Chapter 398 Dark Leaf: I was brave! I charged! I fell!
Ye Nanxiao turned his head to look at the pale red energy surrounding him, took a deep breath, and accelerated the process of energy sublimation into his body.
The energy given by the great fox was swallowed up by Dark Leaf with the force of an engulfing river.
The jade bones within his body shone like the light of the bright moon, drawing upon the energy of his bloodline to forge an "indestructible golden body."
"Ping!"
Another sound of shackles breaking rang out.
Xue Di's expression changed slightly. The frost that had gathered on her right hand lingered for a long time. She was unable to attack Ye Nanxiao's body, but continuing like this would only allow the "personality" occupying Ye Nanxiao's body to grow stronger.
Bajiao held an eight-sided spike in each hand, awaiting Xue Di's command.
Gu Yuena, on the other hand, watched with great interest the "personality" that was currently occupying Ye Nanxiao's body.
"What, if you don't make a move now, your hopes may never come back!" An Ye's face was full of arrogance. He had been hiding for too long, enduring Ye Nanxiao's various positive emotions every day, and had long since reached his breaking point.
Now that I've broken free from my constraints, I feel like a bird soaring in the sky or a fish leaping in the sea.
Unlike Xue Di, who was gritting her teeth and at a loss, Gu Yuena noticed that the patterns on the first four tails of Ye Nanxiao's nine tails were broken in the middle, which meant that the shackles had been broken.
When Dark Leaf appears, the pattern on the ninth tail is constantly changing.
With each deep breath of energy absorbed by Dark Leaf, the central part of the pattern on the ninth tail flickered intermittently, but the pattern never broke.
Gu Yuena guessed that the personality occupying Ye Nanxiao's body had not yet completely taken control of Ye Nanxiao's body. It was only because Ye Nanxiao's consciousness was asleep that this personality had the opportunity to slip out.
As long as the shackles on the ninth tail remain intact, this personality will not truly take over Ye Nanxiao's body.
After being arrogant for a while, An Ye realized that his body was in the process of absorbing bloodline power to evolve and could not move around. However, this did not mean that he would evolve quietly.
"Aren't you going to make a move? Are you afraid of hurting this body? The more afraid you are, the more excited I get. Before long, this body will be completely mine!"
"When the time comes, I'll make everyone connected to this body suffer!"
"Let them suffer excruciating pain!"
Even without Gu Yuena's reminder, Xue Di quickly noticed the shackle pattern on Ye Nanxiao's tail.
Xue Di, who was extremely familiar with Ye Nanxiao, glanced at the four tails in front of her, then at the ninth tail, before her gaze fell on the face of An Ye, who was constantly shouting in front of her.
The shackles hidden within Ye Nanxiao's body have been broken through from the first to the fourth level, which immediately reminded Xue Di of Ye Nanxiao's third soul skill, the clone soul skill.
A clone capable of independent thought is extremely rare.
Ye Nanxiao's current cultivation level allows him to create exactly four clones, which correspond to the four shackles mentioned earlier.
"This one in front of us is very likely a potential clone of Xiao'er!" Xue Di gestured for Bajiao to relax.
A silver thread connected to Xue Di, and Gu Yue Na's voice rang directly in Xue Di's mind.
"Judging from your reaction, you must know some truth?" Gu Yuena asked.
"Xiao'er has the ability to create clones, and each clone possesses a part of Xiao'er, capable of independent thought and action."
"And the part that was taken away included and amplified some of Xiao'er's original emotions."
Xue Di explained all the differences between Xiao Ye No. 1 and Xiao Ye No. 4 to Gu Yue Na in her mind.
The cheerful Little Leaf No. 1, the unusually quiet Little Leaf No. 2, the calm and cautious Little Leaf No. 3, and the melancholy and sad Little Leaf No. 4.
"To put it simply, there's Leziren, Miantanlian, Goudaoren, and the Zanghuapai," Xuedi summarized.
When Gu Yuena heard that Ye Nanxiao's clone could inherit and amplify a portion of his emotions and personality, her expression changed immediately.
"Amplifying one of the personality traits and emotions, how come this is so similar to that guy who can manipulate emotions?" Gu Yuena suddenly remembered a deity who possessed the ability to control emotions.
If it weren't for the fact that Ye Nanxiao possessed the Ice God's legacy, Gu Yuena would have almost thought that Ye Nanxiao was the chosen successor by that annoying guy.
"You mean, the one occupying Ye Nanxiao's body is one of his clones?" Gu Yuena asked, her hand gestures slightly changing their arc.
Since it's a problem with Ye Nanxiao's own soul skills and not a major issue like possession, then it's all a minor problem.
"I think there's an 80% chance we should wait and see." Xue Di wore an angry expression, but her heart remained unusually calm.
Judging from Ye Nanxiao's past cultivation progress, this breakthrough is most likely accompanied by the further development of his clone skill.
"Hmph? You're too scared to speak because of my domineering aura, aren't you?" An Ye still had a wicked smile on his lips. Seeing that Xue Di and Gu Yue Na didn't dare to make a move, he felt even more pleased.
This is the treatment he deserves!
All things should submit to him!
I submit to the Nine-Tailed Fox King!
Dark Leaf felt ashamed of Ye Nanxiao's actions, which involved possessing the bloodline of a king but not developing and utilizing it immediately, instead turning to study some strange and broken copper and iron!
