The whistling wind swept past, and although the Dark Puppet lacked ears, its perception of the outside world was not at all weak.
As the speed increased, the Dark Puppet had no choice but to use dark energy to create a resistance surface, attempting to slow its descent.
The surrounding air became thinner, and the temperature gradually rose, informing the Dark Puppet that it was delving deeper underground, until a voice echoed in its mind:
“I’m ready to return. Get prepared.”
As soon as the words fell, the Dark Puppet immediately sensed a tremendous power surging within Wen Yu's physical body. This power effortlessly expelled the dark energy that the Dark Puppet used to control its body.
The next second, Wen Yu suddenly opened his eyes and moved his body slightly.
“Good job!”
A familiar voice came from Wen Yu, casually complimenting the Dark Puppet. The next moment, a profound black light burst forth from Wen Yu's body.
“Boom!”
The black light coalesced into sharp dark energy blades, countless dark energy blades were indiscriminately flung in all directions. When the black light struck its targets, it produced numerous violent explosions, visibly shattering the black source extraction device, which was torn apart amidst the explosion.
After completing this, Wen Yu carefully examined the source extraction device and found that its forward speed remained unchanged. Soon, the upper part of the source extraction device connected with the shattered section and merged back together, quickly reuniting.
Still ineffective...
“So, I need to deal with the bottom obstruction mechanism first, huh...”
The military's data was comprehensive. Throughout the long exploration of the treasure land, the military had accumulated an enormous amount of intelligence. From scattered bits of information, they had already ascertained the general structure of the source extraction device.
The transport pipeline in the middle had weak defensive capabilities and only served a transport function. As long as the obstruction mechanism at the top was destroyed, the remaining sections of the source extraction device would not be strong enough to break through the soil and magma.
As soon as he reached this conclusion, Wen Yu immediately took action, flying straight down the pipeline.
...
When Yukasas entered the teleportation channel and left the dimensional maze, Wen Yu had already completed his task, flying further down.
At this moment, Yukasas’ eyes flickered with gray light but were filled with a strange lack of spirit, as if he were a puppet controlled by someone.
When Wen Yu destroyed the source extraction device, far away in the Demon Realm, the spirit of the demon lord had received the news. In a fit of rage, the spirit of the demon lord not only berated Yukasas but also employed means to strip Yukasas of his autonomy.
The soul creation technique provided perfect and extreme control over soul puppets. Although being the creator granted life to the soul puppet, the creator controlled everything about the soul puppet—life, soul, and even self-will.
Now, Yukasas had lost most of his self-awareness under the control of the spirit of the demon lord, with only one thought remaining in his mind.
“Find Sequence Two and eliminate him!”
As for whether he could win—this was not within Yukasas' or the spirit of the demon lord's considerations.
The perception ability emanated out, and the creation energy contained within the source extraction device marked Wen Yu’s location for Yukasas—within a short time, Wen Yu had fallen to the bottom of the source extraction device, not far from the obstruction mechanism at the top.
Seeing this, Yukasas immediately broke through the outer wall of the source extraction device and pursued downward.
...
The air grew increasingly hot and suffocating, but fortunately, Wen Yu's current physical condition was not affected by this.
However, his soul puppet was struggling.
“Master, I’m feeling uncomfortable...”
