Chapter 242: Blood-Energy Puppet Armor!
“Jiangxin, if even one Soul-Devouring Tree Demon escapes, I will throw you back into the furnace for reforging.”
He looked at the tragic state of Tiangong Island.
Lu Qingyang stood above the sky.
His tone held no emotion whatsoever.
But even Jiangxin could hear the sky-shaking killing intent contained within his voice.
“Beep… beep beep, acknowledged, Master!”
Jiangxin’s voice trembled slightly.
The furious Lu Qingyang made even an Artifact Spirit like it feel fear.
“Chaotian disciples, go rescue our kin at once.”
Lu Qingyang’s divine sense swept across Tiangong Island.
Naturally, he detected that there were still some human cultivators and mortals being kept captive on the island.
Hearing this, those Chaotian disciples, already filled with fury, immediately charged into Tiangong Island.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
For a time, all kinds of spells and talismans flew through the air, intending to rescue those kin.
A hundred thousand Chaotian disciples, plus Puppets of every rank, were thrown into the battlefield.
It took almost less than a single hour.
The Soul-Devouring Tree Demons across the entire Tiangong Island were all slain.
Only a scant few fish that had slipped through the net remained, fleeing into the deep sea.
And to avoid being thrown back into the furnace for reforging.
Jiangxin even deployed the Chaotian Sect’s accumulated wealth.
Sending out four Ninth-Rank Puppets that had been refined in the Demon Domain over the years!
To thoroughly slay those Soul-Devouring Tree Demons within the sea!
…
“Re… reporting, Master, all Soul-Devouring Tree Demons have been slain.”
“None escaped!”
An hour later, Jiangxin respectfully reported to Lu Qingyang.
Listening to Jiangxin’s words, Lu Qingyang said nothing.
He looked at Tiangong Island, now like a Shura hell.
He was silent.
Lu Qingyang, in his past life, had been nothing but an ordinary person from Blue Star.
But at least nine years of compulsory education had given him a correct set of values.
He could not and would not watch cultivators and mortals who were fellow humans die at the hands of alien beings.
It was not that he was a saint, but as a human, one should not allow such things.
At the very least, if he saw it, he could not stand by.
“Jiangxin, were these cultivators and mortals originally the subjects living near my Tiangong Island?”
After a long while, Lu Qingyang slowly spoke.
“Beep beep, after searching, these humans are not original subjects of Tiangong Island.”
“Most likely… they are refugees captured from Qingnan Shengzhou.”
Hearing Jiangxin’s answer, the coldness in Lu Qingyang’s eyes deepened.
Tiangong Island had originally been home to three hundred thousand mortal civilians.
Yet these surviving mortals were not among them.
The fate of those original three hundred thousand civilians was obvious…
“Mas… Master, shall we begin rebuilding Tiangong Island?”
Seeing that Lu Qingyang had not spoken for a long time, Jiangxin could not help but speak.
“Rebuild Tiangong Island?”
Lu Qingyang murmured to himself. “No need. This place no longer has any meaning.”
After saying this, Lu Qingyang turned and left.
Leaving Jiangxin with a face full of shock.
It did not know what had happened.
“Master?”
Seeing Lu Qingyang vanish, Jiangxin spoke again.
But the only response was a receding silhouette.
Several breaths later, Lu Qingyang’s voice rang out grandly from the massive star-body of the Chaotian Palace.
“All disciples, board the ships.”
“Target, the Northern Region Great Wall. Low-speed advance.”
“On this journey, we slay demons!”
Lu Qingyang’s voice spread across the entire Tiangong Island.
“We obey the Sect Master’s command!”
“We obey the Sect Master’s command!”
“We obey the Sect Master’s command!”
“…”
All the disciples on Tiangong Island shouted in unison.
For a time, the voices of the Chaotian disciples echoed across the entire Tiangong Island.
Lu Qingyang’s original plan had been to head straight for the Northern Region Great Wall upon returning.
First, go capture that dragon and make it a mount.
But after seeing the tragic state of Tiangong Island, he changed his mind.
