"Who?"
Ye Xuan's expression changed slightly. Almost instantly, his Spiritual Qi surged around him. The next moment, brilliant Spiritual Qi enveloped his fist, and he threw a punch.
The fist Heaven Shattering, shaking the void, and the entire City Lord's Manor resounded with a loud bang.
With a loud bang.
Ye Xuan suddenly retreated, and at the same time, the figure also caused a deafening roar, staggering back more than ten steps.
Ye Xuan looked closely and realized that it was just a puppet.
The puppet was entirely golden, surrounded by a violent spiritual aura, and looked just like a war god, extremely domineering.
His eyes were empty and lifeless, but his iron fists gave off an extremely unsettling feeling.
Without a sound, amidst a series of creaking noises, the puppet slightly shook its head, and the next moment, it suddenly took a step forward and continued to attack Ye Xuan.
A rumbling sound rang out, and the earth began to tremble.
With each step he took, cracks would appear on the ground, causing the earth to shake and mountains to tremble, as if a war god had descended.
"What an overbearing puppet! With such power, it must have already reached the Half-Saint Realm, right?"
Ye Xuan watched this scene and couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.
A puppet at the Half-Saint Realm —what does that even mean?
Who on earth has the audacity to create a puppet at the Half-Saint Realm?
This is absolutely terrifying.
It's important to understand that puppets do not possess a domain, nor do they possess sentience.
A true Half-Saint, without a domain and spiritual consciousness, would have their combat power significantly reduced, and would not be able to reach the Half-Saint Realm at all.
But this puppet achieved that.
In the blink of an eye, amidst a series of booming explosions, the puppet quickly descended beside Ye Xuan.
There were no roars, no howls, and absolutely no sound.
He swung his arms, his fists flying like shadows, instantly shattering the void as he smashed directly towards Ye Xuan, displaying extreme ferocity.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xuan had a thought, and the True Solar Fire immediately returned to his body.
The next moment, he roared and directly grabbed two drops of Gods and Devils Essence Blood and two Fortune Black-Yellow Qi and swallowed them into his mouth.
Then he frantically began to circulate the Wilds Body Refining Technique, swinging his fists as he charged forward.
These puppets, though powerful, are also the best whetstones.
He might be able to use this puppet to completely deplete the Gods and Devils Essence Blood and demons and the Fortune Black-Yellow Qi, allowing his physical body to advance further.
A thunderous roar shook the void, and the two were soon locked in a fierce battle.
quick.
That's incredibly fast.
In a short period of time, the two had each thrown thousands of punches.
Even with Ye Xuan's formidable physique, his fists were mangled and bloody under such a frenzied clash, and even his bones showed signs of cracking.
The puppet, however, seemed largely unaffected and grew even stronger with each battle.
Of course, under such a violent battle, Ye Xuan also clearly felt that...
The Gods and Devils Essence Blood and the Fortune Black-Yellow Qi that had been swallowed were being absorbed at an extremely rapid pace, tempering his physical body.
"Kill!"
Ye Xuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he fought with increasing ferocity.
Suddenly, he gritted his teeth, took out the last two drops of Gods and Devils Essence Blood and the two Fortune Black-Yellow Qi, and swallowed them all.
A surge of immense energy coursed through Ye Xuan's body, roaring and surging.
As Ye Xuan felt himself becoming stronger, he also experienced unprecedented heat and pain.
"Kill! Kill!!!"
In an instant, his eyes became even more bloodshot, as if he were insane.
His fists danced wildly like a madman, engaging in a frenzied battle with the puppet.
A series of booming sounds echoed, and the small space was quickly reduced to unrecognizable pieces.
The already dilapidated building was completely destroyed and reduced to ashes.
Countless craters appeared on the ground, and violent energy overflowed, creating a shocking sight.
Ye Xuan was covered in blood and gore, but he fought with increasing ferocity.
The puppet seemed to have also suffered a great loss, as both its attack and reaction were weaker than at the beginning.
With a loud bang.
At one point, Ye Xuan threw another punch, accurately striking the puppet's neck.
With a deafening explosion, the puppet's body paused for a moment, then suddenly exploded.
A rich Spiritual Qi surged forth; it was the crystallization within the puppet's body.
"Hahaha."
Ye Xuan let out a wild laugh, then suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing it all.
The Spiritual Qi within his body roared once more, his 108 spiritual meridians circulated wildly, and his aura began to surge again.
In just a brief moment, accompanied by a thunderous boom, his cultivation advanced once again, stepping into the Venerable Realm Eighth Layer!
"It's so hot, it hurts, it's so strong!"
Golden light flashed in Ye Xuan's eyes, and his physical body instantly returned to normal.
Despite this, he still felt a surge of energy raging within his body.
It was not the absorbed Spiritual Qi, but the energy of the Gods and Devils Essence Blood and the Fortune Black-Yellow Qi.
As the saying goes, one should strike while the iron is hot, but the momentum will wane on the second attempt and be exhausted on the third.
Without pausing, Ye Xuan used the burst of power to rush forward and madly entered the City Lord's Manor.
He then entered a rather spacious hall.
This hall may have been magnificent in the past, but now it is somewhat dilapidated.
On each side of the main hall stood three puppets.
In total, that makes six.
"Holy shit!"
Ye Xuan's eyelids twitched involuntarily when he saw this scene.
The next moment, as if sensing something, or perhaps Ye Xuan's entry triggered a mechanism, the six puppets turned their fists around and looked at Ye Xuan.
"The difficulty of this level has increased way too fast!" Ye Xuan's pupils contracted sharply, and he turned around, wanting to leave first.
With a clang, the palace doors slammed shut, and immediately a layer of runic barriers appeared.
"You son of a bitch!"
Ye Xuan cursed loudly.
Rumble!
But at that moment, the six puppets, already in a three-character formation, instantly attacked him.
These six puppets seem to be even stronger than the previous one.
"Damn it, this is a total rip-off!"
Ye Xuan cursed loudly, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and charge forward.
Now that things have come to this, there's no turning back; let's fight.
Ye Xuan fought his way through the city, while outside the city, even more cultivators had gathered.
The Luo Mountain Gate, Azure Firmament Immortal Gate, Dao Mystic Immortal Sect, and other major forces totaled several hundred people.
Even the weakest among these people has already reached the Venerable Realm Late Stage.
As for those with stronger cultivation, they had even reached the Half-Saint Realm Middle Stage.
Among these hundreds of cultivators, at least twenty are at the Half-Saint Realm.
It boasts a formidable lineup.
"Fellow Daoists, let's break through the formation and enter the city together! That Ye Xuan dares to harm any of us fellow disciples; he should be killed!"
"Let's all work together to eliminate that madman, and then we'll distribute the resources."
"Break down the door together!"
Led by a few Middle Half-Saint, hundreds of people surged forward into the ten-thousand-meter range.
An endless killing intent swept in, and hundreds of people fought back with all their might to be annihilated.
With several Half-Saint level experts present, the killing intent was quickly diminished, the city gates were pushed open, and everyone rushed inside.
