Chapter 60 Obsession

Swish!

As the silver puppet was activated, a wave of Deity Transformation power, intertwined with silver and gold, rippled outward like water.

Though it looked harmless, touch meant instant death, and contact meant certain doom!

The majority of the Vajra Sect members were killed or injured in an instant! Bizarrely, all their life force upon death was drawn into this wave of Deity Transformation power, making it even stronger!

Boom!

This ripple of Deity Transformation power expanded to the edges, causing the entire prison-like domain to tremble!

In some unseen spatial dimension, a figure in black was startled, hurriedly employing reinforcement techniques while flickering and vanishing in a blur!

"You old bastard! Don't push your luck too far!"

In the blink of an eye, the Master of the Vajra Sect was driven into a corner by this surge of Deity Transformation power, a mixture of shock and fury on his face. "I have already let you have the puppet. If you still don't know when to stop, don't blame me if we both go down together!"

"Ha, the fish will certainly die, but the net won't necessarily break!" The triumphant, booming laughter of the Vajra Sect Master echoed from within the silver puppet, as an even more overwhelming force of Deity Transformation erupted, clearly intent on showing no mercy!

"You! Don't push me!" The Master of the Heavenly Emperor Sect had one of his arms shredded into a bloody mess within moments, a frantic madness in his eyes.

"And what if I do? Your flesh and blood are just right for me to refine the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body. Hand them over!"

The disdainful voice of the Vajra Sect Master rang out from the silver puppet, conjuring a pair of massive Deity Transformation hands intent on tearing the Heavenly Emperor Sect Master directly in half!

"You forced me into this!" Enraged to the point of madness, the Heavenly Emperor Sect Master abruptly sacrificed the remaining disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, channeling their life force in his frenzied state to forcefully summon an "Avatar of the Heavenly Emperor" within this tiny space, determined to perish together with the Vajra Sect Master!

Whoosh...

The moment this Heavenly Emperor Avatar appeared, an aura comparable to the Great Circle of the Nascent Soul realm radiated outward. Under normal circumstances, a technique capable of suddenly bursting forth with this level of energy would be enough to turn the tables in a desperate situation.

Yet, the Great Circle of the Nascent Soul realm was still some distance away from the true Deity Transformation realm.

And that distance was an unbridgeable chasm!

Although the Seven-Slaying Puppet refined by Lin Jun only allowed Ji Qingyou's split soul to unleash the power of the Deity Transformation realm, it was far more terrifying than ordinary Deity Transformation strength!

Therefore, even though the Heavenly Emperor Sect Master sacrificed his sect's disciples to briefly summon an Avatar of the Heavenly Emperor comparable to the Great Circle of the Nascent Soul, it was completely inadequate before the Seven-Slaying Puppet refined by Lin Jun!

In just a split second, the true form of the Heavenly Emperor Sect Master, along with his Nascent Soul projection, was seized by the gigantic hands manifested by the Vajra Sect Master and ruthlessly torn apart!

Rip!

In a single instant, the Heavenly Emperor Sect Master and the Heavenly Emperor Avatar were ripped to shreds together!

"No!" The Heavenly Emperor Sect Master wore a ferocious expression, but his final shriek of terror could not even escape his throat before he died!

Swish!

A downpour of blood rained across the sky. The silver puppet instantly materialized within the crimson shower, bathing in the Nascent Soul blood rain as a look of intoxicating pleasure spread across the Vajra Sect Master's face.

Under his control, the silver puppet showed faint signs of regenerating flesh and blood amidst the bloody rain. At the same time, he personally gathered the flesh and blood of the fallen Heavenly Emperor Sect Master from the ground, pressing them onto his own body.

At this moment, the silver puppet bore the facial features of the Vajra Sect Master, and his eyes gleamed with smug triumph.

Within the Vajra Sect, there existed a divine technique known as the "Sixteen-Foot Golden Body." Once successfully refined, it allowed one to leap two major realms in a single bound!

However, refining this golden body was no easy feat; it required the right timing, favorable geography, and harmony among people—and the silver puppet, along with the surrounding crowd, happened to meet all his requirements!

Though he had previously discarded his own physical body, as long as he successfully seized this puppet, using the silver puppet as the bone, the bodies of everyone else as flesh, and harvesting everyone's cultivation to form a pill of blood sarira, the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body would undoubtedly be achieved!

When that time came, he would break through two realms consecutively, reaching the Integration stage. What was mere Lin Jun compared to that? The entire territory of the Great Dao Sect would belong to him!

For him, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Therefore, he forged ahead without a second thought!

Having absorbed the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Emperor Sect Master, the silver puppet he possessed had already grown flesh over half of its body. The other half awaited the lives of everyone present to complete it!

Witnessing this scene, everyone in the area wore expressions of utter terror, yet there was nowhere to run! They were like fish on a chopping board.

"Heh heh, being transformed into my flesh and blood is your supreme honor. Come, witness my glory together!"

The Vajra Sect Master, having possessed the silver puppet, laughed in a grating voice that sounded like clashing metal. Then, he abruptly spread his arms.

A vast wave of Deity Transformation power surged outward, and amidst a chorus of miserable shrieks, the flesh and blood of countless people were gathered and fused onto his body!

The cultivation he extracted was condensed into a ball of bloody radiance hovering in the void. Once the true energy reached sufficiency, this artifact would completely transform into the legendary "Blood Sarira!"

In the blink of an eye, Ji Qingyou's puppet was tainted by countless impurities, becoming exceptionally filthy and reeking of a pungent, bloody stench, as if it had devoured a mountain of corpses and an ocean of blood.

"Jiuyou will not let you get away with this!" Seeing this, Gu Ya's eyes cracked at the corners with fury. Since she was already as good as dead, no one was controlling her anymore.

Though she was dying, she lingered on the brink of death, enraged past the point of dying peacefully by this unimaginably filthy spectacle. She never expected that the mortal she had saved would possess such terrifying power, only to ultimately end up in this state!

"Heh heh heh, are you speaking to me?" The Vajra Sect Master, driving the puppet whose face was now half-covered in newly grown flesh, walked over to Ji Qingyou with a weird chuckle. Using a hand bone not yet fully covered by flesh, he directly thrust into her throat, hoisting her into the air. He stared at her blood-stained face as if appreciating a fine work of art,

yet his eyes burned with madness.

"Jiuyou... will... not... let... you... get... away... with... this!" With her throat pierced, Gu Ya uttered each word with extreme difficulty, her eyes shining with an inexplicable, stubborn determination.

For some reason, even though she had watched with her own eyes as Gai Jiuyou was forced to feed the evil god because of her, she felt as though Gai Jiuyou had never truly perished!

This feeling had no logical foundation, but a mysterious, destined power drove her to stubbornly believe in it!

So much so that, despite being on the verge of death, she clung to her last breath until now, solely to see if the outcome her intuition promised would finally manifest.

"Heh heh heh, what a hopelessly infatuated woman. If I were still truly alive, I might actually have been reluctant to kill you." The Vajra Sect Master looked at her, his metal-grating voice carrying a hint of appreciation mixed with trace amounts of mockery.

"Yet, your man will never, ever return. No matter what fortuitous encounters he once had, from this moment on, everything belongs to me. Heh heh heh..."

With that, he broke into a low, triumphant laugh.
