Life Puppet
"Come back."
Xin Li stroked the scales of the Ice Winged Serpent, and the bracelet on her right wrist glowed slightly, drawing upon the World Power within, which quickly spread out and instantly enveloped the Ice Winged Serpent's body.
Call!
The Ice Winged Serpent vanished instantly.
This is a lower-level "World Bracelet," similar to World Ring. Creating A World is not difficult; anyone who is World Master can do it. Moreover, the total number of World Master on Viska Star far exceeds the total number of normal Universe Country.
Furthermore... Viska Star is located in the Original Secret Realm, nurturing various precious materials. The rich Universe Origin Energy has even formed a tangible mist. By simply compressing the mist, one can create Cosmic Crystal.
Therefore... although the craftsmanship of the World Ring made on Viska Star is inferior to that of the outside world, its price is far lower.
Lin Yan, on the other hand, began searching through Xin Li's memories to quickly learn about "Xin Li".
If we're talking about secret techniques similar to "Slave Soul Seal," once a soul is controlled, it has already completely submitted to its master from the very essence of its being, and would not hesitate to commit suicide even if forced to do so.
These are Soul Servant!
A servant who is completely loyal, from the soul.
The Green Line Devouring Worm's talent, "Parasitism," allows it to completely Parasitism Xin Li's Soul Worm, assimilating it with his consciousness, depriving him of his ability to think independently, and turning him into Life Puppet!
From that moment on, Xin Li was already dead.
This control over consciousness is even more domineering than that of Soul Servant, reaching a level of complete "domination"!
Just as the Zerg Mother Queen controls Zerg Warrior with her consciousness, the "Life Puppet," under the control of the Green Line Devouring Worm's consciousness, still fights with unparalleled finesse, able to unleash Law Attack and retain as much of its original combat capabilities as possible.
"Life Puppet" are different from "Mechanical Puppet." Mechanical Puppet are, after all, just machines. A single heavy attack can Damaged their energy core, rendering them unable to function. Life Puppet, on the other hand, can still be considered life forms, comparable to humans.
Unless the surface metal and internal energy core are extremely advanced, or the restraining relationship is very obvious, Mechanical Puppet of the same level are far inferior.
But...
Life Puppet also have their own limitations. Apart from the accumulation of pure energy from the first to the Domain Lord level 9 Domain Lord level, they cannot evolve further or continue to comprehend the Origin Law.
Xin Li's soul is now completely under Lin Yan's control, so it would be extremely easy for him to explore his memories.
Lin Yan raised an eyebrow. "So that's how it is."
Xin Li's master is Nie He, the Country Lord of the "Xuan Shui Principality". Even among the Sacred Domain expert (World Master), he is considered a terrifying existence.
However, this person is cruel and cunning. Xin Li is his disciple whom he secretly trained and who created the Dark Division to handle his shady dealings.
The reason he targeted Cuinina was because he wanted to use her as leverage to obtain a very useful treasure from her father, "Kolo," who was also Sacred Domain expert.
Lin Yan had absolutely no interest in this kind of trivial matter.
Lin Yan had a thought, and Xin Li took out an item that looked like a prismatic crystal from her Space Storage Armguard.
Although Viska Star's technology is not advanced, it is not entirely in a primitive state; it possesses communication tools containing simple "Light Brain intelligence."
Xin Li had just tried to send a message, but this communication method was too rudimentary and was directly intercepted by Wind Queen.
"Wind Queen, copy the information from this 'Light Brain'." Lin Yan communicated with Wind Queen consciousness.
Wind Queen said, "No problem, I will make a catalog for the master to refer to."
Lin Yan briefly examined the contents and found various cultivation techniques that Xin Li had obtained, as well as many maps, general knowledge books, and encyclopedias about Viska Star. Due to Xin Li's identity, there was a considerable amount of highly confidential information among them.
Those secret techniques had no effect on him.
Let alone the ultimate secret manual of the combat-type secret techniques, "Black Hole Evolution," even the thousands of secret techniques recorded in books such as "Time-Space Essays" and "Cosmic Combination Theory" are not comparable to the secret techniques cultivated by Xin Li.
Other books and information can help him better understand Viska Star.
However, these are secondary.
Xin Li flipped her hand, and immediately eight jade pendants, each about 10 centimeters long, appeared, floating in the air and flying towards Lin Yan. They were all light green and each was carved with a strange beast in a different form.
An aura that took one's breath away wafted through the pale green jade.
Lin Yan's brows relaxed; this was one of his mission objectives—the "Eight Directions Totem Jade"!
His mood lightened a bit. "Xin Li is, after all, Domain Lord level 9, and has killed quite a few Domain Lords. Plus, he is determined to collect all Eight Directions Totem Jade. It's really that simple for him."
"This first task came to us without any effort at all."
That's why he could say such things. If it were anyone else in this unfamiliar environment, they could only try to collect the eight totem jades by targeting ordinary domain lords, and even then, they would still have to take a considerable risk.
They wouldn't dare to set their sights on Domain Lord level 9 like Xin Li.
Enveloped in his mental power, eight totem jades floated in front of Lin Yan, each carved with a different, lifelike demonic beast.
This was made by the Totem Sacred Hall. As long as one steps into the Domain Lord realm, one will receive a totem jade that matches one's attributes from the temple.
Observing and studying the "totems" on jade can help one understand the underlying principles.
But--
Based on Lin Yan's judgment, the aura contained in this totem jade was limited, and it probably wouldn't have much effect on those who were at least at the third level of Law Comprehension of the Tongtian Bridge.
"The Metal attribute Golden Terror Beast".
"Green Soul Carving with wood attribute."
