The entire Sky Holy Palace is an independent dimension and does not belong to the Dragon Demon Planet. Even if it absorbs energy from the Dragon Demon Planet, it is released through the transformation of Star Magic Power.

Therefore, the Sky Holy Palace does not belong to the Demon Emperor, nor does it belong to the Dragon Emperor.

However... most of the people inside the Sky Holy Palace possess the Dragon Bloodline within them. This can form the soil of belief, allowing Lanling to draw out a lot of power.

That’s why Hell Knight No.4 said to construct the Heaven-reaching Dragon Tower here.

Fu Lingxi suddenly said, "Then why not build a Heaven-reaching Divine Demon Tower to suppress the people of the Dragon Temple?"

Ji Xiuning (Hell Knight No.4) said, "Of course not, because besides a few powerful Demon Race members, there is very little Demon Race bloodline here, lacking energy soil. If the Heaven-reaching Dragon Tower is constructed, Your Majesty can almost extract energy from every samurai, tomb priest of the Dragon Temple. This will provide a tremendous advantage in the peak battle against the Dragon Emperor Puppet."

"Dragon Emperor Puppet?" Fu Lingxi asked in confusion, "I know of the Dragon Emperor Puppet, but it seems it still needs a long time before it can be successfully activated."

Ji Xiuning said, "In the last two days, you’ve persuaded hundreds of tomb priests to surrender to the Demon Emperor, yet the three giants of the Sky Holy Palace have not appeared or intervened. They must be preliminarily activating the Dragon Emperor Puppet."

Fu Lingxi whispered, "Huai Bingyi said the Lunar Holy Palace has taken action."

Ji Xiuning (Hell Knight No.4) said, "It’s just a bluff. Even if they take action, it’s only indirect, and it won’t change the overall situation. You should immediately construct the Sky-Piercing Dragon Tower. Complete it within twenty-four hours before the three giants of the Sky Holy Palace emerge."

Fu Lingxi said, "Each Heaven-reaching Dragon Tower requires tens of thousands of people several months to complete. How can eight hundred tomb priests finish it in one day?"

"Fool." Ji Xiuning shouted, "The Floating Heaven Palace itself already has an energy tower, controlling the energy matrix throughout the Sky Holy Palace. With minor modifications, it can become a Heaven-reaching Dragon Tower, and its power far exceeds the ground-based Heaven-reaching Dragon Tower."

Then, Hell Knight No.4 released various energy beams within the energy shield, and these beams formed a three-dimensional energy blueprint of the Heaven-reaching Dragon Tower in the air.

"Did you understand?" Ji Xiuning (Hell Knight No.4) asked.

Fu Lingxi looked at it for a while; it was too complicated to understand.

Ten minutes later, Ji Xiuning asked again, "Did you understand?"

Fu Lingxi shook his head and said, "Sorry, Your Highness, it’s too complex for me to comprehend at once."

"Fool, your mind is all about taking shortcuts." Ji Xiuning said, "Go call in four tomb priests, preferably King-level Ancestral Tomb Priests."

Moments later, four King-level Ancestral Tomb Priests entered.

"Understand the three-dimensional energy blueprint I provided and modify the Sky-Piercing Dragon Tower accordingly, understand?" Ji Xiuning (Hell Knight No.4) said.

The four tomb priests nodded and carefully studied the energy blueprint.

Just ten minutes later, the four tomb priests said, "We’ve memorized it completely."

Truly worthy of King-level Ancestral Tomb Priests, far more knowledgeable than Fu Lingxi.

Ji Xiuning said, "Currently, the three giants of the Sky Holy Palace are still activating the Dragon Emperor Puppet and don’t have time to manage here. You can roughly have over a day but need to complete the modification of the Sky-Piercing Dragon Tower as soon as possible."

Dragon Emperor Puppet?

Once these words were spoken, the four tomb priests’ faces changed drastically.

They knew about the Dragon Emperor Puppet and knew how strong it was. Wasn’t it supposed to not be fully modified yet? Supposedly requiring another one to two months to complete? How is it possible now?

Once the Dragon Emperor Puppet is deployed, it possesses Sub-emperor level cultivation, and there are still eight to nine hundred non-surrendering tomb priests. Under the command of the Dragon Emperor Puppet, defeating the eight hundred surrendering might seem effortless.

