hundred thousand Force Path phantoms stood silently upon the grassland, motionless, like stone statues or sculptures.

Every one of them shared the same appearance, bearing a close resemblance to ’s true body, spaced equally apart, neat and orderly, packed densely together.

This was the Myriad Self Army had generated by activating the Myriad Self Immortal Gu.

clung to that spark of inspiration. This time, however, he abandoned the Myriad Self Immortal Gu, instead activating the Myriad Self killer move.

Before long, another large mass of Force Path phantoms took form, standing together in a group.

considered for a moment, then activated the Myriad Self killer move a third time. This time, however, he did not use an Immortal-level killer move, but the most fundamental Mortal-level one.

At its core was the Fourth Transformation Full Effort Gu, supplemented by other Gu like the Bitter Labor Gu, Borrowed Strength Gu, Self-Reliance Gu, Essence Refining Gu, Earth Force Gu, Water Force Gu, Wind Force Gu, Electricity Gu, Fire Power Gu, Hidden Soul Beast Garb Gu, Breath Concealing Gu, and so on.

In the end, it formed the Myriad Self killer move, which split off a sliver of his soul, instantly creating a vast number of Force Path phantoms!

However, because it was a Mortal-level killer move, these Force Path phantoms were far inferior to the phantom armies produced earlier.

But this was the origin.

Back during the struggle for the Royal Court, had combined the Six-Arm Heavenly Corpse King, Myriad Self, and referenced various great killer moves from the Soul Path, Wisdom Path, Qi Path, and Slave Path to create this move. It solved an age-old problem, achieving a fusion of Slave and Force Paths, and thus pioneered this technique.

Later, building upon this foundation, he had successively developed the Great Hand of Force and the Reverse Flow Body Protection Seal. The former, at the right time, had granted a significant offensive advantage, once serving as a powerful method in his arsenal. The latter was the key trump card that allowed him, at the Seventh Transformation, to contend against Eighth Transformation opponents!

Whether the Myriad Self killer move, the Great Hand of Force, or the Reverse Flow Body Protection Seal, all were exceptionally outstanding, the cream of the crop among supreme killer moves.

Now, seized upon a thread of Human Path inspiration, tracing it back to its source, once again refining the most original Mortal-level Myriad Self killer move.

’s true body and clone calculated simultaneously, while the clone was also bathed in the halo of wisdom!

The killer move was quickly modified. activated the Myriad Self killer move for the fourth time.

This time, it similarly produced a large number of Force Path phantoms, yet unlike the three previous large groups, although the phantoms here still stood still, their expressions were all different, bizarre and varied.

Some were crying, some laughing, some frowning in distress, some beaming with joy, some radiating killing intent, some with utterly indifferent faces, some with closed eyes in serene meditation, peaceful and calm, others rolling their eyes around, curious about everything, and still others puffing out their cheeks, looking utterly bored…

’s divine sense swept over these phantoms, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts, like flashes of lightning and peals of thunder.

After deep contemplation for a long while, and his clone discarded these groups of phantoms and once again employed Wisdom Path methods to begin calculation.

This calculation lasted a full three hours.

Upon its successful completion, obtained a drastically more complex Mortal-level Myriad Self killer move, its scale now a hundred times larger than the original.

He activated this killer move.

Because this killer move involved far too many Gu worms and its arrangement was excessively intricate, even though was an Eighth Transformation Gu Immortal, it still took him quite some time to activate it.

The Myriad Self phantoms produced this time were far fewer in number than any previous group, yet they seemed to possess a spark of sentience.

Some of these Myriad Self phantoms were running, some jumping, some sitting cross-legged on the ground in contemplation, some playing and roughhousing with each other, and more still, brimming with hatred and rage, launched attacks against the surrounding Myriad Self phantoms, plunging the entire group into chaos.

The scale of the internal strife among the Myriad Self phantoms grew rapidly. Soon, this entire group was locked in a brutal, chaotic battle. Although some tried to avoid involvement, they were swept along by the tide of events.

These Myriad Self phantoms were not all equal in strength; some were strong, some weak.

A keen light flickered in ’s eyes as he discovered that in this melee, victorious phantoms grew stronger with each fight, while the defeated phantoms grew weaker, some even being annihilated entirely.

The number of Myriad Self phantoms dwindled rapidly, soon leaving only single-digit phantoms locked in a fierce struggle.

Finally, only a single phantom remained standing on the battlefield. All other Myriad Self phantoms had been destroyed.

This phantom was dozens of times stronger than before, yet still remained confined to the mortal realm.

Its appearance still closely resembled ’s, but its face was contorted with hatred and fury. It roared toward ’s nearby Time Path clone, radiating intense killing intent and malice, yet did not dare to attack. Instead, it lunged toward the earlier, static groups of Myriad Self phantom armies.

These Myriad Self phantoms stood perfectly still. Without ’s command, they did not move a muscle, allowing the hateful, enraged phantom to slaughter them at will.

After the hate-filled phantom slaughtered for a while, its aura grew increasingly powerful, finally breaking through the confines of mortality and ascending to the level of a Sixth Transformation Gu Immortal!

Seeing this, both ’s true body and his clone revealed looks of delight.

’s clone gave a slight wave of his hand. The remaining Myriad Self army instantly surged like a tide, surrounding the hate-filled phantom and launching a desperate, final assault.

The hate phantom possessed outstanding strength. Though surrounded by ten thousand enemies, it fought with ever-increasing ferocity.

With every phantom it defeated or tore apart, its power grew by a fraction.

It seemed to know nothing of exhaustion, as if it were a war machine capable of continuous growth, roaring constantly, its furious shouts unceasing, standing tall and undefeated on the battlefield.

Finally, when it broke through from the Sixth Transformation Gu Immortal level to the Seventh Transformation, ’s true body finally intervened, activating a killer move to personally strike down and eliminate this Force Path phantom.

The Force Path phantoms generated by the last activation of ’s Myriad Self killer move each possessed their own thoughts and temperament, becoming so independent that even his true body could not control or command them.

Yet, remarkably, these final Myriad Self phantoms possessed an utterly terrifying growth potential!

The phantom brimming with hatred and fury had initially only possessed Fourth Transformation strength. In the end, it had unexpectedly risen to the level of a Seventh Transformation Gu Immortal!

Of course, this was in terms of aura and cultivation level.

Its actual combat power was not that formidable; in fact, it was even weaker than an ordinary Ancient Desolate Beast.

This was because its body was merely a phantom, lacking the solid and robust constitution of an Ancient Desolate Beast. Its intelligence was also limited, unable to support it in using Gu worms to fight; it could only rely on instinct.
