Chapter 434: An Unusual Sword

Overbearing!

Savage!

Unreasonable!

This Mid-level Life Puppet threw Wei Feng directly onto a giant boulder, and the boulder, containing Refined Iron, shattered instantly.

Wei Feng's body was no better off than the boulder.

As the puppet swung, a force of extreme dominance surged into his internal organs, shattering them.

A mouthful of bloody foam spilled from his mouth, containing bits of mangled flesh.

His... injuries were far more severe than they appeared.

This scene truly left everyone present incomparably shocked.

A proud son of heaven from the dignified Heavenly Court was actually defeated by an Intermediate-Grade Puppet, and a Life Puppet at that!

Is this possible?

Impossible!

Even the strongest puppet in the world today should not be a match for Wei Feng.

Yet, it had truly happened!

"A Legendary Puppet!" A cold look flashed in Shi Ruo's eyes.

That was unmistakably a Legendary Puppet.

Only a puppet of the Legendary level could possess such great power and be able to defeat Wei Feng.

But... hadn't Legendary Puppets not been created yet?

Unlike Shi Ruo's astonishment, Wang Lu's mood at this moment was a mix of shock and excitement.

A Legendary Puppet!

She actually possessed a Legendary Puppet.

That ordinary-looking Mid-level Life Puppet was actually the Legendary Puppet her family had dreamed of for generations.

Her heart was a swirl of mixed emotions, and a feeling of wild joy swept over her.

Guo Mei revealed a sense of having survived a disaster: "Wang Lu, is this the puppet Lin Gui gave you?"

Hearing this, Wang Lu suddenly raised her head and looked at the back under the pillar of light in the distance.

She did not know what her emotions were at this moment.

But it felt as if she had experienced great sorrow and great joy.

"It was a gift from Lin Gui; I never expected... it would be a Legendary-level puppet."

Guo Mei watched the great battle in the distance and took a deep breath: "With those two guardians, it is no surprise that Lin Gui could create a Legendary Puppet."

Those were two deities, and not ordinary deities at that.

With such deities as attendants, Lin Gui's identity was absolutely extraordinary.

Wang Lu was also shocked; that junior brother who drank with her and listened to her chatter actually had such an identity.

Thinking of this, she could not help but feel... dazed.

On the other side, the Mid-level Life Puppet had defeated Wei Feng but showed no signs of stopping.

He charged toward Wei Feng like a galloping giant elephant, intending to smash Wei Feng into smithereens.

"Shi Ruo, save me!" At this moment, Wei Feng no longer had his previous arrogance, his expression filled with terror.

Seeing this, Shi Ruo's figure moved slightly, hesitating for a moment.

However, during that hesitation, the Legendary-level puppet had already collided with Wei Feng.

Before the impact, that Legendary Puppet even reached out its hands and pulled Wei Feng into its embrace.

A forceful hug!

Crack!

Bones snapped, and flesh and blood flew everywhere!

The Legendary Puppet held Wei Feng, and with three heavy thuds, Wei Feng's body was already broken into fragments, a bloody mess.

The death was extremely miserable, even too ghastly to look at.

The Legendary Puppet killed Wei Feng without any hesitation and walked straight toward Shi Ruo.

Seeing this, Shi Ruo's expression changed drastically: "Miss, please stop, I... have no ill intent!"

Although he was stronger than Wei Feng, he was not much stronger.

The strength of this Legendary Puppet could be considered formidable even among the Legendary class.

With his own meager strength, how could he be its match?

Seeing this, Wang Lu finally spoke: "Stop!"

Hearing this, the Legendary Puppet stopped its steps.

Its body changed once again, reverting to the amiable and harmless appearance of the Life Puppet from before.

Only, covered in blood and flesh, it did not look quite as kind.

"Father."

Xiao Bing stood to the side, her heart incomparably anxious.

The two Divine Puppets had been at a disadvantage against Elder Lan Fire the entire time.

Moreover, the three of them had become heated in their fighting.

Elder Lan Fire was anxious in his heart, fearing that the inheritance of the Goddess Wa would be snatched away, so every move was lethal, trading injury for injury.

He was indeed a powerhouse only one step away from a deity with Strong Divine Power, managing to severely injure both Divine Puppets single-handedly.

"What did he give you to make you risk your lives like this?

With injuries like these, you're acting as if your lives don't matter.

If you don't stop to heal, your future paths... will be severed."

Elder Blue Fire was speaking the truth.

With injuries of that level, any other god would have likely fled long ago.

The injuries of Twenty-one and Twenty-two could be considered horrific.

Especially for Twenty-one, half of whose divine body had been torn apart by Elder Blue Fire's Divine Power.

This tearing was not just of the physical body, but also of his Divine Power and divine office.

If not treated in time, and if the injuries were allowed to worsen, his divine path in this life would even be affected, making it difficult to progress.

For a god, this is an unacceptable thing.

