Chapter 3305: The Power of the Ancient Giant Puppet

A flash of blood-red light revealed a tall young man in a blood-red robe. An overwhelming aura of malevolence emanated from him, and his body was covered in blood-red spiritual markings. Judging by his magical energy fluctuations, he was clearly a late-stage Integration cultivator.

Where the giant yellow fist passed, it left a white streak in the void.

The young man in the blood-red robe's expression changed. He flicked his sleeve, and a blood-red shield, flickering with light, flew out to block the attack.

The giant yellow fist struck the blood-red shield. The shield instantly flew backward, colliding with the young man in the blood-red robe and sending him flying as well.

A yellow light shot forth, striking the blood-red shield. The shield rapidly petrified before their eyes.

The ground shook violently as the ancient giant strode quickly towards the young man in the blood-red robe.

The young man in the blood-red robe felt as if an enormous mountain, weighing hundreds of millions of pounds, had landed on his shoulders. His legs trembled, and his face turned crimson; he had no way to dodge.

As the young man in the blood-red robe activated his Dharma Idol, he spewed a stream of blood-red flames onto the ancient giant. Simultaneously, he spat out a long saber gleaming with blood-red light, which struck the ancient giant, producing a dull clang.

The ancient giant's physical body was already incredibly strong, and after being refined into a puppet beast, it became even more formidable. The young man in the blood-red robe's attacks were like mere tickles; they couldn't harm the ancient giant at all.

The ancient giant reached him, and with a movement of its right fist, it smashed into the young man in the blood-red robe's Dharma Idol, which instantly shattered.

A large number of blood-red spiritual markings emerged on the young man in the blood-red robe's body, and a thick blood-red light barrier materialized out of thin air, protecting his entire form.

The ancient giant's right fist struck the blood-red light barrier. A muffled thud echoed, and the blood-red light barrier instantly shattered.

A scream rang out. The young man in the blood-red robe was killed by a single punch from the ancient giant, his body disintegrating into a cloud of blood mist.

A blood-red light glowed within the blood mist, revealing a blood-red jade ruler. Its spiritual light flickered, indicating it was clearly a substitute treasure for averting calamity.

The blood-red jade ruler emitted a dull *crack* and shattered into pieces.

A blood-red light appeared in the void a hundred miles away, revealing the young man in the blood-red robe's figure. His eyes were filled with terror.

He raised his right hand, and a blood-red light flew out, instantly vanishing.

The next moment, a blood-red light appeared above the ancient giant's head. A small, blood-red seal, flickering with light, materialized out of thin air and instantly expanded. Countless gruesome ghostly faces could be seen on its surface, emitting a chorus of wailing.

Before the massive blood-red seal could descend, two streaks of golden light shot forth, enveloping the blood-red seal.

The ghostly faces shrieked in unison, leaving the blood-red seal. They were enveloped by the golden light and drawn into the mouths of Wang Chan and Wang Chan, vanishing from sight.

After all the ghostly entities were annihilated, the spiritual light of the blood-red giant seal dimmed.

The ancient giant's eyes shot out a yellow light, striking the blood-red giant seal. The seal rapidly petrified, and then, with a punch, it shattered into pieces.

The young man in the blood-red robe was dumbfounded. This Myriad Ghost Seal, which had sealed multiple Integration-stage fierce ghosts, was destroyed so quickly.

Before he could think further, a hazy yellow giant fist shot forth, appearing before him in an instant.

The young man in the blood-red robe tried to dodge, but his body felt as heavy as hundreds of millions of pounds, making it impossible to evade.

A large expanse of blood-red mist surged from his body, suddenly condensing into a blood-red battle armor that protected his entire form. At the same time, he summoned a blood-glowing orb, infused it with a spell, and the orb emitted dazzling blood-red light, transforming into a thick blood-red light barrier that shielded his entire body.

The giant yellow fist struck the blood-red light barrier. A muffled thud resounded, and the spiritual light of the blood-red light barrier dimmed.

