2610 Nine Giant God Turtle Attacks (2 in 1)
It was as if the doomsday had come. At first, there were power fluctuations at the entrance of the inner city, and then darkness enveloped it. But at that time, no one felt anything, because the range of the black fog was too small.
But how long had it been? After only a moment, the periphery of the inner city was almost enveloped by darkness, and the buildings that could be seen clearly before had completely disappeared into the darkness.
As for those who stayed in the darkness and searched for opportunities, no one came out of the darkness. At this time, everyone knew that something had happened.
And this boundless darkness made them realize that the ominous had never gone far. Only at this moment did they reconsider why the Bloody Hand Mine Devils drove them into Puppet City.
Unfortunately, it was useless to think about this now. Even if they were to enter again, they would still enter Puppet City.
At this moment, the moat of Puppet City had already lit up with a light blue barrier. Behind the moat, all the puppets had retreated.
Although Han Fei hadn’t been able to control all the puppets yet, that was because his soul power wasn’t enough to support him to control all the puppets at once. It wasn’t that he couldn’t control them.
Therefore, what Han Fei could do was to send a message to all the puppets, asking some of them to gather in the God Gazing Cave and some of them to go to the foot of the mountain where the cultivation ground in the sleeping chamber was.
At this moment, Wushuang and the others had discovered even earlier that the puppets had stopped attacking them. Instead, they gathered more and more and stood in a formation, guarding outside the cultivation ground of the sleeping chamber.
Because perception could already be used in the inner city, the crowd gathered very quickly. Finding that Wushuang and a group of super strong masters were gathering outside the cultivation ground in the sleeping chamber, most people were gathering towards here.
Soon, someone from the Capital of Horror came here. After seeing Wushuang, he immediately said, “Master Wushuang, something is wrong. Endless darkness is pouring into the inner city. It should be the ominous. Half of the inner city may have been taken. We are completely trapped. What should we do now?”
Someone panicked. “Although our perception is no longer restricted, we still can’t completely connect to our Origin Stars. If this goes on, we will be swallowed by the ominous sooner or later.”
Someone was horrified. “I heard that even the gods can’t resist the ominous’ corrosion. The Great Monarch Bloody Hand is a classic example. I thought we were here to find the inheritance of the Great Monarch, but there’s clearly something wrong now!”
People from other forces were also complaining to their leaders and strong cultivators. They were not afraid of death, but they didn’t want to die in an unknown darkness. This was countless times more painful than dying in battle.
Wushuang glanced at the top of the mountain and said solemnly, “Don’t panic. At this point, we can only wait and see. The puppets of Puppet City are gathering and have given up attacking us. They must be preparing for battle.”
Someone smiled bitterly. “But who are we fighting? We don’t even know who the enemy is. It’s just darkness.”
In fact, there was nothing Wushuang could do. She also panicked. She had thought that she was only here to cooperate with Han Fei, but who would have expected this trip to be so dangerous? If she had known, she might as well have stayed in the Capital of Horror to prove Dao. At least after proving Dao, she might have had the power to protect herself.
And now, she could only trust Han Fei.
She knew that since Han Fei had asked her to help, he probably wouldn’t let anything happen to her. Otherwise, Han Fei wouldn’t be able to pass the test of his heart.
Han Fei probably didn’t expect such a situation either. If even he couldn’t do anything, the outcome would be unimaginable.
More than two hours later.
The northern expedition army, the ferocious beasts, and the divine beasts had all gathered outside the cultivation ground of the sleeping chamber.
At this time, after the people all gathered, the hearts of Wushuang and the others became heavy. They didn’t feel it before, but at this moment, when they gathered again, they found that there were only less than 6,000 people left in the northern expedition army with less than 2,500 ferocious beasts and only 2,200 divine beasts left.
There were only about 10,000 people left.
However, when they came, the total number of the soldiers of the three forces exceeded 22,000.
After only a few days, half of their manpower had been lost.
It was understandable that there were many casualties in the previous northern expeditions, because there were never so many strong cultivators in the previous northern expeditions.
But this time, the people who participated in the northern expedition were at least strong cultivators in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm. With this casualty rate, if they really left the northern mining area alive, no one would dare to come to the northern mining area again.
At this moment, the people were all chattering.
Someone cursed angrily, “It’s all the Human Butcher’s fault. He said that we could find opportunities and the inheritance of the Great Monarch here, but in the end? He led us into the ominous. I think he has probably been corroded by the ominous.”
Someone echoed, “That’s right. Human Butcher was the one who initiated this northern expedition. It’s all his fault that this happened.”
Someone said coldly, “Do you think a strong master like him cares about us? He disappeared after entering the inner city. I heard that he’s on the top of this mountain at this moment. Why don’t we go up to find him?”
