Chapter 838
Subduing the Golden Puppet
"Dragon and Tiger Miniature World?"
Emperor Qian looked at the urgent report and glanced up at the Eternal Heaven not far away.
During this period, Changshengtian remained in the Great Qian Dynasty, plotting with him how to capture Su Mu alive.
When the report arrived, Emperor Qian did not avoid the other party.
"It really is a turbulent time. The Dragon Tiger Small World has been free of trouble for many years, but it has suddenly become chaotic at this time."
Emperor Qian said slowly, "But this has reminded me."
"Eternal Heaven, if we can find the Dragon-Tiger Treasure within the Dragon-Tiger Small World, our chances of capturing Su Mu alive will be much greater."
What is the Dragon and Tiger Treasure?
The Eternal Heaven asked the question.
Although he had lived eight lifetimes, he mostly stayed in the Great Luo Heaven and did not interact with outsiders, so he did not know what the Dragon Tiger Small World was.
They were even less aware of the legend of the Dragon and Tiger Treasure.
Emperor Qian briefly introduced the legend of the Dragon and Tiger Treasure.
"With our current cultivation levels, even if we obtain this Dragon Tiger Treasure, what good will it do?"
We do not lack cultivation resources.
However, simply having cultivation resources is no longer enough to improve our strength.
"If we want to capture Su Mu alive, we need real combat power."
Chang Sheng Tian said with a frown.
Both he and Emperor Qian had already passed the stage of worrying about cultivation resources.
Not to mention the Great Qian Dynasty, even its Great Luo Heaven has a profound foundation.
He didn't care about the Dragon and Tiger Treasure at all.
Those treasures couldn't help him live to a ripe old age.
"That's a bad word."
Emperor Qian shook his head and said, "Ordinary treasures are naturally useless to us, but the Dragon and Tiger Treasure is not."
Back then, a powerful expert at the Primordial Realm emerged from the Dragon Tiger Small World. In order to sever the martial veins of the Dragon Tiger Small World, he collected all the rare and precious materials in the Dragon Tiger Small World and used them to refine twelve golden puppets.
Each of these twelve golden puppets possesses the strength of the peak of the Dao Realm.
If we can subdue these twelve golden puppets, it will be equivalent to having twelve invincible helpers.
Because those twelve golden puppets weren't living people, the power they could unleash could even reach the level of a half-step Primordial Realm expert!
Emperor Qian ruled the world, and he knew more information than Lu Yin, the former patriarch of the Yanfu Sect.
Especially now, the urgent report he received mentioned that the Twelve Golden Men in the Dragon Tiger Small World had been revived.
"Moreover, Su Mu is currently in the Dragon Tiger Small World, where he is attempting to seize the Twelve Golden Men."
Emperor Qian paused for a moment, then spoke slowly.
Chang Shengtian's expression changed.
Twelve golden puppets whose strength has reached the peak of the Dao Realm!
Once Su Mu gets his hands on it, they will have absolutely no hope of defeating him.
"What are we waiting for! Let's go, we absolutely can't let him succeed!"
"The Eternal Heaven said impatiently."
…………
Dragon and Tiger Mini World.
More and more native warriors joined the battle.
As the saying goes, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken.
The twelve golden figures indiscriminately slaughtered the native warriors, and no one was able to escape unscathed.
They couldn't even escape the Dragon Tiger World.
The only way out of the Dragon Tiger Small World is in the hands of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Now, that exit is blocked by a golden statue.
They were forced to participate in the war.
Because of Lu Yin's help, they came to believe in him.
Led by Lu Yin, they followed Su Mu's instructions and gathered in different places in the Dragon Tiger Small World.
All the martial artists channeled their power into the ground.
Those streams of power flowed into the earth's veins, and then converged onto Su Mu's body along with the earth's veins.
Su Mu let out a long howl, and his body seemed to become transparent, revealing a golden skeleton.
It wasn't because his body had become transparent, but because the light emanating from the golden skeleton inside him was so dazzling that even his muscles and skin couldn't conceal it.
boom!
Su Mu's aura rose steadily.
Lu Yin looked on in shock.
