Demonic Demoness Training Project

Under the same number of turns, the cymbals are also divided into long-term durable types and disposable types. The former often requires maintenance and repair, while the latter is usually more powerful.

"What's with all the mystery? I thought there was some big pear in it."

"You've been ruined by pears your whole life."

“I clearly saw a big pear inside when I was undergoing my tribulation earlier…”

As Lu Li muttered this, he spread his divine sense and suddenly discovered a strange object in this pale and silent void.

"This is……"

Lu Li hurriedly ran over and took a closer look. It was a palm-sized box with a black surface engraved with extremely fine dark gold patterns. There were also signs of chipping or knocking on the edges.

"Judging from its color, it looks a bit like Xuanming Crystal. No, the spiritual material that survived the explosion of the sixth-rank artifact is definitely not just Xuanming Crystal. It seems to have been mixed with some kind of high-rank spiritual ore."

Lu Li muttered to himself. He couldn't discern the material of the artifact in a short time, but when he stroked the surface patterns, a massive amount of information flooded into his mind.

【Artifact Name: Boundless Blessing Return to the Void Seal - Yu Zhe】

[Start Time: Autumn of the 3721st year of the Ancient Calendar]

[Operation Log: Ascended from the forbidden area of ​​the Heavenly Uranium Sect, target: the demon lord army downstream of the Blood Spirit River.]

"False! The sixth-stage compression array has collapsed, and the Yuanling energy of the third stage has leaked from the Ruins!"

"The Demon Lord escaped, severely injured!"

Immediately afterwards, another ancient scene was imprinted into Lu Li's mind.

At that moment, the Guixu Seal pierced the night sky and fell from the heavens.

The next moment, a crimson light shot into the sky, a shockwave swept across the ground, and smoke and dust obscured the sun.

Those heavily armored and armed cultivators of the immortal sects turned to ashes in an instant. When the smoke and dust cleared, only a desolate expanse of scorched earth remained.

After the scene ended, Lu Li remained silent for a long time before he came to his senses. He suddenly realized that what he was holding in his hand was the ink box from the Guixu Seal.

The so-called ink box is somewhat similar to a jade slip, but it can actively record the operation status of the instrument, and its outer shell is very sturdy, with a lifespan much longer than that of a jade slip.

Such mechanisms usually only appear on large mechanical artifacts such as star rafts. If a star raft accidentally crashes, the puppeteer can retrieve the ink box and find out the cause of the crash through the records inside.

Lu Li had no idea that the Boundless Blessing Return to the Void Seal also had an ink box, and so many years had passed without anyone coming to collect it.

Lu Li quickly browsed the contents of the ink box, which recorded the operational status of the various mechanisms and structures inside the Guixu Seal during that war. The compression array in particular caught Lu Li's attention.

Given the circumstances at the time, the main target of this Guixu Seal was a demon lord. However, the Boundless Blessing Guixu Seal malfunctioned, and the explosion range was much wider than originally planned, causing its power to spread.

The reason lies in the compression of the array pattern.

With Lu Li's mastery of the art of propping, he could tell at a glance that this array pattern was extraordinary. It had been lost for a long time and had an exquisite structure. It could be said to be one of the core array patterns of the Guixu Seal.

The ink cartridge itself was not supposed to record the array patterns, but the compressed array patterns malfunctioned at the time, and the ink cartridge recorded that part, which happened to benefit Lu Li, the newcomer.

Lu Li carefully examined the array patterns, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"The spiritual energy compression array should be a fifth or sixth-order array pattern, composed of thousands of secondary arrays. The erroneous part, when disassembled separately, is actually a complete third-order array!"

Lu Li had seen all the fragments of the Guixu Seal. Although both sects were vying for this item, Lu Li was quite skeptical. Based on these scattered fragments alone, it would be difficult to deduce the outline of the Boundless Blessing Guixu Seal.

There are far too many missing parts. Many key mechanisms and array patterns have long been lost, and the array patterns on the fragments are only a drop in the ocean.

Now that he has obtained the ink box, things have taken a turn for the better.

"Combining this three-stage magic array with the fragments I collected earlier, I might actually be able to refine the Boundless Blessing Return to the Void Seal. Uh... completely replicating the six-stage mechanical artifact might be a bit difficult. Perhaps I could settle for a smaller version and refine a smaller Return to the Void Seal?"

Chapter 131 Encirclement and Kill

Lu Li was overjoyed. He stored the information inside the ink box into his sea of ​​consciousness and then carefully put it away.

Even though he had memorized everything stored in the ink cartridge, the cartridge itself still possessed immense value.

The outer shell of the ink box was able to withstand the frontal burst of a sixth-rank artifact. The power that was enough to shatter the void only left some marks on the surface of the ink box. Its value is immeasurable, and it is very likely to be a legendary sixth-rank or even seventh-rank spiritual material.

Once such a treasure appears, it will surely attract countless cultivators to fight over it.