Someone said agitatedly, “Yes, let’s fight our way up. This mountain is definitely extraordinary. The Human Butcher will get the opportunity, but we are here to fight an ominous. That’s unfair! Let’s fight our way up.”
Someone sneered. “Fight our way up? Are you out of your mind? Look over there, there are nearly 100,000 puppets. Do you think we can beat 100,000 people and reach the top of the mountain? Are you dreaming?”
After cursing Han Fei, the news that Mo Jiu was corroded by the ominous was exposed. After all, many people witnessed how Mo Jiu ended up. The northern expedition army, the divine beasts, and even the ferocious beasts all witnessed it.
Therefore, at this moment, everyone targeted the ferocious beasts.
Someone roared, “Why was the commander of the ferocious beasts corroded? You ferocious beasts, don’t say you don’t know. Tell me, was this premeditated?”
Roar!
A black flood dragon shouted angrily, “Bullshit, Master Mo Jiu just happened to be tricked by the Great Monarch Bloody Hand. It’s just that Master Mo Jiu is too strong, so he was targeted by the remnant soul of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand. The real culprit is the Great Monarch Bloody Hand. What does it have to do with us?”
A single-horned old bull growled. “Don’t blame everything on us. If we had known earlier, we wouldn’t be with you now. We would have run away.”
Someone from the divine beasts mocked, “Who knows? Anyway, the current trouble of Puppet City is definitely related to Mo Jiu. Otherwise, the remnant soul of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand would have entered long ago if he could. Why would he drive the northern expedition army into Puppet City? It only means that he couldn’t enter at all before. And Mo Jiu must have destroyed some seals after entering Puppet City, allowing the remnant soul of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand to take advantage of it.”
A demon butterfly said angrily, “You sanctimonious guys only know how to shirk responsibility. If it weren’t for Master Mo Jiu, maybe Bai Fei would have been targeted by the Great Monarch Bloody Hand. You’re just lucky. Now shut up.”
The three parties were quarreling, and Han Fei heard it all. Because he now controlled Puppet City, how could these people escape his ears?
Mystic One said, “It seems that your reputation is not very good.”
Han Fei said, “What’s the use of a good reputation? Which strong master has a good reputation before becoming a strong master? Who can become a Monarch without stepping on bones?”
Mystic One didn’t deny it. He simply asked, “So, can you control the whole city now?”
Han Fei shook his head. “Not yet. The outer city has been conquered, so has the inner city’s moat. And Puppet City is one. Even if I control Puppet City now, what can I do?”
Mystic One said, “Only the other side of the moat can be considered the real Puppet City. You can abandon other places. After you completely control Puppet City, you can transform it into a small world and take it away at any time.”
Han Fei shook his head. “I can already control the territory on the other side of the moat, but I won’t just leave with this city. Although the northern expedition army outside is not related to me, they’re here because of me. Once I take over Puppet City, these people will be completely thrown to the wilderness. What awaits them will only be being devoured by the ominous. There’s no second possibility. Therefore, I have to fight this battle. I discovered that a large amount of purification power seems to be stored in Puppet City. If it’s released, can it purify this mass of the ominous?”
Mystic One shook his head. “Maybe yes if Mystic Martial were here, but you can’t. You can’t restrain the remnant soul of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand, so even if you completely release the power of purification, you can only kill more than 50% of the Bloody Hand Mine Devils at most, but you can’t solve the root cause, the Great Monarch Bloody Hand.”
Han Fei asked, “The Nine Giant God Turtle has sealed itself for so long. Can its remaining combat power defeat the remnant soul of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand?”
After the Nine Giant God Turtle came out, Han Fei knew that the Nine Giant God Turtle was definitely not what it used to be. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have to seal himself for a million years and wait for a battle with the ominous.
Furthermore, the old turtle’s message was to treat Mystic One well and bury Nine Giant properly. This meant that the old turtle had long expected the Nine Giant God Turtle to be sacrificed in the battle with the remnant soul of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand.
Mystic One said, “The Nine Giant God Turtle was heavily injured back then. His situation is similar to mine. He can only show his brilliance once more. However, I don’t think he can defeat the remnant soul of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand.”
Han Fei frowned. “The remnant soul of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand seems to only have the power of the Carefree Level now, right?”
Mystic One said, “Don’t believe what you see. The true power of the remnant soul of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand is definitely more than that. Even if he’s really at the Carefree Level, he can borrow the ominous power. If he doesn’t want to be indestructible, the remnant soul of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand won’t die. Therefore, the real source of the crisis is this mass of the ominous. If it’s just the remnant soul of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand, he definitely won’t dare to invade Puppet City. But now that the remnant soul of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand has brought such a large mass of the ominous over, neither I nor the Nine Giant God Turtle are confident of completely purifying them.”
Han Fei frowned. “Not even with all the purification power of Puppet City?”
