As for the few people on the side, they had despair on their faces. What was crueler than death was waiting for death. They were now waiting for death. As long as those eight Heaven Puppets joined hands to get rid of Lin Yun, they would inevitably be cleaned up.
But now, they were just a group of trash that wasn't worth the puppets' attention, because they were already dead.
Constantine had an unwilling and despairing expression as he stared at Lin Yun standing in the center of the battlefield, despair and resentment flashing in his eyes.
'It's that guy, if not for him, we wouldn't have come to this damned array. Since he is an alchemist, why didn't he discover this problem ahead of time? Why didn't he discover that there were so many damned puppets here?
'Great, I barely survived, but I have to wait for death here. I have to wait for a group of damned puppets to cut off my head. I'm unwilling, I'm the youngest genius of the Secret Monastery, I'm the most promising one to advance to the Heaven Rank and become an Extraordinary powerhouse, yet I have to wait for death here.
'It's all because of that damned Mafa Merlin, wasn't he very powerful? Why did he have to be cut off by those stupid puppets? No, it's not just his head, his body will be cut into pieces and his soul will be torn apart.
Constantine was unwilling, and the others were naturally unwilling, including Lin Yun.
As the battle continued, Lin Yun's strength remained at its current level because of the Natural Demiplane's support. He had boundless mana to support the battle, but as the battle went on, the power he could display would inevitably start declining.
Fighting these puppets required a lot of energy, and their coordination was always perfect. This required Lin Yun to fight flawlessly in order to resist.
But as that Steel Body Puppet raised its tower shield and slowly approached, the pressure it felt increased.
The ten seconds weren't over yet. One minute passed, three minutes passed, five minutes passed …
The eight puppets' encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, and the power they could display was also increasing. More importantly, that Steel Body Puppet was already a dozen meters away, and the Critical Hit Puppet protected by the Steel Body Puppet could burst with its strongest attack at any time.
Suddenly, a Bursting Ray hit the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. Anderfa let out a blood-curdling scream and retreated back into the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, his Magic Tool sent flying.
The other Critical Hit Puppet dropped its weapon and attacked the Book of Mantras. The Book of Mantras also turned into a flaming book and was sent flying by the Critical Hit Puppet's power.
After losing Anderfa and Syudos' help, Lin Yun 'counterattack power instantly decreased by half.
Lin Yun's face was deathly pale, but his eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water. Only the raging flames in his mind were becoming more and more intense.
I can't die, I have to win, I can't die here …
He absolutely could not die here. He had to survive, he had to build the Shelter Tower, he had to figure out the truth of the apocalypse, he had to transcend …
'I haven't advanced to the Heaven Rank yet, how could I die, I absolutely can't be killed …'
The pure battle and the pressure of death had squeezed out his potential to the maximum. At the same time, it had also given Lin Yun the first time since his reincarnation that he had a pure battle without any distracting thoughts.
Vaguely, the skull that emitted the seven-colored light was like an illusory shadow that slowly and thoroughly merged with Lin Yun's skull, truly becoming one with Lin Yun.
The endless dark void in his mind had already turned into a world of flowing seven-colored light. An obvious crack had already appeared on the ancient gate erected in the center …
But it seemed to be too late now, and Lin Yun had already forgotten about this matter. He only had one thought left, and that was to survive. It was a simple instinct that completely conformed to the most fundamental instincts of his body and soul.
Lin Yun's expression was still calm, but it had already lost its focus. He had already forgotten that he was fighting. His body was like a puppet controlled by a battle system, accurately completing the steps of the battle.
He could only display the power of the 1st Rank of the Heaven realm, but he was forcibly resisting the eight Heaven Puppets. And among these eight puppets, four of them could burst with the power of a 2nd Rank Heaven powerhouse.
The eight of them together could even easily get rid of a 2nd Rank Heaven powerhouse. But now, they were being resisted by Lin Yun, who only had the power of the 1st Rank of the Heaven realm.
After ten minutes, the Steel Body Puppet finally resisted Lin Yun's counterattack and was five meters away from Lin Yun.
This distance was the attack range of the Steel Body Puppet, and one of the six puppets that had joined the attack suddenly joined in.
The Steel Body Puppet was most proficient in defense, but that didn't mean that its offense was weak. It could still display the power of a 1st Rank Heaven powerhouse.
The Frostbolt hit Lin Yun's shield, followed by an Exploding Ray. Then, the Heavy Hit Puppet shook the Law Runic Shield once again. As for the Monstrous Strength Puppet, the two Lightning Speed Puppets, and the Steel Body Puppet, their attacks almost simultaneously arrived.
In less than a second, the attacks of the seven puppets arrived at the same time. The connection between them was perfect, and the time between attacks was also perfect.
The thick Frostbolt with weakening power arrived first. Not only did it weaken the defensive power of the shield, but it also became the first wave of attacks, followed by the Exploding Ray. Moreover, because it was the opposite of the Frostbolt's power, it burst out with even more power.
Then, the Heavy Hit Puppet used the penetrating power of the Heavy Hit Puppet to shake the law runes and instantly reduce the defensive power of the shield. At the same time, it made the number of law runes flicker on the shield increase once again.
