Swallowing the Stars: Analyzing All Things

Chapter 101 Puppet!

"A corpse!"

"So many corpses."

Feng Yinghou's voice carried a hint of solemnity.

The hall is about three kilometers wide and five kilometers high. Corpses are scattered everywhere in the vast space. Some of the bodies are intact, some are just bones, and some have even weathered away.

Lin Yan's gaze swept over the corpses.

The intact corpses were all immortal bodies, with some skeletal remains remaining, probably belonging to the realm lord level. Their bodies had long since decayed and decayed over the long years.

As for the domain lords and cosmic-level beings, their corpses had long since rotted away, turning even their ashes into nothingness, leaving only some broken weapons and armor fragments scattered on the ground.

"This is a soul attack method."

Looking at those perfectly preserved, immortal corpses, Feng Yinghou's voice carried a hint of awe.

These were all killed by the two top-tier clans.

The cosmic rulers of the two dominant races, perhaps too lazy to personally scavenge these ruined bases, simply unleashed a soul attack that wiped out all life within the entire base—

Whether they were immortal gods or cosmic beings, their souls were annihilated in the same instant, while their bodies fell down intact.

Soul attack sweeps away!

All wiped out!

Besides the large number of corpses, rows of puppets stood at the entrance to the next gate.

These puppets are entirely silver-white, about ten meters tall, and wield various weapons such as spears, long knives, and swords, arranged neatly in a square formation.

"Puppet Guardian".

Feng Yinghou explained in a low voice, "In the ruins of the sacrificial temple, there are usually puppets guarding the site. These puppets vary in strength, most of them are only at the World Lord level, but some have reached the Immortal level."

No sooner had he finished speaking than one of the puppets suddenly moved.

The dark blue eyes flickered at a steady pace, and the eyes of the dozen or so puppet guards around it also began to flicker.

"World Lord level!"

Lin Yan instantly detected their energy fluctuations.

"beep"

"Wow!"

Immediately, the immortal water-based divine power of the Nether Lotus surged from Lin Yan's body, transforming into countless beams of dark blue light that precisely shot towards the dozen or so activated puppet guards.

"Puff puff puff puff————"

The air trembled as the beam passed through, and the bodies of more than a dozen puppet guards were cleaved in two by the impact of the beam.

"Huh? They're pretty resilient!"

Lin Yan frowned slightly.

Although these puppet guards were split in two, it seemed that their energy cores had not been destroyed, and their combat programs were still running. The two halves of their bodies were still flying in the air and rushing towards them.

"Boom!"

The vast, immortal divine power surged forth once more, and the dark blue light swept across like a tsunami, completely engulfing the remains of the puppet guards.

The silvery-white fragments shattered in the light, leaving only rhomboid energy cores that floated silently in the void.

"Energy Core!"

Lin Yan used the power of the world to lift up the energy core and examine it carefully. It was a rhombus-shaped crystal with an eerie red light shining on its surface, and it also had fine secret patterns that were extremely similar to the patterns on the secret bone.

"Whoosh!"

He stored the core in a spatial ring. This crystal, which could control world lord-level puppets, was itself a treasure.

"continue."

After passing through four entrances, each one led to a large hall, and each hall was guarded by puppets.

Without exception, they were all just puppets at the realm lord level. Lin Yan and Feng Yinghou swept through the area, scattering silvery-white fragments all over the ground and collecting a bunch of energy cores.

Finally, they arrived at the fifth entrance.

There were significantly more puppet guards here. Lin Yan's gaze swept over the puppets, and he quickly made a judgment.

"One Immortal-level, the rest World Lord-level."

Lin Yan's gaze fell on the immortal-level puppet. The immortal puppet was nearly twice as tall as the other puppets, and its entire body was silver-white with fine patterns covering its surface.

The tip of the spear in his hand was shimmering with a silvery-white light, radiating a chilling energy fluctuation.

"I'll hold off that Immortal-level one, you deal with the rest of the Realm Lord puppets." Feng Ying's voice carried a hint of confidence as she twirled her cyan longsword in her hand, its blade light flickering uncertainly.

"Come help me after you've cleaned up the rest."

"it is good."

The two exchanged a glance and moved simultaneously.

Feng Yinghou rushed towards the immortal-level puppet, his azure sword light cascading down like a waterfall, enveloping the puppet.

"Bang—"

'

The immortal puppet spear thrust out, its tip gleaming with silvery-white light that collided with the cyan sword light, exploding into dazzling orbs of light.

"Boom!"

The explosive force scattered and impacted the surrounding black buildings. The secret patterns on the buildings glowed slightly, absorbing the force and dissipating into nothingness.

The architectural runes of this ruin are clearly extraordinary, capable of easily withstanding battles of immortal level without suffering any damage.

Meanwhile, on Lin Yan's side...

In the blink of an eye, he destroyed dozens of world lord-level puppets, scattering silvery-white fragments all over the ground.

After resolving these troubles, Lin Yan immediately freed Ming Xilian from her possessing state.

"Splash splash~"

A deep blue light surged from his body, reforming into a giant lotus behind him. Countless roots emerged from the void, coiling around the immortal-level puppet.

With the help of the Nether Lotus, the puppet's movements are restricted and bound, while Feng Yinghou only needs to attack and find the puppet's weaknesses to dismantle it.

With their tacit cooperation, the immortal-level puppet was dismantled in just a few dozen breaths.

"clang""

Seizing the opportunity, the cyan longsword pierced the puppet's chest, penetrating its energy core. The immortal puppet's eyes dimmed, its body froze on the spot, and then it collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Silence returned to the entrance.

Silvery-white fragments were scattered all over the ground, gleaming dimly in the light of the hall. Among the puppet remains, there were still some undestroyed energy cores, which glowed faintly among the fragments.

"Phew~"

Mingxi Lian possessed him again.

Lin Yan's gaze fell on the stone gate in front of him.

Behind the stone gate were two passages. Lin Yan extended his World Power, trying to sense the situation deep within the passages, but was severely interfered with and only detected a deathly blackness.

The same applies to Mingxi Lian's water-based divine power.

The detectors and other technological instruments were severely interfered with by the architectural intricacies as soon as they entered the ruins, making them completely unusable and unable to even perform the most basic distance measurements.

"Two passages."

Lin Yan's voice held a hint of contemplation as he looked at Feng Yinghou, "Should we go separately, or together?"

"Let's go together," said Feng Yinghou. "With the military system monitoring us, we don't need to worry about betraying each other."

On battlefields outside the region, the military system is the cornerstone of maintaining trust among human faction warriors.

Whether you come from a human faction or a subordinate race, as long as you haven't retired, the military system will record everything about you—military achievements, contributions, and combat records.

They killed each other.

It is one of the major crimes committed within the military system.
