Chapter 130 - Corpse Puppet (2/2)

This was a language produced by someone who possessed an Astral Soul!

The method was named the Phantom Monarch Method. One would cultivate their soul form into a phantom, which could exit the body, possess other bodies, consume and transform other souls into lesser phantoms. They could even evolve into a phantasm!

”It wanted to turn me into a phantom?!” He was shocked, his back dripping in cold sweat at the thought, silently cursing Pinaka for her inappropriate reasoning. Sure, she was right, the moat was an irrelevant piece, but the door had a trap! Anyone who attempted to enter the door would be struck by a beam of crimson light that'd infect and transform their soul into a freaking phantom!

The corpse puppet remained standing beside the door, completely inactive and awaiting orders.

”Go!” A powerful, tyrannical voice shouted out as a cultivation base equivalent to the late-True Essence Realm erupted. A dashing middle-aged man dressed in a black and white robe flew towards the door with blinding speed His group followed behind as if under some pre-decided course of action. This event caused everyone's eyes to flare up in realization, and they took action immediately lest they be late.

If the corpse puppet was fine, then the moat was safe! They just needed to open the door!

Some people stayed behind, not willing to be the first to enter. In truth, their actions could be considered intelligent and would've kept them alive if Yan Zaizen hadn't devoured the crimson light. Initially, it was supposed to infect someone and return, but since it was thoroughly consumed, there were no defenses left on the door.

Blasting past the corpse puppet, the late-True Essence expert launched a palm containing a ferocious might. A manifestation of a large dark silver palm slammed heavily into the entrance. Almost immediately, it exploded, revealing a set of wide stairs that led down below. The man had no hesitation as his body soared downwards into the depths. In an instant, he disappeared into the stairs darkness. His allies followed behind decisively, gritting their teeth and praying.

Soon, the entire stairs were flooded with experts of all sizes. Some flew at maximum speed, others flew modestly behind in caution, and a few waited.

”Let's go!” Guàn Cui thunderously ordered. Her mid-True Essence cultivation base erupting in an elegant cyan light, a single step from her took her into the entrance and then into the stairs. The rest followed behind with zero hesitations. As for Yan Zaizen, he felt odd but kept up. As he approached the entrance, he grabbed the corpse puppet and restored it into the Meteor Ring.

Tang Li spoke, ”The Asura Phantom Palace has seven floors! Be cautious, it's likely we'll have to deal with remnant defensive formations at each floor.”

The Asura Phantom Palace was known to have seven floors, each with a corresponding theme. Each floor has their own halls, locations, and various other areas. The deeper one goes, the higher the benefits will likely be. However, one would still have to reach that floor! Luckily, it's been nearly 50,000 years since the Asura Phantom Palace has perished, and many of the formations were likely eroded by time and lack of maintenance.

It wasn't long before they arrived at the first floor. The room was wide and circular, very reminiscent of the Anima Syndicate's Main Floor. However, it didn't lead to any corridors. Instead, there was a vast empty space and a singular door that stood at the end of the entrance. The room could fit the giants that were hundreds of meters. The entrance to exit covered about several li of distance, but to them, this was a single step.

But nobody took a step forward.

The reason was simple.

A single metallic humanoid figure stood there, patiently, with closed eyes and two long swords in its hands. Not only that, it had several faces, similar to an asura. The metal was deep red like the color of fresh blood, and it gave off a strange yet odd feeling to all those who saw it.

It, alone, stood between the entrance and door to the other side.
