Doomsday Code

Chapter 947 Counterfeit

Hearing the words the god was reciting and seeing his posture, Chen Cheng's heart trembled.

He had witnessed the power of this demigod realm before; unless one attacked the physical body, it was impossible to truly break through it by force.

When he first encountered those two guys, Lauder and the Bull, it was the Bull that attacked the military formation they cared about first, which forced the two to show themselves, allowing him to break through the demigod realm by attacking their true forms.

Otherwise, even if he had summoned the closed-eyed deity, it wouldn't have been of much use due to the distortion and changes in the rules of heaven and earth; at most, it would have only been able to protect him.

The god moved very quickly. His transformed form stretched out his hands and grabbed at the air, and it really seemed as if he had grabbed something, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

Chen Cheng knew something was wrong, and immediately he and Sheli, in perfect unison, attacked Shen Zhi Nian.

The sword intent and blade light slashed across him simultaneously, carrying with them divine power to annihilate him, severing his hands that were tearing at him.

However, the next moment, Shen Zhinian burst into laughter, and his figure suddenly swelled, instantly enveloping Chen Cheng and the other person, saying:

"Ants are just ants. They fall for the slightest trick. They'll all become my nourishment."

Immediately, Shen Zhinian's body began to shrink rapidly, as if he had opened his blood-red maw and swallowed Chen Cheng and the other person whole.

However, Chen Cheng and She Li remained completely calm. They began to activate She Li's hastily matured Dao Tree, and the sword intent surged like a vast ocean, gathering around them.

"You want to swallow us? Let's see if you have the teeth to do it."

Immediately, the sword intent surged, like two raging waves churning within Shen Zhinian's body.

The guy Shen Zhi Nian isn't actually that strong. After all, he's just an incarnation of a god's thoughts. The reason he seems so strong is because he's a god's thoughts, and the power he uses is god-level.

Therefore, those below the demigod level are nothing but ants to him, and even demigods cannot cause him any fatal damage due to their weak divine power.

But now he has encountered Chen Cheng, especially the super combination of Chen Cheng and Sheli, who are both half-baked, yet Chen Cheng and the others have enough power of equal level to fight against him.

So when the sword intent surged like a raging torrent within his body, the form of the divine thought bulged outwards and was immediately riddled with holes by Chen Cheng and the other man's sword intent.

However, a divine thought is still just a divine thought. Even if the intent of abandoning the sword has been accelerated, it is still no match for it in essence. So this wave can only be described as having a lot of momentum, but the damage is actually very weak.

After Chen Cheng and the other person were expelled, Shen Zhi Nian finally took it seriously.

"It seems these two ants are a bit of a pain, but after I've swallowed both of you, my recovery speed can be accelerated."

Immediately, the god demonstrated what it means to materialize something through thought.

Under his control, he actually broke free from the power of the rules of heaven and earth, and forcibly condensed into a real form using his own divine sense.

Instantly, two dark avatars identical to Chen Cheng and his companion appeared, each wielding the same weapon.

"Let you two ants fight it out yourselves. I need to go find that rat hiding in the shadows."

After opening the demigod realm, Kui Niu went into hiding.

Although Kui Niu didn't make a move, he actually bore the biggest burden among the three.

To isolate a god-level being with a demigod realm is an unimaginable burden, because the god-level being has already grasped the essence of the rules, and to prevent the being from controlling the rules, the demigod must be stronger than the one being imprisoned.

Although the demigod realm is his home turf and he has an advantage, this advantage is very slight.

To maintain this level of focus, he must remain single-mindedly engaged in a contest with a god-like being regarding the comprehension of the rules.

God thought that although this guy was arrogant, he wasn't a conceited fool.

Although Chen Cheng possessed divine power capable of rivaling him, he realized that Chen Cheng and his companion were merely mediocre; the real threat to him lay in this demigod realm.

Once he breaks through this demigod realm, he can use the power of external rules to achieve great things with limited resources and easily turn the tables on Chen Cheng and the others.

This is similar to the super tentacles he created by leaking his power outside the abyss; those tentacles were formed by him using the power of the rules.

Otherwise, with so many demigods like the Barbarian King, if they really went head-to-head with him, they could wear him down even if it was just a matter of attrition.

Seeing that Shen Zhinian was going to find Kui Niu, Chen Cheng slashed at him with his sword. However, the next moment a dark sword light flashed by, collided with the sword light he had slashed, and then canceled each other out.

Upon seeing this, Chen Cheng's pupils dilated involuntarily.

The sword in his hand was no ordinary object; it was the only king's sword in the world. How could the fake one that this guy made possibly have the same power as the one he used to unleash a strike?

Chen Cheng didn't believe it and immediately launched a rapid attack.

However, the fake also launched a rapid attack, and its angle and force were exactly the same as Chen Cheng's, as if it were fighting against its own reflection in a mirror.

Chen Cheng had seen this kind of plot many times in his previous life. Although in many of these plots the protagonist would eventually unleash some kind of willful power, forcibly boost his own strength, and then defeat the clone.

But he is now in reality, and the reality is that the increase in power cannot be created out of thin air.

Chen Cheng did not believe that he was an absolute mirror image; he must have limits.

Therefore, Chen Cheng's attacks became increasingly rapid, with each strike being a powerful and forceful all-out attack.

And in the end, he once again activated the power of the rules of the King's Sword in his hand.

However, in the end, all of Chen Cheng's moves were blocked by the fake.

Meanwhile, Sheli encountered the same problem. No matter whether he used sword intent or shadow escape to ambush, the fake would make the same counterattack.

And when all these attacks stop, the fake will also stop, but as soon as you make a move, it will make a move too, which is really disgusting.

Chen Cheng never expected that he would experience such a torturous and disgusting situation in reality.

After several minutes of fighting, Chen Cheng stopped.

Chen Cheng did not believe that the fake was omniscient and omnipotent, nor did he believe that it was a mirror image. This thing was more like a special kind of psychological illness—self-awareness disorder, which is commonly known in this world as inner demons.

However, this character is personified.

Because only oneself can truly achieve complete alignment of actions and thoughts.

Since no abnormalities have been found after so long, the only explanation is a self-perception disorder.

Defeating him is simple and old-fashioned: understand yourself and then defeat yourself.

However, Chen Cheng is not the kind of protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel who can unleash his power against his will at will. Even if he knew the reason, he could not possibly achieve the feat of defeating himself in a short period of time.

It's like not being able to see the true face of Mount Lu because you are in the mountain yourself.

This is not something he can achieve by saying a few insincere words.

Although he can't unleash his full potential through cheat codes, Chen Cheng is smart enough.

If you can't beat yourself, then just let someone else beat you.
