It couldn’t be marked with an era!
If it were, Lian Xing might not only refuse to refine the sword blank for him, but might also refine him instead.
It had to be resolved quickly.
16 puppets.
Each with 500,000 divine power.
Even top-tier experts of the Fifth Tribulation would find it troublesome.
Moreover, puppets were unlike cultivators.
Cultivators could be suppressed.
But puppets had no fear.
Instead, under Lian Xing’s command, they would surely be relentless.
Jian Wushuang’s gaze drifted into the distance. With a thought, he instantly withdrew from the encirclement.
The puppets, however, seized every opportunity. Seeing Jian Wushuang trying to escape, they once again surrounded him.
Buzz!
16 puppets. Suddenly, from their depths, a hand stretched out, swiftly extending like sixteen tentacles, rus.h.i.+ng towards Jian Wushuang.
Just as Jian Wushuang steadied his posture and attempted to change his attack, he was startled by the sudden appearance of these tentacles.
It left him somewhat helpless.
They couldn’t be broken through.
Even the divine sword couldn’t cut them.
The structure of the puppets was not rigid but rather somewhat soft.
Flexibility countered rigidity.
The fierceness of the Sword Dao was completely restrained.
“d.a.m.n it!” Jian Wushuang, unable to break through, could only rely on speed to maneuver.
But in doing so, he fell right into the hands of those puppets.
Click, clack!
Several puppets emitted a chilling, stiff laughter, sending s.h.i.+vers down Jian Wushuang’s spine.
With a swift movement, Jian Wushuang dodged several arms, only to realize something peculiar.
Unbeknownst to him, he had returned to the center of the secret chamber.
Yet, tentacles emerged from all directions.
Surveying his surroundings, he noticed that all the puppets had disappeared into the darkness, leaving only their scattered limbs.
Just as a sense of foreboding gripped him, the darkness surrounding him dissipated in an instant, replaced by strands of white condensed light.
The arms continued to a.s.sail Jian Wushuang relentlessly.
Jian Wushuang had no time to ponder. He could only prepare himself to resist and face whatever came next.
“It seems I have to resort to using the General Armor!”
Initially, he thought that by pus.h.i.+ng himself to the limit, he could trigger another burst of power.
However, it seemed that the Emperor’s potential had been fully tapped out.
There was no more latent power to draw upon.
If not for the blood power of the Chen family, his divine power would be at most 200,000.
But with the General’s Armor, even if he had a foundation of 400,000 divine power, he could only unleash the peak power of Fourth Tribulation.
Now, his peak lay in the General’s Armor.
“Phew!”
Jian Wushuang took a deep breath.
Scales appeared on his body one after another.
The General’s Armor began to envelop his entire body, embedding itself into his flesh.
Externally, there were no visible changes.
These were the inner layers of the General’s Armor, protecting his divine body from collapsing.
It was precisely because of this inner layer that he could unleash five times the power of the Beast G.o.d.
When the inner layer appeared, Lian Xing in the underlying layers did not detect anything special.
But the subsequent outer layer made Lian Xing furrow his brows.
It was as if he had discovered something within.
The General’s Armor was divided into inner and outer layers.
This was something Jian Wushuang had recently discovered.
The inner layer guarded the divine body, while the outer layer protected the flesh.
Together, they merged into one, guarding alongside the Origin Source.
He could weaken attacks.
Even stronger than the Beast G.o.d Weapon.
It was his biggest trump card now.
And it could cooperate with the Beast G.o.d Weapon.
Allowing him to unleash five times the power of the Beast G.o.d.
Of course, five times was a bit exaggerated. He had only reached that limit in the face of death.
Now, using it four times was enough.
One-fold increase: 50,000.
Four-fold would be 200,000.
Plus the basic divine power of 400,000.
He would have 600,000 divine power.
“The power of the Beast G.o.d!”
Jian Wushuang roared angrily, and a huge disc appeared under his feet.
That was the totem of the Beast G.o.d.
As for the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard, he did not use it.
If it appeared, he feared that Lian Xing would notice.
Moreover, the amplification given to him by the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard was too small now, and it was also very difficult to use.
He could only fully exert its power when he reached the Universe Master level.
Now, just using the armor was enough.
With four times the power of the Beast G.o.d, the armor could fully withstand it.
Jian Wushuang’s body, from being strong, instantly swelled, muscles on his arms and chest bulging instantly.
That was such a powerful force.
So much so that, even though his divine body was fine, his physical body was almost bursting.
Luckily, there was still armor protecting him.
Jian Wushuang’s eye sockets were filled with bloodshot veins.
White light condensed around him, erupting in an instant.
Fortunately, he had prepared in advance and unleashed his trump card first.
Otherwise, those white lights cras.h.i.+ng towards him would have left him not just injured but severely so, beyond the capacity of even his life force to replenish.
Jian Wushuang pushed both hands forward, then his whole body burst with a dark red energy, forming a protective s.h.i.+eld around himself.
The barrage of white light crashed against the s.h.i.+eld, unable to breach it.
He had learned this technique from a scion of the Blood Robe Sect.
However, his divine power was almost limitless.
No matter how long he resisted, he would be unharmed.
The divine power of that scion was limited, relying on others.
Boom!
Ignoring the attack of the white light.
This scene caused Lian Xing, among the lower ranks, to furrow his brows.
Jian Wushuang’s strength exceeded his expectations.
In the fifth round, he hadn’t expected Jian Wushuang to make it through.
Although he favored Jian Wushuang, he wouldn’t craft a Divine-tier sword blank for him, just a mere Emperor.
Crafting Divine-tier sword blanks was reserved for Universe Masters of the Seventh Tribulation, or even powerful beings of the Eighth Tribulation.
To craft one for an Emperor, what was that about?
Even if one didn’t consider the required materials.
Just based on one thing.
An Emperor like Jian Wushuang couldn’t endure the need for the host’s essence blood.
The required essence blood could almost drain Jian Wushuang dry.
And that’s not all.
Crafting Divine-tier sword blanks required a complete Sword Dao.
Where would he get that from?
He didn’t believe Jian Wushuang’s Sword Dao could withstand it.
He couldn’t just borrow it!
The Dao must not be lightly pa.s.sed on.
Everyone understood that.
So, he didn’t want Jian Wushuang to craft Divine-tier sword blanks.
The cost was too high.
It would be better to wait until the eighth Tribulation Realm to craft them.
But Jian Wushuang’s ambitions were high, his vision even higher.
Who knew how long it would take to reach the Eighth Tribulation.
Right now, he needed to increase his combat power.
Leaving aside the threat of Qishen Temple.
Just considering the current Ancient Wood Sect.
The Wanliu Divine Tree.
For an Emperor like Jian Wushuang to face these opportunities.
It was too demanding.
The Super Ancient Transformation, he needed to explore it.
There was a great possibility that it wouldn’t help him when he reached the Emperor Realm.
The Emperor Realm.
Jian Wushuang’s strongest card against cultivators was still the Starry Sky Chronicles.
So he needed the most powerful sword blank.
Also, within the Wanliu Divine Tree, there were opportunities to break through the Tribulation Realm and reach the realm of Universe Master.
But before entering the Ten Thousand Willows, he was still an Emperor, so he had to enhance his strength without leaving any room for error.
If he didn’t fight now, he would be the one to die in the future.
16 puppets surrounded him.
Jian Wushuang remained unmoved.
The white light dissipated.
Before darkness descended, Jian Wushuang began to move.