Ji Xiuning said, "I know what you’re worried about, but what’s there to worry about? Even if you die, His Majesty can resurrect you. As long as you complete the construction of the Sky-Piercing Dragon Tower before the Dragon Emperor Puppet arrives, you’ll be in an invincible position."

Fu Lingxi said, "Even if we complete the Sky-Piercing Dragon Tower, the Dragon Emperor Puppet could easily lead the enemy to destroy it. Wouldn’t it be a waste of construction?"

"Fool." Ji Xiuning said, "As long as the Sky-Piercing Dragon Tower is built, although blocked by the energy shield, the Demon Emperor can project his will onto this Dragon Tower. Then he can extract the power of all Dragon Bloodline martial artists, whether to construct an energy shield or for battle, wouldn’t that place us in an invincible position?"

The four tomb priests’ eyes lit up, saying, "Yes, that’s the rationale."

Ji Xiuning said, "Quickly go, you might only have one day. Before the Dragon Emperor Puppet arrives, you must complete the modification."

"Yes!" Four tomb priests promptly set off, leading hundreds of tomb priests to modify the high tower of the Floating Heaven Palace.

A fierce fervor, a mad investment.

Because only one day is available, if the modification of the Sky-Piercing Dragon Tower isn’t completed before the Dragon Emperor Puppet arrives, these eight hundred surrendering tomb priests are finished. Although Demon Emperor Lanling might resurrect them, whether he is willing to honor Fu Zilin’s promise is another matter, potentially ending in real death.

Therefore, it must be completed within a day!

...

Under the leadership of the three giants of the Sky Holy Palace, the Dragon Emperor Puppet, covered in golden light and towering hundreds of meters high, slowly flew towards the Cosmic Tower.

Indeed, it was still imperfect because the hundreds of energy matrixes and energy hearts replacing nodes had not matched properly. Therefore, energy frequently became chaotic, either accumulating or suddenly bursting forth violently. The body of the Dragon Emperor Puppet frequently exploded with a bang, resulting in flashes of light blasting outward.

The four giants dared not get too close, leading the Dragon Emperor Puppet from afar, passing through layers of barriers, entering the Cosmic Tower.

"Lunar Holy Palace deities, Your Majesty Sub-emperor has been brought here." Tian Daoqi said.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The energy matrix on the Dragon Emperor Puppet repeatedly exploded, energy chaotically bursting, and the entire Cosmic Tower swayed.

Suddenly...

A transparent light suddenly enveloped, fully covering the Dragon Emperor Puppet.

Then, countless energy messages surged into the brain of the Dragon Emperor Puppet.

This is the energy skill of the Lunar Holy Palace!

In just a few minutes, the energy turbulence within the Dragon Emperor Puppet gradually calmed down.

The terrifying golden light on it gradually subdued.

Originally, the Dragon Emperor Puppet radiated a burst of golden light, impossible to directly view. But now, it is merely a giant, Golden War God enveloped in golden light.

The whole body was shrouded in a special energy armor, but the outline of the body and face could already be seen.

Truly awe-inspiring, resembling the Golden War God.

Next, the Lunar Holy Palace continuously injected combat energy techniques.

The entire process of transforming the Dragon Emperor Puppet was relatively long.

Two hours, four hours, six hours...

Twelve whole hours passed!

Finally, the energy techniques from the Lunar Holy Palace were completely transmitted, and the transformation of the Dragon Emperor Puppet was complete.

The Dragon Emperor Puppet gradually opened its eyes, emitting a flame-like golden light.

It slowly stood up, gazing towards the three giants of the Sky Holy Palace.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!" The three giants of the Sky Holy Palace bowed down.

The Sub-emperor (Dragon Emperor Puppet) extended its hands and clenched them fiercely.

In an instant, the three giants of the Sky Holy Palace felt the energy within their bodies vanish completely.

"Whizz..." The Sub-emperor (Dragon Emperor Puppet) transformed into a stream of golden light, growing a pair of golden energy wings, and flew out like lightning.

The three giants of the Sky Holy Palace hurriedly followed.

...

Huai Bingyi, three Sky Priests, four Sky Judges, and nine hundred Tomb Priests were all gathered within the Nine Heavens Palace.

