Chapter 105: Second body
Chapter 105: Second body
"Master, what are you doing? You look like you're in so much pain!" The Evil Infant floated in the air, her gaze fixed on Yun Wuji, who was sitting cross-legged, his face twitching with agony. Her expression grew worried as she circled him, concern lacing her voice. "Perhaps you should stop, whatever you're doing seems dangerous."
"..." Yun Wuji didn't respond, not because he chose silence, but because he didn't have the strength or mental energy to speak. Sweat poured relentlessly from his body, soaking his clothes, while his muscles visibly twitched and writhed beneath his skin, resembling restless earthworms.
Pain!
Intense, excruciating pain!
It was an unbearable torment that tore through his soul and body, a relentless pain as though his very soul and flesh were being ripped apart!
Yun Wuji was no stranger to pain. Many of his cultivation techniques were self-created, and in the process of creating them, he had endured an unimaginable amount of pain. As a result, his pain tolerance was extraordinarily high.
Even if he were skinned or burned alive, he wouldn't so much as flinch.
But right now, he was enduring the most excruciating pain he had ever felt in his life, agony so intense that no words could ever capture its depth!
In the space dozens of centimeters in front of him, a shadowy figure wavered, its form shifting and swaying as though it were made from smoke.
The Evil Infant floated nearby, nervously biting her nails as she watched Yun Wuji. Her worried gaze lingered on him, her thoughts spinning with anxiety, not just because something terrible might happen to him, but because it could mean no more delicious food for her!
She turned her gaze from Yun Wuji to the shadowy figure, her eyes narrowing. Yun Wuji's body continued to tremble, his face contorting with pain. As she observed, the figure before her seemed to change. What was once smoke-like began to solidify, slowly transforming into a transparent, illusory form, its shape becoming more distinct with each passing moment.
Its figure seemed oddly familiar, as though she had seen it before, but its face was too blurry for her to discern who it was. She tilted her head to the side, thoughtfully placing her thumb and two fingers on her chin as she studied the figure. For a long while, she observed it intently, noticing how the form gradually shifted and condensed, becoming more solid with each passing moment.
"I got it!" the Evil Infant suddenly exclaimed, her eyes widening with excitement. "This figure... it looks like Master! It's Master!"
"Strange... what is Master doing?" She became confused after recognizing the figure's identity. "Is Master creating a clone?"
Time passed slowly for Yun Wuji as he endured the unbearable pain. As he suffered, the figure in front of him continued to condense, gradually shifting from a blurry, transparent shape to a more distinct form, eventually becoming increasingly solid.
Finally, the figure became an identical human body that looked exactly like him!
"Haah!" Yun Wuji suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze landing on the identical body before him. Letting out a sigh, he allowed his tense nerves to relax. However, exhaustion quickly overwhelmed him. Darkness crept into his vision, and his body swayed before collapsing to the side, unconscious.
"Master!" The surprised cry of the Evil Infant was the last thing Yun Wuji heard before losing consciousness.
...
"Master! You're awake!"
As Yun Wuji opened his eyes, his vision was immediately filled with the face of the Evil Infant, gazing at him with pleasant surprise.
"How much time has passed since I was unconscious?" Yun Wuji groaned as he stood up, inspecting his body. He felt a deep sense of weakness, as though his very being had been hollowed out.
'I'll need at least a few days to recover from this,' he thought grimly.
"Six hours, Master! I was super worried about you!" the Evil Infant exclaimed, floating around him.
"Master, you left me without food for six whole hours! I'm starving!" she added, puffing her cheeks.
"...Wait until I finish my work," Yun Wuji replied, looking at her speechlessly. It was clear she wasn't concerned about his safety, but more about the possibility of not getting any food. He sighed, consoling himself. At least she was becoming addicted to his cooking.
Looking ahead, a body that looked exactly like him lay on the ground, motionless, as if dead.
When his eyes landed on the body, Yun Wuji shivered, the memory of the unbearable pain he had endured flooding back. "The technique worked, but the price I had to pay... it's too much for salvation."
This technique was called Body Multiplication. It created a duplicate body using a portion of his flesh, blood, and soul.
The body created through this technique was formed from his blood and soul, and it required remote control by him. Essentially, it was as if he now possessed two bodies instead of one.
It is as if he had four arms, four legs, four balls, two lives, and two dicks. If he ever faced a fatal threat and died, as long as his other body remained safe, he would still be able to survive.
However, this technique also had its weaknesses. The second body did not possess profound veins. A person could naturally only have one set of profound veins. So, while the technique seemed overpowered, it still had a fatal flaw.
If his main body were to die, although he would survive using the second body, he would lose his greatest strength, the Unfettered profound veins. Without those, his power would be severely diminished.
Otherwise, Yun Wuji could have mass-produced his Unfettered profound veins and folded the entire world.
While looking at the body lying motionless before him, Yun Wuji focused his thoughts.
