As for the dozen Four Element Bombs that would appear every second, they also rushed towards the place where the three casting puppets were standing. Explosions kept echoing and the berserk destruction elemental power had already enveloped that area, but Lin Yun was still releasing Four Element Bombs without stopping.
The three casting puppets had already stopped casting, they simply didn't know what was going on inside.
Suddenly, Lin Yun's frantic casting stopped and he started rapidly chanting an incantation. Not only did the runes erupting from the wheel shadow not decrease, the range sharply increased by ten times.
Countless law runes condensed into a three-meter-big Law Runic Bomb in front of Lin Yun. The instant it condensed, that Law Runic Bomb flew out.
In the air, the power of those law runes burst out, and the frame was like a hole emitting a huge devouring power, tearing down a huge amount of chaotic power from the void.
It looked like a colorful band of light trailing behind the Law Runic Bomb.
And on the other side, the silhouettes of the three casting puppets could be seen. The three casting puppets gathered together and some of their components were linked together. A radiant shield appeared outside their bodies, protecting them.
But their shields were instantly hit by Lin Yun's all-out Law Runic Bomb.
The sound instantly disappeared, because the medium through which the sound spread, even the Laws, were distorted. Everything was torn apart, and only a terrifying chaotic energy sphere slowly expanded.
The energy sphere expanded to a dozen meters in size before suddenly exploding. A terrifying shockwave swept through the entire square, and the light of the array kept flickering. Mariana's group of six was standing several hundred meters away, but they were still sent flying by the shockwave. They were covered in dust after falling to the ground.
And at this time, the scales shadow under Lin Yun's feet, the Purple Dragon shadow, the wheel shadow, and even the Book of Mantras had already disappeared.
The mana emitted by Lin Yun's body also rapidly dissipated, and after a few seconds, he returned to his normal state.
Dust and fragments started falling from the sky, and the fragments of the alchemy puppets fell to the ground from time to time, looking like pieces of scrap iron.
At the edge of the square, Mariana's group of six foolishly looked at the scene before them and swallowed with difficulty.
As the dust fell down, fragments of puppets could be seen everywhere on the ground. Most of the components had been deformed from the heat, as if they had been corroded by acid, or as if they had been exposed to the wind and sand for several millennia.
In the distance, after the dust and debris fell, everyone saw that the ground, which had been solidified countless times and had not been damaged after so long, had been blasted into a crater that was dozens of meters wide. At the edge of the crater, they could even see that the ground had been reinforced to a depth of seven meters, but it was still blasted into pieces.
Three distorted bodies could be seen in the hole, and there was even a Heaven Puppet with half of its body blown up. It kept shivering, its scarlet crystal eyes still flickering with light.
After a few seconds, the light in two of the puppets' crystal eyes thoroughly dissipated. Their mana reactors had been shattered.
Only one of the deformed puppets still hadn't died.
Lin Yun calmly walked towards the hole. In the distance, Mariana's group of six paled. They weren't scared by those puppets, they were scared by Lin Yun.
Mariana's mouth was trembling, and her hand holding her narrow sword was shaking.
'Heavens, that guy is really a 9th Rank Archmage! Thirty seconds, in less than thirty seconds, he got rid of all the level 39 puppets. Three Heaven Puppets were actually killed by a single spell!
'I must be hallucinating, it's impossible for someone of the same rank to be stronger than me. This isn't what I said, it's what the Abbot said. I'm already the strongest person under the Heaven Rank.
'But this is too exaggerated … A 9th Rank Archmage, and only a 9th Rank Archmage!'
Oh my god, the outside world is really too dangerous, there are actually people stronger than me …
Beside Mariana, a horrified young Sword Saint stared blankly for a long time before asking in disbelief.
"Senior Sister, what happened just now? What happened here? "
In the distance, Laibo took advantage of Lin Yun's burst to behead that four-armed puppet. The Song of Sacrifice pierced through the puppet's mana reactor and ended the battle.
Laibo's eyes flickered, filled with shock. But his face showed that he already knew this would happen.
Laibo walked over to the six junior-apprentice brothers and sisters and saw that they weren't injured. He sighed in relief and then fiercely glared at Constantine with a cold expression.
'That idiot, I've spoiled him too much. He didn't even listen to Sir Mafa's words, and now he encountered such a dangerous situation.
'If not for Sir Mafa wanting to scare these guys, they would have already died and I might have also fallen here.
'But Sir Mafa's strength is truly terrifying. Powerhouses among mages are indeed stronger than Sword Saints, especially in this kind of situation. Mages are simply unequalled.'
Laibo looked at Lin Yun walking towards the hole, apparently to gather something. He stood there and remained silent, calmly waiting.
