As the ability activated, Xiang Yu felt his body suddenly go numb.
It felt as though he'd just lost half his lifespan.
He concentrated inward and observed his blood, he had lost a large amount of bloodline essence, almost causing his bloodline to regress to the noble blood stage. He gritted his teeth as the rest of the process continued.
"I expected the cost to be quite large," he thought to himself, "but I hadn't expected it to be this much."
With this level of drain, there was no way he could spam create clones.
Other than the steep cost, the rest of the process went smoothly. Before him stood a perfect replica of himself, moving its arms around to test out the body's functionality. Xiang Yu thought that the price for bloodline essence condensing was really steep. If a normal person attempted this, they probably would only be able to make just one or two noble bloods in their lifetime.
