Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 873 - 872: Desolate Beast Puppet

Boom!

Chu Ming's entire aura emanated, as if a Great Sun Sword Body, charging and colliding through the crowd. Anyone who came into contact with him was sent flying, and many young talents spat blood, looking quite embarrassed.

"Not good, it's a Sealed Saint Level genius!"

"Everyone, scatter!!!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The young talents around exclaimed in alarm, and in an instant, the area around Chu Ming was exceptionally empty, with no young talents within a hundred meters.

Whoosh!

Chu Ming's speed was incredibly fast, almost bursting out of the crowd in an instant, but ahead of him, there were several figures, each exuding a powerful aura like young dragons and tigers.

Whoosh!

Chu Ming flew towards the sixth Saint King Platform. In fact, the assessments of these platforms were conducted simultaneously, so regardless of which platform, the final result was the same.

But the Sealed Saint Level geniuses had their own pride. Standing among ordinary geniuses, they were like cranes among chickens, conspicuous and out of place.

Now the Saint King Platform had a length and width of several tens of thousands of meters. The vast holy light radiated in all directions, filled with a sense of sanctity.

Boom!

Chu Ming stepped onto the Saint King Platform. There were already more than a dozen young geniuses, of various races, but predominantly of the Human Race, with other races mostly as foils.

On the sixth Saint King Platform, the first dozen geniuses to arrive were mostly Sealed Saint Level or top Sealed King Level geniuses known for their speed.

Feeling Chu Ming's arrival, those dozen people merely glanced slightly before ignoring him, except for a few, who looked at Chu Ming with solemn expressions.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Within a few breaths, tens of thousands of young talents participating in the assessment were evenly distributed to the nine Saint King Platforms.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Nine invincible figures descended, steadily landing on the platforms of holy light. These nine figures were dressed in Daoist robes, some old, some young, but all immensely powerful, with brows filled with an aura of dominating the world.

"I am the chief examiner of the sixth Saint King Platform. This assessment is mainly divided into two parts: first, actual combat, and second, talent testing!"

"The first stage is actual combat!"

Boom!

The chief examiner of the sixth Saint King Platform was a robust middle-aged man. His physique was strong, and with a wave of his hand, the muscles within his body crackled like popping beans, allowing anyone to feel the powerful strength contained within.

"Your assessment is to defeat him!"

After the chief examiner spoke, with a wave of his large hand, a massive figure appeared on the ground, towering five meters high, completely black, exuding a fierce, savage, and bloody aura.

On the Saint King Platform, most candidates were intimidated by this figure and didn't dare to utter a word.

Chu Ming looked over and immediately discerned the true face of this figure.

It appeared humanoid, entirely black, with skin like black armor covered in scales, a vicious face, and fangs. Its claws were like hooks, incredibly sharp.

Its body was muscular, as hard as steel, with pronounced muscles, and its bones like titanium alloy metal, emitting bursts of air-explosion-like sounds with the slightest movement, terrifying.

"No way, just defeat this puppet? Is the assessment this simple?"

Someone couldn't believe it, thinking the Nine Elements Dao Palace's assessment content was too simple.

"Simple? You're joking. Truly ignorant folks, you may not know how terrifying this puppet is. It's forged from the corpse of a cosmos fierce beast, with bones as hard as steel, and ordinary attacks have no effect on this fierce beast puppet, like a mosquito bite."

Someone sneered, "Moreover, it was forged using the advanced artifact refining techniques of the Nine Elements Dao Palace, retaining the beast's ferocious nature, with boundless strength, a complete slaughter machine."

"Without sufficient martial skills and strength, dealing with this fierce beast puppet is simply impossible. One encounter and you'll be killed."

Many young talents looked seriously at the Desolate Beast Puppet on the Saint King Platform. Chu Ming glanced slightly at the other Saint King Platforms, discovering their actual combat assessment was also to defeat such a Desolate Beast Puppet.

"You, come first!"

The chief examiner squinted his eyes, pointing at a young man in a red robe amidst the crowd, and said coldly.

Whoosh!

The red-robed youth's face changed slightly but dared not defy the chief examiner. Bracing himself, he flew out from the crowd, landing steadily in front of the Desolate Beast Puppet.

Boom!

As soon as the red-robed youth landed, the puppet's blood-red eyes lit up, its sharp and powerful right claw directly targeting the youth's chest, the cold light making everyone's heart shiver.

The red-robed youth, experienced in battles and in a cosmos where martialism is supreme, thrust his right palm powerfully. In an instant, a terrifying ice river formed before him, with ice crystals sparkling on the ground, extending to the feet of the Desolate Beast Puppet.

Crack!

The Desolate Beast Puppet directly turned into an ice sculpture, unable to move.

Crash!

But before the red-robed youth could rejoice, the Desolate Beast Puppet suddenly broke free from the ice sculpture, transforming into a vast, black shadow, crashing toward him.

"Pfft..."

The red-robed youth was instantly blasted away, spatting a mouthful of blood in dejection.

"Unqualified!"

The chief examiner waved his right hand, rescuing the red-robed youth from the puppet's grasp, saying expressionlessly.

The red-robed youth looked downcast, leaving the Saint King Platform in helplessness.

"This puppet's strength should not be weaker than an ordinary Sealed Marquis Level genius of the First Layer of the Emperor Dao!"

Looking at the puppet's figure, Chu Ming thought to himself, realizing that defeating this puppet required at least a Sealed Marquis Level genius.

Of course, a genius of the Second Layer of the Emperor Dao could perhaps manage to defeat the Desolate Beast Puppet, but they'd still be eliminated after the second stage of talent testing.

Whoosh!

By now, the talents on the Saint King Platform had started to line up voluntarily. Even though the Desolate Beast Puppet was fiercely strong and bloody, they still wanted to give it a try.

Whoosh!

The second participant in the assessment was a yellow-robed girl of the first layer of the Emperor Dao, proficient in a palm technique. Unfortunately, without mastering the technique completely, she was sent flying within ten moves by the Desolate Beast Puppet. If she had cultivated that technique to the Transformation Realm, she might have stood a chance.

Candidate after candidate, over a dozen, none of the young talents passed the assessment.

"Next!"

The chief examiner saved the latest young talent from the assessment, coldly yelling at the others.

Whoosh!

The next one to take the platform was a youth with a body like an iron tower, standing three point two meters tall. His muscles bulged high, exposed to the air like pieces of hard iron, emitting a faint sheen.