Unfortunately, because this substance was too hard, it could not be cut by a milling cutter or melted by fire, so Lu Li couldn't think of a way to use it for the time being.

"It seems we'll have to go back and study this further."

Thinking this, Lu Li searched the space again and found nothing else of value. Calculating the time, the exploration time for the Boundless Realm Secret Realm was almost up.

Soon, the immeasurable calamity in this world will enter a period of ten months, and the disciples of both sects must evacuate before then.

Of course, Lu Li's body has now fully adapted to the Boundless Tribulation. He wants to get out as soon as possible because he wants to return to the sect as Lu Li to avoid arousing suspicion.

If he wanted to explore this space again in the future, he would have the opportunity at any time. When Lu Li went out, he saw a group of people staring at him with ill intentions.

The person at the head of the group was none other than Wan Hanshan, the Holy Son of the White Moon Palace. He stood at the very front of the crowd, and upon seeing Lu Li emerge, a smile played on his lips as he said:

"Fellow Daoist, what fortuitous encounter have you obtained here? Why don't you share it with everyone to broaden their horizons?"

Behind Wan Hanshan stood two puppets. The one on the left was Ji Lie, whom he had recently acquired. It was a top-tier second-tier puppet, while the one on the right was his natal puppet, which was a third-tier puppet.

Following them were a dozen or so elite inner disciples of the White Moon Palace, each wielding a mechanical weapon.

Further on are some mid-level family forces, but these people are scattered, numbering about thirty, all secretly plotting and waiting for an opportunity to act.

"What a grand display!"

"Considering the difficulty of your cultivation, obediently hand over what you gained inside, and we may spare your life."

“But I only have one inheritance. How are you going to divide it among so many of you? Why don’t you all demonstrate it first, and then I will give it to him.”

The group exchanged glances, and Wan Hanshan sneered:

"If you want to sow discord among us, hand it over first. You don't need to worry about how to divide the profits."

"What if I don't pay? I'll just stand here, and you can come and take it if you dare."

"You really think we can't do anything to you just because you're hiding there? Fire the arrows!"

At Wan Hanshan's command, several disciples behind him took out crossbows and aimed them at Lu Li from a distance. This was a standard two-stage crossbow called the Moon Chasing Crossbow.

Whoosh whoosh!

Dozens of arrows came flying through the air. Lu Li dodged, and the crossbow bolts grazed past him one after another, only to change direction and continue shooting at him.

"It can even track."

Lu Li twitched the corner of his mouth, his expression playful. At the same time, the disciples of the White Moon Palace fired a second batch of arrows. The rain of arrows swarmed in from all directions, instantly blocking all his escape routes.

Seeing this, he activated all his magical artifacts, and his body immediately radiated a brilliant blue light. Glass is fragile, but this body is eternal and indestructible. This is the [Ice Skin Jade Bone Glass Body]!

Lu Li stopped dodging and unleashed a barrage of arrows, which exploded the instant they touched his body.

Boom boom boom!

"Hit! After being hit by so many Moon Chasing Arrows, he'll be crippled even if he doesn't die."

The disciples of Baiyue Palace were overjoyed. The crimson flames obscured everyone's vision. Wan Hanshan, however, looked solemn and manipulated Ji Lie's body to reach for the ball of flames. Just then, a petite figure emerged from it.

Without dodging or avoiding, she formed her left hand into a palm and slammed it towards the oncoming giant's palm.

boom!

The two collided, creating a surge of air.

Lu Li took three steps back and quickly stopped his momentum, standing firmly on his feet, while Ji Lie took several steps back and staggered to the ground.

With just this one strike, the difference in skill was immediately apparent.

If Ji Lie and Lu Li were evenly matched before Lu Li's breakthrough, then after Lu Li passed through the Nine Heavens Tribulation and completed the Open Source, it became a complete crushing defeat for Lu Li's side.

Without giving Lu Li any chance to catch his breath, another tall figure suddenly appeared behind Lu Li, his fists pounding down on Lu Li's back.

Boom!

With a muffled thud, Lu Li was blasted dozens of meters away.

Once he had regained his footing, Lu Li wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and turned to look. The newcomer was none other than Wan Hanshan's natal puppet.

This puppet is nine feet tall. Although it is not as big as Ji Lie, the aura it exudes is extremely solid and heavy. Just standing there, it is like a mountain, making people feel that it is unshakable.

Seeing this, Lu Li's eyes flickered.

The Three-Turn Puppet... If I remember correctly, the Heartless Protector was also a Three-Turn Puppet at that time.

It's unclear how far his current body is from reaching the third stage of puppetry.

Thinking this, Lu Li stomped his feet on the ground, the spatial power around him surged and rippled, and his body flew out like an arrow, charging fiercely towards the three-turn puppet.