Yet, this god truly seemed not to care, as if it were a matter of either you die or I die.

Such things are extremely rare, and now Elder Blue Fire had encountered two of them.

He was also very furious and felt stifled.

Because the opponent truly did not fear death, did not care about their Dao path, and was using a life-for-a-life fighting style!

"To die for Master is a death well-deserved!"

A beautiful, sorrowful smile curled at the corner of Twenty-one's mouth.

Although Twenty-two did not speak, her actions represented her meaning; her offensive, far from weakening, grew even stronger.

"You're courting death!" Blue Fire felt stifled and incredibly enraged.

A god living like a fanatic.

Although he liked fanatics, he did not want to be one himself!

Such a god is unworthy of being a god!

After all, Blue Fire was a top-twelve powerhouse of the Heavenly Court who had already touched the threshold of Strong Divine Power; he and a Medium Divine Power were already in two different worlds.

When he attacked, Twenty-one and Twenty-two simply could not resist.

In a few dozen more breaths, they would likely be defeated.

"Father!" Xiao Bing was incredibly anxious, looking at Lin Chao within the pillar of light.

At this moment, the pillar of light had completely extinguished.

A divine radiance flowed from Lin Chao's eyes, as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life.

Lin Chao glanced at Xiao Bing, then turned his gaze toward the battlefield ahead.

His expression was cold and stern, his robes rustling in the wind.

"Twenty-one, Twenty-two, stop; leave this person... to me."

In the next instant, his figure entered the center of the battlefield.

Hearing Lin Chao's voice, an expression of excitement appeared in Twenty-one's eyes.

Twenty-two was heavily injured, her body broken, but her expression had turned cold and indifferent.

"As you command, Master."

Only then did Elder Blue Fire notice Lin Chao; he looked at Lin Chao with wary eyes: "You are that God Bone holder? Who exactly are you?"

At first, he thought the opponent was just a God Bone holder with innate talent who had obtained a legacy and become a god.

Now it seemed that was not the case.

After all, he still had two divine subordinates.

Even he, Blue Fire, did not have such loyal divine subordinates.

"When you are dead and go to hell, perhaps you will know who I am?"

"Hell? Where is that?"

"You are courting death!"

Elder Blue Fire attacked without any mercy.

The opponent was truly Ghost-like, and his strength was unknown.

He had already decided that if the opponent could threaten him, he would immediately return to the Heavenly Court.

This place revealed something strange.

Elder Blue Fire attacked, and deep blue flames scorched this patch of heaven and earth.

Rootless Fire!

The flame mastered by Elder Blue Fire, also known as Rootless Fire, was a legacy he obtained from the ruins of an ancient god with Strong Divine Power.

It is rumored that this flame originated from the lowest level of the Abyss and was the fire that ignited on the corpse of the first Abyss Lord when heaven and earth were first created.

This flame can burn the Divine Soul.

Beings killed by this flame cannot enter the God Kingdom, nor can they enter the Abyss; they are completely destroyed from this world.

The flames permeated the air, the blue light eerie.

A sea of azure fire covered Lin Chao.

Lin Chao smiled coldly, and as he reached out his hand, a sword appeared in it.

This sword was formless, created entirely from Divine Power.

Holding that sword, Lin Chao seemed to transform into a Sword Saint!

Slash!

One sword strike!

The sea of fire parted!

The sword momentum did not diminish; the blue sea of fire was like a tiny flame, extinguished by a gust of wind.

That sword thrust toward Elder Blue Fire.

Elder Blue Fire squeezed a smile onto his face: "Though this sword is strong, wanting to..."

Yet, his voice stopped abruptly at that moment.

His Divine Soul shattered at that moment, without any warning.

He had not reacted at all.

He also could not understand why he had died just like that.

Even a god with Strong Divine Power could not simply erase his Divine Soul so easily.

The man before his eyes, though mysterious and unfathomable, showed no signs of Strong Divine Power on his body.

He was puzzled, a look of unwillingness on his face: "Why!"

After speaking, his body turned into fragments and vanished from this world.

Lin Chao looked at Blue Fire, then his gaze fell back onto his own sword.

"As expected... familiar power... is still easy to use."

He did not think much more, his gaze piercing through the dark night to look at the distant Shi Ruo, as well as Wang Lu and Guo Mei.

Shi Ruo's divine body trembled; he simply could not believe it.

That was Elder Blue Fire, a powerhouse only one step away from Strong Divine Power, yet he was inexplicably slain by a single sword strike.

Even the strongest person in the Heavenly Court today would likely be unable to do this.

Who exactly was that man?

Lin Chao glanced at the three of them, swept his gaze over that Legendary Puppet, then withdrew his eyes and vanished from their sight.

His identity was special now; there was no need to meet with Wang Lu.

Besides... it would scare the children.

It was not until twenty breaths after Lin Chao's figure disappeared that the three of them recovered from their shock.

"He killed Elder Blue Fire?" Guo Mei swallowed her saliva.

