Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Before the main hall at the very center of the ancient Battle Saint's ruins, no one dared to make a move until Zhu Yan, this extremely powerful expert, spoke.

Even the members of the Soul Hall were no exception.

That's why they were able to witness this amazing scene.

Behind her floated a giant nine-headed celestial serpent, a girl with a graceful figure who seemed even more alluring than the snake women.

More importantly, its pupils emitted a bright green light, and under this light, the Nine Netherworld Python, which was trapped in place and unable to struggle, showed a look of fear in its eyes.

Before long, a bright green light appeared in his eyes, exactly the same color as the girl's pupils.

Then, something even more shocking happened: after the emerald green flowers appeared in the eyes of the Nine Netherworld Pythons, they instantly transformed into a beam of light and entered the girl's eyes!

"The Azure Serpent's Three-Flower Pupils are absolutely terrifying!"

Witnessing this terrifying scene firsthand, everyone felt an indescribable fear of this seemingly powerless, alluring girl. Fortunately, her demonic eyes were only directed at the snake race.

Thinking of this, everyone began to gloat again.

Some powerful members of the major magical beast clans were secretly plotting to replace the Nine Netherworld Python clan and become another overlord of the magical beast race after the snake clan was completely controlled by this girl with the help of the Ancient Void Dragon clan!

"Gentlemen, there's one more thing!"

Just then, Lin Feng suddenly spoke, stepping towards the magical beasts that had just mocked or even coveted Cai Lin and the others, his expression slightly cold.

"Arrogance comes at a price, and for me, that price is death!"

"Master Lin Feng, spare my life!"

"Master Lin Feng, we know we were wrong, please forgive us this once!"

"Master Lin Feng, I am willing to serve you, but I beg you to spare my life!"

"."

The once arrogant Warcraft kings were now kneeling and begging for mercy, their former haughty demeanor utterly laughable.

Seeing this, the many powerful figures around silently took a few steps back, as if afraid of being misunderstood by Lin Feng.

"Hahaha, everyone, there's no need for that. I'm very quick; in a flash, it'll be goodbye until the next life!"

Lin Feng waved his hand with a smile, as if he were greeting a friend.

"Lin Feng, you beast, you deserve to die a horrible death! I'll never let you get away with this!"

An angry expression appeared on the face of a demon king, and a gray stream of energy emanated from his body, vaguely resembling a rat.

"The Great Cavern of Mysterious Yellow!"

His expression hardened, and after a leap, he suddenly turned rapidly into the depths of the earth, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing this, many Warcraft kings ceased their pleas for mercy and unleashed their abilities, attacking from afar.

Seeing many Warcraft Kings fleeing into the distance, Lin Feng remained unperturbed, a faint light flashing between his brows.

"ah"

Just a few breaths later, everyone heard several screams coming from a great distance, and some of the demon beast kings' expressions changed drastically.

Although the voice was somewhat mournful, it was clearly the voice of those escaped eighth-tier magical beasts. Could it be...?

Many powerful figures exchanged glances, secretly marveling at Lin Feng's immense power, but deep down they felt a sense of retreat.

If Lin Feng alone is this powerful, then how terrifying must a Dou Sheng expert be? Thinking of this, some experts silently withdrew from the main hall.

"Do the people of the Soul Palace also want to compete with my Ancient Void Dragon for the inheritance of the ruins?"

Just then, Zhu Yan's tall figure slowly stepped forward and actually shouted at the Great Celestial Venerable and the others who were silently standing in a corner of the hall.

Lin Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and he saw Zi Yan sticking out her tongue at him. He then understood that Zi Yan was telling Senior Zhu Yan about their grudges with the Soul Palace.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Soul Clan behind the Soul Palace actually had a peak nine-star Dou Sheng expert, Zhu Yan would have already crushed the Great Heavenly Venerable and the others into meat patties by now!

"Senior, you misunderstand. Since you desire this inheritance, we will simply withdraw!"

The Great Celestial Venerable's scarlet eyes flashed, but he dared not contend with Zhu Yan. As soon as he finished speaking, the black mist enveloping the three of them trembled, and then the three of them disappeared.

