His mind stirred, and his Divine Sense entered the Battle Puppet.

After a while, he squeezed out a drop of Essence Blood and infused it into the core array of the Battle Puppet.

Streams of light overflowed from the core array, and after a moment, a Divine Thought appeared in Duan Gujin's mind. He read the Divine Thought, knowing that he and the Battle Puppet had become one in spirit.

"Fantastic! From now on, I can use this Battle Puppet to fight for me!"

Duan Gujin was ecstatic inside, he quickly used his Spiritual Power to control the Battle Puppet in front of him.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Under the control of his Spiritual Power, the Battle Puppet made movements according to his thoughts.

After a while, Duan Gujin noticed a problem.

"As expected! Although this Battle Puppet seems perfect, its attack and movement speed are actually far from those of living creatures of the same realm! Better than nothing! In certain special situations, having this Battle Puppet is still very good!"

His mind stirred, and he once again controlled the Battle Puppet with Spiritual Power.

Miao Yu stared dumbfounded as the originally over three meters tall Battle Puppet started shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and only stopped when it had shrunk to half a meter tall.

"My God! This little thing is really cute!"

Miao Yu exclaimed, she directly referred to the Battle Puppet as a little thing.

Duan Gujin chuckled dryly, he immediately followed the text and images behind those statues to look for the Spirit Storage Device that could store the Battle Puppet.

The Battle Puppet's special construction meant that it needed a special Spirit Storage Device to contain it.

Duan Gujin then approached a statue, he checked it and quickly retrieved a Spirit Storage Device from the back of the statue.

After inspecting the Spirit Storage Device and assuring there were no issues, he stored the Battle Puppet inside the Spirit Storage Device.

Once he had put the Battle Puppet into the Spirit Storage Device, suddenly, they felt fluctuations within their bodies, and sensed that both their Primordial Power and demonic power had become active.

"What's happening?"

Miao Yu cried out, she previously could not understand the meaning behind the text on the statue's back and did not know what Duan Gujin was doing.

"Miao Yu, don't move rashly. I should have passed this level just now!"

Duan Gujin said.

"Oh!"

Miao Yu's eyes flickered, and she realized Duan Gujin knew many things she was clueless about, that his knowledge surpassed hers by far.

"Look!"

At this moment, an image very much resembling a Tai Chi Image suddenly appeared on the ground where the Battle Puppet had stood.

The image rotated once on the ground and then stopped.

At that moment, their bodies were brought to the central point of the Tai Chi Image by two powerful energies.

Miao Yu, puzzled, thought this was most likely a mechanical trap and wanted to escape immediately.

Seeing Miao Yu's action, Duan Gu swiftly spoke up to stop her, telling her to stay calm.

After listening to Duan Gu's words, Miao Yu calmed down.

Duan Gu took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and regulated his breath.

His Divine Sense Inspection revealed that the Tai Chi Image on the ground contained a very strong power, and this power was fuse perfectly with the Primordial Power in his body, giving him a feeling as comfortable as a fish in water.

"Miao Yu, how do you feel now? Are you feeling any discomfort?"

Duan Gujin then thought that it might be the fluctuation of Qi that gave Miao Yu a sense of discomfort.

She felt the urgency to escape.

And his previous attempt to stop Miao Yu from escaping was because he assumed Miao Yu had no idea that it was he who triggered the array.

"I feel great! I don't know why, but I feel energetic and not at all uncomfortable!"

Miao Yu replied.

"That's good!"

Duan Gujin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He carefully sensed the auras around him, and he didn't detect any issues.

Moments later, a strong wave of Primordial Energy wrapped around his body.

He took a deep breath and quickly circulated his Primordial Power, swallowing, absorbing, and refining the Primordial Energy into his body.

"This isn't just ordinary Primordial Energy, this is Heaven and Earth Essence!"

He was overjoyed in his heart. He knew if he could absorb and refine the Heaven and Earth Essence, his cultivation might make significant progress.

How could he easily miss such a great opportunity?

An hour later, his skin began to emanate a golden glow.

Another hour passed, and his body became like a blazing fireball, emitting golden flames all over.

What startled Duan Gujin was witnessing the suppression of the previously released Giant Demon Elephant Martial Soul, and now on top of his head, the Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul appeared.

The Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul, like his body, was enveloped in bursts of golden light.

He checked the Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul and noticed starry spots of light twinkling on it.

"Heavens! Could it be that my Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul is transforming into a Star Dragon?"

Duan Gujin's expression subtly changed. He knew that even if a martial artist reached the Martial Saint Realm, it wasn't a given they could transform their Martial Soul into a Star Martial Soul.

But now, he had signs that his Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul was transforming into a Star Dragon Martial Soul, and how could this not shock him.

"What's going on here?"

Duan Gujin knew the Heaven and Earth Essence was extremely profound, capable of rapidly helping a martial artist enhance their cultivation. However, to see a star soul leap to a whole new level was unprecedented for him.

Had he not witnessed it with his own eyes, he would have never believed it to be true.

Now that he was experiencing it personally, a glint flashed in his eyes as he thought of a possibility.

"The Essence currently enveloping me must be neither Heaven and Earth Essence nor some other advanced type of Essence!"

He didn't ponder what kind of Essence it might be; time was of the essence, and he needed to swallow as much and refine as much of the Heaven and Earth Essence as possible.

He continued absorbing the Heaven and Earth Essence, allowing it to penetrate every cell, inch of flesh, and bone in his body, letting the Essence transform him.

As time slowly slipped by, Duan Gujin forgot about it completely.

Before he entered the Space-Time Treasure Hall, he had seen a record on a stele stating that if they couldn't pass the trial, as long as they stayed inside for a certain number of days, they would then be automatically transported out by transmission energy.

Hence, he wasn't worried about not being able to leave this place.

He focused on absorbing and refining the Heaven and Earth Essence that enveloped his body, enhancing his cultivation.

After an unknown duration, his tightly shut eyes suddenly snapped open, and his body shuddered.

"I've finally reached Martial Emperor Fourth Realm!"

He exhaled deeply. He wanted to look around, but found his field of vision was shrouded in thick fog. Though he intended to leave his current location, he discovered he was confined within a very small space.

Now, it was as if he was placed inside a gigantic tripod furnace that trapped his body, preventing him from leaving.

"It seems that I won't be able to get out of here unless I complete the challenge of this trial!"