They knew that Fu Lingxi and Fu Zilin had already led eight hundred Tomb Priests to occupy the core Floating Heaven Palace. However, without orders from the three giants, they refrained from acting rashly.

Moreover, Huai Bingyi and the three Sky Priests felt that Fu Lingxi leading eight hundred Tomb Priests into the Floating Heaven Palace was futile. They couldn’t open the energy shield to allow the Demon Emperor Lanling inside, nor could they rescue the fourth Hell Knight. Occupying the Floating Heaven Palace was entirely meaningless, yielding only an empty title of having occupied the core of the Sky Holy Palace.

Suddenly...

The Nine Heavens Palace jerked violently, with all the surrounding energy madly fluctuating, as if every inch of the air were about to explode.

Huai Bingyi, three Sky Priests, four Sky Judges, and nine hundred Tomb Priests’ expressions changed dramatically.

Such a massive disturbance, could it be that Demon Emperor Lanling had broken through?

"Boom..."

The entire second level of the Sky Holy Palace shook violently.

The Sub-emperor (Dragon Emperor Puppet) landed forcefully, standing outside the Nine Heavens Palace.

The three giants of the Sky Holy Palace said, "Everyone inside, come out!"

Instantly, Huai Bingyi, three Sky Priests, four Sky Judges, and nine hundred Tomb Priests came out.

At first glance, they saw the dazzling golden Sub-emperor (Dragon Emperor Puppet), hundreds of meters high, truly resembling the Golden War God.

Shi Tian said, "This is the Dragon Emperor reborn from nirvana, yet you don’t kneel?"

Everyone was stunned?

Dragon Emperor? Wasn’t he finished? His Divine Dragon Nihility Bloodline was seized by Demon Emperor Lanling, so how could the Dragon Emperor be reborn from nirvana?

Shouldn’t the one before them be the Dragon Emperor Puppet?

However, just at that moment...

"Whizz whizz whizz whizz..."

Countless people felt the energy within them rapidly overflow, all drifting toward this Golden War God-like Sub-emperor (Dragon Emperor Puppet).

It was able to extract everyone’s energy, which seemed like plane authority that only the Dragon Emperor could possess.

Instantly, Huai Bingyi, overwhelmed with excitement, bowed and said, "Your subject pays respects to the Dragon Emperor, Your Majesty."

All the Sky Priests, Sky Judges, and Tomb Priests knelt and said in unison, "Your subjects pay respects to the Dragon Emperor, Your Majesty, long live, long live, long long live."

The three giants of the Sky Holy Palace knew well enough that even if the Dragon Emperor Puppet had undergone transformation by the Lunar Holy Palace, it could not become the Dragon Emperor. But they had no choice; they needed a banner to boost morale and unity.

"All Sanctuary Legions, assemble for His Majesty," ordered the three giants of the Sky Holy Palace.

Instantly, the Sub-emperor (Dragon Emperor Puppet) grew larger and taller, eventually becoming ten thousand meters tall, visible even from miles away.

"Whizz whizz whizz whizz..."

From the third level, second level of the Sky Holy Palace, countless Sanctuary Legions, temple samurai, flew in like meteors, all assembling behind the Sub-emperor (Dragon Emperor Puppet).

Then they knelt neatly and shouted in unison, "Pay homage to the Dragon Emperor, long live, long live, long long live!"

At this moment, Huai Bingyi knelt and said, "The core Floating Heaven Palace of the Sky Holy Palace has been occupied by the son of the Demon Emperor, Fu Zilin, and the Sky Holy Palace traitor, Fu Lingxi, with eight hundred rebels. I implore Your Majesty to send troops to quell the rebellion, to dismember the Demon Emperor’s son Fu Zilin, and execute the traitor Fu Lingxi by slow slicing!"

The Sub-emperor (Dragon Emperor Puppet) hoarsely said, "Approved! Send troops, expel the rebels!"

Then, the Sub-emperor, as tall as ten thousand meters, like the Golden War God, led hundreds of thousands of Sanctuary Legions, charging towards the Floating Heaven Palace.

Meanwhile, the Heaven-reaching Dragon Tower of the Floating Heaven Palace was completed!

The final battle is about to erupt!
