Peerless Sovereign

Su Lie looked in front of him, at the formation-type puppet that had just struggled free from the yellow crystal wall.    

This seemed to have broken the previous pattern.    

But Su Lie woke up from his stupor in an instant and his expression became more and more solemn.    

The strength of the formation-type puppet in this corridor was getting stronger and stronger, and there was only one formation-type puppet here, that could only mean one thing. This formation-type puppet was very strong, maybe, it was even stronger than the five formation-type puppet at the second level of the Revealing Astral Realm combined.    

If it was really like that, then this formation-type puppet would definitely be ranked in the top fifty of the Inner Sect's Heavenly Rankings.    

"The methods of the experts from the Yuan Sect are indeed outstanding!"    

Su Lie also exclaimed in his heart.    

If this was outside, then among some of the middle-level clans, there would be people with the strength of the Ancestor Realm, and even those with the strength of the Ancestor Realm wouldn't be able to accomplish such a feat.    

Su Lie couldn't help but feel some anticipation towards the inheritance left behind by the owner of this ruin. Maybe it would bring him some surprises.    

The shape of the formation-type puppet was also different from before.    

The formation-type puppet was dressed in a long robe and held a three feet long green blade in its hands. Its long hair fluttered in the wind, and it carried a faint trace of an otherworldly aura.    

Su Lie looked at the yellow crystal walls on both sides of the wooden corridor and his face revealed a trace of surprise.    

The array formation in the corridor was not simple, it should have at least reached the seventh stage, which was no lower than that of the Tianyuan Battlefield. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for such a puppet to appear.    

Su Lie stared fixedly at the formation-type puppet, and all the Yuan Power in his body started to move unreservedly.    

"Swoosh!"    

The formation-type puppet moved, its speed was extremely fast, just as it moved, it created an afterimage behind it, its speed was not slower than Su Lie.    

With a small shake of its arm, the longsword in its hand instantly turned blurry. With a flick of its wrist, dozens of sword lights shot out explosively.    

"This is a martial art?"    

Su Lie's eyes could not help but glaze over slightly.    

This was unbelievable, the formation-type puppet actually knew martial arts, and it was extremely profound.    

Su Lie no longer dared to be careless. He abruptly gripped his hand and a light circulated around his body. The Astral Battle Armor instantly condensed and enveloped his entire body.    

He naturally wouldn't miss the chance to train himself, but he didn't want to take the risk either.    

This formation-type puppet looked so extraordinary that Su Lie couldn't see through it. He didn't know how strong it was.    

After the Astral Battle Armor appeared, Su Lie stomped his feet once and instantly rushed out as well. As his arm slightly leaned back, the Qiankun Pen suddenly smashed down angrily towards the center of the sword aura.    

"Dang, dang, dang, dang …"    

A series of clanging sounds of metals clashing echoed in an instant.    

"So powerful!"    

Su Lie's arm went numb and he stepped back slightly.    

He had used all the strength in his body in one strike, but it was all easily resolved by the formation-type puppet. Moreover, the faintly spreading recoil caused his vital energy and blood to fluctuate.    

"No matter how strong you are, you are still just a formation-type puppet!"    

Su Lie clenched his teeth and once again rushed out. He swung the Qiankun Pen and fought the formation-type puppet.    

Although Su Lie did his best to overestimate that formation-type puppet, he still seemed to have underestimated it.    

The formation-type puppet should have the strength of the third level of Revealing Astral Realm, but it had grasped an extremely profound sword technique. Its true combat strength should be enough to rival an ordinary expert of the fourth level of Revealing Astral Realm, and its strength was almost on par with him.    

This battle was extremely difficult. Although Su Lie had used the Astral Battle Armor and it was difficult for the formation-type puppet to injure him, Su Lie's attacks were completely neutralized by the formation-type puppet's profound formation. It was impossible for Su Lie to injure it.    

In the wooden corridor, the sword qi was crisscrossing and extremely sharp. The brush shadows were heavy and the wind whistled. Su Lie and the formation-type puppet were battling bitterly.    

Su Lie had already treated the formation-type puppet as an expert of the same level as he used all his strength.    

The Astral Battle Armor had already been hit by the formation-type puppet who knows how many times, which made Su Lie sweat a little. If it wasn't for the Astral Battle Armor, he would have definitely been severely injured by it.    

Compared to the exquisite sword techniques that the formation-type puppet possessed, his attacks seemed to be extremely crude.    

"After I return this time, I must think of a way to obtain a powerful martial art no matter what."    

Su Lie became ruthless in his heart.    

The martial arts used by the formation-type puppet were even more exquisite than his own.    

Astral Battle Armor were indeed powerful. Although they were struck by formation-type puppet again and again, leaving behind sword slashes, in an instant, the Astral Battle Armor would be replenished with the elemental energy from the 36 Celestial Star Acupoints and recover to its original state.    

The battle was very intense, and Su Lie was also in a rather sorry state. He was steadily being suppressed by the formation-type puppet's exquisite sword techniques.    

