Chapter 189: Puppet Rune

“Heaven and Earth Cage!”

Hu Feng surged the Prime Force within his body and thrust his sword with all his might.

This sword thrust was not to chase the Puppet Ancestor Igula, who ran faster than a rabbit, but to stab at the remaining two Demi-god Puppets that could still move. With two crisp ‘ding ding’ sounds, he knocked them away. Following that, he grabbed at the void with his right hand, and the vast Prime Force turned into tough ropes. With everyone’s help, he tightly bound the four injured Demi-god Puppets.

One should not chase a desperate enemy; a Grand Puppeteer like Igula had endless sinister and despicable means. After startling him away with one move, Hu Feng did not recklessly chase after him but went all out to trap the four Demi-god Puppets.

Four War Puppets with full Demi-god strength!

Snatching four such power ful treasures from Igula’s hands, this trip to the Dragon’s Grave had already yielded a bountiful harvest! With these four powerful Demi-god Puppets, he finally had the strength to roam freely across the Wasteland. The Demon God imprisoned deep in the Cursed Valley, the Demon God Essence Blood near Sin City in the Underground World, and even the forbidden lands like the legendary North Sea Graveyard, he now had the qualifications to enter and explore them!

“Lord, do you want to chase after him?”

The Holy Angel Taliana looked imposing, holding the sharp Blade of the Angel, focusing her mind to sense the faint presence in the air.

After recovering to ninety percent of her strength, the might of a Sixteenth Step peak Holy Angel gradually revealed itself; her strength was much greater than an ordinary Demi-god Stronger. Fighting in coordination with the Witch Elder Natalia, who was skilled in poison and curses, was simply a dream combination; one was responsible for close-range attacks, the other for long-range damage. These two Demi-god Strongers became the two top experts beside Hu Feng without a doubt!

Although her injuries had not fully recovered and she only had one arm, which was somewhat regrettable. But precisely because of this regret, she, usually cold, calm, and decisive, looked a bit more gentle and approachable. She did not look like a complete killing machine.

“No, we will station right here. Taliana, set up the formation, quickly!”

Hu Feng could not care about leaving this place; he quickly took out the massive Grand Witch Altar and sat on it.

With a thought, ten huge Demon God Clones appeared outside his body, guarding the surroundings; they roared in unison, and from the endless Void, profound Demon God Intent rolled in. At the same time, under the leadership of the Holy Angel Taliana, everyone worked together to set up a huge Guardian Magic Array. Soon, thick fog enveloped the dense forest within a radius of several kilometers.

“Soul Erosion, Grand Puppet Technique!”

Hu Feng shouted loudly, grabbed at the void with his right hand, and grabbed a paralyzed Demi-god Puppet in front of him. His powerful Divine Sense surged into the puppet’s mind, driving out, eroding, and devouring the Soul Imprint left by the Puppet Ancestor Igula in this puppet’s mind. The powerful soul attack set off an invisible wave; the paralyzed Demi-god Puppet looked dull, and after trembling all over, its eyes suddenly became gentle. Hu Feng moved his mind and retracted the Prime Force ropes binding him, and this Demi-god Puppet then respectfully prostrated itself.

Grand Puppet Technique!

In Graham City, after devouring the City Lord Quentin’s power and memory, Hu Feng’s Grand Puppet Technique advanced by leaps and bounds. Compared to the Puppet Ancestor Igula, there might still be a big gap, but devouring the Soul Imprint he left behind was no problem. Soon, he truly obtained a Demi-god Puppet that he could command with ease.

More and more Demon Hunters poured into the Dragon’s Grave, among them were top experts like Prince Arthas who were only half a step away from breaking through to the Divine Domain and becoming a high-ranking god-like figure. With experts standing all around, Hu Feng did not dare to be negligent; he refined the four captives into controllable Demi-god Puppets as fast as possible to avoid any unexpected troubles.

“Blackwater, I will kill you, one day, I will kill you!”

From the distance came a hoarse shout filled with unprecedented unwillingness and boundless anger.

Sensing that the four Demi-god Puppets had lost control and become Hu Feng’s possessions, the Puppet Ancestor Igula’s heart bled in pain. Four whole Demi-god Puppets! How much blood had he spent to refine these four powerful War Puppets?

Originally, he planned to lie in ambush around the Dragon’s Grave surrounded by experts, waiting for an opportunity to get a share of the spoils. He didn’t expect to lose the lady and the soldiers; not only did he fail to refine Hu Feng into a puppet, but he also had his biggest reliance stolen away.

“Damn it, who is this guy to Black Horn, how does he have so many experts protecting him closely?”

Igula roared loudly, wishing he could summon all his puppet army to crush Hu Feng, this despicable Lich, to death. But after sensing the many old monsters lurking in the darkness and thinking about the Holy Angel and Witch Elder beside Hu Feng, he had to grit his teeth and swallow this insult.

The Holy Angel Taliana was one thing, but the Witch Elder Natalia’s Great Curse Technique still made him shudder when he recalled it!

“Kill me?”

Hu Feng smiled coldly, and his massive Puppet Demon God body shrank rapidly, finally turning into a leaf that landed in his hand.

Puppet Rune!

Following the Grand Illusion Demon God, another Demon God Clone condensed a Demon God Rune.

