Xiang Yu indeed did not intend to clone himself multiple times. In fact, Hao Jiu closely monitored the entire process of the second generation of sages operating the clones, as it would be disastrous if the enemy obtained them.
Of course, after witnessing several clones advance to the Earth Realm, Xiang Yu did have the idea of cloning a large army, but then he thought that these clones were so powerful precisely because they contained Xiang Yu's own divided soul.
If it were just a body, but someone else's soul were swapped in, it probably wouldn't have this miraculous effect.
The core area of the Cangquan base was not greatly damaged in the attack, so Xiang Yu decided to go into seclusion there in a separate room with twenty Yuan Energy Training Machines.
The second generation of sages personally wrote a program for breaking through to the divine realm, fighting from the underworld to the immortal realm, and then to the war of gods. In short, the more exaggerated the better. It doesn't matter if you are defeated in a dream, you can just start over.
Li Canghai settled down at the Cangquan base and built a new headquarters. One of Xiang Yu's clones was stationed there, and its peak Earth Realm strength was enough to handle all kinds of emergencies.
After Xiang Yu entered the dream, Yu Ji returned to the Spirit Realm with another clone and began her secluded cultivation to break through to the Mahayana Realm.
Hao Jiu knew that there were several places in the Spirit Realm that contained things beneficial to those who could advance to the Mahayana stage or become immortals, and that these places also involved the stability of the Spirit Realm. Since Xiang Yu had the time, he should take the opportunity to thoroughly explore the Spirit Realm.
As for Yu Ji's safety, there's no need to worry. The human race is now the largest race on the Fengyuan Continent, and basically no one dares to provoke them. Mo Jianli's combat power has skyrocketed since he got the Shadow System, and the other Mahayana cultivators are not to be underestimated either, especially the current Spirit King. Once the true form of the Dazzling Crystal Tower is revealed, even a True Spirit might not be able to withstand it.
Xiang Yu's first stop was the territory of the Ephemeral Clan. Although the clan had been wiped out, there was actually a secret realm there with excellent Styx Divine Milk. As it turned out, the remnants of the Ephemeral Clan were hiding there.
When he saw Xiang Yu arrive, he almost cried. How could he not even give him a way out?
Meanwhile, the other three clones of Xiang Yu began to advance into higher-level planes, where random teleportation allowed them to travel through time and space to higher-level planes without missions.
One of them was randomly assigned to a strange dimension. According to the classification, it should be a modern dimension, but there were dilapidated and abandoned cities everywhere. When Xiang Yu first arrived, he thought there was no one there. Only after releasing his domineering aura did he realize that the people in this dimension were very small, only the size of ants.
Tragically, not long after, Xiang Yu also inexplicably shrank, and only his body shrank while his clothes remained enormous, to the point that Xiang Yu was completely covered by his own clothes and pants. Fortunately, his shoes provided some support.
Not long after, Xiang Yu was attacked by a swarm of insects. They were extremely ferocious and fast, but they looked like cockroaches, perhaps the cockroaches of this world.
So in this dimension, only humans have shrunk; other insects, animals, and plants haven't!
Xiang Yu was unsure whether he could return to his normal size after leaving this plane. He now had only two options: either find a way to restore himself in this plane, or return to the Soul Technology plane and clone a new body.
But now that Xiang Yu has arrived, this plane of existence definitely needs to be explored.
To be fair, if humans suddenly shrunk to the size of ants, it would be like losing everything instantly; they would be unable to use any equipment or tools.
They also face threats from insects and animals, and can only survive like ants, so it's no wonder the city is abandoned.
The second Xiang Yu clone arrived in a plane full of spiritual energy, which seemed to be another cultivation plane. However, the people he encountered were all mortals. To make matters worse, the whole world seemed to be a huge mine, full of mining slaves.
Before long, Xiang Yu was besieged by a group of over a hundred soldiers who were singing as they attacked, wielding a special weapon that looked like a cane.
However, they underestimated Xiang Yu's strength and were quickly subdued.
Upon inquiry, it was discovered that the place Xiang Yu had teleported to was a mine in this advanced plane, which produced a very special kind of magic stone. Runes could be carved on it, and magical attacks could be released by chanting.
However, this magic stone has a unique characteristic: as long as you get close to it, the immortal power or spiritual power within you will gradually dissipate and return to nature.
Contact with a small amount of magic stones is fine, but the problem is that the entire world is a mine, and the quantity is too large, so the effect is extremely terrifying.