Upon seeing this, the remaining forces outside the main hall tactfully left before Zhu Yan could speak.

Even if one cannot obtain the inheritance of the Battle Saint, there are still many spiritual creatures that have long been extinct in the outside world growing within the ancient ruins. If one can harvest one or two of them, it would be excellent.

If we stay here, we'll lose our lives.

"Junior Brother Xiao Yan, you can stay here!"

After taking the corpses of many demonic beasts from the Heavenly Demon Puppet and putting them into his storage ring, Lin Feng called out to Xiao Yan and the others who were about to leave.

Xiao Yan and the others believed that the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void was the one in charge of this operation, and that even Lin Feng, as an eighth-grade nine-color alchemist, had to obey the command of the Ancient Dragon Clan.

Therefore, in order not to put Lin Feng in a difficult position, Xiao Yan and the others decided to leave.

"I observe that the inheritance contains numerous secret techniques. Aside from the most advanced ones, you may choose some of the lesser ones that suit your needs!"

"This," Xiao Yan exchanged a glance with Yao Chen, who had reappeared in his soul form after the Soul Palace members left, "thank you very much, Senior Brother Lin Feng!"

Before long, only Lin Feng, Xiao Yan, and less than ten others remained on the spot. Without saying much, they stepped into the main hall.

Before they had gone far, a dozen or so stone-gray figures appeared before them, their eyes closed, their bodies covered in dust, as if they had not moved for countless years.

"A dozen or so puppets at the Dou Zun level? Interesting. They seem to differ slightly from the crafting method I obtained from the Earth Demon Ancestor!"

Lin Feng rubbed his chin, revealing a hint of interest in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, a surge of powerful soul energy erupted, imprinting his soul mark onto the control cores of these dozen or so puppets!

In the blink of an eye, he completed the operation and, following the control method that suddenly appeared in his mind, controlled its actions.

"Form ranks!"

Lin Feng gave a soft shout, and the puppet that had been passed down from ancient times actually began to move slowly, becoming more and more fluid.

Then, amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, the auras of more than a dozen two- or three-star Dou Zun suddenly connected.

"Buzz"

"A six-star Dou Zun? Not bad. Using him as a bodyguard is worthy of my status as an eighth-grade nine-colored alchemy master!"

Hearing Lin Feng's mutterings, Xiao Yan and Feng Xian, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but frown. Did Lin Feng think they were even less important than doormen?

"Hahaha, Your Highness, back in ancient times, I saw puppets at the level of a Battle Saint! Those were truly top-tier creations!"

Zhu Yan stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"That requires the physical body of a Dou Sheng-level expert as material, combined with the magic core of a ninth-order magical beast. Even the auxiliary materials are extremely precious."

"A long time ago, I once fought against a puppet at the level of a Dou Sheng, whose physical body was not much weaker than that of a Taixu Ancient Dragon of the same level."

"Furthermore, he was able to use his fighting techniques and secret methods from his lifetime, coupled with his fearless bravery in the face of death. If it weren't for my decent use of space, I might have been caught off guard and lost!"

"Unfortunately, the Puppet Sect was wiped out because it stole the bodies of powerful figures after their deaths, and it seems that no legacy has been passed down."

"The Ancient Puppet Sect, puppets at the Dou Sheng level? The Dou Qi Continent of ancient times is truly something to yearn for!"

Lin Feng muttered to himself, finding it hard to imagine the glorious moments of the Dou Qi Continent thousands or tens of thousands of years ago.

Furthermore, how glorious the Dou Qi Continent was when many Dou Di coexisted!

If it weren't for the invasion of the extraterrestrial evil race, many emperors on the Dou Qi Continent would likely have been able to carve out a considerable territory in the Great Thousand World!

"However, once Princess Ziyan achieves the form of a dragon and phoenix, our Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan will surely be even more glorious than in ancient times."

Zhu Yan's eyes were filled with fervor, for there were many records of dragons and phoenixes in the clan.

The sentence that impressed him the most was, "The Great Ascension Dragon-Phoenix can fight against the Great Emperor!"

"However, the next step is to obtain the inheritance of this Battle Saint!"

Zhu Yan changed the subject, a subtle glint in his eyes.

