347: Absolute monster

"Senior apprentice-brother Sima is still in seclusion, it seems he is about to break through to the Faxiang Realm, and may not enter the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield again." The plain-looking young man was Qin Xiaolan, another Heavenly Pride from Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

Liao Tianyou couldn't help but interject, "It's a pity, Brother Qin, you are strong in Alchemy, but in terms of strength, you are too far behind Brother Sima!"

Qin Xiaolan returned a cold glance.

"Cough!" The only monk present spoke up, "How are the Spirit Clan, Heaven Day Race, and Heaven Yin clans doing? Why are most of the living beings in this Ten Thousand Races Battlefield now spreading rumors about a mysterious existence whose Puppet Technique is heaven-defying?"

These Body Refinement cultivators are straightforward and their words are like knives, each one piercing the heart!

However, on the other hand, if it were Qin Xiaolan who was in seclusion, it would be better. If Sima Feng were here, the Human Race would not have been forced to this extent!

"The monk asked well," Wei Wenfeng said with a smile, "I was present for this matter, so I know it best."

He paused, and exclaimed, "It is indeed not an exaggeration that the Puppet Technique is heaven-defying. There are countless cultivators in this world who are proficient in Puppet Technique, but have you ever seen tens of thousands of Puppets forming a battle formation and moving in unison?

"What's even more surprising is that each of those Puppets is extraordinary. It's shameful to say, but if those Puppets were in the same Realm as me, if I were to pick one randomly, I, Wei, might not be able to gain a steady advantage!"

Liao Tianyou nodded heavily, deeply understanding, "This is not an exaggeration. I once unintentionally slashed at a Nascent Soul Realm Puppet, but I didn't hurt it at all."

He emphasized again, "I didn't hold back on this slash."

As soon as these words came out, the few Heavenly Pride present were all shocked, "Is there really such an amazing Puppet Technique? And tens of thousands of them?"

"Absolutely true!"

"So powerful, I wonder which clan's Heavenly Pride all came out to create such a scene?"

"The masters behind those Puppets haven't shown up, so who knows which clan it is? Maybe it's even from our Human Race."

"Although the Human Race has Sect inheritances that specialize in the path of Puppets, there isn't a single one that can cultivate to such a level of power."

The implication, without needing to be stated, was already clear: those existences were not from the Human Race.

"It's a pity, if such an existence were from the Human Race, our Human Race wouldn't be so passive in this Ten Thousand Races Battlefield right now!" Wei Wenfeng sighed.

For a moment, the scene fell silent.

Don't look at the Human Race's great power, Wei Wenfeng and Liao Tianyou even dared to combine their strength to break into the territory where the Heaven Day Race and the other two clans gathered, but in reality, they only bullied those small clans that were neither high nor low, killing chickens to warn monkeys, which actually played no decisive role at all.

What truly troubled the Human Race were the Nether Clan, Demon Clan, and the even more terrifying God Clan.

Many of the Heavenly Pride of these great clans came from outside of Mystic Heaven, making the already powerful Nether Clan, Demon Clan, and God Clan even more terrifying.

Conversely, the Human Race rarely received assistance from Heavenly Pride from outside of Mystic Heaven, and the gap was instantly widened. How could they hold on with just these people?

Especially with Sima Feng absent, just one Descendant of Bixi from the Demon Clan could hang and beat them one by one.

Furthermore, the God Clan also had Si Qian, who was equally terrifying. Although he hadn't made a move yet, his strength was likely not inferior to that Descendant of Bixi.

Most importantly, the strongest in the God Clan was not Si Qian, but Sacrificial Flood. This person was even so powerful that he disdained to attack them at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. As soon as he made a move, he targeted the Human Race's Faxiang Realm Great Experts and defeated them in one fell swoop, his strength was unreasonable.

There was also Meng Chang from the Nether Clan, who was said to be even stronger than the Descendant of Bixi!

