　　It was a complete coincidence that Li Yiming somehow managed to learn Wu Yun's signature move from the item left meant as an enduring challenge, but very fortunate in that it worked particularly well against spirits.

　　As Li Yiming's strike pa.s.sed through his clone's body, the latter could do nothing but stand still, frozen in shock. Along with the bitter expression on his face and his hatred that had acc.u.mulated for a thousand years, he slowly turned to dust.

　　Li Yiming stared forward vacantly as his large weapon shapes.h.i.+fted back into a thin, silver staff, standing in sharp contrast with the crimson one left behind by his clone. As he vanished from the s.p.a.ce within the staff, where he confronted the clone and reappeared in the ruins of Shangbei, his staff liquefied before turning into a golden emblem on his wrist.

　　Li Yiming closed his eyes and stood still for many days, focusing on absorbing the strength he gained from eliminating his clone. During his concentrated state of mind, he did not notice that the city around had been engulfed by a cloud of thick, black smog that confluenced around him.

　　"What?" Bai Ze's suddenly began trembling uncontrollably.

　　"What… That's impossible!" Tian Yan's expression sank as she could see Bai Ze's fate slowly vanis.h.i.+ng.

　　"Are you okay? I… I can't see your fate anymore!" Tian Yan said fearfully. She tried to reach out and help Bai Ze but hesitated as she did not want to act too rashly.

　　Fang Shui'er suddenly shot up into the sky with an iridescent light trailing behind her.

　　"Her too!?" Tian Yan turned around and saw that Fang Shui'er fate as well was slowly disappearing.

　　Beam after beam of light lifted off toward the sky, with one of them being Li Huaibei, who landed right next to the two.

　　"What happened?" Li Huaibei asked as he stared at Bai Ze.

　　"I don't know…" Tian Yan could not shake away her worries knowing that losing one's fate could only lead to death.

　　"What!?" Li Huaibei looked at the closing black mist in the distance. 'Is this the work of the Realm of Ghosts?'

　　"Don't worry little girl. I'm not about to die. You can't see my fate anymore, that's all..." Bai Ze suddenly stopped trembling and said excitedly.
