Chapter 1641: The Flaws of the Puppet Civilization

The Immortal Artifact Son of the Immortal Artifact Sect has encountered a massive problem in the combat calculation!

The flesh-and-blood Dao soldiers and puppets forming the Flesh-and-Blood Furnace Great Array, and even the flesh of some low-to-mid-tier disciples of the Immortal Artifact Sect, seemed to have come alive; their limbs and bodies sprouted independent consciousness, suddenly splitting apart with venomous roars.

These were the living beings previously refined into their bodies and puppets as magical treasure components.

These independent consciousnesses, the Immortal Artifact Sect's countless people, including many high cultivators, all believed they had completely overcome.

The Immortal Artifact Sect had sufficient exploration in this area, possessing flesh-and-blood Immortal Dao scientific achievements that surpassed the Upper Realm.

They knew there were drawbacks to refining multiple living beings into magical treasures, but they didn't care at all, because compared to the drawbacks, the advantages were far greater, and were advantages in power, cost, efficiency, and every other aspect.

Clearly, this drawback had already been completely overcome!

The Immortal Artifact Son roared in his heart.

But the facts unfolding now were completely different; the foundation of the Eighth-Rank Flesh-and-Blood Furnace Puppet Dao Soldier Great Array saw numerous mid-to-low-tier puppets frequently collapsing and splitting into fragments.

This greatly affected the stability of the Great Array!

Boom!

Boom!

In the sky, the destructive sun rose again and again, falling again and again, each time inevitably forcing the Immortal Artifact Son to retreat, shattering tens of millions of flesh-and-blood puppet Dao soldiers, again and again.

In just a few breaths, over a billion Dao soldiers were completely destroyed, and the array's aura plummeted rapidly.

Many flesh-and-blood puppet Dao soldiers, even the semi-living ones, now involuntarily felt boundless fear in their hearts.

That living being, standing within the World Mechanical Sun God Halo, seemed like an indifferent Sun God, sweeping away all non-man-made things from the human world.

In a mere instant, the Immortal Artifact Son was driven back step by step.

Facing his roars, the words of that youth in green robes suddenly became fewer, his attacks growing ever more fierce, the Sun Sword Dao World Domain constantly expanding, constantly absorbing starlight from the universe.

The entire world cluster became increasingly radiant due to his presence; there was no longer any dark land in the world, the Sun Paradise descended upon the human world.

"This Dao Son has discovered it!"

"You damned ant!"

After several breaths, the Immortal Artifact Son, constantly being pushed back by the Sun Flying Swords, saw his pupils suddenly flare with light; countless Immortal Dao runes arranged and combined within them, the Puppet Heavenly Dao Rule Law Net operated ceaselessly, finally yielding a clear answer.

"The military formation!"

"The military formation has a problem!"

The Immortal Artifact Son flew into a rage.

His divine sense surged into the Eighth-Rank Flesh-and-Blood Furnace Dao Soldier Great Array, transmitting a vast number of commands to the consciousnesses of the numerous puppets; numerous details of the Dao Soldier Great Array changed rapidly, no longer executing the original classic Dao Soldier Great Array plan.

Instantly, the entire

Dao Soldier Great Array's aura became perfectly unified.

Boom!

The sun in the sky crashed down, forcing the eighteen bronze war halberds, which had already revealed their true forms and bore many sword marks, to retreat one step, yet it was merely one step, unable to achieve further results.

The Eighth-Rank Flesh-and-Blood Furnace Dao Soldier Great Array has been adjusted!

"What kind of array cultivation is this?"

"What kind of military formation cultivation is this? Did you come from a Military Formation Immortal Sect? You cultivate the Sword Dao for nothing!"

The Immortal Artifact Son couldn't help but curse wildly.

He finally understood the reason for his sudden fall into disadvantage.

Military formation!

His opponent's military formation cultivation strangely surpassed his own by a huge margin; he didn't know how the opponent had pierced through the flaws in his military formation, thus exploiting them to forcibly invade the military formation, crushing a vast number of mid-to-low-tier Dao soldiers, not that this breached the flesh-and-blood puppet defense technology which was the very foundation of the Immortal Artifact Sect.

This was truly terrifying.

In just a few brief moments of battle, he had already seen the flaws in the Eighth-Rank Dao Soldier Great Array and successfully invaded.

This person's Sword Dao might be unknown compared to other Sword Sons, but in the Way of Military Formations, he was nearly the strongest! This was too incredible; how could the Way of Military Formations be played like this?

Is his sect only capable of military formations?!

"Haha!"

"Daoist, your words are quite witty; this Lord even wants to kill you sooner."

Jiang Ding no longer remained silent, laughing heartily: "Daoist, your military formation is indeed mysterious and unfathomable, surpassing this Lord in many aspects, but in some aspects... it seems far too rigid?"

"Many places are purely copy, copy, copy, with absolutely no spirituality."

"This is the weakness of the mere ant race; the number of living beings executing creative Immortal Dao research is so small, and even the creativity of these few living beings is unknown; it is likely that most of these few living beings are merely ordinary, possessing little creativity."

"Remember one thing!"

"Soul consciousness computing power and Immortal Dao creativity cannot be equated."

"This is the original sin of you living beings born from puppets, which will inevitably lead to your destruction in the future!"

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha..."

Jiang Ding suddenly laughed wildly; he had discovered something extremely interesting: "When the various inspirations left behind by existing Spirit Treasure Realm artifacts may be fully deduced, how will you, this Puppet Sect, position yourself?"

"How will you create the unknown?"

"Relying on just a few old things with creativity within the sect?"

"Even without this Lord, you will inevitably fall in the competition with other Immortal Sects in the future!"

"The expectation of the Human Dao for this Lord, the destruction of the Immortal Artifact Sect,"

"Begins with you!"

Boom!

The Taiqing Flying Sword unsheathed and struck down!

The Six Paths · Mechanical Sun God Halo rotated, absorbing the light of the universe; the entire world cluster transformed from the bright and radiant Sword Domain, turning once again into darkness and silence.

In this deathly silent darkness, a lotus seed bursting with brilliant light bloomed.

It had an outer shell like a golden crystal — this was the Solar Dai Sen Sword Domain's materialization of gathered solar radiance.

The lotus shell shattered, the seed slowly unfolded, revealing the first layer of petals — golden, dreamlike petals — a golden world rested upon them, within which Asura beings slaughtered one another: the Asura Path, for the Sword of Destroying Metal;

Next, the second layer of green petals unfolded, within which countless living things grew, mutated and multiplied, all creatures vying for freedom: the Mutant Beast Path, for the Sword of Destroying Wood;

Then came the third layer of petals, the fourth layer of petals…

Petal after petal of the dreamlike blossom unfolded, each one cradling a complete world. A lotus with six petals — six different worlds — appeared between heaven and earth.

In an instant, an incomparably terrifying aura bore down upon all four directions.

Heaven and Earth Six Paths Five-Element Destruction Sword!

"Come!"

"Wretch!"

The Solar Sword Son roared: "Let me see whether your life can push this lord's Sword Dao one step further — one step closer to the path of True Immortal!"

"Do not disappoint this lord!"

Whoosh!

The Heaven and Earth Six Paths Five-Element Destruction Lotus bloomed, drawing in every shred of light between heaven and earth. A lone, beautiful lotus, spinning on its own axis, unleashed wave after wave of annihilating sword Qi, slaughtering toward the Dao Son of the Immortal Qi Sect and his army of nearly ten billion Dao Soldiers, its aura suppressing all four corners of the universe.