After a long while, the monk was the first to break the silence, "I heard that Qingxuan Cave Heaven has another incredible Heavenly Pride. Why haven't I seen him?"

Qin Xiaolan, the only Heavenly Pride from Qingxuan Cave Heaven present, was stunned, "Why don't I know..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, "That one is already in the battlefield!"

He recalled that not long ago, Elder Leng Youqing had indeed sent him a message, stating that a towering figure had arrived from the Ancestral Land, bringing with him a peerless Heavenly Pride, and this Heavenly Pride had also entered the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

Furthermore, Elder Leng had instructed him to ensure the safety of this Heavenly Pride at all costs.

Because this Heavenly Pride was too monstrous, he was already at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Realm at less than twenty years old. Such a cultivation speed was simply unbelievable.

One must know that Qin Xiaolan himself was born with a mysterious Danlu (Pill Furnace), his Alchemy technique was unparalleled, and with countless pills to assist him, his cultivation progress had always been unique in Mystic Heaven. Even Sima Feng, the abnormally powerful fighter of Qingxuan Cave Heaven, was not as fast as him in cultivation.

But even so, he had still spent over 150 years cultivating to this day, and was now only one step away from the Faxiang Realm.

However, this speed was simply not enough compared to the peerless Heavenly Pride mentioned by Elder Leng. That person was already at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Realm before the age of twenty. If he cultivated for 150 years, he might have already entered the Tongtian Realm, become a Great Power, or even reached the Ascension Realm!

How could he compare?

Qin Xiaolan asked himself, even if he ate pills like beans, he couldn't catch up with that monstrous cultivation progress.

Because just the step of comprehending the rules of heaven and earth had blocked him to death. Even with more pills to assist his cultivation, he couldn't break through those Bottleneck hurdles!

"Qingxuan Cave Heaven still has hidden Heavenly Pride? How does he compare to Sima Feng?" Wei Wenfeng, Liao Tianyou, Gu Fengping, and the others' eyes lit up. At this juncture, every additional Heavenly Pride for the Human Race was an additional strength.

However, they were still secretly surprised. This Qingxuan Cave Heaven was indeed hiding deep. Despite already having Sima Feng and Qin Xiaolan, they still hid a Heavenly Pride, and even they, who were also from Mystic Heaven's Human Race, had never heard of him.

Since he was hidden so deeply, that Heavenly Pride, if nothing unexpected happened, should be even more powerful than Qin Xiaolan and Sima Feng.

"This poor monk also heard it from someone from the Shenquan Sect with whom I am on good terms." The monk 'Huijue' shook his head and said, "As for how strong he is, this poor monk also doesn't know."

Changing the subject, he said, "But this Heavenly Pride from Qingxuan Cave Heaven is named Lu Chen, and he has cultivated sixty-six external avatars, which is truly incredibly unbelievable!"

'Sixty-six external avatars?!'

Wei Wenfeng's eyelids twitched violently, as if in disbelief!

Not to mention Wei Wenfeng, the others, Gu Fengping, Liao Tianyou, and the rest, all felt their hearts pound upon hearing this.

External avatars are rumored to be a Divine Power that is extremely difficult to cultivate. For each one cultivated, half of one's Divine Soul must be consumed. To be able to cultivate one is already a great fortune, but that Heavenly Pride has actually cultivated sixty-six...

Is this still a Human?!

Furthermore, what is the concept of sixty-six external avatars? It is equivalent to sixty-six of himself. Others have one, he has sixty-six. Among the Heavenly Pride of the same Realm, who is his opponent?

Monstrous, absolutely monstrous!

And his accompanying Spirit Treasure must be extremely special, otherwise a normal cultivator could not possibly cultivate sixty-six external avatars, and the Divine Soul could not possibly split sixty-six times. Such splitting would be unbearable even for an Immortal.

