The more she observed, the more questions Acheron had.
How could such a similar existence appear in this world?
Even an individual identical to oneself from a different world,
would exhibit many differences due to different experiences.
In the end, they might share nothing in common besides appearance and name.
But this person was different.
Forget differences.
Acheron herself stood here, staring for a long time.
She couldn't point out a single thing wrong with the other person.
It felt as though the person fighting was the real her, and she was the imposter.
It was so absurd it was almost funny.
To be able to mimic to this extent truly left Acheron speechless.
Just then,
her panel suddenly jumped:
[Character Impersonation System]
[Name: Baiming (Acheron)]
[Lifespan: 01:23:59:53 (Paused) + 24 Days (Character Impersonation)]
[Available Transformation Characters: Great Herta (Recharge: 6.1%), Acheron]
[Available Draw Count: 0 (55.6%)]
This magnitude of jump startled 'Acheron'.
She instinctively shifted her gaze, moving it away from Jingliu, and glanced in the direction of the real Acheron.
A look of surprise then appeared in her eyes.
Wait a minute...
Why did the original suddenly show up?
When did she arrive, and why didn't she make a sound?
If her panel hadn't jumped again,
'Acheron' wouldn't have even noticed the real Acheron, who was hidden under the aura of Nihility, concealed to the point of being almost traceless.
But she quickly realized that the real Acheron didn't seem to have any intention of showing herself yet.
She wondered if General Teng Xiao had noticed.
Probably not.
Otherwise, he would definitely go over to investigate.
But since the real Acheron didn't intend to show herself, 'Acheron' had no intention of stopping.
She would learn the Xianzhou's swordsmanship first.
...
The sparring with Jingliu lasted for half a system day.
Jingliu only stopped swinging her blade when she was close to exhaustion, and then she stood next to Baiheng.
They stepped aside for what 'Acheron' was going to do next.
And in these ten-plus system hours,
the real Acheron remained hidden in the shadows, showing no intention of revealing herself.
She had no idea what the original was thinking.
And with Teng Xiao still here, it wasn't a good idea to just rush over and pull the original out.
Forget it, forget it.
'Acheron' sighed inwardly.
After resting briefly on the spot,
she turned and signaled to Teng Xiao.
"Thank you for your service, Madam Acheron."
"It's nothing."
'Acheron' responded.
She then looked toward the sickly Ambrosial Arbor in the distance.
Her right hand rested on the hilt of her blade.
Clang—!
The blade was barely drawn an inch.
A clear sword hum shot up into the sky.
A burst of deathly stillness surged upward.
This startled the real Acheron as well.
What is she doing??
From such a long distance, the real Acheron had no time to intervene.
She could only watch helplessly as the person impersonating her
drew her long blade.
The colors on her body began to fade, leaving only the blood-red eyes reflecting the desolate world.
'Acheron' glanced up toward the original's location.
Then, she flashed and moved to the high sky.
She slashed out!
Boom—!!!
The dazzling blade light, carrying an aura that felt like it would cleave the entire Luofu in half, dropped fiercely.
Accompanied by an ear-piercing and intense roar and vibration, the incredibly sturdy Ambrosial Arbor began to be torn apart bit by bit by the blade light.
The entire Xianzhou Luofu began to tremble because of this one slash.
Innumerable Xianzhou people stopped what they were doing.
They looked up, awestruck at the feat of one person cleaving the Ambrosial Arbor.
Among them, the Vidyadhara people,
watched the Arbor being severed by human power, their feelings becoming particularly complex.
Especially the Vidyadhara Dragon Elders.
They gathered together, standing in the Alchemy Commission's Divine Realm, looking at the gradually being torn apart.
Their thoughts varied.
The Ambrosial Arbor, which required the Vidyadhara to use their crucial ancestral grounds to suppress,
was severed by a single slash from one woman.
Moreover, since it was cleaved,
why didn't she completely uproot it and utterly destroy the Arbor?
Why did she instead insist on having the Vidyadhara continue to use their sacred land to suppress the Arbor's root system!?
Why?
With that woman's strength, she could have completely annihilated the Arbor without even needing to enter the Scalegorge Waterscape!
Even 'Acheron' hadn't anticipated this.
The act of slaying Shuhu and saving Dan Feng that day had actually earned her high favorability among the Dragon Elders.
Some Dragon Elders even believed that 'Acheron's blade could annihilate all things!
So much so that...
After seeing 'Acheron' cleave the Arbor today but not destroy its roots,
their resentment toward the Xianzhou grew even stronger.
In their view, how could 'Acheron,' an outsider, possibly understand the complexities of the Luofu?
It must have been a decision made by the Xianzhou Alliance that prevented 'Acheron' from eradicating the Arbor.
Following this, they felt a pang of sadness.
If the Vidyadhara could give birth to descendants normally,
why would they have to be so dependent on others?
Looking at the Arbor about to be cleaved, they felt a strange mix of emotions.
...
Boom boom boom boom—!!!
Regardless of the Dragon Elders' thoughts,
the collapse of the Ambrosial Arbor continued.
The impact of that slash was still spreading,
The cracks on the Arbor grew larger and deeper.
Until a certain moment, the gigantic rift finally made it impossible for the Arbor to remain upright.
And so, accompanied by an extremely clear roar of the Arbor snapping,
the massive Ambrosial Arbor began to fall.
Rumble!!!
The sheer natural collapse of the huge Ambrosial Arbor would generate a roar and shockwave like a gigantic tide.
Just as countless Xianzhou people watched in horror as the Arbor was about to crash down onto the Luofu,
another blade light suddenly flared up!
This time,
that familiar feeling of palpitation returned, accompanied by the descending gray-white world.
However, the long blade that annihilated Shuhu last time,
was aimed at the Luofu's Ambrosial Arbor this time.
Boom—!!!
The collapsing Arbor was forcibly cleaved and sent flying by this one slash, hurling toward the sky.
Even in the gray-white world, where sound was utterly devoured,
everyone still felt as though they heard the roar of the blade light colliding with the Arbor.
The Arbor, which was originally plummeting toward the Luofu, was violently launched upward by that slash.
At the same time, the power of Nihility, held back no longer, began to spread along the blade light, covering the severed Ambrosial Arbor.
Before anyone else could react,
yet another blade light shot up into the sky!
Boom!!!
This time,
the blade light, even more terrifying in its might, slammed fiercely into the Arbor.
It utterly blasted the Arbor out of the Xianzhou Luofu's range and, carrying its residual power, sent it completely beyond the Luofu's gravitational grasp.
It fell into the vacuum of space.
'Acheron' saw this and immediately flashed out of the Luofu.
But she did not immediately follow up with a fourth slash.
Instead, she landed on the un-eroded branch of the Ambrosial Arbor, looking at the real Acheron, who had also seized the opportunity to land on the branch.
Looking at the 'imitator' with white hair and streaks of bloody tears falling from her eyes.
Even though her rational mind clearly told her that the person was merely an imitator,
and not someone who had shared the same experiences as her.
Yet, when Acheron personally saw this desaturated appearance,
she still felt a genuine sense of sorrow.
She had to make this imitator understand.
The power of Nihility should not be played with!
And so...
Clang—!
A clear sword hum rang out.
The real Acheron drew her personal blade.