The aura emanating from Su Mu was just like that of a true Primordial Realm expert, making Su Mu feel a sense of trembling throughout his body.
Su Mu actually used the Heaven-Spanning Formation to gather everyone's power into himself.
What kind of powerful physique must it take to withstand such force?
Lu Yin himself was a pseudo-Primordial Realm expert, and he knew very well what this meant.
The strength of a single native martial artist in the Dragon Tiger Small World may not be that great, but when their numbers reach a certain level, even a small stream can converge into a great river.
That power was enough to burst apart an ordinary Dao Realm expert.
Even he wouldn't dare say he could withstand such a great force.
More strength is not necessarily better; often, it depends on whether you can withstand the pressure.
Lu Yin could even imagine that Su Mu was currently under unimaginable pressure, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him.
Rumble!
Amidst the deafening roar, Su Mu unleashed the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist.
The violent power unleashed sent the two golden figures flying.
Immediately afterwards, Su Mu changed his hand seals, and white light ropes shot out from the earth veins, instantly binding the two golden figures into mummies.
They struggled desperately, but could not break free.
With two golden statues gone, Su Mu's expression clearly showed relief.
Facing several golden statues at the same time was also an unbearable task for him.
If it weren't for the help of the native warriors, he really wouldn't have been able to trap these two golden figures.
No sooner said than done.
Before Su Mu could rest, the remaining golden men pounced on him.
These golden figures have no intelligence; they are not afraid of pain, death, or even fatigue.
Their sole purpose is to wipe out all the martial artists within the Dragon Tiger Small World.
Even with two companions trapped, the remaining golden men strictly carried out their mission.
Su Mu's aura was the most conspicuous, so they made him their target.
Ten golden figures suddenly charged towards Su Mu.
Lu Yin, along with the surviving powerhouses of the Great Qian Dynasty, were all stunned for a moment.
However, they quickly realized what was happening.
Lu Yin looked worried, while the surviving experts of the Great Qian Dynasty rushed towards the entrance and exit of the Dragon-Tiger Small World with the excitement of surviving a calamity.
All they want now is to escape the Dragon Tiger World.
Just as the surviving powerhouses of the Great Qian Dynasty rushed to the entrance of the Dragon-Tiger Small World, two figures suddenly walked in from outside the Dragon-Tiger Small World.
The two sides collided head-on.
A powerful force instantly blocked everyone back.
"His Majesty--"
The expressions of all the warriors from the Great Qian Dynasty changed drastically.
Standing before them was none other than the Supreme Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty!
Emperor Qian's face darkened as he looked at the disheveled crowd.
"Desertion in the face of battle is punishable by death according to the law."
Emperor Qian said coldly, "However, I have pardoned you this time. All of you, stay put and behave yourselves. Anyone who dares to retreat even half a step will be killed without mercy, and their entire family will be exterminated!"
His voice was calm, and the warriors of the Great Qian Dynasty fell silent, standing obediently to one side, and not one of them dared to run away.
This is the power and influence of Emperor Qian.
As Emperor Qian and Changsheng Tian stepped into the Dragon-Tiger Small World, they looked up and saw Su Mu being besieged by ten golden figures.
They exchanged a glance and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
If Su Mu were beaten half to death, wouldn't they be able to reap the benefits?
"Do not act rashly."
Emperor Qian said in a deep voice, "These golden men are mindless. Once we make a move, they will attack us."
That would actually help Su Mu take on the pressure.
As Emperor Qian spoke, his aura instantly subsided, and at first glance, he appeared to have become an ordinary person.
Chang Sheng Tian understood and quickly concealed his aura.
These golden figures only attack martial artists; whoever has the strongest aura will be the first to be attacked.
Su Mu is now like a sun, eclipsing everyone else.
Emperor Qian looked around and saw that the native warriors of the Dragon Tiger Small World were continuously lending their power to Su Mu. A look of surprise flashed across his face.
With his cultivation level and insight, he could naturally tell what had happened.
That's why he was somewhat surprised, because he could tell.
The Dragon and Tiger World is a world under the rule of his Great Qian Dynasty.
Why would these people help Su Mu?
