Spirit Vessel

Feiyun shook his head and took out a Buddhist pill for the turtle. He then turned it around and pushed down on its stomach to force the water out.

It spilled the black water out and its skin became white again. It slowly stood up and said: “Some corrosive poison in that water, goddamn, which bastard did this?”

Feiyun traced the crack and eventually met the hand-like tentacle again. He activated his sinflame and clawed the tentacle, forcing it back.

“Immemorial Heavenwood is a supreme and sacred artifact of the yang affinity, how can it be like this? Too much yin just like a coffin…”

The two of them stopped and had a strange expression on their face.

A moment of silence ensued.

After a while, the turtle said: “I… I think we should leave this place. It’s not meant for nobodies like us.”

“Whoosh!” A creepy wind blew by.

Feiyun activated all five domains and summoned his weapon essence. He remained vigilant and said: “I don’t think we can.”

“Rumble!” Numerous tentacles came out of the cracks, carrying the power of yin.

Feiyun summoned an inferno from his phoenix domain, wanting to burn them all. Alas, they were endless in number and blocked his escape path.

From farther away, it looked as if waves of black ink were rushing toward Feng Feiyun.

“We can only move forward, our escape path is gone.” The turtle stood on Feiyun’s shoulder, looking excited to be in battle.

“Then make your move already.” Feiyun said. He summoned seven phoenix images and the myriad beasts to push back the tentacles.

“Keke, I’ve been cursed, remember? I can only fight twice every thousand years, I’ve done so already.” The turtle laughed: “However, I think I know what these tentacles are. They might be the legendary hell mist. This vessel might have been there.”

“Hell…” Feiyun wondered if he had been there since he was on the Yellow River.

He then took out the Ghost Sacred Bottle. This originally belonged to Yao Ji but since it contained a part of Yama’s corpse, Feiyun kept it instead just in case.

According to her, it was left behind by a mysterious figure who had created the Yin and Yang World.

However, these worlds seemed to be connected to an even larger realm. This figure had gone there and never returned.

Feiyun still wanted to figure out all of these mysteries in Jin at a later date. He felt that it was special somehow and might contain a great secret.

The bottle started sucking the black mist inside. Its ghost runes became activated as a result, releasing an aura numerous times stronger than that of a tenth-ranked spirit treasure.

Yama’s corpse bellowed while inside: “Hell mist! Feng Feiyun, how dare you try to refine me?!”

The half-corpse has been refined by the Evil Woman’s fifth transformation, leaving behind a head and a heart in the bottle.

Of course, they were also the most important parts and contained more than half of the essences.

Feiyun channeled all of his energy into the bottle. It became brighter and sucked in all the mist nearby. Yama’s scream became louder inside.

Feiyun meditated inside a hole, wanting to refine Yama’s head and heart right now.

“Don’t you have the Grand Puppet Art? Use it to create a puppet from the mist, the head and the heart can be used to create a soul as well.” The turtle said.

“Great idea.” Feiyun followed the turtle’s advice.

A powerful puppet required powerful materials. The hell mist was clearly perfect since it had a corrosive affinity. The heart and head have been refined by the mist and became obedient at this point.

More mist condensed inside the bottle, turning the atmosphere into a liquified state, looking black and thick like ink.

A spirit treasure thrown in there would instantly rot into pieces. Only this Ghost Sacred Bottle can handle the hell mist.

“The mist has turned into water, this is comparable to the water of the Yellow Spring. It can refine anything in the world, haha, I’ve never seen a puppet made from hell mist before.” The turtle became excited.

Entities from hell weren’t allowed to show up in the mortal world. The means of the mortal world had a hard time dealing with them.

“Back in the Antiquity Period, a big shot traveled to hell and took out some yellow water and ghost stone to create a hell puppet capable of fighting saints. It caused a lot of trouble and was eventually pursued by the various races. It took them centuries to capture it. However, that guy used the Dao Puppet Art, your art is superior so this hell puppet can reach a greater height.” The turtle said.

Feiyun continued condensing the hell liquid. Initially, the sphere of water had a diameter of ten meters. Now, it became nine, eight, seven…

Eventually, only three meters were left. The liquid was darker than black and had a chilling aura.

He then added Yama’s head and heart to the expanse. The liquid began solidifying.

His action became faster and faster, adding 360 marks to the water. This corresponded with the 360 meridians in a body.

“Condense!” The hell water morphed into a humanoid shape - the eyes, nose, lips, ears, arms, chest, legs…

A five-meter man could finally be seen. He had three heads and six arms, completely black from top to bottom and looked like an evil god.

Feiyun took a deep breath and used two worm-hole stones to replenish his energy. It has been a while since he was completely tapped.

“Let’s see how strong this hell puppet is.” He recalled the bottle and released it.

“Bam!” The hell puppet landed on the ground. Its aura froze the wood nearby, adding a layer of ice.

The evil aura started expanding, capable of wiping out everything. Its six arms were as thick as pillars. The three huge heads looked fierce. One resembled an angry Buddha with a rune in the middle of the forehead. The second was that of a dragon with scales and tendrils. The third was an evil phoenix with a red crest above the black feathers.

Feiyun stood in front of it and only reached its waist. His body wasn’t as large as its thigh.

The turtle was surprised to see this: “I, I feel like something is off? What the hell is this, it looks like an evil fiend.”

Feiyun felt the same way. He stroked his chin and said: “I agree but this is what I imagine to be invincible, three heads and six arms.”

“I bet this puppet will be notorious soon after but since it has just been created, it won’t be unreasonably powerful.” The turtle gulped.

“Boom!” The puppet punched the wood and left behind a crater. The ground shook violently as it roared.

The turtle staggered two steps backward and dropped down on its butt, astounded: “Forget I said anything.”