Mystic One said, “It’s hard to say. If we were in our peak state, anyone could solve him. The problem is that we are no longer in our peak state. The Nine Giant God Turtle only has one chance to attack. As for me, I only have the remnant soul left too, and my strength has fallen to the bottom. I’m only at the Dao Proving Level, not even the Carefree Level.”
Han Fei frowned. “Didn’t the Demon Vanquishing Tree say that there is an Immortal-level power in Puppet City?”
Mystic One explained, “That’s the Demon Vanquishing Tree. When the Demon Vanquishing Tree completely borrows the power of Puppet City, it can indeed unleash the combat power of an immortal-level strong cultivator. But the Demon Vanquishing Tree is gone!”
Han Fei couldn’t help being curious. “By the way, where did Old Yuan and the Demon Vanquishing Tree go?”
Mystic One didn’t keep it a secret. He said, “He went to find himself. Mystic Martial is too weak now. Even if he devours all the turtle eggs he left behind, he can only rebuild his body and reach the edge of Dao Proving. He hasn’t even proven Dao yet, so he can only continue to search for the molting he left behind. The Demon Vanquishing Tree is the only living creature in Puppet City, so he naturally has to follow Mystic Martial.”
Han Fei was speechless. Old Yuan really thought highly of him. Why did he leave such a big mess to him?
Golden light circulated on Han Fei’s body as he said, “How long can the moat last?”
Mystic One said, “That depends on how long it will take for Puppet City to exhaust the purification power. If the remnant soul of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand recklessly launches an attack and lets the Bloody Hand Mine Devil break through the barrier regardless of the consequences, I estimate it will take six hours.”
The corners of Han Fei’s mouth twitched. Six hours? Six hours was not enough!
Han Fei suddenly rose and stopped refining Puppet City.
He took a deep breath and said, “If you, the Nine Giant God Turtle, and I join forces to kill the remnant soul of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand, do you think it’s possible?”
“You?”
Mystic One was taken aback for a moment. “You want to use the power of the Puppet Heart? But even so, your Great Dao hasn’t been upgraded into a law. You can’t be a match for the Great Monarch Bloody Hand.”
Han Fei said, “But at least I have the strength to fight, right? If I don’t take him down, everyone will die, including me. Therefore, rather than relying on others passively, I prefer to choose by myself. Six hours or even six days is not enough for me to completely control the Puppet Heart. In that case, why don’t we fight?”
A glimmer flashed in Mystic One’s eyes. At this moment, he seemed to understand why Mystic Martial chose this person. It was not his talent, but his temperament.
He had never seen a Sky Opener who dared to attack a Great Monarch, even if this Great Monarch was only a remnant soul. Even if this Great Monarch’s remnant soul was no longer the same as before after a million years, he was still a Great Monarch, an existence who had once experienced supreme power.
Han Fei said, “Now, I’m the only unrestricted person in the entire Puppet City. I’m going to my Origin Star to make some preparations. I’ll return in six hours.”
With that, Han Fei ignored Mystic One and entered his Origin Star.
After entering his Origin Star, Han Fei did nothing but sleep for seven days and seven nights. He was too tired and mentally exhausted. After taking over the Puppet Heart, he obtained so much information that he almost couldn’t think straight.
Seven days later, Han Fei recovered his mental state and didn’t cultivate. Cultivation at this time was meaningless. What he had to do was to use all the means available to him to deal with the remnant soul of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand.
First of all, he couldn’t be short of Clean Stones. No matter how powerful the Great Monarch Bloody Hand was, he was now contaminated by the ominous, and Clean Stones were specifically used to purify the ominous.
If the purification power that Puppet City absorbed and stored from the minerals could seriously injure the strength of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand, then his three hundred million Clean Stones, plus the five hundred million Clean Stones that Luo Chen hid and the seven hundred million Clean Stones that An Shanbei hid, added up to a total of 1.5 billion Clean Stones.
Even if these Clean Stones couldn’t directly purify the Great Monarch Bloody Hand, as long as they were used well, Han Fei was confident that it wouldn’t be a problem to eliminate 10,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils.
Of course, if possible, Han Fei would never use the Clean Stones to purify the Bloody Hand Mine Devils. This was because he had a large number of puppets. If he really wanted to deal with the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, he could use the puppets. Therefore, the 1.5 billion Clean Stones were mainly prepared for the Great Monarch Bloody Hand.
Secondly, the Extreme Cold Pearl needed to be filled with power. This was simple. Just throw it on the path of extreme cold on his Original Great Dao, and it would be refilled in three hundred seconds.
Then, there were only the things on Han Fei’s Origin Star…
Puppet City.