As the two fought in the wooden corridor, two figures flashed as they moved back and forth. In the end, the entire wooden corridor became their battlefield.    

Although it had intelligence, it was still extremely limited. When Su Lie went crazy and relied on the Astral Battle Armor to forcefully take on its sword moves, it finally made a mistake when it arrived in front of it.    

Su Lie immediately retracted his Qiankun Pen. Both of his hands grabbed onto its arms, imprisoning it within. Then, his legs, knees, and legs … It struck at the monster's body headlessly.    

The formation-type puppet finally could not hold on any longer, and the light around its body started to flicker crazily, slowly fading away.    

A few minutes later, Su Lie's knee slammed into its abdomen, causing its body to crack and a crack to spread out from its body.    

Su Lie's heart was filled with joy. Both of his hands suddenly exerted force and pulled its body up. Carrying it over his shoulder, he madly smashed it towards the crystal walls on both sides of the wooden corridor.    

"Bam!"    

"Bam!"    

The powerful force struck the crystal wall, causing it to tremble slightly.    

"Pfft!"    

After continuously smashing seven or eight times, the formation-type puppet's head exploded. Su Lie's hands also suddenly lightened as the formation-type puppet turned into fragments of light and gradually disappeared.    

"It has finally been settled!"    

Su Lie's hands loosened and he sat down in the middle of the wooden corridor, gasping for air.    

This battle was simply too difficult. After an hour of fighting, he had also used up a lot of energy.    

Su Lie's evaluation of the formation-type puppet was still a little low. If this formation-type puppet appeared on the Heavenly Rankings in the Inner Sect, it would definitely be enough to fight its way to the top 30. It might even be higher than his ranking.    

That sword technique was indeed incomparably marvelous.    

"If only I could obtain that sword technique …"    

Su Lie couldn't help but think in his heart.    

It was not impossible.    

From the relic Secret Key left behind by the relic master, it could be seen that this relic master seemed to have some sort of preference for swords. It was very possible that the inheritance he left behind contained some exquisite sword techniques.    

As Su Lie killed the formation-type puppet, a yellow light circulated on the small bronze door at the end of the wooden corridor, and the small door gradually opened with a sliver of a crack.    

However, Su Lie did not rush over. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the wooden porch, grabbed a handful of spirit stones and started recovering his spirit energy.    

Within this relic, trial after trial came one after another. Su Lie had to maintain his condition at the peak in order to increase the probability of passing.    

Only after a full three hours did Su Lie fully recover the Origin Energy in his body.    

He opened his eyes and stood up. He turned around and looked at the back of the wooden corridor. There was still no one coming.    

"Looks like there should be more than one of these corridors …"    

Su Lie said to himself softly.    

Otherwise, with the cultivation levels of those behind them, there would have been people rushing over after such a long time had passed.    

Moreover, Yu Ling had probably just walked past in front of him, but there weren't any traces of her that could be found within the wooden corridor that Su Lie was on.    

As they stepped into the wooden corridor, the space around them began to change. It seemed as though they were teleporting him to a different wooden corridor.    

Only this way could the trial within the wooden corridor be considered fair and reasonable. Otherwise, if many people entered at the same time, then there wouldn't be any difficulty to this trial, and it would lose its meaning.    

"I wonder if Senior Sister has passed?"    

He thought to himself.    

Although Yu Ling was only at the Earth Origin Stage, she could even fight against an expert at the Revealing Astral Realm. Furthermore, the opponents arranged for the corridor would at most be at the second stage of cultivation.    

"Let's go!"    

Su Lie's body moved and walked towards the small bronze door.    

He didn't know if there would be any more tests, but he needed to hurry up and meet up with Yu Ling as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the people behind Yu Ling caught up to her, she would be in danger.    

"Buzz buzz …"    

The small bronze door was extremely heavy. Even though it had been opened slightly, it still required several thousand jin of strength to open it. The heavy bronze door rubbed against each other, causing a grinding sound.    

As the small bronze door was slowly pushed open, the situation behind the door also gradually revealed itself.    

Behind the small door was a room that was several feet wide and wide. It looked like it was underground; it was surrounded by stone walls. There was only a small bronze door with no entrance and no windows. It was a bit dark.    

In the center of the room, there was a formation that was about ten feet in diameter. It was rather complicated, but its light was dim. Only a few lines that were carved out of special materials emitted a faint light.    

At the very front of the room, there was a stone platform, and on it was a set of dark black battle armor.    

The armor was covered in a dark glow and had smooth lines. There were sharp knives at the back of the shoulders, knees, and feet. Also, there was a pair of armor gloves, each finger was made of countless thin pieces of metal.    

"I've finally shown you the treasure!"    

Su Lie stared at the set of armor and could not help but reveal a hint of joy in his eyes.    

After entering this relic, he still hadn't gotten any benefits. Now that he was here, he finally opened his store.    

Only then did he slowly step into the room. Carefully choosing to bypass the formation, he walked to the front of the stone platform and reached out his hand to touch the armor on the stone platform.
