Chapter 958: Grand Puppet Art

Golden Silkworm and Myriad Beast Domain fused together. The beast souls gained a golden layer and a Buddhist affinity.

The strongest 442 beasts were in the center while the rest lined up to the sides, resulting in a magnificent picture.

Feiyun looked confident as he raised his spear.

“He has two domains at the same time?!”

Everyone became afraid including Liu Suzi and Eighth’s group.

Remember, it was exceedingly rare for a fourth-level cultivator to have a domain. To have two meant going down in the historical annals. A dynasty might not have one at all before collapsing.

This half-demon was one of them!

“No wonder why he bought so many sacred beast souls. Does he want ten thousand? A myriad-fold power then…” Liu Suzi became frightened.

The other geniuses were smart enough to think about this possibility as well.

Possessing a myriad-fold potential meant being unbeatable in the same realm. He would have the best offensive capability ever.

“No wonder why the deity wanted to see him. Her vision is impeccable.”

Huang Tian was shaken for a bit but managed to regain his composure. This was only potential, not the present. So what if he got summoned by the deity? The deity wouldn’t interfere with the young generation’s compet.i.tion anyway.

Nonetheless, he had offended this half-demon. It was best to try and take him down now.

He chanted a dao mantra and nine waves of energies rushed out. They turned into nine green swords and started flying towards Feiyun from different directions.

Feiyun swung his spear repeatedly to stop the incoming swords. Eventually, he gathered enough energy for a thrust strong enough to obliterate all nine. It then turned into a poisonous dragon and pierced Huang Tian’s chest. His rib cages shattered as well.

“A puppet again!” Feiyun suddenly changed the direction of his thrust, thrusting it upward.

“Pluff!” He pierced the Huang Tian above from the head down to the foot sole. Blood dripped down from the spear and fell on his hand.

“I am invincible!” Huang Tian appeared to Feiyun’s left while thrusting his sword forward.

Feiyun immediately pinned his spear onto the ground and caught the sword bare-handed, crus.h.i.+ng the blade into numerous pieces.

He slapped Huang Tian’s head and dismembered him.

This was just another puppet, the fourth one. The corpses seemed so real and they had a similar power to Huang Tian.

“What a strange art.” One genius felt his scalp tingling.

“This is the dao puppet technique from the Grand Puppet Art, one of eight. The real technique is long gone, only four branches are left - dao puppet, Buddhist puppet, death puppet, and sacred puppet. The puppet arts in the present day are derived from these four.” Liu Suzi elaborated.

“Huang Tian’s dao puppet art is at the blood stage, meaning that his blood drop can turn into a puppet. However, it’s limited to thirty percent of his power. Rumor has it that the original one can exert up to fifty percent.”

“In reality, Huang Tian actually attacked every time. He simply activated his technique whenever Feiyun struck him, letting the puppet die instead.” She finished.

“So he’s actually unkillable?” Huang Yuchang asked.

She didn’t respond.

Meanwhile, Feiyun had killed the eighth one.

‘Heavenly Phoenix Gaze.’ His eyes became crimson like two fiery meteors with a phoenix flying inside and screeching.

His gaze was at the omniscient level so he could see Huang Tian’s blood, even the flowing speed of each drop.

‘There’s a time limit to each puppet switch, I just need to kill him twice during the interim.’ He concluded.

“See, your two domains are useless. A half-demon like you can’t kill me. Grand Dao Disk.” Huang Tian rotated his hands and threw a disk at Feiyun.

‘Now!’ Feiyun activated his two domains and punched through the disk, crus.h.i.+ng Huang Tian’s head.

At the same time, his weapon essence flew out and turned into thousands of swords. They started ravaging the area in all directions. Loud gales could be heard as their energies cut through the air.

“Pluff! Pluff! Pluff!”

Bits of flesh fell from the air - fingers, arms, legs, heads…

This time around, there were far more blood puddles and corpses on the ground.

The scene became silent as everyone searched for Huang Tian, thinking that he would appear again.

“No need to look, he’s dead.” Liu Suzi waved her fan and smiled at Liu Suhong who was sitting on the second floor.

She then turned towards Eight and said: “Looks like there’s a new number one genius in Crimson now, Feiyun with his dual domains.”

“Hmph, he’s not worthy.” Eight sneered.

“Whoos.h.!.+” He then appeared in front of Feiyun in the next second and said: “I didn’t expect you to grow so strong, I should have killed you back at the battlefield, what a mistake.”

Eighth was one to get rid of problems at the root. However, Feiyun managed to escape several times and came back stronger.

Feiyun also had a high evaluation of this genius. The guy was talented and crafty. There were mysteries hidden in his dantian as well, not to mention the pseudo-saint bloodline.

“If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have reached the fourth level so fast, thanks.” Feiyun smiled.

“No problem!” Eighth smiled coldly; his eyes were as sharp as a hawk’s.

A red qilin appeared behind him. It roared and caused Feiyun’s domain to tremble.

“You’ll be history soon, dual-domain wielder.” Eighth summoned a sword with a blade as wide as a palm. One half was red and the other half white. A monstrous power resembling a dragon was contained inside.

“s.h.i.+t! The clan master gave him Omnipotent. This is meant for the successor of each generation and used to belong to our progenitor. This has been the case for millions of years. The clan masters added their power to it, turning this once-ordinary sword with common materials into something great. It’s not our clan’s strongest weapon but it carries immense significance. The wills of the clan masters embedded within can’t be resisted.” Ninth said.

Sure enough, the oppressive aura of this sword made it unbearable for the geniuses nearby. They staggered backward and channeled their own power to stop this sword intent.

Some turned pale and couldn’t handle the pain. Meanwhile, Feiyun was facing the brunt of this aura.

He naturally didn’t mind since his body contained the ashes of the saints. Their wills were far more impressive.

Nonetheless, the sword shouldn’t be underestimated. Putting the embedded wills aside, it was a real tenth-ranked weapon at this point.

At the tenth rank, a spirit treasure can unleash a four-hundredfold attack. If it wasn’t for the meteoric pressure, a fully-activated attack can destroy a city.

Feiyun became serious and channeled all of his power. His domains started proliferating once more as he reached his peak state.