When did Su Mu become so familiar with these people?
If they didn't trust Su Mu, these people would never have lent him their power.
This is the will of the people.
If it weren't for the threat of those twelve golden figures, Su Mu could have easily conquered this Dragon-Tiger Small World based solely on the support of the people. Even he himself hadn't won the hearts of these native martial artists in the small world he ruled; what gave Su Mu the confidence to do so?
Emperor Qian was both jealous and furious.
"I will never allow anyone to be more popular with the people than I am on my territory!"
Emperor Qian sneered inwardly, "I will not allow such an awesome person to exist!"
"Su Mu, you're dead today!"
A cold smile appeared on his lips.
Even with the help of the native martial artists of the Dragon Tiger Small World, Su Mu was still defeated by the ten golden men.
They wouldn't even need to lift a finger; Su Mu would be crippled by these Jurchens.
They could easily reap the benefits without lifting a finger!
"Emperor Qian, isn't this your territory? Why are those people helping Su Mu?"
"Why bring up something you shouldn't have said?" Chang Sheng Tian asked in a low voice.
Emperor Qian's face darkened. How did he know why?
Su Mu is surprisingly good at winning people over!
“These native martial artists from the Dragon Tiger Small World have limited vision; perhaps they were fooled by Su Mu.”
Emperor Qian said in a deep voice, "You few, go and warn those martial artists that anyone who dares to support Su Mu again will be executed without mercy."
Emperor Qian casually summoned a few people and gave them instructions.
Su Mu is barely holding on even with the help of so many people. Once he loses their assistance, he will surely be utterly defeated when facing the Twelve Golden Men.
Emperor Qian sneered inwardly.
Although he couldn't directly take action, as long as he weakened Su Mu's strength, those golden men would naturally take care of Su Mu for him.
Several figures flew in all directions.
Lu Yin naturally noticed these things as well.
He snorted coldly, and in a flash, he was already in front of Emperor Qian and Changshengtian.
He released his aura without any restraint.
"If you want to harm Su Mu, you'll have to ask me first!"
Lu Yin shouted, raising his hand to unleash two attacks simultaneously at Emperor Qian and Changshengtian.
Emperor Qian and Changshengtian's expressions turned cold, and they raised their hands to retaliate.
Once they made their move, the aura of top-tier experts could no longer be concealed.
This aura immediately attracted the attention of the golden puppets.
Three of the ten golden figures that were originally besieging Su Mu immediately separated and attacked the three of them.
The principle of these twelve golden men is to slaughter warriors from the strong to the weak.
The stronger the martial artist, the higher their priority for slaughter.
Whether it's Lu Yin, Emperor Qian, or Changsheng Tian, they are all among the strongest in their time.
Their priority with the Golden Golem was naturally the highest.
Emperor Qian and the Eternal Heaven looked grim.
They only wanted these golden men to bully Su Mu, but they didn't want to suffer the consequences themselves.
But there is no way.
With Lu Yin causing such trouble, it was no longer possible for them to stand idly by.
The three exchanged a move, then separated, with each person facing off against a golden statue.
Upon engaging in this battle, Changshengtian immediately realized the power of the Golden Puppet.
Emperor Qian was right. If such a powerful golden puppet could be brought under our control, defeating Su Mu would be no problem!
Didn't you see that Su Mu was just besieged by ten golden puppets and was beaten almost without any power to fight back?
However, these golden puppets would be excellent as allies, but if they were enemies, they could be quite troublesome.
They are as strong as steel and are not afraid of being hurt at all.
"Emperor Qian, how can we subdue these golden puppet figures?"
Changshengtian asked Emperor Qian.
He stood on the golden puppet and slashed a deep gash in it, but the puppet was not made of flesh and blood.
Not only did the knife not bleed, but the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
How do we fight this?
Do we have to shred them to kill them?
The problem is, there's no benefit in killing them.
He also wanted to subdue these golden puppets and use them to deal with Su Mu.
"You deal with him first, and I'll test the waters."
Emperor Qian said.
He didn't know how these golden puppets were made, nor how to subdue them.
…………
With the three golden puppets no longer attacking, Su Mu's pressure was greatly reduced.
