It was still within a void space, and the enemy they faced was still an Immortal Puppet.
But the Immortal Puppet guarding the fourth trial of the treasure trove was a genuine seventh-tier upper-grade Immortal Puppet—and there were three of them!
The three Immortal Puppets consisted of a giant ape puppet of the Gold Element, a giant turtle puppet of the Earth Attribute, and a giant wolf puppet of the Fire Element.
All three Immortal Puppets could wield the power of laws and possessed powerful Immortal Arts and Supernatural Abilities. Their bodies were hard and sturdy; even the seventh-tier upper-grade immortal artifact Sun God Sword could only leave sword marks upon them, unable to cleave or pierce them through with a single strike.
On Zhou Yang's side, Daoist Lan was only equivalent to an Early Tribulation Crossing Stage combatant. After the forbidden technique he wielded lost its effect, he could not even handle one Immortal Puppet alone. Zhou Yang had to summon his avatar to help him steadily hold back the Earth Attribute giant turtle puppet.
That meant Zhou Yang's true body had to face two seventh-tier upper-grade Immortal Puppets at once.
The result was that the battle became extraordinarily difficult. Zhou Yang was practically fighting three opponents alone.
Even with Zhou Yang's formidable combat strength, surpassing ordinary cultivators of the same realm, fighting one against three was exceedingly difficult.
Especially when his opponents were Immortal Puppets that did not fear death at all!
"Daoist Lan, do you truly have no other way? Even if we force our way through this trial, we surely won't be able to keep it up in the next one!"
Amid the fierce battle, Zhou Yang still asked Daoist Lan the doubt in his heart.
He felt that Daoist Lan must still be concealing something.
