Chapter 1185

Never mind, let it be a loss, now the non-bloodline Fighting Saint powerhouses on the Fighting Qi Continent are extremely rare, and those whose strength and physique can match the emission of the three Dragon Kings are even more nonexistent. This time, I will refine these bodies as well as possible.

Thinking of those ancient clan Fighting Saints, he needs to take them to boost his own strength, and other non-bloodline Fighting Saints are also very rare; Lin Feng gritted his teeth, then stretched out his palm, letting the battle qi inside his body surge out rapidly, forming a sharp blade nearly a hundred zhang long in the sky.

Pfft!

Immediately after, the sharp blade swiftly sliced across the sky, then straight pierced into the naturally gaping bloody maw that had opened due to death.

Although this Taixu Ancient Dragon's physique is extremely formidable, making ordinary attacks hard to damage, its interior, however, is not all that formidable for Lin Feng, a Five-star Dou Saint.

Therefore, under the fierce stab of this nearly hundred-zhang-long Dou Qi blade, it unsurprisingly pierced deep into its upper jaw, all the way inside.

Once the blade had penetrated deep into the corpse's head, Lin Feng immediately controlled the blade, continuously stirring around a solid object inside the corpse's brain.

In this process, the opening at the corpse's upper jaw grew larger and larger, until it surpassed the magic core inside the corpse's brain.

Bang!

Since the opening at the upper jaw was large enough, the magic core inside the corpse's brain unsurprisingly fell into the oral cavity.

Immediately after, Lin Feng swiftly reached out and summoned; a purple crystal the size of a human head flashed past the constantly raging silver lightning and landed in his palm.

As soon as the magic core entered his hand, he without the slightest hesitation quickly stored it into his spatial ring.

After dealing with this Taixu Ancient Dragon's corpse, Lin Feng did not linger; he immediately proceeded similarly on the other two corpses, until he had extracted the magic cores of all three Dragon Kings.

Having done that, Lin Feng immediately closed his eyes slightly, and a thread of soul sense entered the spatial ring in his bosom.

Whoosh!

Not long after, Lin Feng flipped his palm and took out three crystals that were extremely dark green, roughly the size of a human head.

As soon as these three magic cores appeared, the environment around Lin Feng quickly condensed into tiny snowflakes, which then, under gravity, gently drifted downward.

However, these snowflakes, before they had drifted for long in the thunder-filled void lightning pool, were shattered into nothing by the violent silver lightning.

"Using these three five-star Dou Saint-level ancient heavenly serpent magic cores to refine human puppets should considerably raise the upper limit of the puppets made from these three corpses. After all, the Taixu Ancient Dragon's physique is inherently formidable, and I also took the top-grade metallic materials from the warehouse on Dragon Island; combined, there's no way it could be lacking."

Gazing at the three dark green magic cores hovering above his palm, Lin Feng rested his other hand on his chin, lightly rubbing it as he muttered to himself.

After all, the physiques of these three Dragon Kings had already reached a remarkably terrifying level.

At least, aside from some cultivators who specialize in body training, even a Four-star Peak Dou Saint cannot match these three fellows.

The Taixu Ancient Dragon's bodily toughness has indeed reached a terrifying level!

Of course, although a Four-star Dou Saint cannot match the physiques of these three Dragon Kings, if they truly fought and the Dragon Kings were directly hit by the opponent's combat techniques, they would still be injured.

After all, physique is physique, but overall combat power is not solely determined by physique.

Soon after, Lin Feng shook his head to dispel those useless thoughts, then used his hand to push the magic core floating above his palm to one side, and lightly rubbed his palm against the spatial ring on his other hand.

Whoosh!

The next second, accompanied by a faint flash of light, hundreds of items shimmering with strange luster instantly floated in the midair before him.

These are the metallic materials Lin Feng prepared to use for refining puppets.

In front of him, under the gaze of the Elder in charge of the warehouse on Hao Yan and Dragon Island, he took out these materials.

This action caused the Elder guarding the warehouse on Dragon Island to feel extreme heartache.

Had it not been for their Dragon Lord's command and Lin Feng's great gratitude toward their Taixu Ancient Dragon clan, he would certainly not have allowed the former to take these things.

After all, some of these materials are so tough that even a Mid-stage Dou Saint would find them hard to destroy, showing how precious they are.

However, Lin Feng at this moment naturally had no leisure to recall the pained expression of that Ancient Dragon clan Elder.

After taking out the materials, Lin Feng's gaze immediately swept carefully over those metallic materials before him.

Only after confirming everything was correct did he nod in satisfaction.

Seeing that the materials were fine, Lin Feng's gaze then turned to the enormous purple beast carcass before him, devoid of vitality.

The faces of these three Dragon Kings, possibly due to the excruciating pain from being scorched by strange fire before death, still appear somewhat ferocious even now.

Moreover, Lin Feng, who has long since killed countless people and refined numerous puppets, naturally would not fear these.

