When Yang Wu, Dongfang Chen, and Yue Gou entered the temple, puppets appeared once again. However, these puppets were not as strong as the ones outside. Instead, they were puppets of a higher level. Each of them was half-step into the Divine Realm, and the ones leading them were true Divine Realm puppets. They wore exquisite armor and rode stone wolves. They patrolled the temple and did not allow any living creatures to enter.
Previously, Wen Chongchao, who had left the team with them, was besieged by several puppets and was about to be crippled.
When he saw Yang Wu and the others come in, he hurriedly cried out, "Please lend me a hand."
He was wearing a divine armor and carrying a divine weapon, yet he was still no match for these puppets. It was clear how powerful these puppets were.
"Alright, I'll let you guys go first this time. Otherwise, you'll say that I'm eating alone," Yang Wu said to Dongfang Chen and Yue Gou.
Dongfang Chen's face fell instantly, and Yue Gou wanted to cry.
These puppets were obviously much stronger. They had no chance of winning.
However, since Yang Wu had spoken, they did not dare to delay. They carried their weapons and charged at the puppets.
Fortunately, there were not many puppets, so there was still some room to deal with them.
They each used their own methods and engaged in a fierce battle with the puppets.
Yang Wu began to size up the situation of the temple. He found that more than half of the temple had collapsed, and only a small part of it remained. The fact that the puppets were still here was a blessing in disguise.
The temple was very large. There were three main halls and thirty-three side halls. They were built in a picturesque disorder. The halls were connected by arrays, forming an array within the hall. In front of them was only the front hall. If they wanted to enter the other halls, they still needed to pass through the arrays between the halls.
In addition, Yang Wu found that these arrays were very strange. They did not seem to be a peerless array that was deliberately set up. Instead, they seemed to be natural arrays that were intertwined with power.
He was not an array master, so he could not understand the profoundness of these arrays.
"These powers don't seem to be the power of a divine array. It's too strange," Yang Wu thought to himself.
At this time, Dongfang Chen, Yue Gou, Wen Chongchao, and the others were being beaten by the puppets.
Their strength wasn't weak. With the help of divine weapons, they could fight against half-step deity level creatures. Unfortunately, they weren't of one mind, fighting separately. It was difficult for them to pose a threat to those puppets.
When Dongfang Chen finally got rid of a puppet, Wen Chongchao, this villain, lured another puppet over, and he took the opportunity to slip away again.
"Wen Chongchao, once we get out of here, I swear I'll kill you!" Dongfang Chen roared.
Yue Gou, who was at the side, had already been beaten to tears. His abdomen had been pierced by the puppet, and his shoulder had been blasted apart by the puppet. He felt that he was about to die.
"Charge for what? Charge!" Yue Gou shouted regretfully.
Just as the puppet's battle spear was about to pierce his glabella, a long whip lashed out, and the puppet's glabella exploded, no longer causing any damage.
Yang Wu held a Dragon Vine Whip and said calmly, "You guys are really weak. It's hard to get lucky like this."
Yue Gou was so shy that she wanted to die.
He had been in the Divine Firmament battlefield for more than ten years, and this was the first time he was looked down upon by someone.
On the other side, Dongfang Chen was fighting against two enemies at the same time. He was also in danger. He only managed to escape after Yang Wu intervened.
At this moment, he was full of admiration for Yang Wu's combat strength.
Yang Wu didn't have time to pay attention to him. He waved the Dragon Vine Whip leisurely, and streaks of dragon-shaped battle aura roared. The terrifying aura of a dragon crashed into the puppets' glabella, killing them one by one.
One of the puppets that hadn't made a move all this time finally moved. He said in a hoarse voice, "Kill all intruders!"
This puppet was extremely powerful. It held a spear, a defensive shield, a battle sword, and a battle bow on its back. It was clearly an all-rounder.
The puppet's spear attacked. Light and shadow flowed, and its battle intent was shocking. It landed in front of Yang Wu's chest in the blink of an eye. Just as Yang Wu was about to be stabbed, the Black Tortoise Battle Armor appeared on his body. It reversed the defensive battle aura and deflected the power of the spear.
Without waiting for Yang Wu to counterattack, the puppet smashed the battle shield toward Yang Wu's head like a battle weapon.
Such a continuous and fierce attack made Dongfang Chen and Yue Gou's hearts palpitate.
If it were them, the other party could kill them in one strike.
Yang Wu couldn't retreat in time. The Black Tortoise Battle Armor was smashed. The huge impact shattered the armor, and the remaining force made him retreat continuously.
This was the power of a god-level living being.
Yang Wu hadn't recovered his battle strength to the Starline Realm, and the defensive power of the Black Tortoise Battle Armor wasn't strong enough. However, this attack didn't injure him. He felt that his physical body's resistance had exceeded the limit. It was even higher than his original great success Saint Physique.
Perhaps it could be said to be a perfect Saint Physique, and not just a great success.
Yang Wu's confidence increased greatly. He held the Dragon Vine Whip and swung it out, entangling the puppet's battle spear. The Double Blade Triple Dragon Spear appeared and pierced the puppet's forehead.
