Heavenly Demon Puppet
When the last Three-color Half-Mixed Pill Lightning, carrying Destructive Aura, struck Puppet One's body like a heavenly whip descending from the heavens, with a sharp whistling sound that Space-Rending, the energy in the world suddenly stagnated, and then a strange change occurred!
That wisp of pale golden lightning hidden deep within the tri-colored lightning was like the first ray of dawn born from chaos. It was not the pure destructive power of ordinary Pill Lightning, but rather contained an indescribable and strange catalytic and sublimation property!
Unlike the previous bolts of lightning, which were forcibly absorbed and transformed into energy for repair and enhancement by Puppet One's powerful body, Kui Yi, like ink dripping into a calm lake, penetrated Puppet One's tough shell at an almost eerie speed, reaching the very Spirit Core of his body!
"Buzz--!"
A deep and resonant hum erupted from within the Puppet One, as if a colossal beast that had slumbered for millennia had suddenly awakened!
Its body, which had long been transformed into a deep dark silver through countless temperings, suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly intense light. The silver halo surged and rolled like boiling magma, illuminating the surrounding space for dozens of feet!
The two points of golden light that were already flickering in his eyes suddenly became more than ten times more intense, as if they had been thrown into boiling oil!
The dazzling gold was no longer confined to the small area of the eyes, but as if it had come to life, it originated from the eyes and transformed into countless fine lines as thin as hair, yet as dazzling as gold threads, spreading wildly to every corner of the body!
At first, the speed of its spread was barely discernible, with golden threads crawling across the dark silver skin like a spider web. But in the blink of an eye, it spread like wildfire, unstoppable!
Golden threads spread along the temples of the head, gilding the originally Dark Silver Faceplate with a golden sheen, lending the once cold outline a touch of holiness; at the neck, gold and silver intertwined, forming a magnificent collar-like pattern; on the torso, golden threads flowed like Hundred Rivers Return to Sea, following the muscle lines, outlining the explosive power contained within the Puppet One's body; on the limbs, golden threads wrapped around the joints, making every turn exude a metallic texture and majesty...
Wherever the golden threads passed, the dark silver body seemed to be covered by a layer of flowing liquid gold, exuding a sacred quality that was indestructible and impervious to all laws!
The dark Silver Lightning patterns that had just been tempered by lightning and distributed like veins on the body were not only not covered up or disappeared under the golden light, but were instead as if they were carefully inlaid with gold edges, forming a perfect pattern of yin and yang, and strength and gentleness!
"Click... click..."
Subtle yet dense sounds of joints rubbing and body reassembly emanated from within the Puppet One, like the most sophisticated instruments undergoing upgrades and modifications.
Under the catalysis of golden energy, its body structure is undergoing a deeper transformation and reorganization. Every inch of skin, every bone, and every meridian is evolving towards a more powerful form!
The surrounding space was violently distorted and surged by this sudden burst of immense energy. The air churned like boiling water, and the distant clouds were scattered by the invisible pressure, as if this world could not withstand the terrifying aura released by this peerless ferocious puppet that was being born!
In just a few breaths, the overwhelming silver light and the remaining lightning completely dissipated into the world.
The Puppet One that was originally suspended in mid-air, emitting a dark silver light, has disappeared. In its place is a perfect figure that flows with brilliant golden light, as if it were carefully cast from the purest gold from the heavens!
It stood silently in the void, its form no different from that of a human, yet it exuded a sense of profound stability like a towering mountain, and a fierce ferocity like an ancient, primordial beast!
On its golden body, the Lightning Patterns, imbued with the profound principles of heaven Supreme Principle, appeared and disappeared under the veil of light, sometimes brightening and sometimes dimming, adding to its mystery and majesty.
Especially those eyes, which had turned completely Pure Gold, no longer showed any of the dullness or woodenness that Puppet should have when they opened and closed. Instead, they were filled with a cold Spirituality and a sharp edge that seemed to be able to pierce through the void!
A terrifying pressure, more than ten times stronger than before, swept out from his body like a storm sweeping across the heavens and earth!
The power of this pressure has completely surpassed the limits that Dou Zong expert can reach, truly entering the Dou Venerate level, which is capable of controlling the Space Power and overlooking a region!
"Golden... Heavenly Demon Puppet! It's done!"
As Lin Ming gazed at the majestic figure shimmering with golden light in the void, resembling the legendary Golden War God, he finally couldn't suppress a wildly joyful smile, his eyes blazing with intense light!
According to the Puppet- making method he obtained from the Old Ghost Di Mo, the Heavenly Demon Puppet lineage is divided into three grades: the lowest grade, the Bronze Heavenly Demon Puppet, can rival an ordinary Dou Emperor Expert; the middle grade, the Silver Heavenly Demon Puppet, is enough to directly contend with Dou Zong powerhouse; and the legendary highest grade, the Gold Heavenly Demon Puppet, is a terrifying existence that can truly stand on equal footing with Dou Zun expert and dominate a region!
Before this, even after countless strengthening and tempering, and even after enduring several baptisms of Pill Lightning, his Puppet One remained at the peak of the Silver Heavenly Demon Puppet, stuck at the bottleneck of the Half-Step Dou Venerate, unable to make any further progress.
