Wengg!!
Tap! Tap!
Emerging out from the spiralling bronze vortex, Duan Li suddenly found himself to be on a flat land with an orange ground and a wide blue, cloudless sky. This land was devoid of any vegetation, hills, and the other usual stuffs that made up a natural environment.
Is this an artificial land?
Squinting his eyes, Duan Li could see no end to this orange land, as the blue horizon seemed to eventually merge together in the far distance, creating a vivid sunset illusion that basks the s.p.a.ce with a slight yellowish hue.
"While this land might seemed to be endless at first sight, its probably another Crafted s.p.a.ce like before.. heng!!" Duan Li thought of this as he punched out.
BOOMM!!
His fist exploded after reaching 500 meters away.
"I see.. the total area are the same as the previous one, but this place is like a real cage with a set boundary instead of teleporting one to the other direction to make it seem endless.." Duan Li nodded.
Does this mean that this Compounded s.p.a.ce has identical s.p.a.ce area with each other?
That should be the case.
Just as he was intending to walk around the area for a bit to take a look, his vision suddenly blurred and a sharp pain strucked inside his head, as if a brick was forcefully inserted into his brain, making him almost stumbling over.
"T-This...!!" Duan Li"s face immediately paled.
To his disbelief, he found out that his three active dantians was suddenly halted from cycling spiritual Qi inside his body!
"My dantian.. its sealed?!"
d.a.m.n it! What the heck happened?!
Duan Li looked around and peeked under his feet to see if he had activated a trap mechanism accidentally somehow.
...
High up above even the three realms of heavens, in an isolated s.p.a.ce cut off from the dimensional fabric of time, tinges of colors that depicted every single truth in the multiverse seethed together around a single being.

This being had every disposition and aura of an Eternal existence would have, and it was inviolable. Every words that he spout would be the irrevocable law and reality, his might surpa.s.sing even that of the Nine Eternal Lords of All-Era in the Upper realm of Heaven!
This man was absolutely mysterious, his facial appearance and figure was shrouded and could not be described at all. But if one thing could be seen, it would be that this person had his back straight like a sword, with both of his hands clasped behind his back, as his eyes that was filled with the archaic wisdom gazed onto one point of a reality.
This man was the very same existence that helped Duan Li against Cao Tengfei of the Dark Sect before.
"Henceforth, I sealed all your three dantians and render the pearls useless until you clear the trial with only your bare hands and feet." he said indifferently.
"If you could not beat the endless amount of enemy waves after this with just your four limbs alone, then you do not deserve to live in that reality!"
Furthermore, that trial room was created to test those on the Foundation establishment realm over their limits. If one had never tried to break through their cac.o.o.n even once, why would they even dream of defying the Heavens in the first place?
After all, the point of cultivation was to become supreme over everyone else, and the Heavens was not an exception to that equation!
This person then sighed.
However you.. you had already reached the peak of the next realm which rendered this trial useless.
As such, it was only right for me to seal your powers! Hmph!
This man then gazed at another block of the multiverse, where a Celestial Being was seen trodding through the foreign lands without any sorts of worry at all. As he saw this, he shook his head, lamented and sighed helplessly once more.
"Duan Ling, you were supposed to be my predecessor.."
...
Aiyoh! This is really bad..
"My cultivation realm is still there as I could feel the power of my physical body of the Core formation realm, but my dantians are truly sealed!"
Isn"t this place way too strict? Just what kind of trial would it be that required one"s own source of spiritual Qi to be completely sealed?
Just as Duan Li was thinking along that line, the ground beneath him began to shook intensely before bulging spots began to appear around him one after another!
Krrrr...!!
Gradually, those bulging spots rosed up from the ground and then shape-shifted from clay-like ovoids to that of a human figure!
"This.. they are turning into a bunch of puppets?!" Duan Li readied himself into a defensive stance.
How many are they?!
10.. 50.. 100.. 200.. 400..
"Hey.. hey! You"ve gotta be kidding me! There are thousands of them! Who the h.e.l.l created this trial? Its a d.a.m.ned scam!" Duan Li cussed out at their ancestors.
Trial? This is more a like a battle-royale!
