"Is this the lower realm?"

"The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is indeed much weaker compared to the Desolate Celestial Realm, but not as bad as I thought."

"Let's first find Chen Lan and take his head back."

More than ten mysterious figures in black robes descended onto Blue Star, their target was Chen Lan.

"No need to search."

At that moment, a voice sounded, startling the dozen or so people, causing them to turn their heads toward the sound.

They saw Chen Lan standing with his hands behind his back, looking at them calmly, somewhat puzzled.

These people included only two Daoist Venerables, the others were Great Emperors. Why did such weaklings come this time?

But the "Ye" character on their chest attire caught his attention. Are they from the Ye Family?

"Are you Chen Lan?" The leader of the black-robed figures spoke coldly, shocked upon sensing Chen Lan's aura: "Be careful, he's a Daoist Venerable."

The others were taken aback, retreating several steps, cautiously watching Chen Lan.

Unexpectedly, a Daoist Venerable could be born in the lower realm, how peculiar.

"Are you from the Ye Family?" Chen Lan asked casually.

"We are fifteen Shadow Warriors of the Ye Family, ordered to take your life. If you're afraid, surrender quietly, and it'll be painless." The leader spoke coldly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan's figure instantly disappeared, terrifying the group, causing them to retreat hastily.

"Everyone, spread out, be cautious of the surroundings, he's fast!"

To avoid being captured all at once, spreading out is the safest, allowing everyone to observe each other.

Everyone watched the surroundings, their vigilance pushed to the extreme, not daring to be careless.

Boom!

Suddenly, the clear sky inexplicably echoed with the thunderous roar of Cang Lei, a profoundly terrifying aura appeared around the speaking black-robed figure, a fist rushed toward his face like thunder.

At this distance, the man was doomed, but as the fist touched his head, he automatically turned into a shadow, swallowing the fist, neutralizing all power.

"Shadow Path? Interesting, it seems physical attacks are ineffective against you."

Chen Lan reappeared, looking at the shadowed black-robed figure with interest. This path intrigued him; perhaps he could absorb them, transforming them into Dao rhymes.

"Kill him!" The black-robed figure shifted back to human form, speaking coldly, his right hand turning into countless black ropes flying towards Chen Lan.

Meanwhile, the other black-robed figures charged in, their hands transforming into various weapons, swords or spears, broad knives and axes, poised to besiege Chen Lan.

Chen Lan smiled faintly, a scroll flew out from his sleeve, unfolding in the sky, it was the World Map.

In an instant, the World Map generated a powerful suction, attempting to draw in all the black-robed figures.

"No, it's the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the World Map, quickly dive into his shadow!" The black-robed figure exclaimed in shock.

This World Map was tough to handle; if sucked inside, they'd be helpless sheep at Chen Lan's mercy.

With the command, each black-robed figure turned into shadows, diving into Chen Lan's shadow.

Seeing this, Chen Lan slightly frowned, looking at his shadow without discerning anything.

But the next second, the shadow began to wriggle; he realized his Spiritual Qi was being slowly absorbed, along with his stamina, feeling drowsy!

These shadows could absorb the Spiritual Qi and energy of the shadow's owner from within the shadow; truly a peculiar path.

If this continued, he'd definitely be drained dry of his Spiritual Qi, making him ripe for slaughter.

"Hahaha, Chen Lan, let's see what you can do with us now." The shadow emitted a sinister laugh.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan merely smiled; the best way to deal with shadows is with light, as they belong to the dark, but he had another method.

Snap!

Chen Lan snapped his fingers lightly, laughing softly: "Transform, I have no shadow."

A utilizing transformation path to modify himself to have no shadow, isn't that feasible?

As soon as the words fell, his shadow vanished instantly, and the fifteen shadow warriors flew out like cannonballs.

"You actually use the transformation path, modified your shadow." The black-robed figure looked at Chen Lan in astonishment.

This move he had never thought of, knowing the shadow path belonged to a ridiculously powerful path, especially at its pinnacle; light was useless. They no longer feared light, still could ensure the presence of shadows even in bright areas, lurking within to absorb others' Spiritual Qi and energy.

But now, Chen Lan directly modified himself not to have a shadow, it was unresolvable.

"There's much I can do, but I'm in no hurry to kill you. I have a lot to understand." Chen Lan spoke coldly, appearing once again before the black-robed figure.

In an instant, numerous black-robed figures retreated, their forms slowly transforming, all turning into Chen Lan's likeness.

Seeing fifteen versions of himself, Chen Lan furrowed his brows, what new trick was this?

"Kill him!"

Fifteen "Chen Lan" attacked simultaneously, and the moves they used were exactly like those Chen Lan had used!

Not only that, they could conjure Thunderbolt Divine Spear, Immortal Suppression Tower, World Map, all the Divine Techniques and Spirit Techniques Chen Lan used, it was essentially copy-pasting.

Seeing this, Chen Lan longed even more for the shadow path. This path was truly heaven-defying; with such a short time, they could basically grasp his information, although the power seemed slightly weaker than his, operating at five to six percent was already quite impressive.

Looking at so many versions of himself charging forward, Chen Lan wanted to laugh, but he still flicked his fingers instantly, shouting softly: "Retreat!"

The force of numerous paths erupted together, the innate overbearing Chaos Qi burst forth, instantly repelling the fifteen "Chen Lan."

In a flash, they flew out, returning to their original forms, their aura waning instantly.

"Your strength far surpasses a Daoist Venerable!" The black-robed figure exclaimed in terror.

If only they had investigated properly before coming down, thinking fifteen people could easily kill one lower realm scum.

Little did they know this lower realm scum was a Daoist Venerable with extraordinary power, nearing Taoist Saint level, now they're doomed.

"Looks like we have no choice but to use that move." Another black-robed figure spoke solemnly.

Their shadow warriors still had one Divine Technique, becoming one entity, completely transforming into a shadow, greatly enhancing their power but unable to unmerge thereafter, usually only used in life-and-death situations, forced by necessity.

They had never used it, but without doing so now, they'd surely die.

"Alright, let's use it."

The other black-robed figures nodded one by one, their determined gazes carried a sense of facing death unflinchingly.

Seeing this, Chen Lan felt speechless; since when did these little fry start engaging in such tragic farewells?

But he was curious to see how strong the shadow path's Divine Technique truly was.
