Chapter 262 Earth-Rank Spiritual Treasure
Upon seeing the system notification, Chen Yang's spirits lifted, his blood surged, and he could no longer contain his excitement!
The last time Chen Yang saw this notification was when he used his own eyes.
At that time, Su Nuanyun treated her own eyes. Although she had reached the peak of supernatural powers, she still couldn't completely heal her eyes. It was because her eyes fused with the blood essence of the ancient god and continued to upgrade that she gained the current Evil-Slaying Thunder Dragon Eyes.
Now, Chen Yang never expected that this black-armored soldier puppet could actually fuse with the blood essence of the ancient god!
It must have been when the eight holy demons self-destructed that the ancient god's essence blood entered his puppet's body!
Chen Yang suppressed his excitement and immediately chose to merge.
[Ding! The fusion of the black-armored puppet soldier and the ancient god's blood essence has been completed, costing 50,000 spirit stones!]
With a "whoosh," the five black-armored puppet soldiers in front of him instantly glowed with a pure black aura. At the same time, an eerie aura emanated from them.
Chen Yang stared wide-eyed at the five puppets in front of him.
The five puppet soldiers looked exactly the same as before the fusion, but their expressions and auras had completely changed.
Chen Yang circled the five black-armored puppet soldiers, scrutinizing them carefully.
Suddenly, Chen Yang realized what had changed—although these five puppet soldiers were exactly the same as before, still with the bodies of black-armored puppets and the structure of machines, after fusion, Chen Yang discovered that the ancient god's blood essence seemed to have infused them with a trace of consciousness!
Previously, the black-armored puppet soldiers were very powerful, but they were ultimately mechanical, dull-witted, and merely puppets and playthings. Now, however, although their appearance hasn't changed, their aura and expressions are remarkably human!
Yes, they began to have the true human qualities and vitality!
Chen Yang nodded in satisfaction, chuckled, and immediately reopened the system and opened the panel.
If it's the same as before, it means that after the fusion, this set of black-armored puppet soldiers can continue to evolve, but it will consume so-called alien source fragments.
Chen Yang now guesses that the so-called fragments of the Otherworld Source are the essence of the world where the Ancient God resides, but the Ancient God's world shattered, causing the fragments to fall to various places.
It is precisely because these fragments are also imbued with the aura of the ancient gods that they can be used to command ordinary demons.
Chen Yang checked his panel.
Sure enough, after clicking the puppet soldier option at the bottom of the panel, a new prompt appeared:
[Ding! Do you wish to consume one Otherworldly Source Fragment and 20 Spirit Stones to evolve the Black Armored Puppet Soldier?]
Chen Yang chuckled, "Then I absolutely have to choose yes! Although 20 spirit stones is indeed a bit much, this kind of evolution is well worth it!"
Chen Yang immediately chose "Yes"!
With a hum, the five black-armored puppet soldiers in front of Chen Yang trembled violently!
The next moment, their size expanded once again, and each black-armored puppet soldier grew to more than 1.9 meters tall! More importantly, the bones, joints, and mechanical parts on their bodies were no longer visible. In their place, a layer of bronze skin appeared on their surface.
Their skin was somewhat human-like, only much darker than normal skin, almost like that of Africans. Their faces were also round and angular, and they even had pupils in their eyes! However, despite looking very human, they were still hard to the touch.
These humanoid changes are not important. What is important is that the aura of these five black-armored puppet soldiers suddenly intensified, and Chen Yang could even faintly sense a trace of sword intent from them!
Chen Yang opened his own panel and looked at it:
[Ding! The Black Armored Puppet Soldier has evolved into the Bronze Bone Greatsword Puppet Set!]
Chen Yang stroked his chin and couldn't help but mutter, "Great swordsmen? Holy crap! It seems they haven't just become physically stronger, they've also perfectly mastered swordsmanship!"
With a thought from Chen Yang, one of the great swordsmen shot into the sky!
The Seven Star Sword appeared in his hand. This high-grade spiritual weapon was wielded with ease in his hands. With each stroke of his swordsmanship, the sword energy was sharp and incomparably piercing!
With a whoosh, he easily sliced open a rock more than 10 meters away, as if he were cutting tofu!
Chen Yang was greatly surprised. The attack power of this evolved Great Swordsman Puppet Set was simply too fierce! And this was only one swordsman. If five swordsmen attacked at the same time, combined with the Star Sword Formation and their own sword intent, their attack power would be invincible!
Let alone those below the Foundation Establishment Realm, even cultivators who have reached the Foundation Establishment Realm would absolutely not be able to withstand the combined attack of these five great swordsmen!
However, the biggest problem with Foundation Establishment cultivators lies in the domains surrounding their bodies. If you can't suppress the domains of those Foundation Establishment cultivators, it's still very difficult to kill one.
Chen Yang looked at the panel again. The puppet in front of him was already this strong after its first evolution. If it were to evolve again, it would truly be heaven-defying!
A prompt appears at the bottom of the panel:
[Ding! Do you wish to upgrade the Bronze Drum Greatsword Puppet Set by consuming two Otherworldly Source Fragments and two million Spirit Stones?]
Chen Yang's lips twitched as he looked at the words "200 million spirit stones".
As for the two fragments of the Otherworldly Source, I do have them.
I had three coins left, and now I've used one, so I have two left.
However, 200 million spirit stones is indeed a lot!