"The water-attribute Ziqian Ten Thousand Snakes."
"A fire-attribute Netherfire Spider."
"Earth attribute Stele Spirit Dragon."
"The Thunder Emperor Ape with the Thunder attribute."
"The Moon-Swallowing Seven-Colored Whale, a creature of light attribute."
"A wind-attribute Azure-Scaled Bird Dragon."
Lin Yan looked at them one by one, and without exception, all eight totems of Viska Star belonged to the royal family of the Demon Race.
Not just totems, but in fact, these monsters actually exist on Viska Star. Although they are few in number, take Xin Li's master "Nie He" as an example. His tamed beast is a World Lord level Ziqian Ten Thousand Snakes.
Lin Yan murmured, "This thing reminds me a bit of... the rubbings of the Chaos Stele on the wall of the corridor in the Chaos City Lord's Mansion."
"Perhaps, there exists something similar to the Chaos Stele behind this?"
When they first arrived in Chaos City, they followed the Black-Robed Envoy to the City Lord's Mansion to observe the huge rubbings on both sides of the corridor, and finally chose the Chaos Stele that suited them best.
Although the rubbing could not fully convey the aura contained within the Chaos Stele, it was still enough to allow people to sense it to some extent.
Lin Yan speculated... were the countless totem jades on Viska Star made in this way?
A weaker version of the Chaos Stele?
Lin Yan frowned and pondered, "I have already collected Eight Directions Totem Jade, and with Xin Li as my Life Puppet, I can rearrange my plans."
His original plan was to disguise his identity and join the Totem Sacred Hall to learn about the situation. The advantage of doing so was that he would have the opportunity to access more core secrets, but there were also disadvantages, such as not having enough freedom.
But now that we have the information in Xin Li's memories, we can try to explore it ourselves.
Regarding the "Ancestor God Tomb".
Legend has it that millions of years ago, the "Ancestor God" was the supreme being on this planet, and even the first emperor of the Viska Empire was merely a servant of the "Ancestor God".
In that ancient history, the "Ancestor God" led the most powerful group of Immortal God on Viska Star to join forces against the invasion of extraterrestrial races.
The "Ancestor God" fought desperately, but ultimately perished.
On Viska Star, there are three dangerous places: the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone, the Bu Tian Mountain Range, and the Meteor Sea. To Ancestor God, the Totem Sacred Hall built the "Ancestor God Tomb" in the Bu Tian Mountain Range, which is heavily guarded and extremely mysterious.
Lin Yan made up his mind. "'Ancestor God Tomb' is in the Bu Tian Mountain Range, while the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone is the source of 'Ancestor God Sacred Artifact'. We'll go to the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone first to complete the second mission, and then investigate the situation of Ancestor God Tomb."
In the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone, a peculiar life form naturally formed— the Blood Demon Beast.
They are formed from the convergence of special blood energy in the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone. They possess only a very simple consciousness and have no intelligence whatsoever. However, they are bloodthirsty by nature and will attack any other non- Blood Demon Beast life they discover.
Even the weakest among them is at the Cosmic level, while the strongest is comparable to the World Lord peak.
The "Ancestor God Sacred Artifact" is not a psychic weapon or anything like that, but a strange crystal that has a chance to form inside the Blood Demon Beast. Because it is usually shaped like a knife or sword, it is called a "sacred artifact".
This strange crystal can be integrated into the body, improving both the body and soul, and enhancing the clarity of one's Law Sense.
Xin Li had trained in the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone and fused his body with this crystal, which is why the blood-red secret pattern on the right side of his face is from this.
However, according to his understanding, the strange power of this crystal is only active inside the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone. Once outside the forbidden land, it will become dormant and cannot be integrated at all. Furthermore, the strange power within it will gradually dissipate.
Therefore, it is difficult to see them from the outside world.
Lin Yan pondered for a while, then, without further delay, looked up at Xin Li.
Call!
Xin Li vanished instantly, his World Bracelet floating in the air, which Lin Yan then put away.
Splash...
After unlocking the chains binding her, Lin Yan placed the dark blue coffin back on the ground. Once opened, he dispelled the Mental Illusion, and Cuinina awoke from her unconscious state.
The girl opened her eyes, and for a moment, she was still somewhat dazed.
"Brother Yanlin?"
She called out, then snapped out of her daze and nervously looked around, "Where's the enemy from before?"
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already repelled them."
"What?" Cuinina's eyes widened immediately.
Although she wasn't sure exactly how strong the enemy was, judging from their aura, they were definitely a powerful figure even among legendary-level enemies. In addition, the ferocious Ice Winged Serpent was also used to repel them.
Even in this situation, neither Yanlin, who was fighting the enemy head-on, nor the weaker Yan Lin himself, were unharmed.
The man in front of me looked relaxed, as if nothing had ever happened.
Just how strong is he?
At this moment—
Cuinina suddenly felt a pang of fear, and with a hiss... a black Gu worm the size of a grain of rice squeezed out of her body, then instantly turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated.
"Um?"
"The reason they were able to pinpoint your location is probably because of these Gu worms," Lin Yan explained.
He looked at the girl in front of him. "Considering your current situation, I will send you to the Golden City as soon as possible."
"Then I also need to leave to embark on new experiences."
Cuinina looked at the black-armored youth in front of her with her emerald green eyes, and felt a little disappointed for no reason. She replied softly, "Thank you."
This month has been a complete disaster. I'm probably still a bit dazed from all the criticism I received recently, plus I also felt that my later writing wasn't good enough, so my mental state has been really unstable this month. I can't even think of any plot. Please wait until my updates return to normal before subscribing. I'm so sorry.
