Chapter 1884 Infinite Possibilities (4K)
The original ability of the Void Mirror Heart to replicate can only reach 90% of the power of the original. The difference may seem small, but in a battle between top experts, this 10% difference can have a significant impact.
And this "Return to Truth" technique can enhance the power of the replica to an almost perfect level, approaching the original.
This means that as long as the target is within Chen Fei's perception range, he can almost instantly replicate the opponent's most powerful moves, secret techniques, and even the extended characteristics of the Void Treasure, and unleash them with almost the original power!
More importantly, this replication is not static, but can switch targets at any time, like holding a kaleidoscope, reflecting and replicating any force on the battlefield that is worth replicating at will.
This undoubtedly elevates the strategic value of the Void Mirror Heart to a whole new level, giving Chen Fei immense tactical flexibility when facing unknown powerful enemies or complex battle situations.
Chen Fei's gaze swept over the key prompts in the information stream, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
While the "Return to Truth with Myriad Mirrors" technique is powerful, it comes at a considerable cost.
Unlike the Void Mirror Heart, which originally replicated without any cost, the Myriad Mirrors Return to Truth continuously consumes a massive amount of immortal power to maintain this replicated state after successfully replicating a certain power.
This consumption began the moment the replica was completed, even before Chen Fei had used the power he had replicated.
When Chen Fei actually unleashes this replicated power, he will need to pay an additional amount of immortal power required to unleash the power itself.
In other words, using the Myriad Mirrors Return to Truth technique to replicate and unleash a powerful move consumes almost twice, or even more, the immortal power of the original move.
Chen Fei's surprise quickly subsided.
Power and cost are the eternal laws on the path of cultivation.
The ability to almost perfectly replicate an opponent's trump card for one's own use would be illogical without a correspondingly huge cost to balance it out.
While the Immortal Crystal is precious, compared to having an extra trump card in a life-or-death battle that can turn the tide, this price is not unacceptable.
Chen Fei was quite satisfied with the "Return to Truth in Myriad Mirrors" feature. Now he would like to see what the other four extended features were like.
Chen Fei moved to the second ball of light, and with curiosity and anticipation, reached in with his hand.
【Snapshots of Time】
Transcending the boundaries of time and space, we search for, capture, and replicate the forces that once existed in the vast river of history.
The replica's power is consistent with the original characteristics of the Void Mirror Heart, reaching 90% of the original version.
Chen Fei's eyes flashed. This silhouette of time and the journey through the long river were similar in their essence, both being applications of the power of the river of time.
The difference is that "Long River Inn" recreates the environment and creates a historical battlefield or special rule area that is favorable to one's own side.
The Time Silhouette, on the other hand, is a copying power that directly captures specific moves, secret techniques, and even the characteristics of hidden treasures in the void that have shone throughout history, making them available for one's own use.
The Xuanyu Realm has a long history, having experienced countless periods of glory and destruction.
In ancient times, and even further back in history, there must have been many amazing and brilliant martial arts techniques, incredibly powerful secret arts, and even unique power systems displayed during the invasion of extraterrestrial demons.
Some of these powers may have been lost long ago, or buried by the dust of history.
But through these snapshots of time, Chen Fei has the opportunity to traverse the river of time and space, retrieve them from the dust of history, and make them his own!
To replicate the original ability of the Void Mirror Heart, one must encounter an opponent who is currently wielding that power, or stumble upon a projection of its rules within the Void Origin.
Time Silhouette breaks this limitation, opening up a completely new way of replicating based on historical retrospection.
This is tantamount to opening a long-sealed historical treasure trove containing endless possibilities for Chen Fei.
Chen Fei's gaze deepened.
The techniques cultivated by extraterrestrial demons, especially the top-tier demons, as well as the void secrets they master and their extended characteristics, are often quite different from those inherited in the Xuan Yu Realm, containing entirely different rules, concepts, and ways of using power.
These overseas traditions are of great value to Chen Fei.
If we can replicate certain powerful extraterrestrial demonic techniques or characteristics from the long river of history through the lens of time, it will not only enrich Chen Fei's combat methods, but also provide him with valuable lessons from others for integrating and deducing higher-level techniques.
Chen Fei withdrew his hand, quickly weighing the options in his mind.
The strength of "Returning to the True Mirror" lies in its immediacy and precision. It can instantly replicate the opponent's strongest moves in battle, with power almost identical to the original, making it an ultimate tactical weapon.
The strength of Time Silhouette lies in its breadth and historical significance. It can unearth powerful forces that have been lost or never been encountered in the long river of history. Although its power is only 90% of what it once was, it provides infinite possibilities at the strategic level.
Both have their strengths and weaknesses, making it difficult to determine which is better. One pursues "refinement," while the other pursues "quantity."
Chen Fei reached into the third ball of light.
