In a world where power reigns supreme, Shen Ziyan was an ordinary cultivator doomed to mediocrity—until he awakened the Infinite Clone System, granting him the ability to create unlimited clones with independent will. From harvesting rare resources to cultivating forbidden techniques, his clones accelerate his growth at a terrifying speed.

When the arrogant Heavenly Sword Sect crushes his family, Shen Ziyan vows vengeance. With millions of clones under his command, he begins his rise from the shadows—toppling sects, stealing their secrets, and absorbing the cultivation of fallen enemies.

As his empire expands and the Five Great Sects tremble, a greater truth emerges—this world is only the beginning. With each conquered realm, his power edges closer to the ultimate goal: Ascending to Clone God, a being capable of creating clones that can defy even the laws of the heavens.

But as the clone army grows, ancient forces stir, and mysterious enemies from beyond the celestial planes begin to take notice.

With infinite clones and unmatched ambition, can Shen Ziyan conquer the heavens—or will he become a shadow that even the gods fear?

A tale of endless armies, ruthless ambition, and a cultivator who refuses to bow to fate.

Infinite Shadows: Rise of the Clone Emperor

Chapter 9: The Iron Mountain Falls

The night sky above Iron Mountain Sect burned crimson as Shen Ziyan's Clone Legion swept through the valley like an unstoppable tide. Screams echoed in the air, cut short by the cold efficiency of his War General Clone—an unyielding force born for battle.

The sect's outer defenses crumbled within hours. The once-mighty stronghold that had stood for centuries was falling to a man who didn't even lift his own sword.

[System Update: Conquest Progress]

Iron Mountain Sect – 90% Subjugated

Casualties: 570 Disciples Neutralized

Remaining Threat: Sect Master Huo Yan (Foundation Establishment – Peak Stage)]

At the heart of the chaos, a thunderous explosion rocked the mountain as Huo Yan, the Iron Mountain Sect Master, erupted from his cultivation chamber. His body blazed with fiery spiritual energy, and his furious voice echoed across the battlefield.

The remaining disciples rallied around their leader, hope flaring in their eyes. Surely, their Foundation Establishment Peak Stage Sect Master could stop the invasion.

A ripple tore through the air as Shen Ziyan descended from the sky, his black robes billowing behind him. His aura—now far beyond that of a mere Qi Condensation cultivator—radiated the terrifying presence of a man who had consumed countless enemies.

With a thought, ten thousand clones materialized behind him, their identical faces cold and expressionless.

Huo Yan's eyes narrowed as he scanned the endless army. "You… what kind of demonic technique is this?!"

Shen Ziyan smiled faintly. "It's not something a dying man needs to understand."

[System Command: Activate Clone Fusion – War Emperor Form]

The air trembled as 1,000 Elite Combat Clones merged into a towering figure of black and crimson armor. The War Emperor Clone stepped forward, its presence alone shaking the mountain's foundation.

Without a word, it raised its colossal blade and brought it crashing down.

Huo Yan roared, releasing his Flame Dragon Art, a blazing serpent of fire coiling around his body as he clashed against the War Emperor. The night was filled with the clash of energy—fire against shadow.

But Shen Ziyan was no longer interested in a mere battle.

"System," he said softly. "Devour him."

[Heaven-Devouring Clone Art – Activated]

Threads of golden energy erupted from Huo Yan's body as the system began to strip him of his cultivation. The once-proud Sect Master's power drained from him in moments. His flames flickered and died, leaving him gasping in disbelief.

Shen Ziyan stepped closer, his voice cold and final. "You were simply in my way."

With one last pulse of the system's power, Huo Yan collapsed—his Foundation Establishment cultivation consumed entirely.

[Conquest Complete – Iron Mountain Sect Subjugated]

New Clone Type: Master Clone (Capable of Independent Thought and Strategy)

Resource Boost: 300 Spirit Veins Acquired

Host Cultivation: Foundation Establishment (Mid Stage – 75%)

The Shadow Monarch's Growing Empire

By dawn, the Iron Mountain Sect belonged to Shen Ziyan. The surviving disciples knelt in submission, their former pride shattered. War General Clone No. 1 led the reorganization, placing Puppet Clones in key positions to maintain control.

Shen Ziyan stood at the mountain's peak, his empire expanding by the day.

Two major sects had already fallen—and soon, the entire cultivation world would follow.

He turned his gaze toward the horizon, where the Heavenly Sword Sect—one of the Great Sects—awaited.

"Soon," he murmured. "You will bow too."

And with the power of infinite clones, nothing could stop him.
