62: The Taoist soldiers went crazy

How are Puppets made?

Puppets are all refined from precious materials, and some rare materials are even harder to come by; the more powerful and advanced the Puppet, the more this is true.

Although Lu Chen's Puppets don't look very advanced, they are crude and vastly different from real people. But the Puppets' strength is genuine, and Lu Chen even used special means to imprint the Earthly Fiend Dragon Slaying Art into them. It goes without saying that refining these Puppets must have come at an extremely high cost for Lu Chen.

It's possible that was Lu Chen's entire fortune.

Yet at this moment, Lu Chen didn't hesitate in the slightest, directly throwing all the Puppets out of the flying ship to face the myriad ghosts alone. It's hard to say how many Puppets will be left by the end, and it's even possible not even scraps will remain.

In short, whether or not he can destroy the myriad ghosts in this Infernal Ghoul Realm Diagram on this trip, Lu Chen will be the one who suffers the greatest loss!

How could this not earn the admiration of the Doujian Peak Disciples?

"Junior Brother Lu has great courage!"

'Great courage, is he serious?' Hou Liehu, who was built like an iron tower, the unremarkable Senior Apprentice-Sister Yun Zhi, and Zhu Xinzhi, who had a deep wrinkle on his forehead, exchanged glances and silently closed their mouths.

They still vividly remembered that when they were on Lingya Mountain, Lu Chen's Dao Soldiers devoured hundreds of ghosts, which was as simple as a bird eating worms. If nothing unexpected happened, Lu Chen's Dao Soldiers were extremely effective against ghosts, and those ghosts must also have some special effect on Lu Chen's Dao Soldiers.

There was no doubt about this, because back then, Lu Chen helped Yun Zhi eliminate hundreds of ghosts and helped Hou Liehu eliminate two Black-haired Zombies. As for the blood Sword Cultivator Zhu Xinzhi was fighting, Lu Chen didn't bother with him at all. It was obvious without asking that the hundreds of ghosts and Black-haired Zombies were what Lu Chen wanted.

Now, Lu Chen had silently thrown all his Dao Soldiers outside the flying ship; who knew, those Dao Soldiers might be having a feast among the myriad ghosts!

It was pitiful that the other Doujian Peak Senior apprentice-brothers and Junior Brothers knew nothing about this and were still full of praise for Lu Chen, even feeling admiration!

"Junior Brother Lu's heart is truly dark!" Zhu Xinzhi's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

It was obvious he was going after those ghosts, obvious he was craving those ghosts terribly, yet he insisted on saying he was using those Dao Soldiers as cannon fodder, making the still-ignorant Doujian Peak Senior apprentice-brothers and Junior Brothers inexplicably admire him.

This guy usually seemed approachable, gentle, and humble, but who would have thought his heart was actually dark!

However, although Hou Liehu, Yun Zhi, and Zhu Xinzhi knew Lu Chen's heart was dark, they all tacitly remained silent.

No matter what, it was true that Lu Chen released the Puppets to kill ghosts, without any falsehood, and that was enough.

"Hmm? My Dao Soldiers have started devouring ghosts." Using the Dao Soldiers' vision, Lu Chen could clearly see that within the dim, eerie, and yin energy-filled Infernal Ghoul Realm, his Dao Soldiers were like tigers entering a flock of sheep.

Eerie ghost shadows shrieked and pounced, but they were casually grabbed by the Dao Soldiers and stuffed into their mouths, swallowed whole without even needing to chew.

"Good heavens, these ghosts have no power to resist in the hands of my Dao Soldiers!" Even Lu Chen himself was surprised by this.

The other Doujian Peak Disciples couldn't see the situation deep within the Infernal Ghoul Realm, but Lu Chen could see it clearly.

More importantly, those ghosts were not just random creatures; the lowest were at the Penetrating Aperture Realm, and the highest had even subtly surpassed the Mysterious Method, seemingly stepping onto the threshold of the Dao Embryo.

Feng Yue said that even a master of the Dao Infant Realm entering this Infernal Ghoul Realm Diagram might perish because of it, and that was not an exaggeration at all.

Furthermore, because they had been refined by Daoist Wu Jian using evil methods, these ghosts had lost their sentience, leaving only their bloodthirsty instinct. Even if an Immortal descended, the ghosts here would absolutely dare to charge at them, fighting to the death.