So some of these miners were once cultivators, but here they have become mortals again. They live long lives by breathing in high concentrations of spiritual energy. They exchange the ore they mine for various necessities, but they can barely make ends meet. The lives of slave miners are naturally not very good.
These oversight and enforcement teams were actually slaves themselves. The real slave owners would never come to this terrible world; at most, they would send puppets.
Although Xiang Yu's clone possessed the domineering strength of the Earth Realm, it lacked a different dimension, making it difficult to break through certain special barriers. Hao Jiu did buy a universal item, but unfortunately, it couldn't be used in this mining world; this magic stone was quite sinister.
Fortunately, Xiang Yu cultivated domineering aura, which is unaffected by this magic stone; otherwise, he would have had to run away immediately, as it was truly terrifying.
After discussing it, Xiang Yu and Hao Jiu decided that they should seize the magic stone mine. If it fell into the enemy's hands, their cultivation faction would be greatly suppressed.
If this magic stone mine were to be refined into a magical artifact, it would give you a huge advantage in battles against immortals. They might not even dare to fight you, or they would really lose a level if they didn't run away!
The third clone of Xiang Yu was randomly assigned to a plane without humans. As soon as it was teleported there, it was swallowed by a dinosaur, and then Xiang Yu roasted and ate it.
Of course, a higher plane cannot consist of only one planet. This planet is inhabited by ancient creatures, and other planets should have intelligent life. However, finding an intelligent planet in the vast universe seems to be quite difficult.
Xiang Yu decided to explore the planet first, hoping it might hold some clues. If all else failed, he would try another dimension.
Just as Xiang Yu was searching for any traces of humans nearby, a point of light flew over from the sky, slowly growing larger and looking like a seashell, or perhaps a UFO.
Chapter 550 Danger
Buzzing...
The shell-shaped spaceship slowed down and began scanning the area with a fan-shaped light screen.
"My God! What is that?! There are actually intelligent monkeys that know how to wear clothes!" A strangely shaped intelligent life form with a large head, thick neck, spherical body, compound eyes, and four legs pointed at Xiang Yu in the picture and shouted excitedly.
"Dugu Lu, don't make a fuss, that's a human, a sentient being too. My specimen collection is finally going to have a top-quality one!" Nagu Lu grinned, revealing its mouth full of sharp teeth. "Hey, the Hey Lu, capture target!"
Bang!
A large net gleaming with dark light descended upon Xiang Yu, and then...
With a hiss, it split in two and landed beside Xiang Yu.
"Huh? Did we buy a defective fishing net?" Duguru asked in confusion, since the human was clearly standing there without moving.
"Idiot, that was cut open with magic! He's a human mage who knows magic! Hey Gulu, kill him!" As Gulu spoke, the shell ship suddenly shot out a thick purple beam of light.
Boom!
A large hole was blasted open in the ground, but Xiang Yu had already disappeared.
"Did you take them down? Gulu." Dugulu was a little scared. Human mages were truly terrifying; they were all monsters!
"Probably, not even a trace left. It's just a pity for such a fine specimen. If only our Hegulu was a warship. Oh well, let's keep looking for a pet for you." Nagulu looked regretful.
"I want two!" Dugu Lu was relieved.
Knock knock knock.
"Open the door and let me in, you Gulu alien. Otherwise, you die," Xiang Yu said in Gulu language.
"Hey Gulu, escape from here!" Gulu's expression changed drastically, because no matter how much power the spaceship increased, it was useless; it was trapped!
"Ah! I'm going to die!" Dugu was so frightened that she lost her balance and rolled on the ground.
"Shut up!" Nagulu snapped, then suddenly remembered something. "Respected Master, please don't misunderstand. I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about him. I'll open the door right away."
Sizzle...
The hatch opened, and Xiang Yu slipped inside. He almost couldn't help but laugh when he saw the two fat men, one big and one small. They looked so bizarre.
"Do you know where humanity's planet is? Send me there."
"Uh, I know, but my little boat is too slow. It will take a long time to get there. Why don't I take the mage to our planet first? There are big ships there, and we can get there quickly, saving a lot of time." Nagulu said cautiously. Could this person be lost?
“Okay.” Xiang Yu said, conjuring up a chair and sitting down.
"Okay, okay, I'll fly back right away." Nagulu breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed this mage was quite easy to talk to.
"But I haven't caught a satisfactory pet yet," Duguru said weakly.
"Shut up!" Nagulu cursed under his breath. He was already struggling to save his own life, let alone want a pet?
