Chapter 1920: Looking Up to Them

This achieved Xu Yang's remote psychic control over him. Even without Xu Yang's physical presence, simply by controlling this single die, he could still unleash incredibly powerful destructive energy.

The entire process lasted for about half an hour, which was by no means a short duration for a battlefield of this intensity. The six Great Elders were already utterly exhausted by these combat puppets. In reality, the Puppet King's individual combat ability was quite ordinary, but he was the perfect choice for setting such combat traps. This battle mode maximized the Puppet King's unique cultivation technique advantages. Another reason was that the six Great Elders were mindful of the Puppet King's inherent life skills and couldn't truly unleash their full power. Doing so, as Xu Yang had previously worried, might inadvertently harm the Puppet King's very essence. After all, these six individuals didn't want the Seven Great Elders to be reduced to six. The Puppet King, like their other companions, was like family to them, supporting each other. If he were to be destroyed by their own hands, the six Great Elders would likely never forgive themselves.

"I say, Sir Xu Yang, how much longer until you can join the main battlefield? We really can't hold out much longer. This fight is incredibly frustrating; we can't exert our full power, but the Puppet King is treating the six of us like sworn enemies!" Nangong couldn't help but complain, while also urging Xu Yang. Lan Ling'er, who was beside him, also looked extremely anxious. As the eldest daughter of the Changyun Tianzong, she had wanted to join the battle more than once. However, she knew very well that she lacked the Martial God-level strength to enter such a battlefield; she would instantly be thrown out by the violent vortex of power. The only thing she could do was to get Xu Yang to join the battle as quickly as possible.

"I suggest you just intervene personally instead of playing these pointless tricks. That Madman spent thousands of years crafting his die. Do you really think you can replicate something identical to his in just over half an hour? That's an immature and unrealistic idea; it's not something Sir Xu Yang would typically do." Lan Ling'er was truly losing her composure, so she thought of provoking Xu Yang in this manner to make him abandon the idea of crafting the die. However, she ultimately underestimated Xu Yang's formidable willpower and ability. If something Xu Yang decided to do couldn't be accomplished, he would absolutely not stop.

Soon, Xu Yang completed the power sealing and reformation steps of the Thunder Sacred Law within the exclusive space of the die's first point. In an instant, the entire surface of the die immediately glowed with golden-yellow lightning. The light and the dominating aura it emitted truly stunned Lan Ling'er, who was beside him. "Holy smokes, he didn't actually succeed, did he? This is unbelievable! Uncle Madman spent thousands of years just to craft a single die. How did this guy complete such a feat in just over half an hour? Does his talent truly surpass that of all us human cultivators?" In fact, this kind of stimulation was what Lan Ling'er disliked the most, because from childhood, she had always been acclaimed as the most talented among young disciples of her generation. But now, having met Xu Yang, she felt that her so-called talent was truly insignificant.

Xu Yang certainly did not disappoint her. When he stopped the psychic transmission and returned to his calm demeanor, the smile on his face already confirmed the perfect outcome of it all. "My apologies for making you all wait. Elders, you can stop what you're doing now. From this moment on, I will take over this battle." Without time to offer further explanation to Lan Ling'er beside him, Xu Yang left the girl with nothing but the silhouette of a peerless Wind God. At that moment, Xu Yang strode across the starry sky, each step he took accompanied by brilliantly dazzling golden light emanating from his body. The die, which he had just imbued with a spatial energy seal, also floated above his head, just like the Madman's die. However, compared to the Madman's artifact, Xu Yang's new artifact seemed even more powerful and had a more intense energy fluctuation.

"Damn it, he didn't actually succeed in imitating me, did he? If that's truly the case, then haven't my thousands of years of cultivation just become a joke?" The Madman, having just retracted his hand below, saw Xu Yang's actions above him and was utterly dumbfounded. His companions, however, all chuckled, enjoying the spectacle, seemingly unafraid of stirring up trouble. They patted the Madman's shoulder with expressions of encouragement and consolation. "You don't need to be so self-deprecating. After all, that's Sir Xu Yang; no ordinary person can be compared to him. It's only natural for his talents to achieve such miracles. I advise you: never compare yourself to him, or you'll truly have a mental breakdown." At that moment, Nangong, with the air of someone who had seen it all, patted the Madman's shoulder. His half-smile only made the other companions struggle to suppress their laughter; everyone seemed to want to see the Madman flustered.

However, Xu Yang soon satisfied everyone's darkest desires with his actions. He arrived at the center of the garden battlefield, where hundreds of combat puppets had already piled up around him. What Xu Yang needed to do was to destroy these combat puppets as quickly as possible, then locate the Puppet King's true body in the shortest amount of time and infiltrate his soul world. This was the simplest way to resolve the current situation.

Xu Yang touched his brow, and under the guidance of his powerful psychic energy, the die artifact above his head quickly began to spin wildly. It finally landed on the number one, and the die artifact immediately burst into brilliant light. A brilliant, dark golden halo enveloped the surroundings. Only then did everyone realize that Xu Yang had imbued his artifact with the protection of the Law of Light, preventing the artifact itself from suffering sufficiently powerful destructive external attacks while he channeled its power, which would otherwise forcibly interrupt the released energy. With the protection of the Law of Light, this die artifact was virtually immune to destruction by a single strike from any Martial God within the realm of the Ancient Martial God Path, also ensuring its strong survivability. Moreover, this artifact was personally forged by the Emperor's Cauldron; no matter how inadequate it might seem, its inherent defensive properties were by no means comparable to those of ordinary divine artifacts. The instant the number was activated, the soul phantom sealed within the exclusive space of the first point immediately became agitated. Powerful, dark golden lightning energy rapidly expanded around the die, quickly unleashing the most potent arcane technique of the Thunder Sacred Law.