A strange and wondrous sensation washed over him as if he had gained additional limbs. He willed it, and the body's eyes snapped open. He tried to stand, but the unfamiliar sensation threw him off balance, and he stumbled, falling back to the ground once more. "This is a bit uncomfortable," Yun Wuji muttered, unable to precisely control the new body. He sat down, closed his eyes, and withdrew his attention from his true body, redirecting it fully into the new one.
Slowly, the body stood up. With a light hop into the air, Yun Wuji clenched his fists, a wave of unfamiliar weakness washing over him, something he hadn't felt in a very long time.
This body lacked profound veins, and without them, it also lacked any cultivation.
Yun Wuji began testing his new body, walking around cautiously at first. He then jogged toward the edge of the room and back before throwing a series of punches and kicks into the air. Each movement felt strange but gradually more natural as he adjusted to the unfamiliar sensation of controlling this body.
"Woah! Master, put on some clothes!" the Evil Infant suddenly shouted, her tiny hands covering her flushed red face. Yet, despite her words, a small gap between her fingers
betrayed her curiosity as she sneakily peeked through.
"...!!!" Yun Wuji's usually thick skin wasn't thick enough to ignore her this time. His face flushed a deep red as he hurriedly ran to the cabinet in the room, grabbed a fresh set of clothes, and quickly put them on.
He had been so engrossed in testing out his new body that he had completely forgotten it was
still butt-naked.
After becoming accustomed to the new body, Yun Wuji's main body opened its eyes. This time, he attempted something more challenging, controlling both bodies simultaneously. He stood up, and as if mirroring the action, the second body did the same. Slowly, they walked toward each other, step for step in perfect synchronization. Once they met in the middle, both extended their arms and shook hands.
After that, Yun Wuji threw a punch, which the second body blocked before returning a kick to
the main body.
At first, his movements were slow and basic, but as time passed, he gradually increased both his speed and the complexity of his motions. After a long while, he finally gained perfect control over both bodies simultaneously.
"As expected, my genius is almost frightening. Multi-tasking ain't shit to me!" both bodies said in unison, placing their hands on their hips and laughing arrogantly.
"..." The evil infant watched him, laughing arrogantly, speechless.
"Now let's get to the main part." Yun Wuji took out the black drop of blood he had refined in
the previous chapter. Holding it in his hand, he made the second body sit down. A wisp of profound energy enveloped the drop, lifting it and guiding it toward the body.
The drop of blood slowly and gently began to merge into him, like a droplet sinking into the calm surface of a lake. Without a sound, it had already fused with his body.
Bang!
A pillar of deep black light suddenly shot out from his body, surging upward with incredible force. It pierced through the roof, soaring high into the sky as if reaching for the heavens
themselves.
"Woaah! I get it now! You're trying to give this body the power of that weakling!" The evil infant clapped her hands together, her voice rising with excitement as if she had uncovered some mysterious secret.
She was probably the only one in the entire universe who would dare to call a Devil with the strength to rival a True God a "weakling."
"Hmm," Yun Wuji nodded, his gaze fixed on the body in front of him. At the same time, he focused on his second body, carefully guiding the dark profound energy through it.
When the drop of blood entered his body, it transformed into a black orb. From that orb, veins
began to form, his profound veins, a True God's profound veins.
Aside from the profound veins of the Heretic Gods and Yun Wuji's own veins, these were
probably the strongest in the current primal chaos.
After the profound veins formed, dark energy from the orb began pumping into them, coursing through his body. His cultivation started to surge rapidly with each pulse as the dark
profound energy flowed deeper into his veins.

His cultivation surged at an explosive pace. In less than half a minute, he broke through from
the 1st level of the Elementary Profound Realm to the 10th level of the True Profound Realm,
and the speed didn't slow down, in fact, it only continued to rise.

His cultivation continued to rise explosively, showing no sign of stopping. It wasn't until he
reached the Sovereign Profound Realm that it finally began to slow down.
2nd level Sovereign Profound Realm!
Finally, after reaching the peak of the 2nd level Sovereign Profound Realm, his crazy
breakthrough stopped, and the energy from the devil orb ceased.
All of this happened in the span of just a few minutes.
Breaking through from the 1st level Elementary Profound Realm all the way to the 2nd leveln/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Sovereign Profound Realm, if anyone were to witness this, they wouldn't believe it even if they saw it with their own eyes.
It would shatter all their hopes and motivation!
People spend hundreds, if not thousands, of years to reach this level, but right now, it took
him only a mere few minutes!
"Wuji! What's going on? Are you alright?!" Suddenly, multiple auras rushed toward Yun Wuji's room, with Gong Yuxian and Chu Yuechan leading the way.
They were staying at the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace when, from a distance, they saw an
ominous black pillar surging up from the Yun Palace. Alarmed, they immediately rushed to his side.
"Nah, nothing. I was just trying something," Yun Wuji replied, glancing at them. At the same
time, his second body, which had just finished assimilating the black drop of blood, opened his eyes and walked over to stand beside him.
"Eeeeh!!! Why are there two Yun Wuji?!" Feng Hanyue suddenly exclaimed, pointing at his
second body in confusion.
