Chapter 449: Preparation Before Hunting the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast

Immediately, he flicked his palm.

The teal flame instantly transformed into a fire dragon as thick as a man's waist.

It streaked through the air and landed on the surface of that corpse.

Then the flame completely enveloped the massive demon beast's body.

Because a Dou Zun-level Heavenly Demon Puppet is hard to forge, Lin Feng this time…

It took him almost six full days before he finally completed the forging of this puppet.

However, the result was very gratifying, granting him an additional Dou Zun-level combat power.

"Not bad, the combat power of this tiger-shaped Heavenly Demon Puppet is probably very close to a two-star Dou Zun."

Gazing at the massive golden tiger-shaped puppet he had forged, Lin Feng patted its hard exterior and then laughed.

Although he could not precisely sense the exact strength of the Heavenly Demon Puppet before him.

He could feel, however, that its power was only a notch weaker than the Supreme Elder of the Sandy Golden Tail Scorpion Tribe.

Based on that, he could roughly determine the puppet's strength.

Immediately, he turned to Xiao Yixian and said, "Xian Er, this Heavenly Demon Puppet is yours for self‑defense; drop a drop of your fresh blood on it to complete the master‑recognition ceremony."

"Alright."

Xiao Yixian nodded, then instantly extended a jade‑white finger.

With a gentle flick of her finger, a drop of bright red blood silently shot out and landed on the puppet's forehead.

As her blood seeped into the tiger‑shaped puppet's forehead, its head immediately bowed toward Xiao Yixian, then it crawled down to the ground.

Seeing the master‑recognition succeed, Xiao Yixian promptly commanded the Heavenly Demon Puppet to stand, then sealed it inside the containment ring.

"By the way, while you were forging the Heavenly Demon Puppet, the Sandy Golden Tail Scorpion Tribe sent that demon beast corpse over. But I didn't want to disturb you while you were working on it."

After Xiao Yixian stored the puppet, she suddenly spoke.

"Oh, it's already been delivered then."

Hearing her words, Lin Feng's eyes instantly brightened.

He would wait to use this demon core again to forge another Dou Zun-level combat‑power Heavenly Demon Puppet.

Then he would have the confidence to slay that Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast.

Meanwhile, after speaking, Xiao Yixian lightly brushed the containment ring with a soft brush.

A faint glimmer flashed, and a massive wolf‑shaped demon beast materialized on the floor of the room.

"The post‑mortem aura of this beast is indeed far weaker than that of the two corpses in the Golden Body Sect Treasury; I estimate that a Heavenly Demon Puppet forged from this beast's demon core would also be considerably weaker."

Staring at the wolf‑shaped beast on the floor, Lin Feng rubbed his chin with his palm and muttered.

Having no other choice, he proceeded to extract the demon core and the essence blood from the corpse's head.

Afterwards, he packed away the corpse and the essence blood stored in a jade bottle.

Having done that, he again retrieved from the containment ring the serpentine demon beast corpse obtained from the Golden Body Sect.

Immediately, he resumed the forging.

"Sure enough, this demon core barely reaches Dou Zun level, so this Heavenly Demon Puppet can only attain the early stage of a one‑star Dou Zun."

A few days later, Lin Feng looked at the golden giant serpent before him, shook his head in disappointment and said.

"Forget it, the combat power I have now is fully enough to block the other forces around that Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast; now we just need to see if the Heavenly Fire Venerable can cross‑level slay that five‑star Dou Zun-level Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast."

Then Lin Feng snapped his finger lightly.

A drop of bright red blood splashed out and plunged straight into the serpent‑shaped puppet's forehead.

He then gestured with his palm, sealing it inside the containment ring.

Having done that, Lin Feng turned and looked at the white figure meditating nearby, and said, "Let's go; that old Heavenly Fire guy must be getting impatient waiting for us."

With that, he turned toward the doorway.

"Hmm."

Xiao Yixian slowly opened her violet‑brown eyes and nodded in response.

She then rose and followed behind him.

"You two have been in there for almost half a month and finally emerged. Luckily you only brought one; if you had taken the others as well, who knows how long I'd have to wait here."

Hearing the two of them leave, the Heavenly Fire Venerable in the opposite room sprang out, complaining.

"You old man, can you ever speak? I've been forging two Heavenly Demon Puppets these past days without a moment's rest."

Hearing her words, Lin Feng twitched the corner of his eye and said irritably.

"This matter, only you two know, so just say whatever you want."

The Heavenly Fire Venerable muttered something softly.

A slight twitch appeared at Xiao Yixian's mouth corner.

If she were strong enough now, she'd make this old man understand the consequences of provoking a malignant poisonous body.

"Sigh, you old man keep rambling on."

Lin Feng waved his hand and immediately asked, "We now have three Dou Zun-level Heavenly Demon Puppets in our possession, enough to block the other forces around that Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast. If you use our two people's four Exotic Fires together with that Transformative Fire to cast the Five‑Ring Separation Fire Method, can we defeat that five‑star Dou Zun-level Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast?"

Upon hearing the question, the Heavenly Fire Venerable shook his head and chuckled wryly, "Kid, you seriously underestimate the power of Heavenly Step combat techniques. If you can't even cross‑level slay, there wouldn't be so many Dou Zun-level cultivators risking their lives to raid the Dou Saint Tomb just for a sliver of a chance at a Heavenly Step technique or combat art."

He paused briefly, then continued, "Although the Five‑Ring Separation Fire Method amplified by four Exotic Fires may not match genuine Heavenly Step combat techniques, its power is certainly comparable. As long as no one interferes, once I unleash it, a few strikes will turn that Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast into a scorpion pancake."

"But you, coming from a humble background, have never seen the world‑shattering scenes when Heavenly Step combat techniques are unleashed, which is understandable."

"Just so you know, don't think I'm weak because I'm only at Three‑star Dou Zun peak; if I unleash a Heavenly Step combat technique, even a six‑star Dou Zun would have to turn and flee. Only those who have entered seven‑star Dou Zun can barely block it, and even then at the cost of injury."

"However, if I were to use such a continent‑top combat technique, at least eighty percent of my entire battle‑Qi would be instantly drained. Should an equal‑level strongman appear afterward, I would be powerless to continue fighting."

Hearing this, Lin Feng's face turned extremely shocked.

Although he had previously seen the names of some Heavenly Step combat techniques in the original work.

But its true power is impossible to know.

Now, hearing the explanation of the Heaven Fire Venerable, I finally understand how terrifying this combat technique is.

In that case, if the Heaven Fire Venerable's Dou Qi is sufficient.

By means of a Heaven Step Combat Technique, one can instantly become a strong individual whose combat power rivals that of a Six‑ or Seven‑Star Dou Zun.