Erasing the Soul Imprint left by the Puppet Ancestor in the minds of the Demi-god Puppets not only gave him four powerful Demi-god Puppets but also allowed him to further comprehend the profound Grand Puppet Technique. With the help of the Grand Witch Altar, he condensed the Puppet Rune in one go. His comprehension of the Grand Puppet Technique stepped onto a new level!

Condensing the Puppet Rune consumed a large amount of Origin Power. Under the protection of the Holy Angel Taliana and the others, Hu Feng focused on cultivating on the spot, quietly waiting for the arrival of the opportunity.

Boom…

The laws of time and space above the Dragon’s Grave became increasingly chaotic, and the energy was disordered, occasionally setting off raging Dragon Force Storms. Some unprepared Demon Hunters were instantly swept into the air and torn into pieces, their miserable screams rising and falling. The Dragon Force Storms became increasingly irregular, the whole ground gradually began to shake, and cracks appeared on the ground.

The Dragon’s Grave became increasingly dangerous, especially around the grave of the massive Primordial Heavenly Dragon King, where the danger was unpredictable. However, seeing that the Primordial Heavenly Dragon King’s remains were about to emerge, the Demon Hunters gathered around did not decrease in number but instead increased. Some ordinary Demon Hunters who did not even have Saint Domain strength also came to join in the fun unknowingly, each one excited, looking at the dragon reliefs around the Dragon’s Grave eager to try.

“Brother Vinnie, are you ready?”

“Ready, as soon as the Heavenly Dragon Crystals spray out, we’ll rush up immediately. We’ll grab as many as we can!”

“Hahaha, Heavenly Dragon Crystals! If we grab one, we won’t have to worry for the rest of our lives!”

…

Watching the changes in the Dragon’s Grave, the Demon Hunters were extremely excited, subconsciously moving forward, afraid of being pushed to the back by the crowd.

The Primordial Heavenly Dragon King’s remains were unparalleled in the world, destined to be the possession of top experts at the Demi-god Peak, and many Demon Hunters knew this wisely. Their target was the Heavenly Dragon Crystals that the Dragon’s Grave was about to spray out. This kind of high-quality Crystal, not to mention in the Wasteland, was rare even in the entire Dallas Continent. As long as they could grab a few pieces, they would be satisfied.

“Lord, it’s getting more and more dangerous here, should we leave immediately?”

Looking at the Dragon’s Grave with increasing movement and sensing the surrounding situation, the Holy Angel Taliana had a worried look on her face, “There are more and more experts lurking in the darkness, many of whom have cultivated to the Demi-god Peak, and even… even one can sense the aura of some experts who have surpassed the Demi-god Realm!”

The usually calm and collected Holy Angel looked as if she was facing a formidable enemy, gripping the sharp Blade of the Angel tightly, with a faint silhouette of the Gate of Heaven appearing behind her, ready to strike. Even back at Saintess Peak, when her strength had not yet recovered, she was not as nervous as at this moment!

“Surpassed the Demi-god Realm?”

Hu Feng was shocked, realizing that the situation was even more dangerous than he had imagined. After a moment of contemplation, he put away everyone and the Grand Witch Altar. Covered in a mass of black air, he decisively retreated. While many ordinary Demon Hunters couldn’t wait to speed up and rush over, he wisely chose to retreat, withdrawing nearly five kilometers before lurking in the darkness, watching the movement around the Dragon’s Grave from a distance.

Surpassing the Demi-god Realm meant that an expert in the secular world had truly become a high-ranking god looking down on all living beings! It was only a thin line away from the Demi-god Peak, but the strength was worlds apart. Even if a hundred Demi-god Peak experts attacked together, they might not be a match for a Divine Domain Stronger!

Meeting a Demi-god Peak expert like the Previous Saintess Flochra, Hu Feng asked himself that he might still have the strength to fight, but meeting a Divine Domain Stronger would definitely be a dead end!

Rumble, rumble…

Just as Hu Feng retreated, the Dragon’s Grave shook violently, and the cracks on the ground grew larger, with some places cracking into unfathomable canyons. Some Demon Hunters who could not dodge in time accidentally fell down, and for a long time, miserable screams still came up from the depths of the ground, making one’s hair stand on end.

Seeing the Dragon’s Grave shaking so terribly, some Demon Hunters turned around and fled in terror, but the vast majority of Demon Hunters not only did not retreat but rubbed their hands together excitedly waiting for the final moment. After a Earth-Shaking tremor, with a ‘crash’, the high mountain in the center of the Dragon’s Grave split open at the top, spraying out a large number of Crystals, scattering around like rain. Along with the Crystals, many priceless treasures also fell; there were swords that could cut through iron like mud, and armors that were impervious to knives and spears… instantly causing an unprecedented sensation!

“Attack!”

“Heavenly Dragon Sword, heavens, that is the legendary Heavenly Dragon Sword. It’s mine, this sword is mine!”

…

Seeing the treasures falling on the ground like rain, the people who had been waiting for a long time turned red-eyed and scrambled to pounce on them. Seeing some fast Demon Hunters safely picking up priceless treasures one by one and gaining huge profits, some old monsters hiding cautiously in the darkness could not help it either and whistled out in unison.

Their target was not only the treasures scattered on the ground but also the many Demon Hunters who took the lead. Soon, blood flowed like a river around the Dragon’s Grave. Some bold Demon Hunters had just picked up a treasure, but before they could be happy, their laughter stopped abruptly!
