Nine stars appeared in Tong Ruobing's eyes as she used one of her unique talismans–the Star God Talisman. The origin of the talisman is from studying the body of her Dao Companion–Mu Lei.
Tong Ruobing was not a body refining. Although her fleshly body was excellent compared to ordinary cultivators due to the runes, it was still not on par with true body refiners, let alone True Power Dao cultivators.
As such, she created this special talisman to increase her physical prowess–including defense, stamina, and regeneration–when needed for battle.
Regardless, after destroying Chen Chen's body for the third time, Tong Ruobing was not happy as she knew things were not so simple. And as expected, another crack appeared with another Chen Chen.
Tong Ruobing swiftly flicked her fingers to create a sword slash that left a mark on Chen Chen's body. Then, in less than a second, the wound naturally healed.
'The Duyu Realm is useless against him,' she analyzed as she sensed how fast and easily Chen Chen healed from her attack. 'The main reason seems to be that he can replace his injured body parts with already created replacements.'
Tong Ruobing frowned as she felt Chen Chen's method of fighting was too expensive. How many other parts did he have, and why were they all Immortal Tier?
'Has his refining achievement reached the stage where he could easily create Immortal Weapons?'
Based on the given fact, this was the most logical conclusion. However, Tong Ruobing had a hard time believing this fact. She knew how hard it was for mortals to refine any Immortal-related products. This fact was true for her and someone like Yan Liling.
'No, something else is at play,' she thought. 'Chen Chen disappeared before the clean-up, so this should be the time he received his fortunate encounter.
'From that time to now, only about 200,000 years have passed. So, even if he used time dilation, it was impossible for him to refine so many Immortal Weapons.'
Tong Ruobing knew that Immortal Venerables could not easily create Immortal Products for many reasons. The first one is that it took time to refine these things. The second reason is that they need to use a lot of Immortal Qi in the process.
A few talented Immortal Venerables can resonate with the Source Qi Space and use the Immortal Qi from there. But even then, their refining speed would not allow them to refine as many items as Chen Chen.
'If I want to find the truth, I must focus on discovering Chen Chen's ability.'
Tong Ruobing waved her hand to use a [Super Gravity Talisman] to crush Chen Chen's new body. Then, she focused on the space crack that sent his body.
She swiftly used her Divine Sense to detect the spatial energy released, trying to detect where this space was connected. Unfortunately, a mysterious power bounced her Divine Sense.
Furthermore, her actions seemed to have activated something. The surroundings changed as thousands of space cracks appeared, followed by millions of Chen Chen.
Tong Ruobing's face changed before calming down. She sensed that only a few hundred Chen Chen had the aura of Immortal Venerable, and the highest was still 4-Leaf, while the rest were between 1 to 3 Leaf. Meanwhile, most of the Chen Chens were peak Quasi-Emperors.
"Thunder-Sword Rain Array." said all the Chen Chens in a strange harmony. Then, they raised their hand to each manifest seven swords. All the Immortal Venerable Chen Chen had Immortal Artifacts, and Tong Ruobing noticed these artifacts were on par with 6-Leaf.
The swords then formed an array that showered Tong Ruobing with countless mighty thunder swords.
'Damn it,' thought Tong Ruobing as she watched the sky covered by powerful thunder and lightning swords. Her analysis of Chen Chen was that he was a lightweight and only relied on the weirdness of his body. But now, she realized he had means on par with her 7-Leaf strength.
'The previous conversation affected my state of mind.' She realized Chen Chen's accusations affected her on a subtle level. She was angered and thus decided to defeat him effortlessly to show the difference between the two.
However, such a mindset made her underestimate her opponent and become careless. So, Tong Ruobing reigned in her mind and entered a state of focus. Now, she only had one job–to destroy her opponent by all means.
[Elemental Immunity Talisman]
Tong Ruobing placed a talisman on her forehead. Then, with her current fleshly body on par with Mu Lei, she rushed into Chen Chen's group, intending to annihilate them one by one.
Her slim and petite body blocked all the swords and thunder, rushing forward with unparalleled momentum.
The armies of Chen Chen then suddenly changed tactics. Their Sword Array no longer released thunder attacks but focused on the sword's sharpness. This method rendered Tong Ruobing's elemental immunity useless.
Tong Ruobing followed them and blessed her with a [Physical Damage Immunity Talisman]. However, Chen Chen's group would respond by changing their mode of attack; their way of fighting was as versatile as hers.
Unfortunately for Chen Chen, Tong Ruobing's current state was the embodiment of what made body refiners terrifying–they were unkillable. No matter the obstacles or power thrown at them, their flesh can block it.
