Chapter 14194 The Xuan Tian Empress's Fear

Lei Ling was like a wise sage, looking at the ignorant child in front of him, unwilling to explain those profound principles in detail.

Ling Xiao was speechless after hearing Lei Ling's words, his lips twitching slightly: "..."

He was cornered by Lei Ling once again.

These ancient monsters, who have lived for countless years, always like to leave things unsaid, pretending to be profound.

They seem to enjoy this sense of being unpredictable, as if it is the only way to demonstrate their mystery and power.

Ling Xiao secretly grumbled to himself, but there was nothing he could do. He could only make a silent resolution to work hard in his cultivation, to uncover the layers of mystery as soon as possible, and to understand the true meaning behind it all.

A moment later, Ling Xiao felt a fluctuation in his consciousness, which was closely connected to the Demon Needle Space, and then it slowly and steadily withdrew.

Before leaving, he had already made a decision to hand over the five remains, which lay quietly in the magic needle space and contained the immense power of holy light, to Lei Ling.

He knew that Lei Ling had extraordinary skills in crafting puppets, and these five remains would be able to reach their full potential in Lei Ling's hands.

Holy Puppet!

These two words alone were like a thunderclap in Ling Xiao's heart, causing his heart to beat faster involuntarily.

That was a combat puppet crafted from the remains of a powerful figure from the Silent Sanctuary at the Great Sun Realm!

The Great Sun Realm is considered one of the top levels in the entire cultivation system, and the experts of the Silent Annihilation Holy Hall are among the best. The power they possessed in their lifetime was enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.

Now, the remains of these powerful beings are about to be refined into holy puppets, becoming his sharpest weapon.

This will undoubtedly become a new trump card in his hands, capable of shaking up the current landscape!
Once this trump card is played, it will surely stir up a storm in this ever-changing world.

It should be noted that, looking at the entire Tianyuan and Dazhen, the top combat power on the surface is only at the Great Sun Realm.

Once these five holy puppets are completed, they will be like five moving super bombs, and their deterrent power will be immeasurable.

Whether facing powerful enemies or vying for precious resources, these five holy puppets will become his most powerful protection.

As his consciousness returned to his body, Ling Xiao felt a flash of light before his eyes, and the familiar scene gradually became clear.

His figure reappeared on that desolate border battlefield, surrounded by a pungent smell of blood and a faint scent of gunpowder.

What made his gaze slightly narrow was that the Xuan Tian Empress Su Lingyin had not yet left.

She stood quietly not far away, her posture upright, like a pine tree standing proudly in the wind and snow, as if she had been waiting for him all along.

Su Lingyin's elegant and dignified face slowly turned towards Ling Xiao.

Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows as dark as distant mountains, and her eyes were like deep, cold pools, exuding a coldness that made people afraid to look directly at her.

Her voice was like sand scraping against the void, low and hoarse: "They...they've all fallen?"

Ling Xiao's eyes were indifferent as frost, as if the person in front of him was just an insignificant passerby.

His tone was distant and cold: "What's it to you?"

In his mind, Su Lingyin was always a mysterious and dangerous presence. He didn't know what her purpose was, nor did he understand her connection to this battle.

Therefore, he always maintained a high degree of vigilance and distrust towards her.

After saying that, Ling Xiao turned around without hesitation and walked away into the distance with firm steps.

He didn't want to get entangled with Su Lingyin any longer; he just wanted to leave this dangerous and unknown place as soon as possible.

However, in a flash of light, Su Lingyin appeared in front of Ling Xiao like a ghost, blocking his path.

Her eyes, like those of starlight, were fixed on Ling Xiao, seemingly with a hint of re-examination.

A complex light flashed in her eyes, a mixture of surprise, doubt, and a barely perceptible hint of admiration.

"Ling Xiao, I admit that I underestimated you before." Her voice was still low, but it had a hint of sincerity in it.

Ling Xiao abruptly stopped, his feet firmly planted in the void, like an unshakeable mountain.

He stared directly at Su Lingyin, his gaze piercing as if trying to see through her, and coldly asked, "What exactly do you intend to do?"

The voice carried an undeniable question, like thunder in the cold night, exploding in the silent void.

Su Lingyin tilted her head slightly, a subtle complexity flashing in her eyes. Her voice deepened, carrying an irresistible allure, as she slowly said, "The nine-tailed celestial fox nurtured within your body is of the purest and most pristine origin, containing the essence of creation from the beginning of time."

Such a precious existence should not be buried.

She follows you, but is bound by the laws of this world, so her growth is ultimately slow.

If she were to be guided by me and integrated into the core essence of this world, she would undergo an unprecedented transformation, her future achievements limitless, and she might even become a powerful being beyond the comprehension of this world.

"Shut up!" Ling Xiao roared, his voice like a raging dragon, filled with boundless anger and killing intent.

A chilling killing intent, like a tangible cold wave, suddenly erupted from his body, instantly spreading outwards from him and freezing the floating stardust fragments around him.

The stardust fragments stopped drifting in the chill, as if frozen in time.

He stared intently at Su Lingyin, his eyes bloodshot, and said, word by word, with unwavering resolve, "If you dare to lay a finger on the little fox again, believe me, I'll shatter your avatar with a single sword strike right now and destroy your very essence!"

Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying boundless rage and resolute killing intent.

In his heart, the little fox was his Achilles' heel; anyone who dared to touch it would face a fight to the death.

After issuing the warning, Ling Xiao said no more. A flash of light appeared on his body, and his figure transformed into a sharp sword light, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, disappearing in an instant.

Wherever the sword light passed, the space was torn apart with tiny cracks, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Su Lingyin stood there quietly for a long time.

Her body trembled slightly, like an undercurrent surging beneath a calm lake, revealing the turmoil within her heart.

Her eyes flashed with a complex light, containing anger, resentment, and a deep sense of apprehension.

“A threat…a real threat…” A whisper that only she could hear faded into the void, a voice tinged with helplessness and bitterness.

In the past, if a martial artist who had not even reached the Cangyue Realm dared to threaten her like this, she would have already unleashed a thunderous punishment to let the other party know the consequences of offending her.

But at this moment, she felt a sense of apprehension.

It wasn't just because of the unfathomable demonic treasure on Ling Xiao's body; the aura emanating from that treasure made her heart tremble, as if it contained endless secrets and terrifying power.

It's also because of Ling Xiao himself! (End of Chapter)