Just as Gu Fengping and the others were still in shock and unable to recover, Qin Xiaolan had already shaken his head helplessly, "Although this one is monstrous, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to help us. He has cultivated for too short a time!"

Liao Tianyou was surprised, "Cultivated for too short a time? How short, a hundred years?"

To be able to cultivate external avatars, one should at least be in the Nascent Soul Realm. A hundred years is not considered very short. Qin Xiaolan, this Heavenly Pride who is skilled in Alchemy, did not even take a hundred years to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Qin Xiaolan shook his head again, "I don't know how long he has cultivated, but his bone age is still less than twenty years old, and his current cultivation is only at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Realm."

Bone age less than twenty, fifth level of the Nascent Soul Realm?!

At this moment, Huijue, Gu Fengping, and the others were thoroughly shocked!

Less than twenty years old, so how many years has he cultivated so far?

Even if he started cultivating from the womb, it would only be less than twenty years. If he started cultivating at ten years old, that would be a little over nine years!

If he started cultivating at sixteen...

Unthinkable, simply unthinkable!

Although in the Dao Seed Clan, some Dao Seeds are born in the Nascent Soul Realm, or even the Faxiang Realm.

There are also the Golden Crow Emperor Clan, the Dragon's Nine Sons and other pure-blooded descendants, the God Clan, and so on, many of whom are born powerful, but they are Human Race!

"No wonder your Qingxuan Cave Heaven hid this Daoist friend Lu Chen so tightly. With such terrifying cultivation speed, if he is hidden for a hundred years, he might not just be a Tongtian Realm Great Power!" Liao Tianyou exclaimed.

"This Junior Brother Lu of mine is not from Mystic Heaven," Qin Xiaolan shook his head.

Wei Wenfeng sighed, "Although your Junior Brother Lu's cultivation speed is indeed astonishing, and cultivating sixty-six external avatars is unheard of, with only the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, he indeed cannot resolve the current crisis of our Mystic Heaven Human Race. Let's wait for Senior Brother Sima to take control of the overall situation!"

Everyone sighed, wishing that Lu Chen had cultivated for a few more years.

…………

Another part of the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

"Tens of thousands of Puppets?" Si Qian of the God Clan whispered, "Which side's Heavenly Pride have come in droves?"

Dragon Qingzhou, the Descendant of Bixi, said indifferently, "As long as it's not the Human Race, let them be. The Spirit Clan, Heaven Day Race, and Heaven Yin are just three dispensable pawns, no need to bother with them."

Meng Chang of the Nether Clan was still closing his eyes, as if his spirit had wandered outside the heavens.

…………

The deepest part of the ground.

Lu Chen's consciousness had long since sunk into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

As the various Dao Soldiers returned, they also brought back a huge number of physical bodies.

Lu Chen's thoughts swept over them roughly, and he couldn't look away anymore.

"Over twenty thousand physical bodies, taking off!"

It was truly taking off.

Over twenty thousand physical bodies from the three clans, the worst of which were in the Yang Spirit Realm, and the highest were even a few great figures at the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Especially the vast majority of these were physical bodies from the Heaven Day Race and Heaven Yin clans. Lu Chen planned to directly fuse these two clans into the Sun Moon God Clan; they were his experimental subjects.

"Ten Transformations Dao Soldiers comparable to Faxiang Realm Great Experts, I wonder how many will be nurtured this time!" Lu Chen was very much looking forward to it.

Now, he was no longer satisfied with just Yin Yang Dao Soldiers comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm. What he wanted were Ten Transformations Dao Soldiers of a higher level, and even Hundred Transformations Dao Soldier on the next level.

However, with just these Yang Spirit and Nascent Soul Realm physical bodies from the three clans, it was clearly impossible to nurture Hundred Transformations Dao Soldier comparable to Tongtian Realm Great Power, so there was no need to have any expectations.

Next, lie low, nurture Dao Soldiers.

