Chapter 401: Chaotic Qi and Rainbow Phenomenon
Since arriving in this world, Cao Zhen has no idea how many treasures he's obtained, and even once allied with other forces to split a Great Teaching.
But now, witnessing this Chaos Qi, his heart couldn't help but thump uncontrollably.
"Clone, let the clone test it first."
With a thought, Cao Zhen began to conjure his clones.
After teaching the cloning technique to Xiang Ziyu, and continuously lying to succeed, he can now conjure three clones.
However, he only conjured two clones, though he can create a third clone.
His heart moved, and he began to summon a third clone.
Before long, a figure identical to him appeared in front of him.
With a thought, his third clone directly walked to the side of the pool, gathering Chaos Qi, raising a hand to grasp the Chaos Qi within the pool water.
Suddenly, at the instant the clone's Chaos Qi touched the pool water, a dazzling Seven-Colored Radiance exploded from the Chaos Qi swimming slowly in the pool, illuminating this entire world brightly.
The Seven-Colored Radiance shot directly onto his clone, and instantly, the entire clone uncontrollably flew into the Chaos Qi.
In an instant, the Chaos Qi began to whirl madly, while the Chaos Qi within the clone shot into the main body of Chaos Qi.
His clone, formed by Chaos Qi, now had its Chaos Qi completely devoured, and in an instant, the entire clone dissipated.
"Puh..."
With the clone dissipating, Cao Zhen shuddered uncontrollably, spitting a mouthful of crimson blood.
The disappearance of the clone naturally brought backlash. Luckily, the strength of the newly conjured clone wasn't too strong, just reaching the Earth Immortal Realm's power.
"This Chaos Qi can even devour Chaos Qi. No wonder the Demonic Lord Qing Shi was so assured. After discovering the Chaos Qi, he even dared to leave this place.
She surely already knows that Chaos Qi can devour people. The reason she's always wanted another person with Chaos Qi, i.e., me, to enter this place, is precisely because of this.
She's waiting for someone else to touch the Chaos Qi, then be devoured, so she can collect the Chaos Qi.
Too bad she probably didn't anticipate that I could conjure clones, and the clones have taken my place."
Cao Zhen looked up at the sky. After the Chaos Qi absorbed his clone, the radiance from the sky intensified, and a rainbow even appeared in the void. With such a great change, the Demonic Lord Qing Shi must have noticed the abnormality. He must hasten to collect the Chaos Qi.
The rainbow was not just over this mountain. At this moment, everyone within the River of All Realms saw the sudden appearance of the rainbow overhead.
"This rainbow."
"What's happening? Even at such a distance from the rainbow, I can feel an immensely powerful force coming from it."
"The rainbow's aura is incredibly ancient; it's not like any aura I've encountered."
"Chaos Qi, it must be Chaos Qi!"
"The Chaos Qi has appeared!"
"Quick, go!"
They know that there is someone in the River of All Realms who can wield Demonic Qi and has been slaughtering people everywhere.
Previously, they've been avoiding this person.
But now, they can't care about that anymore.
This is legendary Chaos Qi!
They are hidden away but could still be discovered by that person and might die. Better to take a risk; maybe they could acquire Chaos Qi!
Immortal Zi Hua, Sword Immortal, at this moment, everyone races towards the place where the rainbow appeared.
In the void, the Demonic Lord Qing Shi glanced back at the rainbow appearing in the sky, showing a look of excitement, murmuring to herself, "You finally found the Chaos Qi. What a pity, I could have killed a few more days, gathered more resources, but now, I must go collect the Chaos Qi."
Her figure moved swiftly toward the distance.
On the mountaintop, after his clone died, Cao Zhen just wanted to gather Chaos Qi and reach for the Chaos Qi in the pool.
Yet, his hand suddenly paused.
No one can guarantee that attempting to grasp the Chaos Qi a second time won't result in being devoured.
Moreover, he has conjured clones after all, he can't assure that the Chaos Qi's consumption of the clone's aura is the same as consuming human Chaos Qi.
Better to be cautious, within this short time, the Demonic Lord Qing Shi probably can't return here either.
With a thought, he conjured another clone and let it reach toward the Chaos Qi in the pool.
The next moment, when the clone touched the Chaos Qi in the pool, it did not cause the same devouring of Chaos Qi as before.
"It's good now."
Confirming safety, Cao Zhen immediately withdrew his clone and then extended a hand, grasping the Chaos Qi and placing it in the Qiankun Bag.
In the next moment, as the Chaos Qi vanished, the Seven-Colored Radiance in the void above also disappeared.
"Why did this rainbow disappear so suddenly? It's uncertain if the River of All Realms is back to normal; probably it is. Which means I'm extremely vulnerable now, who knows if anyone is nearby."
