Chapter 294: Imperial-Class Puppet

Xue Sha’s expression darkened, a fierce killing intent flashing in her eyes. “Say it again, and I’ll kill you!”
“Speak up—what do you want from me?” Ye Feng, overwhelmed by that killing intent, gradually disappeared, another voice sounding from behind Xue Sha.
“A clone?” Xue Sha turned her head slightly to look at Ye Feng, who had now appeared behind her. “You’re quite skilled.”
“I don’t have time to play house with a five-year-old girl. If you want to play, find a five-year-old boy!” Ye Feng’s face showed signs of impatience. In truth, he was extremely tense, closely watching every move of Xue Sha.
“The First Demon Emperor wants to see you!” Xue Sha glared at Ye Feng coldly.
“How does he know about me?” Ye Feng was puzzled.
“He said he wants to meet the person who obtained that palace,” Xue Sha replied, still cold. “Although those guys at the imperial meeting also wanted that palace and ordered that anyone holding it be killed.”
“The people of the Demon Realm really go to any lengths for their goals!” Ye Feng sneered again.
“At least they’re not as deceitful as those in the Immortal Realm!” Xue Sha clearly disapproved of the actions of the Immortal Realm.
“Wanting me to meet the First Demon Emperor—probably to take me to the Demon Realm?” Ye Feng figured out what Xue Sha was planning.
“That’s right!” Xue Sha remained expressionless.
Hearing this definite answer, Ye Feng frowned. It wasn’t that he was afraid of going to the Demon Realm; on the contrary, he was somewhat eager to explore this unknown realm. But this meant he would once again have to fight alone. It had been hard enough to reunite with companions like Long Tian—now he didn’t know when they’d see each other again.
“I won’t go with you!” Ye Feng refused, though he knew such refusal was meaningless.
“That’s not up to you!” A cold glint appeared in Xue Sha’s eyes, and Ye Feng’s figure faded away once more.
“You suddenly stopped your move just now and asked if I was at the Absolute Demon level. Apparently, your move isn’t effective against someone at that level, right?” Xue Sha suddenly remembered Ye Feng’s strange behavior earlier.
Ye Feng pretended not to hear and remained silent.
“It seems I guessed right!” A faint smile finally appeared on Xue Sha’s face.
“Are you really helpless against someone at the Absolute Demon level?” Xue Sha seemed to expect some surprise from Ye Feng.

“What should I do? Her cultivation level is too high; I can’t use the Qiankun Silk…” Ye Feng sent a thread of his mental energy into the Virtual Realm to see if there was anything that could deal with Xue Sha.
“Do I have to use the Ultimate Summoning Privilege?” Ye Feng hesitated. He knew that if he used it now to summon someone from the Divine Realm, it would be enough to handle Xue Sha, but it wasn’t worth it.
He could only use the Ultimate Summoning Privilege once a year. Although it hadn’t been a full year since his last use, his strength had improved, allowing him to access a new level of the Virtual Realm, thus resetting the count.
Ye Feng knew that although Xue Sha posed a huge threat at the moment, if he summoned a stronger fighter to kill her, other powerful beings from the Demon Realm would surely come to investigate. If less than a year passed before he could summon such a fighter again, he would be in real trouble.
He wouldn’t consider using this privilege unless absolutely necessary.
“I need an item or something that can help me deal with experts at the Absolute Demon level!” After searching, a dialog box appeared before Ye Feng.
“There is only one item that meets the requirement: an Imperial-Class Puppet.”
“Insufficient purchasing rights! It can be rented instead!”
“What exactly is its effect?” Ye Feng saw that it was a human-shaped puppet.
“The Imperial-Class Puppet is made from various precious materials from the Heavenly Realm. The user only needs to inject their consciousness into it to gain the body and energy of an Imperial-level expert from the Heavenly Realm, allowing them to fight using that body.”
“So that’s what it is!” Ye Feng’s eyes lit up after reading the description.
“How much is the rental cost?” he asked.
“One million points of third-tier domain value per time, with a maximum usage of ten days. If the usage is less than ten days and the consciousness is withdrawn early, it will still be charged as one use.”
“That’s too expensive. Just for renting, it costs 100,000 points of third-tier domain value per day.” Ye Feng shook his head helplessly. “What’s the official selling price?” he asked.
“Insufficient domain value rights; unable to check!”
“I have tens of millions of points of third-tier domain value now, yet I still can’t check its price. That means its actual price must be over 100 million points of third-tier domain value!” Ye Feng shook his head again.
“What will happen to my original body after using this?” he asked.
“It will be replaced by the location where the puppet is!”