But even such frenzied, bloodthirsty, and extremely powerful ghosts were as fragile as ants before Lu Chen's Dao Soldiers, completely unable to resist.

Even those terrifying ghosts suspected of having surpassed the Mysterious Method and stepped onto the threshold of the Dao Embryo Realm were still unable to cause the slightest disturbance before the Golden Armor Dao Soldier.

They were too strong; these Dao Soldiers were ridiculously powerful against ghosts, as if they were their natural nemesis.

"Could it be that my Dao Soldiers already possess the characteristics of Divine Weapons and Heavenly Generals?" Lu Chen mused.

Divine Weapons and Heavenly Generals possess a majestic aura, protected by the Heavenly Dao, and are most effective against yin and evil ghosts. Often, a single glance can make countless ghosts in the darkness tremble and submit.

However, his Dao Soldiers were still far from being able to make ghosts lose their will to fight with just a glance, though their effectiveness against ghosts was still astonishing.

In just a quarter of an hour, the twelve Golden Armor Dao Soldiers and thirty-three Silver Armor Dao Soldiers had devoured hundreds of ghosts, and more.

Lu Chen could clearly sense that his Dao Soldiers were undergoing changes, and these changes were extremely drastic.

"After devouring the myriad ghosts, I wonder if my Dao Soldiers will completely integrate with me, allowing me to experience their control power without restriction?!" Lu Chen was excited, even finding it hard to restrain himself.

If he could comprehend the control power of the Dao Soldiers without any restrictions, Lu Chen's true intent comprehension would likely take off instantly.

While Lu Chen was sensing the changes in his Dao Soldiers, the Doujian Peak Disciples were all gathered around the outer layer of the flying ship.

At this moment, the area outside the flying ship was covered in dense, ferocious evil spirits. Looking out, it was all ghosts madly assaulting the flying ship's protective formation.

At the same time, the Disciples on the flying ship were also casting various Fire Elemental Spells, lightning techniques, and other spells that had some effect against ghosts to eliminate them. Flying Swords were also unleashed in unison, sword energy erupting and displaying their might freely.

However, ghosts are formed from the lingering resentment of living beings after death, born from the utmost Yin energy of heaven and earth. Without absolute countermeasures, they simply cannot be killed quickly.

Even if a ghost was cut into pieces and turned into yin energy, it could still reassemble and continue to attack the flying ship.

It wasn't just Lu Chen's flying ship; the other two Dongming Sect flying ships were also surrounded by layers of ghosts. The ghostly shrieks were ear-piercing and shook the heavens, ceaseless.

The Infernal Ghoul Realm Diagram was said to contain myriad ghosts, but in reality, there were far more. There were thirty thousand Inner Sect Disciples on the three Dongming Sect flying ships, but compared to the ghosts in this Infernal Ghoul Realm, they were not on the same level at all, differing by too much.

"As expected of a dangerous place where even those in the Dao Infant Realm cannot retreat unscathed. These endless ghosts simply cannot be killed off!"

"The ghosts here are not right; they are much harder to kill than normal ghosts!" A Disciple's face was grim.

If they were external ghosts, breaking them a few times would dissipate most of their yin energy, and they would even flee directly upon encountering a powerful cultivator.

But the ghosts in this Infernal Ghoul Realm Diagram couldn't be killed even after being shattered ten times, and they weren't afraid of death at all, being exceptionally ferocious.

This made the numerous Inner Sect Disciples more and more alarmed as they killed.

Time was constantly flowing. Lu Chen came to the edge of the flying ship and released his Flying Sword to kill ghosts, but he was basically slacking off. All his attention was on his Dao Soldiers.

The Inner Sect Disciples inside the flying ship were so besieged by layers of ghosts that they didn't dare to show their heads.

But conversely, his Dao Soldiers were going berserk killing in the inner layer of the Infernal Ghoul Realm, eating ghosts they encountered and grabbing ghosts they encountered.

In just a short hour, there were no more ghosts in the inner layer of the Infernal Ghoul Realm.

But Lu Chen's Dao Soldiers were still not satisfied and charged towards the layers of ghosts besieging the three Dongming Sect flying ships.

Time flowed, and after who knows how long, a certain Inner Sect Disciple on the flying ship finally noticed something was wrong.

Several times during hurried glances, he saw large dark-gold and dark-silver hands quietly reaching out from among the layers of ghosts, silently grabbing the ghosts and making them disappear.

"What are those dark-gold and dark-silver hands?"
