Lord Shadow

Chapter 1749: Clones and Avatars

The space inside the palace is manipulated by some kind of force just like a storage bag that could even store a house inside it.

It is the manipulation of space.

As he walks around the fortress, he could see towering spires and crystalline wall, all of them reaching the sky.

The design is other otherworldly, combining sharp, geometric lines with a natural, almost organic flow, as if it grew from the roots of the trees from the ground

Sunlight refracts through the crystal structures, casting dazzling patterns of light and colour across the surrounding.

Azief then took a breath.

Then he began running.

And when he runs, he runs like lightning and in just a couple of second he had travels through all of the area.

There is many cave-like rooms and there is many doors and many tunnels network that all reach even downward toward the sea below.

The crystal extend below. It pierced through the ground of the island, and priced it down toward the bottom of the sea, creating another palace below the island, on the bottom of the ocean.

And the bottom of the ocean in this new world is even deeper than the Mariana trench.

By a hundred-fold. Nothing should survive and withstand the pressure

But the crystal is able to

And it created such a palace below.

That is why it took Azief a few second.

In the past, he could travel the entire world in just a few second. And the largeness of this fortress expend even more time than he needs to travel the world.

But that is not the only thing that shocks him.

The things that shocks him is that the crystal imitate the formation he created and apply it to itself, allowing the formation to extend far into the ocean and reached the bottom of the ocean.

At the same time, the entire concealing formation that he had created had also been strengthened.

Azief could not calculate how much of the formation was stringent, as he could only feel it instinctively.

The fact is that the formation was strengthened. ”What a peculiar thing” he thought to himself.

Azief is now in the center of the Crystal Palace.

And there is a crystal altar that is connected to a crystal pillar that holds up an entire hall.

And on this altar, floating only a few inches above the altar, is the blue crystal. It seems to be shining with different colors for every second that passes

Azief did not hesitate to walk toward the altar and then he grabs the blue crystal and suddenly information streams into his mind.

Just a second later, he release back the crystal and he narrows his eyes

And for a moment he just stand there looking at the blue crystal and shakes his head. And then he sighed. ”Then I have to change my plans. This would really take time” It is clear that something had happened when he touches that crystal. ”Create a clone for me”

The moment Azief touch the crystal, he already got all the information about the crystal palace and what he could do with the blue crystal and what he could do with the palace.

The moment he gives his order, the sound of cracking could be heard as a crystal suddenly broke off and falls onto the ground.

As it falls to the ground, the crystal suddenly morphed into Azief.

From this morphed body, a powerful aura exuded out, creating a burst of wind that ruffles Azief cape

However, the eyes of this clone is disorganized. Like there is nothing in his mind. Azief come close to the clone and touches it. ”It is quite powerful. Even though it has the cultivation of Essence Creation leveler, but its concepts and laws are empty. But the physique alone could suppress all creation on Earth” Azief then close his eyes and leave a bit of his energy into the clone

The clone suddenly have light in its eyes. ”Go” Azief said and the clone nodded.

Kicking the ground, the clone immediately goes out of the island and disappears in a matter of second.

Azief only shakes his head ”This clone is good in some things and bad at others”

The clone from the crystal palace could only do some preprogram action.

And Azief of course did not want people to confuse him and the clone so one of the first task for his clone is to return to Pandemonium and explain to Sasha about the clone.

As for the location of this place, he did not want Sasha to found out about it yet.

He actually does wanted to let Sasha knows about his seclusion place.

Because that would let his safety level rises.

But that is before he knows the protective measure of this crystal palace. As long as someone who did not possess the cultivation of Sovereign level did not come knocking, this crystal palace is the safest place on Earth

Even if the world exploded today, this palace would still exist in the form of a travelling palace in the darkness of space.

Because of that he decided to hide his whereabouts.

Anyway, with the clone with Essence Creation realm, it would be good enough for his clone to deter the world from making any big chaos.

As long as he did not make a move, no one would know he is a clone.

Not to mention, the only people that could know that he is the clone are only three people.

The other people did not even reach the level of power where they could detect whether he is a clone or not

And those three people even if they knew he was a clone with preprogrammed action, they would not expose it and probably even help him to hide any flaws.

So, Azief could change some of his plans. He decide to let his clone to governs the world on his behalf.

As long as he is there, the world would feel secure.

That is the kind of existence that Azief has become

Of course, with the fact that the clone is preprogrammed clone, it needs a handler.

Azief then put Sasha in the handler position.

He told his clone to listen to Sasha orders

But.... he still have to make some countermeasures.

After all, this clone has an Essence Creation realm energy.

That alone could create a lot of chaos. So, he crafted a few countermeasures. That is why he told his clone to inform Sasha

Then Sasha will have to explain the matter to Katarina so that Katarina would not go to his clone.

After all, this clone of his is more like a robot than a real clone.

It did not have a thought of its own. it moves according to Azief preprogrammed order.

When Azief put the energy into the clone body, what he channels is not energy.

The energy is already there.

It is in the blue crystal. The blue crystal could theoretically produce a level Sovereign clone.

Then why Azief did not use this blue crystal to produce such a being.

Because like anything else, it runs on energy.

The blue crystal has some leftover energy. That energy has been eroded by all kinds of things.

From its passage of time to the mystical means employs on it, there is a variety of ways because the blue crystal lost its energy.

The blue crystal created a clone with an Essence Creation realm because this is the limit of this world.

And one is its limit.

The energy of the entire crystal palace has already decreased by fifty percent just by creating a clone of himself.

The other fifty percent is used to maintain the operation of the crystal palace.

What he channels into the clone is his orders and some of his memories.

Not all, but the relevant ones.

As for other countermeasures, the clone is also asked to tell this matter to Sina.

And told her clones that Sian order trumps Sasha orders.

Sasha sometimes would not hesitate to use some dark method to reach her objective.

And if Azief gave him a knife that is as sharp as his clone, one shudder what would she do if she thinks she is doing it for him?

Maybe, she would send his clone to do some things she could not

Azief sending the clone is not to expand his power, or to create more conflict.

All the clone has to do is to sit on that throne of his and make the world be cautious.

As long as that achieved it is good enough so that he could focus on improving his strength.

He always felt like time is running out for him and as each day passes by, the more he felt like this.

He could take it easy in the Untainted Land because the time inside and outside of the Unstained Land is different

But now, he is back, he could feel the time is ticking. This feeling of anxiousness has been with his heart since he left the Untainted Land

And he knows form where this feeling come from. It is simply because of that future. ”It is quite different from my avatar” Azief could not help but mutter. >>
