Chapter 1463 - 1439: The Self Tribulation

Emperor Jiang stood still, not moving at all, not even blinking, calmly watching the sword light rushing towards him.

In the next moment, the boundless sword light completely engulfed Emperor Jiang!

But in the very next moment, the scene before Emperor Jiang changed. He was still standing in mid-air, now on the third step.

His eyes shining with light, Emperor Jiang looked up at the newly appeared fourth step ahead and suddenly stepped down again!

At this moment, the red light all over Emperor Jiang's body grew even more prosperous as if covered by blood-red liquid, and his internal strength had reached its peak.

He had absorbed the essence left behind by previous generations of Demon Kings, making him the strongest currently. If even he couldn't break through to the Fourth-Step Immortal Platform and break the seal of the East Sea forbidden area, then it could be said that the Ancient Demon Race had little hope of breaking the seal.

There was an icy persistence in Emperor Jiang's eyes, and almost instantaneously, his foot stepped onto the fourth step.

Within Emperor Jiang, a constant booming, as if an Array had appeared on the fourth step, and his figure directly sank into it.

Endless terrifying and violent flames burned around, and further ahead, there was a narrow, cold, transparent sky canyon. Below were chilling long swords, and ahead was an energy cluster flickering.

Ignoring the flames and long swords, Emperor Jiang suddenly charged forward. In the next moment, the energy felt his approach and suddenly transformed into a person who looked exactly like Emperor Jiang!

"The Self-Struggle Calamity."

There was a cold glint in Emperor Jiang's eyes. He hadn't expected this weird Array on the fourth step, where everything of his was replicated by the opponent, including his Cultivation Technique and moves, all known to it.

To break this Array and qualify for the fourth step, he must defeat this fake Emperor Jiang!

Without hesitation, Emperor Jiang moved swiftly, his figure instantly rushed towards the opponent, right hand raised, five fingers forming a palm, immediately closing in.

The opponent's expression remained unchanged, with the right hand forming a palm identical to Emperor Jiang's move. The scene was incredibly eerie, and any onlooker would be shocked.

The two, identical in appearance, expression, attire, and more, executed the same moves within the Array like two meteors, getting closer with each howl.

In an instant, the two neared each other, Emperor Jiang's eyes flashed with murderous intent. His right hand, five fingers forming a palm, directly clashed with the opponent's right palm.

A booming explosion suddenly echoed in this world, sending endless echoes in all directions, as if the heavens and earth were angrily roaring, causing deafening noise, with unending boom reverberating in the ears.

Amidst these persistent echoes, Emperor Jiang and his opponent moved in perfect sync. At the moment their palms touched, both clenched their five fingers inward fiercely.

Rumbling resumed, a fierce storm erupted between the two, forming a gust that ruffled their identical white hair and clothes, and at that moment, their expressions mirrored each other, revealing killing intent amidst their gloom.

This was too strange; the opponent was another Emperor Jiang, mastering everything Emperor Jiang did. This Array was extremely hard to break.

Previously, Emperor Jiang had lost at this fourth step.

Both bodies simultaneously flew backward, each shocked away, but suddenly, the opponent's left hand raised, white energy swirling into a white mist. The right hand rose, black energy shrouded, like inky black mist billowing as they both lifted their hands, swiftly closing in on Emperor Jiang, palms pressing forward.

Life and Death Seal!

A powerful life-and-death aura erupted from the opponent's body at this moment, with the left hand containing life, as if imbued with the essence of all beings, and the right hand grasping death, as if controlling the cycle of beginnings and endings. When close, the left hand pressed towards Emperor Jiang, the white mist howling, devouring straight at him. This white mist was vitality, harmless in essence, but Emperor Jiang understood that the vitality within the white mist was part of the Life and Death Seal. Once inside, alongside the arrival of the death mist, the Life and Death Seal would form.

With a cold snort, Emperor Jiang similarly raised his left hand, with vitality spreading into mist, enveloping the surroundings. In that mist, his left hand pierced through the mist, colliding with the opponent's grasp of life.

With a boom, the two bodies simultaneously trembled, each having vitality invading their systems, disrupting their internal breath, spraying blood, yet neither retreated. Instead, they raised their right hands again, clashing fiercely once more.

Reverberating booms echoed, the storm changed color, the earth trembled, as Emperor Jiang and his opponent retreated amidst sprayed blood, but at the retreat's instant, both simultaneously clasped a Spell.

Under rumbling loud explosions, Emperor Jiang's body landed on the ground, retreating step by step, each step shaking the earth, continuously retreating a hundred steps before he stopped, face pale.

The opponent likewise retreated, and there was a hint of killing intent in Emperor Jiang's eyes. This Self-Struggle Calamity was too troublesome, but it was not entirely impossible.

The opponent existed solely because of himself, mastering everything he did, but the one Cultivation Technique he mastered, the opponent did not know!

Suddenly, Emperor Jiang raised his right palm, and in an instant, a long spear flew out, grasped in his hand, while the opponent not far away mimicked the same move.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Jiang did not attack but rather held the spear, then brutally stabbed it into his own heart!

Suddenly, Emperor Jiang felt gravely injured, his whole body flying backward while the opponent did the same.

Emperor Jiang's mouth erupted with a large spurt of blood, and the opponent's did too!

This strike was enough to be fatal, Emperor Jiang's life rapidly fading, yet suddenly, the life aura escaping his entire body abruptly started to recover.

The red light on his body flickered, blood-red liquid enveloping him. The next moment, Emperor Jiang opened his eyes again, withdrawing the spear from his heart!

The next moment, the pierced heart began to heal, beating strongly, while the fake Emperor Jiang lay on the ground, unable to rise.

"The Life Revival Skill of my clan, I don't believe you know it."

Emperor Jiang coldly snorted, flicked his right hand, and the spear flew towards the glow in mid-air not far away, piercing it directly. In the next moment, Emperor Jiang stood again on the fourth step!