A whooshing sound echoed. The young man in the blood-red robe looked up and discovered in horror that the ancient giant had arrived in front of him without him realizing, its right fist striking again.

A scream. The young man in the blood-red robe was killed by a single punch from the ancient giant. As soon as a miniature Nascent Soul left his body, it was enveloped by a stream of green light and vanished into a green jade bottle.

Less than ten breaths of time had passed from the moment Wang Changsheng summoned the ancient giant to the ancient giant killing the young man in the blood-red robe.

Shangguan Tianhong's eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets. He himself had suffered greatly at the hands of the young man in the blood-red robe, yet Wang Changsheng had killed him with just a single puppet beast.

After so many years apart, had Wang Changsheng's strength become this terrifying?

Wang Changsheng waved his hand, and a blood-red storage bracelet and a green jade bottle flew towards him.

He formed a hand seal, and the ancient giant visibly shrunk, transforming into a yellow light that disappeared into his sleeve.

Shangguan Tianhong cupped his fists and said, "It's been many years, Fellow Daoist Wang. Your divine abilities have grown, and I am truly impressed."

Wang Changsheng said earnestly, "Fellow Daoist Shangguan, you are too kind. We can help you collect any materials you need in the Demonfall Ruin."

Ye Xuanji had already advanced to the Mahayana stage. If they could help her with a small favor and strengthen their relationship, it would be beneficial.

Shangguan Tianhong proactively extended the invitation. "I've already obtained what I needed. I was collecting some materials from the Underworld, like Heavenly Nether Stones and Nether Crystals, and so on. Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang, would you like to meet my master? I can take you."

He was concerned that Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan might kill him for his treasures, so taking them to meet Ye Xuanji would ensure his safety.

"Collecting materials from the Underworld?" Wang Changsheng's heart stirred. Before leaving Qinglian Island, they had brought many materials, convenient for exchanging with other high-level cultivators. Giving some to Ye Xuanji in exchange for other items would also be beneficial.

Wang Changsheng said courteously, "We haven't seen Senior Ye in a long time. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shangguan, for leading the way."

Times had changed. Shangguan Tianhong was Ye Xuanji's subordinate, while they weren't even considered subordinates.

Shangguan Tianhong agreed with a smile, saying, "It's a small matter." He then took out a red pill, swallowed it, and flew onto the Green Luan Boat.

He took out a red beast-hide map and handed it to Wang Changsheng. Pointing to a blue mark, he said, "My master is temporarily residing here. It's quite a distance from here, so it will be hard on you, Fellow Daoist Wang. I need to circulate my energy to refine the medicine's potency and heal my injuries."

Wang Changsheng nodded. He formed a hand seal, and the Green Luan Boat immediately glowed with a brilliant green light, soaring into the sky. Soon after, it disappeared into the horizon.

In a thousand-acre manor within the Blood Shadow Mountain Range, the Blood Shadow Race's lair, Haoming was reporting to Xueyun.

"Our tribesmen recently encountered two human cultivators. True Monarch Taiyang escaped, but we captured one's Nascent Soul alive and soul-searched him. We found out that they were with the Qinglian Immortal Couple, searching for the Seven Flame Golden Peach Tree on Xuanguang Continent. Unfortunately, we got there first. Oh, and the Ni family from Guangyun Realm sent people to Xuanguang Continent, apparently looking for Divine Lord Xuanji."

"Divine Lord Xuanji! He's on Xuanguang Continent?" Xueyun asked in surprise.

Haoming reported, "I'm not sure. The Ni family specifically came here to find Divine Lord Xuanji. What's certain is that the Qinglian Immortal Couple is on Xuanguang Continent."

Xueyun commanded, her face filled with killing intent, "Send more people to search for Divine Lord Xuanji. Also, if you encounter the Qinglian Immortal Couple, kill them without mercy."

"Yes, Ancestor," Haoming replied and departed to carry out the order.
