Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Chapter 152 : The Battle Against the Nascent Soul Puppet

Bang! Bang!

The Golden Core Puppet tried to stand and escape from Su Yen's onslaught, but how would Su Yen allow it? However, Su Yen still underestimated the power of a Golden Core cultivator.

Suddenly, a powerful shield formed around the puppet, blocking the incoming attack. Blocking the attack, the puppet disappeared from its original position.

"Shit!" Su Yen cursed, and all the hair on his body stood straight.

He wanted to escape, as his instinct was screaming of danger.

Bang!

A powerful blow slammed into his chest. He hit the wall and spewed out mouthfuls of blood.

His head was fuzzy, and he was dizzy. Before recovering from the attack, another powerful force came crashing toward him.

Bang!

Ah!

A miserable scream escaped from his mouth as the sound of bones breaking echoed in the room.

Almost half of his chest bones had been shattered to pieces. His organs almost turned to paste.

His face was pallid.

His breathing was erratic, and he was trying very hard to maintain consciousness.

He bit the corner of his lips, forcing himself to stay conscious.

The puppet looked at Su Yen and realized he was still alive. It gathered more power and attacked.

Whoosh!

The whistling sound of the punch sent shivers down his spine. His instinct was screaming of death.

Su Yen refused to die just like that. He looked at the fast-approaching punch and thought.

'I don't want to depend on the pagoda bloodline…'

'It seems I can't help it…' He sighed and closed his eyes.

When he opened them, things changed.

The raging incoming attack slowed down, crawling toward him.

Su Yen stood up slowly and dusted himself off, looking at the puppet.

"Since things have come to this… Let's go all out then," he mused.

Meanwhile, if the puppet could have a facial expression, its jaw would have dropped with wide eyes.

Perhaps, it would have cursed. 'What the heck!'

Su Yen avoided the attack and appeared in front of the puppet.

The Golden Core aura coming from the puppet was easily suppressed. It shook vehemently and wanted to attack Su Yen but found it impossible to move an inch.

Su Yen didn't bother to waste time and attacked.

His sword covered in sword aura.

Bang!

The puppet was flung backward, cleaved into two. It didn't stand a chance at all.

Instantly, the puppet disappeared from the room, and Su Yen let out a sigh of relief.

However, he knew this was not the end. Thus, he prepared for the next arrival of the puppet.

Whoosh!

Eight Peak Golden Core Puppets appeared right in front of him.

Su Yen didn't even bat an eye at them. To him, there wasn't any difference between Intermediate and Peak Golden Core realm.

The pagoda bloodline ignored the sub-level and handled every realm the same.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

For a couple of seconds, the terrifying sound of Su Yen's sword cleaving the puppets into pieces echoed in the room.

After a couple of seconds, the room was devoid of any puppets, and Su Yen resumed his rest.

He looked in the direction where the puppets normally appeared, but for the next couple of minutes, there weren't any puppets.

'What! Is that it?' He creased his brow.

"Have I completed the test or whatever this is?"

"Where is the exit then?" His eyes searched for any possible exit but found none.

As he was trying to understand what was happening, the temperature inside the room dropped a couple of degrees.

Slowly, a fiery red puppet appeared inside the room.

The Nascent Soul Puppet stood before Su Yen, a fearsome creation of immortal essence and spiritual power.

Its appearance was both awe-inspiring and terrifying, a manifestation of cultivation that surpassed mortal limits.

The puppet exuded an otherworldly aura, and its form seemed to flicker with ethereal flames, as if harnessed from the very core of the heavens.

The glow emanating from its Nascent Soul was an intense, fiery red that painted the room in a surreal light.

Its features, though carved from lifeless materials, bore an uncanny resemblance to the countenance of a divine being.

The eyes, cold and inscrutable, gleamed with an intelligence that transcended the physical realm.

The puppet's facial expression seemed to shift, as if harboring an ancient wisdom that silently judged the mortals before it.

Su Yen, in the presence of this Nascent Soul Puppet, felt a visceral fear grip his very essence.

The puppet's aura pressed down on him like an immeasurable weight, causing his heart to race in a symphony of fear.

The air became thick with a palpable tension, and even his breath seemed hesitant in the face of such an overwhelming force.

His heart skipped, pounding against his chest. His instinct was to cower in fear, but the pagoda bloodline vibrated, and the soul pressure he was feeling disappeared.

Hmm!

A light hum came from the puppet as if it was surprised by Su Yen being able to withstand its pressure.

There was a qualitative change between Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivator.

Every cultivator below Nascent Soul was considered weak and yet to step into real immortal cultivation.

Cultivators below Nascent Soul cultivated their bodies, but in Nascent Soul realm, it's different.

Cultivators cultivate both their soul and body. Their soul needs to be cleansed by the Nascent Soul tribulation lightning.

Most cultivators fail in this process, since overcoming the tribulation was not an easy feat.

Any cultivator that luckily overcomes the tribulation would become an overlord. Its power wouldn't conform to the mortal realm.

They would be able to traverse between space and open a portal. Their battle was so mighty that they could obliterate thousands of Golden Core with a casual wave of their hands.

No Golden Core would dare face a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Furthermore, when killed, their soul could leave their body.

Apart from that, they could use the power of principle.

Therefore, a Nascent Soul cultivator was a mighty existence in the Lotus world.

And now, Su Yen was facing such an existence without laying down flat in trepidation.

Su Yen and the Nascent Soul puppet looked at each other without attacking.

'Why do I feel this puppet was more lifelike than the others?' He thought with a slight shock in his heart.

Suddenly, the puppet attacked.

Su Yen didn't dare underestimate the puppet and summoned his bloodline power.

Instantly, a Phantom Pagoda appeared behind him. Just as the phantom appeared, an illusory palm attack emerged out of the void, right in front of his face.

Su Yen's heart pounded heavily against his chest, as if wanting to jump out. He had not been this scared in his life.