The Monstrous Strength Puppet and the Steel Body Puppet only increased the number of law runes flickering, while the Lightning Speed Puppet's attacks all fell on one point behind Lin Yun.
Numerous thin sword shadows kept flickering, making that point suffer a few dozen attacks in an instant. And according to the operation mechanism of the law runes, when a certain point suffered a powerful attack, the surrounding law runes would gather towards it and keep increasing the defensive power of that point.
But just as the law runes on Lin Yun's Law Runic Shield gathered behind him, the Critical Hit Puppet that hadn't attacked until now finally appeared in front of Lin Yun with its dagger. Berserk and oppressive power converged at the tip of the dagger and fiercely stabbed towards Lin Yun.
In the distance, Laibo's expression slightly changed. He then struggled to stand up, a weak deathless aura flickering on his body.
"Get ready, Sir Mafa is already fighting like a warrior to the last moment. Now, it's time for us to blossom and let these stupid puppets experience the radiance of our Secret Monastery's Aura."
Laibo had a calm expression, his eyes already filled with the will to die. As for Mariana's group of six, they were either unwilling, despairing, or resentful. But at this moment, they could only hold their weapons and fight to the death.
In the center of the battlefield, the place where the Critical Hit Puppet's dagger stabbed was the weakest area of the Law Runic Shield. The Law Runic Shield that had already reached its limits burst like a bubble the moment it came into contact with the Critical Hit Puppet's dagger.
The power of a 2nd Rank Heaven powerhouse ruthlessly hit Lin Yun's chest.
At the same time, the surrounding power suppressing the Law Runic Shield also fell.
"Boom …"
A fierce explosion echoed as radiance and raging power thoroughly burst out. The Critical Hit Puppet's dagger pierced through the area of the explosion.
As for the power of the dagger, it had already dissipated. That attack had clearly caused Lin Yun's body to explode, not even bone fragments could be found.
In the distance, Syudos and Anderfa came out of their Magic Tools. The two Magic Tool Incarnations were somewhat crazy, and grief could be seen on Anderfa's three faces.
"Merlin! B * stard! How could you die like this! "
As a Magic Tool Incarnation, it felt its connection with Lin Yun being severed. It could no longer sense any connection, and there was only one explanation for this, the master of the Magic Tool had already fallen.
The eight puppets stopped attacking at this time and calmly turned to look at Laibo's group. Seven of the puppets had already stopped fighting, only one Lightning Speed Puppet was raising its weapon and looking at Laibo's group.
But suddenly, a wisp of ancient and boundless, yet very weak aura appeared where Lin Yun had been blasted apart.
In an instant, that Lightning Speed Puppet that was about to get rid of Laibo's group immediately turned its head and looked at the chaotic area in the center of the battlefield that had yet to dissipate. The other seven Heaven Puppets also instantly entered a battle state, data frantically flowing in their scarlet crystal eyes.
That wisp of faint but boundless aura slowly floated up and the chaotic energy in the center of the battlefield seemed to have been expelled by an irresistible power and dissipated on its own.
At the center of the battlefield, an illusory light flashed in the void. Then, a seven-colored light appeared. A seven-colored flame burned with an ancient aura, as if it had been standing there since the beginning of time.
After the gate appeared, it rapidly expanded until it was nine meters tall. Then, it stood there quietly.
The gate looked as if it had been carved out of stone and its surface was covered in countless patterns filled with vicissitudes of life. They seemed meaningless, but those simple patterns seemed to contain a lot of information.
The eight puppets' crystal eyes suddenly stopped flickering. Just calculating the information transmitted by the gate almost burned their computing systems.
And what was even more strange was that the gate was standing there, but no matter from which angle, the gate was always facing the other side.
"Laibo … Senior Brother Laibo, what … What is that?"
Mariana had a lifeless expression as she stuttered as she looked at the gate.
Laibo was also stunned, he didn't know what was going on.
"I think Sir Mafa might not have died. Moreover, we should stay far away …"
Laibo led the Secret Monastery's group to keep retreating, but as they followed the barrier into the distance, Mariana couldn't help doubtfully asking, "Senior Brother Laibo, what is that thing?
"Senior brother Laibo, what is that thing? I feel like my soul is being suppressed. No matter where I go, that gate is always facing me …"
In the distance, Syudos and Anderfa controlled their Magic Tools to fly in the air and look at that ancient gate. Anderfa's three faces were stunned, disbelief, and ecstasy.
"Syudos, do you know what that thing is?"
Anderfa's face distorted as he looked at Syudos. Syudos' flaming eyes were filled with doubt, he couldn't understand.
"Idiot, he definitely doesn't know. I didn't expect that thing to truly exist. That Merlin really didn't die. I knew it, how could that terrifying Merlin die to a group of puppets? I knew it …"
Anderfa's other face laughed heartily, while the face in the middle was distorted with ecstasy.