He had not forgotten his original intention for coming to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield. His purpose had never been to run rampant in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, but to obtain enough Dao Seed seeds and improve his strength.

Now that he temporarily had enough Dao Seed seeds, it was naturally time to digest them. Only by completely transforming these Dao Seed seeds into strength could Lu Chen truly achieve more in this Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

In addition, he did not leave any flaws when he displayed his Dao Soldiers in front of the various Myriad Clans living beings this time.

Including the Yin Yang Dao Soldiers that could transform into his own appearance, they only appeared in the form of ordinary Golden Armor Dao Soldier. The other more fused Dao Soldiers did not reveal their true forms like dragons or tigers.

To outsiders, these were just some Puppets.

Let the Myriad Clans in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield continue to fight, Lu Chen just sat safely in the deepest part of the ground, refining heavenly materials and earthly treasures to improve his cultivation while waiting for the Dao Soldiers to mature.

Three days passed. Lu Chen, who was refining earthly treasures to improve his Qi Refining cultivation, suddenly felt a huge and strange power surging from the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, making his Physical Body rapidly become stronger.

In just half an hour, Lu Chen's Body Refinement cultivation directly broke through from the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Realm to the fifth level.

Moreover, after entering the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, it still did not stop and continued to become stronger until finally, his Body Refinement Realm stopped at the peak of the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

"It seems my Dao Soldiers are ready."

In the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, the over five thousand Dao Seed seeds he obtained on the first day were completely digested.

Among them, three hundred and twenty-three Nascent Soul Realm physical bodies were nurtured into Yin Yang Dao Soldiers. The remaining thousand or so physical bodies from the Heaven Day Race and Heaven Yin clans were also completed and were fused by Lu Chen into a Heaven Yin Dao Soldier and a Heaven Day Race Dao Soldier respectively. Both were only at the level of Yin Yang Dao Soldiers, and not even top-tier ones.

"Not enough yet." Lu Chen did not directly fuse the combined Heaven Yin Dao Soldier and Heaven Day Race Dao Soldier.

He wanted to wait until all the Heaven Day Race and Heaven Yin clans were fused before fusing these two clans.

In addition, among the remaining nearly four thousand Dao Seed seeds, there were nearly six hundred from the Spirit Clan. All of them were fused by Lu Chen into a Spirit Clan Dao Soldier, which was also at the level of Yin Yang Dao Soldier comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm. It is worth mentioning that this Dao Soldier combined all the advantages of the Spirit Clan and was even more perfect, completely changing from being neither solid nor real to being illusory.

If he weren't the master of the Dao Soldier, even with Lu Chen's spiritual sense, he wouldn't be able to detect any trace of this Dao Soldier.

"This fused Spirit Clan Dao Soldier, if used for assassination, would definitely be the top-tier assassination expert!" Lu Chen secretly praised.

Finally, the remaining more than three thousand Dao Seed seeds were fed by Lu Chen to the Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers, resulting in a total of ten Spirit Treasure Yin Yang Dao Soldiers.

In other words, after this wave, Lu Chen's Yin Yang Dao Soldiers directly increased by three hundred and thirty-five Yin Yang Dao Soldiers.

"My current strength should already be enough to surround and kill Faxiang Realm Great Experts!"

Lu Chen secretly estimated.

However, this was not the end, because he still had over twenty thousand Dao Seed seeds that had not yet begun to be nurtured.

"Continue!"

Lu Chen was not in the least bit anxious.

Next, his Dao Soldiers would not experience explosive growth, but his strength would be greatly enhanced.

Because the next more than twenty thousand physical bodies are all from the Spirit Clan, Heaven Day Race, and Heaven Yin clans. These three clans are large in number and will all be fused by him.

At that time, Lu Chen will have at least two or three more Ten Transformations Dao Soldiers comparable to Faxiang Realm Great Experts, and they will not be ordinary Ten Transformations Dao Soldiers!
