454: Rongtian Sixth Level, Puppet No. 002, Sun and Moon Nation puts pressure again

At this moment.

Xuan Yin蛟 King had undergone a great transformation.

His body was burly and muscular, with Jiao Dragon scales as thick as iron armor, displaying a deep, inky black color that shimmered with a cold metallic luster under the sun. Each scale was massive and tough, seemingly capable of withstanding immense force.

His muscles were knotted, and his thick limbs were full of explosive power.

His entire body exuded a terrifying Aura.

"Lightning come!"

Chu Jiang lightly commanded.

In an instant, dark clouds, like a surging black tide, swept over with overwhelming force, instantly obscuring the entire sky.

Immediately after, the atmosphere between heaven and earth suddenly became oppressive and tense. The lightning, containing endless destructive power, seemed to be drawn by a pair of invisible hands, thundering down from the nine heavens.

Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder and Yin-Yang Double Lightning intertwined, forming thick bolts of lightning, like giant pythons, tearing through the air with earth-shattering power, heading straight for Chu Jiang's location.

At the same time, the Blood Puppet, under Chu Jiang's control, shot into the thunderclouds like an arrow from a bowstring, confronting the Heaven and Earth Strange Lightning.

Each bolt of lightning that struck carved a mysterious rune onto the Blood Puppet's body. These thunderous Puppet fiends, shimmering with an eerie blue light, gradually gathered and condensed on its surface, slowly outlining a complex and powerful lightning pattern that exuded a heart-palpitating pressure.

Finally, when the last bolt of lightning struck, the thunderous Puppet fiends all over the Blood Puppet's body were completely formed.

It slowly opened its eyes, two flashes of lightning streaked across, and a powerful Aura instantly swept in all directions.

"Rongtian Sixth Layer!"

A look of satisfaction flashed in Chu Jiang's eyes.

The transcendent Blood Fiend Puppet Heart Art, coupled with the baptism of the Heaven and Earth Strange Lightning, directly elevated the Puppet by one layer.

This was due to Xuan Yin蛟 King himself being at the Peak of the Rongtian Fifth Layer, combined with several rare Materials Chu Jiang incorporated, and his Grandmaster-level Puppet refining techniques, which barely allowed it to advance to the Sixth Layer.

Generally speaking, the strength of a Blood Puppet is closely related to its original body.

It would only be downgraded; maintaining its original level was already good.

"From today onwards, you will be called Sang Men Xing, code 002!"

Chu Jiang said indifferently.

As he finished speaking.

The code 002 was carved onto the Blood Puppet's body.

"Sang Men Xing, greetings, Master!"

The Blood Puppet knelt on one knee, as if worshipping a pilgrim, with an excited expression. A rough voice emanated from its body.

Chu Jiang waved his hand.

Sang Men Xing disappeared from its spot, hidden within the Void Realm.

Although the Blood Puppet no longer possessed its original Soul, it still retained all its skills.

Below the Rongtian Fourth Layer, it would be almost impossible to detect its presence.

Rumble!

A Void Realm rift opened, and Chu Jiang stepped into it, returning to the Three Prefectures.

...

The capital of Sun Moon Country, Heavenly Capital.

Heavenly Capital City, as the center of Sun Moon Country, was majestic and grand, solemn and imposing. The city was tall and sturdy, its walls winding like a giant Dragon, inscribed with mysterious ancient runes that shimmered with a faint light.

The Heavenly King's Hall was located at the most prosperous point of Luck in the entire Heavenly Capital City, with ninety-nine steps, symbolizing the supreme power of the Country Lord.

Everyone who came to discuss matters had to climb these ninety-nine steps to show respect to the Country Lord.

At this moment, inside the King's Hall, the atmosphere was suffocatingly oppressive.

The seats in the hall were already full. They were all influential figures within Sun Moon Country who could make the country tremble with a stomp of their feet.

There were Jianghu magnates, high-ranking officials, and military families.

At this moment, the sounds of anger in the hall were incessant.

Among them, two individuals stood out.

One was dressed in red battle armor, with a sharp treasure saber at his waist. The saber was half-drawn, its cold gleam piercing, and a strong scent of blood emanated from him.