"This Dou Sheng expert is no weakling; he's extremely close to a Seven-Star Dou Sheng. Even tens of thousands of years ago, he was still a top-tier expert!"

"What?! A Seven-Star Dou Sheng?!"

Venerable Feng Xian exclaimed in shock, and Yao Chen and the others were also filled with astonishment. Was this Dou Sheng really such a top-tier expert?

"Senior Zhuyan, what do you mean?"

Zi Yan was also filled with curiosity. Even though her old man was countless times stronger than a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, she was still very shocked by the fact that a Seven-Star Dou Sheng had died.

"That's right, Your Highness!"

Zhu Yan slowly stepped forward, his aura gradually surging, as if he was about to unleash a devastating attack!

"Do you still remember the ancient dragon senior at the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit? My dragon race, like the ancient Heavenly Phoenix, places great importance on the physical bodies of our kin. When we grow old and are about to die, we go to the Dragon Tomb for our final breakthrough!"

"If the breakthrough is unsuccessful, then everything will remain there, waiting for future generations to pick up the mantle of the old dragon and carry on their legacy to once again make a name for themselves across the continent!"

Therefore, almost every dragon's final resting place is in a dragon tomb!

"However, tens of thousands of years ago, a prodigy who had reached the level of a five-star Dou Sheng mysteriously disappeared and did not return for many years!"

"He was my great-grandfather!"

"It was the ancient dragon that gave birth to the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit!"

"Your Highness Ziyan, the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit is no ordinary treasure. Only when an ancient dragon at the Dou Sheng level meets a Heavenly Phoenix and dies together can there be a one in ten thousand chance of it being conceived!"

"The fact that this Dou Sheng's ruins can withstand attacks from two five-star Dou Sheng level beings demonstrates the power of this small world!"

As Zhu Yan spoke, he walked towards a secluded corner of the main hall where the person sitting cross-legged was completely ignoring the corpse of the Dou Sheng in the center of the hall. His aura grew stronger and stronger!

"Moreover, this remnant soul of a Battle Saint is still alive!"

"You cowardly coward, get out here now!"

Zhu Yan's loud shout echoed throughout the hall, leaving everyone deeply shocked. They had never imagined that this ancient Dou Sheng's realm was so close to that of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng.

Furthermore, according to Senior Zhuyan, that remnant soul of the Dou Sheng is actually still alive!

This was truly beyond Lin Feng's expectations. In the original story, it seemed that the Creation Saint only had one more attack left.

Even a four- or five-star Dou Zun like the Star-Picking Old Ghost could have his arm regenerated from a severed body by that attack. So, for Lin Feng now, this Creation Saint is no less than a little minotaur!

However, as a peak five-star Dou Sheng expert, Zhu Yan was very knowledgeable and experienced, so there was no possibility that he would make a mistake.

Then there's only one possibility: the Creator Saint was killed by the explosion!

As for why the people who broke into the main hall were not killed in the original work, it may be because they were unaware of the current power distribution on the continent.

Or perhaps it is because of the long years that it has become too weak, and if it uses too much power, it will die instantly.

After Zhu Yan spoke, the hall remained silent, and even Lin Feng did not let his guard down.

Even if three drops of Dragon Emperor Zhukun's essence blood were used together to attack a Dou Sheng who was close to the seven-star level, he would be killed instantly.

"call"

After a long while, the hall remained completely silent; one could even hear the breathing of the people inside.

"Since you won't come out, then you'll have to take a hit from my Dragon Seal first!"

As soon as Zhu Yan finished speaking, his aura suddenly surged, and his hands quickly formed hand seals!

"Why"

Just as Zhu Yan's dragon seal was about to materialize, an aged sigh suddenly appeared before everyone.

Immediately afterwards, an aged soul, exuding an aura of decline, slowly floated up from below the main hall.

However, Lin Feng's pupils contracted sharply, and his expression changed drastically!

Because, in his perception through the power of his Heavenly Realm soul, the aura of this ancient soul body seemed to be completely different from that of the Creation Saint!

"The powerhouses of the Ancient Void Dragon are indeed extremely domineering!"

The moment this ancient soul appeared, it immediately saw through Zhu Yan's identity, seemingly trying to intimidate him.

