Chapter 138 The Unexpected Turn of Events with the Soul-Suppressing Seal, The Giant Puppet
I don't know how much time passed.
Lin Li, constantly activating his innate divine abilities, had already filled his dantian with violent restrictive magical power.
The magical power dissipated from the dantian, surging wildly through the internal organs and meridians.
I'm almost at my limit!
Moreover, his original magical power has been reduced to less than one-tenth.
Having already consumed both the elixir and the pills, it seems this is the only way forward.
"My disciple."
"Still a bit short!"
"I'll lend you another hand!"
Just then, Lin Li suddenly heard the voice of the old ghost Feng Yuan.
"That old man!"
Lin Li's heart sank.
That old guy really knows how to play dirty tricks.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Li felt himself frozen in place by a Nascent Soul stage magic power. A purplish-red pill flew in front of him and transformed into a wisp of purplish-red light, entering Lin Li's mouth.
That ray of light fell straight into the dantian.
As the light transformed into a pill once more, a powerful suction force emanated from the purplish-red pill. The restrictive magic power within seemed to be drawn in by some kind of attraction, all of it drilling into the purplish-red pill.
Not only that, even Lin Li's own limited magical power was absorbed into it.
"My lifespan is slipping away!?"
Lin Li frowned slightly.
Right now.
The Soul-Suppressing Seal, which had been dormant for a long time, trembled slightly.
boom!
A visible storm of dark soul energy swept around.
The purplish-red pill in his dantian shattered instantly under the impact of this terrifying divine thought.
Feng Yuan, the old ghost, who was a few steps away to the side, stared wide-eyed in disbelief as he saw the storm of divine thoughts approaching.
"Divine consciousness taking form? How is that possible!"
Feng Yuan, the old ghost, immediately sensed that the elixir he had prepared had shattered, and all his long-planned schemes had come to nothing.
In the blink of an eye, black smoke billowed from Feng Yuanlaogui's mouth, instantly forming a semi-transparent black mist magic shield around the black jade skull.
When the storm of divine sense reached him, the immense power of that divine sense forced his skull-like body back to the edge of the stone chamber. Feng Yuan, the old ghost, looked at Zi You's disciple at the center of the storm with some difficulty.
At this moment, in Feng Yuan Lao Gui's eyes, his disciple, whom he had picked up halfway through life, was full of mystery.
He originally thought that everything was under his control.
He had already devised countermeasures for everything, including the spiritual contract and restrictions between himself and Fellow Daoist Ziyue.
In Feng Yuan's old ghost's view, the most difficult one to deal with was that ghost fox Zi Yue, and this disciple in front of him was just a tool in his hands.
But what is happening now has completely overturned Feng Yuan Laogui's worldview.
"Is it that fragment?"
At this moment, the fragment that had been stored in the sealed space by the Soul-Suppressing Seal appeared directly half a step in front of Lin Li.
And on this fragment...
A faint afterimage of a three-colored spirit fire could be seen. Although it was only for a moment, it was just that fleeting shadow that caused a silver-gray teleportation array to appear under Lin Li's feet.
After being enveloped by a stream of silvery-gray light, Lin Li's figure instantly disappeared from Feng Yuan's sight, leaving the stone chamber of this array node.
"This is…"
"The teleportation array of Lingxu City!"
"Could it be... the inner city!"
At this moment, Feng Yuan, the old ghost, who was at the edge of the stone chamber, still looked at the silver-gray teleportation array that had disappeared on the ground, and the shock in his eyes had not faded.
"Who...are you?"
There was a pause of a few breaths.
Feng Yuan, the old ghost, walked to the place where Lin Li had been teleported away, a greedy glint in his eyes, and touched the spot where the formation had disappeared.
That's the inner city of Lingxu City!
For thousands of years, it seems that only one Nascent Soul cultivator has entered the inner city of Lingxu City, and after that person came out, it didn't take long for him to advance to the Divine Transformation stage.
And only ten years later, he left the cultivation world of Nan Yue and Dong Ming, crossed the Nine Heavens Fiend Wind on the border, left their territory, and disappeared without a trace.
In Feng Yuan Lao Gui's opinion, he must have been tricked by an old monster.
The other party must have possessed his disciple's body.
To achieve this level of skill without making a sound, one must be at least a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator or even a Nascent Soul stage demon.
...
...
"Cough cough cough!"
