"Ding! The host has used the True God Puppet Summoning Card and obtained one True God Puppet."
At this moment, as the system's voice fell, a blood-red vortex suddenly appeared on the floor. It seemed as though it had been summoned from a bloody hell.
This puppet was roughly the size of an ordinary person, dressed in blood-colored armor and a blood-colored cloak, imposing and awe-inspiring. The most surprising thing for Chu Yuan was that the puppet seemed to have blood and flesh. If it wasn't for the fact that it was labeled as a puppet on the summoning card, one might think it was a living person.
A mysterious method of refinement.
"Blood Eleven pays respect to my master!"
The puppet named Blood Eleven knelt in front of Chu Yuan.
"Blood Eleven."
Chu Yuan looked at Blood Eleven and nodded.
Now, apart from him, the great warrior that could deter a domain, Dawu finally had a presence that could face the Imperial Dynasty head-on.
"This puppet of yours is very special, a puppet of flesh and blood. What's your ability?" Chu Yuan asked.
"Blood Eleven comes from the Bloody Demon Realm. My master can establish a Bloody Altar. The more fresh blood Blood Eleven absorbs, the stronger it becomes. Blood Eleven's body is crafted from the flesh and blood of Demon God, with Demon God's bones condensed, containing the ability of the Bloody Demon God to devour fresh blood."
Blood Eleven responded.
"A Bloody Altar?" Chu Yuan said, "Not bad, this puppet of yours is quite special."
It's different from the Sky Soldiers.
Sky Soldiers are purely mechanical puppets using high technology, while Bloody Puppet is a kind of special flesh and blood puppet.
"Bloody Puppet."
Chu Yuan flipped open the true explanation of refining.
The true explanation of refining included a section specifically introducing various methods of puppet refining, including the Stone Statue Army, among which was the Bloody Puppet. It was a method of refining that was extremely bloody and cruel, using living flesh and blood, and possessing great potential for growth.
To refine a True God Puppet like Blood Eleven, one would need the flesh and blood of a True God.
Although the refining of puppets may be troublesome, the best advantage is that they are fearless in battle and loyal to their master.
They would absolutely follow any direction given by their master.
"Good."
Chu Yuan uttered a word of approval.
The summer of the thirty-seventh year of Dawu.
Several months had passed since the battle at Xuwang City.
In these few months, not only did the impact of that battle not fade away with the passage of time, but it also became increasingly shocking. Wise individuals, through observation techniques, could see the red-hot momentum of Dawu, thriving like a blazing sun, rising steadily.
"The River of Mankind."
The River of Mankind condenses the fate of the people and refines the past with the furnace of Heaven and Earth.
The more populace, the stronger the country, the larger the River of Mankind.
With this River of Mankind turning into numerous tributaries, nourishing a country, it caused an incredible change in the entire country. Many civilians actually awakened their human power.
In order to facilitate Ouyang Ming's rapid improvement in refining techniques, Chu Yuan had let him focus on improving his refining skills over the past few months rather than refining materials. Additionally, without the assistance of the refining masters from the Artifact Refining City, the Sky Calamity Cannon couldn't be built here.
He had long been coveting the Artifact Refining City and was determined to annex it.
"Your Majesty is going as well?" asked Ouyang Ming.
He was very excited. With the assistance of his Majesty, he felt more confident about securing the position of the City Lord. Discover hidden stories at empire
"I want to get a look at the Artifact Refining City up close to get a feel for its atmosphere, and incidentally bring back all the Refining Masters from there."
Chu Yuan said casually.
Long-term residence in the royal palace could get monotonous, but more importantly, Chu Yuan planned to take the entirety of the Artifact Refining City under his control.
"Your Majesty wishes to relocate the Artifact Refining City?"
Ouyang Ming was somewhat taken aback.
If this could be achieved, it would be even more shocking than exterminating Xuwang City.
"Otherwise, why would I let you take control of the Artifact Refining City?"
What he valued was Ouyang Ming's identity, after all, he was the former young City Lord. As long as he defeated Jin Chiyang in refining, taking over the Artifact Refining City would be a justifiable move.
However, Chu Yuan was not naive enough to believe that Jin Chiyang would willingly give up the position of City Lord to Ouyang Ming. Without powerful backers, Ouyang Ming's journey could be one-way.
Moving the Artifact Refining City is a major undertaking. The ones who needed to be won over were not strong individuals, but a city full of refining masters. It would not be fitting for anyone else to go, only he, the Emperor, could go to awe the crowd into submission.
He had been eyeing the big, fat meat of the Artifact Refining City for a long while.
How could he possibly not seize this opportunity to take over the Artifact Refining City?
Having so many refining masters under him, the pseudo god sky soldiers, the Sky Warship, and the stone soldier corps that were dormant at the bottom of the sea could all be revitalized.
Who wouldn't covet such a huge and juicy piece of meat?
Of course, Chu Yuan was well aware that it would not be easy to take over. The resistance from the Artifact Refining City was one thing, but a larger resistance could come from the Mysterious Imperial Dynasty.
Would the Mysterious Imperial Dynasty stand idly by as Chu Yuan moved the Artifact Refining City?
The answer was obvious.
Even if they had to kill all the refining masters, they would not want to see them used by Chu Yuan.
This refining competition might also become the first direct confrontation between Dawu and the Mysterious Imperial Dynasty.
"Blood Eleven will also accompany me."
Chu Yuan had already made plans.
"Prepare yourself. We will head to the Artifact Refining City tomorrow."
Chu Yuan declared.
Ouyang Ming was a piece on his chessboard for inheriting the throne position.
Blood Eleven was his trump card against the Mysterious Imperial Dynasty.
The next day, Chu Yuan and Ouyang Ming left for the Artifact Refining City.