He was going to slaughter his way to the Northern Region Great Wall.
First, to collect a bit more interest for himself.
Second, to rescue some of his fellow kin along the way.
But none of that was the most important.
The most important thing was that he would use action to tell that Sinful Dragon.
He, was back for blood!
He would let the Demon Race of the Northern Region Great Wall know what fear meant!
And as the Chaotian Sect’s fleet set out once more.
The human civilians of Tiangong Island followed behind them.
Jiangxin released the stored Dharma Ships.
And also adjusted the production line, expanding the Thirty-Three Heavens mothership yet again.
To accommodate these humans.
By now, it had already been cultivated to the Ninth Heaven!
Enough to hold a million people.
At the same time, to avoid feeding these mortals for nothing.
Lu Qingyang specially refined a spiritual-power Puppet that even mortals could operate.
Except its power source was no longer spirit stones, but demon beast blood!
“Bzzz bzzz~”
Within the Chaotian Palace.
Lu Qingyang looked at the ceaselessly boiling demon blood.
His eyes gleamed.
I never imagined that the energy contained in this Demon Race blood would be so much higher than what they called petroleum in my past life.
And the higher the rank of the demon blood, the greater the energy!
Most importantly, this demon blood carries innate demonic power, fully capable of operating Dharma Artifacts and Spirit Armor.
This saves me quite a bit of trouble.
Looking at the boiling demon blood.
Lu Qingyang’s fingers danced, and a humanoid mecha seven or eight meters tall, pitch-black throughout, appeared before him.
Just like a Gundam mecha from his past life.
Originally, Lu Qingyang had not wanted to refine this thing so large and bulky.
But considering that mortals had no spiritual power.
And that mechanical components refined from numerous spiritual ores were needed to drive the demon blood.
In the end, he could only refine it this big.
And after replacing the power source, perhaps this thing should no longer be called a spiritual-power Puppet.
Blood-Energy Puppet Armor was perhaps more fitting.
“Come!”
Lu Qingyang extended his hand, summoning the Blood-Energy Puppet Armor, and sat inside the cockpit.
Instantly, dense blood qi surged from the massive Blood-Energy Puppet Armor, burning like flame!
“Boom!”
In the next instant, the aura of the Blood-Energy Puppet Armor climbed steadily, instantly reaching the realm of a Golden Core True Monarch.
After all, at this moment, Lu Qingyang had completely sealed his own cultivation.
This aura was entirely emitted by the Blood-Energy Puppet Armor. Not bad, the blood of a Third-Rank great demon is fully capable of driving combat power comparable to a Golden Core!
But the demonic qi within this blood is too dense. An ordinary mortal body likely could not withstand it.
I need to add a protective layer.
Lu Qingyang thought, and casually broke through his cultivation seal.
Drawing out spiritual materials, in mid-air, he refined in the blink of an eye a Dharma Artifact shaped like a protective suit!
“Now let’s try again.”
Lu Qingyang put on the Dharma robe shaped like a protective suit.
Then he pressed a circular device on his chest, like a lighter.
Instantly, the power core of the Blood-Energy Puppet Armor was activated.
Rolling demon blood boiled and burned!
The massive Blood-Energy Puppet Armor activated once more.
And this time, the dense demonic qi within the demon blood, after entering the cockpit, had not the slightest effect on Lu Qingyang.
“Done!”
Seeing this, a satisfied expression appeared at the corner of Lu Qingyang’s mouth.
Then he summoned Jiangxin.
“Jiangxin, adjust the production line!”
“Produce a batch of Blood-Energy Puppet Armor, from the First to the Ninth Rank.”
“Give every one of those mortals a set of First-Rank Blood-Energy Puppet Armor.”
“Tell them, taking revenge with your own hands is the most satisfying.”
“As for… higher-rank Blood-Energy Puppet Armor, have them earn merit to exchange for it!”
“Also, demon blood counts as a consumable. It too must be exchanged with merit!”
One command after another was announced from Lu Qingyang’s mouth.
And he had no idea what kind of massive impact today’s actions would have on the cultivation world of later generations…