TAK! TAK!
The lifeless puppets began to jerked their body one after another as they came alive. Their puppet body rattling together makes the situation like a horror scene when it was combined with thousands of them!
Furthermore, these puppets only has one eye, which was glowing bright red, making their visuals even more scary!
TAK! TAK!
One by one, they stepped forward, inching closer to Duan Li slowly like a bunch of trained soldiers as their movement was synchronized, and when they finally reached the 5 meters mark around Duan Li, surrounding him, they suddenly ran forward!
"c.r.a.p! This is really trouble!"
Duan Li loosened his muscles as he dashed forward immediately.
According to the martial art manuals that he had studied back in the academy during his free time, while the method they practiced were all different, there was at least one thing that they have in common with their teachings; and that was to not stand still when being surrounded!
In other words, when one was being outnumbered and surrounded, never go for the defense in one spot, but instead to move forward like an arrow piercing through the enemy ranks, going into the offensive at full force!
BAMM!! BAMM!! BAMM!!
"Eh? They are not that strong.." Duan Li said as he realized this. "Still, their numbers are way too many!"
Gritting his teeth, Duan Li continued to punch and kick left and right, sending tens of puppets flying into the distance with each hit!
BAM!! BAM!!
In addition, he also found out that his stamina restrictions was being lifted off, granting him immense vigor to push forward with incredible momentum.
However, he knew that even with his monstrous stamina, it was not limitless. Against the sheer number of puppets that he had to beat here, it would only be a matter of time before his stamina ran out, and if he were not exhausted, he would still be like a dead log in the end!
He had tried to summon the others from his spatial ring and Di Rou that was within his shadow time and again, but it was useless because each action needed spiritual Qi to perform!
BAM!! BAM!!
Right now, only Duergar, the little sword on his right earlobe became his companion in this brutal and lonely fight, although more like a cheerleader, as the other party could not even transform to become a sword for him to use either.
"Young Master! You can do it! Punch their face! Kick their b.u.t.t!"
"Hey you filthy thing! You dare to hurt the young master? Courting death! Young Master, slap that puppet!"
"Hahaha! Useless bunch of dirt bags! Come! Come! This sword is not afraid of you all!"
Hearing the incessant cheering from the little sword, Duan Li had the intention to flick it with his finger, but he was too preoccupied in dealing with the puppets that he can"t even punish the noisy sword!
Come? Come your ancestor! As if you are the one fighting them!
BAM!! BAM!!
...
"Hmm.. fighting form is solid, martial arts movement is fluid, but he still depends on his five senses! Not good enough!" the Eternal being said as he watched Duan Li with his hands behind his back, criticizing the latter from time to time like a strict teacher.
You should be glad that I do not increase the prowess of those puppets and return your stamina back to you, but this fighting form is still too unsightly for my standards!
Brawls like these should be handled by pure instinct alone! Hmph!
With a single thought of his, the laws around him began to seethe and changes were made.
"Until I am satisfied, you will continue to fight!"
He then cupped his chin as he thought for a moment.
"Let"s make the puppet a tiny bit stronger.."
...
Pant! Pant!
Duan Li"s breathing was haggard, and all of his four limbs were starting to hurt. Below him was a mountain of broken puppets, and at this moment, Duan Li looked like the conquerors of thousand from the legends!
He had finally won against the thousands of puppets after fighting for a long while.
"I.. I fared much better than I expected.. still.. that took too much out of me.." he said as he panted heavily and wiped off his sweat. His clothes had become unkempt, but it was not tattered, and he only suffered some slight bruises here and there, nothing too serious.
"You did it young master! Hahaha! As long as I, Duergar the ultimate weapon is here, nothing can beat you young master!"
Hearing this, Duan Li almost spat out his blood.
All you did in that fight before was rambling!
Pang!!
He rose his finger and flicked the latter, but then, he suddey felt the mountains of broken puppets below him sinking to the ground!
"Is the trial finally over?"
However, that thought was immediately extinguished, as to his horror, bulging spots began to wiggle out from the ground and morphing into those lifeless puppets from before!
You"ve gotta be sh*tting me..
