However... the shattered snow flew around.
The fake Gu Shen seed to show little sign of pain. He slowly supported himself against the sides of the concave stone wall, stood up, and shook off the black snow and rubble. With this calm indifference and a touch of mockery, he stared at himself.
Then.
A flicker of firelight ignited on the fake’s forehead.
Gu Shen’s heart sank, and he couldn’t believe it.
"Fiery Fire... can it be replicated too?"
This scene had already surpassed the scope of his understanding... On the surface, the power of the Fiery Fire was S-rank, but Gu Shen knew that the reason for this grade was because the Federation Governnt’s maximum evaluation for Extraordinary Abilities was only S-rank.
"No..."
"The ’Fiery Fire’ it replicates is far inferior to mine..."
Shocked for a second, Gu Shen quickly regained his composure. Similar things had happened before. Xu Yan once attempted to steal the Fiery Fire Power using the "Fire Stealer," but he failed, even with the help of the Wine God!
"High temperature, possessing spiritual fluctuations, capable of linking and commanding..."
Gu Shen stared into the replica’s eyes. The fire on the opponent’s forehead had replicated quite a few characteristics of the "Fiery Fire," but the most crucial one had not yet been revealed.
Was it because he himself hadn’t displayed it?
Gu Shen squinted his eyes.
A bold idea surfaced in his mind.
In the next mont—
"Ha!"
With a loud shout, the iron armor covering Gu Shen instantly spread out!
[Iron Throne] is an extrely defensive top-tier ability, but this doesn’t an... the [Iron Throne] can only be used for defense.
Because Gu Shen did not have as high a proficiency in this ability as Tie Wu.
He specialized in Fiery Fire and had no extra energy to study the [Iron Throne], so he had always used it to wield the iron shield in combination with spiritual power for instant reformation to prevent surprise attacks.
Yet, in the hands of Apostle Tie Wu, this ability could unleash a terrifying mass attack capable of slaughtering an entire Lion Alley.
The iron shield was dispersed by Gu Shen with spiritual power, sweeping toward all directions.
At this mont, the "replica" responsible for commanding from afar sneered without any panic, lifted his palm, and summoned a similar "iron shield," maneuvering the iron fragnts under his control to intercept Gu Shen’s offensive.
Gu Shen’s expression remained unchanged.
Since this Mirror Dream could copy Zhong Yuan’s [Phoenix Ring], then replicating his iron fragnts was nothing...
He simply needed to verify to what extent this Mirror Dream’s replication ability reached.
Could it also recreate the unique "special material" of sothing like the Naless Iron Armor, unearthed from the Tundra Tomb, which was not a sealed item?
Very soon.
Gu Shen’s speculation was confird!
"Clang!"
With a crisp sound, two waves of iron collided, which was almost a one-sided crush. The "iron shield" of Gu Shen’s replica was shattered after dispersing!
At this mont, his face changed dramatically.
He looked at Gu Shen in shock— as if he had encountered sothing incomprehensible.
"Heh..."
Gu Shen hesitated no longer, advancing towards him once more!
Indeed!
The replication ability of the Mirror Dream was limited. Sothing as bizarre as the Naless Iron Armor, with an origin even Mr. Gu couldn’t deduce, could not be sealed!
Because the iron armor wasn’t a sealed item!
It only had the property of being "indestructible"!
Moreover, Gu Shen guessed that the replication power of this Mirror Dream might be related to his own "cognition." He only saw Zhong Yuan using the [Phoenix Ring] to create fire, without witnessing the real [Phoenix Ring] in combat, so the Phoenix Fire that lingered on the bullet wasn’t much different from the intensity he had sensed earlier!
Additionally, this replica mimicked his stance in wielding the "iron armor" almost identically.
But in reality, it paled greatly!
He used the [Iron Throne] to resonate with the Naless Iron Shield, instantly unleashing it; nothing was faster than the unity of mind and intent!
While the replica manipulated these iron pieces using spiritual power...
This was a poor imitation, and the reason for this might be that this "Mirror Dream" was observing him, possessing its own logic but lacking the fundantal divine prowess to grasp the essence of things!
The most substantial evidence was this dry, intense battle that had been ongoing for several minutes.
After stepping onto the snow mountain, the squad mbers hadn’t exerted their abilities at all... so what this "Mirror Dream" could replicate were only their equipnt and his "Fiery Fire"!
Gu Shen twisted his wrist.
The iron fragnts sliced through the air, leaving behind spurts of fresh blood... Without hesitation, he directly ended the lives of the six team mbers, causing the gunfire to cease imdiately, with a loud echo still lingering in the sky.
On the snowy mountain peak, the iron fragnts that were initially tainted with blood swiftly flew back toward Gu Shen’s position!
Without raising his head, he knew that the replica Yuan Yuan had approached. The mont the sound reached his ears, Gu Shen stopped abruptly, suddenly turned around, intercepted with a slash, and the countless iron pieces instantly condensed into a blade!
"Buzz—"
Amid the black snow, iron threads ford by countless blades converged, accompanied by the rapid spread of scarlet blood mist due to the speed.
The two war blades clashed, and evidently, Gu Shen had the upper hand!
Gu Shen’s eyes reflected that familiar face.
At this mont, however, Yuan Yuan’s face was pale, appearing even more ghastly against the black snow.
A crimson line graced his throat.
