Chapter 367: Dismantled
A purple-colored Sky Demon Puppet!
Unlike Xiao Yi Xian and the others who were puzzled, Xiao Ming wasn't particularly surprised by its appearance.
According to the usual classification, Sky Demon Puppets were divided into three levels: Heaven, Earth, and Human.
The Human-level puppets were bronze-colored, ranging from one-star to four-star Dou Ancestors. The Earth-level puppets were silver-colored, ranging from five-star to nine-star Dou Ancestors. And the highest-level Sky Demon Puppets were generally golden, ranging from one-star to five-star Dou Venerates.
Of course, nothing was absolute. The classification of Sky Demon Puppets was based on the materials used. If the puppet's materials were of superior quality or had undergone sufficient lightning refinement, then purple-colored puppets could be created on top of the golden ones. And if a Dou Saint's corpse was used for refinement, black-colored puppets could be created.
The appearance of the purple Sky Demon Puppet was due to Xiao Ming using the formation he obtained from the remains to gather the energy of all the Sky Demon Puppets into one, enabling it to break through its own limitations. Xiao Ming roughly estimated that its strength should be above nine-star Dou Venerate, but he couldn't determine the exact stage.
However, it didn't matter if Xiao Ming didn't know the exact strength of the purple Sky Demon Puppet. Wasn't there a test subject right in front of him? Or rather, the purple-colored Sky Demon Puppet was specifically prepared for the Dou Saint skeleton.
Xiao Ming silently manipulated the actions of the purple-colored Sky Demon Puppet.
The statue-like Sky Demon Puppet before him suddenly opened its eyes, and a dark golden light slowly circulated within them. Its body trembled, took a slow step forward, and in the next moment, the puppet transformed into a purple light, colliding violently with the transparent spatial barrier in a stunning manner.
Boom!
The collision created a terrifying gust of wind, and the resulting explosion echoed throughout the entire area!
Crack!
As the powerful gusts overflowed, fine cracks began to appear on the transparent spatial barrier. With the cracks spreading, the barrier eventually shattered with a loud crack!
Bang! Bang!
The Sky Demon Puppet and the spatial barrier collided fiercely, causing the puppet to stagger back several steps. Each step left black footprints on the ground. But as the puppet's final step landed, it shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, rushing toward the Dou Saint skeleton and delivering a forceful punch!
Medusa, Zi Yan and the others nodded slightly upon hearing his words.
As for Xiao Ming, he wasn't thinking about the terror of that attack. He was concerned about whether his purple-colored Sky Demon Puppet could survive!
With the puppet having absorbed the energy of twenty-seven Sky Demon Puppets, any damage to it would result in severe losses, regardless of obtaining the Dou Venerate skeleton.
After the black light circle completely obliterated the hall, it extended about three meters further before gradually dissipating.
As the black light circle vanished, a massive abyss, roughly six hundred meters in size, emerged before their eyes.
Xiao Ming's gaze fixated on the enormous abyss, where a jade-white skeleton floated suspended. On the other side of the abyss, the purple-colored Sky Demon Puppet had lost an arm and was covered in cracks.
"Phew~ It's fortunate that it didn't break completely!" Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the purple-colored Sky Demon Puppet had only lost an arm and sustained cracks.
While the puppet was damaged, its energy remained intact. As long as the energy was still present, Xiao Ming could replace it with another Sky Demon Puppet as the vanguard and create a new purple-colored puppet. Essentially, he had only lost one Sky Demon Puppet.
With this in mind, Xiao Ming released the Sky Demon Puppets he had brought with him during their escape and transferred the energy of the purple puppet back into them.
Soon, the energy of the twenty-six Sky Demon Puppets was restored to its original power, albeit slightly weaker. Unfortunately, the energy contained in the lost arm had dispersed, making it impossible to recover.
Zi Yan and the others were astonished that the purple-colored Sky Demon Puppet had survived the attack. However, this could be attributed to the fact that the Dou Saint skeleton was hastily dealing with the situation and had not fully awakened.
The purple-colored puppet, now devoid of energy, gradually returned to its golden color and was collected by Xiao Ming.
At that moment, Zi Yan eagerly suggested, "Xiao Ming, shall I go and pick up those bones?"
"Let the puppets handle it," Xiao Ming shook his head. Who knew if the Dou Saint skeleton had any other tricks up its sleeve?
As Xiao Ming spoke, the seven deepest-colored Sky Demon Puppets stepped forward, each engaging in various pulling actions to dismantle the Dou Saint skeleton.
With the relentless efforts of the Sky Demon Puppets, the Dou Saint skeleton was directly dismantled.
