"A Heaven Fate Realm puppet?" Kong Hyun-hui gasped in shock.
"No!"
Immediately, however, Qin Shi's expression turned grave as he stared fixedly at the puppet. Even though the puppet was extremely powerful, he was unable to sense even the slightest bit of Spiritual Energy from it. The power that allowed it to possess such powerful attacks should be … Spiritual Force?
"It's not the Heaven Fate Realm, it's soul force!"
"Soul force?" Kong Xianhui frowned and shouted, "Don't tell me, don't tell me it's the Curse realm?"
"Curse Realm?"
"Yes, the Curse Realm is the opposite of the Heaven Fate Realm. It's a higher realm than the Nine Curses Rune Master …!" Kong Hyun-hui's face was filled with fear. She hadn't even faced the Heaven Fate Realm before.
"There's such a realm?" Qin Shi's teeth were chattering.
He only knew that there were Heaven Fate Realm and Domain Realm above the Nine Heavens Realm, but he knew nothing about soul force aside from the Nine Curses Runes.
But then again, it made sense. After all, spiritual energy and soul force were the two great forces of heaven and earth. They should be the opposite of Yin and Yang. But it was a nightmare to encounter the Curse Realm.
"This is troublesome."
In some cases, the Curse realm was even more troublesome than the Heaven realm, especially in the Void Cavern. The puppet was not affected by the Soul Wind Blades at all. Instead, it was able to maneuver through the Soul Wind Blades with ease. It could even control these Wind Blades.
Qin Shi felt anxious under the pressure of the giant puppet.
"Qin Shi, what should we do?" Kong Hyun-hui asked in a low voice.
Qin Shi frowned slightly. "We have already come this far. If we retreat, all our previous efforts will be in vain. Furthermore, even if we retreat, we have nowhere else to go. We can only take a gamble. If we enter the stone door, we might have a chance." Qin Shi frowned slightly.
"How do we do that?" Kong Hyun-hui asked without confidence.
Qin Shi gritted his teeth. "Xian Hui, can you restrain it?"
"Restrain it?"
Kong Hyun-hui deliberated for a while. She held the Mysterious Left Tilt on her chest with one hand and the emerald in the other, "Let me try."
"You restrain him, and I'll attack from behind. If I'm not wrong, even if you cut off all four of his limbs, he'll still be able to attack you. Only by smashing his head will he be able to stop."
Qin Shi speculated. Of course, his speculation was not unreasonable. After all, he had once possessed a Blood Puppet King, and the Blood Puppet King had saved him several times.
"Roar!"
While the two of them were discussing, the giant puppet let out a furious roar. It stamped its feet, causing the cave to tremble. Then, it proved to the two that it was nimble, completely unaffected by the giant puppet's body. It moved like a bolt of lightning, and with a single stride, it arrived before the two of them, its fists smashing down like a small mountain.
Under the pressure of the hurricane, Qin Shi and Li Yundong immediately became serious.
"Now's the time!"
Qin Shi suddenly roared. He combined his palm force with the rubbing force to send Kong Hyun-hui away, and rolled a few times to the right, barely dodging the giant fist.
Boom!
The giant fist fell, and a big hole was immediately opened in the cave.
Kong Hyun-hui's jade-like body flickered a few times, and she took the opportunity to remove the seal on the Mysterious Left Tilt. Eight days of cultivation had caused her aura to change greatly. The emerald in her other hand was thrown up high, forming a giant millstone, trapping the giant puppet from high up in the sky.
"Qin Shi, quick!"
Qin Shi nodded without hesitation, and rushed to the back of the puppet's head. That head was ten times bigger than him, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Was it really not that big?
Why did a puppet have to be so big?
Didn't it know that the essence was concentrated?
He couldn't help but curse in his heart, but his hands didn't slack off. Two completely different hand seals quickly flipped, and immediately formed a section on Qin Shi's chest.
"Sky Devouring Dragon Roar!"
Three thousand dragon balls burst out, and hit the puppet's head like raindrops.
"Roar — —!" The puppet roared angrily, and stared at Qin Shi furiously.
"Can't I?"
Qin Shi's expression darkened, and immediately stretched out his right hand, and flicked the soul wind blade three times, and three different colored flames were ignited.
"True · Three Souls Set Heaven and Earth!"
Qin Shi attacked again. A crack appeared in the space beneath the three flames. Then, a hundred-meter-tall pillar shot out. It reached the heavens and shook the earth, shaking the universe.
Boom!
The Sky Supporting Pillar hit the back of the puppet's head, and then the puppet staggered two steps forward. Qin Shi quickly retreated, and returned to Kong Hyun-hui's side.
"Did it work?" The two of them snorted nervously.
Unexpectedly, just a moment later, a scene that made their hearts sink to the bottom appeared. The giant puppet's body shook a few times, and suddenly disappeared from its original position.
When the puppet appeared again, it was already behind Qin Shi and Kong Hyun-hui.
Boom!
With a forceful punch, Qin Shi suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He pushed Kong Hyun-hui away without hesitation, and flipped over, and was completely hit by the puppet.
Rumble!
Qin Shi was directly sent flying, and his body was torn by the soul wind blade, and hundreds of wounds appeared on his body, dyeing the ground red.