Lin Yun walked down the hole and examined the two dead puppets. The ability rune was embedded in their arms, but it had already lost its luster, showing that the puppets' mana had already disappeared.
He didn't find anything abnormal after dismantling it, but the scarlet eyes of the distorted but still alive puppet flickered. It wanted to fight back, but it simply didn't have the power to do so.
The enormous impact and explosive force had completely destroyed the energy circuits and weapon systems within its body. Even some of its joints were twisted, and its body could not move at all.
But after dismantling the outer shell, Lin Yun discovered that this puppet's ability rune was still operating. Moreover, some special energy circuits that weren't part of the puppet's construction were spreading from that ability rune and extending into the puppet's mana reactor.
Seeing this, Lin Yun was startled.
'Damnit, that ability rune was really transplanted from another Heaven Rank Puppet!
'This kind of circuit, this kind of method, and this special mark … Sh * t, this is the Helix Circuit researched by Bill Gates, it doesn't touch the energy transmission structure!'
Seeing this thing, Lin Yun immediately sealed that Heaven Puppet and preserved it.
At this time, Lin Yun finally understood why he could see the ability rune transplanting method that hadn't been researched in the future.
It was because one of the most important techniques had been lost. Why were there still a large number of puppeteers at the peak of Noscent so obsessed with the results of Bill Gates' research and excavating the ruins he left behind?
The ruins before his eyes weren't just related to the puppet base in the Raging Flame Plane, they had a huge connection, because these ruins were also one of the ruins left behind by Bill Gates!
The Helix Circuit's structure had already been researched in the future, and the non-contact energy transmission structure had also been researched.
As for this kind of non-contact energy transmission structure, Lin Yun knew five of them. They had all been researched during the peak of Noscent.
But the one before his eyes was completely different. It simply hadn't appeared in the future. It was this kind of structure combined with the Helix Circuit.
It made the ability rune transplanting possible!
This was the best specimen. If not for the fact that he wanted to destroy these puppets, he might not have been able to discover this.
Because after the puppet was dismantled, there was simply no way to find that kind of non-contact energy transmission structure, because there was simply no contact. How could they find it when it was dismantled? Only when it was intact could they find it. And if it was another alchemist, they might not be able to find it.
After putting away the puppet, Lin Yun walked out of the hole.
Seeing Lin Yun walking over, Laibo walked to Constantine with a dark expression and picked him up like a chick. He carried him in front of Lin Yun and ruthlessly threw him to the ground.
Constantine was about to say something when Laibo kicked his calf and made him kneel on the ground.
"Constantine, what is the 383rd rule of our Secret Monastery? Read it aloud."
Constantine struggled to stand up, but he was suppressed by Laibo's Aura. Hearing Laibo's words, Constantine's expression changed and he promptly read it aloud.
"If you don't understand something, you have to humbly ask someone who understands. You can't carelessly meddle in something you don't understand."
"What is the 18th rule!"
"Because of your own recklessness and stupidity, putting your companions in danger is the most damnable behavior."
Laibo had an ashen expression. Mariana and the others lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything.
The Secret Monastery's rules were the most important. Even the Abbot had to abide by these rules. Those who didn't abide by them would definitely be punished. The Abbot had once punished himself for violating the rules.
Laibo had an ashen expression as he glared at Constantine.
"Constantine, tell me what kind of punishment you should receive."
Constantine's eyes were bloodshot, but he could only obediently acknowledge the rules.
"Seal my Aura and chop three thousand Iron Trees in the back mountain. Every tree has to be chopped to the same size.
Seal my Aura and enter the sleepless area for three years. Suffer three years of punishment … "
When Mariana heard this, she couldn't hold it in anymore. Her face turned pale.
'Three thousand Iron Trees have to be chopped to the size of a finger. Not counting the failures, it'll take at least three years to complete after sealing my Aura.
The Sleepless Land was a damned place. Just staying there for three months would make one go crazy. The senior brother who had caused the death of the Mystic Sect's disciples was sentenced to ten years in the Sleepless Land. But in less than a year, he completely broke down and committed suicide.
'Three years, Constantine is dead …'
Laibo had a dark expression and didn't dare to plead for leniency. After saying that, Constantine's face turned completely pale.
Laibo's expression then eased up a bit and he looked at Lin Yun.
"Constantine, if not for Sir Mafa's help, do you know what would have happened? Not only would all of you have fallen here, even I might have fallen here.
You are the Secret Monastery's most important successors of this generation. If all of you perish, or even if I perish, the Secret Monastery might encounter a powerful enemy. Our Secret Monastery, which has been passed down for countless years, might be completely destroyed.
And all of this might have been because of you. You thought you were smart, but you ended up harming everyone.
"According to our Secret Monastery's rules, kneel and apologize to Sir Mafa. Do you accept it?
