Chapter 2828: Chapter 2829: Copying Fate

Actually, long before this, Xue An rarely used his fists and feet.

This doesn’t mean Xue An’s fists and feet are lacking, rather he simply doesn’t need to use them.

Because Xue An’s strength has reached such a level that ordinary enemies might not even withstand a single strand of his Sword Qi, so how could Xue An need to personally intervene?

And even when facing strong enemies, Xue An has numerous strategies to choose from without having to trouble himself with fists and feet combat.

But today, Xue An abandoned all fancy techniques, using only pure fists and feet to deal with this high-quality clone of himself standing before him.

Boom!

The punch carried the sound of thunder and wind, heavily striking the arms of the clone Xue An that were guarding his face.

Even though this clone Xue An managed to find his footing from an initially absolute disadvantage, the sheer force of this punch still pushed him back several steps.

Yet this was merely the beginning, as another punch from Xue An arrived before the clone could regain his balance.

This punch was even more powerful than the first, and it struck precisely at the same spot as the previous punch.

Two crisp sounds echoed, and the clone Xue An let out a muffled groan as both arm bones shattered.

Simultaneously, Xue An’s third punch landed.

With no arms left to protect his face, this punch landed directly on the clone’s face.

A dull thud was heard as the clone Xue An’s head exploded like a rotten watermelon.

Oddly enough, there wasn’t a single drop of blood throughout the entire process.

Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly, unleashing another punch to shatter the remaining headless corpse.

The result remained the same—apart from the scattering fragments, not a single drop of blood emerged, and the fragments soon dispersed into the void.

Xue An slowly retracted his fist, coldly gazing at this so-called imaginary space ahead.

He had his reasons for choosing to battle this clone with fists and feet.

Everything he knew, this high-quality clone of himself practically knew as well.

This was truly terrifying.

Because Xue An’s knowledge, whether it be Red Lotus Sword Intent or Supreme Divine Intent, was gradually honed through cultivation, and no one had known these techniques before him.

In other words, even if someone wanted to learn and imitate him, there was nowhere to learn from.

Yet this clone Xue An not only knew it all, but matched him in every aspect.

When Xue An fought him, he had a sense of clashing against his own reflection.

Crucially, under identical conditions, all of Xue An’s techniques were suppressed.

Your Sword Intent just shot forth, but the opponent countered with the same Sword Intent, nullifying it instantly—how could you fight that?

Thus, Xue An decided to discard all external techniques, opting instead for direct, flesh-to-flesh combat against this clone.

This resulted in astonishing success, as in just a few encounters, this clone Xue An was thoroughly shattered.

Yet, at this moment, Xue An’s expression remained tense, his gaze still coldly fixed forward.

For he knew, matters would not end so simply.

Indeed.

A muffled sigh echoed from the void, followed by the fragments that had scattered across the space flowing back and swiftly converging.

Moments later, the clone Xue An stood once again before Xue An.

The whole process appeared as though time had been reversed, with no trace of injury visible on the clone Xue An.

Xue An took a deep breath and said slowly, "The power of time, huh? Seems the figure backing you is indeed the one altering the Multiverse timeline!"

The clone Xue An laughed heartily, "Indeed, Xue An, and let me tell you the truth—the master who created me controls not just the power of time but also the destiny of all things! He is omnipotent and omnipresent!"

Xue An’s heart stirred.

Because the words of this clone revealed several critical pieces of information.

Firstly, he was created by someone, and the creator is the very entity that altered the Multiverse timeline.

Secondly, this entity also controls the Force of Destiny, which reminded Xue An of an encounter with an unspeakable being when he went to the tower with Tuan’er.

It seems these hidden big shots are finally unable to restrain themselves and are beginning to show themselves! Xue An smiled coldly, utterly fearless.

"So the omnipotent existence created someone as worthless as you?"

These statements immediately darkened the clone Xue An’s expression, and he retorted through gritted teeth, "Xue An, don’t be so smug; I was merely careless just now and let you take advantage of me! If we truly started fighting, you might not be my match!"

"Oh? So certain?" Xue An said with a trace of amusement.

"Absolutely. Xue An, do you know how I was created? Let me enlighten you; I was copied from your destiny trajectory, which is why I possess everything you do!"

"Copied from my destiny trajectory?" Xue An frowned slightly.

"Exactly!" The clone Xue An became excited.

"The great and omnipotent master created a tributary outside the time river of all things, and then within that tributary recreated your destiny trajectory identically."

"This means I experienced everything you did too! So in this world, no one understands you better than I do—how will you compete with me, Xue An?"

Xue An’s eyes gradually grew colder.

He understood the clone Xue An’s words.

In simple terms, someone with great power created a timeline identical to the Multiverse’s Earth and imposed his own destiny onto this figure before him.

Thus, this Xue An naturally possess the Red Lotus Sword Intent and various techniques.

Yet, Xue An’s focus wasn’t on this but on another problem.

If this being could even create a timeline, it showed their strength had broken beyond the limits of rules.

An existence like this should find it easy to kill him, so why hadn’t they done so? Instead, they went to such lengths to cultivate someone identical to him?

Considering the manipulation of the Multiverse timeline was also a roundabout method to deal with him.

Xue An gradually grasped a truth.

This entity wants to eradicate him, but he dares not do it directly and thus relies on such indirect methods.

Realizing this, a cold smile slowly appeared on Xue An’s lips.

"No wonder you’re so desperate to kill me!"

"Of course, as long as I kill you in this imaginary space, my timeline can merge into the great river of existence, and then I can take your place, inheriting everything you possess... even your wife and daughter!"
