When the acupoint lit up, the mummy started to shudder slightly.

Regardless of whether he could refine it or not, Jiang Yi's heart was making somersaults. As long as there was a reaction, it was worth a try. He immediately injected copious amounts of heavenly powers into the remaining acupoints as each one of them was jolted alive.

Jiang Yi did not care about anything else as he entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man. He used one hand to send out Sword Emanations Race beings while another to inject heavenly powers into the mummy. The acupoints lit up one by one, and Jiang Yi wanted to see what would happen after all hundred and eight of them were triggered.

Time passed little by little as the Sword Emanations Race beings were being destroyed every moment. The number of Sword Emanations Race beings left in Jiang Yi's Wintry Pearl grew lesser and lesser. However, Jiang Yi did not care about this at all as he focused all his attention on the mummy as his heavenly powers surged into it crazily; and the acupoints came alive one by one.

Five minutes... ten minutes!

More than seventy acupoints had been triggered. Every time one of them was triggered, the mummy's body would move slightly; and that acupoint would shine brightly. Although Jiang Yi only had less than sixty thousand Sword Emanations Race beings in his Wintry Pearl left, Jiang Yi couldn't be bothered anymore.

Swish!

On the other side, He Nongying had rested for a while as she suddenly stood up and floated downward. She looked at the stone stage Jiang Yi was on and then at the treasure box above her as she shook her head slightly and headed northward. She didn't speak a word to Dao Feng.

Swish!

Young Mistress Gongyang also flew downward. She and He Nongying had both given up. After Jiang Yi was killed, they would then head to somewhere else to find more treasures.

"Hurry, hurry! He is releasing fewer and fewer puppets; he is running out of them!"

"Kill, kill!"

"Hahaha!"

He Nongying had walked ten thousand feet away when she suddenly heard a commotion behind her. Her footsteps stopped as she turned and faced the stone stage, wanting to see how a talent was going to perish.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The King-Ranked formidable martial artists' attacks grew even more ferocious as the Sword Emanations Race beings were destroyed in fell sweeps. Jiang Yi was indeed releasing his Sword Emanations Race beings slower and slower; he had very few Sword Emanations Race beings left.

After another two minutes, Jiang Yi's Wintry Pearl lit up once more. However, nothing came out. Jiang Yi was startled awake as he focused his thoughts into the Wintry Pearl, and his face darkened. All of his Sword Emanations Race beings had been used up, and he only had a few hundred left ahead of him. In two volleys, these would be destroyed as well.

"Three acupoints left!"

Jiang Yi howled as he disregarded the Sword Emanations Race beings, and he circulated his heavenly powers crazily, shooting them into the remaining three acupoints.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It actually didn't take two volleys. After one volley, most of the remaining Sword Emanations Race beings were eliminated; and his body was finally exposed.

"Hahaha, Jiang Yi, continue to release more; don't you have many puppets? Do go on..."

"Young Master Feng, we can see Jiang Yi!"

"Kill, kill!"

More than ten beams of shooting stars soared forward and destroyed all the Sword Emanations Race beings left in front of Jiang Yi; a few of these shooting stars were heading straight for Jiang Yi.

Right at this moment...

Jiang Yi triggered the final acupoint as the entire mummy flashed in black light, and it moved vigorously—it actually stood up. At this moment, a message suddenly entered Jiang Yi's brain as he was overjoyed and shouted, "Mummy, move!"

Swish!

As if it teleported—within a flash, the mummy was standing in front of Jiang Yi and blocked the incoming attacks. It then bent as its hand grabbed hold of Jiang Yi.

"Uh..."

Everyone was frozen as they stared at that Godfiend-like mummy, standing upright on the high stage. They stared at that mummy's pitch-black, empty eyes as they felt its menacing presence emanating. Everyone felt as if they had become children again, standing before a huge and ferocious beast.

"This... Jiang Yi actually managed to refine the mummy?"

He Nongying's brows rose as her face revealed her surprise. Refining a mummy was a very complicated process; it was said to require a very long time. Many restrictions and array formations had to be laid and set-up inside the mummy, or else it was impossible to control it. Logically, it couldn't be so easily refined.

"Do not panic!"

Dao Feng's reaction was swift as he shouted out. He did not believe that Jiang Yi had so easily refined this mummy. He knew more than He Nongying regarding this matter and believed that Jiang Yi could not possibly refine this mummy so quickly.

He waved as all the young masters and young mistresses gathered around him. He took a few looks as the King-Ranked formidable martial artists on the pagodas and palace as he roared, "Attack! Kill Jiang Yi..."

Swish! Swish! Swish!

All the King-Ranked formidable martial artists attacked at the same time as their attacks soared forward, locking onto Jiang Yi who was being held within that mummy's hand.

"Keke!"

Jiang Yi had not moved an inch after being grabbed by the mummy; he had actually closed his eyes. At this time, he also didn't open his eyes but smirked a little as light shone in his hands. He injected tens of slivers of Power of Heaven and Earth into the mummy, and it immediately became a shadow as it moved swiftly on the stone stage, easily evading the incoming attacks.

"Head up!"

Jiang Yi shouted. The next scene utterly stunned everyone present—!

That mummy heavily kicked off from the stone stage, and it exploded upward like a sharp sword, charging up the thousand feet distance easily as its other hand swiped and grabbed onto the treasure box. The treasure box shone but was forcibly pulled down by the mummy's hand.

Young Mistress Gongyang and He Nongying had thought of all ways and tried all methods; they had given it their all but had not been able to get hold of the treasure box. This mummy had easily jumped and taken one? Everyone's eyes revealed their envy; this treasure box definitely contained a rare treasure.

"Haha, a bunch of imbeciles! You guys can only think of treasures on the brink of death?"

A crisp voice rang out as He Nongying spoke from far away, and she then transformed into a breeze and sped away. She didn't bother with this situation anymore.

Young Mistress Gongyang, Dao Feng, and others took a moment before they realized what He Nongying meant. Dao Feng yelled, "Retreat—"

"You think you still can retreat?"

Jiang Yi's eyes suddenly opened wide as the mummy handed the treasure box to him, and he kept it inside his ring. One of his hands lit up as he injected more Power of Heaven and Earth into the mummy, and it bolted forward. It stepped on the stone stage and then leaped a thousand over feet, easily landing on one of the pagoda structures.

"Flee!"

The few men on it initially still thought of attacking. However, seeing a dark-green glowing claw swiping at them, they grew pale as they hurriedly leaped downward, trying to escape.

Tsk! Tsk!

One of the King-Ranked formidable martial artists was rather slow and was heavily clawed by the mummy. His Primitive Spiritual Treasure battle armor was destroyed layer by layer as the mummy's claw easily entered his chest and tore it apart. He died tragically on the spot.

"Run—"

Dao Feng and company saw this sight as they lost all hope. Jiang Yi had indeed refined the mummy; its fighting strength was so terrifying it made them shudder. It could even tear through Primitive Spiritual Treasure battle armor while its speed was horrifying; its defenses were unbeatable as well. If they still didn't flee now, all of them were going to die.