But then he felt the power flowing continuously from the great formation beneath his feet suddenly stop.
Clearly, the native martial artists of the Dragon Tiger Small World were intimidated by the people of the Great Qian Dynasty and dared not continue to lend their power to Su Mu.
In an instant, Su Mu's strength was also greatly reduced.
Caught off guard, he was struck in the chest by a golden puppet, and his body flew out like a kite with a broken string, landing right next to the two golden puppets that he had trapped with the Great Array.
Su Mu glanced at the pursuing golden puppet and a thought struck him.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
Strands of white light instantly wrapped around him, forming a giant cocoon.
The pursuing golden man crashed into the silkworm cocoon and was actually bounced back and sent flying.
After standing up again, the golden puppet lost Su Mu's presence.
He looked around blankly, then locked his gaze on the warriors of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Clang.
With a metallic clang, the golden puppet charged forward.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yin burst into laughter.
The Qian Emperor and the Eternal Heaven were dreaming if they thought they could scheme against Su Mu.
Now they've shot themselves in the foot.
The reason Su Mu was besieged by so many golden puppets was not because he couldn't escape.
Su Mu did that to rescue the native martial artists of the Dragon Tiger Small World.
Otherwise, he could come and go as he pleased, so why would he be entangled by this golden puppet?
Now that you two insist on getting involved, does Su Mu intend to fight to the bitter end if he doesn't leave?
Seeing that Su Mu had gotten rid of the golden puppet, Lu Yin was no longer worried.
He fought and retreated, heading towards the exit of the Dragon Tiger Small World.
Now that Emperor Qian and Changshengtian have arrived, the life and death of the native martial artists of the Dragon Tiger Small World is no longer his concern.
He can be soft-hearted, but he's not one to get entangled in complicated situations.
That's all he could do to help those native warriors.
Seeing Su Mu's aura disappear and Lu Yin about to flee, Emperor Qian and Changsheng Tian were furious.
"Seal off the Dragon-Tiger Small World! Not a single one can leave!"
Emperor Qian let out a long roar and shouted angrily.
Although they were slaughtered by the Golden Puppet, a complete army is stationed in this Dragon Tiger Small World, and many powerful individuals have survived.
Upon hearing Emperor Qian's order, the powerful figures took action and sealed off the entrances and exits of the Dragon-Tiger Small World.
…………
Inside the cocoon made of white light.
Su Mu placed one hand on the head of a golden puppet.
The golden puppet was bound by the white light like a mummy, struggling desperately but unable to break free.
When Su Mu's palm landed on the top of the opponent's head, a force surged into the golden puppet's body.
The complete structure of the golden puppet instantly appeared in Su Mu's mind.
An endless stream of information surged into Su Mu's mind, and he seemed to see the entire process of the golden puppet being forged.
He also saw the dense runes inside the golden puppet's body, which resembled the meridians in the human body.
Those runes were so complex that even a glance at them would make an ordinary person dizzy.
But Su Mu is one of the best weapon-making masters in the world, and also one of the best formation masters.
He focused intently on observing the runes, rapidly deducing their changes in his mind.
His calculation speed has reached an incredible level.
This golden puppet doesn't look very big, but its complexity even surpasses that of the Great Luo Heaven's Luo Tian Formation.
Even Su Mu would find it difficult to condense countless changes into such a puppet.
However, Su Mu did not intend to research the golden puppet from scratch; he simply wanted to decipher something that already existed.
The two are not comparable in difficulty.
It would probably take him over a hundred years to create a golden puppet.
However, breaking the existing golden puppet is not too difficult for him, although it is challenging.
Su Mu's mind raced, performing incredibly complex calculations.
suddenly.
A flash of inspiration struck him, and a divine light shone in his eyes.
"I see."
He muttered to himself.
The next moment, power surged within him.
The golden puppet suddenly opened its eyes, and the originally scarlet eyes instantly lost their redness, becoming clear and transparent.
Su Mu waved his hand, releasing him from his restraints.
The golden puppet leaped up, but instead of attacking Su Mu, it stood before him, hands at its sides, awaiting his command. (End of Chapter)
