Volume 1 Chapter 1189 Emperor Purple Cloud
"This palace is not simple. It looks like the residence of a formidable figure. Be careful. There is a high possibility that there are still people alive inside." Kong Yun nodded and slowly walked towards the palace. At this time, Kong Yun discovered that Nangong Ming had not followed suit.
"This brat is actually scared." Kong Yun"s eyes were filled with disdain. However, the Tool Spirit did not say that. He glanced at Kong Yun and said, "If he comes in, he will only die." Hearing this, Kong Yun was stunned for a moment and laughed.
When Kong Yun arrived at the entrance of the hall, the statues on the stone pillars on both sides seemed to be alive, moving up and down the pillars. At the same time, a faint dragon roar entered Kong Yun"s ears.
Kong Yun immediately prepared himself, but he didn"t feel any danger and relaxed at random.
Kong Yun pushed open the door and entered the hall. A voice sounded in Kong Yun"s ears.
"Welcome." Kong Yun was shocked by these words. He then looked forward and saw a man with a straight waist sitting on a chair made of rare face artifacts. There were also lifelike flying dragons carved on the chair.
Kong Yun respectfully saluted, "Senior, this junior hastily came here. I didn"t mean to disturb you. Please make amends, senior."
The upper body didn"t have any intention of moving, just saying, "No harm done."
The artifact spirit smiled and said, "He"s already dead. Right now, he"s only talking to a wisp of his soul." The Tool Spirit"s expression was extremely calm, without the slightest fluctuation.
"I didn"t expect you to have a soul body with you. Looks like this soul body isn"t weak." At this point, there was a trace of desire for possession in his voice.
"Let"s make a deal. Give me the soul body beside you and let me devour it. I"ll follow you in the future and help you accomplish a great cause. How do you feel?" Hearing this, the artifact spirit immediately looked at Kong Yun, but did not say anything. He did not know what was on his mind.
Kong Yun smiled and glanced at the artifact spirit beside him. "What kind of thing are you? You actually want his life?" Hearing this, the Soul Body laughed, "What an ignorant little doll. When you know my name, you won"t think that way. I am the founding emperor of the Violet Cloud Empire, the Violet Cloud Emperor."
Kong Yun and the Tool Spirit sucked in a breath of cold air at the same time. They didn"t expect that the soul body in front of them was actually a formidable figure. Furthermore, it was a peerless expert before.
"How is it? Are you interested now?" Kong Yun didn"t say anything. He was just looking at the Purple Cloud Emperor.
"I also know that you are the chosen son of this year"s Heavenly Selection. You are destined to go against the heavens. If I follow you, the Purple Cloud Empire will be your headquarters. When you go against the heavens, the Purple Cloud Empire will follow you around and help you take down the entire G.o.d Realm. Isn"t this great?"
To tell the truth, the Purple Cloud Emperor"s conditions were indeed very attractive. Kong Yun had the urge to agree, but his rationality pulled him out of his fantasies.
"You Purple Cloud Empire aren"t qualified to fight against the heavens, are you?" As soon as these words were spoken, his soul was blurred.
Kong Yun smiled when he saw this. "I know your goal is to devour the artifact spirit by borrowing my hand. When you reach a certain level of strength, you will devour me and completely occupy my body. At that time, you will be the chosen son of the heavens, and you will be the person who will replace the heavens." Hearing this, his soul was stunned and stopped talking.
At this moment, a round of applause rang out in the s.p.a.ce, "That"s right, your a.n.a.lysis is not bad at all. This is his ultimate goal." A proud smile appeared on the artifact spirit"s face.
"Since you know, I won"t beat around the bush. Whether you cooperate with me or not, today is your day of death. When you arrive at my territory, you must obediently listen to my orders." As soon as he finished speaking, the chair instantly descended with his body and disappeared from Kong Yun"s sight.
Following that, several figures appeared around Kong Yun, holding various weapons in their hands, emitting an icy cold aura.
"These puppets are all peak Empyrean G.o.ds. How can we fight with so many puppets?" As he spoke, Kong Yun retreated.
Just as Kong Yun retreated to the gate, the gate instantly closed, blocking Kong Yun"s path of retreat.
"This is the end. We will definitely die this time." Hearing Kong Yun"s words, the Tool Spirit did not answer. He smiled and said, "He has a puppet. Didn"t you also have a puppet?" Kong Yun patted his head and smiled bitterly, "I actually forgot about this for a while." After that, Kong Yun released the puppet and blocked it in front of him.
The difference in strength between these puppets and Puppet One was simply too great. Without any effort, the puppets swept away all the puppets in the hall.
Kong Yun saw this and laughed. He came to the center of the hall with a happy smile on his face. "These puppets are too weak. They are no match for us. It seems that your plan will not succeed."
Just as he finished speaking, a few more puppets appeared in front of Kong Yun. These puppets were at the middle stage of the Master G.o.d Realm, and their strengths were not much different from Puppet One"s.
Seeing this, Kong Yun began to slowly retreat, "Why are there still more?"