However, Chen Yang didn't find it hard to accept.
After all, upgrading the Golden Armor Tiger-Headed Eagle costs 80, and upgrading one's own eyes costs 100 million. In comparison, upgrading this puppet set costs 200 million, which doesn't seem particularly outrageous.
The only problem is that this thing upgrades by jumping 10 times every time, which is really a bit unbearable!
Chen Yang waved his hand, putting the puppet suit into his storage ring, and couldn't help but chuckle.
With this Great Swordsman Puppet Set, I can now properly prepare for advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm!
Just then, a huge stone gate in front of us suddenly opened with a loud bang!
Chen Yang looked toward the stone gate and saw Gao Miao, dressed in a black robe, running quickly toward it, with Li Yalan following behind him.
Two women entered the cave together.
Gao Miao looked flustered. She thought that the Eight-Headed Holy Demon had gone mad or that something strange had happened. She rushed over in order to help the Eight-Headed Holy Demon regain its senses.
However, when she came in, she saw Chen Yang and a tiger-like monster on the ground, devouring the corpse of the Eight-Headed Holy Demon!
Enraged, Gao Miao threw a black, upside-down ancient bell without thinking, which instantly flew to the top of Chen Yang's head!
Just as Chen Yang was about to dodge, the ancient bell suddenly emitted three muffled "dong dong dong" sounds!
The sound was muffled and almost inaudible, but Chen Yang, who was standing next to him, suddenly froze.
These three voices sounded as if they were spoken one after another, but in reality they entered Chen Yang's mind at the same time!
The distant chimes, carrying an evil aura, had already entered the deepest part of Chen Yang's spiritual sea in the blink of an eye.
Before Chen Yang could dodge, he suddenly let out a scream, as if his mind had been struck hard by three giant hammers!
Enraged, Gao Miao roared, "Where did this bastard come from, daring to harm my Holy Demon? Die!"
Gao Miao waved his hand, and a flying sword appeared in his hand, ready to stab Chen Yang!
Li Yalan, who was behind her, was startled. She had never expected Gao Miao's methods to be so clever!
At this moment, Li Yalan disregarded her own safety, her hands suddenly forming strange hand seals, her pretty face instantly filled with murderous intent, and a few eerie blue flashes quickly passed through her black eyes!
The space in front of Li Yalan instantly twisted and folded! Gao Miao, who was in front of her, had no idea that Li Yalan would attack him and was completely unprepared!
In an instant, Gao Miao's human body twisted and folded, torn into five pieces by space, and fell to the ground! Blood and flesh flowed everywhere.
Gao Miao let out an angry scream, and after her body exploded, with a "boom," a strange, emerald-green man-eating flower rose up from the ground!
The giant man-eating flower in front of them grew wildly and in the blink of an eye transformed into an elite alien demon that was 50 meters tall, enormous, and exuding a strange green mist!
The body of this man-eating flower is covered with ghostly faces that reveal sharp teeth and claws.
The next moment, all those ghost faces transformed into Gao Miao's likeness.
All the ghostly faces roared in unison, "You damned woman! I served you so well, and you dare to destroy my body!"
Seeing this scene, Li Yalan retreated repeatedly, once again activating the ability she had learned in her dream, wanting to completely kill the man-eating flower!
However, it was completely useless. This man-eating plant was too huge, and its spatial cutting ability was of little use to it!
Gao Miao roared angrily, "You think you can compete with me with your pathetic abilities? Die!"
Then, more than a dozen ghost faces suddenly pounced down on Li Yalan from the man-eating flower!
At this moment, Chen Yang had regained his senses. He stretched out his body, holding the Yang Lei Sword, and instantly rushed to the man-eating flower, thrusting the sword down!
Lightning crackled on the Yang Lei Sword, and at the same time, the lightning in Chen Yang's eyes instantly pierced through the roots of the man-eating flower!
The Yang Lei Sword and his own Evil-Slaying Thunder Dragon Eyes were activated simultaneously.
In just a few seconds, the terrifyingly large man-eating flower turned into a wisp of green smoke and entered Chen Yang's mind!
Chen Yang gasped for breath and looked at Li Yalan.
Li Yalan, having survived the ordeal, rushed over and hugged Chen Yang tightly.
Chen Yang patted Li Yalan on the back and said, "Alright, alright, don't worry, I've dealt with the monster. Damn, I didn't expect that ugly woman would have such a powerful magical treasure. I was caught off guard and almost fell for her attack."
Chen Yang offered a few words of comfort, then turned back to his previous spot and picked up a fist-sized black ancient bell from the ground.
At this point, a notification appeared in my system panel:
[Ding! Host has obtained a Tier 1 Spiritual Treasure—the Three Fiends Soul-Suppressing Bell!]
"Huh? Holy crap? Earth-rank spiritual treasure?"
This was the first time Chen Yang had ever come into contact with such a high-level spiritual treasure!
He sensed it and realized that the Three Fiends Soul-Suppressing Bell's function was to directly suppress the soul! Even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't withstand its full-force attack!
Chen Yang suddenly felt a wave of fear. Fortunately, his mental strength was exceptionally strong; otherwise, he would have been caught off guard and killed by that ugly woman, Gao Miao!
"However, it's a Rank 1 Earth- Elemental Treasure! If I were to upgrade it further, how powerful would it be!"
Chen Yang felt a surge of excitement and immediately opened his system panel.