"Lin Feng, observe that old man's soul carefully; it seems somewhat similar to the description of a Great Perfection Heaven Realm cultivator in the Pill Tower!"

Just then, Yao Chen's voice suddenly appeared in Lin Feng's ears, and his words made Lin Feng's expression change.

"The Great Perfection of the Celestial Realm?"

Lin Feng observed carefully and indeed found some differences. He couldn't see through this soul body. Even though it was somewhat thin and transparent, it still gave him a feeling that it was difficult to defeat.

"Young friend, you are right. My soul power once reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, and I was only one step away from breaking through to the legendary Emperor Realm!"

Just then, the aged figure seemed to see through Yao Chen's telepathic message and looked directly at the two of them.

After seeing Yao Chen's soul, he showed a hint of interest, but when he saw Lin Feng, his eyes revealed a hint of amazement.

"At such a young age, you have already cultivated a Celestial Soul. Young man, the task of saving the world in the future may very well fall upon your shoulders!"

Inside the main hall of the ancient ruins, all was silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward. Lin Feng, in particular, had a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, and felt as if several horse-shaped demonic beasts were trampling wildly in his heart.

"Cough cough."

Seemingly sensing the subtle atmosphere, the aged soul coughed a few times before speaking.

"Gentlemen, there's no need to be wary. I am not some great villain. In fact, this small world of ruins was created by me!"

"What?!"

The crowd gasped in surprise, but Zhu Yan's face showed a knowing expression, as if he was not surprised at all.

After thinking for a while, Lin Feng suddenly realized the truth.

"So that's how it is. The aura of that Creation Saint doesn't seem to be as strong as Elder Qingshan's. It turns out the owner of this ancient ruin is someone else!"

"Who exactly are you, and why did you hide yourself for so long?"

Zhu Yan's expression remained unchanged, but his powerful aura had somehow subsided, as if he had known something.

"I am the Celestial Saint! The twenty-sixth sect master of the Ancient Puppet Sect. Have you all heard of me?"

As if something of pride had been mentioned, the aura of old age on that ancient soul, or rather, the Heavenly Saint, vanished, replaced by a powerful and ancient aura.

"I have naturally heard of the Puppet Sect's reputation, and I have even fought against one of your sect's Dou Sheng experts and his Dou Sheng puppet."

Zhu Yan's expression remained calm and indifferent, but as a wise old dragon, Elder Qingshan could detect a hint of pride in it.

"However, the Puppet Sect has now been wiped out!"

"Haha, it's true!"

However, to everyone's surprise, the Heavenly Saint's face showed a look of understanding, and even a hint of excitement.

Upon seeing this, everyone exchanged glances, all of them seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

"Could it be that this Celestial Saint has lost his way over the long years?"

Thinking of this, everyone became slightly wary, and their gazes unconsciously fell on Zhu Yan.

On the scene, only Zhu Yan was able to suppress this ancient soul!

"You need not do this. I have little strength left. The only reason I remain is to pass on the secret techniques of the Puppet Sect!"

Hearing the explanation from the Heavenly Saint, Xiao Yan's eyes showed some doubt. He touched the storage ring on his hand, where a Soul Infant Demon Fruit lay quietly in the box.

The Heavenly Saint's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately noticed Xiao Yan's confusion.

"Hahaha, little guy, there's no need to be confused. When your soul realm reaches the Heavenly Realm, especially someone like me who has reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm or even has one foot in the Emperor Realm."

"Although soul power is strong, ordinary spiritual beings find it difficult to recover from injuries!"

A bead of cold sweat dripped down Xiao Yan's face. These ancient old guys were indeed all like geniuses; with just a few small movements, they could see right through a person's thoughts.

"Isn't there any way to save our senior?"

Lin Feng suddenly spoke up, a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

"Young man, my condition is not only due to the lack of soul power, but also because my soul's lifespan is coming to an end!"

The Heavenly Saint stroked his beard and smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned.

At this moment, everyone suddenly remembered what Zhu Yan had said: this ancient ruin seemed to have existed for more than 10,000 years. It seemed that this Heavenly Saint had not achieved the legendary Soul Emperor Realm, and coupled with the fact that his soul seemed to be damaged, he was indeed difficult to save.

