148: Comprehend the Puppet Master's Supernatural Power

A close-quarters battle was breaking out in Starry Sky City.

Hearing Blood Butcher's words, Lu Yuan's expression was strange.

He once ruled billions of miles of territory, supported by ten thousand races?

Blood Butcher was bragging too much, but it certainly sounded exhilarating.

Mu Qianfeng heard these words as blatant mockery.

Billions of miles of territory?

Where did Blue Star get billions of miles of territory!

"Lu Yuan, I will give you one more chance: surrender to the Great Shun Dynasty!" Mu Qianfeng drew his longsword.

There were five young people who had turned Blue Star upside down; if Lu Yuan died, there would still be four.

He had to admit that Lu Yuan was extraordinarily gifted, potentially the strongest of the five.

An awakened Special Puppet Master, with SSS-Rank Talent.

To resist a beast tide led by a Domain Realm Expert single-handedly—such a feat is rare throughout history!

But anyone who refuses to surrender to the Great Shun Dynasty must die; this was the command issued by the Imperial Father!

"If you let Mu Tianyi fight the Supreme Alliance Leader, I might consider it."

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

The Great Shun Dynasty had been constantly hiding, causing The Authorities a massive headache.

The Authorities desperately wished all these Ancient Professionals would awaken so they could fight a real battle.

Mu Qianfeng's face twitched.

How dare Lu Yuan, a mere Martial Champion, call the Imperial Father by his given name!

"You're courting death!" Mu Qianfeng roared, deciding to give up on recruiting Lu Yuan and execute him on the spot.

Earth Tier High-Grade Spirit Skill: Heavenly Gold Storm

As the storm arrived, countless tiny golden swords produced whistling sounds as they tore through the air.

Under Mu Qianfeng's control, they shot toward Lu Yuan!

Earth Tier High-Grade Spirit Skill: Sky-Filling Thunder Rain

Boom!—

White thunder erosion spread around Lu Yuan, fearlessly colliding with the tiny golden swords!

Mu Qianfeng's expression shifted slightly.

"A fifty-fifty split?" Qiang Zhishang, the Adjutant fighting the Great Shun Dynasty elites in close combat, breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, he wanted to help Lu Yuan, but he simply couldn't spare the energy.

Both were Earth Tier High-Grade Spirit Skills.

That the Spirit Skills exchanged between Peak Transcendent Realm Mu Qianfeng and Law Realm Lu Yuan were equal in power was something Qiang Zhishang hadn't expected.

Ptooey—

The heavily wounded Gong Yingbo spat out a mouthful of bloody foam, immediately seeing that the difference lay in their Divine Abilities.

Mu Qianfeng hadn't killed him, not because of soft-heartedness, but because he possessed the key to the core hub.

The core hub was wrapped in special metal, and destroying it manually would take time.

Only by opening it with the key could it be completely destroyed!

Bang bang bang—

Another wave of Spirit Skills clashed, and the result was still an even split in power!

Mu Qianfeng's expression grew increasingly gloomy.

Lu Yuan had comprehended a Divine Ability, but so had he.

What he had comprehended was the Gold Attribute top-tier Divine Ability, Heart of the Protector.

His Spirit Skills were enhanced by the Heart of the Protector; what Divine Ability had Lu Yuan comprehended?

"My Master consumed a top-grade heaven and earth spirit treasure to comprehend his Divine Ability. Can trash Divine Abilities like yours even compare?!"

Blood Butcher mocked him.

As Lu Yuan's realm increased, he gradually recovered his true nature.

A top-grade heaven and earth spirit treasure!

Mu Qianfeng looked at Lu Yuan, who showed no weakness in the Spirit Skill clash, drew the longsword from his waist, and stabbed forward.

Since Spirit Skill clashes weren't working, they would engage in close-quarters combat!

His Sword Technique had long reached the pinnacle, making him a top swordsman even in Huaxia!

Clang—

Army Devourer, who had been waiting for a long time, stood in front of Lu Yuan and repelled Mu Qianfeng with a single sword strike.

"I am your opponent!"

Army Devourer said.

Mu Qianfeng shook his sore and numb arm, realizing that Army Devourer was not simple.

"Army Devourer's Sword Technique and leadership ability are only slightly inferior to mine. Dealing with you is enough!" Blood Butcher, standing beside Lu Yuan, said.

He and Army Devourer, the two strongest Calamities in close combat, were responsible for Lu Yuan's safety.

For the Calamities, the Master's safety was paramount.

"Really?" Lu Yuan looked at Blood Butcher.

Facing Lu Yuan's question, Blood Butcher dared not lie.

"They are both stronger than me."

Lu Yuan: "..."

Clang clang clang—

Close-quarters combat was extremely dangerous; a single mistake could lead to a violent death.

Watching Mu Qianfeng entangled with Army Devourer, Lu Yuan's fingers twitched.

Earth-rank High-grade Spirit Skill: Suppressing Puppet

Earth Tier Advanced Spirit Skill: Mirage Puppet

...He unleashed all the Puppet Master exclusive Spirit Skills in one breath!

Mu Qianfeng, who was already sweating profusely, was thrown into confusion with Lu Yuan's assistance.

"So fierce!"

Xu Ruicheng watched, dazzled.

