The nine puppets moved quickly and attacked with their Sword Light. Black Sword Light shot out and attacked the four people who were surrounded.
Suddenly, one of the puppets slowed down. Under the guidance of the invisible force, the other eight puppets slowed down. Their attacks were also affected and became scattered.
"The Puppet Formation does need puppets of the same strength to be complete," Chu Mu said.
After knowing the result, Chu Mu launched a counterattack.
In a situation where the puppet formation wasn't complete, its effects couldn't be displayed, and its power couldn't circulate. Thus, it became nine puppets attacking Chu Mu's group of four, each fighting for themselves. In such a situation, Chu Mu alone could pass through, let alone with the formation of four people.
As the Sword Formation of Four Divisions was worn out, the power of the formation also became stronger.
Under the counterattack, Chu Mu's sword stabbed out continuously. It was incomparably accurate and hit the core of the puppets, cutting off the power transmission.
The nine four-star Saint puppets also fell into Chu Mu's hands. He collected them and prepared to bring them back to the True Sword Sect.
The fourth underground palace was also empty. They didn't rush to find the door to the fifth underground palace. Instead, they stopped and summarized the previous battle, what they needed to pay attention to, what they could improve, and so on. This allowed the four to have a deeper understanding of the Sword Formation of Four Divisions.
"Let's try to completely master the Sword Formation of Four Divisions by the time we reach the sixth underground palace," Chu Mu said.
Completely mastering the Sword Formation of Four Divisions meant that the Sword Formation of Four Divisions was complete. Its power would obviously increase by a lot.
After discussing and improving, they opened the door to the fifth underground palace and walked in.
Sure enough, there were only six puppets in the fifth underground palace. However, each puppet had the strength of a five-star Saint.
Chu Mu rubbed his fingers and a white Puppet Breaking Light shot out and hit one of the puppets. He was testing whether it would work after activating the puppet.
The Sword Formation of Four Divisions quickly approached.
The Puppet Formation of the six puppets in the fifth underground palace was a fifth-grade one. It had the strength to contend against a seven-star Saint. It would definitely suppress anyone below that.
Fortunately, Chu Mu and the others had improved their Four Symbols Sword Formation further. Although they were still no match for a Seven Star Saint, they were still able to resist for a while.
Once the puppets were activated, they moved at lightning speed, forming a puppet formation. Chu Mu knew that his Puppet Breaking Light earlier was not effective. From the looks of it, only after the puppets were activated would the Puppet Breaking Light be effective.
As soon as the six puppets formed a puppet array, the pressure on Chu Mu's group of four suddenly increased.
Every puppet's attack power was extremely high. An ordinary Six-Star Martial Saint would not be able to withstand it at all. Under the Four Symbols Sword Formation, even Chu Mu found it difficult to block and counterattack.
Since Chu Mu was under pressure, the other three naturally felt even more pressure as well. However, each of them resisted the pressure.
Under the intense pressure, the four of them constantly discovered the flaws of the Sword Array of Four Symbols. They quickly adjusted and improved the array, making it even more powerful. Chu Mu also combined the puppet array from before to analyze the level 5 puppet array, studying its mysteries.
Under the immense pressure, everyone's improvement in the array was obvious. The depletion of energy was also very shocking.
After a while, Gu Luankong and the other two could not withstand it anymore. Chu Mu quickly released a Puppet Breaking Light, hitting one of the puppets and stopping the level 5 puppet array from working.
When it was a level 4 puppet array, Chu Mu could break it with his own ability. However, when it was a level 5 puppet array, he could indeed deduce the energy lines and energy nodes. However, there were only a few nodes. Moreover, these puppets moved very quickly and the nodes were constantly changing. It was very difficult to grasp.
However, it was different with the Puppet Breaking Light. If he used it directly, as long as he hit the puppet, he would be able to weaken the puppet's power.
When the level 5 puppet array stopped working, Chu Mu and the rest began their counterattack.
As Chu Mu drew his sword, one puppet after another was hit in the core by his sword. They could not move at all.
With a wave of his hand, he immediately kept all six puppets.
"In the sixth underground palace, there are only three puppets. However, each puppet has the power of a six-star Saint. The level 6 puppet array that they form is able to fight against an eight-star Saint. Even if we complete the Sword Array of the Four Divisions, we will not be able to fight against it." Chu Mu said, "Therefore, we only have one chance. The moment the puppets are activated, shoot out the Puppet Breaking Light and stop them from forming the level 6 puppet array."
"However, before that, let's upgrade the Sword Array of the Four Divisions. I feel that the Sword Array of the Four Divisions has reached a critical point."
The four of them immediately started practicing again. Their aura was getting stronger and stronger. Suddenly, a dragon's roar came from Chu Mu's body. A green aura seemed to spin from the bottom of his feet. His body shot up into the sky and turned into a green dragon.
Then, a tiger's roar that was filled with murderous intent came from Gu Luankong. A platinum aura gathered and turned into a white tiger in the sky.
Then, the Red Sparrow and the Black Tortoise also gathered in the sky above Lian Hongyun and Yang Zhantian.
The Sword Array of the Four Divisions had been completed.
The complete Sword Array of the Four Divisions had obtained the power of the Four Divisions. This caused the power of Chu Mu and the other three to increase.
After recovering the power of their Spiritual Bodies and the power of their Spiritual Bodies, the four of them opened the secret door and entered the last underground palace.
The three puppets stood in front of them, motionless.
