With the flash of the teleportation light, Wen Yu, or rather the Dark Puppet controlling Wen Yu's body, found himself in a strange space.
First, he glanced at his master's body — completely unharmed. Aside from the soul separation, the physical body had lost all consciousness; the dimensional maze's teleportation had not affected Wen Yu's physical form at all.
This scene made the Dark Puppet breathe a sigh of relief. The power of space, being on the same level as the power of time and even the power of the soul, may not be as enigmatic and changeable as time and soul, but its effects should not be underestimated. The treasure land was built relying on the power of space, and similarly, the dimensional maze designed based on the treasure land could not escape the realm of space power. The teleportation of the treasure land only targeted professionals, and although the dimensional maze could accommodate a wider variety of species, who knew if soulless dead flesh could pass through the teleportation array.
Now, it seemed everything was normal.
After confirming this, the Dark Puppet finally had the mood to examine the surrounding environment.
In front of him was a bottomless giant pit and a source extraction device deeply embedded within it, extending downward continuously!
At this moment, the Dark Puppet, controlling Wen Yu's physical body, stood on a three-meter-wide stone platform. Calling it a stone platform was somewhat inaccurate; it should be described as a circular ring, likely a foothold set up by the demonic clan. Looking up, one could see the space cracks emitting black light and the faint light source from the outside.
The air in this place was slightly stuffy, indicating that the Dark Puppet was likely located underground. Upon closer observation, he spotted the Rift Device not far from himself.
Wen Yu's body emitted a faint black light, and then Wen Yu stiffly lifted his right foot, slowly walking toward the location of the Rift Device like a decrepit old man.
The distance of one thousand meters took the Dark Puppet a full ten seconds — looking completely inhuman. However, for Wen Yu's physical conditioning, such speed couldn't even be described as crippled.
The Dark Puppet controlling Wen Yu's body could not use any skills and could not exert Wen Yu's peak level 10 physical capabilities. This was also a flaw of this tactical approach — there was no hope for a strong offensive; at most, it was about employing tactics, much like how Wen Yu's soul body bullied Yukasas just now.
Only when reaching the side of the Rift Device, did the Dark Puppet slowly raise his right hand. As the Spatial Ring on Wen Yu's right hand shone with a soft light, the Rift Device on the stone platform suddenly vanished — using the Spatial Ring to take the Rift Device was the quickest method the Dark Puppet could think of in such a short time.
After doing all of this, the Dark Puppet then looked up at the sky — the black light still flickered, and the space cracks still existed, indicating that the Rift Device had already completed its function. Taking it away wouldn't affect the overall situation at all.
"So, it has failed…"
The Dark Puppet murmured, glancing at the nearby source extraction device, then raised his right hand.
"Boom!"
A heavy fist struck fiercely against the source extraction device. Although the Dark Puppet could not utilize Wen Yu's physical capabilities, it was evident that the defense of the source extraction device was even weaker. With this punch, the source extraction device emitted a crisp sound akin to stone shattering glass, and then Wen Yu's right arm was completely submerged.
The attack was remarkably effective!
But it was utterly useless…
How large was the source extraction device? Without mentioning its length — this thing could penetrate from the surface to the Earth's Core, so everyone could estimate its length. Just discussing its diameter, it conservatively measured at least around ten kilometers. Such a thick pipe, a fist-sized hole couldn’t possibly affect the overall situation. Furthermore, the source extraction device was continuously deepening into the Earth's Core, while the stone platform was merely flat. The hole the Dark Puppet just made had already vanished from sight, having entered the deeper parts of the pit — at this point, the Dark Puppet suddenly realized that this thing could not be handled alone.