When you go back, accept the punishment yourself. Do you accept it? "
Constantine lowered his head, gritted his teeth and bowed towards Lin Yun before loudly shouting, "I accept it, I'm willing to accept any punishment!"
"I accept, I'm willing to accept any punishment!"
Laibo's taut face slightly relaxed and he turned to bow towards Lin Yun.
"Sir Mafa, I really have to thank you this time. This kind of thing happened because our Secret Monastery's teachings were lacking. I apologize to you and thank you for selflessly extending a helping hand to save my junior apprentice brothers and sisters."
Lin Yun shook his head. He didn't care about this kind of thing, he just wanted to scare these kids. After all, he had already saved these people, and he still needed their help to crack the array. If they all died here, then the two days he had wasted would have been in vain.
If not for that, he might not have been able to discover the secret contained within the Heaven Puppets. He might even be able to crack a lost technique from it. This was enough.
Moreover, Lin Yun was even more looking forward to seeing what was in the easternmost part of the ruins, because those ruins were definitely ruins left behind by Bill Bill.
And the possibility of the Reedpush Plate here was a lot more reasonable, because Bill Bill had been a relatively mysterious existence in the future. Most of the ruins discovered in the future were small ruins left behind by Bill Bill. They could find valuable things, but there wouldn't be any pleasant surprises.
The ruins of Bill Bill's true alchemy research hadn't been excavated until Noscent's destruction. Many of the legendary techniques that only had their names left behind were completely lost.
Lin Yun's mind was filled with thoughts on how to crack the array in the easternmost part of the ruins, so he naturally didn't care about Constantine.
In any case, this matter had already been settled.
After getting rid of the puppets, the door of light in the depths of the square emitted rays of light that transformed into a vortex. This was the sign that the entrance had truly opened.
Lin Yun and Laibo took the lead in stepping through the door of light and left the trial field, followed by Mariana and the others.
Constantine lowered his head, his eyes red as he fiercely glared at the door of light, his teeth creaking as he gnashed them.
'Mafa Merlin, it's all because of that damned guy. If not for him, senior apprentice brother Laibo wouldn't have scolded me and even brought up the rules to scold me.
'That damned guy clearly has such formidable power, yet he didn't make a move and insisted on cracking the array to escape.
'Mariana was in danger just now, if not for me, she might have already fallen, but that guy is still indifferent, he simply doesn't care about our lives.
'That door of light hasn't been cracked yet, why didn't he say anything? He definitely did it on purpose to lure us into making a move!
'That damned guy, I should have pierced his throat with a sword, but that damned guy is too powerful.
'But it doesn't matter, no matter how powerful he is, he is only a 9th Rank Archmage. I'm the most talented disciple of our Secret Monastery in the past few centuries. I can definitely advance to the Heaven Rank, and once I advance, he won't be my opponent.
The Abbot said that my future accomplishments will definitely be greater than senior apprentice brother Laibo's. Senior apprentice brother Laibo might not be Mafa Merlin's opponent, but I can definitely trample him underfoot.
'Senior Brother Laibo already said that I have to accept the punishment after returning. Those damned Iron Trees are harder than steel, chopping one is torture, but now I have to chop over a thousand …'
'I don't want to go to a place like the Sleepless Land, I'll definitely go crazy. I have to advance to the Heaven Rank before returning. Only then can the Abbot pardon my punishment.
It's all because of that damned Mafa Merlin. I must ruthlessly trample him under my feet!
Constantine stomped his foot angrily and stepped into the gate of light.
After leaving, Laibo casually asked.
"Constantine, why are you so slow?"
Constantine's eyelids twitched and he promptly lied.
"I picked up some puppet fragments inside and was planning to go back and put them on the table to remember this lesson."
Laibo shook his head and sighed.
"Constantine, do you know why you came out to gain experience? It's to temper your temperament and gain more experience. It's good that you understand.
"I believe that you can advance to the Heaven Rank after receiving your punishment. This is also a good thing …"
Constantine lowered his head and remained silent. He couldn't help getting angry when he saw Lin Yun, but the difference in strength was too great. He was afraid of being noticed by Lin Yun, so he could only endure.
After saving Mariana, Laibo's junior apprentice brothers and sisters were all saved. Now, it was time for Laibo to fulfill his promise and help Lin Yun crack that array.
Ever since he discovered the secret of the ability rune transplant in the trial field, Lin Yun wasn't just interested in the easternmost Heaven Grade Array.
He had enough time, so he decided to go to some of the more important locations marked on the map.
He didn't find any precious information, but he found some tattered notes left behind by two people who had previously worked there.
Looking at these notes, Lin Yun suddenly understood the biggest doubt he had.
