I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

His scarlet eyes held an indifferent expression as he coldly surveyed the entire Heavenly Puppet Sect.

Until a beam of red light condensed from that eyeball, and then exploded with a roar!

Sizzle—!

A sudden burst of vibrations mixed with electronic music came, and a fierce red light seemed to pierce through the entire earth in just an instant!

The mountain where the main hall of the Heavenly Puppet Sect is located began to tremble completely at this moment, as if the sky were collapsing!

Feng Qi, whose face had been beaming with joy, suddenly froze at this moment.

"No... This martial art is extremely difficult to master. My master spent half his life studying it and only just got the basics. It's definitely not this powerful."

"Who else could it be but Master?!"

This martial art has been a secret of the Heavenly Puppet Sect for many years, and logically speaking, no one else should know it.

Before he could think any further, the iron golem charged at him again, forcing him to temporarily withdraw his attention and focus on defending himself.

At this very moment, the red light was sweeping through the very center.

Yang Dingtian struggled to erect a light barrier to defend himself. Although he seemed to be handling the situation with ease, his heart was filled with turmoil.

No one understands the intricacies of this martial art better than him.

He had studied for many years and barely managed to get the basics down, but what appeared before him was the Annihilation Eye at the Great Perfection level!

If the user weren't lacking in strength, they absolutely wouldn't be able to withstand it.

The strength of the user...

"How could someone at the mere ninth realm possibly unleash a complete Heaven-rank martial art? Even draining you dry wouldn't be enough."

"What is your origin? You can't possibly be from the human realm; this world cannot tolerate such an illogical existence!"

Outside the light, Li Hao looked at him indifferently.

"A mere ninth realm? That's true. For someone at the peak of the twelfth realm like you, the ninth realm is indeed no different from a maggot."

"Old man, you still dare to curse me at a time like this? Since you're asking for death, you can't blame anyone else."

Yang Dingtian was suddenly terrified: "Wait! I didn't insult you. Isn't your comprehension a bit...?"

However, before he could finish speaking, Li Hao had already raised his hand and thrown a punch!

The invisible force of the punch, coupled with the unassuming numerical values, was exactly as expected.

This punch split the main peak of the Heavenly Puppet Sect in half, and the huge crack traveled forward with the force of the punch until it slammed hard into the bedrock wall.

Bedrock walls, nothing happens.

But Yang Dingtian, the target, got into trouble.

The moment the fist struck, he used all his skills, creating numerous barriers in front of him.

Without exception, they all shattered the moment they came into contact with the force of the punch! They didn't even last a second!

The remaining force, undiminished in power, was poured onto him, engulfing him as he slammed violently into the bedrock wall.

puff!

A large mouthful of fresh blood spurted out!

Li Hao used only one punch to leave this peak twelfth realm expert severely injured and on the verge of death!

However, he didn't die, not because he was tough enough.

Instead, Li Hao held back.

This guy is definitely going to die, but there's one more thing he needs to do.

Yang Dingtian felt his vision blur and almost lost his balance, falling towards the ground.

Before it could land, it was restrained by a domineering force and flew out uncontrollably, crashing heavily onto the ground in front of the warehouse.

Feng Qi, who was still struggling to hold on, finally saw Yang Dingtian's condition and felt a chill in his heart.

"master!"

He cried out in grief and indignation, and in that instant of distraction, three iron golems simultaneously swung their simple, unadorned fists.

boom!

The iron golem's fists were unreasonably hard; after taking three solid punches, Feng Qi was instantly seriously injured!

Just as the iron golem was about to smash him into mincemeat, Li Hao's voice came.

"Throw it over here."

The iron golem was very obedient; it immediately changed its fist into a claw, grabbed Feng Qi's arm, and threw him over there.

Feng Qi flew over like a cannonball, and Li Hao simply raised his hand to catch him and then tossed him next to Yang Dingtian.

Immediately afterwards, Li Hao took out over a thousand monster-spawning eggs and scattered them out.

Thousands of brand-new iron brothers have appeared again!

Upon witnessing this scene.

Everyone's spirits were completely dead.

These are over a thousand puppets at the peak of the twelfth realm!

With such a lineup, sweeping across the four realms would be a piece of cake. So what can they possibly do?

"Those who aren't dead, beat them half to death and send them over."

At Li Hao's command, numerous iron golems rushed out.

