After Murong Dong dealt with Murong Hai, he felt the changes within himself, which was truly wonderful.
Becoming stronger is one aspect, but more importantly, it's about the transformation of the soul, becoming more complete.
He had initially thought his soul was perfect, but after merging with Murong Hai's soul, he realized he was wrong.
His mind became sharper, and he craved more similar spiritual replenishment.
Like an addict, Murong Dong rushed off to his next target.
That's how he killed and devoured hundreds of clones.
Having merged with so many independent souls in a short period of time, he could not completely eliminate these souls' wills; he could only forcefully suppress them.
This sometimes leads to him exhibiting symptoms of split personality.
Murong Dong was naturally aware of this potential danger, but he was anxious because he wanted to bring all the avatars below the level of Immortal Emperor under his control.
Don't forget, there are also eight other avatars of the Immortal Emperor. Murong Dong must ensure that he takes the lead in the final fusion.
After a quick harvest, he had basically dealt with all the clones that had flowed towards him and planned to go elsewhere to snatch food.
Just then, he noticed another clone approaching.
This clone is at the peak of the Immortal King realm; given a little more time, he can break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.
Murong Dong didn't think much of it; he figured he could deal with this person first and then leave.
His figure flashed, and he quickly arrived in front of the clone.
Having harvested so many clones, Murong Dong could immediately tell the difference between the person in front of him and the others.
This person exuded an overwhelming aura of malevolence, resentment, and malevolence, radiating a palpable killing intent.
Such an aura is something that even a Celestial Emperor, let alone a Celestial King, might not be able to create; it is very unusual.
Moreover, this person gave him a particularly clear-headed feeling, quite different from others.
This person is a peak Golden Immortal from the Yuanming Immortal Realm, who swept away the evil and malevolent energy that polluted the Black Rope Immortal Realm.
He is now a Celestial King, almost at the Celestial Emperor level. It's incredible that he broke through a major realm in such a short time.
Murong Dong did not immediately take action, but instead asked with great interest:
"Your killing intent is extraordinary. Even someone at the peak of the Slaughter Dao couldn't possibly reach this level with your cultivation. What's going on?"
The man seemed to know his fate and coldly replied, "When our souls merge, won't we know everything? Why ask so many questions?"
Murong Dong wasn't angry; a smile curved her lips. "That makes sense. Are you going to make a move?"
The man did not answer, but began to act, also using a black sword.
The sword was as black as ink, but the malevolent aura emanating from the man was even blacker than the sword. The intense malevolent aura burst forth continuously, enveloping his entire body and even covering Murong Dong.
Murong Dong sensed the unusual nature of this malevolent aura; it was far too intense, and it also had a familiar feel to it.
He was confident in his superior cultivation and allowed men to do as they pleased.
The man raised the ink-black sword with both hands, knowing he only had one chance to strike. He exerted all his strength, pouring all his resentment into this single blow.
The ink-black sword slashed fiercely down at Murong Dong, carrying with it a thick black aura, looking like a giant pen writing its own chapter in the vast天地 (heaven and earth).
The ink sword swept across the area, creating a surge of black energy that shrouded the figures of the two men like clouds.
Murong Dong heard the shouts of countless people, smelled the strong stench of blood, and felt a mix of emotions including misery, helplessness, and despair.
Suddenly he sensed a surge of killing intent, and the ink sword was already upon him.
He nodded secretly. The power of this sword was comparable to that of an Immortal Emperor. It was not easy for an Immortal King to unleash such a move.
However, for Murong Dong, who was at the Immortal Emperor realm, it was nothing to mention.
He easily grasped the ink sword, and under the man's intense resentment, he pointed a finger at his brow.
When the sword finger was withdrawn, a small figure appeared. Murong Dong crushed it, and the fragments of the man's soul turned into starlight and drifted towards his dantian.
The man's experiences flashed through his mind, and he was overjoyed, finally knowing the man's secret.
"So these malevolent and violent energies were left behind when the original body perished. No wonder they felt so familiar to me."
This clone was only at the Golden Immortal realm not long ago, but it has improved so much in such a short time, also due to the effects of these baleful energies.
It can captivate people's minds and increase their power, while also helping to weaken the influence of the original body's will on him.
No wonder he seemed more sober than others.
Hey, now all of this is mine, including him.
Murong Dong made a gesture from a distance, and a porcelain bottle appeared in his hand. This was the bottle the man used to collect evil energy.
The man was merely a Celestial King; it was impossible for him to absorb and digest all that malevolent energy, leaving much behind.
Murong Dong smiled and waved her hand at the man's body.
Bang.
The man transformed into a crimson mist of blood, which also erupted with thick black energy, all converging towards him.
Murong Dong accepted all offers, as these were all energies beneficial to him. He even opened the porcelain bottle to refine the remaining malevolent energy.
The process went very smoothly. This originally belonged to Murong Yi, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was his.
Murong Dong beamed with joy; this murderous aura was extremely useful to him.
During this time, he continued to merge with the souls of other clones, but he was unable to eliminate the side effects. Those residual wills would occasionally affect him.
Now it's all good; with the help of these malevolent energies, it's no longer a problem.
In addition, his cultivation level has increased from the mid-stage of Immortal Emperor to the late-stage of Immortal Emperor, and he is about to reach his peak.
Murong Dong's eyes flashed with a sharp light; he wanted to press on and harvest as many clones as possible in one go.
He sensed the location and saw which clone was closest. Soon after, he made a decision and headed towards the central part of the Central Heaven Immortal Realm.
...
Almost all of the Soul-Devouring Evil Emperor's thousands of clones have their own independent will, but they are all influenced by their subconscious.
Murong Dong is not an isolated case.
In their own struggle, only the nine clones, all of whom are at the level of Immortal Emperors, have the ability to maintain their current will with minimal impact.
Their idea was the same as Murong Dong's: to quickly harvest clones to strengthen themselves.
They did just that, sweeping away all the clones that were flowing towards them.
The number of Soul Devouring Evil Emperor's clones is rapidly decreasing, and there are very few left. The remaining clones are concentrated in the central part of the Central Heaven Immortal Realm.
There are two reasons for this.
Firstly, this place is located in the center of the Central Celestial Realm, and is connected to various other areas.
Secondly, the clones here are only at the early stage of Immortal Emperor, so merging them is relatively slow.
Murong Dong arrived here and, having already succeeded several times, was in high spirits. "I really came to the right place."
He quickly found another target, an avatar at the level of a Celestial Emperor, and was about to make a move.
At this moment, he sensed other Immortal Emperor-level beings approaching their target.
He frowned, paused slightly, and continued to attack the Immortal Emperor.
Another Immortal Emperor was displeased. Instead of attacking the target, he blocked Murong Dong.
