Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 3443: Learning, Trying, Understanding

The puppet’s power was beyond imagination. Lin Moyu knew this puppet was very powerful when observing the formation, but he didn’t expect it to be this strong.

Even though it had lost its head and one arm, and the divine rune formation controlling it was damaged by more than half, its power had weakened by at least half.

But looking at it now, it still possessed peak ninth-level Dao Venerable combat power.

“Could it be that at its peak, it could rival a Great Dao realm being?”

“If that’s true, the technology in puppet refining in prehistoric times is beyond imagination!”

Puppets can also be considered a part of artifact refining. Most modern artifact refiners can also make puppets.

But at most they can only create third-level Dao Venerable puppets. Even fourth-level Dao Venerable puppets are difficult to refine.

Compared to the puppet before him, the difference was countless miles.

Hell fiends pounced from all directions, all cut to pieces by the puppet. The puppet moved incredibly fast, wielding a large blade made of unknown material, dancing so densely that the hell fiends could hardly approach.

In an instant…

The Spider Lilies swayed non-stop, scattering tens of thousands of blue lights, but the puppet had no reaction in the blue light. Its power, reactions, and speed didn’t weaken at all.

The Spider Lilies’ weakening effect was ineffective, which also surprised Lin Moyu. It was the first time he had seen the Spider Lilies fail.

Lin Moyu observed the changes in the puppet. Above the puppet, the divine rune formation continued to operate, shining brightly in the world of Skeleton Hell.

The divine rune formation scattered light, forming a barrier that isolated the power of the Spider Lilies.

“This divine rune formation is the source of the puppet’s power. At the same time, it also protects the puppet. Originally it shouldn’t have been revealed, but because it’s broken, it’s now visible.”

Accompanied by a dragon’s roar, Black Hell rushed out from the Netherworld Black Pool, opening its mouth to bite at the puppet.

The puppet swung its large blade and battled with Black Hell.

Black Hell bit frantically, its sharp teeth serving as both weapon and shield. Black Hell used its teeth and dragon scales to hard-block the puppet’s attacks.

The puppet was too agile, its speed as fast as lightning. Even Black Hell found it difficult to catch.

The two seemed evenly matched, but the hell fiends rushing over were still being slaughtered by the large blade.

Lin Moyu had a thought. Su Pu rushed out from beside him to join the battle, while the hell fiends quickly retreated. They couldn’t participate in this fight.

Su Pu and Black Hell joined forces to deal with the puppet, gradually suppressing it.

Black Hell bit down on the puppet, making a harsh sound. The puppet was incredibly solid; Black Hell couldn’t bite through with one bite.

Su Pu stabbed the Cloud-Piercing Sword into the puppet, but the Cloud-Piercing Sword was also repelled. The puppet’s body glowed with golden light, its defense power astonishingly strong.

The puppet’s powerful defense also came from the divine rune formation.

Lin Moyu looked at the divine rune formation. “It seems we still need to start with the formation. Trying to defeat the puppet with brute force seems a bit lacking.”

It wasn’t impossible to defeat the puppet with brute force, but it would require at least pseudo-Great Dao realm combat power. Neither Black Hell nor Su Pu were quite there yet.

Fortunately, they could suppress the puppet, buying time for Lin Moyu to break the divine rune formation.

“Although this divine rune formation is already more than half destroyed, it can still operate normally. The main reason is that the core divine runes are still intact.”

“The remaining divine runes continue to provide the puppet with considerable power and defense. So I either need to control this formation or weaken it in reverse.”

Lin Moyu carefully observed, his mind racing, simulating various possibilities.

After a moment, Lin Moyu made a decision. This divine rune formation was of an extremely high level, already beyond his ability range.

Trying to control this formation was impossible. He could only think of ways to weaken it from the side.

As long as he could weaken the formation, he could weaken the puppet.

Doing it this way would be a bit simpler.

Having made a decision, Lin Moyu began to draw divine runes. One by one, divine runes flew out and merged into the formation.

With his previous experience, Lin Moyu’s understanding of divine runes had deepened. The divine runes he drew merged into the divine rune formation without any problems.

These divine runes made the entire formation’s operation less smooth. The puppet’s power and speed immediately slowed down.

The divine runes Lin Moyu drew were all opposite to those in the divine rune formation. However, the quality of Lin Moyu’s divine runes wasn’t very good, and their level wasn’t high enough. They could only restrict part of it, and couldn’t last long.

Black Hell and Su Pu seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the puppet.

The powerful battle aftershocks forced Lin Moyu to retreat some distance.

Nine Heavens Peak’s formation continued to operate, absorbing the aftershocks cleanly, making the area affected by the battle extremely small, barely exceeding a hundred meters.

Lin Moyu’s divine runes took effect. The golden light on the puppet’s body began to gradually weaken, and Black Hell and Su Pu’s attacks began to have an effect on it.

Before long, they would be able to kill the puppet.

At this time, Lin Moyu looked at Nine Heavens Peak’s formation. “All the battle aftershocks are being absorbed by the formation. Earlier outside, the formation was also absorbing power. Now inside Nine Heavens Peak, the formation is still absorbing power.”

“What is it doing with all this absorbed power? It’s really strange!”

Lin Moyu didn’t quite understand this approach, but since the formation was doing this, there must be a reason.

The person who set up this formation back then was very skilled. Some of their ideas were beyond what he could imagine.

The puppet was finally defeated under the joint attack of Black Hell and Su Pu, turning into a pile of fragments on the ground.

The hell fiends all pounced over, beginning to feast.

The materials used to refine the puppet were all top-tier, great supplements for Skeleton Hell.

The divine rune formation disturbed by Lin Moyu gradually disappeared. It no longer had a puppet to control, so it lost its function.

Lin Moyu looked up at the path behind the puppet. There used to be many battle traces here. The mountain path had been beaten beyond recognition.

There should have been many puppets here before. The vast majority were destroyed in battle, leaving only this broken one at the end.

Putting away Su Pu and Skeleton Hell, Lin Moyu continued upwards, summarizing his previous experiences at the same time.

Each use of divine runes was an opportunity for self-improvement. Learning, trying, summarizing – Lin Moyu’s understanding of divine runes continuously improved.

There were many paths upward, constantly forking, but only one path led to the peak. If one took the wrong path, they wouldn’t reach the peak but end up somewhere else.

Through observing the formation, Lin Moyu knew that Nine Heavens Peak’s structure was extremely complex, like an ant nest. If one couldn’t find the correct path, it would be like entering a maze.

Lin Moyu changed directions again and again, choosing the correct path.

As for the light strips overhead, he didn’t choose them.

Fortunately, the road ahead was quite peaceful. He didn’t encounter any more troubles. Lin Moyu was getting closer and closer to the mountaintop.

The mist around him gradually became thicker. Lin Moyu knew he had entered the cloud layer.

Nine Heavens Peak was too high, with a large part hidden in the clouds.

Suddenly, an enormous power came from not far away. Howling winds blew, dispersing the mist.

Lin Moyu’s body was also blown back.

Lin Moyu saw that just over two hundred meters away, an eighth-level elder was standing there.

He seemed to have just experienced a battle. In his hand, he held an obviously broken treasure.

The eighth-level elder’s face clearly showed joy. Evidently, this treasure was quite good.

After putting away the treasure, he looked towards Lin Moyu, his face showing slight emotion. “Son of Yin!”