"This time, let's go all out." Chu Mu said. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately performed the Divine Wilderness Restoration Secret Technique.
Ripples spread out and took in the Yuan Qi of the heaven and earth.
Gu Luankong, Yang Zhantian and Lian Hongyun also performed the secret technique.
The Divine Wilderness Restoration Secret Technique increased the power of the Sword Origin by ten times. The secret technique that Gu Luankong and the other two performed also increased their power by ten times.
Under such circumstances, they still could not guarantee that they could fight against the three six-star Saint level puppets. It should be known that the level 6 puppet array that they formed was very powerful and could fight against an eight-star Saint level.
Under the condition that they performed the secret technique and the Sword Array of the Four Divisions was complete, Chu Mu and the other three could only fight against a seven-star Saint level expert.
"Spiritual Sword!" With a low shout, a surge of power appeared in Chu Mu's body. It had a spiritual sharpness that surrounded his body.
"Vacuum."
"Hundred Battle!"
"Red Fiend!"
Gu Luankong, Yang Zhantian and Lian Hongyun also activated the power of their Sage Bodies.
The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise above their heads became more solid because of the power of their Sage Bodies. They also had a unique aura.
The Azure Dragon was more spiritual and had a faint sharpness. The White Tiger was more ethereal and had a terrifying sharpness. The Vermilion Bird had a terrifying murderous aura and the Black Tortoise was full of fighting spirit.
"Go." Chu Mu shouted and quickly closed in on the three puppets.
The three puppets were instantly activated. Their eyes shone brightly and they charged towards Chu Mu and the others with shocking speed.
In just an instant, the moment the three puppets were activated, the level-six Puppet Array was formed.
The attacks of the puppets reached the level of an eight-star Saint level expert.
"Sword God's Descent!"
"Light of Puppet Destruction!"
Instantly, Chu Mu and the other three immediately attacked. Chu Mu activated Sword God's Descent secret technique and slashed out with his sword. One slash slashed out and met the attack head-on. He rubbed the two fingers on his left hand and cast Puppet Breaking Light towards the puppet. Gu Luankong and the other two also cast Puppet Breaking Light towards the puppet.
With a twenty-fold increase in strength, the power of the Sword Array of the Four Divisions, the power of the Azure Dragon and the power of the Sage Bodies, Chu Mu's strength had reached an unimaginable level. However, even with such strength, he still couldn't withstand the attack of the other party.
The moment the two swords collided, Chu Mu felt an indescribable and terrifying power coming towards him.
With a kacha sound, Chu Mu was sent flying backwards. His body trembled violently and the Azure Dragon above his head instantly dissipated with a sorrowful cry. Blood spurted out from his mouth. With a boom, Chu Mu crashed into the wall, bounced back and landed on the ground.
With just one attack, Chu Mu was severely injured. Even so, Chu Mu was still able to stand firmly when he landed on the ground. The life force in his body quickly spread out and healed his injuries.
Luckily, he had the support of the Sword Array of the Four Divisions and the Azure Dragon. Otherwise, that attack might have taken Chu Mu's life.
The Light of Puppet Destruction was effective. One of the puppets' strength was weakened by thirty percent. The level 6 puppet array was broken by itself.
Chu Mu moved quickly. Gu Luankong and the others also quickly approached Chu Mu and formed the Sword Array of the Four Divisions again.
The Azure Dragon and the other three divisions gathered above Chu Mu and the others' heads. The Azure Dragon looked a little dispirited.
Without being able to form a puppet array, the three Six Star Saint level puppets were not much of a threat to Chu Mu and the others. Especially when one of them was weakened by thirty percent.
However, Chu Mu was severely injured and needed some time to recover. Thus, he used the Sword Array of the Four Divisions to deal with the three Six Star Saint level puppets.
After a while, Chu Mu's injuries were almost healed and he started to counterattack.
With a stab, he struck the core of one of the puppets. He injected his power into it and cut off the transmission of power. At this moment, Chu Mu felt the sword in his hand tremble and shatter from the middle.
It turned out that the Heaven Slash Sword was already damaged when it was struck by the puppet. Now, it could not withstand Chu Mu's power and shattered.
The moment the Heaven Slash Sword shattered, Chu Mu reacted quickly. With the Eternal Spiritual Sword in his hand, he stabbed towards the second puppet.
Fortunately, he did not use the Eternal Spiritual Sword to clash head-on. Otherwise, the Eternal Spiritual Sword might have been damaged. After all, the difference in strength was so great.
Not long after, the three puppets' transmission of power was cut off by Chu Mu.
The battle ended and the Sword Array of the Four Divisions dispersed. The four of them heaved a sigh of relief and panted heavily.
This battle was too intense. They had used up all their strength. There was not much energy left in their bodies.
"We finally passed." Lian Hongyun sat on the ground, not caring about her image.
"If it wasn't for Chu Mu, we wouldn't have been able to pass the first underground palace." Yang Zhantian panted.
"This is not my contribution alone." Chu Mu said. What he said was the truth.
Without the three of them forming the Sword Array of the Four Divisions, they would not have been able to pass the underground palace.
Chu Mu felt that it was a pity that the Heaven Slash Sword shattered. After all, it had been with him for so long. However, it was shattered. There was nothing he could do about it. With a wave of his hand, he put away the shattered Heaven Slash Sword. Perhaps, it was a kind of memento.
After resting for a while, he recovered a lot of his strength.
"Let's go. It's time to reap the rewards." Chu Mu said and strode out.
