Chapter 2716 - 2705: Blood Puppet

The surroundings were very tranquil.

This time, Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao truly felt like they couldn’t lift their heads. After all, they were geniuses from the Upper World!

Recalling how Ye Chenfeng had discovered the formation in the small palace and eventually opened the passage to leave it, and now, both of them fell into illusions while Ye Chenfeng soberly broke through the illusion.

This series of actions indicated that Ye Chenfeng had a meticulous mind.

From start to finish, this young man at the Earth God Realm never showed any panic, as if everything here was under his control. Could someone with such a mindset really be a thirty-year-old? But they knew their ancestor’s words must be true.

At this moment.

Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao began to regard Ye Chenfeng with more seriousness. Although his current cultivation was only at the Earth God Realm, his actions seemed very seasoned, much stronger than the two of them. Indeed, Wu Fengxian and Jiang Yuntian’s disciple was extraordinary.

It should be noted that even though Ye Chenfeng was only thirty, he had traversed through the Secular World, Ancient Martial World, Earth Profound Realm, Tian Xuan Realm, and many other places. In just a few years, he experienced countless life and death situations, naturally cultivating a rapidly growing mindset.

Ye Chenfeng didn’t want to linger here any longer: "Which passage do you think we should take?"

Ye Chenfeng also couldn’t discern the differences among the three passages, so he asked this question.

Lin Anhao, still looking a little unnatural, said: "We both can’t sense anything special in these three different passages. Brother Ye, can you feel anything unique?"

Ye Chenfeng shook his head: "Then let’s just randomly choose a passage!"

Seeing Ye Chenfeng shake his head, Lin Anhao and Lin Yurou felt relieved as well. After all, Ye Chenfeng was only at the Earth God Realm, and even they couldn’t detect anything; how could Ye Chenfeng possibly do so? It was Ye Chenfeng’s calm demeanor that had unnerved them.

Lin Anhao said to Ye Chenfeng: "Brother Ye, I will remember your life-saving grace. If you have no objections, then let’s take the passage on the left!"

The pure and delicate Lin Yurou bit her lip before saying: "Thank you for earlier. Some of your skills are indeed impressive, but your cultivation is a weakness, and we will protect you as much as possible."

Lin Yurou’s words were a veiled gratitude and apology, though she still felt slightly unconvinced. She believed she could repay Ye Chenfeng’s kindness here.

After all, no matter how immovable Ye Chenfeng’s mindset was or how seasoned his actions were, his cultivation was only at the Earth God Realm.

Ye Chenfeng just nodded at Lin Anhao and Lin Yurou’s thanks. Since he couldn’t sense anything, it didn’t matter which passage to take.

Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao stubbornly walked ahead, and Ye Chenfeng followed them into the left passage.

Ye Chenfeng quietly followed, waiting for the moment his cultivation would recover.

The left passage didn’t seem particularly special, but less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn later, a nauseating stench of decay and blood gradually permeated the air.

The left passage wasn’t very long, and after the smell of blood appeared in the air, Ye Chenfeng and the others reached the end.

Their view suddenly broadened, and they arrived in a small world.

This small world could only be described as a space the size of a plaza, yet it was called a small world.

Because it had soil, trees, and flowing water, at first glance, it gave a sense of scenic beauty.

But Ye Chenfeng, Lin Yurou, and Lin Anhao’s brows remained furrowed, as on the right side of this small world, there was a pool.

The pool continuously emanated a stench of decay and blood.

The color of the blood pool was chaotic, with red, green, and blue. It was impossible to tell how deep it was.

Just as Ye Chenfeng and the others arrived here.

The previously calm pool started to release bubbles incessantly.

Soon after, a blood-red hand emerged from the pool’s waters.

Slowly, slowly.

A figure rose from the pool. It couldn’t be called human; its entire skin was blood-red, with many parts rotted away, and disgusting worms crawled in and out of its flesh.

Its entire face was unrecognizable under layers of blood, with blood constantly seeping, exuding a strong aura from the Initial Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm.

Upon seeing this disgusting figure, Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao exclaimed in unison: "Blood Puppet."

As they uttered this name, the voice of Skyhawk, who had been following in the shadows, once again echoed in Ye Chenfeng’s mind, explaining the origin of the Blood Puppet to him.

This Blood Puppet was an entity without its own consciousness. Once activated, it had only one thought: "Kill!"

Refining a Blood Puppet was extremely difficult, requiring a collection of various heavenly materials and treasures first.

Moreover, refining a Blood Puppet required placing cultivators on their last breath into the refining pool.

The strength of the Blood Puppet matched the strength of the cultivator placed in.

The success rate of refining such Blood Puppets was very low.

It seemed like the Blood Puppet here was successfully refined, and each refining pool wouldn’t contain just one Blood Puppet.

The first Blood Puppet, at the Initial Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, emerged from the pool, letting out a hoarse roar.

Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao’s faces changed drastically, as the Blood Puppet was at the Initial Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm. Without its own consciousness or feeling pain, dealing with it would be even more difficult, and they were only at the Pinnacle of the Lesser Perfected Peak of the Divine Venerable Realm and just entering the Peak. Dealing with the Blood Puppet was truly challenging.

Hearing Skyhawk’s explanation, Ye Chenfeng communicated through his mind: "If there’s more than one Blood Puppet in this pool, what would be the cultivation of the strongest one?"

Skyhawk replied: "Master, that, I’m not sure, but there’s one thing I can almost confirm now: this should be the Chaos Demon Emperor’s tomb."

"During the Chaos Era, the Chaos Demon Emperor excelled in refining Blood Puppets, and coupled with the tragic beast sculptures in the previous small palace, all indicate that this place is inseparably linked with the Chaos Demon Emperor."