"Gate of Rebirth, sh * t, it's actually the Gate of Rebirth. That b * stard Merlin really reached the legendary perfect foundation and used the most perfect posture to walk the mage path. Now, he is starting his rebirth, he is going to evolve into another kind of Extraordinary Lifeform!"
Anderfa's ecstasy couldn't be suppressed. He originally thought that Lin Yun had died, but he hadn't expected it to be an even bigger pleasant surprise.
A legend spread during the Era of Gods had already disappeared by the time of the Nesser Dynasty.
Because this legend had no basis. It was rumored that a lifeform had established a perfect foundation from the very beginning. Then, on the path to the Heaven Rank, every step was flawless, and it was possible to establish a perfect foundation.
And that perfect foundation might be so powerful that it couldn't be broken. The difficulty of advancing to the Heaven Rank would be unimaginably high, but as long as one advanced to the Heaven Rank, they would complete the most perfect Extraordinary Transformation.
The degree of completion of the Extraordinary Transformation was related to the path a powerhouse could walk in the future. And in the Era of Gods, the most perfect foundation of wisdom belonged to the God of Wisdom, Constance. It was even said that this theory was leaked from the mouth of the God of Wisdom, Constance.
But Gods didn't need to go through that process. The so-called legend was only one of the countless unreliable legends. This legend no longer spread by the time of the Nesser Dynasty. Now, no one knew about this legend.
Apart from Gods that were born at the Heaven Rank, no one could perfectly complete the Extraordinary Transformation.
Humans were only humans, no matter how they completed the Extraordinary Transformation, it was a transformation based on the foundation of their original body. And the degree of the Extraordinary Transformation had already been determined a long time ago. It was directly related to the limits of a mage.
The higher the degree of the Extraordinary Transformation, the further they could walk in the future. Although this matter wasn't absolute, it was a universal truth.
Just like those people who used the Golden Transformation Potion to complete the Extraordinary transformation, their future limit might be the 5th Rank of the Heaven realm. It would be very difficult to continue after reaching that point.
But this matter wasn't absolute, because too many mages were stuck at the peak of the 9th Rank of the Archmage realm. As long as they advanced to the Heaven Rank, they would have a lot of time to find a path forward.
Relying on their own power to advance to the Heaven Rank would break their own limits to complete the Extraordinary Transformation. That way, their future prospects might be a bit further.
As for the Gate of Rebirth, it would only appear in the depths of a mage's sea of consciousness when their foundation was perfect enough. Being able to open a crack in the Gate of Rebirth and obtain the Extraordinary Transformation would far surpass that of an ordinary Heaven Mage.
That way, as long as they didn't die, advancing to the 9th Rank of the Heaven realm would only be a matter of time, and they might even advance to the Heaven Rank.
But those people never felt that it was the Gate of Rebirth, and no one felt that the legend of the Gate of Rebirth was real.
Because a truly perfect Extraordinary Transformation wasn't a transformation based on one's original foundation, it was a complete rebirth. Even a hair would be reborn.
The Gate of Rebirth would be summoned, and the immense power would destroy the mage's original body. The mage would then be reborn perfectly, and the perfect Extraordinary body would be able to open the Gate of Rebirth and walk out from it.
The most important symbol of the Gate of Rebirth was that no matter who it was, as long as they looked at it, they would only see the front of the Gate of Rebirth, because only the Mages themselves could walk out of the Gate of Rebirth and not look at it directly.
And after being reborn, the mage would have to face all kinds of gazes. This was attracting everyone's attention, and it was forcibly attracting them!
The appearance of the Gate of Rebirth meant that Lin Yun had already started his Extraordinary Transformation. It could even be said that the berserk power of the Critical Hit Puppet helped Lin Yun a bit.
The Gate of Rebirth calmly stood there, its aura becoming more and more dense. That pressure that could make people prostrate themselves in worship also became stronger and stronger. The aura clearly wasn't irresistible, but it felt like there was a difference in essence. The difference in soul was like the difference between a Chromatic Dragon and a Pig Beastman.
The eight Heaven Puppets couldn't bear it as the aura grew stronger and stronger. Their computing ability had completely lost its effect, but as puppets that had awakened wisdom, they knew that they were in danger.
In an instant, all kinds of rays started attacking the Gate of Rebirth. The Monstrous Strength Puppet attacked, the Heavy Hit Puppet attacked, the Lightning Speed Puppet attacked, and even the Critical Hit Puppet launched their strongest attacks.
But these attacks instantly dissipated when they fell within nine meters of the Gate of Rebirth. Their power simply couldn't break through that boundary.
Syudos controlled the Book of Mantras to make a move, but Anderfa's three faces were filled with ridicule as he blocked Syudos.
"Syudos, don't worry about it, let these fools continue. This is the Gate of Rebirth, it's not a spell, it's the power of the world, Merlin's power, the power of Laws, it's the manifestation.
"Unless it's a power that can instantly destroy Noscent, no matter how powerful a powerhouse is, they absolutely can't destroy this Gate of Rebirth. Let these fools continue, Merlin is about to come out …"
The eight puppets' frantic attacks had no effect on the Gate of Rebirth. Time slowly passed, and after a few hours, the eight puppets were still attacking.
