Taking a deep breath, Old Ancestor Wuling's eyes shone brightly. Immediately after, a dazzling five-colored light burst out from his body. This five-colored light first expanded before suddenly shrinking and entering Old Ancestor Wuling's body. When it came out again, it had turned into many five-colored threads. If one were to look at these five-colored threads, they would discover that they were made up of groups of tiny runes. They were like gene chains, and these five-colored threads also contained Old Ancestor Wuling's will.
Without a sound, countless five-colored threads drilled into Ye Chen's body and began to take over Ye Chen's body and soul.
Two hours passed, and Ye Chen's eyes started to become dull. He would only wake up once every ten breaths.
"Good lad, your soul consciousness is actually so strong."
Old Ancestor Wuling was both shocked and delighted. Previously, when he was refining the Scarlet Wind Emperor and the Fire Sparrow Emperor, it only took him five minutes to refine their consciousnesses into puppet consciousnesses. Now that two hours had passed, Ye Chen's soul consciousness still hadn't turned into puppet consciousnesses and was still resisting.
"I want to see how long you can resist for. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Gradually, one and a half hours passed.
Four hours passed.
Ye Chen's eyes would only wake up once every ten minutes. Moreover, they seemed to be awake, but they weren't. They were in a chaotic state. At this moment, if someone used their soul consciousness to observe the interior of Ye Chen's body, they would discover that all the tissues in Ye Chen's body were entrenched with five-colored threads. It was as if Ye Chen's body was originally scattered, but now it was strung together by the five-colored threads. Of course, the five-colored threads had already touched the most basic flesh particles.
Six hours passed, and Ye Chen's eyes were no longer in a dull state. Instead, they turned into five-colored gems that shone brightly like two five-colored gems.
"It really is an Earth-rank puppet!"
Old Ancestor Wuling laughed loudly. The symbol of an Earth-rank puppet was that its eyes would emit five-colored light. The quasi-Earth-rank puppet that was killed by Green-Robed Emperor had a trace of this characteristic.
"He has become an Earth-rank puppet before he has finished refining. This lad is terrifying. I've gotten lucky."
Patriarch Wuling suppressed his joy and continued refining.
Wuling Forefather no longer poured the five-colored strands into Ye Chen's body. He began to condense five-colored runes and imbue them into Ye Chen's body. He imbued a total of 588 runes into the Stone Man Emperor's body, 622 runes into the Snow Air Emperor's body. The Scarlet Wind Emperor and the Fire Sparrow Emperor's body were about the same. One had one thousand four hundred and forty-four runes while the other had one thousand five hundred runes. As for Ye Chen, he had already imbued three thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight runes.
"Not enough. This old man wants to refine the strongest Earth-grade puppet. I need at least 4,200 runes."
Four thousand!
Four thousand one hundred!
4200!
The refinement was not over yet.
Four thousand three hundred!
Four thousand five hundred!
…
In the end, three days and three nights passed. Patriarch Wuling had imbued a total of 4,800 runes. When the last human-shaped rune was imprinted on Ye Chen's body, Ye Chen's aura expanded at the speed of a planet exploding. The aura of an ordinary peak-level emperor, a mid-level peak-level emperor, a top-level peak-level emperor, and a quasi-supreme.
Ye Chen's aura only stabilized when the quasi-supreme aura appeared.
"Seventy percent, no, it's seventy-nine percent battle prowess. It's infinitely close to eighty percent."
Looking at Ye Chen, Patriarch Wuling felt as if he was looking at a priceless treasure. A puppet with eighty percent of the original body's strength was equivalent to a super powerful clone. In the past, he could completely suppress those who were slightly stronger than him.
"Heaven is helping this old man."
Standing up, Patriarch Wuling was in high spirits. His dying body exuded a disdainful aura.
"From today onwards, you will be called Di Yi!"
Patriarch Wuling gave the name Di Yi to Ye Chen.
"Yes!"
Ye Chen gave off a very strange feeling. He didn't have the slightest sluggishness and was very obedient. If one observed carefully, one could vaguely distinguish him from a normal life form. After all, there were still some differences between a puppet and a life form, even if this puppet was very perfect.
"Go and kill him!"
Suddenly, Patriarch Wuling pointed at the Scarlet Wind Emperor and ordered.
"Yes!"
Ye Chen looked at the Scarlet Wind Emperor and pulled out the Flying Heaven Sword.
Patriarch Wuling had a playful expression and a hint of scrutiny. He was very confident in other puppets, but he was still a little worried about Ye Chen. Ye Chen's soul consciousness was too tenacious, and he couldn't guarantee that Ye Chen's soul consciousness had completely transformed into a puppet's consciousness. Of course, he wasn't in a hurry. As long as he put in some effort, any hidden dangers would be eliminated sooner or later.
Holding the Flying Heaven Sword with both hands, Ye Chen slashed at the Scarlet Wind Emperor with all his strength.
Clang!
This strike didn't kill the Scarlet Wind Emperor. Unknowingly, a five-colored light appeared on the surface of the Scarlet Wind Emperor's body. This five-colored light didn't come from the Scarlet Wind Emperor. With the Scarlet Wind Emperor's strength, he definitely wouldn't be able to block this strike. The source of the five-colored light came from Patriarch Wuling. Of course, he didn't want Ye Chen to really kill the Scarlet Wind Emperor. He was just probing.
"Alright."
Patriarch Wuling waved his hand.
The Flying Heaven Sword was sheathed. Ye Chen took three steps back and stood to the side.
"It's really perfect. If I wasn't at the end of my life, I could use you as my cauldron and possess you." Patriarch Wuling was very satisfied with Ye Chen's performance. There wouldn't be any problems for the time being.
"I'm tired. Guard the door."
With that said, Patriarch Wuling waved his hand and the door to the room next door opened. He slowly walked in.
Ye Chen took a few steps forward and stood guard outside the door.
A moment passed. Ye Chen stood there motionless. His eyes didn't change and he couldn't sense anything strange. Even his mind didn't fluctuate. He was like a statue with a life aura.
After observing with his Soul Power for a while, Patriarch Wuling retracted his attention. He had refined five puppets in a row, especially the last supreme-grade Earth-grade puppet. It had exhausted his mind and spirit energy. He hadn't felt this way in tens of thousands of years. He couldn't help but sigh. With the end of his life approaching, his energy was weakening.
Closing his eyes, Patriarch Wuling entered an ethereal state.
Ye Chen did not know how much time had passed. Perhaps it had been three days, or perhaps five. Suddenly, his eyes, which had not blinked at all, blinked once, and a trace of intelligence appeared. However, this intelligence was mixed with confusion, as if he was deep in thought.
This state didn't last long. After a hundred breaths, the intelligence disappeared and he returned to his original state.
As for the Scarlet Wind Emperor and the other three, they were like wax figures as they stood there in a daze.
On this day, the five-colored ship arrived at the periphery of an archipelago. If Ye Chen and company were in a sober state, they would definitely discover that this archipelago was the archipelago that they had passed through previously. On the volcanic island, the smell of sulfur filled the air. If they knew that they would experience such a calamity after leaving the volcanic island, they would probably choose to live in the volcano for several years to guard against ghostly attacks rather than become a puppet.
