Chapter 1997: 826, where did these battle puppets come from?
 

Black Armor!

Black Armor of the Galaxy Universe!

Whether it’s the Lingxiao Domain or other Continent Domains, all of them were once breached and enslaved by the Galaxy Universe.

The strength of the Galaxy Universe had become a consensus among various parties.

During the gap before the fusion of the Ten Thousand Domains, many powerhouses from within the Galaxy Universe also arrived, driving their battle puppets and wearing battle armor.

These individuals came to recruit and subdue the Elites within the Lingxiao Domain.

Lingxiao Sword Sect also had quite a few disciples who reached agreements with the powerhouses of the Galaxy Universe.

The battle puppets and black armor of those Elites from the Galaxy Universe demonstrated immense power within the Lingxiao Domain, instilling fear in countless people.

Whether it was attacking or defense, they were several to dozens of times stronger than the cultivators of the same Levels.

The key was that such overwhelming power was not considered cultivation abilities, and these Elites driving the battle puppets and wearing the black armor from the Galaxy Universe would eventually wait in certain Continent Domains.

Facing these powerhouses from the Galaxy Universe was an utterly terrifying prospect.

“Galaxy Battle Armor!” Chen Shaodong reached out to catch the black armor before him, feeling the surging power emanating from within, his face filled with surprise and delight.

Strong.

Unbelievably strong power.

The power contained within this battle armor could sweep through the current Lingxiao Domain, which was bereft of its experts.

Such a treasure, actually entrusted to him!

“Thank you, Master.”

With this piece of black armor, his combat strength would be able to suppress the elders of his own Lingxiao Sword Sect, as well as those unsettled forces from various parties.

This was the importance of the choice he had made.

Having chosen to accept Han Muye as the first honored guest of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, he was now finally reaping the rewards.

Generous rewards.

Those who felt Chen Shaodong lacked the spine of a sword cultivator for casually inviting an outsider into the sect.

Those who gossiped behind his back, claiming Chen Shaodong was utterly unfit to lead the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

After today, everything would change!

Gu Yue and Zhu Lie, the two elders who followed behind Chen Shaodong, along with several other Sword Immortal powerhouses, had expressions that shifted, all revealing joy.

For Gu Yue and the others, the fact that Chen Shaodong personally came to their rescue was already worth their loyalty.

As for Zhu Lie, watching from the side, Chen Shaodong’s decisiveness, responsibility, and unique vision made him the kind of person who, now backed by a powerhouse like Han Muye, was naturally someone he could ally with.

Han Muye turned his gaze toward Daqinei.

Daqinei trembled all over, bowing his head with a tense expression.

His fate was now decided by Han Muye’s hand.

“Hum—”

A Sage-level Battle Puppet descended.

Han Muye said indifferently, “Since you pledge allegiance to me, do not bring shame to my name.”

“You will help Lingxiao Sword Sect gather the foreign races,” his voice carried a hint of chill, his eyes filled with depth, “You don’t need me to tell you how to do it, do you?”

Gathering the foreign races.

Need instructions on how to do it?

“I understand.” Daqinei clasped his fist, suppressing the smile that couldn’t help but rise to his face.

With this battle puppet, his strength was already on par with Chen Shaodong.

Of course, within the Lingxiao Domain, he wouldn’t contend with Chen Shaodong; on the contrary, he would always yield to him.

But once they annex other Continent Domains, or even advance to a new Continent Domain, that would be a different story.

This Sage-level Battle Puppet was the foundation of his ascent.

Touching the battle puppet gently with his hand, Daqinei’s eyes sparkled.

It was incomprehensible how strong his master must be, to be able to casually give away such a powerful battle puppet.

How could such a person appear in the Lingxiao Domain?

Could it be that he already broke through the rules of the Ten Thousand Domains?

He didn’t know, but Daqinei knew he had to be even more careful and respectful towards the master before him.

…

Over a hundred thousand cultivators returned triumphantly to the Lingxiao Sword Sect’s base.

Countless cultivators joined them along the way.

Ten thousand miles outside Lingxiao Peak, both the Lingxiao Sword Sect and the various dependent forces at the foot of Lingxiao Peak came out to welcome them.

When Chen Shaodong appeared, tens of thousands of disciples of Lingxiao Sword Sect bowed and greeted the “acting sect master” with shouts that echoed to the clouds.

The prestige of the battle at Fortified Mountain spread quickly.

The cultivators in the Lingxiao Domain who were still watching began to converge towards the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

More sects that were holding their ground began to request aid from the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

The scattered foreign races quietly retreated at this time, daring not to attack forcefully anymore.

As the details of the battle at Fortified Mountain spread, various parties gained a clearer understanding of the Lingxiao Sword Sect’s strength.

The Lingxiao Domain remained stable as a rock with the Lingxiao Sword Sect present.

Didn’t you see that the Fortified Mountain—a place of absolute desperation that had stood for tens of thousands of years—was directly shattered?

Out of an army of three hundred thousand foreign soldiers, less than half managed to escape.

This battle ignited the morale of the Lingxiao Domain.

With the passing of half a month, a Lingxiao Sword Sect-led army of thirty thousand sword cultivators, in conjunction with five hundred thousand allied forces comprised of cultivators from other camps, launched a major counterattack in the Lingxiao Domain.

If it were merely a counteroffensive, it wouldn’t mean much to the tens of millions of foreign cultivators scattered around.

The strength disparity between the cultivators in the Lingxiao Domain and those Elites entering from the outer realm was too great.

But since the invaders from the outer realm were in disarray, with no single foreign race capable of gathering more than a hundred thousand cultivators.

The five hundred thousand army of the Lingxiao Domain swept through unimpeded, not facing a single obstacle.

The foreign cultivators who came to the Lingxiao Domain were here to temper themselves and search for Heavenly Beads—who would want to engage in a fight to the death with the Lingxiao Sword Sect for no reason?

For a time, among those foreign forces, apart from Daqinei who quietly gathered hundreds of thousands of cultivators and secured a territory, all others fled at the sight of the five hundred thousand strong Lingxiao Domain Allied Forces.

Three months later, several foreign forces finally joined forces and faced off against the large army from the Lingxiao Domain.