【Mirror Heart Resonance】
When a certain ability is successfully replicated, the power of the Mirror Heart will deeply disassemble and analyze the replicated ability, clearly presenting the core law fragments, energy operation logic, and even the underlying framework of rule construction contained therein.
Chen Fei's eyes flickered slightly.
The effect of this Mirror Heart Resonance is quite similar to the extended characteristic of the Chaos Furnace, Burning Ember Regression, both of which aim to decipher the core secrets of the opponent's power.
The difference is that:
To trace the origins of the burning embers, one must slay the opponent and devour their core essence in order to deeply trace the burning process and obtain their most profound memory fragments.
This is a "post-hoc" interpretation based on "original plunder".
Mirror Heart Resonance allows you to analyze and dissect an opponent's ability without killing them, directly understanding the rules governing that ability and its operational logic.
It's very similar to the Azure Lotus Law Imprint, but the Azure Lotus Law Imprint is more for discerning the opponent's moves, so there are some differences.
Chen Fei already possesses the Burning Embers Tracing Cause and the Azure Lotus Law Imprint. If he were to choose Mirror Heart Resonance, there would indeed be significant overlap in functionality, which would be a waste.
Without the burning trace, the resonance of the mirror heart would be of immense value to Chen Fei in obtaining the secrets of extraterrestrial techniques. Combined with the imprint of the Azure Lotus Law, the opponent's moves or void secrets would truly have few secrets left.
But now that the Burning Embers have been obtained, the strategic value of the Mirror Heart Resonance has been reduced considerably.
Chen Fei moved to the fourth ball of light and reached in.
[Mirror Reflecting All Beings: A Thousand Faces]
With the power of the Void Mirror Heart, it perfectly replicates all external characteristics such as form, appearance, voice, breath fluctuations, energy rhythm, and even subtle behavioral habits and catchphrases.
And simulate some of the target's thinking habits and behavioral logic.
A genuine look of surprise flashed in Chen Fei's eyes.
Replicating power is one thing, replicating a living "being" is quite another.
This mirror reflects all living beings: the myriad faces reveal an extremely high level of understanding and simulation of life forms and the essence of existence.
According to the information, as long as the target's cultivation level is not higher than Chen Fei's, this kind of replication disguise is almost flawless. Even experts of the same level, possessing the Void Treasure or its extended characteristics that specialize in discerning the origin, would find it difficult to detect.
Of course, when facing a stronger opponent whose cultivation level is higher than one's own, the effect of this imitation will be greatly reduced, and it will be easily seen through by the opponent's powerful perception and deep understanding of the rules.
"If we combine this with the tracing of the origins of the burning embers to obtain more crucial information, wouldn't the imitation be even more seamless? At that point, wouldn't we be able to directly imitate the extraterrestrial demons?"
A bold and tempting idea flashed through Chen Fei's mind in an instant.
If Chen Fei could perfectly replicate the form, aura, and even some of the thought patterns of an extraterrestrial demon, would that mean he could infiltrate the demon community?
To gather intelligence, create chaos, and even seize opportunities!
Chen Fei quickly calmed down and assessed the risks.
The idea of infiltrating enemy territory is tempting, but the risks are also terrifyingly high.
Among the extraterrestrial demons, there are countless powerful figures. Once his disguise is exposed, and he finds himself in the heart of the enemy camp, facing an attack from countless powerful enemies, even if Chen Fei possesses extraordinary abilities, he will likely not escape his fate of death.
This is akin to dancing on a knife's edge or snatching chestnuts from a fire.
Chen Fei approached the last ball of light and reached in.
A Pure and Untainted Mind: All Things Return to Dust
By utilizing the "reflecting" nature of the Void Mirror Heart, one can "replicate" an absolutely pure, flawless, and untainted "mirror image" state at the core of one's own soul or origin.
This "mirror image" itself has no power, but it is like an eternal, pure coordinate.
When Chen Fei suffers from negative states such as mental pollution, curses, rule erosion, and even assimilation by the demonic thoughts unique to extraterrestrial demons, this pure mirror image will automatically become a reference.
The power of the mirror will use this pure mirror image as an anchor point, like brushing away dust from a mirror, to quickly remove invading negative statuses, or greatly weaken the influence and duration of these negative statuses.
This is a defensive extension feature. With this "All Laws Return to Dust" ability, most attacks targeting the soul will be weakened.
Chen Fei's gaze swept over the five orbs of light, and he began the final selection.
First, rule out resonance between the mirror and the center of the image.
The reason is simple: its core function overlaps significantly with Chen Fei's existing Chaos Furnace Extension Feature: Burnout and Cause Tracing.
Although Mirror Heart Resonance has its unique advantage of instant analysis, there is also the Azure Lotus Law Imprint. Choosing Mirror Heart Resonance again cannot maximize the value of the Void Treasure Extension feature, so the cost-effectiveness is not high.
Then, Chen Fei's gaze fell on [Mirror Heart Unstained: All Laws Return to Dust], and he shook his head slightly.
