The mountains in this place extended endlessly and towered high up into heaven. On the mountains, all the lush grass and big trees looked murky and quite gloomy.
The ground was rather black and swampy, covered by an intense bloody smell.
The situation here looked very similar to the Ghost Mountains in the Realm of Wildness.
The only difference was that the killing aura taking over the place was a few times stronger than that in the Ghost Mountains.
There were no hidden arrays in this place. A black tower stood high and right in the middle of the mountains, looking ancient and shifty.
The place was as silent as death, as if the killing aura had taken it over a long time ago, and nothing here had changed ever since then.
However, at a certain moment, the black tower shook a little. A little white later, two rays of light came out of it.
Deep inside the tower, a figure—which had remained still for a long time—slowly opened its eyes, as if it were a piece of fossil coming back life. His eyes weren't really glaring, but they looked sharp enough to see though time.
"This is the very first time that my clone has been so completely killed. I wonder who had the power to have done that." The black figure spoke calmly to himself.
"But, it is my estimation that our paths will cross soon enough."
And then he stopped moving, and the entire black tower receded back into peace. The earthquake he had caused was over.
The blood essence that the Shadow King had turned into was wrapped by chaotic fire runes after Ricky put it into the Chaotic Fire Zone. Quickly, the drop of blood essence then turned into many mini-sized black human figures.
Then, those figures kept transforming in his zone. And, every time they transformed, new message would be conveyed into Ricky's mind.
'That...that's the cultivation method called the Shadowy Emperor Replication!' Ricky almost couldn't believe what he had read in there. His pupils contracted out of extreme shock. He tried to compose himself.
'The Shadowy Emperor Replication! The cultivation method belongs to the Endless Shadow!
That's very confusing. Why would the cultivating method of the Shadowy Emperor Replication be contained in the Shadow King's blood essence?
It's been recorded in the history books of the Oriental College that all the cultivation methods named after "sage" are at least at the advanced stage of the Earth Level, or possibly at the inferior stage of Heaven Level; as for those named after "emperor," they are at least at the Heaven Level.
That's to say, I've got another cultivation method at the intermediate of Heaven Level!' Ricky thought to himself excitedly, as he made sense of all that.
Every time a cultivation method of Heaven Level showed up, warriors would fight for it like crazy. It was insane.
It would most definitely lead to horrific bloody wars.
'That's a great reward for killing the Shadow King. If I succeed in cultivating the method, it can be another trump card of mine. I must therefore succeed, there's no room for failure, ' Ricky thought to himself eagerly, psyching himself to not fail.
However, at the same time, Pearl's opinion seemed to have been right. The Shadow King must have something to do with a demi-sage, or even a sage. Ricky felt even more worried thinking about that.
However, that was too much for him to be concerned with at the moment.
The most important thing for him right now was to figure out the way to cultivate the Shadowy Emperor Replication.