"Young man, what is your name? Are you an alchemist, a weapon refiner, or a puppeteer? What level of skill do you possess?"

At this moment, the Heavenly Saint suddenly looked at Lin Feng and asked a series of questions.

"Senior, my name is Lin Feng, an eighth-grade, nine-colored alchemist!"

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad at all. To have mastered such alchemy at such a young age, it seems you truly are a wonderful surprise sent by heaven to this old man and the Puppet Sect!"

The Heavenly Saint laughed loudly, his entire soul seemingly becoming somewhat crystalline.

"Lin Feng, are you willing to accept my inheritance and that of the Puppet Sect?"

Then, before Lin Feng could think, the Heavenly Saint spoke again, completely dispelling Lin Feng's concerns.

"Rest assured, the Puppet Sect is destined to disappear into the annals of the Dou Qi Continent. However, the puppetry techniques that have reached their peak must not be extinguished!"

"No need for apprenticeship. If you are unwilling to cultivate this puppetry technique, you can pass on this inheritance to any young person with talent like yours in the future!"

"In that case, thank you for transmitting the Dharma, senior!"

Since the Heavenly Saint had spoken to this extent, Lin Feng no longer hesitated, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and showed a respectful expression!

More importantly, he received a telepathic message from Zhuyan, assuring him that he was safe.

Otherwise, even if this Heavenly Saint possessed the opportunity to become a saint, Lin Feng would refuse without hesitation.

"Buzz"

Seeing Lin Feng's respectful demeanor, the Heavenly Saint stroked his beard slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face. He then quickly formed hand seals, and a ray of light slowly floated up from his body.

Before anyone could see clearly, it shot out and disappeared into Lin Feng's brow in the blink of an eye.

Lin Feng sensed it carefully and discovered a ball of light quietly floating deep within his soul sea. With a slight mental perception, he discovered that it contained a vast amount of knowledge.

Apart from that, there were no other means left!

Seeing this, Lin Feng breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

Even with Zhu Yan's guarantee, if his soul power hadn't reached the Heavenly Realm and if there weren't a few drops of Dragon Emperor's essence blood suppressing him in his mind, he would still have been in serious trouble.

Furthermore, since the Heavenly Saint was indeed old and frail and had little power left, he really dared not let that light enter his mind.

"Hahaha, so the puppetry techniques of the Puppet Sect haven't been completely eradicated!"

The Heavenly Saint laughed heartily, but his aged body began to fade at an extremely rapid pace.

"Senior, you..."

"Don't worry about it!"

The gradually disappearing soul of the Heavenly Saint waved his hand, his face full of carefree ease.

"Now that the secret techniques of the Puppet Sect have been passed down, let me tell you about the past of the Puppet Sect!"

Seeing this, everyone listened attentively, for a sage who had survived since ancient times must know many secrets.

Even without specific secret methods, it is enough to broaden one's horizons and may be of great use to future cultivation.

"The Puppet Sect, even I find it difficult to trace back to when it was founded."

"It is only known that, in the very beginning, the Dou Di (Battle Emperor) seemed to still exist!"

Upon hearing the term "Battle Emperor," the crowd was excited, but none of them interrupted, because the soul of the Heavenly Saint was rapidly fading.

"However, whether it was a cruel twist of fate or something else, the Puppet Sect has never produced a Dou Di level expert throughout its long history!"

"And this foreshadowed the annihilation of the Puppet Sect!"

At this point, a hint of desolation, yet also a sense of nonchalance, appeared on the face of the Heavenly Saint.

"I wonder which sect leader was alive when an unparalleled genius appeared," the Heavenly Saint glanced at Lin Feng's figure and continued, "At your age, he also reached the Heavenly Realm Soul stage, but his battle qi cultivation had already entered the true Battle Saint realm!"

"This is the most talented person in the history of the Puppet Sect. Many Dou Sheng elders have placed their hopes for the emergence of a Dou Di on him."

"As expected, in just a few hundred years, he reached the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm! His soul realm also naturally entered the Emperor realm!"

