“I hope it’ll be of some use.”
The First Ancestor murmured to himself.
Then, with a flash of light in his palm, a completely black puppet covered in ancient runes suddenly appeared.
“That’s it?”
The Stone Demon Supreme glanced at it and let out a disdainful laugh.
“A mere toy, and you dare bring it out to embarrass yourself? This Supreme could smash it with a single punch—”
His words abruptly came to a halt.
Because the instant the First Ancestor infused a wisp of spiritual energy into the puppet’s core—
“Vooooom—!!!”
An indescribably terrifying pressure, as though it had originated at the very dawn of creation, suddenly erupted from the puppet, crashing down like the entire star sea collapsing!
Dark golden divine light shot into the heavens. The tiny puppet expanded with the wind.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a thousand-zhang-tall metal giant. Dark golden divine radiance flowed across its body, and although its features were indistinct, it radiated boundless majesty!
The aura emanating from it was no longer that of a Quasi-Emperor. Instead, it was—
Solemn, vast, supreme, transcending the myriad Dao!
The might of a Great Emperor!
“What the hell?!”
The usually calm and dignified First Patriarch had his eyes bulging so far they nearly popped out of their sockets. He blurted out an exclamation utterly unbefitting his station.
His voice even changed pitch. “A… a Great Emperor?! This pressure—is this damn thing a Great Emperor-realm puppet?!”
A line from Xuanyangzi’s instructions before they had set out for the Southern Domain flashed through his mind.
“Ancestor, Changge gave you those puppets. Take two of them with you. I estimate they should have Quasi-Emperor-level combat strength!”
“Xuanyangzi, you unreliable brat! You call this Quasi-Emperor-level?!”
The First Patriarch roared inwardly, but his shock was soon overwhelmed by a wild joy brought on by this enormous surprise.
Opposite him, the Stone Demon Supreme, who had been preparing to destroy this “toy” with a single punch, froze completely. Even his ten-thousand-zhang demonic body trembled involuntarily.
His scarlet eyes were fixed on the thousand-zhang-tall dark golden puppet, filled with utter shock and disbelief.
“The aura of a Great Emperor?! How is this possible?! And it’s only a puppet?!”
The Netherworld Supreme was even more stunned. His soul-flame flared wildly as he shrieked, “An Emperor-realm puppet? Unheard of throughout the ages! What kind of heaven-defying method is this?!”
This sudden, pure, and overbearing flawless imperial might was like a ladle of ice-cold water poured into a boiling pot of oil. In an instant, the fierce slaughter across the entire chaotic battlefield came to a halt.
Not only were the Stone Demon Supreme and the Netherworld Supreme, who were facing the puppet directly, shaken to their cores—even the dozen or so other ancient Supremes who were fighting desperately against the Great Emperor of Annihilation and the Golden-Winged Peng Emperor were all jolted. They turned toward this scene in horror.
“Another imperial might?! No, that aura is cold and dead. It isn’t a living being! A puppet?! How is that possible?!”
The Golden Crow Ancient Emperor, who was locked in a fierce clash with the Great Emperor of Annihilation, watched as the solar flames around his body suddenly flickered. He nearly took a blow from a beam of light, and his voice was filled with incredulity.
“What are you standing around for? Beat the hell out of them!”
The Third Patriarch was the first to recover. He roared in wild delight.
“Big Brother, that surprise is huge!”
The Second Patriarch’s beard trembled with excitement, but his hands did not slow down. The scarlet Emperor sword in his grasp flared with even greater radiance.
The dark golden puppet’s eye sockets suddenly lit up with two golden radiances resembling stars. It looked toward the Stone Demon Supreme directly ahead.
Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of everyone present, it raised its enormous fist, which shimmered with dark golden light, and threw an utterly simple punch at the Stone Demon Supreme.
A force of pure and absolute power spread wherever the fist passed.
“No!!!”
The Stone Demon Supreme only had time to let out a furious and panicked roar before concentrating all his strength into his rocky giant fist and hastily meeting the blow.
