Puppet in Hand
Wu Tao flew toward the left side of the Spirit Transformation Puppet, keeping an eye on the current battle at all times. Seeing the four Deity Transformation Sovereigns from the Tailing Cultivation World speed up their attacks, forcing the Spirit Transformation Puppet to use both fists and feet to knock away the attacks of six magical treasures.
"This is the moment."
Wu Tao thought to himself. Seizing that gap, his figure paused, and he tried to dart from the left side to the Spirit Transformation Puppet's back.
In that flash of lightning and flint, the Spirit Transformation Puppet knocked away the attacks of the six magical treasures, shifted sideways, and was already in front of Wu Tao. Its fist came smashing fiercely toward him.
Wu Tao instantly felt a sharp fist wind rush into his face. He had a premonition that his Star Nascent Body simply could not withstand the force of this punch.
"So this is close-combat power comparable to a Body Cultivator's Divine Body Realm. So this was how others used to face me."
Wu Tao finally understood the scenes from before, when he had used the Star Nascent Body to smash his enemies apart. What those enemies had felt at that time should have been exactly what he was feeling now.
A Body Cultivator was invincible in close combat—this was absolutely no empty phrase. If Wu Tao were in the Star Divine Body Realm right now, he would not hesitate to use Body Cultivator methods to blast this Spirit Transformation Puppet back.
But right now, he was a Spell Cultivator. His Body Cultivator realm was still stuck at the Yuan Body Realm, and he was simply unable to meet its edge head-on.
