“What?” Not only the three Martial Emperors attacking the formation, but even Sikong Jian and the other Martial Emperors showed shock.
In just one day, that blue corpse puppet had actually broken through?
It had reached the Martial Emperor realm, becoming a purple corpse puppet?
They had taken at least a hundred years to become Martial Emperors, yet this blue corpse puppet broke through so effortlessly?
“Even if it broke through, there are still two Martial Emperors attacking the formation,” Sikong Jian and others thought to themselves.
Boom!
At that moment, the purple corpse puppet clashed with Jin Huang, a light brighter than the sun bursting forth, vast ocean-like waves of energy erupting, and terrifying fluctuations pouring towards Jin Huang, sending him flying with blood spewing from his mouth.
“What?” Sikong Jian and others were stunned. The purple corpse puppet’s aura was only at the first level of Martial Emperor, yet its strength was so formidable that it injured Jin Huang, who had been a first-level Martial Emperor for decades?
Even the Martial Emperors on the Spear Dragon Sect’s side were shocked. Breaking through to Martial Emperor in a single day, aside from Ling Huang’s exceptional breakthrough, no one else present had likely achieved it so quickly.
Some took decades in seclusion to break through from half-step Martial Emperor to Martial Emperor. Refining a treasure to break through in one day was unimaginable.
Moreover, its combat strength was so powerful that if it were a person, it would inspire intense envy.
Even as a corpse puppet, it was enviable.
“Swish!”
At that moment, the purple corpse puppet charged towards Fan Huang, its five fingers clenched, the surrounding space turning eerie, five beams of finger light shooting out, accompanied by ghostly wails, rolling yin energy surging forth.
“Attack together!” Fan Huang’s face showed fear as he shouted, wielding a long saber, brilliant saber light flashing, dazzling radiance stirring unmatched fluctuations, whipping up fierce winds to meet the terrifying five beams of finger light.
Without Fan Huang needing to say more, Luo Huang had already acted, his powerful long sword slashing down.
The dazzling sword light, as if encompassing all things, carried unmatched Martial Emperor force, surging with terrifying fluctuations, following Fan Huang’s attack to strike the five beams of finger light.
“Boom!” “Boom!”…
Two thunderous roars resounded, waves of energy like raging seas bursting forth, immense fluctuations sending Fan Huang and Luo Huang flying.
This shocked everyone again.
One Martial Emperor could be directly injured, and two could be easily repelled. Was this purple corpse puppet’s combat strength too formidable?
Fan Huang and Luo Huang’s faces showed surprise. Though the strike didn’t injure them, it churned their blood, making their bodies uncomfortable.
Boom!
At that moment, Jin Huang, previously injured, charged again, his unmatched Martial Emperor power like a long river, surging towards the purple corpse puppet.
“Attack together!” Jin Huang shouted.
Fan Huang and Luo Huang quickly unleashed attacks, brilliant lights flashing, terrifying forces striking the purple corpse puppet.
The purple corpse puppet, with rolling yin energy and immense momentum, waved its palms repeatedly, eerie and terrifying forces blocking the trio’s attacks.
Then, facing three opponents, it held its own, even gaining the upper hand, forcing the three to retreat repeatedly.
The purple corpse puppet’s combat strength was extraordinarily terrifying.
At this point, the Martial Emperors on Ling Sword Sect’s side looked grim. All three attacking the formation were held up. Who would break the formation now? Were they to wait for Lin Xiao to break through?
In contrast, those within the Nine Heavens Sect breathed a sigh of relief. With the purple corpse puppet holding them off, the formation was temporarily safe.
Seeing that they not only failed to suppress the purple corpse puppet but were losing ground, Luo Huang soon lost patience and shouted to the others, “You two hold off the purple corpse puppet. I’ll break the formation.”
With that, Luo Huang darted out from another direction, no longer joining Fan Huang and Jin Huang to attack the formation but charging towards it.
Fan Huang and Jin Huang frowned. The three were already at a disadvantage, and facing the purple corpse puppet with just the two of them would be extremely difficult, possibly leading to injuries.
However, seeing Luo Huang’s resolve, as if he were about to use some method, they gritted their teeth and held on.
While attacking the purple corpse puppet, they retreated, luring it outward.
The purple corpse puppet, with low sentience and only programmed to attack, wouldn’t think to specifically block Luo Huang.
Soon, Luo Huang reached the Nine Heavens Sect’s formation, gritted his teeth, and took out a talisman obtained from the Sacred Emperor Ruins.
“This was meant to save my life, Lin Xiao. You forced me to do this!”
With that, Luo Huang crushed the talisman, an incomparably terrifying aura spreading, instantly filling hundreds of miles, making the other fighting Martial Emperors’ hearts tremble.
Even Sikong Jian and Dongfang Kaiyuan felt a chill, and all battles stopped at that moment, all eyes turning to Luo Huang.
“Swish!”
A blindingly piercing light burst forth, an immeasurable terrifying force shooting from Luo Huang’s hand, a semicircular edge like an incomparably sharp weapon, slashing into the formation barrier.
“Boom!”…
A sound like nine heavens’ thunder roared, the earth shook, and the defensive barrier covering a hundred miles was torn apart, vast energy exploding outward.
The moment the barrier was breached, it sent unmatched fluctuations outward, pushing all the erupting energy waves away, this final strike not affecting the interior.
This was the defensive formation’s last act of protection.
In that instant, all Martial Emperors were stunned, especially those on the Spear Dragon Sect’s side.
The formation, unbreached by eleven Martial Emperors’ combined attack, was broken by the force from Luo Huang’s hand?
What kind of thing did Luo Huang possess?
“It’s a talisman from that place. He obtained a powerful talisman!” Dongfang Kaiyuan saw it at once, his brows furrowing as the formation broke. “Stop him quickly!”
With that, he turned and sped towards the Nine Heavens Sect.
But how could Sikong Jian let him go? Like lightning, he charged, his terrifying sword light shaking the void, surging towards Dongfang Kaiyuan.
“Sect Leader Dongfang, please stay,” Sikong Jian’s voice rang out.
Previously, he had been blocked by Dongfang Kaiyuan from attacking the formation. Now that Dongfang Kaiyuan wanted to break away to help, he wouldn’t let him succeed.
Elsewhere, fierce battles erupted, with the roles of blockers and attackers reversing.
At that moment, on a main peak of the Nine Heavens Sect, amidst the earth’s violent shaking, the members of Spear Dragon Sect and Nine Heavens Sect were dazed.
Originally, with the purple corpse puppet holding off three attackers, preventing them from targeting the formation, even one breaking free wouldn’t easily breach it.
Who would have thought Luo Huang possessed such a terrifying treasure, reversing the situation?
“Hahaha, Lin Xiao, your time is up!” A thunderous laugh burst from Luo Huang.
All the Martial Lords of the Luo family had been wiped out by Lin Xiao and his group, the Luo family crippled by him. Now, having used his life-saving trump card, Luo Huang could finally kill him, venting all his rage.
