Sun Erlang did not respond to the Artisan’s words, for his limits were far beyond this.
A hundred, two hundred, five hundred...
Only when the number of Black Puppets in the test field surpassed a thousand did Sun Erlang stop summoning them, under the Artisan’s astonished gaze. n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
Thousands of Black Puppets fought against one another, each with a different fighting style; it was impossible to tell that they were all controlled by one individual.
Even after achieving such a feat, Sun Erlang still had the spare energy to chat with the Artisan.
"You jest, senior. I am the Sect Leader’s Big Disciple, destined to conquer the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, to lead rather than to follow. Moreover, although these puppets are strong…"
"But I am not weak."
Sun Erlang’s tone was full of confidence, "Controlling these puppets can be left to my subordinates. I don’t believe, senior, that the Sacred Army Puppets you created could outnumber our Holy Dynasty’s soldiers?"
The Artisan waved his hand dismissively, "No, no, no, you’ve misunderstood, kid. I’m not talking about these ordinary Sacred Army Puppets, but this kind…"
As he spoke, along with streaks of Dark Light flashing, the thousands of puppets summoned by Sun Erlang disappeared from the test field.
In their place, a Space Crack opened, and a giant Golden Puppet as dazzling as the Radiance of the Sky in the Spirit God’s Temple of the Holy Dynasty descended.
A mysterious and majestic aura swept across the entire test site.
The seals around them creaked under the tremendous impact, as if they could shatter at any moment.
The eyes of the Golden Puppet gazed at Sun Erlang as a deity watches the mortal world: cold and merciless.
Being targeted, Sun Erlang suddenly had the illusion that he was facing his Master.
"This is…"
Sun Erlang looked at the Artisan slightly surprised.
With a self-satisfied expression, the Artisan said, "This is indeed a powerful puppet that represents the highest skill of my craftsmanship. Those Black Sacred Army Puppets were merely common goods, consumables in war."
"Did you really think I would let you experiment without making any preparations for handling something truly high-end?"
Sun Erlang felt somewhat embarrassed by the comment, but soon his attention returned to the quietly standing Golden Puppet before him.
"Senior, what is the strength of this puppet?"
The Artisan proudly declared, "Not to discourage you, kid Sun, even though you are the Sect Leader’s Big Disciple, if it really came to a fight, you probably wouldn’t be a match for this puppet."
Sun Erlang narrowed his eyes but did not voice any objection.
The Artisan continued, "This puppet is not like the mass-produced ones. Each one is personally crafted by me, and by the Emperor…"
The Artisan paused and chuckled, "Anyway, you just need to know that these Golden Puppets are extremely precious. Even with the entire might of the Holy Dynasty, no more than ten could be made."
"Similarly, the requirements to control it are also significantly higher. I was quite worried about where to find suitable candidates to control them. But it turns out you had something up your sleeve…"
"You can control over a thousand mass-produced puppets simultaneously, so controlling five Golden Puppets should be no problem."
"That big of a difference?" Sun Erlang frowned.
"Hehe, you’ll know once you try." The Artisan stuffed a golden sphere into Sun Erlang’s consciousness sea.
Boom!
The scene before his eyes shattered explosively as if he had instantly moved from the test field to the Endless Dark Star Sea.
Ahead, two crimson-golden giant spheres radiated intense heat and light.
Sun Erlang was unknowingly drawn closer, and only then did he realize that these were the eyes of the Golden Puppet!
His consciousness was immediately absorbed, and when Sun Erlang came to his senses, he looked dazedly at his own hands.
He could no longer feel his original body.
Now his body had transformed into that of the Golden Puppet.
And…
Sun Erlang could distinctly feel an overwhelming unknown power flowing and circulating within him.
"This is…"
As he was lost in thought, the Artisan’s voice came from beside him, "I will transport you to the Outer Space of the Da Qi Miniature World, within a special hunting ground. There, you can freely test this puppet body."
The space around him twisted, and Sun Erlang found himself instantly in a Dark Void.
He could vaguely see the sight of the Holy Dynasty surrounded by numerous miniature worlds.
"Roar!"
A Silver-scale Giant Python, thousands of feet long, suddenly emerged, opening its gaping mouth.
The next moment it was about to swallow the Golden Puppet controlled by Sun Erlang.
However, Sun Erlang made no move to defend, allowing only a faint glow to emanate from the puppet’s surface.
The Silver-Scale Giant Python ignited like it was set ablaze, turning into ashes amid its mournful howls, dying in agony.
The python’s death, like a stone thrown into a pond, stirred up ripples.
Hundreds of unnamed Monstrous Beasts emerged from the darkness, attacking Sun Erlang irrationally.
Sun Erlang could clearly feel that each of these specially cultured Monstrous Beasts from the Holy Dynasty had power no less than that of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.
But facing their onslaught…
Sun Erlang extended his left hand, stroking it gently as if playing a string, causing ripples in space.
The originally ferocious beasts still bore their living expressions, but their bodies were dismembered into countless fragments in an instant, falling like rain.
"The Power of Principle."
"Space Law."
Sun Erlang quietly gazed at his left hand, a wave of enlightenment flooding his mind.
As this realization dawned on him, he felt as if he saw a figure hiding within his own body.