That existence she had to look up to for her entire life had been slain by someone with a single sword strike.

She could not understand that sword strike.

Shi Ruo could understand it even less.

As a heaven-gifted talent in the Heavenly Court, he had dealt with many Elders and understood many of the gods' methods.

He did not know where such a sword could come from.

Even the God of Sword and Flower, who understood swords best in the world, could not swing such a sword, nor were they a match for Elder Blue Fire.

He did not understand; he was very perplexed.

For a god, their most powerful means was the divine office they mastered.

The opponent used a sword, but the Rule of the sword was nine-tenths mastered by the God of Sword and Flower.

How could this be?

Could it be that there was something that transcended the Rules of heaven and earth?

At this moment, even though Lin Chao had already left, Wang Lu's heartbeat was accelerating wildly.

Guo Mei sighed from the side: "I wonder what kind of status he has, to have such strong power and two powerful gods serving him."

Wang Lu recalled how Lin Chao addressed those two gods: Twenty-one; Twenty-two.

Before, she remembered there was a burly man by Lin Chao's side named Zero.

These strange names, or rather... designations?

Made her unable to stop thinking.

Could it be that Junior Brother Lin Gui had twenty-three divine subordinates?

This was too terrifying, hard to imagine.

Guo Mei patted her chest: "Wang Lu, stop thinking about it; you and that person are ultimately people from two different worlds.

Besides, he killed Elder Blue Fire; the Heavenly Court will not let him go."

Wang Lu was still deep in thought; she looked at Guo Mei and asked: "Guo Mei, don't you think that Twenty-three doesn't look like a normal person?"

"Of course she isn't a normal person, she is a god!"

"She is a bit like... a puppet."

"What nonsense are you spouting? Where would there be a god-level puppet?

If there were, where would the Elders of the Heavenly Court hide their faces? What would you make the gods of the Pantheon..."

"But... he is a Legendary Puppet!" Wang Lu looked at the Intermediate-Grade Puppet that Lin Gui had given her. "Since he can make a Legendary Puppet, is it possible he can make a God-Tier Puppet?

That is... a God-Tier Puppet!"

Wang Lu's eyes shone.

"Wang Lu, I think your brain is burnt out and you need to calm down!"

Inside the Secret Realm, Lin Chao looked at Twenty-two and Twenty-three, his hand movements suddenly accelerating.

Now, the puppet-making techniques he was employing did not just come from the inheritance he received from the Goddess Wa.

Among them, it also mixed in... the Doll Technique he used when he was in the Wu Kingdom.

When he was in the Wu Kingdom, he obtained the talent Puppet Master and could make doll sisters.

In the end, to achieve the goal of having a home, he made a father and mother, as well as a large group of family members.

Among those dolls, quite a few had undergone special changes.

Now, when crafting puppets, he was actually able to manifest his previous talent.

This... was nothing short of a fantasy.

The two worlds were not on the same level.

The Rules appeared similar, but in reality, they were not interchangeable at all.

The cultivation techniques and martial arts from his past life were completely useless.

However, having obtained the inheritance of the Wa Maiden this time, Lin Chao finally received the complete Forging Heaven Art.

The Divine Emperor Gu Tang once said that the Forging Heaven Art was a technique of the Main World, concerning the path toward becoming a Fate Controller.

Because the worlds were different, although one could cultivate it in this world, it had no effect at all; only by returning to the Main World could it unleash its power.

On this point, Lin Chao also agreed.

Yet, after obtaining the complete inheritance of the Forging Heaven Art, Lin Chao realized that what the Divine Emperor Gu Tang said was not entirely correct.

After cultivating the Forging Heaven Art, Lin Chao was shocked to discover that he could briefly use the techniques from his past life.

Previously, when battling Elder Blue Fire, with Lin Chao's strength at the time, it would have taken quite a bit of effort to kill Elder Blue Fire.

However, he unleashed a sword strike from his past life, a powerful strike condensed from the insights of the Main God, which bypassed the Divine Power and defenses of Blue Fire to strike directly at the soul.

This was simply not a battle of the same dimension.

It was as if you were playing one game where the damage value of a single strike was 100, while in another game, the value of a strike was 999,999.

If the character from the game with 999,999 damage entered the first game, wouldn't they just slaughter everything?

Of course, this analogy was not entirely appropriate.

But Lin Chao was indeed cheating by using the Forging Heaven Art.

And the people of this world, even if they obtained the complete Forging Heaven Art, could not cheat.

Moreover, Lin Chao could not use the techniques and abilities of his past life without limit.

This was related to his progress in cultivating the Forging Heaven Art.

Unleashing that sword strike, as well as using the Puppet Master's innate ability to repair Twenty-two and Twenty-three, was already his limit.

"Repairs complete... you two may rise."

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Chao said to Twenty-two and Twenty-three.

At this moment, the bodies of the two puppets seemed to have undergone a special change.