The already incredibly fast movements became even more swift with the aid of the Shrinking Earth technique. In the blink of an eye, Lu Li had rushed over a hundred feet away. When the distance between them closed to less than ten feet, Lu Li leaped forward and delivered a flying kick.

The three-turned puppet crosses its arms in front of its body, attempting to defend itself.

boom!

The clash of fists and feet produced a deafening roar that made everyone's eardrums ache, and the immense impact kicked up dust in all directions.

The three-turned puppet was kicked backward, but it did not fall like Ji Lie. Its lower body was as stable as Mount Tai, and its feet plowed deep furrows in the rocky ground.

But Lu Li's kick was not without effect; the puppet's arm was deeply dented.

Such power shook the hearts of all the cultivators. Even those who had originally planned to take advantage of the situation felt uneasy and began to consider fleeing.

"The Ninefold Thunder Tribulation Open Source, even in the Primordial Era, would be a peerless genius, one in ten thousand. Seeing it today, it is indeed well-deserved."

"Although I had long heard that the upper limit of the Demonic Path's Open Source Realm was extremely high, this is the first time I have seen it. I did not expect that this demoness, who is only at the Open Source Realm, could go head-to-head with a third-stage puppet."

"I wonder what this woman's background is. If she really is a rogue cultivator with a clean background, perhaps we can recruit her into our clan and support her well. In time, she might become a guest elder in the Creation Realm."

Amidst the discussions, the battle continued. Lu Li's body was suspended in mid-air, her jade-like feet constantly moving, almost leaving afterimages as she kicked, while the Three-Turned Puppet countered with her fists.

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly, a cold glint flashed beneath the puppet mask. He took Lu Li's kick head-on, grabbed Lu Li's ankle with his other hand, and swung it towards the ground, as if he was determined to smash Lu Li to pieces.

Wan Hanshan snorted coldly and said:

"Hmph! Let's see how you hide this time!"

Everyone closed their eyes, unable to bear watching any longer. Halfway through the swing, a crisp crack was heard. Lu Li was not smashed to the ground as everyone had imagined. The puppet only had half of his lower leg left in its hand.

Lu Li appeared out of thin air above the puppet's head and stepped on its chest.

Boom!

After Lu Li kicked the puppet away, leaving it dazed and confused, Lu Li went over, picked up his own leg, and reattached it. Only then did everyone realize what had happened.

It turned out that just as Lu Li was about to hit the ground, he deliberately released the connection of his knee joint and, using the momentum of his body being thrown, kicked the other person.

Speaking of which, Lu Li learned this move from Xie Lingyin. When the Ghost-Faced Flower King bit Xie Xiao's mechanical arm, Xie Lingyin took the initiative to unlock the mechanism at the shoulder joint, separating the arm from the body, and took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for doing this: the puppet itself must be able to be disassembled independently. Fortunately, the jade foot has this function, and its flexibility is unparalleled.

Since acquiring the jade foot, Lu Li's attacks have primarily relied on kicking techniques. The reason is simple: the jade foot, fused with three mechanical artifacts, is incredibly hard and far more powerful than Lu Li's fists.

At this moment, the three-turn puppet not far away got up again, with sparks flying from its chest. Lu Li's kick had caused considerable damage to it, affecting the internal mechanisms and array patterns.

This time, however, the three-turn puppet did not rush forward immediately. Its mask opened, revealing a bowl-shaped mechanism inside.

Lu Li became wary, subconsciously feeling that spiritual energy rays would shoot out from the bowl, but that was not the case. Suddenly, a sharp alarm sounded.

Ugh!

The sound was extremely piercing. When many cultivators dozens of miles away heard it, they felt their minds shake and their souls tremble.

"It is a soul-path divine power performed in conjunction with the sound path!"

Unlike when he controlled Ji Lie, Wan Hanshan controlled this third-stage body entirely with his divine sense. His eyes narrowed, and the piercing sound increased by eight octaves once more.

"That's right, so what if your physical body is strong? This third-stage puppet of mine is not just capable of brute force!"

At this moment, even Wan Hanshan had to admit that his three-turn puppet had not gained any advantage in a head-on confrontation with Lu Li, which was why he had resorted to this tactic.

In his view, Lu Li and Ji Lie were in similar situations. Since their physical cultivation was so strong, their divine sense must be their weakness.

"This move is called Soul Shattering Sound, which can shatter souls below Grade B in an instant. I admit you have some skill in strength, but if I were to unleash this soul-based killing move, how would you possibly deal with it?"

As soon as the Soul-Shattering Tremor Technique was unleashed, Lu Li immediately stood rooted to the spot, no longer moving, like a puppet that had lost its soul.

Wan Hanshan was overjoyed at the sight and proudly surveyed the hidden cultivators around him.

"Hehehe, that's more like it! See? This is what happens when you dare to oppose me!"

After saying this, Wan Hanshan roused himself and was about to go up and collect the spoils of war. However, after thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate and ultimately did not go up himself. Instead, he continued to control his natal puppet.