"Hey Gulu, fly back to Gulu Star Spaceport." As soon as Gulu finished speaking, the seashell spaceship flew out of Dinosaur Planet with a whoosh.
This unassuming spaceship reached an incredibly high speed after accelerating, almost at the speed of light, and this was only a small civilian spaceship.
Hao Jiu clicked his tongue in amazement. It seemed that the technology of this Gulu Star civilization was very advanced. Traveling abroad was nothing. They even traveled to places light-years away to catch pets.
Soon after, several asteroids appeared in the universe, forming a triangle. A light curtain gradually lit up the area, and the spaceship passed directly through the light curtain to reach a strange yet prosperous starry sky.
One after another, larger and more beautiful spaceships than the Hegulu were slowly moving forward, and then entering various light screens. This was the space port of Gulu Star.
Soon, the Heygulu docked at the entrance of a transparent passageway, and after docking was completed, the hatch opened.
"Uh, esteemed mage, this large ship is the spaceship bound for the human planet. It's just past the passage. I'll leave you here. I wish you a pleasant journey ahead," Naguru asked timidly.
Xiang Yu stood up. "What do you think? They've already set a trap over there, haven't they?"
"What?!" Nagulu's face turned green with fright. "What ambush? I didn't know that!"
"Aaaaaah, I've been exposed! I'm going to die!" Dugulu screamed in a series of ghostly cries.
"You'll find out soon enough." Xiang Yu strode into the transparent passage, followed by two gurgles.
These creatures were practically neckless, so they were difficult to pinch from any angle. Xiang Yu simply used his domineering energy to create two transparent cylindrical containers to house them, making them look just like specimens.
The end of the passage looked ordinary, but in reality, no less than a hundred people were lying in ambush, but only three of them were powerful Gulu aliens.
They all wore fully enclosed battle armor incorporating high technology. Unlike the elemental combat suits of the Soul Technology plane, the battle armor of this Gulu Star was all metal and very thick, with only the face being transparent.
The soldiers' armor was all the same style, but the three strongmen were different. One had thick legs, one had well-developed arms, and the other had a large head, but overall they were all short, thick and fat.
"Come out, let me see just how powerful you really are." Xiang Yu stepped into the giant spaceship's main hall.
Suddenly, circles of armored Gulu appeared in the previously empty hall, and a chubby Gulu Star General appeared behind Xiang Yu. He was one of the three powerful warriors who had just used a short-range teleportation technique to appear behind Xiang Yu.
With a swift movement, the massive arm raised, and the golden cannon muzzle was aimed at Xiang Yu. "Fire!"
Boom boom boom!
After a barrage of fire, both Gulu and Dugulu were terrified and opened fire without hesitation. Perhaps this would earn them a hero's title? They had lured the enemy into an ambush?
"Goodbye, Boo-Goo-Lu..."
A moment later, the light dimmed, and the entire spaceship was destroyed, blown to pieces. The Gulu warriors all gathered around, dumbfounded.
Not only was the human mage unharmed, but the two captured goblins were also completely unscathed!
"I'm not dead? Haha, I'm not dead!" Dugulu patted his chubby face.
"So what level of human mage did we bring back? Or, a god of magic?" Nagulu blinked, suddenly feeling a chill run down his spine.
"A powerful enemy is attacking!" exclaimed the third powerful figure, Gulu.
"This is impossible!" The second Gulu powerhouse looked at the cannon barrel on his arm, which was still a little red.
"Second brother, come back quickly! Combine!" At the command of the number one Gulu powerhouse, the three Gulu powerhouses instantly connected like a human pyramid. The one at the bottom had thick legs, the one with well-developed arms was in the middle, and the one with a big head was on top. Overall, they looked a little more handsome.
The other soldiers also started piling on top of each other, eventually forming a giant goo, but its appearance was quite different, looking more like a stick figure.
"Wow, is this the legendary mecha technology?" Hao Jiu saw that there was some excitement going on and quickly brought his main consciousness over.
"Mecha technology? Interesting. The attack that just ambushed me from behind was roughly equivalent to a full-force strike from a Mahayana stage cultivator. I originally thought they were only at that level, but I didn't expect they could even combine. I hope they'll be even stronger after combining, especially in defense." Xiang Yu's lips curled slightly. "Blade Storm, activate!"
Clang clang clang...
Boom boom boom...
The newly assembled giant stick figure exploded into pieces after only a few blows, while the small giant formed by the three powerful individuals remained unharmed, clearly demonstrating the difference in the materials used in their armor.