The rest of the Heavenly Puppet Sect members had lost their will to fight, and faced with such a huge gap in strength, they were naturally unable to resist.

Not long after.

The remaining tens of thousands of survivors from the Heavenly Puppet Sect were all driven over and knelt down in a dense, orderly fashion, facing the still-burning giant warehouse.

The huge square was already too big to hold all these people, and they spread down the steps.

Li Hao no longer looked at them, but his aura was no longer concealed in the slightest, intimidating the entire audience.

The noisy Heavenly Puppet Sect finally quieted down. This sect, which had been passed down for tens of thousands of years and was once a magnificent and powerful force, was reduced to a group of defeated soldiers in less than half a day.

The meticulously restored and created secluded paradise is now nothing but ruins.

The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and the stench of blood was pungent.

Li Hao turned back to look at the raging fire and sighed deeply.

Then, he raised his hand.

The bedrock that had protected the survivors was reclaimed.

With another wave of his hand, milk flew out, and Li Hao used his power to control it, forcibly forcing it down their throats.

Although the methods were somewhat brutal, these people were already terrified, and they probably wouldn't understand anything if you tried to talk to them at this point.

Until the milk takes effect.

Their state of "extreme panic" dissipated; although fear remained, at least their minds had returned to normal.

After processing everything that had happened, they rushed over and knelt before Li Hao.

"Thank you, senior!"

"We have no way to repay your life-saving grace, senior. Please take whatever you wish!"

Faced with their heartfelt gratitude, Li Hao simply raised his hand slightly, signaling them to stop.

Then, Li Hao turned around and looked at Yang Dingtian and Feng Qi.

"Both of you have served as sect leaders of the Heavenly Puppet Sect."

"Now I ask you questions, and you answer me honestly."

"How much do you know about this matter, and what is your stance?"

The injuries to both of them were so severe that even moving was now a luxury.

They understood that they could not escape this calamity no matter what.

At this moment, there's a feeling of "what's the use of trying?"

Feng Qi's injuries were slightly less severe, and he spoke with difficulty.

"Of course I know everything, so what?"

"Li Hao, look at them! They're nothing but ants. In this vast human realm, how many ants like them are there? Countless!"

"You actually dared to harm the Heavenly Puppet Sect for a bunch of ants? Do you know how many years it takes to cultivate two twelfth-realm cultivators in the Heavenly Puppet Sect? Do you know how many resources it takes?"

"How many realms of twelve are there in the human realm? Without the two of us, how will we face the upcoming great struggle?"

"Relying on you? I admit you're very powerful. With these puppets, the combined forces of humans, demons, spirits, and monsters are no match for you. Of course, you can freely control everything that follows."

"You think you're so great, doing whatever you want, and leaving whenever you're bored? But have you ever thought about how many lives your capriciousness is killing!"

"We've only killed a few ants; you can kill countless times more with a single word!"

"You're having a blast being the hero here today, but in essence, how are you any different from us!"

Faced with Feng Qi's questioning, Li Hao simply shook his head speechlessly.

"If you say there's no difference, then there's no difference."

Feng Qi was suddenly stunned: "What do you mean?"

Li Hao said, "It doesn't mean anything. Whatever you think is just your own wishful thinking. What meaning does it have for me?"

"The so-called good and evil are merely standards of judgment created by humankind."

"It's like pouring boiling water on an ant nest. To the ants, you're absolutely disgusting, but would you care?"

"There is only one truth in the world: whoever is stronger is the one who holds the truth."

"You are strong, so you can capture them, torture them at will, and turn them into puppets."

"I am strong, so I want to destroy your Heavenly Puppet Sect, and I will destroy your Heavenly Puppet Sect."

"If you think this question is meaningful, then go ahead and argue about it. But I find it extremely boring to argue with others."

Feng Qi was completely stunned. His words just now were not just a simple venting, but also a deliberate attempt to undermine his spirit.

After all, Li Hao was willing to go to such lengths for a bunch of ants, which clearly showed that he was a typical chivalrous person. If he could be persuaded with words, there might still be a chance for a turnaround.

Sophistry, that's what leaders are best at.

But Li Hao gave him a resounding slap.

No matter what you say, they just ignore it.

They're not taking the bait!

Feng Qi smiled bitterly. If even this last resort had failed, then... he could only wait to die.

Li Hao then looked at the others and said, "It's about time. Come over here, kowtow and admit your mistakes, and then die."