The other was dressed in a simple Daoist robe, with an ethereal and immortal demeanor, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. A faint Immortal Qi enveloped his body, as if he had merged with heaven and earth, making it impossible to gauge the depth of his strength.

The powerhouses of Sun Moon Country were divided into the Sun and Moon ranks, representing the military families and secular forces.

Sun Moon Country was governed by the army, which controlled the core of the entire country.

The secular forces represented the civilian official system, controlling the populace and holding economic power.

One was the first on the Sun Rank, General Tie Zhen.

The other was the first on the Moon Rank, Qian Dao Liu.

Both were powerhouses who had comprehended the Law Domain, comparable to the top ten on Great Chu's Heavenly Rank.

At the end of the main hall, on the high throne, sat a middle-aged man dressed in a twelve-chapter Dragon robe. His face was stern, his sword-like eyebrows reached his temples, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

He was the current Country Lord of Sun Moon Country, Asahi Heavenly King, who had been on the throne for three hundred years.

"Lord Country Lord, this matter cannot be let go just like that. Great Chu massacred hundreds of thousands of our Sun Moon Country border troops. This is an act of war; we must retaliate."

A white-haired Old General roared angrily.

"Marshal Mu Ze, for such a small matter, why do we need to report it? Directly dispatch troops to attack, kill a million of them, an eye for an eye!"

"This war was not provoked by us, but by Great Chu!"

"They simply don't put our Sun Moon Country in their eyes. Do they really think Great Chu is still the central Dynasty of thousands of years ago, dominating the eight directions?"

The words of the white-haired Old General resonated with many military officials, who spoke up one after another.

However, about eighty percent of those in a fervent mood were military officials.

Those in the civilian official system were mostly calm.

News had already secretly spread that the one who destroyed Black Stone Fortress was Great Chu's Ninth Ancestor, Corpse Old Ancestor.

Without the three ancient Old Ancestors, who could contend with him?

Risk their lives?

If it weren't for the replica of the Divine Artifact, Corpse Fire Divine Furnace, suppressing the border and making him wary, it wasn't impossible for him to directly invade the country.

Over the years, the army had plundered a large number of people from Great Chu, which likely touched their bottom line.

"General Tie Zhen, what are your thoughts?"

Asahi Heavenly King asked faintly.

"Kill!"

Tie Zhen's tone was cold. His half-drawn saber already represented his opinion.

"Country Lord, I believe we still need to be cautious. Corpse Old Ancestor is a powerhouse from the same era as the ancient Old Ancestors three thousand years ago, and his strength is immense. Although he might have retreated by now, we cannot gamble on him; we cannot let the border bleed again!"

Qian Dao Liu said with similar indifference.

"Qian Dao Liu, what do you mean? Are we not going to avenge the hundreds of thousands of blood debts of our Sun Moon Country?"

The white-haired Old General asked again, his expression stern.

"Wait for the opportunity, now is not the time."

Qian Dao Liu responded.

"Damn it, Country Lord, Qian Dao Liu is a rebellious traitor! I suspect he is a Great Chu spy."

Asahi Heavenly King waved his hand, stopping the argument.

He said, "Send a million more troops to the border, and the Heavenly Capital Three Guards to reinforce, creating an Aura as if to attack Great Chu's Border, but only surround and not attack, forcing Great Chu to bow down and give an explanation."

"The demand is either to hand over Corpse Old Ancestor or to hand over Chu Jiang, one or the other."

"And compensate our Sun Moon Country with thirty billion Spirit Stones as compensation for the damaged military fortress."

"Country Lord's holy name, the Great Chu Dynasty has some spineless people; this will make them fight among themselves!"

Forcing them to choose one or the other.

This is a clever idea.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not.

It will cause the Great Chu Dynasty to fall into chaos.

Although the military families were still somewhat dissatisfied, to be honest, if they truly went to war with Great Chu, they would still be the ones to suffer losses.

Even if they dragged Great Chu down, it would only benefit outsiders.

Everyone discussed a few more sentences, and Asahi Heavenly King's order was sent from the capital to the border...
