Chapter 321: Chapter 321- The Huge Statue and the Demonic Puppet

Yang Chen silently observed the demonic beast without commenting. He could rely on the [Map] function of the Greedvil system to also find his way. However, he chose to keep silent and see what this White Half-cat Half fox was capable of.

Yun didn’t keep them waiting for long, after brushing its whiskers, it pointed with its claws at one of the corridors.

"Head over there. This entire place is a huge labyrinth; unless one steps onto the right path, one would be meandering around lost".

Yang Chen and Tang Xun’er immediately headed for the corridor the demonic spirit mentioned.

The way was dark and narrow with no sight of people or any light coming from the other end. Clearly, the other practitioners didn’t use this path. However, the two of them didn’t doubt Yun’s words.

Since the demonic spirit said that there was something ahead of this path, there has to be something.

The walk lasted for a while before Yang Chen’s [Ethereal Vision Technique] finally picked up something.

"The end of the tunnel is just up ahead" Saying that, he picked up his pace. Tang Xun’er, following next to him, did the same.

"This is?!!" Arriving at a huge hall, the trio were shocked to find a giant statue standing at the end of the hall. It had a tyrannical design that made one gasp at its majesty. At the forehead of the statue, there was an odd jewel that shone with a brilliant radiance.

"Yang Chen, look at the foot of the statue, there seems to be someone there" Tang Xun’er suddenly pointed out. The latter followed the direction she was pointing at and was shocked to find someone indeed standing there.

"How can that be?"

Previously, he had checked with his [Ethereal Vision Technique] and there was no one else who took the route that they did. Yet there was clearly someone right in front of them.

"Look carefully, it’s not a practitioner" Yun shook his head, looking at the figure underneath the giant statue with dire eyes.

"If it’s not a practitioner, than what is it?" Tang Xun’er tilted her head.

"It’s an abominable thing... a Demonic Puppet"...

"A demonic puppet?"

The demonic spirit explained, "Demonic Puppets as the name suggests, are puppets with faux lives. They are extremely sturdy, do not feel pain and since they have no will of their own, they only execute orders. In short, they are weapons made specifically for battle"...

"However, that is just the surface of it. A Demonic Puppet is an extremely cruel thing and is made by extracting the soul from an actual living practitioner. The soul of the practitioner dies; however, the body that is the husk, becomes the puppet. What’s more, given the strength of the puppet there, hundreds of practitioners must have been sacrificed to strengthen that thing".

Yang Chen and Tag Xun’er stared with wide eyes at the demonic puppet. This was their first time hearing about something like this.

"How can that be? Why would someone do something like that?" The latter was saddened by the cold reality.

"It’s not uncommon. In fact, in the ancient times, the Demonic Sects were quite avid in using them. However, what I don’t understand is what is one doing here".

While Tang Xun’er and her demonic spirit were having their own conversation, in another corner, Yang Chen was having thoughts of his own.

"Would you look at that? This is quite an interesting find," Amon commented.

"What’s so interesting about it. From what Yun said, these things are quite abhorred in the world"...

"Of course they are, but more than that, they are feared. A demonic puppet, in essence, is the most perfect weapon. If you can control one, your overall combat power will soar"..

"What?" Yang Chen arched his brows, seemingly interested.

"Hehe, in the ancient times, the demonic puppets were terrifying objects that struck fear in even the most strongest of the practitioners. Not only for the cruel method of creation, but a Demonic Puppet’s ability to keep on battling without fatigue or feeling pain, is what makes them formidable"...

"Of course, the one in front of us is quite damaged and cannot be compared to the ones from the ancient times, but it is still strong for your current level. I reckon this one can easily fight with a Late Stage Battle Overlord realm practitioners"...

"It’s that strong?"...

"Of course. But a Demonic Puppet’s forte is not offence but defence. This one can even lock down two or three late stage battle overlords in a battle".

When Yang Chen heard that, his eyes shone with a fervent light. Currently, his combat prowess after accounting all of his battle skills was around eight or nine star battle grandmaster level max.

Opponents beyond that were impossible for him to currently handle. Although he might not be completely helpless against them, his chances weren’t that great. However, that all changes if he manages to get his hands on the demonic puppet in front of him.

"How do I make it my own?" Yang Chen questioned.

"You will need to learn a forbidden dark type battle skill. That said, are you planning to make the Demonic Puppet your own?" Amon opened the shop and quickly sorted out a few battle skills catering to their current situation from the shop.

"There is no reason for me to pass up on a treasure sitting right in front of me".

"This seems to be some kind of a trial. If we want to proceed forward, we have to solve the mystery of this hall" Yun studied the place, pointing at the giant statue and the demonic puppet underneath it.

There was a stone door behind. However, from the way things looked, it didn’t seem like it would budge with just force.

"The jewel on the statue, it appears to have been dislocated" Tang Xun’er observed.

The gigantic statue had one of its hands outstretched directly above the demonic puppet who was restrained by eight pillars, each connected by a chain. The chains were positioned so that they stop all of the puppet’s movements.
