Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 148 Terrifyingly Powerful Advanced Puppet

Having been tortured to the point of wishing for death, Iron Protector was about to be released and began to eloquently introduce the benefits of the Soul Palace to Xiao Yan.

"Within my Soul Palace, the higher your status, the better the treatment you receive. You'll find everything from Earth-rank cultivation techniques and combat skills to rare elixirs that ordinary people can only dream of!"

After listening to Iron Protector's long string of words, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment. He opened the jade bottle, held a blazing flame in his hand, and silently said, "Be a good person in your next life."

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Protector Tie realized he had been tricked, and the surging flames immediately caused him to scream in agony.

The venomous curses echoed throughout the cave.

If Xiao Yan hadn't used his Dou Qi to seal the cave entrance, it would have surely attracted Yun Yun's attention.

Xiao Yan paid no heed to Iron Protector's venomous curses.

Firstly, he had recently begun cultivating the "Three Enlightenments of Bodhi," which significantly improved his character; secondly, the Soul Palace was eyeing the Xiao family.

Eliminating one of the guardians sooner would also weaken the Soul Palace's strength.

Although this minor protector is nothing compared to a behemoth like the Soul Palace.

As for the old feud between the Soul Clan, who founded the Soul Palace, and the Xiao Clan from a thousand years ago, Xiao Yan had never thought that destroying the Soul Palace Protector would be a way to avenge his family.

In truth, he is not from this world, even though the current Xiao family originated from the ancient Xiao clan.

However, Xiao Yan couldn't really say he had any particularly deep feelings for a family he had never met a thousand years ago.

Protecting the Xiao family, where he grew up, is one of Xiao Yan's motivations for cultivating diligently.

Under the intense heat of the flames, it wasn't long before Iron Guardian's intelligence was completely refined.

Xiao Yan suddenly clenched his fist and threw the ball of black mist that was Iron Protector towards the hole in Wuya's forehead.

The corpse of Wuya suddenly trembled, and its bones gleamed with a strange metallic luster.

Having extensive experience in crafting puppets that required the addition of a soul, Xiao Yan was not surprised and took out various rare minerals and metals from his storage ring.

The Netherworld Poison Fire transformed into a powerful flame formed by the fusion of four different flames. Under the terrifyingly high temperature of this lotus flower, rare minerals quickly showed signs of melting.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was multitasking, controlling the flames to nourish the corpse while refining ores and metals at extremely high temperatures.

Since these are high-level puppets at the Dou Zong level, both sides require a considerable amount of time to refine them.

In particular, the special corpse used this time was a one-star Dou Zong in life, and it was even more poisonous than ordinary corpses. To make it perfectly compatible with the Iron Guardian, whose soul level was exceptionally strong, was by no means a simple matter.

Knowing that such puppets were not easy to make, Xiao Yan gave the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and Yun Yun three days to consider.

This continued for about two and a half days. Under the smelting and attachment of various strange metals, Wuya's dry bones were transformed into a majestic warrior dressed in dark green armor.

Xiao Yan, who had been in deep meditation like an old monk, suddenly opened his eyes. He seized the perfect moment of the tempering process, quickly formed hand seals, and a drop of blood containing a trace of the soul imprint drifted into the space between the puppet warrior's eyebrows.

Upon contact with the puppet, the blood instantly formed an indelible mark.

The majestic puppet's empty eyes seemed to come alive for a moment, and then it slowly got up from the ground.

Xiao Yan also stood up at this moment, and with a thought, he immediately ordered the puppet to attack him.

The puppet obeyed Xiao Yan's orders without question, even when it attacked its master.

A dark green light shone in his pupils, and the puppet warrior unleashed a simple punch at Xiao Yan with a horse stance and a punch.

Bang!

With a single punch, the space in front of the puppet's fist distorted rapidly, creating a depression in the air centered on the fist.

Under the powerful compression, the surrounding air was compressed into a visible air cannon. With a loud boom, carrying strong wind pressure and a piercing shriek, it slammed into Xiao Yan.

Facing the advanced Dou Zong puppet he had crafted, Xiao Yan naturally dared not underestimate it. With a wave of his hand, he used the Samsara Tribulation technique, which involved "using four ounces to deflect the Yin and Yang forces and borrowing a portion to repay a portion."

Having cultivated the Samsara Tribulation to its peak, Xiao Yan could conjure a yin-yang symbol with a mere wave of his hand.

Upon contact with the incoming force, Xiao Yan grunted, immediately realizing that the attack far exceeded his limit of borrowing power.

In an instant, Xiao Yan's cycle of reincarnation and the void dissipated, and he once again released a great deal of his energy.

Seeing the inexhaustible force of the energy, Xiao Yan grunted, and his internal fighting spirit surged out like a flood, his arm suddenly shimmering with the color of stars.

The eight meridians converge into the vortex of Qi; with focused intention, one's strength is as great as a mountain!

The void vanished and the stars shifted again. Xiao Yan used his hand as a blade, gathering all the power in his body into a single point and detonating it instantly to meet the remaining pale white energy.

The two terrifying attacks collided, and a deafening roar reverberated within the cave. The terrifying force of the collision caused the cliff face where the cave was located to shake violently.

"What happened?" Seeing that the waterfall had stopped flowing due to the tremors, Yun Yun, who had been resting with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her beautiful eyes and took out her sword with a flick of her hand.

With her long, slender legs slightly bent, she launched herself into the air, and azure battle qi wings suddenly appeared, fixed on the location of the cave.

As the residual force dissipated, Xiao Yan gasped in shock upon seeing the numerous cracks running through the cave: the power of just one punch was terrifying!

Under normal circumstances, the strongest person Xiao Yan has ever fought should be Yao Lao, but that was only because Yao Lao was too familiar with him, which is why he was able to break through the Void Annihilation and Samsara Tribulation.

The fact that this puppet warrior could force him to use three techniques in rotation with the power of a single punch is enough to show that his strength is far beyond that of an ordinary Dou Zong.

Xiao Yan roughly estimated that the bones of that one-star Dou Zong from Wuya, after being tempered with the soul of Iron Protector and rare materials, could unleash the strength of a four-star Dou Zong with ordinary fists and feet.

If he were to unleash his fighting techniques, his strength would be comparable to that of Scorpion Biyan in his normal state. If he could poison his opponent, the effect would far surpass that of Scorpion Biyan when his strength had surged.

After considering it for a while, Xiao Yan was quite satisfied and put the puppet into his Bone Flame Ring.

Now that he knew the location of a branch of the Soul Palace, Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't waste this information.

The people of the Soul Palace are mostly soul beings, which is excellent nourishment for him to cultivate his soul, given his Soul Plowing Technique.
