The Shadow of Immortality

Chapter 95: Solving the Weakness in Defense


Clark was furious. If only he could enter the formation to crush them easily.

But the formation was extremely tough.

And he hadn't received any kind of reinforcement from Mi Bai yet.

He was genuinely tense, feeling the magnitude of the risk.

But he had a trump card, though activating it would take time.

Either success or failure.

He was punching and striking fiercely with his Heavenly Fists.

It was truly madness to cling to such a giant tower.

Which, in truth, was suffering on the offensive front against Clark.

But Tai Long had emerged from his stronghold.

Zan Liu became the controller.

Multiple auras flashed around Tai Long.

The scene was majestic.

Clark sensed the danger and used "Limitless Selves."

Several copies of him appeared, even dispersing the Heavenly Fists.

He was ready to use "Sword Dash" to evade the attack.

Bam!

A massive luminous object fell, like a colossal weight.

An imitation of the Judgment Path!!!

Clark received a powerful blow, one that was intensely painful.

Clark's vision clarity was poor. He suffered from not being able to defend with offensive strength, but what about defense?

He couldn't protect himself. It was a truly pitiful situation.

He laughed like a madman. Roars of his laughter echoed everywhere:

• "I've never been in such a wretched situation! Hahahahahaha! Is this what they call teetering on the brink of death?"

• "But it's thrilling! This is the feeling! Climbing the heavens is hard, harder than making a girl fall in love with you! Harder than becoming a king! Harder than becoming an Immortal!!!"

Clark raised his hand. It was glowing with blue light.

He looked upward:

• "I will ascend with a single step! I'm not afraid, I truly..."

• "But Tai Long, are you afraid?"

• "My answer: I am not afraid. In truth, as a great person with great experience, and as an ancient elder, let me tell you something: I do not fear risk!"

• "Let me see, are you afraid to enter a battle of attrition with me?!"

Stab!!!

Arghhhhh!

Both spat blood simultaneously.

Clark linked his soul to a luminous blade extending from a distance toward Tai Long.

He was shocked, shouting loudly:

• "You're insane! You want to drag me to death with you?!"

Clark laughed like a madman, saying:

• "This is what's funny about you righteous path people! Are you afraid of death?!"

• "A struggle over interests doesn't end until one of them dies. Don't think I'm a man with a kind heart!"

• "In truth, that's not my reality or truth."

• "I believe that in battle, one of us will die!"

• "Now then... let's begin!"

Clark charged.

The Sword Dash was terrifyingly fast.

Clark had linked his soul with Tai Long.

What hurt Clark hurt him, and what hurt Tai Long hurt him as well.

It was a gamble from Clark. In truth, his soul would endure more than Tai Long's.

In truth, in Clark's mind:

• "As a great demonic leader, am I afraid to gamble and wager my life?"

•"No! I'm not afraid! I attack with all my might, unconcerned with what happens to me."

Tai Long tried to escape from Clark as much as possible. He was in terrible shock.

He never expected to fall into the clutches of a madman like Clark.

Clark raised his hand, laughing:

• "Let me enlighten you with the special move 'Hei Shenqing'."

A black aura covered Clark's outstretched hands.

His stance resembled a spear in the sky.

The aura condensed and grew darker.

Soon, Clark's outstretched hand descended.

Tai Long tried to counter, but Clark's speed surpassed him.

Swish!

A scream!!!!

Tai Long's body was cut in half and he died a wretched death.

Zan Liu was terrified inside the Heavenly Tower.

But he quickly regained his composure. He realized his fear was just... just folly.

And that the one truly in a wretched situation was... Clark!

A massive beam of light shot toward Clark.

He laughed, saying:

• "How funny that I'll die now because of my attempt to protect what?!"

A massive icy cliff appeared around Clark.

He was shocked:

• "What?! Mi Bai!!!"

The aura was terrifying.

Mi Bai... she had awakened the Will and obtained all the Extreme Moves and comprehensive control.

The Heavenly Tower was in a pitiful state, receiving attacks from the Heavenly Island's defenses.

It was an Immortal formation, yet it was being slapped around in a humiliating manner.

Mi Bai was tense and felt intense guilt toward Clark, which made her vent her anger on Zan Liu's formation.

He was receiving severe injuries inside the formation.

