Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 2911 - Boundless Greed

Chapter 2911 - Boundless Greed

Meng Ying's eyes narrowed when he heard that. Something was amiss. "Are you pretending to freak out?"

"I had no choice. I simply couldn't get nervous at all when I saw a dying old man like you," Wudi said, shrugging and smiling. ?r?ewe???vel.??m

Meng Ying's expression immediately changed! The Flameyellow Coffin's lid was now completely shut. If he hadn't been able to open the lid with the help of two divine wonders when he was in his prime, there was no way he could leave right now.

"Do you think an orderan like you can defeat me with cosmic artifacts?! If such a thing was possible, n.o.body would bother cultivating! Not even fortuna- and maniverse-cla.s.s artifacts are capable of such a feat!"

Even the most powerful artifacts required powerful people to wield them. The power of cosmic artifacts had to be brought out, unlike miniaturized nova sources that could freely release energy. As such, Meng Ying felt no fear of being trapped at all. He activated his ephemeral world wonder and instantly took control of the s.p.a.ce within the coffin, slowly spreading his influence into the Flameyellow Bloodsoul. Wudi was completely trapped in the illusions, yet he still smiled.

"Hateful, greedy old man.... The reason I tricked you into coming here is to teach you a lesson! Even if you have ten lives, you'll never be able to take that which belongs to us! Not only that, anyone that comes to the Sun to rob us will have to leave their lives and their treasures behind!" Wudi submerged himself in the Flameyellow Bloodsoul right as a terrifying object surfaced from it.

"What’s that?!" Meng Ying had wanted to laugh at the ludicrous words, but sensing that ancient, terrifying might made him freeze up!

The Thousand Foundation Divine Puppet had finally made its debut! The flesh of the divine corpse puppet coursed with countless divine celestial patterns. Just like the Flameyellow Coffin, it couldn't be invaded at all! But unlike the coffin, its design was completely different.

"Yet another trump card?!" Meng Ying's heart skipped a beat when he recalled Tianming taking out a celestial tome the last time and using it to cause unimaginable devastation. "Your world truly has countless treasures! That's how una.s.suming folk like you managed to cause us so much trouble!"

Meng Ying recalled how he and his former ally, Shenxi Xingtian, had suffered so much from Tianming's antics. Even then, his eyes didn't show a slightest hint of fear at the sight of the puppet's warblade. Instead, he looked greedier than ever.

"A divine corpse puppet of this cla.s.s.... How strong could this senior have been when he was still alive?!" Meng Ying's voice was harsh from his parched throat. He deeply yearned for all that he saw here, the coffin and the puppet both! He really didn't understand how a pathetic, weak orderan like Wudi had luck of this kind. "If I had all these treasures, it’d be enough to let me conquer the astralscape of order!"

Even if he only achieved one thing—the reincarnation of Tian Jiu—that would be enough. His white hair grew as unkempt as his robes and his expression contorted from greed as his heart rate sped up. Never had he felt so wild with desire. It was all clear to see on his face.

"Hehehe...." He drew a longsword with one hand and stretched his other hand out shakily, exerting the influence of his divine wonder on Wudi. "Thank you! Thank you, Li Wudi, Li Tianming, for giving me so much!"

"What’re you talking about, old fart? We should be the ones thanking you for delivering two infinitum-cla.s.s divine wonders to us," Wudi said with a mocking look. The Flameyellow Bloodsoul bubbled up and surrounded Wudi and repositioned the puppet beneath his feet. Meng Ying watched as Wudi climbed into the corpse puppet. When the hatch of the puppet closed back up, its eyes opened and its face changed into Wudi's!

"How can this be possible?!" Meng Ying shrieked in disbelief. Corpse puppets were just that, puppets! How could they be driven by someone inside? Even then, it didn't look like Wudi was just putting on a suit of armor! The corpse puppet seemed to have fused with him on the level of his astrons, granting him a completely new body altogether!

"Stop acting so arrogant. There’s tons of things that you're not even aware of. You can't pretend to fool me!" Wudi said, speaking with the divine puppet's mouth with a full, heavy voice.

After the Thousand Foundation Divine Puppet absorbed enough nova source from the astralguard formation, its divine celestial patterns glowed and pulsed. The Flameyellow Bloodsoul within the coffin began wildly surging like stormy waves.

Splashes of Flameyellow Bloodsoul touched Meng Ying, burning his astrons at the moment of contact. It burned so much that his face contorted once more from the pain. "Do you think something like that is enough for an upstart like you to go against me?!"

"Yes, something like this is indeed enough!" Wudi loudly roared, creating even more rampant waves. Even though the ephemeral world wonder created countless illusions, the puppet proceeded as if it didn't see anything. The countless patterns around its body formed miniature formations of their own, allowing Wudi to endure the influence of other formations.

In other words, Wudi and the puppet would fare better against divine wonders than Xiaodao. Plus, the ephemeral world wonder had never been an offensive divine wonder to begin with, so its options against Wudi were incredibly limited!

Wudi kept his gaze focused on Meng Ying as he approached. More and more waves of Flameyellow Bloodsoul forced the wonderian into a position he wanted. The coffin also seemed to exert some internal pressure on Meng Ying's body.

"Old man, even if you were in your prime with your wife, I could slaughter you like livestock within my turf!" Wudi was completely invincible, thanks to all those treasures and being inside the Flameyellow Guard Formation. In fact, he wouldn't even fear Yi Daiyan, if she didn't have the Infinitum Stele. Back then, he’d fought Xiaodao in the coffin while he was armed with the Primordial Demonshade (but without the Xiao Nu Gourd) and had managed to keep him at bay—such was the power of the coffin and divine puppet combined!