Clank!
The puppet reacted quickly and blocked Yang Wu's attack with its battle shield.
At the same time, the puppet waved its arms, releasing power from its battle spear and battle shield. It used a violent method to meet Yang Wu head-on. Bang!
Bang!
The two of them clashed together continuously. It was like a fierce battle between a dragon and a tiger. It was very exciting.
Not far away, two people were watching the battle and commenting on it.
"Who is this person? He actually has such combat strength? Could it be someone from another ancient city? "A rough man wearing lion armor doubtfully asked.
"There is only one ancient city near the Barren Wasteland. Look over there, it's Dongfang Chen and Yue Gou. They came together, so they must be people from our Ancient City Palace. Perhaps they are new generals." The gloomy man with a bloody blade on his back replied.
"No matter who he is, he is a retard. These puppets are inanimate objects. As long as we restrain our aura, they won't be able to find us. Why waste so much time here?" The rough man said. He paused for a moment and said, "Let's go to the other palaces to take a look."
"Okay." The gloomy man replied and left with them.
When they left, Yang Wu glanced at their original position and focused on fighting the puppets.
He felt the changes in his body's strength. It was really much stronger than before.
He needed this battle to consolidate his foundation and break through to the Celestial Rune Realm as soon as possible.
As long as he returned to the Celestial Rune Realm, he would be able to do many things.
Yang Wu was continuously beaten back by the puppets. Even if there were wounds on his body, they would be immediately healed. This was the benefit of activating his immortal root.
In the end, he used a trick to restrain his aura. It was as if he had disappeared in front of the puppets. He didn't let the puppets feel any life force and shattered the puppet's forehead in one fell swoop, obtaining victory.
Yang Wu hurriedly took off all of the puppet's equipment and put it on himself. "So heavy. This is really good stuff. Now I feel safe."
Not far away, Dongfang Chen and Yue Gou were dumbfounded.
They felt that Yang Wu was like a bandit. He didn't even let go of the puppet's clothes. He was too beastly.
It had to be said that after Yang Wu put on the ancient armor, he looked much more formidable.
He said to Dongfang Chen and Yue Gou, "What are you guys standing there for? Quickly go into the palace and see if there are any good things. Could it be that you want to leave them all for me?"
"Leader Yang Wu is joking. We respect you." Yue Gou spoke first.
"Yes, we follow Leader Yang Wu." Dongfang Chen said.
"You guys are very good. Then let's go into the palace and take a look." Yang Wu said with a satisfied smile.
Thus, they stepped into the front hall. In front of the main hall, there were four big words carved "Taiping Temple". Among them, the word "temple" was almost shattered. They could only vaguely make out these two words.
The left and right pillars and the door were all torn down.
Yang Wu said sadly, "These beasts didn't even let go of the door ornaments."
Dongfang Chen and Yue Gou nodded in agreement.
After they stepped into the palace, they cursed again. Because the corridor tiles on the ground were also hollowed out, it was obvious at a glance that it was done by the creatures who came in before them.
Anything of value in the hall had been swept clean.
"It seems that there's nothing in this palace." Yue Gou was extremely disappointed.
Dongfang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "We risked our lives to come here and didn't even see a strand of hair. It's really heartbreaking."
"You're wrong. There really is a strand of hair here." Yang Wu responded from the side and swept towards an ancient well with big strides. Then, he wiped his hands and grabbed into the ancient well.
The next moment, he fished out a strand of hair.
This was a gray feather without any luster. It blended into the dark well, making it difficult to discover its existence.
Perhaps even if its existence was discovered, no one would care. How much could a gray feather count for?
Dongfang Chen and Yue Gou were speechless.
There was indeed a strand of hair here.
They had no interest in this strand of hair. At a glance, they knew that it was just a strand of hair dropped by a bird or beast. What use could it have?
Yang Wu, however, felt that it was different. He felt a faint "underworld" aura from this feather.
There weren't many birds that could touch the underworld aura.
"Lunar Bird? Or Nine Secret Underworld Bird? "Yang Wu thought in his heart.
He didn't think much about it and put the feather away. Perhaps it would be of great use. Even if it wasn't, he could take it back and make a feather fan for the beautiful Military Advisor.
However, just as he threw it into the Qiankun Space, the Innate Phoenix Fan automatically appeared with the flames of a phoenix and burned the gray feather.
After the gray feather was stimulated, it finally displayed its ability. The figure of a gray bird appeared.
Yo yo!
This was a Nine Secret Underworld Bird, the natural enemy of the phoenix.
The Nine Secret Underworld Bird was a divine bird in the Underworld. It specialized in the energy of the underworld, while the phoenix specialized in the energy of the extreme yang. The two were exactly opposite of each other. When placed together, they would repel each other.
He also found that the firepower of the Phoenix Fan couldn't do anything to this gray feather at all. On the contrary, this feather extinguished a lot of the firepower and even destroyed the Phoenix Fan.
"Even a strand of hair is a divine object. This trip was worth it."
