Duan Lingtian's sword strike had failed, and he could only temporarily dodge the Earth Puppet's edge.
But the Earth Puppet had a speed that steadily surpassed Duan Lingtian, and when it charged towards Duan Lingtian, it was like an eagle catching a chick.
After a short moment, the Earth Puppet had once again arrived before Duan Lingtian.
Its fist smashed out once more, and it contained the strength of 10 ancient horned dragons with an imposing manner that shot into the sky like a rainbow.
This time, Duan Lingtian wasn't able to dodge in time, and in a hurry, the grade one spirit sword in his hand shook as it moved to intercept the Earth Puppet's fist.
Bang!
The Earth Puppet's fist smashed down, shaking Duan Lingtian's hand that held the sword to the point the palm between his thumb and index finger split open and dripped with fresh blood.
The grade one spirit sword had almost slipped out of his hand as well.
The Earth Puppet's fist was pressed slightly by the strength of the grade one spirit sword in the end, and it avoided Duan Lingtian before fiercely smashing out.
The material fist print whistled out and smashed onto the ground as if it was crushing dry weeds.
Instantly, the ground quaked and the mountains swayed once more.
"I can't go on like this … I'll be killed by it sooner or later!"
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath and used his Origin Energy to stop his bleeding, then he consumed a Great Recovery Pill before catching his breath and retreating to the other side of the cavern.
"I can only try if soul skills are effective against it …"
Duan Lingtian commanded in his mind, and a dim light flickered within his eyes.
Thousand Illusions!
Instantly, Duan Lingtian constructed an illusory space that enveloped the Earth Puppet.
However, it was completely disregarded by the Earth Puppet.
"Looks like even though the Earth Puppet possesses a material body, its essence is still an Origin Shadowpuppet. It doesn't have a soul and is utterly unaffected by soul skills."
Duan Lingtian sighed in his heart.
At this moment, he realized that even though he'd grasped the soul skill, Thousand Illusions, it was useless before the Earth Puppet.
Meanwhile, the Earth Puppet continued charging towards Duan Lingtian and unfolded the process of an eagle catching a chick.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
… …
The Earth Golem's speed completely surpassed the Duan Lingtian, its strength completely surpassed the Duan Lingtian, and its battle with the Duan Lingtian was simply like an adult chasing after a child.
"Eh? Why hasn't it mobilized the Earth Energy with the Earth Concept yet?"
Duan Lingtian was puzzled by this.
He believed that if the Earth Puppet mobilized the energy of the earth, then he would probably be killed by the Earth Puppet in a single move.
Duan Lingtian, who had dodged many times and suffered many injuries, came to a conclusion while being beaten.
For some reason, the Earth Golem couldn't draw upon the power of the earth …
"What's going on?"
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but feel curious as he hurriedly fled under the pursuit of the Earth Golem.
With a thought, he began to search Emperor Wu's memories.
Soon, he got his answer.
"Even if an Earth Golem were to forcefully fuse with an Earth Concept Fragment, it would still be unable to compare to a human that has comprehended the Earth Concept. Demon beasts usually mobilize the energy of the earth. "
"Human martial artists or demon beasts can only communicate with the earth through the Earth Concept and attain a level of intimacy before being able to obtain the acknowledgement of the earth and mobilize the energy of the earth!"
"Whereas the Earth Puppet doesn't possess intelligence. Its stiff and icy cold body utterly doesn't know how to communicate with the earth through the Earth Concept … In this way, it's naturally unable to mobilize the energy of the earth!"
Duan Lingtian heaved a sigh of relief.
"So that's how it is."
Although the current Earth Puppet was still not something that Duan Lingtian could deal with.
But the worry in Duan Lingtian's heart still dispersed greatly.
At the very least, he was now completely sure that when the Earth Puppet exerted its full strength, it was only comparable to the strength of 10 ancient horned dragons …
Compared to him, it was only stronger by the strength of a few thousand ancient mammoths.
Whoosh!
A wave of ear piercing howls of the wind sounded out, causing Duan Lingtian's mind to instantly tense.
He knew that the Earth Puppet had approached him again.
Whirlwind!
He hurriedly swung his sword backwards, and his entire body seemed to have transformed into a gale that flashed towards the distance.
Clang!
After the Earth Puppet's fist that was like a cannonball blasted the grade one spirit sword in Duan Lingtian's hand away once more, its momentum didn't reduce in the slightest as it blasted onto the cavern wall at the side with a bang, shaking the cavern wall to the point stone fragments flew into the air, and hideous and terrifying cracks appeared on the wall.
"It really hurts."
Duan Lingtian felt the intense pain that came from the web between his thumb and index finger, and he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth as he frowned.
Whoosh!
Right at this moment, under Duan Lingtian's gaze, the Earth Puppet turned around and charged towards him.
"The body of this Earth Puppet seems to be heavy, yet its speed isn't slow."
Duan Lingtian's gaze inadvertently descended onto the feet of the Earth Puppet.
Presently, the Earth Puppet had flashed out to pounce towards Duan Lingtian, and its feet rubbed against the ground and flickered with numerous sparks that were like bolts of lightning.
These strands of sparks were imprinted within Duan Lingtian's eyes and infinitely enlarged, causing Duan Lingtian's expression to become slightly dumbstruck.
"Lightning … Lightning …"
Duan Lingtian muttered, and he seemed to have obtained some sort of comprehension.
It seemed as if an instant had passed, yet also seemed as if a century had passed.
"I understand now … So it turns out that I've taken a wrong path in the past! It's true that lightning belongs to the energy of nature, but it's formed through a certain method as well … That method is similar to friction. "
Duan Lingtian returned to his senses.
