It was frightened just now by Ye Feng's feat of creating a soul-swallowing river, and it desperately wanted to regain its strength in order to gain some power to protect itself. In its view, following Ye Feng, a lunatic, there is a possibility that he might treat it as a "snack" and be "optimized" together with him at any time.
"Oh? Are you so kind to show me the way?" Ye Feng was a little surprised.
"Humph! I just don't want to stay in the body of a host whose soul may collapse and die suddenly at any time!" Xiaoxing said forcefully.
Ye Feng smiled and did not point out anything. He followed Xiaoxing's guidance and led everyone to turn around.
After walking for about half an hour, the outline of a towering black building appeared at the end of the horizon.
It was a huge palace, made entirely of an unknown black metal. Even though most of it had collapsed, the remaining parts still exuded an ancient, desolate, sacred and dead atmosphere.
Its architectural style is completely different from any school of the immortal and demon clans, and is full of rough and powerful lines.
"The Ancient Temple..." Shangguan Yu spat out four words, his eyes becoming hot. According to legend, in the last era, the gods were one of the most powerful races in the world. The weapons they forged and the magical powers they cultivated all had the power to destroy the heaven and the earth.
Everyone was refreshed and quickened their pace. This temple looks extraordinary at first glance, and there must be a great opportunity hidden inside.
However, when they came to the temple and saw the scene in front of the temple clearly, everyone stopped in their tracks.
A figure stood quietly in front of the huge door of the temple that was a hundred feet high.
It was a metal creature over three feet tall, resembling an armored giant.
It is also made of that unknown black metal, with countless complex and profound golden runes engraved on its surface. Those runes seemed to be alive, flowing slowly on the metal surface, exuding heart-stopping law fluctuations.
It has no breath of life and no soul fluctuation. It just stands there quietly, like an eternal sculpture. But the sense of oppression it brought was a hundred times more terrifying than the previous Immortal-level corpse disaster.
"Is this...a puppet?" Hu Tianzong's voice was a little dry.
"It's the 'Dao Pattern Puppet'." In Ye Feng's sea of consciousness, Xiaoxing's voice was full of fear, "The war weapon of the ancient protoss. Its body is the 'Shenxu Xuanjin', which is indestructible and indestructible. What drives it is not the immortal essence, but the 'Dao pattern' engraved on it. Every Dao pattern, They all represent the embodiment of the laws of heaven and earth. Judging from the completeness of the Dao pattern, the strength of this one is definitely at the peak of the Immortal Lord, and... it has no soul, is not afraid of divine soul attacks, has no pain, is tireless, and is more difficult to deal with than the real Immortal Lord."
"Does it have any weaknesses?" Ye Feng asked.
"Yes." Xiaoxing replied, "There is a 'Daoze crystal core' on its chest, which is its energy center. As long as the crystal core can be broken, it is just a pile of scrap metal. But the question is, how do you get close to its chest without being beaten into a pulp by it?"
While they were communicating, the Dao pattern puppet seemed to sense the approach of the living being. Its metal head, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, slowly rotated, and two golden lights lit up in its two empty eye sockets.
Buzz!
An invisible thought swept across everyone, and then, in the space in front of the puppet, the flowing golden runes gathered together to form a line of domineering ancient divine inscriptions.
"Beat me, or die."
A cold killing intent instantly locked onto everyone.
"Let me try!" Shangguan Yu's eyes were full of fighting spirit. As a sword cultivator, he is eager to challenge the strong. This ancient puppet that only exists in legends is the best sword sharpening stone in front of him!
He let out a long roar, the wine gourd in his hand glowed with green light, and his whole body turned into a shocking sword rainbow, rising into the sky.
"Xiaoyaoyou, open the sky with one sword!"
A brilliant blue sword light, carrying the Xiaoyao sword intention to cut off all the shackles of the world, struck the head of the Dao Wen puppet head-on. This sword is enough to severely injure an ordinary early stage Immortal Master.
Faced with this stunning sword, the Dao Wen puppet's reaction was extremely simple. It just slowly raised its right arm and faced the sword light with its huge metal palm.
Clang——!
A deafening sound of gold and iron clashed.
Shangguanyu's sword that could open up the world struck the puppet's palm, but it only exploded into a ball of brilliant sparks, leaving a shallow white mark on it.
And the palm of the puppet did not even move.
"How is that possible!" Shangguan Yu's pupils shrank suddenly.
The puppet didn't give him time to be shocked. It raised its right arm and swung its fingers together, turning into a huge iron fist and hitting Shangguan Yu in mid-air at a seemingly slow but actually extremely fast speed.
There is nothing fancy about this punch, just pure power.
Before the punch came, the terrifying wind of the punch was already so heavy that the space began to distort.
Shangguanyu's face changed drastically, his body twisted incredibly in the air, and he narrowly avoided the punch. But just by the wind of the fist, he felt as if he had been hit hard, and his whole body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. He was already spitting out a mouthful of blood in the air.
"Brother Shangguan!" Hu Tianzong and others were shocked.
The power of one punch is so powerful!
Ye Feng's eyes narrowed.
He could clearly see that when Shangguan Yu's sword struck the puppet just now, the Dao patterns on the puppet's body instantly lit up, forming a layer of law shield that eliminated 99% of the sword's intent.
As Xiaoxing said, this thing is invulnerable. Attacking it with magic that contains laws is like hitting steel with a wooden stick, and the effect is minimal. The only way is to use power beyond the understanding of its laws, or... to find its flaws.
"Brother Ye, this thing is too hard, my sword can't break through its defense!" Shangguan Yu fell far away, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face a little pale.
"I can see it." Ye Feng nodded, but his eyes kept wandering around the puppet, observing the movement patterns of the Dao patterns on its body.
He took a step forward and faced the Dao Wen puppet.
"Boy, are you crazy? Even that sword madman can't break his defense. Are you going to die?" Xiaoxing was anxious.
"Who said I have to confront it head-on?" Ye Feng asked back.
He looked at the tall puppet and suddenly said: "Hey, big man, how about we play a game?"
The puppet did not respond, but the golden light in its eyes locked onto him, as if judging the threat level of his new target.
Ye Feng did not wait for its answer and smiled to himself.
The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.
"Little Star Fighting Formation", open!
Buzz!
A bright starry sky instantly spread out with the Dao Wen Puppet as the center, enveloping it. But this starry sky is different from the past. Instead of lowering the power of the stars to attack, it turned into a bizarre maze. Space is constantly folding, twisting, and transforming. One moment you were on the ground, and the next moment you were in an abyss.