Despite being a nine-tailed fox bloodline holder, he insists on researching the power of external things.
Whenever Ye Nanxiao researched soul tools, An Ye would choose to stimulate the power of the big fox, making Ye Nanxiao realize that this was the power he needed to cultivate.
However, every time An Ye made a move, Ye Nanxiao suppressed it, which made An Ye feel resentful but helpless.
Ye Nanxiao didn't even bother to glance at the illusions he created. If they hindered Ye Nanxiao's cultivation, they would also prevent him from becoming stronger.
Today is a moment that An Ye never dared to dream of. He is about to successfully lead this body that contains ancient and savage power!
The crimson aura formed from the rich blood and qi gradually shrank and was absorbed into Ye Nanxiao's body.
Feeling the surging power within his body, An Ye felt as if he could move mountains and fill seas with a wave of his hand, and grasp stars and pluck the moon.
The crystal-cast ground was shattered in large areas, and the crystal fragments were held in mid-air by a powerful air pressure, constantly trembling.
An earthquake is occurring in the underground cavern covered by Gu Yuena's power, and tiny cracks are constantly appearing in the silver light attached to the ground and walls.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena frowned and waved her hand to repair the cracked silver ground.
"It's no use!" Dark Leaf shouted excitedly.
"Pop!" The sound of jelly detaching from its packaging rang out.
The next moment, An Ye's perspective shifted, changing from looking directly at Xue Di to looking at Xue Di from the side.
"Huh? What's going on?" An Ye's wicked smile disappeared, replaced by a deep look of confusion.
Turning his head, he saw Ye Nanxiao, still surrounded by the aura of blood energy, and the pattern on the ninth tail.
An Ye, who was familiar with Ye Nanxiao's various skills, understood in an instant.
"A clone? No!!" Dark Leaf raised his hands in front of his eyes. The hands were indistinguishable from the real thing, but they had no elasticity whatsoever.
"Ice! Why ice?!"
An Ye's face was contorted with rage. How could the opportunity he had waited for for so long be nothing but a mirage!
"It will be mine! It will still be mine!" An Ye turned to look at Ye Nanxiao, his figure as fast as lightning, his hands reaching out.
Having been waiting for an opportunity, Xue Di immediately made her move. Countless ice spikes burst forth from the holes and flew down into the space around An Ye, forming an ice prison.
Knowing that the memories and insights of the clone would be fed back to the main body, Xue Di's initial intention was simply to control An Ye's space of movement.
Gu Yuena also noticed An Ye, who had been ejected from Ye Nanxiao's body. With a wave of her left hand, countless silver lights transformed into chains that flew out.
Faced with the double attack, An Ye snorted coldly, and a dense blood-red light appeared on the surface of his body as he unleashed a punch with his claws.
The powerful force unleashed a cylindrical shockwave that shattered the Snow Empress's frost and deflected Gu Yuena's chains.
The nine tails, like iron whips, swept away the eight horns that were lying in ambush.
The octagon flew backward, and the eight-sided spike in his hand was cracked and shattered in a single exchange.
"This clone! It inherits the power of body refinement!" Xue Di's hands turned jade white, and her figure floated out. The terrifying coldness in her palms made An Ye's movements pause.
"Even if you are a snow woman, I won't hold back!" Dark Leaf was not afraid at all. His right hand was wrapped in blood-red energy. He slashed out with his claw, and the incomparably powerful force made the underground cave shake.
"Be careful!" Gu Yuena warned, her hands creating streaks of silver light as she tried to pull Xue Di back.
The swirling snowflakes were suppressed by the crimson energy and shattered.
"Such powerful strength!" Xue Di was shocked. She realized that she had been at a disadvantage in this exchange.
Just as the claws and palms were about to collide, a slender hand blocked the two attacks.
An Ye was slammed deep into the wall by the terrifying force that bounced back, while Xue Di was completely unharmed, her jade hand being held by its owner.
Xue Di's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she quickly grasped the warm hand in her other hand.
"Xiao'er!"
Ye Nanxiao's long hair flew wildly. He opened his eyes, glanced at Xue Di, then closed them again, his body continuing to float in the air.
Sensing that Xue Di was in danger, Ye Nanxiao's body moved almost instinctively.
"No!" An Ye struggled to pry himself out of the wall and lunged at Ye Nanxiao again.
That was clearly his power!
Why is it that he, possessing the same talent, became a clone?
With his eyes closed, Ye Nanxiao's body moved on its own, opening his palms towards the approaching Dark Leaf.
Dark Leaf, who was pouncing in the air, suddenly stopped in mid-air, turning into a marionette.
Streams of energy flew out from An Ye's body, swimming back into Ye Nanxiao's body like fish.
"It's over." Xue Di wrapped her arms around Ye Nanxiao, letting him lean comfortably against her.
Gu Yuena waved her hand, and streaks of silver light rose up, turning into halos that enveloped An Ye's hands and feet, firmly fixing him to the wall.
An Ye looked at the halos on his hands and feet, and his lips trembled slightly.
Things happened so fast that An Ye was somewhat at a loss.
He was brave, he charged forward, he fell.
Ye Nanxiao withdrew the power within his body.
As the main body, Ye Nanxiao can control all the power within the clone. Originally, the clone was a part of his power that acted independently. With just a thought, he could take back the power that had been separated.
