Chapter 649: Never-Ending

While the Sword God muttered to himself, the Blue and Purple Semi-Immortal Ancestors activated their slaughter mode.

As local rulers, they drew Magic support from the mountain’s protective array, allowing them far more teleportations than the Sword God could manage.

Relying on this edge, both Ancestors felt confident about annihilating all three hundred of Fang Lie’s clones swiftly. Though Fang Lie would undoubtedly inflict heavy losses during this process, they deemed it acceptable if they could eradicate his forces completely.

With this resolve, the two Ancestors unleashed their full strength.

To maximize efficiency, they split up—locking onto a clone with their divine sense, teleporting nearby, then launching aerial strikes!

The Semi-Immortals’ strength far exceeded Fang Lie’s expectations. His clones couldn’t resist or flee, not even using Void Escape before being obliterated by their divine skills.

Their killing efficiency proved horrifying—each teleportation and strike took mere moments. With two Ancestors working simultaneously, two clones fell every breath. At this rate, all three hundred clones would perish in a hundred breaths!

The Blue and Purple Ancestors privately calculated: even with Fang Lie’s tricks, what real damage could he cause in such short time?

They gravely underestimated him.

Fang Lie’s hidden capabilities weren’t weak—they were maddeningly persistent.

Outside a medium-sized town, three clones materialized and jointly executed the Void Space Annihilation Slash.

Three Void rifts tore through the walls, breaching the protective array. The clones stormed inside, unleashing the Fire Bird Technique. Dozens of blazing Fire Birds materialized, spewing flames that transformed streets into a sea of flames. Countless low-level Cultivators perished as panic engulfed the town.

Some Cultivators howled at the sky; others sat frozen in despair.

Then the Blue Ancestor descended like a deity above the town.

The three clones instantly sensed danger and attempted Void Escape—too late. The Ancestor sealed the void with restrictions.

The stubborn old man snarled, "Flee? Die!"

An invisible power smashed the clones into dust before they could scream, simultaneously extinguishing the Fire Birds.

"Long live the Founder!" Ximen family clan disciples knelt, shouting praises.

But the Blue Ancestor didn’t linger—Fang Lie still attacked elsewhere. He vanished without a word.

The survivors buzzed with relief: "With our Founder’s protection, what’s that Fang Lie brat worth?"

"A mere clown!"

"I’d slap him dead if he showed his face!" boasted the local Fire Tribulation Immortal guard.

Then seven-colored flames erupted where the clones died—flames reaching three zhang before vanishing, leaving three new clones.

"Slap me now," one clone mocked.

"Ghosts!" The guard turned to flee.

Another clone teleported ahead, bisecting him with a Void Space Annihilation Slash that sucked the corpse into the void. Survivors scattered screaming.

The three Fang Lie clones showed no mercy and continued their rampage. Terrifying Dao magic erupted one after another, swiftly transforming the entire town into a sea of flames.

Having slain another Fang Lie clone in a distant location, the Blue Founder sensed the anomaly and muttered in confusion, "Damnation! Didn’t we purge those clones earlier? How have they reappeared?"

Though perplexed, he couldn’t afford delay. A medium-sized town housed tens of thousands, with nearly half being Ximen family clan disciples – losses were unacceptable!

He instantly teleported back, unleashing overwhelming power to obliterate three more clones. Assuming these were stragglers from other regions, he departed again without second thoughts.

Yet moments after leaving, his divine sense detected fresh chaos – three Fang Lie clones had materialized again, slaughtering his descendants.

"By the heavens! What trickery is this?" Even the normally careless Blue Founder now recognized something amiss.

After annihilating the clones once more, he interrogated a surviving disciple: "Explain! Why do these clones keep returning?"

"Founder, they resurrect from flames the moment you leave! Please stay, or none shall survive!" the disciple pleaded.

"Resurrection?" The Blue Founder’s brows furrowed. His divine sense swept through the scorched battlefield, seeking answers.

The secret lay in the dust-like Nirvana Fire Seeds enabling Fang Lie’s revival – particles too minuscule for even Semi-Immortals to distinguish from ordinary ash. Amidst the blazing ruins, finding these specks proved as futile as identifying a unique grain in desert sands.

After fruitless searching, the Blue Founder reluctantly conceded, "Perhaps they’re truly gone now?" He departed for other battlefronts, though wisened enough to leave behind a strand of divine sense.

What he witnessed next chilled his soul – seven-colored flames erupted from emptiness, birthing three fully restored clones who immediately resumed their slaughter.

"Blast it all!" The Blue Founder’s divine sense scanned previously cleared areas, finding clones resurrected everywhere. His frantic efforts had been utterly useless – Fang Lie’s forces regrew like weeds after scything.

The Purple Founder arrived through teleportation, frustration evident: "Big Brother, this is hopeless! They revive faster than we can kill!"

"His undying nature permits instant resurrection, but this… hundreds of clones?" The Blue Founder grimaced. "We’re outmatched."

Sword God materialized nearby, urgency in his voice: "They’re converging on the large towns! Mo Qianxun’s Semi-Immortal Sword Energy will shatter their defenses effortlessly!"

Dread gripped the founders. These treasure trove towns represented generations of investment – their loss could cripple the Ximen clan. Though three boasted Ninth-Rank Treasures, others stood defenseless.

Abandoning pride, the Blue Founder’s magic-amplified voice thundered across their territory: "Fang Lie! Cease this madness! Let us negotiate!"

The response came as furious roars from countless clones: "Negotiate? You started this war by stealing treasures and spitting on my honor! You chose when to fight – I choose when it ends! Did you think my oath of endless vengeance was empty words?"
