The Four Great Divine Puppets_i

In the whirlpool, Jiang Ming activated the Pocket World Projection to encase both of them within it, to resist any potential dangers that might arise outside.

The attraction was strong, and he followed it forward, yet when he opened the Eye of Heavenly Mandate, he discovered multiple spaces ahead, each different, and all giving him an extremely dangerous feeling.

Upon scanning, he surprisingly did not find Wang Qiutong’s figure, and he too fell into one of the spaces.

This space was odd, with only one tree in the middle of the land, lush and verdant, with branches and leaves so dense they formed a canopy blocking out the sky, emitting endless Divine Light and pouring down Divine Dawn.

“Rule chains…” Holy Heart let out a cry of alarm, her gaze burning with shock, “Brother Jiang, is this a Rule Tree?”

Jiang Ming’s pupils also constricted, as he clearly saw a large number of chains hanging from the tall tree in front of him.

Those were clearly condensed from rules.

Each chain represented a different rule.

“Trespass in the master’s Divine Tomb, die!”

At that moment, Divine Light converged on the great tree, and four stalwart figures in black armor appeared, shouting loudly as they stepped forward.

Each seemed to harbor a Sun within their bodies, with the mighty Supreme Yang Qi surging violently, burning everything, destroying all things.

One of them flashed close in an instant, with a large hand covering the skies and reaching for Jiang Ming’s head. The surging power caused the Void to collapse, making Holy Heart tremble beside him, almost shattering.

“Too strong!” Holy Heart revealed a shocked expression, her body shook, and a pair of wings sprouted from her back, white light about to break through the heavens but instead shattered by the force above.

A dragon shadow also appeared behind her, yet let out a mournful cry and disintegrated.

Pfft…

Holy Heart spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her complexion instantly wilting, and at this moment, she felt death descending upon her.

There was fear mixed with a sense of powerlessness.

The gap was too great.

“Stand behind me!”

At that moment, Jiang Ming stepped forward and blocked all the force, his gaze narrowing, as the Pocket World Projection burst forth and sent the incoming person flying away.

“He has the power of the Twelfth Realm, but lacks the corresponding will. Is

this a puppet?”

Jiang Ming was astonished.

But he then noticed the other three had also arrived, and all four puppets leaped into the Void, positioned at four corners, instantly forming a Great Array, sealing him in the middle.

The oppressive force was stronger than that of World Descend, suppressing all, binding time and space.

“Four Images Extinguishing God Array, die!”

Four shouts merged into one, transforming into a towering wave. Each unleashed a palm strike, combining together to reach a terror beyond the limits of the Cosmos.

“Seal, suppress, then kill with overwhelming force; a regular Twelfth Realm certainly couldn’t withstand it!”

Jiang Ming’s thoughts turned, and he struck out once more.

All the power of his physical body was mobilized.

Law of Heaven and Earth thirty layers, Inch Fist forty-two layers, one hundredfold Life Gene Level, Infinite Rules, Exploding Heart Skill.

Three million golden battle marks foundational strength, one battle mark one Vajra Force.

This punch, Jiang Ming unleashed over a hundred trillion Vajra Forces, surpassing common sense, surpassing understanding, and even the Cosmos’s limit of endurance.

All four puppets, combined, were blown apart, and the array they formed also exploded violently, causing the four powerful beings to retreat, the backfiring force causing their bodies to crack.

“Die!”

Jiang Ming activated his Supreme Territory, suppressing half of the puppets’ strength at once, not giving them a chance to react, and then activated the power of the World Tree. Above him appeared a phantom of a huge tree, causing the space to tremble and nearly collapse in an instant.

Under the great tree, roots like soaring dragons stretched out, enveloping the four puppets within them, and no matter how they struggled, they could not escape.

The shadow of the tree disappeared, and so did they.

“It really works!”

Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

These four puppets were too powerful, possessing the strength of the Twelfth Realm. Except for not having the corresponding means and flexibility, they were not much different from Manji.

“Even so, it’s not certain that these four could confine Manji!”

Thinking this, Jiang Ming checked the Pocket World space and found the four puppets imprisoned under the World Tree, completely immobilized as if their wills had been erased.

He didn’t pay attention to them for now and instead looked forward.

“Brother Jiang, is it suppressed?” Holy Heart asked, shocked.

“Suppressed!”

“Amazing!” Holy Heart opened her mouth, uttering only two words.

First killing Manji, then suppressing four existences of the Twelfth Realm, how terrifying it was.

She thought back to the phantom of the great tree and felt an inexplicable chill, but she dared not think deeply nor wished to explore further.

The Brother Jiang before her eyes clearly surpassed common knowledge.

“Be careful, stand behind me!” Jiang Ming suddenly said.

Holy Heart was startled, then saw the divine tree in front of her burst forth with light. Chains of Order rose into the air, crisscrossing and interweaving, merging into a long spear.

The spear’s tip was aimed at Jiang Ming, its radiance causing the space around to tremble constantly, oscillating between collapse and suppression.

Facing the spear tip, Jiang Ming felt a chill run down his spine.

The sharp aura was more terrifying than the extreme point rule; the power it contained seemed capable of piercing through the universe.

The next moment, the spear burst with Divine Light and disappeared from sight.

“Supreme Territory, unfold!”

“Pocket World Projection, surround me!”

Jiang Ming consecutively activated two divine skills and saw the spear that was piercing towards him suddenly slow down in speed, yet it quickly broke through the power of the Pocket World Projection, aiming for his forehead.

However, relatively speaking, this speed was much too slow.

And the power it contained was also halved. Jiang Ming casually threw a punch and shattered the long spear, turning it into rule chains that flew back into the air, resettling on the great tree without any further movement, just quietly emitting the light of rules.

“There shouldn’t be anymore attacks, right?” Holy Heart said from behind Jiang Ming, still feeling a sense of lingering fear, patting her chest.

If she hadn’t followed Jiang Ming here, she would never have been able to make it this far.

“There shouldn’t be any left,” Jiang Ming nodded.

He finally understood why Manji had been in such a sorry state; if Manji had come to this space, he would likely have been doomed.

The four puppets were one thing, but the most terrifying was the final spear forged from the fusion of rules, so perfect that the power it unleashed frightened even him.

If it hadn’t been for the suppression of his Supreme Territory, even he wouldn’t have been confident in blocking it.

But looking at the Rule Tree in front of him, Jiang Ming’s eyes brightened, and with a flicker of his figure, he approached the tree, covering it with his Supreme Territory to prevent any accidents.

“There are a total of one hundred and eighty rules.” His eyes sparkled with a hint of excitement, “Were these understood by the Divine Tomb’s master, or were they forcibly cut from the universe’s rules by great divine skills?”

Unimown, and he didn’t want to know.

“Holy Heart, this is a great opportunity to comprehend rules, don’t miss it.” Jiang Ming called out and reached out to pluck a rule chain, only to find this segment shatter like a bubble, dissipating instantly.

His expression stiffened.
