312: Puppet No. 1

Xun Xiuyuan finally broke through the bizarre mist formation, and as his divine sense spread out, he saw the large group of people opposite him.

However, Xun Xiuyuan's divine sense ultimately stopped on an illusory figure.

The strength of this illusory figure clearly exceeded the scope of the True Saint Realm.

The illusory figure spoke, "Are you truly a Heavenly God? You actually broke through the mist formation within a week?"

Xun Xiuyuan looked at the illusory figure opposite him and asked in a deep voice, "Are you from the Eternal Great World?"

The illusory figure laughed, "At least I am a person of the Eternal Great World now."

Xun Xiuyuan understood that this unknown powerhouse was not from the Eternal Great World.

The illusory figure continued, "As long as you withdraw from the Eternal Great World, I will recall the killing formation."

After speaking, the illusory figure waved a hand, and within a radius of several kilometers around Xun Xiuyuan, array eyes lit up one after another.

Xun Xiuyuan immediately felt a chill down his spine—a Great Saint-level killing formation.

But Xun Xiuyuan knew that the person before him must be from the Yuan Ling Sect, yet given his secretive demeanor, he was probably acting discreetly.

Thinking of this, Xun Xiuyuan decided to first test the strength of this great formation. If it proved insurmountable, he would then reconsider his options.

Xun Xiuyuan's internal mini-universe furiously revolved, fully unleashing his World Power. This was the first time Xun Xiuyuan had used the World Power of his entire mini-universe with all his might.

In just an instant, the great formation outside was activated.

Countless attacks surged towards Xun Xiuyuan.

Due to Xun Xiuyuan's powerful physique, these attacks did not cause him much harm.

Among them were many soul attacks. Without the protection of the Ling Tian Pagoda, Xun Xiuyuan could only endure the soul attacks directly.

Fortunately, with his mental power exceeding 100 million, Xun Xiuyuan's soul defense barely reached the threshold of the Great Saint Realm.

Seeing Xun Xiuyuan activate the great formation and withstand all the attacks, the illusory figure also looked solemn; though his face was indistinct, his emotions were still palpable.

The illusory figure couldn't help but say, "This Xun Xiuyuan's defense is so strong? If it were you all, it would probably be impossible to survive."

The 'you all' referred to the group of True Saints from the Eternal Great World standing beside the illusory figure.

Just a simple formation proved that Xun Xiuyuan's strength was far superior to theirs.

Finally, the illusory figure looked at Xun Xiuyuan, who was furiously destroying the great formation, and said helplessly, "This Xun Xiuyuan's strength has exceeded my imagination. He can already fully rival the Great Saint Realm. You all should retreat to a safe distance."

Ye Wuchou also saw Xun Xiuyuan's abnormal strength at this moment and completely obeyed the illusory figure's words. At this point, the Eternal Great World seemed like meat on a chopping block.

They could only place all their hopes on the illusory figure before them.

The illusory figure watched Xun Xiuyuan's actions and directly teleported to the periphery of the great formation, waiting for Xun Xiuyuan to break it. Since the great formation couldn't trap and kill Xun Xiuyuan, he would have to take action himself.

Although Xun Xiuyuan was destroying the great formation, he still noticed the movements of the Eternal Great World's people and saw the illusory figure's preparations.

He once again fully controlled his World Power to destroy all the surrounding environment. Eventually, some array eyes were affected by Xun Xiuyuan's environmental changes and lost their effectiveness.

It should be known that Xun Xiuyuan's A Thought Blooms could alter the real world. Although it could only make local changes, destroying some array eyes was still achievable.

However, even though Xun Xiuyuan broke the formation, he emerged from it covered in wounds.

Just breaking this one killing formation, Xun Xiuyuan had to recover his state five times. If it were an ordinary Great Saint, he would at least lose a layer of skin, if not die.

Xun Xiuyuan stood before the illusory figure and asked, "Who are you?"

The illusory figure saw Xun Xiuyuan, who was originally extremely weak, miraculously return to his peak state the moment he stepped out of the great formation.

His plan to use the great formation to deplete Xun Xiuyuan's state had utterly failed.

The illusory figure was a little incredulous: "You actually walked out of the great formation completely unscathed?"

Xun Xiuyuan understood the other party's thoughts, and naturally, he wouldn't explain anything.

He asked again, "Who are you? Which powerful being from the Yuan Ling Sect do you serve?"

Xun Xiuyuan had some understanding of the Yuan Ling Sect; Titan had told him some things back then.

The four guardian Saint Beasts and the eight Great Elders were all super powerhouses at the peak of the Great Saint Realm, just a step away from being Saint Kings.

The illusory figure snorted coldly and said, "Mountain Fire's subordinate, Puppet Number One."

Xun Xiuyuan was instantly surprised. A puppet? A Great Saint-level puppet?

Then this Mountain Fire's path of puppetry was truly formidable.

In fact, Mountain Fire had researched the path of puppetry for tens of thousands of years, but he only had this one Great Saint-level puppet, and it was acquired by accident.

If Mountain Fire could mass-produce Great Saint-level puppets, that would be truly astonishing.

After speaking, Puppet Number One directly teleported next to Xun Xiuyuan, and a pitch-black palm pressed down on Xun Xiuyuan's head.

Xun Xiuyuan only felt that the space around him was completely sealed, and he couldn't move an inch.

Xun Xiuyuan also knew that this puppet's main law must be the Law of Space.

His body vibrated, and his World Power erupted with full force, forcing a slight gap open around him. Puppet Number One's palm landed on Xun Xiuyuan's shoulder.

Half of Xun Xiuyuan's body instantly shattered, slowly being torn apart by the power of space until it dispersed.

The remaining half of Xun Xiuyuan's body, the moment the puppet's power loosened, teleported away a certain distance.

Five hundred billion exotic beast value disappeared, and Xun Xiuyuan's body was rapidly recovering.

Puppet Number One was very surprised; this was already his strongest attack method.

Sealing the entire space, instantly killing.

On the battlefield, some powerhouses who had just entered the Great Saint Realm had fallen at the hands of Puppet Number One.

Unexpectedly, this Xun Xiuyuan before him was so vigilant, and crucially, he could even break free from his spatial lock.

Xun Xiuyuan's recovery was very fast. With the full operation of his internal mini-universe, coupled with the system's recovery bonus, Xun Xiuyuan had already returned to his original state in the instant Puppet Number One was stunned.

Xun Xiuyuan looked at the illusory figure opposite him and said, "Do you have any other moves? If not, then it's my turn."

As long as he could withstand the opponent's attacks, then for Xun Xiuyuan, the enemy was no longer an opponent.

The old routine: wear the opponent down, even if it meant slowly grinding them to death.

Puppet Number One stared intently at Xun Xiuyuan and spoke again, "Your strength has truly exceeded my imagination again. If one strike doesn't kill you, then there will be two. Let's see how many times you can recover?"

Wearing down the opponent was also Puppet Number One's usual routine.

As a puppet, his physique was powerful, forged entirely from peak Great Saint-level materials, and his mental power also reached the Great Saint level.

His physique was incomparably strong; as long as his internal energy didn't deplete, he could continue fighting indefinitely. Therefore, Puppet Number One's strength lay precisely in continuous, sustained combat until his internal energy ran dry.