At this moment, the perception suppression of Puppet City was already very weak. Therefore, at this moment, everyone could see that outside the moat, countless Bloody Hand Mine Devils were frantically attacking the barrier protecting the city.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Every time a self-detonation of a Bloody Hand Mine Devil occurred, the barrier would tremble.
At this moment, who was in the mood to find any opportunities! Once this spiritual barrier was broken, they wouldn’t be able to escape.
Six hours passed. For everyone, it was six hours of torture.
In the God Gazing Cave, the Nine Giant God Turtle looked at the cultivation field in the sleeping chamber from time to time. He was very curious about how Han Fei was doing now. He naturally knew that Han Fei had passed Mystic One’s test and entered the cultivation field in the sleeping chamber.
However, he also knew that it was quite difficult to completely control Puppet City in such a short period of time.
He felt that Han Fei’s best choice was to abandon the people he had brought and use the Puppet Heart to collect Puppet City. In this way, it shouldn’t be a problem for Han Fei to escape.
However, once the barrier of the moat was broken, it would be impossible for Han Fei to take away Puppet City. At that time, he could only fight.
Crack…
Suddenly, a crisp voice resounded throughout the inner city.
Someone exclaimed, “Not good! The barrier is collapsing!”
Someone was horrified. “There are too many Bloody Hand Mine Devils. Every self-detonation impact is equivalent to the ultimate blow of a Perfected Star Transformation Realm strong cultivator. Is this barrier finally going to collapse?”
Someone looked nervous and said regretfully, “Am I destined to die in this damn place?”
At this time, no one complained, because complaining was useless.
At this moment, no one was bickering with each other, because they could only be united now. No matter who their opponent was, they couldn’t afford internal strife at this moment. They only hoped that when the ominous arrived, someone among them would stand up and make a reasonable suggestion to resist the ominous’ erosion.
Among them, the divine beasts were all cultivating, hoping to restore their peak combat power when the barrier of the moat was broken. This was because they knew that the power of purification and their special abilities were their only reliance.
As for the ferocious beasts, Wang Xiaojiu looked at the peak of the mountain from time to time. He was not waiting for Han Fei, but for the Emperor Sparrow. In the past, among the ferocious beasts, only the Emperor Sparrow could completely withstand the ominous.
Therefore, he wanted to rely on the Emperor Sparrow. He felt that it was impossible for the Emperor Sparrow to watch the ferocious beasts die. After all, he definitely needed the support of the ferocious beasts to return. And now, there were still 2,500 ferocious beasts here. There was no reason for the Emperor Sparrow to give up.
On the side of the Capital of Horror, Wushuang was sitting cross-legged and waiting. She didn’t believe that the disciple of the Void Temple really didn’t have any trump cards.
In the past, outside the Divine Capital Dynasty, Han Fei had summoned his senior brother for help. That battle shocked the entire East Sea Divine Realm and made the name of the Void Temple resound throughout the Sea Realm again.
But at this moment, cracks finally appeared on the spiritual barrier. Even Wushuang couldn’t sit still anymore.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
When the barrier of the moat cracked, only three seconds later, thousands of Bloody Hand Mine Devils attacked the barrier at the same time and blew themselves up crazily.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Finally, the moment that everyone was most worried about came. The barrier was broken, and the boundless darkness immediately poured into the moat.
At this moment, a deep voice shook the world.
Buzz!
A huge mineral turtle rose into the sky.
The turtle said, “I’ve been waiting for a million years. Although I can’t fight the real ominous, being able to fight again will comfort me.”
The huge turtle turned into the image of a tall and mighty puppet of strength in the void.
After transforming into a human form, the Nine Giant God Turtle opened its mouth, and a wave rippled across the void.
In an instant, the ripples hit the boundless black fog. The boundless black fog that had just crossed the moat was shaken back hundreds of kilometers by the ripples.
Clank ~
A turtle shell shield appeared in the old turtle’s hand. He waved the shield, and everyone saw that the spinning shield instantly pierced through the boundless black fog and went straight in one direction.
However, in the next moment, dozens of Bloody Hand Mine Devils met the shield head-on. Naturally, they couldn’t break the shield with a single punch, but if ten or dozens of them superposed together, the result would be different.
Even Monarchs couldn’t kill hundreds or thousands of Perfected Star Transformation Realm Body Refiners in one blow. The situation was the same now. Although the Nine Giant God Turtle was powerful, there were too many Bloody Hand Mine Devils under the control of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand! Even if they fought with sheer numbers, the Nine Giant God Turtle wouldn’t be able to kill all the Bloody Hand Mine Devils in a day.
Besides, the Bloody Hand Mine Devils were not defenseless.
At the moment when the shield was repelled, in the boundless darkness, a fist light cut through the sky, crushing all the way through the void, and repelled the Nine Giant God Turtle hundreds of kilometers away.
Crack!
A crack appeared on the shield in the hands of the Nine Giant God Turtle.
