Chapter 126: Substitute Avatar, Wham!

TL: Etude

The talent for substitution was indeed as Ye Tian had speculated—it could be used to cheat death once. However, it wasn't unconditional. Materials for a substitute were needed, such as the corpses of fierce beasts or humans. Utilizing the power of the substitution talent, he could modify these corpses into a substitute avatar.

Afterward, this avatar would be hidden somewhere. If Ye Tian were killed in the outside world, he could instantaneously activate the talent for substitution. His true body and the substitute avatar would swap places instantly, letting the substitute die in Ye Tian's stead. (O:)

Because the substitute avatar and the true body were nearly indistinguishable, as long as the enemy didn't inspect carefully, they would think they had killed the real deal.

Such an against-the-heavens talent had its restrictions, however. It could be used only once every three years, and there were distance limitations—the true body couldn't be farther than a million meters from the substitute avatar, otherwise, the talent would become ineffective.

Perhaps if he were to advance his medium-level death substitution talent to a higher level, the distance limitation would increase considerably and the time interval would also reduce. But for now, Ye Tian could only make do with the medium-level talent.

"I should take some time to create a substitute avatar. It's basically like having an extra life," Ye Tian muttered to himself.

Shortly after, his attention shifted back to his spatial talent.

[Spatial Talent: High-tier]

"The medium-level spatial talent grants spatial perception, spatial markings, portable space, and teleportation. After upgrading to high-tier, my portable space has increased tenfold, equivalent to a small plaza. Additionally, my other abilities have also greatly improved. Truly deserving of being a high-tier spatial talent," Ye Tian was quite satisfied.

What he valued most, however, was the skill called Spatial Blade!

"Spatial Blade!"

With a mere thought, a black blade materialized in front of Ye Tian, formed entirely from spatial forces. It looked like a crack in space, but its shape resembled that of a blade.

"Disperse!"

Ye Tian deactivated the Spatial Blade talent. He didn't dare test it here; otherwise, the other Kings would come to know of it. How would he explain it then?

He couldn't expose his high-tier spatial talent just yet.

"I better focus on cultivation," Ye Tian murmured to himself.

His soul was damaged, which would affect his comprehension of runes, intentions, and techniques. However, it would not affect his cultivation of the Purple Blood Body Refining Technique.

Thus, Ye Tian began to cultivate like mad, consuming the blood of King-level fierce beasts to cultivate the Purple Blood Body Refining Technique daily.

The next vein he aimed to refine was the Yang Wei Vein, and he was not far from completing it.

In just ten days, Ye Tian successfully refined the Yang Wei Vein, reaching a physical strength of 21 elephants.

The third meridian he chose was the Yin Qiao Meridian from the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

Days that followed were monotonous—cultivating, cultivating, and occasionally clearing out some fierce beasts.

In this manner, Ye Tian had been guarding the spatial rift for two months.
