The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 914: Chapter 914 Half-step Void God

The eight Saint Realm Third Stage martial artists, relying on the powerful formations, initially had no problems holding off the four puppets, including Lao Er.

But who would have thought that these incredibly powerful puppets would suddenly see a surge in combat power?

”No!” Dong Ze shouted.

”Retreat quickly!” Wan Ren Mountain also screamed.

After their cries were heard, two more of the Saint Realm Third Stage martial artists were slain. In the blink of an eye, only four remained from the original eight.

The remaining four immediately tried to retreat and escape. Their speed and movements were indeed swift. However, the puppets in their second form were even faster, and the surrounding formations no longer significantly affected these four puppets.

The four puppets each pursued one of the retreating Saint Realm Third Stage martial artists.

”Trying to run?”

”Dream on! Die!” The two sides were already engaged in close combat, and the distance between them was not far. Lao Er, being the strongest, was the first to catch up to a Saint Realm Third Stage martial artist wielding the Sect Suppressing Sacred Artifact. A flash of black blade light appeared in his hand.

”Ah!” The Saint Realm Third Stage martial artist holding the sacred artifact had his entire head obliterated by the black blade light.

Immediately after, Lao San also killed the Saint Realm Third Stage martial artist he was pursuing.

Although Lao Si and Lao Wu were slightly slower and less powerful, it took less than a breath’s time for the two Saint Realm Third Stage martial artists they chased to fall as well.

All eight Saint Realm Third Stage powerhouses perished here. From the moment the puppets transformed to the moment the eight martial artists died, the entire process took less than a breath.

After killing the eight Saint Realm Third Stage martial artists, the puppets, including Lao Er, did not stop but quickly charged towards Dong Ze and the other two.

While maintaining their second form, the energy consumption of the puppets was immense, and the energy they absorbed from the surroundings was far from enough to sustain them. Therefore, in their second form, they could not be maintained for long and had to kill as many enemies as possible while they could.

Dong Ze and the others were initially furious at the sight of the eight Saint Realm Third Stage martial artists being killed. But the next moment, seeing the puppets charging towards them, their hearts turned cold instantly.

Dong Ze hurriedly activated the power of the warship.

However, how could a mere Holy Artifact-level warship withstand the second form of the puppets, including Lao Er?

The energy barriers formed by the warship were almost completely ineffective, as the puppets easily pierced through them.

Seeing this, the faces of Dong Ze and his two companions turned green.

With their combined strength, they could hardly even hold off one of these second-form puppets, let alone four at the same time.

On the other side, Jing Yan was also watching. However, his attention was mainly focused on the warship behind Dong Ze and the others. His Divine Soul had scanned this warship several times, but when his Divine Thought tried to penetrate it, he encountered a formidable resistance. This made Jing Yan sense that there was something unusual about this warship.

Since the battle started, Jing Yan had been closely monitoring their warship. Now, with the puppets about to kill Dong Ze and the other two, if there was something hidden on that warship, it should reveal itself now.

”Master Yin Shui, save us!” Dong Ze thrust a sword towards the puppets, but the sword light was directly shattered by Lao Er’s body. He shouted anxiously.

The three of them retreated rapidly to the edge of the warship.

Lao Er’s long blade slashed out, and the black blade light swept towards the three.

”Boom!”

At this moment, a terrifying energy fluctuation emanated from the warship. This power forcibly pulled Lao Er’s blade light in mid-air.

Seeing this, Jing Yan’s pupils slightly contracted.

The second-form Lao Er’s strength was evident. Although Jing Yan had not yet fought a half-step Void God level martial artist, in his opinion, the second forms of Lao Er and Lao San surely had the combat power on that level.

”Snap!” Moments later, the black blade light shattered.

At the same time, a black figure emerged from the warship.

”Phew!” Dong Ze and the other two let out a breath of relief.

”Master Yin Shui, you finally took action.” Dong Ze respectfully greeted the black figure.

Wan Ren Mountain and Fang Jue both bowed.

The black figure, however, ignored Dong Ze and the others. His gaze was fixed on the four puppets, including Lao Er.

”You are Life Puppets?” The black figure, Yin Shui, said in a hoarse voice.

The four puppets cautiously watched the black figure, Yin Shui. Ying Shui gave them a strong sense of power.

”You must be from the Death Temple, right? In this world, only that place could have Life Puppets.”

”Ah, I see. You left the Death Temple with that boy Jing Yan, it seems he has obtained the full inheritance.” Yin Shui said to himself, looking at Jing Yan with an ominous smile.

”Who are you?” Lao Er frowned and asked.

”I am Yin Shui, from the God Realm,” Yin Shui said in a cold, hoarse voice.

”Hmph, I don’t care where you’re from. Attack!” Lao Er signaled the other three puppets and was the first to launch an assault on Yin Shui.

Maintaining their second form consumed a lot of energy, and the longer the delay, the worse it would be for them.

”Boom! Boom!” The four puppets attacked Yin Shui simultaneously.

In their second form, Lao Er and Lao San’s power was comparable to ordinary half-step Void Gods. Lao Si and Lao Wu were slightly weaker, but still formidable enough to crush Saint Realm Third Stage. The momentum of their combined attack was overwhelming.

In front of Yin Shui, suddenly a wave of blue ripples appeared, spreading outward and quickly making contact with the puppets. As the puppets were ensnared in these blue ripples, their speed significantly decreased, and their slashing motions seemed to be held back by an invisible force.

”Such strong attacks.”

”Even ordinary half-step Void Gods couldn’t withstand your assaults.”

”However, your use of laws is too crude, and your realm is pathetically low,” Yin Shui said with a smile, shaking his head.

He suddenly raised his hand and pressed down on the four puppets. A shadowy palm composed of the Power of Laws quickly enveloped them.

The four puppets only felt enormous pressure descending upon them, forcing their bodies downward.

”The materials used to create you are really resilient, making me quite envious. Even if I exerted all my strength, I couldn’t destroy you. However, suppressing you is possible,” Yin Shui shook his head, watching the descending puppets.

”What are you so smug about? If our eldest brother were here, he could kill you with one strike,” Lao Er and the other puppets struggled desperately, but Yin Shui was too strong for them to break free. Under this energy constraint, their energy consumption was extremely high, and at this rate, they would soon be unable to maintain their second form and revert to their normal state.
