Chapter 1047: Tianyang Immortal Battle Puppet

"Do I need you to remind me? Those little rascals were locked up as soon as they returned. It's just that we haven't gotten any results from the interrogation yet," Zhou said flatly.

Li Fan emerged from the Lesser World of Transmitter Zhou, appearing instead at the border of Tianquan Prefecture.

Glancing in the direction of the Nether Prison not far away, Li Fan eventually slowly withdrew his gaze.

"There will be a chance to go down and see eventually. No rush for now."

He then sped towards the Spiritwood Realm.

"Junior Brother, no one's following us, right?"

After flying for a while, Li Fan suddenly asked in his mind.

Instantly, a layer of transparent, angular armor materialized on him, fully encasing Li Fan's body.

Tian Yang's voice came from the armor: "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I've severed the two tracking divine senses. And I also gave them a small warning."

Compared to five years ago, Tian Yang's voice was now much more lively.

The after-effects of becoming a puppet were completely removed, making him indistinguishable from a normal cultivator.

All these changes were brought about by this immortal-grade battle puppet.

This battle puppet, or rather, battle armor, was precisely Li Fan's confidence to venture alone into the meeting and directly confront the two Transmitters.

After being tricked by Mo Rubin, Li Fan was greatly provoked.

He then passed this pressure onto everyone in the Spiritwood Realm.

Not only did Artisan Layman perform exceptionally, completing the creation of the immortal-grade puppet in just five years, but the Medicine King Sect also produced frequent breakthroughs, greatly satisfying Li Fan. However, this shall be briefly omitted for now.

After his complete transformation, Tian Yang's strength underwent a tremendous change.

Even if Li Fan used all his strength, he couldn't even break its defense.

His divine abilities, such as Soul-Stripping and Life-Sapping, Five Elements Nirvana Sword, and so on, couldn't affect Tian Yang in the slightest.

Even mental attacks were like clay oxen entering the sea, failing to make the slightest ripple.

Only the replicated 'Chaos Decree' could cause trouble for Tian Yang.

But that was the extent of it.

With the transcendent power of Source Essence as its core drive, Tian Yang's current strength was absolutely no weaker than that of a New Law Immortal in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Perhaps its offensive capabilities were lacking, but its immortal-grade puppet body was here. Even if defeated, it could only be suppressed, not destroyed.

With Tian Yang, a puppet comparable to an Immortal, transformed into armor for protection, how could Li Fan possibly care about mere two Transmitters?

If it weren't for the unexpected news that Mo Rubin secretly controlled the entire Myriad Immortals Alliance, Li Fan had originally even planned to directly capture and subdue these two Transmitters.

The protection provided by Tian Yang was comprehensive. Not only physically, but even spiritual attacks would first need to disintegrate Tian Yang's spiritual will before they could harm Li Fan.

How powerful was Tian Yang's will?

Even during his Foundation Establishment stage, his crystallized will could remain indestructible for thousands of years, transforming into an eternal remnant thought. Now, after becoming an immortal-grade puppet, it had further sublimated, leaving Li Fan feeling inferior.

In short, only while protected by Tian Yang's armor did Li Fan feel an unprecedented sense of security.

Even if he were to directly confront Mo Rubin at this moment, he would be filled with confidence and utterly fearless.

Tian Yang, carrying Li Fan, quickly returned to the Spiritwood Realm.

Five years had passed, and the Spiritwood Realm had undergone significant changes once again.

The various Lesser Worlds previously connected to the Spiritwood Realm via spatial channels—such as the Li Realm, the Empire, and the Beastkin Realm—had slowly begun to merge with the Spiritwood Realm.

Li Fan, by feigning to deceive the Heavenly Dao and observing the Xuanhuang Realm's merging and piecing together of other cultivation realms, had comprehended the method of world devouring and fusion.

However, with his current strength, achieving the Xuanhuang Realm's level of integration was still a bit challenging.

He could only find an alternative approach through array refinement.

From a macroscopic perspective, the current Spiritwood Realm resembled a grotesque monster onto which many lesser worlds had been grafted.

However, aesthetics had never been Li Fan's focus; utility was all that mattered.

Besides, this was Li Fan's first attempt. Practice makes perfect, and he believed that his "fabrication" and world fusion techniques would only improve with time.

In addition to the changes within the Spiritwood Realm itself, the Myriad Worlds Alliance had also been subdivided into several different departments based on their functions.

It truly had taken shape, no longer just an empty framework.

There was the Alchemy Department, built upon the foundation of the former Medicine King Sect members.

The Artifact Forging Department, primarily composed of Artisan Layman, Fang Zaiji, and numerous apprentices.

The Nether Exploration Department, led by Li Qing's clone and supported by the elite death squads selected from various Lesser Worlds.

And the Truth-Seeking Department, mainly consisting of talented young cultivators like Shanhe Xuan.

The organization was now established, presenting a magnificent and vibrant scene.

Li Fan did not disturb them; instead, he went directly to a vast space that had later been opened up beside the underground secret chamber.

This space was currently known only to him, and its surroundings were protected by multicolored divine light.

Li Fan named this as-yet-unformed department the "World Annihilation" Department.

As its name suggested, the cultivators in this department would, in the future, be tasked with researching various methods capable of destroying the Xuanhuang Realm.

This was truly shocking, so even though the cultivators in the Alliance were absolutely subservient to Li Fan, he had temporarily kept the existence of this department secret from them.

"It seems I'll only be able to find those who are similarly extreme."

"The Xuanhuang Realm is so vast; if I truly search, I'm sure to find them."

As Li Fan thought, he looked at the items wrapped in multicolored light clusters within the World Annihilation space.

Most of them were gray mold spots cultivated over the past five years, prepared for unforeseen circumstances.

But there were also some new things.

Li Fan reached out, and a cluster of seemingly faded multicolored light feebly flew into his hand.

"'Fentian Arrow'..."

"After feigning to deceive the Heavenly Dao and clearly understanding the power of the bizarre, I can finally replicate it."

The Fentian Arrow was the ultimate item used by cultivators of the Heavenly Alliance in previous cycles of reincarnation to resist the Xuan Net.

It utilized bizarre destructive power to inflict localized damage upon the Xuan Net.

Now, with the Heavenly Profound Mirror not having replaced the heavens, the Fentian Arrow's effect was to cause widespread outbreaks of the bizarre and lead to the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao losing control.

The bizarre power of the Fentian Arrow was not generated by Li Fan himself.

Instead, he personally went to areas where bizarre outbreaks occurred, collecting it bit by bit. He then wrapped and sealed it with multicolored divine light.

Each use meant one less available.

However, considering the current high frequency of bizarre outbreaks in the Xuanhuang Realm, there was no need to worry about scarcity for now.

Besides the Fentian Arrow, another major weapon in the World Annihilation space was the Chaos Decree.

Drawing upon the experience of automatic self-detonation from his 115th life and receiving improvement ideas from Artisan Layman.

The Chaos Decree was inscribed within the puppet's body and possessed a certain degree of intelligence.

It could explode the Chaos Decree at a designated location and time, according to Li Fan's instructions.

What's more, the puppet had an inherent ability to interfere with karma.

This made it exceptionally difficult to pinpoint the mastermind behind it through divination.
