Soaring of Galaxia
chapter-925-30041322

After Qin Wushuang and King Cicada went their separate ways, he found a relatively remote place and let out all nine Golem Puppets.

Since these nine puppets followed Qin Wushuang in training, their own level also kept upgrading following Qin Wushuang's upgrade in power.

Now in terms of corporeal body strength, these puppets were close to the Seventh Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage. Individually, they were dwelling between the Seventh and Eighth Calamity.

There was one advantage for the puppets, they do not have to face any Supreme Dao calamities on their own.

However, without these calamities, their weakness was also apparent. Compared to martial artists on the same level, surely their individual combat power was surely less than them.

Also, without their master's intentional cultivation, they would have limited potential: they would not be able to climb heights endlessly like human martial artists.

However, clearly the formation of these nine Golem Puppets were set up according to the Nine Palace Return One Sword Formation. If someone did not understand this formation, they would not be able to see the profoundness of this formation.

Qin Wushuang hid in the dark and completely weakened himself.

Of course, he also did not try to hide anything. He knew that among those divine souls there were some extremely powerful existences. Most likely it would be extremely difficult to completely hide himself before those powerful divine souls.

Therefore, he would not be pretentious as he just trained naturally. He would give people the feeling that he was already here.

Qin Wushuang was extremely patient and not in a rush. He knew that for such an enticing tactic, it could only succeed, not fail. If he failed, the strategy would be meaningless if these divine souls communicated with one another.

To ensure this enticing strategy was effective, the enemy must never learn what was going on. If so, this strategy would become useless after first discovery.

In other words, either the strike hits the target or they cannot make a move at all.

On King Cicada's side, clearly he was doing the same thing. In fact, King Cicada was having more difficulty than Qin Wushuang. After all, he was completely relying on that puppet as his bait.

For Qin Wushuang's side, his puppets would be the bait and fighters. Once the Nine Palace Return One Sword Formation was activated, they could kill anything caught in their trap, even if several divine souls plunged in at once.

"Cunning foreign tribes, come," Qin Wushuang thought to himself.

After three days, not a single fish had bit their bait. However, Qin Wushuang was not depressed. On the contrary, vividly, he was somewhat excited.

It was because in these three days, although no fish took the bait, some fishes had come to scout the situation.

Apparently, the foreign tribes were extremely cunning and careful. They did not rush over, but rather observed carefully. Clearly, they were eliminating the situation of the enemy's position.

Qin Wushuang was extremely patient.

In a corner that was about two hundred miles away from Qin Wushuang, three divine souls gathered. These three foreign divine souls were just three of the six in charge of attracting attention.

"Senior Gao, what business do you have asking us to come here?"

"Yes, Senior Gao, Sir Ni Meng asked us to work separately. We defy his order when we gather together."

Senior Gao chuckled. "Two brothers, we have been brothers for tens and thousands of years. Let's not regard us as outsiders. You see I only called you two, but I didn't inform the other three. It's because I trust you guys."

Upon hearing the words of Senior Gao, those two stayed in silence. They knew that he did it with a reason.

Senior Gao said with a mysterious laugh, "You two, what do you think we need the most now?"

"What? The Soaring of Galaxia Barrier?"

"Nonsense, even if we find the Soaring of Galaxia Barrier, can we truly destroy it with the three of us? We are not made for that. Honestly, we are runners before a carriage. Sir Ni Ao did not send others, but gave us this tiring task. To say it nicely, it's to cover for them. To speak honestly, we are scapegoats. If some are to die, certainly we are to die first."

These words were not false at all. The other two also felt incredibly helpless.

"We don't have a choice, Senior Gao, Sir Ni Ao is our leader. We must listen to our leader. Could we even resist him?"

Senior Gao shook his head. "I've thought about it. Sir Ni Ao sent us as the vanguard because he thinks we are worth the least. If we get an upgrade and can pose enough influence with Sir Ni Ao, are they still going to make us the vanguards?"

"Senior Gao, what are you trying to say? Just be straightforward. There are no outsiders here, just us," another guy cried out.

"What I'm saying is there is an extremely good opportunity to upgrade our power and a chance to improve our social status. Would you dare to give it a try?" Senior Gao no longer kept them in suspense and said it directly.

"Senior Gao, what opportunity?"

"Yes, tell us the details."

Senior Gao said with a smiley face, "I discovered a group of martial artists who seem to be in solitary training in a remote place. This is a good chance for us to seize their corporeal bodies."

"How many are in that group?"

"Nine, there are nine in total," Senior Gao said with assurance.

"That many?"

"Yes, I've observed them for three days now. Senior Du, Senior Wang, are you interested, do you have the guts for it?" Senior Gao used a method of provocation.

The two immediately experienced urgent breathing. They would be lying if these bodies laying in front of them did not appear attractive at all. However, Senior Gao's tone also clearly hinted that everything might be accompanied with risk.

