Chapter 501: Chapter 136: Saving Empyrean Kong shi (Part 4)

“Competing with the war puppet in strength? Overestimating oneself!”

Seeing his actions, Mo Qianji chuckled lightly.

The Golden Armor Battle Puppet is a weapon forged by countless craftsmen, a powerful celestial treasure difficult to break its defense. This guy here wants to rely on his mere corpse to contend with it. Isn’t that asking for trouble?

“Die!”

Sure enough, the Golden Armor Battle Puppet, seeing Zhang Xuan’s move, its expressionless face showed a hint of ferocity, and its fist large as a millstone came straight ahead.

The two fists collided, the rampant strength surged outward, instantly tearing the surrounding air apart, forming a circle of rippling air waves.

“Such hard fists!”

Zhang Xuan was surprised.

After fusing the Destiny Finger Bone Relic, his fist might not have reached the Eternal Golden Body Level, but it was very close. Normally, artifacts could be crippled with a squeeze, but this big fellow is confronting him directly without backing down.

It truly is a remarkable artifact created from the blood essence of countless craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry.

Yet, he felt no fear, his strength, driven by the Eternal Heart, surged throughout his body, making him appear both godlike and demonic; in the blink of an eye, he seemed to transform with three heads and six arms, launching a frenzied assault on the Golden Armor Battle Puppet.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The booming sound like that of a great bell echoed ceaselessly in the air, as the two figures appeared suddenly and disappeared suddenly; cultivators with slightly lower cultivation couldn’t see the figures, let alone understand the battle.

“It’s my first time seeing someone battle with the Golden Armor Battle Puppet using a corpse!”

“Yes, it’s the first time for me too. But… is that guy insane? Obviously, he can win with other tactics, why use brute force?”

“I can’t figure it out either; this is risking great exhaustion of strength, hard to imagine why he’s taking such a gamble…”

Everyone watching furrowed their eyebrows.

If it were only the Golden Armor Battle Puppet, he could fight as he pleased, without anyone interfering, but besides it are three Royal Secretaries, a master of Music Heavenly Destiny, and a Crown Prince!

All these people want to kill him, and yet without quick resolution, he fights bodily against a puppet; is this guy out of his mind, or is his thinking skewed?

“This guy is peculiar; please intervene quickly, three Royal Secretaries!”

Frowning, Prince Yuanqing commanded.

“Alright!”

Minister of War Yue Qingtian nodded, reached forward, and a weapon appeared in his palm.

Heavenly Spear National Guardian Halberd!

A violent weapon nurtured by battle and blood, truly a guardian artifact of the nation.

Minister of the Ministry of Justice Yin Jiuyu did not say a word, merely flicking his wrist, sending another black-and-white execution tool flying out.

Ministry of Justice’s supreme artifact, Execution Lock!

The three Royal Secretaries summoned their most powerful celestial treasures.

“Cease!”

A soft command came, as Yue Qingtian swung the Heavenly Spear National Guardian Halberd over.

Their position was separated by miles, yet the strength struck directly at the back without deviating.

Knowing that this level of attack from a powerful cultivator was self-guided like a missile, Zhang Xuan, instead of evading, continued assaulting the Golden Armor Battle Puppet, exposing the nape of his neck towards the attack.

Knowing the power of his strike, Yue Qingtian worried he might kill Zhange Xuan instantly, so he slightly held back; yet, even so, usually, a Life Sea 9-dan cultivator would explode on the spot.

But Zhang Xuan was different; with powerful strength connecting to the back of his neck, a skull emitting gentle light surfaced, blocking the attack completely outside.

“Amitabha, it’s the Skull Relic of Miao Hui Void Bodhisattva; this guy wants to use Minister Yue’s attack to forge it!”

In the crowd, a middle-aged man looked solemn, disguised as a High Monk.

As a Bodhisattva of the Buddhist Sect, he naturally knew the terror of this relic, condensed by a Bodhisattva exhausting all cultivation; once forged successfully, Zhang Xuan’s head will be impregnable, with almost no celestial treasure able to pierce it.

“Should we intervene?”

The monk beside inquired.

The Bodhisattva shook his head: “Not the time yet! Intervening now would openly oppose the Tianli Empire, a lot of trouble would follow; wait till Zhang Xuan is exhausted and almost being killed, then intervening won’t be too late!”

The powerful clans present weren’t only the Buddhist Sect, none made a move, evidently waiting for the right opportunity; the Buddhist Sect wouldn’t be the one making the bold move.

“But… I’m afraid if we wait any longer, Zhang Xuan will completely forge this Buddha Relic and grow stronger…”

The monk expressed concern.

“Rest assured, the Buddha Bone Relic is not easily forged; besides, the three Royal Secretaries surely won’t give him the chance!”

The Bodhisattva snorted coldly.

He could discern the target’s purpose, as could the three battle-seasoned Royal Secretaries; there’s no way they’d allow his strength to continually grow unimpeded.

“If you wish to progress using my power, the idea is great, but determining whether you can hold on lies with me!”

Indeed, before the Bodhisattva’s statement faded, Minister Yue in the air gazed sharply, his Heavenly Spear National Guardian Halberd swung again.

This time, the strength increased notably by double; before approaching, the sheer pressure like a meteor fall, suffocating.

Furthermore, critically, this attack aimed at not Zhang Xuan’s head but his waist.

Apparently, he wasn’t inclined to fulfill the opponent’s intent but to slay him first.

At this juncture, Minister of the Ministry of Justice Yin Jiuyu also hurled over the Execution Lock.

“Qi Fortune burns!”

Knowing the Golden Armor Battle Puppet stood ahead, with three Bodhisattva Level Royal Secretaries collaborating, merely defending with movement technique would nearly be impossible; Zhang Xuan, taking no time to deliberate, immediately activated vast Qi Fortune within.

This borrowed power was intended for use today; if not, he genuinely feared he might perish on the spot.

The top-notch celestial treasures of the two Royal Secretaries aimed respectively at Zhang Xuan’s chest and waist.

The nearby Golden Armor Battle Puppet sent its fist straight towards his heart.

Amid the chaos of Qi Fortune burning, whether under the Dao’s manipulation or indeed luck fortifying, once the three forces connected, they instantly affected each other.

Initially targeted at the chest, waist, and heart, the attacks all converged on his head.

Boom!

The full force of the three Royal Secretaries, as one can imagine; even Miao Hui Void Bodhisattva’s Skull Relic, impossibly tough, immediately succumbed, exploded, turning into a cloud of dust.

“Hahaha, much appreciated!”

Zhang Xuan laughed heartily.

To quickly forge this Skull Relic, the most expedited method was shattering and absorbing, merging it with his own skull.

However, this thing was too hard; with his strength, it would take decades, or even centuries, to succeed; but now, leveraging the attack of the three Royal Secretaries and ferocious Qi Fortune, it shattered directly.

“Absorb!”

With a wide-open mouth, he inhaled forcefully, the dust from the relic explosion was swallowed into his throat, infiltrating into his skull, swiftly merging, under the pulse of the Eternal Heart.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xuan’s aura seemed to break through shackles, growing increasingly stronger!

Bodhisattva Realm!