"I'm tired. Don't try anything funny at the last minute, or I'll really get angry."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hao waved his hand, scattering dozens of wooden swords that landed in front of the group of survivors.

"Revenge if you have a grudge, and seek justice if you have a wrong."

Li Hao ignored them and took Tie Ge and Xiao Wei to the side.

Here, the survivors looked at the people of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, their hearts filled with surging anger.

Until several women suddenly drew their wooden swords and came to Feng Qi and Yang Dingtian.

"Apologize!"

"repent!"

Two dignified beings at the twelfth realm were now being forcibly dragged to their knees by a group of women at the first and second realms, forced to kowtow heavily before the towering flames.

After kowtowing three times, he slashed off the head with a single sword strike.

The rest of the Heavenly Puppet Sect members trembled with fear at the sight.

Most of them were injured, some seriously and some lightly.

Those who were too heavy to move could only be forcibly dragged to kowtow and die.

At best, they can resist.

But the surrounding army of iron golems told them that resistance would only lead to an even more gruesome death.

They could only kneel here, like lambs, awaiting their sentence.

At that time, just like now.

The only difference is that those who were standing and those who were kneeling have switched places.

……

Li Hao didn't pay much attention to it. After going to the side, he took out a large pile of materials and started fiddling with them.

He had already learned the puppetry techniques of the Heavenly Puppet Sect; it was just a matter of putting on a show, no trouble at all.

After a series of clanging sounds, he waved.

"Hey bro, come here."

Tie Ge came over excitedly, and Li Hao immediately gave him a makeover.

Li Hao: "Speak."

Tie Ge: "Eat it."

Li Hao: ?

"Who do you think you are? Are you asking for trouble?"

Tie Ge immediately panicked, gesturing wildly: "The entire Huanglongjiang area is equipped with Bluetooth..."

Li Hao stared at him for two seconds, then suddenly realized what he meant.

"I think I plugged it in the wrong place, so your language module is currently messed up, and what you want to say is different from what you say."

"Lower your head."

Tie Ge quickly lay down, and Li Hao quickly adjusted himself.

"It should be alright now, speak."

"What are you saying?"

"OK, all set."

He told him to get up, and Li Hao simply took out a chair and sat down. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he produced a paper book.

"This is a memoir of a senior member of the Heavenly Puppet Sect that we found earlier."

"Although it's a bit messy, the information inside is very valuable, and I also discovered something very interesting."

This senior from the Heavenly Puppet Sect has a very interesting research focus.

That is, how to turn a "puppet" into a "person".

The theoretical process is quite simple: first, the puppet is given a soul, and then, through a method similar to possession, the soul is given a physical body and becomes a human.

Unfortunately, while the theory exists, the practice is not. The very first step—how ​​to give the puppet a soul—has been a stumbling block for tens of thousands of years, and it remains unsolved to this day.

Although it still seems like a pipe dream, this thing has given Li Hao some inspiration.

Do Tie Ge and Xiao Wei have souls?

Of course not, at least not in the conventional sense.

But they possess something comparable to a soul: a core of wisdom.

This thing is not just about giving puppets intelligence; in a sense, it's like a computer's hard drive.

Their memories and thoughts are all inside; even if they have a different exterior, they are still themselves.

Well then, this will be fun.

"It was all by chance that I had this opportunity. I just happened to unlock the Wisdom Core, I just happened to get this notebook, and I just happened to have the Chaotic Yellow Soil and the Three Lives Tree."

"I feel there's an opportunity to turn you into real people. Do you share this idea?"

Tie Ge scratched his head and immediately refused: "I won't change. I think my body is fine, it's so refreshing."

As he spoke, he bent his arm, trying to show off his biceps.

But he clearly forgot that he was a block of iron and didn't have biceps at all.

Xiao Wei, on the other hand, looks almost identical to a human, but her essence is different.

After some thought, she took a deep breath and nodded emphatically.

"I want to be a human being, I want to become a real human being."

"I want to feel the breeze and the fragrance of flowers, I want to feel the warmth of my owner, I want to do everything that a human can do."

"Master, please help me..."

Holy crap, who can stand this?!

"Don't worry, I'm very confident."

"Now..." Li Hao pulled out a lump of chaotic yellow clay, "Will you do it or should I?"

Xiao Wei decisively said, "I'll do it."

Li Hao naturally had no objection and immediately gave her the Chaotic Yellow Soil, whispering, "Remember to make it big."