"Qin Shi!" Kong Hyun-hui cried out involuntarily.
The Mantra realm was too strong, and it was not something the two of them could contend against. Kong Hyun-hui's delicate body went limp on the ground.
But under such despair, her jade-like eyes met Qin Shi's, and suddenly, she saw a hint of ruthlessness and determination in Qin Shi's eyes. Under such pressure, he was actually still persevering?
"My life was given by my brother, and even that old dog Chu Deyu couldn't take it away. If I die in the hands of a big guy like you, I won't have the face to see him!" Qin Shi flipped over, and although his body was covered in blood, his eyes were still flickering with brilliance.
"Buddhist Pagodas as One!"
Qin Shi pinned his final hope on the Xuantian Sacred Scripture. He felt that under such circumstances, only this martial art could bring him a miracle.
"I must succeed!"
The golden pagoda flickered with patterns, and it looked so ancient.
Boom!
With an all-out attack, it struck on the head of the puppet again. After the attack, Qin Shi didn't stop. He formed another hand seal and struck another golden pagoda. After striking three golden pagoda consecutively, Qin Shi's soul power had already reached the limit.
"Break for me!"
But expectations were always good, and reality was always cruel. Fate didn't favor Qin Shi because of his determination. Under the Mantra realm, his strength was too weak.
"Can't I?"
"Can I really not leave this place?"
Qin Shi was unwilling to give up. He suddenly stood at his original position and took a deep breath, allowing the warm air to enter his stomach, calming his originally impatient emotions.
"No, this is definitely not my final destination."
He was unprecedentedly calm, and his mind was rapidly thinking about how he could get out of this dangerous situation.
But now, the trump cards in his hands were clearly not enough to deal with this giant puppet. If he wanted to survive under this puppet's pressure, there was only one way, and that was to break through, improve, and become stronger.
"Xuantian Sacred Scripture, level six."
His black eyes flickered, and he had a bold idea, which was to take the initiative to open the sixth level of the Xuantian Sacred Scripture.
Ever since the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation entered his sea of consciousness under the Passionless Cliff, the first five levels of the Xuantian Sacred Scripture were all given to him by the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation. This time, he was prepared to overturn this norm.
"Phew …!"
As though he had forgotten himself, he closed his eyes indifferently. Seeing his actions, Kong Hyun-hui couldn't help but be astonished.
"Could it be that … he has given up?"
Kong Hyun-hui's expression changed slightly, but she quickly banished this thought from her mind. Based on her understanding of Qin Shi, the latter definitely wouldn't resign himself to fate.
He must be preparing something, and all she could do was to cheer him on.
"You must succeed."
Kong Hyun-hui clenched her fists tightly as she shouted.
Qin Shi allowed the puppets to force him, and a barrier seemed to form around him, blocking everything from the outside world. It was as though he had sunk into the deep sea.
In front of the sea, there was a huge door. He pushed the door open, and behind the door was his heart. He was fully focused on looking at himself.
His telekinesis spiraled into his sea of consciousness, and he looked at the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation in the center. He floated in front of the ancient formation. In front of the ancient formation, he was so tiny, but his eyes were so determined.
"Leave it to me."
He gently extended his hand, and his slender fingers gently touched the ancient formation.
On the outer layer of the ancient formation, there were layers of dazzling golden patterns. These patterns were full of mystery, and when Qin Shi touched the golden patterns gently, a refreshing feeling instantly invigorated him.
Boom!
In the center of the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation, an illusory tunnel suddenly opened. The tunnel had no end, and from time to time, there would be crackling lights flashing in the middle. It was like a killing machine, and it was very frightening.
Qin Shi's telekinesis was indifferent, and he fell deep into the tunnel.
Suddenly, that heart-wrenching pain spread throughout Qin Shi's body. From the outside, Qin Shi was shining brightly. His skin turned from purple to gold, and then from gold to blood. It was very shocking.
"Argh!"
He groaned in pain.
But he did not give up. "This little bit of pain is nothing to me."
He fell into the tunnel, which was very long. Qin Shi felt as though he had experienced tens of thousands of years, and he was gradually abandoned by time.
"Buzz!"
Amidst this endless torment, a golden light suddenly appeared in Qin Shi's vision. He had finally entered the depths of the Ancient Profound Heaven Formation. Inside, the sky was filled with runes of light. His Soul Strength was thousands of times stronger than outside.
Suddenly, the light patterns seemed to have gone crazy, and like a fierce flood, they poured into Qin Shi's mind.
"Buzz!"
Another painful groan, and a line of Sanskrit words appeared. Qin Shi's eyes finally flashed with golden light.
Whoosh!
At the same time, the puppet swung its giant fist, and even the soul wind blades in the Living Void Hole were pierced by it, and ferociously pierced towards Qin Shi.
From afar, Kong Hyun-hui's jade-like face paled. "Qin Shi!"
"Buzz!"
There was another buzzing sound. When the fist wind was an inch away from Qin Shi's face, Qin Shi suddenly opened his eyes, as though he had planned this. When he opened his eyes again, there was no longer any black in them, and they had long been replaced by golden light.
The corner of his mouth suddenly curled up, and he smiled gently. He spread his fingers and pointed directly at the puppet.