"Judging from this situation, it seems that his becoming an emperor is already foreseeable!"

"However, it seemed as if the heavens were under a curse. In the following thousands of years, although he took another half step forward, achieving the invincible Half-Emperor realm below the Dou Di level!"

"However, no matter what methods they used, they still couldn't sense even the slightest sign of a breakthrough!"

"Several thousand years have passed, and it has begun to enter the ten thousand years. At this time, the half-emperor ancestor of the Puppet Sect has already found out why he could not become an emperor."

At this point, the Heavenly Saint suddenly fell silent, seemingly lost in thought, or perhaps seething with anger. A complex mix of emotions swirled within him, making it difficult to express.

The people who heard this were extremely shocked. The ancient Puppet Sect had actually produced the strongest person below the Dou Di level—a Half-Emperor!

There is such a powerful expert in the world!

Even Zhu Yan was filled with shock, because the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan also had records about half-emperors.

Even the Dragon Emperor of that time seemed to sigh, although he was half a step ahead of the peak of a normal nine-star Dou Sheng, he was still a little short of the invincible Half Emperor below Dou Di!

Lin Feng's shocked face was filled with disbelief.

"The reason why a half-emperor cannot become an emperor—could it be that this half-emperor from the Puppet Sect has sensed the Origin Qi?"

"According to the records left by the Half-Emperor Ancestor, in the distant past, a great war that affected the entire Dou Qi Continent occurred."

"The entire Dou Qi Continent seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Even though the great war eventually subsided, the Dou Qi Continent lost a very high-level energy as a result."

"And to become an emperor, one needs the existence of this high-level energy!"

"Therefore, even with his unparalleled talent, the Half-Emperor Ancestor gradually began to despair!"

"If things ended here, although the Puppet Sect's puppet-making was cruel, it was done using the corpses of enemies, so it wouldn't have incurred the wrath of heaven and man, ultimately leading to its annihilation!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly came to their senses and realized that what the Heavenly Saint was about to say was likely the real reason for the annihilation of the Ancient Puppet Sect.

"Even the most gentle person can become paranoid if they fall into madness and become a half-emperor."

"Moreover, the people of my Puppet Sect are inherently unrestrained, existing in both righteous and evil ways!"

Suddenly, an extremely domineering aura emanated from the Heavenly Saint, as if he truly intended to control the world.

"After hundreds of years of decline, the Half-Emperor Ancestor finally devised a method to become an Emperor—an extremely insane one!"

"That is... an Emperor-level puppet!"

"hiss"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock and stared in disbelief.

Among them, Yao Chen, Lin Feng, Zhu Yan, and Elder Qingshan were all extremely shocked.

They already had a vague idea of ​​the method for creating this Emperor-level puppet, or rather, the raw materials required.

"You guessed right!"

At this moment, the Heavenly Saint's tone softened. He felt a mixture of admiration and resentment towards the madness of this half-emperor ancestor, a complex and difficult-to-express emotion.

"Although the Dou Qi Continent no longer has the high-level energy that can make people become Dou Di, before that great war, although Dou Di powerhouses were not everywhere, it was still quite common for several Dou Di to appear at the same time in an era."

"In addition, Dou Di have long lifespans, and over the long years, there are still many Dou Di powerhouses."

"As the number of powerful individuals increases, conflicts naturally arise, and with conflicts come deaths and injuries. Many Dou Di powerhouses, after their deaths, will place their corpses deep within the small world of their own clan to protect their descendants!"

"And the ancestor of the Half-Emperors set his sights on the bodies of these Battle Emperors!"

"Although the source energy has disappeared, even if the former emperors have died, their physical bodies are still emperor-level bodies."

"If we could use the corpse of a Dou Di to capture a soul at the Emperor level, and combine it with an Emperor-level magic core!"

"With the addition of numerous wondrous artifacts nurtured by heaven and earth, perhaps the world's first puppet at the level of a Dou Di will emerge!"

Lin Feng and the others were all speechless with shock. An Emperor-level puppet!

To actually attempt to refine a puppet from the corpse of a Dou Di—even if he fails, such madness and such audacity make him a first-rate hero in the world!

