The Puppet Formation, Packed Up and Taken Away
Without pausing, he immediately turned his gaze to the few glittering golden crystals.
"Repair the metalwork, it will be invincible, and unparalleled in offense!"
Same procedure, same domineering attitude!
The three lower-level crystals shattered, transforming into three Lower Law: [Sharpness], [Armor Piercing], and [Shock].
Point Allocation, Perfection, merge!
[Obtained: Mid-tier Law of Metal - [Law of Space Rending (Perfection)]!]
Immediately afterwards, it absorbed the [Mid-Level Law Crystal - Gold].
[Ding! You have comprehended the Middle Law – [The Law of the Immortal Golden Body]!]
This law leans towards defense and physical enhancement, which is exactly what he needs!
"Point Allocation! Perfection!"
At this moment, he already possessed:
[Middle Position · Law of Geng Metal] (Original)
[Mid-position Law of Space Rending] (New Synthesis)
[Mid-Rank Law of the Immortal Golden Body] (New Absorption)
"Three golds combined, their brilliance fully revealed!"
"Boom--!!!"
An extremely sharp and powerful aura of Geng metal instantly tore apart the isolation array surrounding him! The ground within a radius of a hundred miles was shattered into pieces by the invisible sharpness!
A rune, pure white and seemingly forged from the sharpest divine iron in the world, condensed in his Sea of Consciousness!
[Superior Rank: The Law of Metal (Perfection)]!
Dongfang Yueming slowly raised his hand, his fingertips gently tracing the air.
"Laugh--"
The space was neatly cut open like tofu, the cuts smooth as a mirror, and it took a long time for them to heal.
"So sharp!"
His eyes were filled with surprise.
At this point, among the Five Elements, fire, earth, water, and metal have all risen to a higher position!
Only...
He looked at the remaining wood-type crystals.
[Advanced Wood Element]
"Absorb! Point Allocation!"
After some maneuvering, he used three low-grade crystals to synthesize a [Mid-grade - Law of the Forest].
He absorbed another mid-level crystal and obtained a [Mid-level Law of Withering and Flourishing].
"Pity..."
Dongfang Yueming frowned slightly.
"One more mid-level wood-elemental law is needed to synthesize the high-level one."
"The Wood element is currently stuck at a bottleneck."
He didn't dwell on it too much, and instead turned his attention to the fire-elemental crystals.
He now possesses the [Superior Law of Fire].
The three low-grade fire crystals obtained this time were combined to create a [Mid-grade Explosive Flame Law].
That mid-level fire crystal allowed him to comprehend a [Mid-level Earth Core Fire Law].
"Now, in addition to the original high-level fire, I have two more Perfection mid-level fires."
A glint of ambition shone in Dongfang Yueming's eyes.
"If only we could get one more mid-tier fire..."
"I can synthesize... the second Higher Law of Fire!"
"If we acquire another Higher Law of Fire, then the three Higher Law will merge..."
"Is it possible to touch that legendary... Great Dao that only Immortal Venerable can master?!"
This is a crazy conjecture.
However, with the assistance of the [Infinite Point Allocation System], this is not impossible!
"Call--"
Dongfang Yueming stood up, his body surrounded by five-colored light, like a god-king who controlled the five elements.
Although the wood element is slightly weaker, this does not affect the overall situation.
With the four Higher Law empowering him, coupled with his cultivation levels of [Origin Immortal Physique] and [Immortal Lord Perfection], he was able to achieve great success.
His combat power has now reached an unbelievable critical point!
"Lei Dongtian..."
He looked into the depths of the immortal abode, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.
"We should... meet up."
Passing through the Five Elements Pool, there is a long, ancient corridor paved with bronze.
At the end of the corridor is a huge martial arts training plaza.
At this moment, the air was thick with the smell of burning and the aura of violent thunder. The ground was riddled with craters, bearing the marks of being struck by lightning, clearly indicating that a fierce battle had just taken place.
"It seems that Young Master Lei put in a lot of effort to get through this hurdle."
Dongfang Yueming stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across the square.
On a huge bronze plaza, ninety-nine tall metal puppets stood silently.
They were cast entirely from dark gold metal, each standing three zhang tall, wielding heavy weapons such as giant swords and battle axes. Although many of the puppets were covered in sword marks and charred from lightning strikes, and some were even missing limbs, the red light in their eyes still flickered, radiating a chilling killing intent that sent shivers down one's spine.
[Immortal King -level Battle Puppet]!