"Senior Gao, honestly, what is our success rate?" Senior Du asked.

Senior Gao shook his head. "I don't know. However, I can be sure that the power of these nine martial artists is not enough to threaten us. Nine of them together could not do anything to any of us."

"Senior Gao, don't forget that at most, we are on par with those at the Peak of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage." Senior Wang reminded him.

"Ha ha, Senior Wang, of course I am aware of this point. Therefore, we must acquire a body. Only with a body can we seize a leading position in the team. Sir Ni Ao will even pay us some respect!"

For these escaped divine souls, the position between those with and without a corporeal body was completely different. The ones with a body would have a completely different level of strength compared to those without.

"Nine martial artists, how is there power in general?" Senior Du also asked.

"They are definitely not at the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. They are some distance away from the Genuine Supreme Dao. I did not dare to float too close for I was afraid of exposing myself."

"It's much easier since they have not yet reached the Genuine Supreme Dao," Senior Du cried out.

"Would you say this is a trap?" Senior Wang questioned.

Senior Gao said unhappily, "I've investigated the situation thoroughly to see whether it's a trap or not. For thousands of miles around us, the warriors who pursued us are definitely around. We could seize those bodies in between a single breath. What are you worried about?"

Senior Wang and Senior Du both nodded. "If those pursuers are not nearby, then there is nothing to worry about. We have plenty of space to deal with them since we are a thousand miles apart. Ha ha!"

"Senior Gao, lead the way!"

…

On the fourth day, Qin Wushuang's mind stirred as he revealed an understanding smile. "Finally they are here. It seems more than one has come. Indeed, these monsters of the foreign tribes are cunning."

Three? Qin Wushuang felt this was a small number. It would have been nice if five or six of them had come. Once they were surrounded by the Nine Palace Return One Sword Formation, Qin Wushuang would kill them one after the other with his arrows mercilessly.

"Pay attention and stay calm, the enemy has already approached. Before they enter the attack zone, do not act recklessly."

These Golem Puppets were easy to control as they all depended on Qin Wushuang's thoughts. Since he gave such instruction, of course these Golem Puppets would not make any outrageous actions.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

Carried with a meteoric form of temperament, three divine souls dropped around them. They flew from three directions, criss-crossed and rolling forward by forming three whirlpool-like currents.

Apparently, they were making bursts of currents to roll away these nine Golem Puppets. The instant when the divine souls approached, suddenly the nine Golem Puppets activated at the same time.

The Nine Palace Return One Sword Formation activated suddenly. The formation integrated into one. When the sword formation activated, the nine interweaving sword lights formed into a congealed sword whirlpool. As dazzling and magnificent as the starry sky, it rolled over.

The light formed by the nine sword lights swallowed those three adverse whirlpools. Immediately, when the three divine souls arrived the surrounding was full of perilous temperament. It seemed as all of a sudden, the entire area flared up as if ten thousand foot waves were crashing down.

Now, those three divine souls realized that indeed they had stepped into a trap.

Senior Du cried out, "Senior Gao, you've doomed us!"

The profoundness of this Nine Palace Return One Sword Formation lay in its ability to transform the power of these nine puppets to eighty-one times their normal power.

Eighty-one times the power of each puppet, multiplied by nine was more equivalent to one thousand times the power. Once this power was formed, that power was earth-shattering.

With the whirlpool formed, those three instantly felt a burst of powerful air stream wrapping them. Instantly, it seemed as if their entire bodies were tightened by something as their movements were immediately restrained.

"Exert all force, make it out!" At this moment, Senior Wang was the most calm. "Don't get scattered, we must join our power to make it out, we will be dead if we go different ways!"

Senior Wang saw that this miraculous sword formation could enhance the power of their enemy. They were utterly helpless to resist this powerful airwave individually. There would only be a trace of hope if the three of them joined together.

At this moment, suddenly Qin Wushuang plunged out. With a light smile, it seemed his voice pierced through like an iron needle, "Since you are here, why would you need to leave?"

He opened the Graceful Spiritual Bow and with earth-shattering power, three Shooting Sun Arrows shot at the core area of the sword formation with a rumble.

The Graceful Spiritual Bow was the best choice for a long distance attack!

The entrapment of the Nine Palace Return One Sword Formation with the worldly astonishing power of the Graceful Spiritual Bow, in the current situation where the divine souls of the Heavenly Supreme Dao elite warriors had yet to regain fifty percent of their power, they were at most on par with a Peak of the Genuine Supreme Dao warrior. In this case, one could imagine the results.

Carried with destructive power, the Shooting Sun Arrows plunged into the center of the whirlpool. They transformed into three powerful explosive golden lights and shot the three divine souls that burst into pieces.

Before they could let out a miserable cry, squandered by the golden light, the environment appeared crystal clear as there were no more traces of their divine souls.

The most miraculous thing was under such a battle, not much was damaged in the surrounding environment. It was apparent how carefully constructed this God Discarding Maze was!