Of course, for the descendants of the Dou Di family, this half-emperor and the Puppet Sect truly deserve to die!

"Although the Half-Emperor Ancestor was mad, he had not lost his mind. He knew that a Dou Di would definitely leave powerful means for his descendants to protect them!"

Even if he achieves the power of a half-emperor, he still needs to be absolutely certain of success in the face of the methods left behind by a Dou Di!

"So the Half-Emperor Ancestor spent a hundred years refining three puppets at the level of Eight-Star Dou Sheng. Of course, the overlord of the Beast Domain was also offended by the Half-Emperor Ancestor because of this."

"Even in ancient times, there wouldn't be so many magical beasts at the Dou Sheng level that they would be rampant."

"The five-star Dou Sheng level Taixu Ancient Dragon and Ancient Heavenly Phoenix were captured by the Half-Emperor Ancestor at that time. The Ancestor originally planned to cultivate them to at least eight-star Dou Sheng, and then take their demon cores and essence blood to create Half-Emperor level puppets."

"If they succeed, the Puppet Sect might actually be able to create an Emperor-level puppet!"

"It's a pity that the ancestor's major actions over the past century have naturally aroused the fear and anger of many imperial clans and beast domain overlords."

"After a battle to wipe out the Puppet Sect, the Ancestor could no longer restrain himself and directly launched an attack on the Imperial Clan to seize the body of the Dou Di."

"Back then, there seemed to be forty or fifty imperial clans, but now it seems there are only seven left!"

"Aside from the imperial clans that naturally disappeared due to the decline of their bloodline, many imperial clans were destroyed by their half-emperor ancestors and vanished from the Dou Qi Continent!"

The shock reverberated deep within everyone's hearts. This half-emperor powerhouse of the Puppet Sect was truly domineering to the extreme!

Even the descendants of the Dou Di, because of his crazy idea, want to sever their bloodline and inheritance!

"Such actions naturally invite an attack from the descendants of Dou Di. Although this half-emperor repelled the alliance of Dou Di descendants and even eliminated many of them, he himself suffered irreparable damage!"

"A hundred years from now, it will have vanished!"

"Senior, then why the Puppet Sect and Emperor-level puppets?"

Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, then voiced the doubts of the crowd.

"You could say that the Emperor-level puppet has been successfully created, or you could say that it hasn't!"

"What do you mean, senpai?"

Someone, unable to contain their confusion and excitement, couldn't help but ask.

That's normal, considering this is a Dou Di powerhouse who disappeared from the Dou Qi Continent for countless years.

Among these people, even the strongest, Zhu Yan, is nothing more than an ant in front of a Dou Di.

Hearing some news about the Dou Di at this moment, they naturally wanted to know more.

"After the Half-Emperor Ancestor destroyed roughly ten Dou Di families, he obtained five Emperor Corpses with relatively complete energy."

"As for the Emperor Realm soul, it's much simpler. Back then, while achieving the Emperor Realm soul was extremely difficult within the Dou Di families, it wasn't to the point that there were only three to five people with it across the entire Dou Di Continent!"

"However, the Emperor-level magic core posed a challenge for the Half-Emperor Ancestor. The Heavenly Demon Phoenix among the demon beast families was manageable, but the power of the Ancient Void Dragon exceeded the Half-Emperor Ancestor's imagination!"

"In the end, they only used an eight-star Dou Sheng level magic core, which is said to have come from the ancient Heavenly Serpent clan!"

"Could it be that he actually succeeded in creating an Emperor-level puppet?"

Even Zhu Yan was somewhat shocked at this moment. This was a Dou Di, whose power far exceeded his imagination!

He also learned the reason for the disappearance of the five-star Dou Sheng level Taixu Ancient Dragon. It turned out that it had been captured by a half-emperor. No wonder it was so difficult to trace the Taixu Ancient Dragon's use of space!

"The power of a Dou Di is something no human can even dream of!"

At this point, a look of fear and confusion appeared on the face of the Heavenly Saint, who muttered to himself.

Upon seeing this, Lin Feng and the others exchanged glances, a hint of doubt appearing in their eyes. Could there be some unforeseen change in the situation?

"Trying to glimpse the heavens with a human body will surely backfire!"

