Spirit Vessel Chapter 993: First Life Puppet

Chapter 993: First Life Puppet

The experts present were extraordinary characters. They noticed that something was amiss so they stuck around to see the development.

The corpse looked terrifying, pale with long fangs. It had deteriorated after the long years, no longer the same as before.

Feiyun smiled and said: “A dead master is still a master, being disrespectful to the master will result in punishment!”

The experts sneered and realized that Feiyun was just bluffing. He might be the first to be eaten by that corpse.

The scaled pig demon laughed and said: “Look at him, still running his mouth when death is calling.”

Feiyun felt the chilling aura behind him intensified.

Who the h.e.l.l is this? He used his Grand Change Art to calculate and came up with a conclusion.

This man had died long ago but used a puppet art to refine himself into a puppet, wanting to be reborn again and live forever.

Unfortunately, this ended with him becoming an abomination, neither dead nor alive. The only thing left in this corpse was a puppet will.

Is he really Nie Hai? The top master of the Dao Puppet Art in Sixth Central? What a terrible end, being reduced to a thoughtless puppet.

If this was the case, Feiyun thought that he had a chance of surviving.

If he’s an immortal puppet, will my Grand Puppet Art be able to control him?

Feiyun’s attainment in the art was rather limited. Alas, he needed to give it a shot.

He formed the mudras of the art and rays shot out from his ten fingers, looking like ten strings. They entered the corpse’s body.

“Raa!” The corpse roared and stomped the ground. Its power erupted as it lunged towards the paragons.

“What the h.e.l.l?!” The paragons didn’t expect a half-demon to be able to control this ancient corpse.

“Rumble!” The corpse’s fingernails became more than three meters long with a green glow. They were as sharp as blades.

The pig and ant demon turned back to their original form, looking like two mountains. Demon energy surged around them and turned into thick layers of armor.

“A lowly half-demon and this dead corpse can’t amount to anything.” The pig demon shot out a barrage of its scales, wanting to reduce the corpse into pieces.

“Raa!” The energy stored inside the corpse was monstrous, easily engulfing the scale arrows.

It spewed out a beam of miasma and sent the pig flying. It fell down several hundred meters away and looked like a dead pig.

The corpse was extremely strong when it was alive and still retained some of its power.

It then penetrated the ant’s thick carapace without a problem. The latter turned back to humanoid form and spat out a mouthful of blood. Its eyes were filled with fear: “This corpse is insanely strong, we need to fight together!”

The demons attacked at the same time using their heaven-defying techniques and spirit treasures.

“Boom!” The corpse sent them flying one by one. It punched a vermillion bird demon’s head and obliterated it, leaving a gigantic hole.

The headless demon panicked and retreated far away before creating a new head. Alas, it was drained of its vitality and looked as pale as a piece of paper.

“How could this half-demon be strong enough to control the corpse? Does he have a secret technique?” it contemplated before summoning a feather, turning it into a sword, and throwing it at Feiyun’s heart.

“Die!” It showed no mercy but all of a sudden, the corpse landed from above. Its claws resembled ten swords and cut the bird demon into numerous pieces.

A paragon was now dead.

“A Heaven’s Emergence corpse, that’s good stuff.” Something white and round with a brick on top rolled out of the palace and grabbed the pieces of flesh.

It had two snow-white legs and gathered each drop of blood into a battle.

Feiyun was busy using his Grand Change Art but still knew that it was the turtle. It put a brick on its head in order to hide its ident.i.ty from the demons.

The others could see that he was in control. Killing him meant stopping the corpse.

“Everyone, slow down this corpse, I will kill him.” Princess Feiyuan soared forward like a white flower petal, raising her sword and swinging it towards Feiyun’s head.

“Blazing Lotus Lamp!” Feiyun’s Buddhist energy turned into a lotus lamp with a bright radiance.

This was one of the nine techniques he created from the third diagram.

“Boom!” It stopped the slash while waves of golden light rushed out from the impact point.

“I didn’t expect a half-demon like you to be so strong, I should have killed you back on the battlefield.” The princess’s murderous intent surged.

Feiyun kept on performing mudra to control the puppet. He recalled it while still focusing on channeling the lotus lamp.

He put on a smile and said: “Your Highness, don’t be so shocked. It’s only a matter of time before I become stronger than you.”

“I’m afraid you won’t have that opportunity.” She strengthened her slash.

“Crack!” A crack appeared on the lotus lamp.

“Boom!” It broke down completely and the slash continued onward.

Fortunately for him, the corpse returned in time and punch the sword. The strength crushed the bones in her hand as well.

He heaved a sigh of relief after surviving the offense.

“Don’t you dare touch Her Highness!” A white spider paragon spewed out webs to slow down the corpse.

The latter grabbed the web and suddenly pulled the paragon over. The frightened paragon tried to cut the webs to escape but it was too late.

The corpse had already caught onto it and glared at its victim.

“Noo!” The princess stood in a distance and was busy re-creating a new hand.

“Crunch!” The corpse swallowed and ate the paragon alive.

This was a shocking scene - a first-level paragon being eaten.

Its mouth was filled with blood and flesh. Its corpse aura became increasingly ferocious.

“Raa!” Its roar caused earthquakes.

The paragons found that this corpse has become even stronger.

Feiyun himself was surprised because Nie Han had reached an exceedingly high level with the Dao Puppet Art. This puppet was able to increase its cultivation through feasting.

Among puppet masters, this was known as the First Life level. There were twelve levels total in the Grand Puppet Art.

Reaching the last level meant obtaining a new form of life. No one has reached this level before.

In fact, just the first level was a big deal because the puppet could then swallow anything with spirit energy to become stronger. Regular puppets couldn’t do so.

Nie Hai had reached this level before death and turned his body into a First Life Puppet. Unfortunately, this wasn’t enough to give him another chance in life.