After confirming everything was correct, he immediately called out in his mind: "Xiao Ling, wake up and get to work. Refine all the residual souls and impurities inside these three corpses."

Coming!

As soon as his words fell, a moment later a petite bronze-colored figure shot out from within Lin Feng's body and stopped beside him, with a soft "pfft!"

Upon seeing the three massive corpses before him, Xiao Ling opened his mouth, and a clump of bronze-colored flame sprayed out, then, swelling in the wind, it instantly transformed into a huge cauldron of fire in midair, enveloping one of the three massive bodies.

Sizzle-sizzle!

As soon as that body entered the cauldron, the surface of its purple skin burst forth with a sizzling sound from the burning fat.

At the same time, strands of blood plasma continuously seeped out from within the corpse, ultimately being refined into nothing by the high temperature inside the cauldron.

Regarding this scene, Lin Feng showed no reaction whatsoever, merely gazing at the scene before him with an indifferent look.

After all, with his rich experience in refining puppets, he naturally knew the process of refining human puppets inside out.

Knowing that this body would become increasingly solid and pure only after undergoing a single tempering step, thereby enhancing its defense while also dispelling the corpse qi and impurities within.

Although this tempering step appears simple, it actually consumed a full seven days of Lin Feng's time.

During these seven days, Xiao Ling almost ceaselessly used the strange fire to temper the massive body before him.

Moreover, during this process, the metallic materials before Lin Feng also decreased considerably.

And what was lost had already been thrown by him into the cauldron, merging with that body into one.

Of course, as the seven days of nonstop tempering passed, the originally huge body inside the cauldron also shrank by several rounds.

Nevertheless, even so, this purple Taixu Ancient Dragon corpse still appeared to be at least a hundred zhang in size.

However, for this situation, Lin Feng outside the cauldron, with a calm gaze, remained fixed on the beast's body within, which, under the strange fire's burning, presented a dark, black-iron-like hue.

Even though this body is no longer as massive as before, the visual impact of its now tighter, more solid muscles remains unparalleled.

"Tsk tsk, the blood inside this corpse has been completely infused by the strange fire's tempering into the muscles and bones, and moreover, so many precious metals have fused with its flesh. Its strength has thus risen another notch; setting aside combat power, based solely on physique, it already rivals a Five-star Dou Saint."

Looking at the dark body emitting faint oppressive aura, Lin Feng clicked his tongue.

However, his handsome face immediately showed a hint of a somewhat mysterious smile, then he directly passed Xiao Ling, controlling the strange fire wrapping that body as it gradually faded.

And Xiao Ling, upon seeing the scene, looked at the former with a puzzled little face.

"Boom!"

Just as Xiao Ling was about to ask, inside the fire cauldron where the strange fire had faded, the dark beast body with its eyes tightly shut suddenly opened its eyes and abruptly stood up.

"Lin Feng, thank you for further tempering my body and adding so much metal material. To repay you, I will let you witness the terror of this current form; if you must blame anything, blame your ignorance. I am the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon; the flesh is the soul, and the soul is the flesh. Now that my demon core has been taken, I can no longer survive, so I'll take you down below to scout the path first!"

Within the fire cauldron, the robust figure shimmering with black‑iron luster stood up, let out a wild laugh toward the heavens, then unleashed a punch with terrifying force that directly shattered the fire cauldron that Xiao Ling had formed.

And its sharp claw lunged toward Lin Feng's head!

"Heh, naive."

Seeing the opponent's naive appearance, Lin Feng immediately gave a slight smile; facing the fierce gust, he was oddly unperturbed, even feeling like laughing loudly.

And when that massive fist, as black as iron, was only a hundred zhang away from Lin Feng, he extended a finger and pointed into the distance.

Following that motion, the huge body that had burst from the broken cauldron before him suddenly stiffened, then halted immediately.

"Bang!"

In the next instant, dense copper‑colored flames, like seedlings breaking through the soil, surged out of its body without warning, enveloping its entire form.

The all‑penetrating flames then raced swiftly into its mind, surrounding the remnant soul that controlled the body.

"You scoundrel, what... what have you done to me?!"

Seeing the sudden turn of events in that flash of lightning, the blackened body—its dragon‑king identity momentarily hidden—instantly roared in angry surprise, outward fierce yet inward timid, toward the former.

"West Dragon King, you dare employ Soul‑Concealment techniques before my Heavenly Realm Great Perfection Soul; you overestimate the souls of your demonic beasts."

Having pointed out the origin of the body before him, Lin Feng couldn't help but sneer.

His soul power, compared to that of the West Dragon King, must be many times stronger, so how could he fail to detect the remnant soul evading inside the opponent?

He simply didn't need that remnant soul earlier; to avoid alerting the enemy, he chose not to expose it.

Because he was waiting for the right moment—the optimal time to fuse the remnant soul with the body. (Chapter end)