“Boom—!!!!”
A deep, thunderous impact that defied description rang out.
The dark golden puppet’s fist collided with the Stone Demon Supreme’s massive stone fist.
At the moment of contact, the Stone Demon Supreme’s rocky fist—and his entire arm along with it—was instantly covered in countless cracks, like porcelain struck by a divine mountain weighing billions of tons.
Then, with a boom, it exploded completely!
Fragments of stone containing decaying Dao laws scattered in every direction.
The Stone Demon Supreme let out a scream of unimaginable agony. His ten-thousand-zhang demonic body was sent flying as if it had been struck head-on by a meteor.
No one knew how many layers of stars he smashed through along the way. A great swath of black source blood spilled behind him, and his aura plummeted instantly.
One punch!
Just one punch!
A Supreme from the forbidden zone had his arm shattered and was sent flying countless miles!
The entire battlefield fell into a momentary silence.
Even the Great Emperor of Annihilation and Little Black could not help turning their heads to look.
“Gulp.”
The four Patriarchs beside them were also stunned. The tense expressions on their faces instantly transformed into wild delight.
The First Patriarch and the Second Patriarch exchanged a glance. In each other’s eyes, they saw battle intent burning fiercely.
The Second Patriarch gritted his teeth and growled, “Let’s go!”
Before his voice had even faded, he raised his hand and flipped his wrist. With several flashes of light, another puppet covered in runes and radiating a restrained aura appeared in his palm.
It was the puppet he had brought earlier!
The First Patriarch hurriedly took out the other puppet as well.
“Voom!” “Voom!”
Two more terrifying Great Emperor auras, no weaker than the first and even stronger due to the resonance created by their simultaneous activation, erupted with a thunderous roar and swept across the chaos!
Three thousand-zhang-tall Great Emperor puppets, their bodies entirely dark gold and flowing with undying divine radiance, stood in a triangular formation.
They firmly locked onto the Netherworld Supreme and the Stone Demon Supreme, who had just rushed back in a sorry state.
Boundless imperial might surged forth like a tangible tsunami, suppressing the eight directions!
The five Patriarchs of the Azure Profound Sect straightened their backs. Holding their Emperor weapons, they stood behind the three Great Emperor puppets.
Looking at the two ancient Supremes before them—whose auras had clearly weakened and whose eyes even revealed traces of fear—the Patriarchs felt an unprecedented heroism surge straight into their minds.
“If we’d known we had these things…”
The Third Patriarch licked his somewhat cracked lips as he looked at the Emperor Pagoda in his hand, whose radiance had dimmed somewhat.
Then he glanced at the dark golden puppets before him, which stood like three undying divine mountains, and muttered, “Why did the brothers bother risking our lives fighting these two old monsters just now?”
The First Patriarch stroked his beard. Although he tried his best to maintain a dignified expression, he could not hide the smile spreading across his face.
“Careful with your words, careful. Treasures given by Changge should naturally be used at critical moments. And now is precisely the time.”
He looked toward the two Supremes opposite them, who were on full alert and had even begun slowly retreating.
“You two—did you enjoy yourselves just now? It’s our turn now.”
“There are two more?! That’s impossible!”
The Stone Demon Supreme’s expression changed dramatically. His ten-thousand-zhang body stiffened, and his scarlet eyes filled with shock and absurd disbelief.
“Three Great Emperor puppets?! What kind of force are you?!”
The Netherworld death qi around the Netherworld Supreme froze for an instant, and his eyes filled with extreme terror.
A Great Emperor puppet completely overturned their understanding of the levels of power they had held for countless ages!
Just as the pressure of the three Great Emperor puppets erupted and shook the entire battlefield, the First Patriarch’s gaze flashed like lightning as he swept it across the field. He immediately identified the crucial point in the situation.
Without the slightest hesitation, he decisively split off two puppets to support Little Black and the Great Emperor of Annihilation.
