Chapter 113: Upgrading the Spirit Puppet
Lin Langtian recalled that, after establishing a blood bond with the Nine Nether Bird, Mu Chen was asked to seek the essence blood of the North Sea Dragon Kun. When the Nine Nether Bird received this essence, it broke through its limitations, awakening its ancient bloodline to evolve into a Nine Nether Underworld Sparrow.
Now, Elder Ling had asked him to find the blood of the Kunpeng Clan, which made sense. In Tianxuan Continent, the Kunpeng Clan was one of the four dominant beast clans, standing alongside the Dragon Clan with equal renown. As for whether the Kunpeng Clan or the North Sea Dragon Kun possessed superior blood, Lin Langtian couldn't say. However, Elder Ling, having fallen from her former Nine Nether Flame Sparrow form, needed this blood for her recovery. He was determined to help her obtain it.
However, the Kunpeng Clan was stronger than any of the super-sects in the Eastern Profound Region. Given Lin Langtian's current power, he would have to wait until he became much stronger before attempting to retrieve it. Elder Ling understood this, so she hadn't imposed a time limit.
After Lin Langtian readily agreed to her request, the earlier tensions over the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror seemed to dissipate between them. Gazing upon the dense demonic energy in the mirror's inner world, Lin Langtian felt a tinge of regret that he couldn't yet master the "Demonic Arts Manual" now.
They had about a year until the Hundred Dynasties War began.
Sensing Lin Langtian's thoughts, Elder Ling spoke up, "While you cannot absorb this demonic energy yet—just as most living beings in the Great Thousand World cannot—there is something you possess that can. It could consume this energy and grow stronger."
Lin Langtian paused, then his eyes lit up. "You mean…the spirit puppet?"
"Exactly. A puppet, being a lifeless construct, can absorb any power without restraint. If you use this demonic energy to repair it, you'll have a true Nirvana-level ally at your disposal," Elder Ling said with a smile.
A spark of joy ignited in Lin Langtian's eyes. The spirit puppet wasn't a human, so it didn't face issues with conflicting energies. With this transformation, its strength could even exceed that of a typical Nirvana-level opponent.
Without hesitation, Lin Langtian waved his hand, summoning the towering puppet before him. He gestured, and a massive column of pure demonic energy began to descend from the sky like a dark waterfall, drenching the puppet.
Sizzle…
As the energy seeped into the puppet, it began to emit a soft, sizzling sound, and the spirit within grew more ferocious. Under the demonic energy's influence, the puppet's aura surged, gradually transforming into something even more menacing.
"It's working," Lin Langtian said, his eyes bright with excitement.
"Be cautious," Elder Ling warned. "This energy is incredibly corrosive. If it disrupts the spiritual mark you placed within the puppet, it will break free from your control and become a rampaging killing machine. You won't have a chance to undo it if that happens!"
Lin Langtian's expression turned serious, every nerve taut. He summoned his spirit energy, sending it into the puppet to reinforce his spiritual mark. To his surprise, the demonic energy near his mark seemed to recognize his presence, obediently parting and avoiding his spiritual imprint without attempting to invade.
Struck by this odd behavior, Lin Langtian wondered if this deference from the demonic energy was because he was the mirror's master. However, he set these questions aside, intent on strengthening the puppet.
More and more demonic energy flowed into the puppet, its dark aura becoming thicker and heavier. As it absorbed this energy, the bronze hue of its skin gradually darkened until it gleamed with an ominous black luster.
With the puppet's transformation complete, Lin Langtian couldn't hide his excitement. He was eager to see the full extent of its newfound strength.
"Punch that lake over there," he commanded.
The puppet's eyes glowed with black light as it clenched its fist and punched forward. The very space before it seemed to distort, compressing the air into a ten-foot-wide shockwave that shot toward the lake below.
BOOM!
The impact was deafening, and a massive wave surged up, crashing against the cliff face and shaking the entire inner world. Just one punch had such frightening power!
Lin Langtian was momentarily stunned. The force of that punch alone would be enough to seriously wound a powerful half-step Nirvana expert. If the target were unlucky, it could even result in instant death. A foe like Ling Lie wouldn't stand a chance against this new version of the puppet.
The puppet had truly become an incredible killing weapon—a "demonic puppet" of overwhelming strength, thanks to the infusion of demonic energy.
"Now, aside from that tiger-like brute of the imperial family, I should have little to fear in the Great Yan Dynasty," Lin Langtian murmured with a smile.