"The puppet was made from the corpses of five Dou Di, combined with an Emperor-level soul. Although the magic core did not reach the Emperor level, the high-level energy within the Dou Di corpses had long since dissipated."

"However, when the puppet was born, the scene of a Battle Emperor being born still appeared!"

Above the entire Dou Qi Continent, a colossal golden body floated slowly, its eyes tightly closed. Even a Dou Sheng expert couldn't make out its appearance!

At this point, the Heavenly Saint showed no joy whatsoever; instead, his face was filled with fear.

It's unbelievable that, according to Zhu Yan, the Heavenly Saint was close to a Seven-Star Dou Sheng in his lifetime, and his soul had reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, or even had one foot in the Emperor Realm. Yet, he would have such an expression on his face.

Lin Feng's pupils contracted sharply. The situation described by the Heavenly Saint was clearly the grand occasion of a Dou Di powerhouse being born.

"Could it be that a half-Emperor level expert can really create a puppet at the Dou Di level?"

As if aware of Lin Feng's doubts, the Heavenly Saint continued to speak.

"Without that mysterious energy, it would be absolutely impossible to become a Dou Di!"

"However, relying on the physical body of a Dou Di, that puppet actually far surpassed its predecessors who were at the Half-Emperor level!"

"More importantly, that puppet is out of control!"

"The day the puppet is mastered will be the end of the Puppet Sect. The Dou Di is the most revered person on the Dou Qi Continent. How can his corpse be allowed to be trampled upon by others after his death!"

"The puppet, forged from the corpses of five emperors, emitted an extremely terrifying black aura the moment it was born—the resentment of the insulted corpses of the Dou Di!"

"In the blink of an eye, the sky above the Dou Qi Continent was enveloped, and the half-emperor ancestor who created the puppet suffered a backlash and was severely injured!"

"The Emperor-level puppet seemed to have intelligence and attacked the Puppet Sect directly. If it weren't for the Half-Emperor Ancestor's decisive action in self-destructing five Eight-Star Dou Sheng level puppets, the Puppet Sect would have been wiped out."

"And that Emperor-level puppet seemed to be affected by the black energy; its intelligence was solely focused on slaughter, resulting in the deaths of most of the people in the eastern part of the Dou Qi Continent!"

"If this energy is allowed to continue its killing spree, the entire Dou Qi Continent will probably be wiped out. And the Half-Emperor Ancestor, after recovering from his injuries, will awaken from his madness of becoming an Emperor."

"Looking at the devastated Dou Qi Continent, his eyes were filled with guilt."

"Under these circumstances, the Half-Emperor Ancestor approached the remaining twenty-odd imperial clans and revealed his plan—the Demon Puppet!"

Demonic Puppet: An extremely cruel method of puppet making, created by the first sect leader of the Puppet Sect. It uses the puppeteer themselves as the primary material, combining their flesh and blood with a strange, self-healing metal, thus preserving their intelligence. Because of the extreme cruelty of the process, it is called a Demonic Puppet!

"After concealing the Puppet Sect's small world, the Half-Emperor Ancestor approached many imperial clans and informed them of his plan."

"While many imperial clans harbor no goodwill towards the Imperial Emperor who seized the Emperor's corpse, they know that if they allow that puppet to continue its rampage, even if they hide within the Dou Di Small World, they will eventually be found!"

"Moreover, many powerful figures hold a degree of respect for the Great Emperor Yutian, who transformed himself into a puppet for the sake of the continent!"

"Therefore, the remaining imperial clans all brought out the corpses of Dou Di (Battle Emperors) as aids for the Great Emperor Yutian in refining demonic puppets!"

"With the blessing of a strange space capable of altering time, the demonic puppet was born in just one month in the outside world!"

"The crimson mist stretched endlessly across the sky. Although the towering figure of the crimson demonic puppet stood only in the vast eastern ocean, it seemed that everyone on the entire Dou Qi Continent could sense its presence!"

"roar"

The ten-thousand-foot-tall figure, entirely golden in color but shrouded in black mist, seemed to sense the appearance of its adversary. It roared to the sky, shaking the void for hundreds of thousands of miles around.