This defensive feature is indeed powerful, especially against negative effects on the soul level.
However, Chen Fei's current defense system is already quite complete. Various Void Treasures and their extended characteristics have been superimposed with defensive states. In addition, he has the Great Perfection of Dao Crystal Heavenly Seal Forging Divine Technique and Heavenly Cause Universe Record Great Perfection. He does not lack a separate soul defense.
Most importantly, the immortal essence contained within the Immortal Crystal can quickly repair injuries and dispel most negative status effects.
Chen Fei's gaze shifted to [Time Silhouette].
The ability to replicate lost powers from the long river of history, especially the power of extraterrestrial demons, is extremely tempting.
But Chen Fei ultimately ruled it out.
The reason is that Chen Fei has more than one way to obtain the secrets of the extraterrestrial demonic techniques than just [Time Silhouette].
His Chaos Furnace extension feature, [Ember Tracing Back], allows him to trace and obtain fragments of the core cultivation techniques of extraterrestrial demons by slaying them and devouring their origins.
After elimination, only two options remained: 【Returning to Truth in a Myriad of Mirrors】 and 【Mirror Reflecting All Beings: A Thousand Faces】.
Chen Fei's gaze shifted between the two, and he was caught in a brief moment of weighing the options.
【Return to Truth】 can provide near-perfect real-time combat power replication, and its role in battle is beyond doubt.
【Mirror Reflection】 provides unparalleled camouflage and infiltration capabilities, opening up entirely new tactical approaches.
A moment later, Chen Fei's gaze gradually focused on [Mirror Reflecting All Beings: A Thousand Faces].
Even without choosing [Return to Truth], after refining and extending its characteristics, the Void Mirror Heart's ability to replicate the original version at the Immortal Realm level has reached 90% of its original power, which is already a very powerful boost.
The ability of [Mirror Reflection: A Thousand Faces], which allows one to perfectly disguise oneself as any being of the same or lower rank, is a revolutionary strategic capability.
It not only signifies the possibility of infiltration and espionage, but also represents that Chen Fei will have countless new identities and faces in future operations.
In Chen Fei's view, the value of this infinite strategic potential surpasses the "near-perfect" real-time combat power replication brought about by [Return to Truth].
Without further hesitation, Chen Fei's illusory soul grasped the radiance containing the profound mystery of "Mirror Reflecting All Beings: A Thousand Faces," turned into a streak of light, and sped away along the passage of rules he had come from.
Deep within the void of the Guixu Realm, Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes. Within his soul, the profound ball of light representing [Mirror Reflecting All Beings: A Thousand Faces] floated silently.
"simplify!"
"Mirror Reflection of All Beings in Simplification... Simplification Successful... Mirror Reflection of All Beings → Void Mirror Heart!"
The vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the Time Pavilion enveloped the surroundings. As Chen Fei activated the Void Mirror Heart, a massive amount of insights about life form simulation, perfect replication of aura, mapping of behavioral logic, and simulation of thinking habits surged into his sea of consciousness like a burst dam, and were quickly absorbed and refined by Chen Fei.
Time flew by rapidly under the acceleration of the Time Pavilion.
Within the Realm of Return to Nothingness, above the sky, the flowing starry river seemed to transform into countless enormous, perfectly smooth mirrors, reflecting each other and refracting billions of phantom images of different shapes and distinct auras.
On the earth, amidst the swaying grass and trees, the outlines of birds and beasts, or even blurry human figures, occasionally appear and disappear in an instant.
The entire Guixu Realm seemed to have become a giant kaleidoscope, reflecting the forms of all things in the world.
Strange phenomena appeared one after another, but eventually subsided, and the Realm of Return to Peace returned to normal.
Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes and looked at the panel.
【Hidden Treasures of the Void: The Mirror of the Void - Reflecting All Beings (Breaking Limits)】
After the Mirror Reflects All Beings breaks through its limits, the consumption of immortal power and divine soul in the disguise state is greatly reduced, allowing it to maintain the disguise state almost indefinitely.
Chen Fei opened his eyes, his mind stirred slightly, and the reflection of all living beings in the mirror was aroused.
"Buzz!"
A mysterious and unpredictable fluctuation emanated from Chen Fei's body.
Chen Fei clearly sensed that, in addition to the original replicated power characteristics, the Void Mirror Heart at this moment seemed to have an invisible thousand-faced mirror deep within its core.
The Thousand Faces Mirror was currently dormant, but Chen Fei could sense that as long as he selected a target, he could use the Thousand Faces Mirror as a medium to perfectly replicate and simulate its external form, aura, and even some of its behavioral and thought habits.
This kind of replication and simulation is no longer a simple illusion or trick, but a near-essential mapping from life forms and energy fluctuations to subtle habits, enough to fool the eye.
Moreover, this Thousand Faces Mirror can store information on a thousand targets, allowing Chen Fei to simulate them at will.