Lin Li felt as if his body was being pierced by ten thousand swords.
The dantian is riddled with holes.
Blood kept flowing from his mouth, and his body was extremely weak.
At this moment, Lin Li was like a boulder falling from the sky, with almost no magical power left in his body.
The feeling of weightlessness abruptly stopped after a few dozen breaths.
Bang! !
Lin Li seemed to have crashed to the ground; it was hard and cold.
At this time.
The Soul-Suppressing Seal deep within Lin Li's sea of consciousness also completely subsided, showing no further reaction, and the oval-shaped iron piece had also disappeared without a trace.
The power of divine consciousness is also pitifully small.
so tired!
An extreme feeling of weakness washed over me, and my eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Before falling into a deep sleep, Lin Li used his remaining divine sense to open Xuanzhao's spirit pet pouch and gave it an order to be vigilant about its surroundings.
After a long time.
When Lin Li woke up, he was already in a small cave. When he used his divine sense, he could only perceive the area within a few dozen steps around him.
Because the purplish-red pill shattered and exploded inside the body, the resulting backlash caused considerable damage to both the physical body and the soul.
Lin Li looked up at the sky, and there was a small entrance a few feet above his head.
From the entrance, one can see a sky covered in dark clouds.
"Xuanzhao?"
Lin Li sensed that the divine soul imprint on Xuan Zhao's body had become extremely weak and was now quite far away from him.
The soul imprint was like a candle flame in the cold wind, flickering precariously, indicating that it had fallen into a perilous situation.
Their lives are in danger at any moment.
However, just a few breaths later.
Xuanzhao's soul imprint became dim and lifeless, and that faint connection was also severed by some kind of force.
"Is this the inner city of Lingxu City?"
"Or is it another checkpoint space in Lingxu City?"
Or perhaps they were teleported out of Spirit Ruins City!
A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Li's eyes.
He was well aware of his current state; even a Foundation Establishment stage demon could potentially kill him.
Just then, Lin Li felt a slight tremor coming from the outside, like someone's footsteps.
In the blink of an eye.
At the entrance, which was about ten feet wide, two dark green fingers, several feet thick, suddenly gripped the edge of the entrance. As if prying open a small hole in the ground, the two huge, thick fingers gently pried open the stone cave that stood there.
The roof of the grotto was suddenly lifted, revealing the face of a giant looking down. The giant was a huge, dark green puppet that was more than ten feet tall.
Click to begin your wondrous journey in "Seeking Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes: From Low-Rank Corpse to Eternal Demon God".
It was dressed in a set of black armor, and the puppet's skin was a dark green.
A pair of crimson eyes stared at Lin Li, who was lying at the bottom of the cave.
The giant had a square face, an ordinary appearance, and only his right arm remained.
The other arm was severed from the end of the forearm, and the cut was very clean, indicating that it had been cut off by some sharp weapon.
This dark green puppet giant has interconnected puppet runes on its face and exposed skin, appearing mysterious and extraordinary, with a sense of natural perfection.
"You rat demons!"
"How dare you trespass into the Spirit Ruins City!"
"Prepare to die!"
The giant, dark green puppet roared like muffled thunder.
He raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, stared at Lin Li lying in the cave, and then struck down like a thunderbolt.
In that instant, Lin Li felt he was doomed.
If I could recover to the late stage of Core Formation, perhaps I could even have a go at this mountain-sized puppet.
In its current state, it has absolutely no power to resist these puppet giants.
hum!
Just then.
Within the forest, the dormant Soul-Suppressing Seal trembled slightly once more, and a faint fluctuation of magical power emanated from it.
The dark green fist, which was already a step away from Lin Li and several times larger than his body, suddenly stopped.
The wind generated by that fist made Lin Li's white robes flutter loudly.
Then, the fist that had been standing in front of him slowly retracted.
"Rat demon, are you a spirit pet under the command of Xuandu Cave?"
The mountain-like puppet giant above spoke again.
"Xuandu Cave!"
"Is this Spirit Ruins City also a thing of the Spirit Realm?"
"It seems that this place is also closely connected with the Xuanmen lineage of the Spirit Realm."
"That's really true..."
Lin Li had even prepared for reincarnation, but unexpectedly, it was this Soul-Suppressing Seal in his sea of consciousness that came to his rescue.
"Yes, I am a spirit pet in the beast pen of Xuandu Cave."
Lin Li responded.
