Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...

Countless puppets suddenly leaped out from within the giant gate.

"Stop them." Mo Youu charged ahead, standing in front of the gate while shouting aloud.

Clang...

A sharp sword emitting a black glow instantly condensed.

It was indeed his Martial Soul, the Forget Sorrow Sword.

Mo Youu swung his sword, and the astonishing Sword Qi cut through effortlessly.

The puppets that rushed out didn’t even have time to attack before being dismembered by the Sword Qi.

However, the giant gate was over a hundred feet high and several dozen feet wide, and Mo Youu alone with one sword couldn’t possibly block all these torrents of puppets pouring out.

One, two, three... bypassed Mo Youu’s sword, rushing out of the gate.

At this time, a group of Black Cloud Academy disciples, apparently anticipating this, immediately sealed off the area around the gate.

With Mo Youu’s strength, guarding outside the gate alone, nearly 90% of the rushing puppets would be killed instantly.

The remaining 10%, even if they rushed out, couldn’t escape the encirclement of the Black Cloud Academy disciples.

Qing Lin, with one claw, instantly dismembered several puppets.

"Just a bunch of puppets with Peak of Saint Emperor Realm strength." Qing Lin sneered, extremely relaxed.

On the other side, a group of Heavenly Talents watched the puppets swarming out from the gate, all startled.

But seeing the Black Cloud Academy group block the puppet army, they breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when they saw the disciples of other Five Great Academy also guarding tightly around the five chiefs, they couldn’t help but show doubt.

"Black Cloud Academy and the Five Great Academy, did you already know what danger was inside the gate?" a Heavenly Talent asked.

A group of academy disciples remained silent.

Time gradually passed.

Two hours later.

Among the Black Cloud Academy disciples, Tong Ye said in a deep voice, "These Body Cultivation Puppets, no matter how we kill them, they just keep coming."

"Idiot." Qin Yi said, cursing softly, "These puppets are dead objects, within the power of the Ancient Emperor’s Mansion, they can’t be completely killed."

"You’re the idiot." Tong Ye retorted, "I meant, these puppets just keep coming, eventually we’ll be exhausted."

Qing Lin said in a deep voice, "We can only wait, wait for the other restrictions to be broken one by one."

Just at this moment.

Another burst sound came from a restriction being broken.

Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes and breathed out lightly.

In his mind, that illusion had been defeated by his single sword strike.

The Sword Dao Restriction on the giant gate in front had been broken.

His Sword Dao level was still too low, far inferior to his Fire Control Skill.

Otherwise, breaking this Sword Dao Restriction wouldn’t have taken so long.

Xiao Yi stood up, immediately noticing the anomaly on the Body Cultivation Restriction in the distance.

"So many Body Cultivation Puppets?" Xiao Yi frowned and then looked back at the giant gate in front of him.

"Young Master Xiao Yi." Guu Lianxing and others exclaimed and hesitated, "Inside the gate, there are also monsters..."

Dozens of Heavenly Talents showed startled expressions.

Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "Whether there are or not, the gate must be opened."

"Otherwise, how do we proceed?"

Yes, no matter the danger inside the gate, it must be opened eventually.

Xiao Yi stepped forward and slowly pushed open the giant gate.

Just as he pushed it open, a huge, terrifying beast hand came at him.

Xiao Yi was surprised, but he was also prepared, instantly condensing Purple Lightning in his hand.

Clang...

A clear sword chime pierced the air, and a Purple Lightning Sword Light flashed by.

The giant beast hand was instantly sliced off.

While behind Xiao Yi, a group of Heavenly Talents looked at the situation inside the gate, gasping once again.

Inside was a dense army of demon beasts.

From afar, a shout was heard.

"Junior Brother Xiao Yi, please make sure to stop these demon beasts."

Mo Youu, while blocking the Body Cultivation Giant Gate, looked towards Xiao Yi.

"Once these demon beasts rush out endlessly, it won’t take long for them to fill the main area."

"Then the other leaders won’t be able to comprehend the other restrictions."

"The main area won’t be breakable then."

Xiao Yi heard this, remained silent, but nodded.

Behind him, Guu Lianxing, Gongsun Huowu, and others mimicked the Black Cloud Academy disciples, surrounding the area around the giant gate.

As soon as a demon beast breached Xiao Yi’s blockade, they took action immediately.

"Hmm?" At the same time, from afar, a low hum came from the Black Cloud Academy side.

"These Ghost Puppets, why have they become stronger?"

It was Tong Ye speaking.

Tong Ye unleashed a Fire Blade into the air.

The Fire Blade struck the Body Cultivation Puppet, merely knocking it back a few steps.

One should know, previously, just one Fire Blade could knock the Body Cultivation Puppet flying.

In his perception, these Body Cultivation Puppets had all reached the level of approximately 9200 Saint Emperor Realm Peak.

Originally, those guarding the giant gate before Mo Youu could block 90% of the Body Cultivation Puppets, and only about ten could escape his blockade.

But now, 20 or 30 could escape his blockade.

Xiao Yi sensed likewise and furrowed his brows, "All reaching 9200 Saint Emperor Realm Peak strength."

...

In front of two giant gates, Mo Youu and Xiao Yi were both fiercely defending.

The tidal wave of Body Cultivation Puppets and demon beasts wasn’t too much trouble for them.

Another two hours later.

Bang... Over at First Yun, the restriction was broken first.

This time, Xiao Yi specially released his perception.

Indeed, under his powerful perception, he found the clue.

After the restriction on the giant gate of First Yun was broken, the restriction power didn’t really dissipate.

Instead, it transformed into an enhancement, affecting these Body Cultivation Puppets and demon beasts.

Xiao Yi clearly sensed that the demon beast army he was blocking reached 9400 Saint Emperor Realm Peak strength, just one step away from Martial Arts Great Power.

At the same time.

First Yun pushed open the giant gate, inside was also a dense army of fierce demon beasts.

A giant beast hand reached straight for his head.

First Yun, being a genius Demon Hunter, naturally reacted swiftly, instantly dodging and then striking with a palm.

The demon beast was killed on the spot.

Yet the dense army of demon beasts inside still startled him.

"Hah." First Yun shouted, bursting forth with momentum.

Although his strength didn’t match Mo Youu and Xiao Yi, he was after all a professional Demon Hunter, adept at handling the situation.

Of course, such a dense, locust-like army of demon beasts wasn’t something he could completely block.

After all, there would be a few demon beasts breaching his defense.

The Heavenly Talents behind, already prepared, swiftly helped to slay them.

Xiao Yi pondered in secret.

If his perception earlier was correct, then the way this is developing, the strength of these demon beasts would reach very high levels.

By then, it would undoubtedly be troublesome.

Indeed.

Just a few minutes after First Yun broke the restriction, Zhangsun Chilie also broke a restriction.

"It’s here." Xiao Yi swept his perception over.

The Puppet side over at Black Cloud Academy instantly surged to Martial Arts Great Power strength.

The demon beast army on his side, likewise.

Demon beasts with Martial Arts Great Power strength were not something ordinary top Heavenly Talents could withstand.

...

Fifth update. (Explosion)
