Rebirth as a Tiger: Sister is the Reborn Empress!-Chapter 418 - 416: Puppet Grand Array

Moments later, each major force relied on their own Spirit Treasure to smoothly cross the treacherous Lightning Sea, arriving at the Purple Jade Square in front of the Thunder Emperor Palace.

It was fortunate to have You Lin blazing the trail, otherwise, treasures like the Sect’s Ultimate Treasure, which serve as trump cards, weren’t something the major forces were ready to reveal so early.

Because the Pure Origin Immortal Sect set out first, they seized the advantage and were the first to arrive.

However, when Qing Mu and the others landed and were impatiently about to charge towards the gates of Thunder Emperor Palace, a sudden change occurred.

Rumble~

Amidst a deafening thunderclap, the constantly quivering Purple Jade ground ahead gleamed with lightning, as eight silver figures slowly emerged from below the surface.

This unexpected event caused the Pure Origin Immortal Sect members to halt in their tracks, surprise and astonishment written all over their faces.

What floated up from the ground were surprisingly eight silver puppets.

These humanoid puppets, with their animated silver eyes, wore armor and wielded silver spears, their entire beings radiating an aura of lightning and destruction that spread in all directions, exuding an intensely dangerous aura.

At this moment, all the major forces finally caught up, landing behind the Pure Origin Immortal Sect members. They were rather surprised at the puppets obstructing their way.

Unexpectedly, even after crossing the perilous Lightning Sea, there were still obstacles; entering the Thunder Emperor Palace wasn’t going to be easy!

However, upon reconsideration, everyone couldn’t help but feel pleased.

They silently praised the timely appearance of these puppets.

If it weren’t for these puppets blocking the way, the Pure Origin Immortal Sect might have entered the Thunder Emperor Palace first.

Seeing the other forces had caught up, losing their initial advantage, the Pure Origin Immortal Sect members were fuming, blaming those damn puppets.

"Hmph, just a few puppets, do they think they can stop us? Die!"

A certain elder standing next to Qing Mu and Qing Yu let out a cold snort and suddenly stepped forward, attacking the eight puppets.

Boom!

Suddenly, he flew up, simultaneously summoning a crimson Pill Furnace, the firelight surging as it hovered in mid-air, exuding a scorching aura.

In an instant, the lid of the Pill Furnace opened, and endless flames poured out as if a torrential river, spilling rapidly downward from within, in a blaze towards the eight silver puppets.

For a moment, the area in front of the Thunder Emperor Palace was filled with surging heatwaves and flames, the surrounding temperature skyrocketing under the influence of the flames, causing the space to ripple intensely, looking extremely terrifying.

Upon seeing the Pure Origin Immortal Sect taking action, all the major forces behind them focused their unblinking gazes, wanting to see the strength of those eight puppets and whether they could withstand the strike of an eighth-tier expert.

If these few puppets crumbled with one hit, it could possibly mean that the dangers of the Thunder Emperor Palace might not be significant...

The next moment, as if sensing the attack, the eight puppets that were originally standing still, moved.

They turned into a single streak of silver light, in the blink of an eye, moving to specific positions, forming a special formation.

Rumble~

The surface lightning instantly connected the eight puppets, forming a combined assault formation. In an instant, a massive amount of lightning surged from the eight puppets, enveloping their bodies and extending to the silver divine spears in their hands.

Then, they saw the puppets holding the spears aimed at the eighth-tier expert in the air, and immediately, thunder roared, purple light soared into the sky.

Amid the roaring sounds, eight black-purple lightning bolts shot out from the tips of the spears, merging together in an instant, forming a black-purple lightning spear, its aura of destruction overwhelming the sky.

Bang~

In an instant, the rapidly formed lightning spear, seemingly capable of piercing through space, directly shattered the descending river of flames, destroying it in an unstoppable manner.

Then, with irresistible momentum, it smashed into the body of the crimson Pill Furnace.

"Puff~"

At once, the crimson Pill Furnace let out a mournful cry, its light dimming, instantly flying out and falling onto the ground.

The elder from Pure Origin Immortal Sect who was controlling the Pill Furnace let out a miserable scream, spitting out a mouthful of blood mist, his entire body falling like a stringless kite.

"Qing Shi, my junior brother!"

Qing Mu exclaimed in alarm, flying up to catch Qing Shi, who was covered in blood, just in time.

At this moment, Qing Shi’s face was as pale as paper, his aura depleted to the extreme, having been severely harmed by a single strike from the eight puppets.

"To think these are puppets possessing eighth-tier strength and can form a battle array; truly the handiwork of an Emperor Realm expert, what grandiosity!"

Amidst the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall crowd, an ancestor who had been watching the front in silence, sighed in admiration, feeling even more fervent inside.

Even a gatekeeper uses eight eighth-tier puppets so extravagantly, the relics left behind by the Thunder Emperor must contain treasures of immeasurable value!

There’s a significant chance they possess the treasures to help him advance to the ninth tier.

"Damn, these puppets are too powerful, injuring Qing Shi severely with just one strike, easily of at least eighth-tier level."

Xuan Jian was shocked, his expression solemn, speaking to Xuan Xu beside him.

His strength was comparable to that of Qing Shi, and if he were to fight, he might end up like Qing Shi.

"Junior brother Xuan Jian, don’t act recklessly. This Thunder Emperor Palace is likely full of dangers; without my permission, do not attack lightly."

Xuan Xu turned, cautioning Xuan Jian and the other disciples.

Responding, Xuan Jian and the others nodded; having just witnessed Qing Shi’s ordeal, they dared not be careless.

"Wow, even a gatekeeper wields such power.

The treasures within must be incredibly valuable; our Celestial Demon Sect is determined to seize them this time!"

Among the Celestial Demon Sect crowd, You Yuan eyed the eight puppets, then the entrance of Thunder Emperor Palace, avarice gleaming in his eyes.

They had already lost someone even before entering the Thunder Emperor Palace; if they couldn’t make up for it inside, they’d definitely suffer heavy losses.

You Lin, my junior brother, rest assured! I will thoroughly explore the Thunder Emperor Palace and retrieve its treasures for you.

But upon witnessing the puppets’ prowess, although each individual’s response varied between shock and greed, no one dared to initiate an attack lightly.

With the treasures so close, no one wanted to waste their strength because of these gatekeeping puppets.

For the moment, the situation came to a standstill.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan’s eyes twinkled as he secretly transmitted to Jiang Che: "Big brother, go fight the puppets and stall them, I have a way to control these puppets."

Jiang Che, who was merely watching without plans to act, paused, then glanced at Fang Yuan.

Immediately, he nodded, walking forward with a cheerful smile, "Since everyone cherishes their lives so much, let this king take the lead!

Mere eight puppets are nothing to me."
