Divine Replication System

Well then, let's die together!"    

Sun Yan let out an arrogant laugh.    

Charged with unparalleled might, he lunged at Lin Xuan.    

Ideally, all five of them would be taken care of.    

On the other side, Lin Xuan remained composed, watching the scene unfold with a hint of interest.    

"Is this the might of a peak Emperor Level self-destruction?"    

Lin Xuan's gaze sharpened, yet there was no sign of panic or fear.    

Since ascending to the Emperor Level, numerous peak Emperor Level adversaries had battled and fallen by his hand.    

Yet none had ever truly chosen to self-destruct.    

Self-destruction is a desperate move that unleashes all of one's energy in a single, irreversible strike.    

Thus, its power greatly surpasses the martial artist's own cultivation level, often by several fold.    

If one were to be caught in its proximity, it wouldn't matter if they were of the same level or even higher; it would be difficult to endure.    

But such an act, once initiated, cannot be undone.    

Only those with a significantly higher cultivation level might have a chance to stop it.    

And the self-destruction of a peak Emperor Level is something not even a Half-level Emperor could prevent.    

It's an act of certain death.    

A peak Emperor Level, whether on the Central Essence Continent or the Dongyuan Continent, is among the elite.    

To reach such a level is to have endured countless trials and tribulations, to hold a revered status, to enjoy endless benefits and resources.    

Naturally, it is almost inconceivable for one to choose self-destruction.    

Only in the face of utter defeat, with the desire to take an enemy with them, would such a choice be made.    

As long as there's the slightest chance for survival, a warrior would not resort to this extreme measure.    

It's exceedingly rare.    

Therefore, with Lin Xuan's extensive combat experience, he had never witnessed it before.    

During his time with the Devil Cloud Sect, Lin Xuan was determined to eradicate the sect.    

Devil Ying and the other peak Emperor Level practitioners had not resorted to self-destruction.    

At that time, Lin Xuan had refrained from striking them down.    

Perhaps they harbored a glimmer of hope, or maybe they simply ran out of time.    

Shortly thereafter, Tian launched his attack.    

His speed was astonishing; before his adversaries could even consider self-destructing, they were swiftly dealt with.    

Today's scenario unfolded similarly.    

It was unclear whether the pressure from Wei Zhengzhen and his group was too intense, or if the mass slaughter of Sun Yan's disciples by the warriors below was too severe.    

Facing certain death, Sun Yan ultimately chose to self-destruct.    

He counted on the explosive force, which greatly surpassed his own cultivation level, in a desperate attempt to take Lin Xuan down with him.    

Regrettably, the destructive power, although many times stronger than his peak cultivation on a normal day, was not as immense as Sun Yan had hoped.    

It was insufficient to bridge the vast divide between the peak of the Emperor Level and the Half-level Emperor.    

Otherwise, on the Central Essence Continent, the esteemed status of the Half-level Emperor would not be so exalted, nor would they serve as regional overlords.    

While the peak of the Emperor Level on the Central Essence Continent is second only to the Half-level Emperor experts,    

it is more easily attained due to the higher concentration of spiritual energy, and the abundance of heavenly treasures.    

The number of peak Emperor Level individuals far exceeds that of Half-level Emperor experts by more than tenfold.    

Not just the ruling forces of the two halls, three mountains, and four sects, but many top-tier powers boast more than a few peak Emperor Level figures.    

Take the Million Treasure Pavilion, for example.    

It is incomparable to the six major forces of the Dongyuan Continent.    

If the peak Emperor Level could truly pose a threat to Half-level Emperor experts, then Overlord Level Forces would cease to exist.    

These top-tier powers would be able to challenge the Half-level Emperor experts by sacrificing a few peak Emperor Level individuals through self-detonation.    

This would enable them to secure significant status and resources.    

As a result, the disparities between the various powers would not be so pronounced.    

The highly esteemed Overlord Level Forces would no longer dominate.    

The current power structure of the Central Essence Continent, with its two halls, three mountains, and four major families, would not be possible.    

Experts at the Half-level Emperor Level, while appearing to remain within the Martial Monarch Stage, achieve their prowess through the profound refinement of their bodies, Pill Essence, and divine sense.    

They had undergone a complete transformation, emerging as entirely different beings. Their strength, the might of their Pill Essence, and their mastery over the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth were now beyond comparison. Though still not on par with the true Emperor Level experts, they far surpassed those at the peak of the Emperor Level, regarding them as no more than ants.    

Lin Xuan, not yet a Half-level Emperor, had leveraged his Supreme Level talent, the Body Refining Divine Art, and the Thunderbolt Divine Body, among other enhancements. Even without the baptism of profound mysteries, he was scarcely less powerful. Engaging in battle for a period was not out of the question. Naturally, he was leagues beyond what any at the peak of the Emperor Level could hope to match.    

To Lin Xuan, those at the peak of the Emperor Level were as ants beneath his feet, easily crushed. An ant, no matter how many times its strength is multiplied, remains an ant, incapable of a significant qualitative change or of posing a threat to him.    

Lin Xuan watched with mild interest and curiosity as Sun Yan, on the brink of self-destruction, continued to swell with power. Yet, even he could not interrupt or forcibly reverse the impending explosion to save Sun Yan's life. The power was too wild, chaotic, and uncontrollable. Lin Xuan estimated that only a true Emperor Level powerhouse might manage such a feat.    

Of course, while he couldn't prevent the explosion, ensuring his own safety and preventing any threat to himself was not challenging. Sun Yan was akin to a ticking bomb, ready to detonate at any moment. All Lin Xuan had to do was cast it aside. Even if it exploded in close proximity, it would not harm Lin Xuan, who had attained the Half-level Emperor physique. It would, however, be a considerable nuisance.    

Lin Xuan had no intention of allowing it to come near. His aura burst forth suddenly, creating an invisible shockwave that radiated outwards. Among those charging at Lin Xuan, Wei Zhengzhen, Cang Shuiyue, and others were already fleeing for their lives with every ounce of their strength. In such a dire situation, hesitating meant death, so they spared no effort. Yet, they were still swept aside by the invisible force, helplessly pushed away.    

Sun Yan's form was momentarily halted by the force of the impact.    

"Truly, only a legendary Half-level Emperor could exert such overwhelming power. Even at my peak, I would struggle to withstand such a surge!"    

Sun Yan's face hardened, but then he burst into laughter.    

"Hahaha, but now things have changed. You think this meager force can stop me?    

Die! Let's all die together! Taking a Half-level Emperor down with me means I haven't lost at all!"    

The invisible shockwave, like an unending series of ripples, continued to assault him.    

Yet, it barely affected Sun Yan, whose power had significantly increased.    

In that instant, Sun Yan abandoned his pursuit of Wei Zhengzhen, Cang Shuiyue, and the others.    

He set his sights on Lin Xuan instead.    

After all, Lin Xuan was the true instigator of this calamity.    

Without Lin Xuan, he would never have found himself in such a dire, life-threatening predicament.    

On the Dongyuan Continent, no one had ever pushed him this far.    

Not even the Devil Cloud Sect could manage that.    

But Lin Xuan's arrival had plunged him into the depths of despair.    

His loathing for Lin Xuan was as profound and endless as the torrential river.    

"You're seeking your own demise!"    

Lin Xuan's icy voice rang out.