"How strong are these puppets? They can still satisfy your requirements, right?" Kong Yun smiled and nodded, "Satisfied. Very satisfied. Too satisfied." Just as he finished speaking, Puppet One fought alongside them. The number of opponents was simply too large. The moment the puppet went up, it was at a disadvantage.
"This is not the way. Weapon Spirit, do you have any good ideas?" The Tool Spirit sighed. "Is there something wrong with your brain today? These puppets aren"t fast. With their speed, you can fight against these guys." Kong Yun nodded, "Something"s wrong with my brain today." After saying that, Kong Yun instantly flew up and stepped out, charging straight towards the puppet in the field.
The puppet immediately sensed Kong Yun"s whereabouts and immediately turned around, swinging its hand towards Kong Yun"s waist. Kong Yun knew that the puppet"s attack was very powerful. If he was injured, even if he wasn"t, he would still be seriously injured. Therefore, Kong Yun was extremely decisive, leaving this place in an instant to distance himself from the puppet.
However, Puppet One"s condition was no longer optimistic. Under the siege of the four puppets, all parts of his body were damaged, revealing the flesh and blood inside.
Kong Yun knew that he couldn"t delay any longer. He instantly flew into the air, sending out the Heavenly Dao Sword Intent, flying straight towards the puppet closest to Kong Yun.
Although the attack only aimed at one puppet, it attracted the attention of the four puppets. Two of the puppets abandoned the attack puppet one and arrived opposite Kong Yun, facing Kong Yun"s attack head-on.
Kong Yun knew that his attack would definitely not be able to stop the two puppets. Kong Yun took the opportunity to activate the Heart of s.p.a.ce and instantly arrived behind the remaining two puppets. Five fire dragons instantly flew out and flew straight behind the two puppets.
Under Kong Yun and Puppet One"s pincer attack, the two puppets were somewhat fl.u.s.tered. They gave up on blocking Puppet One and instead turned around to block Kong Yun"s attack. When the puppet saw this, it didn"t show any courtesy. It swung its fists and landed behind the two puppets. One of the two puppets staggered and almost fell.
Kong Yun took advantage of this opportunity to launch the Carefree Steps again. He arrived at the flanks of the two puppets and let out a loud roar. The Heavenly Dao Sword Intent instantly activated and struck the bodies of the two puppets.
When the explosion disappeared, the two puppets slowly stood up. There was only an additional wound on their bodies, and there was no fatal injury.
Seeing this, Kong Yun was somewhat dumbfounded. He had used all his trump cards and only caused such a small amount of damage to the puppet, making Kong Yun somewhat unable to accept it.
Then, the artifact spirit"s words sounded in Kong Yun"s ears, "I observed that the four puppet masters are controlled by a single formation, not by that person using his soul. Therefore, we can find a formation to control. Break this formation, and the puppets will lose their combat strength." Kong Yun nodded, then opened his divine eyes and swept around.
Kong Yun hadn"t used his G.o.d"s Eye for a long time, so he wasn"t unfamiliar with it at all.
In the end, Kong Yun"s gaze stopped at the place where the Purple Cloud Emperor had disappeared. It turned out that the formation was hidden here very deeply. Even the Purple Cloud Emperor himself did not expect Kong Yun to have a G.o.d"s Eye. No matter how secretive he was, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of the G.o.d"s Eye.
The puppets did not know Kong Yun"s purpose. The four puppets separated, two attacking puppets one, and the remaining two flew towards Kong Yun.
Kong Yun did not have the interest to fight with them. The Heart of s.p.a.ce activated again, and his body instantly came to the side of the formation. He began to break the formation at random.
Before Kong Yun could observe the formation"s structure, the attacks of the two puppets pierced through the clouds. Instinctively, Kong Yun dodged his fall and landed on the formation.
Kong Yun thought to himself. Just as he was about to repair it, he discovered that the four puppets had suddenly stopped moving and were just standing there in a daze.
Kong Yun laughed loudly, "I didn"t expect that the blind cat would actually be broken by these puppets."
Kong Yun slowly approached the puppets and reached out to touch them. He discovered that the puppets" defenses weren"t as strong as Puppet One"s, and even their attacks weren"t as strong as Puppet One"s. "These puppets are just ordinary workmanship," he said. Kong Yun"s eyes were filled with disdain.
At this moment, the artifact spirit slowly appeared beside Kong Yun. "These puppets are already ownerless. You can control them and turn them into your own sharp sword." Hearing this, Kong Yun was even happier. Without the slightest delay, he continuously released his soul power to control the four puppets.
Looking at the five puppets in front of him, Kong Yun"s mind surged with an idea. Then, he turned his gaze to the artifact spirit. The artifact spirit thought carefully for a moment, then nodded and shook his head.
This action made Kong Yun a little confused. He smiled and said, "What do you mean?"
"The level of these puppets is really too low. If you rashly make a formation, the materials you consume and the effects you exert may not be worth it." Hearing this, Kong Yun nodded his head. "Yes, setting up formations is indeed a bit costly. There are still some medicinal ingredients that I don"t even have in my hands right now." Kong Yun shook his head helplessly and gave up on this idea.