Right at this moment, the Earth Puppet had already arrived before Duan Lingtian, and its fist was ceaselessly enlarging before Duan Lingtian's eyes.
It seemed as if it would smash Duan Lingtian flying in the blink of an eye.
"Bring it on!"
Duan Lingtian shouted out explosively, and he even didn't have the thought of dodging.
Sword Drawing Arts!
In the time it took for a bolt of lightning to flash out, the grade one spirit sword in Duan Lingtian's hand flashed out like a shadow, and it moved to intercept the fist of the Earth Puppet that smashed towards him.
In practically an instant, the Origin Energy and 2nd level Wind Concept within Duan Lingtian's body easily fused into the spirit sword.
It wasn't just that.
Strands of lightning flashed out along with it.
Whoosh!
In the sky above Duan Lingtian, another ancient horned dragon silhouette appeared out of thin air beside the nine ancient horned dragon silhouettes and a few thousand ancient mammoth silhouettes.
Lightning Concept!
1st level Elementary Lightning Concept.
Swish!
An ear piercing sword howl sounded out, and when the grade one spirit sword in Duan Lingtian's hand touched the fist of the Earth Puppet once more, it wasn't blasted away.
Instead, it slashed the fist of the Earth Puppet off like cutting tofu.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian's body moved slightly.
The sound of wind and thunder resounded.
He easily dodged the fist of the Earth Puppet that was brought out by inertia after being cut off.
Bang!
The fist that left the body of the Earth Puppet fiercely smashed onto the wall behind it, and it actually directly embedded itself into the wall.
Cracks extended out in the surroundings of the fist, and it seemed to have formed a spider web.
On the other hand, Duan Lingtian.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
…
With a raise of his hand, the sword lights in Duan Lingtian's hand seemed to have transformed into a rain that covered the sky, and it descended bit by bit onto the body of the Earth Puppet.
At this moment, the body of the Earth Puppet that Duan Lingtian was originally unable to injure in the slightest seemed to have become exceedingly weak tofu, and it was easily shattered into over 100 pieces by Duan Lingtian.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
…
The remnants of the Earth Puppet fell to the ground successively, and they were numerous solid earthen yellow rocks.
At the same time, an earthen yellow fragment appeared within Duan Lingtian's field of vision, and it fell along with the numerous earthen yellow rocks.
"This is …"
Duan Lingtian's heart shook when he saw this earthen yellow fragment, and his gaze abruptly lit up. "Seventh level Advanced Earth Concept Fragment!"
This Concept Fragment was even better than the sixth level Advanced Lightning Concept Fragment that Little Gold obtained earlier.
Duan Lingtian moved like a bolt of lightning to grab the Earth Concept Fragment in his hand, and his mood surged.
Right at this moment, the voice of the Martial Monarch sounded out from the Earth Concept Fragment and entered into Duan Lingtian's ears. "Congratulations on passing the fourth test! The fifth test is activated by walking nine steps backward and three steps to the left. "
Obviously, the Sound Condensing Inscription left behind by the Martial Monarch was within the Earth Concept Fragment.
After returning to his senses, Duan Lingtian carefully sized up the Concept Fragment in his hand for a while.
After confirming that he wasn't dreaming, he put it away in his Spatial Ring as if he'd obtained a precious treasure.
"This time, it was all thanks to this Earth Puppet that I was able to comprehend Lightning Concept in a hurry …"
Duan Lingtian sighed with emotion as he looked at the Earth Puppet that had shattered into over 100 pieces beneath his feet.
He could imagine.
If it wasn't for him comprehending Lightning Concept in time, it would be impossible for him to destroy the Earth Puppet and obtain the Earth Concept Fragment.
"There are still two more tests …"
After returning to his senses, Duan Lingtian continued towards the fifth test.
The fifth test was the test of wisdom.
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian arrived at the place the Martial Monarch spoke of and activated the inscription formation …
Right at this moment, Duan Lingtian's vision blurred, and everything in his surroundings underwent a tremendous change.
This place wasn't that cavern any longer.
Instead, it was a dazzling palace.
"Illusory space?"
At the first possible moment, this thought abruptly emerged within Duan Lingtian's heart.
After this thought arose, it couldn't be stopped, and it caused Duan Lingtian to be even more convinced.
Duan Lingtian wasn't unfamiliar with illusory spaces.
The soul skill he possessed, Thousand Illusions, was capable of constructing an illusory space that caused one to be immersed within and be unable to extricate themselves.
"I never imagined that there would be a time when I'd be trapped in an illusory space."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled.
Right at this moment, the voice of the Martial Monarch sounded out in a timely manner. "The fifth test is the test of wisdom … What you have to do is leave the palace you're in and return to the cavern! The time limit is 15 minutes. "
"So long as you're able to return to the cavern within the time limit, the sixth test will begin instantly … So long as you defeat the final Sword Puppet, you'll be able to obtain my lifetime inheritance."
Hearing the words of the Martial Monarch.
Duan Lingtian was stunned.
"Obtain the inheritance? Could it be that the others … have failed the previous tests? "
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
Although he didn't know exactly what was going on, Duan Lingtian still quickly recovered from his shock, and he raised his spirits to size up the illusory space before him.
"Although I'm able to construct an illusory space, but how should I break through this illusory space?"
Duan Lingtian didn't have a clue.
"Nevermind … I'll just give it a try."
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian utilized all his abilities.
2nd level Wind Concept, 1st level Lightning Concept, and Earth Force took turns to attack.
But the illusory space was still stable like Mount Tai, and it wasn't affected in the slightest.