"Come with me."
"I'll take you away from here."
"Our master instructed that we must not obstruct any human or demon cultivators associated with the thirty-six caves on Qianyuan Mountain."
"The city of Lingxu is now severely damaged."
"I cannot escort you into the inner palace of Lingxu City. I can only send you away from this sealed place. However, I know that there is still a welcoming hall in Lingxu City that is still intact."
After saying this, the one-armed giant gently pinched the heavily injured Lin Li with two fingers, held him in his palm, and began to walk step by step into the distance.
"Could I say this is a blessing in disguise?"
Lin Li, standing in the giant puppet's palm, gazed at the plains above the gloomy sky before him.
The scene was desolate and dilapidated, with potholes and scattered rocks on the ground.
"Have you ever seen a demon with an orange-yellow fur ball?"
Lin Li sensed the Xuanzhao Divine Soul Imprint that was about to extinguish, and his expression changed as he asked.
"I don't know."
The puppet giant spoke in an icy tone.
In the blink of an eye.
As the thick black mist several hundred steps in front of them dissipated, another giant puppet, several times larger than the one carrying the Linli puppet, emerged from the black mist.
This is an even larger puppet giant, with its limbs intact and its head still intact.
This puppet is covered in visible marks from various swords, blades, and magical artifacts, leaving it scarred and battered.
"besides…"
Lin Li's heart sank, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.
There seem to be a lot of these puppet giants.
"Intruders!"
"392, why are you protecting this person?"
When the complete puppet giant saw Lin Li, its pair of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up, and it spoke in a deep, thunderous voice.
"He is a spirit pet under the command of Xuandu Cave on Qianyuan Mountain!"
"I sensed the power of the Xuanmen sect just now, so I prepared to send him to the nearby welcoming hall."
The one-armed puppet giant, known as 392, replied calmly.
"Rat demon!"
"Release the mystical power within you once."
The complete puppet giant's face, as large as a small mountain, drooped down, landing a few meters diagonally above Lin Li, staring intently at the tiny Lin Li.
At this moment, the one-armed giant holding the Linli took two steps back and assumed a defensive stance.
"274, this person is undoubtedly a spirit pet of Xuandu Cave. Do you intend to betray Lingxu City, given the instructions your master gave you?!"
The one-armed giant looked at Erqisi, who was more than two heads taller than him, and said calmly.
"Rat demon!"
"Release the mystical power within you once."
"As long as it senses the presence of Xuanmen's magical power, it will recognize you as a spirit pet under the Xuanmen lineage and spare your life."
The fully formed puppet giant continued speaking.
"this…"
Lin Li felt helpless.
A faint divine thought from within the sea of consciousness landed on the Soul-Suppressing Seal, but the Soul-Suppressing Seal did not react at all.
Lin Li understood perfectly well that the Soul-Suppressing Seal had probably been completely drained.
He was able to break free from the control of that old ghost and the fatal blow from that puppet giant.
The Soul-Suppressing Seal has already helped him twice, and now it has completely turned into a stubborn rock in his sea of consciousness.
There was no response whatsoever.
"Rat demon!"
"Release the mystical power within you!"
"Rat demon..."
The puppet giant, whose body was as solid as a mountain, spoke at an increasingly rapid pace.
But Lin Li had never cultivated any orthodox Xuanmen techniques. That Xuanmen magic power he just used was probably the last bit of power left by the Soul-Suppressing Seal.
Several dozen breaths later.
"392, you sheltered the invaders!"
"They should be equally guilty!"
"die!"
The puppet giant known as 274 looked at the one-armed puppet giant holding Linliu, his tone full of killing intent.
The words were spoken.
The puppet giant suddenly clenched its fists and swung them at the one-armed giant with the force of thunder, smashing them hard onto the one-armed giant's head.
Bang!
A deafening clang of metal clashing resounded through the heavens and earth, exploding in Lin Li's ears. Such a terrifying sound wave would surely kill a Qi Refining stage cultivator on the spot.
The one-armed giant was sent flying backward.
As it flew out, Lin Li, who was being held in its hands, also flew up into the air.
The complete puppet giant, known as 274, raised its enormous right hand and grabbed Lin Li in mid-air.
After a dull thud, everything returned to calm.
The one-armed giant, who had been blasted several miles away, rolled on the ground a dozen times before standing up. When he did, a dented fist mark was clearly visible on his head.
