Though the puppet had no flesh and blood and was not truly alive, how could a divine ability be so limited?
The energy powering its movements drained rapidly. Merely taking a step consumed enormous amounts, let alone continuing to fight.
Its body, assembled from materials, seemed to have become an insatiable Gluttonous Shadow. Every function frantically demanded more from its core.
The puppet froze in place, its health bar plummeting. How could Chu Mo let such an opportunity slip away? An incomparably concentrated rosy glow burst forth, descending over the puppet's head.
In an instant, its white armor dissolved along with its body. Its health bar emptied, and its name turned gray.

Chu Mo picked up its sole drop.
[Damaged Puppet Core] [Description: A core used to craft a Second-Tier Puppet, but its energy has been completely depleted.]
"Second-tier?" Something stirred in Chu Mo's mind, but he set his doubts aside for now. His figure blurred into an afterimage as he charged straight into the hall.
Behind him, the Banner Spirits continued to pin down the remaining puppets, clearing the obstacles from his path.
The great hall was far more spacious than it appeared from outside. Everything around him, whether walls or stone pillars... was white throughout, just like snow.
Thin yet exceptionally pure yin qi and deathly qi drifted through the air.
He extended his divine sense to its fullest, sweeping every corner and passing over the empty spaces.
At last, in the deepest part of the great hall, a seamless jade wall blocked his path.
Chu Mo could clearly sense an indescribably profound aura faintly seeping out from behind this jade wall. The source of the yin qi was here as well.
"This is it!"