“By the way, even after using this, I probably still won’t be able to use a domain, even though my body is on par with that of a supreme immortal-level warrior.” Although Ye Feng clearly knew this, he still asked.
“The emergence of a domain has nothing to do with the strength of the body or the amount of energy; it depends solely on an individual’s understanding of the laws of the universe.” At that moment, another dialogue box appeared before Ye Feng’s eyes.
Ye Feng helplessly shook his head and decided to rent it instead. “Let’s rent it for once and see how it works! If I can’t use a domain, I probably still have no chance against someone like Xue Sha.”
Ye Feng was very self-aware. He knew that Xue Sha was different from him—she had spent years in the harsh environment of the Demon Realm, giving her far more combat experience than he did. Moreover, she had the absolute advantage of a domain. Even if he had a body and energy at the same supreme demon level, the outcome would still be uncertain.
“Rental successful. One million points of third-tier domain energy consumed.”
“Usage method: Insert your consciousness into the puppet’s mind sea to complete the body transformation, after which you can directly use the puppet to fight.”
Following the instructions, Ye Feng turned his consciousness into a beam and inserted it into the puppet’s brain. Soon, the appearance of the puppet in that virtual realm gradually changed to Ye Feng’s, but it seemed lifeless, as if his soul had left his body.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng’s aura in front of Xue Sha slowly grew stronger. His powerful aura kept rising, causing Xue Sha’s expression to darken.
“How did he do this? This aura isn’t just strong—it seems different from what I felt before.” Xue Sha watched in confusion as Ye Feng continued to change.
Ye Feng’s transformation really surprised her. She never expected his aura to eventually reach a level comparable to hers. “How is this possible?”
“Nothing is impossible!” Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes and stared at Xue Sha. “Since you insist on taking me away from here, let’s see who’s really stronger!”
“Then let me see what level you’ve reached first!” As soon as Xue Sha finished speaking, she disappeared, and a strong sense of danger rushed at him from behind.
This time, Ye Feng didn’t dodge. Instead, he grabbed Xue Sha’s wrist with bare hands—without even wearing gloves.

“Hmph!” Xue Sha certainly wouldn’t accept defeat. In her eyes, Ye Feng was nothing but a novice—his combat experience was nowhere near hers, no matter how much he flattered himself. With a cold snort, she twisted her wrist and pulled, causing a crackling sound of bones breaking in Ye Feng’s wrist.
Ye Feng frowned slightly. He hadn’t expected his wrist to get dislocated just in one exchange.
“It seems you’re all show and no substance!” Xue Sha sneered but didn’t pursue him.
Ye Feng quietly reset his wrist and took out a pair of silver-white gloves from his ring. In front of Xue Sha, he bit his finger and dropped blood onto the gloves. The silver-white gloves emitted a burst of white light before dimming, after which Ye Feng put them on.
Almost simultaneously, a black armor set slowly appeared on his body, enveloping him completely. It was the divine armor set that Xiao Yu had given him and which had just been repaired.
“Interesting. There are even such rare items as divine armor!” Xue Sha immediately recognized the grade of Ye Feng’s equipment. “But those gloves are of lower grade.”
“You don’t need any weapons or armor—aren’t you being a bit arrogant?” Ye Feng glanced at Xue Sha, who was unarmed.
“I don’t need weapons or armor!” Xue Sha said coldly. “Because I have this…”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Feng suddenly noticed white snow beginning to drift down from the sky abruptly.
“What’s this…” Ye Feng was stunned. He quickly realized what it was. “Is this your domain?!”
“The Snowfall Domain!” Xue Sha’s figure slowly disappeared.
Ye Feng scanned the surroundings warily but found nothing. This domain seemed endless, completely different from Lilith’s domain, which had limits. As far as his eyes could see, the horizon was covered in white from the heavy snow.
“Give up resisting. No one who enters my domain has ever managed to get out alive. But this time, my task is to bring you back alive, so I won’t kill you. As long as you obediently agree to go to the Demon Realm with me, I’ll release you right away.” Xue Sha put more pressure on Ye Feng.
“Even in your domain, I might not lose!” Ye Feng certainly wasn’t ready to give up. “Let me see what tricks you have.”
“That’s on you!” A fierce glint appeared in Xue Sha’s eyes…