At this moment, with the help of the terrifying power of this Three-Color Half-Pill Lightning, especially the catalysis of the last wisp of pale golden lightning containing strange sublimation power, it finally broke through the final shackle that had been troubling it for so long, completed a qualitative leap, and evolved into a true Gold Heavenly Demon Puppet!
From now on, Lin Ming will have an absolutely loyal, unwavering, and powerful ally with genuine Dou Venerate combat strength by his side! For him, who is currently in the perilous cultivation world, this is undoubtedly like adding wings to a tiger!
Just as Lin Ming was immersed in the immense joy of the Heavenly Demon Puppet's successful evolution, the Bone-Regenerating Soul-Melding Pill, which had just undergone the baptism of Pill Lightning and Spirituality had greatly increased, keenly seized this brief opportunity!
The pill, only the size of a longan and shimmering with soft halos of blue, white, and red, suddenly trembled and then burst forth with a light far stronger than before!
The light twisted and changed in the void, transforming into a small Flood Dragon, only a foot long, crystal clear, with its blue, white, and red colors intertwined!
Although small, this Pill Spirit Flood Dragon had clear features, scales and claws, and its eyes were filled with cunning and a longing for freedom! It let out a soft but sharp hiss, and with a sway of its body, it Space-Tearing, transforming into a three-colored stream of light that shot towards the distant horizon! Its speed was comparable to lightning!
The Tier 8 Medicinal Pill has developed its Spirituality and possesses a rudimentary sense of self. Unwilling to be refined and consumed by humans, it actually wants to fly away on its own to seek freedom!
"Trying to run?"
Lin Ming had anticipated this, and his face showed no panic, but rather a calm smile of complete control. He had devoted countless efforts to reviving Elder Yao; how could he let this elixir slip away at the last moment?
He didn't even move; his thoughts simply First Revolution slightly.
Just as the Pill Spirit Flood Dragon was about to disappear into the void—
"Buzz!"
The newly evolved Heavenly Demon Puppet, standing motionless like a golden sculpture, suddenly unleashed two tangible golden beams of light from its Pure Gold eyes!
The beam of light did not shoot towards the Flood Dragon, but instantly pierced through the void and appeared in the four directions of front, back, left, and right of the Pill Spirit Flood Dragon!
The four golden beams of light, like pillars supporting the sky, suddenly converged, transforming into a square Golden Cage with sharp edges and covered with Mysterious Runes, tightly sealing the three-colored Flood Dragon inside!
"Roar!"
The Pill Spirit Flood Dragon roared in anger and resentment, its body slamming wildly against the Golden Cage. Three-colored light burst forth, attempting to corrode and break free of its restraints.
However, this Golden Cage was formed from the Dou Venerate- level energy of the Heavenly Demon Puppet and a trace of Space Power. It was extremely sturdy and remained unmoved no matter how it rammed into it, without even a ripple.
The Heavenly Demon Puppet stretched out its Pure Gold palm and grasped at the distant Golden Cage.
"Receive!"
The Golden Cage shrank instantly, transforming into a fist-sized ball of light, which flew back like lightning and landed steadily in the palm of the Heavenly Demon Puppet. Inside the ball of light, the three-colored little Flood Dragon was still struggling left and right, but it could not escape this small space no matter what it did.
The Heavenly Demon Puppet turned around, holding the golden orb that sealed the Pill Spirit Flood Dragon. Like the most loyal guard, it took a step and appeared in front of Lin Ming, kneeling on one knee and presenting the orb.
Lin Ming nodded in satisfaction and reached out to take the ball of light. He could feel the immense vitality and Spirituality contained within the Bone-Regenerating Soul-Melding Pill.
He took out a Cold Jade Pill Bottle that he had prepared beforehand, the bottle body engraved with Seal Runes. He brought the golden light ball close to the mouth of the bottle, and the light ball transformed into a stream of light, which, along with the Pill Spirit Flood Dragon inside, was sucked into the Pill Bottle.
"Smack!"
Lin Ming quickly put the cap back on the bottle, completely cutting off its connection with the outside world. The Jade Bottle vibrated slightly a few times before falling completely silent.
Thus, the Bone-Regenerating Soul-Melding Pill, which had gone through many twists and turns, triggered Three-Color Half-Pill Lightning, and transformed into a dragon with Spirituality power, reaching the Tier 8, was finally completely subdued by Lin Ming!
Holding the warm, smooth Jade Bottle in his hand, feeling the immense medicinal power within that could reverse life and death, Lin Ming let out a long sigh of relief, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Elder Yao... everything is ready for your resurrection!"
He glanced at the Heavenly Demon Puppet standing to the side like a golden guardian deity, then looked in the direction where Xiao Yi Xian was in seclusion studying the Poison Scripture, and his heart was filled with heroic spirit.
With this Bone-Regenerating Soul-Melding Pill that can reverse life and death, and with this newly born Gold Heavenly Demon Puppet with the power of Dou Venerate, Lin Ming has much more confidence in whether it's resurrecting Elder Yao or dealing with all sorts of storms and challenges on his future cultivation path!