These ninety-nine puppets are arranged in a mysterious formation, their energy interconnected, forming a unified whole.
Once someone steps into the plaza, the entire formation will be activated instantly, and they will be surrounded and killed by ninety-nine Immortal King- level powerhouses who are "unaware of pain and unafraid of death"!
"I see..."
Dongfang Yueming's eyes were sharp, and he instantly saw through the mystery.
"That's why Lei Dongtian and the others were injured."
"Even Half-Step Immortal King, or even an Immortal Emperor suppressing their cultivation, would be severely injured if they didn't use their trump cards against this formation composed of tireless killing machines."
"But..."
His gaze did not linger on the puppets' combat strength, but rather on their broken bodies.
A quick scan with divine sense brought immediate analytical feedback.
[Material: Tier 4 Immortal Gold - Mystic Iron Essence Metal!]
[Core: Immortal King -level Formation Core!]
[Status: Damaged (Repairable)!]
"A treasure crafted from fourth-tier immortal gold, just smashed like that?"
"What a spendthrift."
Dongfang Yueming's eyes gleamed, and he couldn't help but lick his lips.
"This isn't an obstacle; it's clearly... a security detail delivered right to our doorstep!"
"Since you don't want it, then I'll reluctantly take it back for you."
He thought of the women who were still cultivating inside the city lord's mansion.
Although one has Immortal Immortal Artifact for protection, there is still danger if one is surrounded and attacked by truly powerful individuals.
But what if one had a personal guard composed of these ninety-nine Immortal King- level puppets...?
"From now on, when they go out shopping, let's see who dares to be so disrespectful!"
Dongfang Yueming smiled.
He smiled like a miser looking at a pile of gold.
"This kind of good stuff, of course I'll take it all with me!"
He took a step forward and walked directly into the square!
"Buzz--!"
Sensing the presence of a living person, the red light in the eyes of the ninety-nine puppets instantly intensified!
"Kill!"
Although it lacked vocal cords, the condensed killing intent reverberated in the Xukong, unleashing a silent roar!
"Boom--!"
The grand formation activated, and the dozen or so puppets closest to Dongfang Yueming instantly swung their giant swords down with terrifying force that tore through the Xukong!
This power is enough to instantly chop an ordinary Immortal Lord Perfection into mincemeat!
However.
Dongfang Yueming didn't even blink, and his hands remained behind his back.
"Space... stripped away."
He uttered four words softly.
Advanced application of [Mid-position Law of Space (Perfection)] - [Heaven and Earth in the Sleeve]!
"Buzz--!"
Suddenly, the space in front of Dongfang Yueming began to fold and twist strangely, like a piece of cloth.
The dozen or so menacing puppets suddenly shrank rapidly the moment they came into contact with this distorted space!
Its massive body, originally three zhang tall, shrank to a mere inch in the blink of an eye!
Then...
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Like dust sucked up by a vacuum cleaner, they involuntarily flew into Dongfang Yueming's wide sleeves!
There was no collision.
There was no explosion.
That attack, powerful enough to instantly kill Immortal Lord, simply vanished!
"Roar--!"
Although the remaining puppets lacked intelligence, they still charged forward fearlessly, driven by the formation!
The dozens of puppets behind them even began to gather their strength, preparing to unleash a long-range energy bombardment!
"Too slow."
Dongfang Yueming shook his head.
He suddenly spread his arms wide, and the Perfection Law of Space covered the entire square without reservation!
"Give it to me...!"
"Boom--!"
He instantly and forcefully "cut off" the entire plaza space!
All ninety-nine puppets, whether charging or gathering strength, lost their balance in that instant and shrank rapidly as space collapsed!
"Splash--!"
In the blink of an eye.
The huge square became deserted.
Inside Dongfang Yueming's storage space, ninety-nine Immortal King puppets were neatly arranged, like soldiers awaiting inspection.
"Done."
Dongfang Yueming patted his sleeves with satisfaction.
"I'll use the Origin Immortal Art to refine it again, erase the original owner's mark, and repair the damage..."
"This is an invincible legion that swept through middle-level immortal dynasties!"
After doing all this, he raised his head and looked at the gate at the end of the square that led to the core area.
There, a sense of vicissitude, belonging to a "Immortal Venerable," faintly emanated.
"Lei Dongtian..."
The smile on Dongfang Yueming's lips gradually faded, transforming into a chilling killing intent.
"I've scouted out the road ahead for you, and you've paved the way for me quite a bit."
"Now, it's time... to pay the bill."
With a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of light and rushed into the core gate!