His team members, along with Li Jinxue's, had exhausted their spiritual power and had gone into hiding.

The scene was too chaotic, and the Great Shun Dynasty elites hadn't noticed them.

Witnessing the battle between Lu Yuan and Mu Qianfeng, Xu Ruicheng was stunned speechless.

"Lu Yuan, if you have the guts, fight me fair and square! What kind of hero gangs up on people!" Mu Qianfeng said.

He was about to collapse!

These words amused Lu Yuan.

"Why fight one-on-one when you can gang up? Don't you want to?" Lu Yuan retorted.

"Blood Butcher."

"Your subordinate is here!"

Clatter—

The serrated chain blade emitted a crisp sound.

"Gang up on him," Lu Yuan ordered.

"Your subordinate accepts the command!"

Blood Butcher gave Zhangsha a look.

Bang—

Zhangsha stood beside Lu Yuan, enveloped in an earthy yellow barrier.

With Blood Butcher joining in, Mu Qianfeng, who was already struggling, could hold on even less!

Lu Yuan looked toward the battlefield.

Starry Sky City had many Great Shun Dynasty elites, and the stationed Huaxia soldiers resisted fiercely.

The Puppet Corps charged ahead, with the Golden Spear Legion being the fiercest among them.

Like Army Devourer, close-quarters combat was their strength!

The situation was temporarily stabilized, and Mu Qianfeng, besieged by Army Devourer and Blood Butcher, was vomiting large mouthfuls of blood.

"Eunuch Ji, save me!"

Mu Qianfeng cried for help.

Eunuch Ji?

Lu Yuan focused his attention.

No one responded to Mu Qianfeng, but a large number of Skeleton Monsters suddenly appeared in Starry Sky City.

Skeleton Shield Soldiers, Skeleton Cavalry, and Skeleton Generals!

Every Skeleton Monster was at Third Star of the Domain Realm, and dozens of Skeleton Generals charged toward Lu Yuan.

"A Dark Attribute Domain Realm Expert!" Gong Yingbo stood up, enduring the pain.

Among all combat attributes, Dark Attribute was publicly recognized as ranking in the top three.

The saying that one powerful Dark Attribute Practitioner can stand against a thousand troops is not an exaggeration, but a fact!

"dead eunuch!" Lu Yuan scanned his surroundings but did not find the figure of Eunuch Ji mentioned by Mu Qianfeng.

Clearly, he was hiding, unwilling to expose himself voluntarily.

Dark Attribute Practitioners are very fragile, have extremely poor physical fitness, and generally have shorter lifespans.

Perhaps this was the price of gaining such a powerful attribute!

Looking at the Domain Realm Skeleton Monsters, Lu Yuan blinked.

The blue sky and white clouds were covered by a sea of blood, blood threads danced in the air, and countless Guie emitted strange laughter.

"Comprehending a Divine Ability?"

In an unnoticed corner, a hunched old man let out a soft exclamation.

"Lu Yuan is comprehending the Puppet Master's Divine Ability!" Someone noticed Lu Yuan's transformation.

Boom—

Ten beams of light shot into the sky!

The ten great calamities were bathed in light and knelt on one knee toward Lu Yuan.

Marks appeared on the foreheads of thunder erosion, Zhangsha, Scarlet Skeleton, and Demon Burial.

They were precisely the four top-tier Divine Abilities: Raging Thunder Divine Judgment, Indomitable Spirit, Eternal Sacred Flame, and World-Defying Pupil!

The other six Calamities absorbed the beams of light, and different marks appeared on their foreheads.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

Wasn't Lu Yuan comprehending a Divine Ability? Why did his monsters gain Divine Abilities?!

Gold Calamity Devouring Army was the first to absorb the beam of light.

"Boundless Imperial Might!" Mu Qianfeng, who was also Gold Attribute and heavily wounded, recognized the Divine Ability gained by Army Devourer.

Boundless Imperial Might, a Divine Ability that only existed in legends!

Dark Heaven Eclipse Sun, Sunken Spirit Sea, Power of All Things... The ten great calamities danced wildly, all having gained Divine Abilities.

When Lu Yuan opened his eyes, tens of thousands of ghost puppet soldiers, wearing armor and holding weapons, emitted multicolored light.

"Kill!"

"Kill!!"

...Imperial Capital University, Back Mountain.

Divine Ability Realm Peak Chu Wushe had a calm expression as he looked at the Law Realm and Transcendent Realm Ancient Professionals who were trying to persuade him to surrender.

"Surrender or die!"

The leading eunuch decided to give Chu Wushe one last chance.

"Die?"

Chu Wushe condensed a giant scythe alternating blue and red.

"I made a contract with this sentient top-grade spirit artifact," Chu Wushe said, his voice hoarse and his eyes manic.

"Every time it makes a move, it gains one opportunity to seize control of my body."

Pfft—

The giant scythe plunged into Chu Wushe's heart, and a suffocating aura burst forth.

The blood-stained giant scythe let out a sinister and bizarre laugh.

"Finally... finally, I can come out and breathe!"

The giant scythe spoke human language, its tone excited.

Chu Wushe lost consciousness, handing control of his body over to the giant scythe.

Before his consciousness completely vanished, he pointed at the group of Ancient Professionals.

"I might die, but I will definitely die after you!"