Soon, Clark shouted at Mi Bai:

• "Don't let him escape! Whatever the cost, we must kill him! Otherwise, he'll inform his clan and kill us all! Even the Tai Clan will come and won't stay silent!"

Mi Bai focused and sealed all entrances and exits.

Zan Liu had no way out left.

Unless he could cut through the Heavenly Island's space or manifest extraordinary methods allowing entry and exit.

But... he wouldn't be able to find something like that.

In reality, what terrified him most was the cold killing intent Mi Bai exuded. It made him understand there was no escape, that he had been foolishly sentenced to death.

What would save him now?

Leaving the formation was also worse. In truth, leaving the formation would make it easier for them to kill him.

But amidst those projectiles pouring down abundantly, and the icy attacks surging like a tsunami...

There was an important, even fundamental, supplementary Immortal Extreme Move... that had been destroyed!

A bright light flashed and blood also scattered.

Due to the formation's destruction, Zan Liu died from the backlash that killed him.

Mi Bai didn't turn to see Zan Liu's corpse, but turned to Clark instead.

The left half of his face was burned, and his condition was at best described as wretched, or severely miserable.

His stance was brave: he killed three Immortals and faced a complete formation! Who could do something so terrifying without the slightest fear?

None other than Clark!!!

He fell to the ground. He struggled to sit up.

Soon, he felt a soft hand touch his back.

It was Mi Bai:

• "You can rest, don't worry."

Clark didn't lie to himself. He truly felt relief and reassurance.

He released the fairies from the false Immortal Unconsciousness.

They were crying from fear, even crying for Clark. They felt as if he was their eldest brother.

They were happy about their survival and Clark's survival.

While the other didn't care about them, instead saying:

• "Can you heal me? At the very least, I want to stand."

Mi Bai nodded in agreement and healed Clark.

It was unfortunate, in truth, that Zan Liu died. Clark wanted to seize his Extreme Moves, but he managed to capture his soul thanks to the Extreme Move "Derivation" to heal his own soul.

But the greatest loot was found in this Heavenly Tower that was crumbling and seemed incomplete, as if it had lost a full component.

Clark didn't know what supplementary Extreme Move this tower was missing, but clearly it was important.

Mi Bai stepped beside Clark, and with a wave of her hand, she completely dismantled the formation.

Clark looked at her happily. He truly didn't know how to dismantle it or even control it.

But that tower contained three Immortal Extreme Moves alongside mortal ones:

1. Immortal Extreme Move, Sixth Rank - Light Path: "Autumn Light".

2. Immortal Extreme Move - from the Judgment Path: "Mountain's Steadfastness".

Clark was happy! Finally, he possessed a defensive Extreme Move. He had been suffering in that aspect.

He continued examining the rest:

1. Immortal Extreme Move from the Heaven Path: "Heaven's Surge".

That Extreme Move was what allowed flight.

And the last was also from the Light Path, a supplementary move to increase light attack power:

1. "Summer Light".

Spring Light and Summer Light caused immense damage, and with some supplementary Extreme Moves, the damage power increased tremendously.

But what truly worried Clark was a fundamental problem that needed solving: he had lost a lot of Immortal essence, and his battle power had diminished terrifyingly!!!

It was disgusting for Clark.

He had to find a solution to that problem.

Clark felt something pinching him from the side of his intact face.

It was Mi Bai... she couldn't resist and started crying. The guilt was deep in her heart.

Clark was severely injured because of her. She felt she was cowardly and had left Clark alone to face three Immortal cultivators alongside a complete Immortal formation by himself. The guilt was killing for her and unforgivable.

Clark looked at the sky and said:

• "Burned like ashes..."

•"A lone warrior, formed from ashes..."

•"A flame that forever burns from its own ashes..."

•"I soar in the sky like a phoenix, reborn from its ashes..."

Clark's talent allowed him to recite poetry whenever he wished.

But Mi Bai felt Clark's greatness despite the circumstances, despite his disfigured face, yet he didn't cry, didn't grieve, didn't blame her or demand anything from her.

Mi Bai had a courageous and loving personality.

Therefore, with an icy blade, she wounded her own face to match Clark's face.

It wasn't the same wound, but it was visible like a cut on her face.

Clark was shocked! He never expected her to do something like this!!!
