Dense, palm-sized symbols moved across the giant puppet's body. The puppet's height had already surpassed the tallest building on the street, yet no one seemed surprised by its appearance.
Or rather, people outside this street couldn't see this enormous puppet.
Plop plop~ The puppet's flesh kept surging, with its legs and fists covered in a thick layer of bone armor, appearing very solid and sturdy.
Tss~ A puff of white steam spurted from the puppet's back, and the giant puppet lowered its head to lock onto Lu Yu, its fist, the size of a person, smashing down hard toward him.
Rumble~ The ground trembled, and the tiles on the street lifted one after another.
The puppet looked up, seeing Lu Yu evade its attack by leaping away before its fist could hit the ground.
Lu Yu landed, stood on the puppet's arm, aimed at the puppet's head, and punched with all his might.
Fire spiritual power surged violently from Lu Yu's fist, transforming into a fierce gust aimed at the puppet's head. In its eyes, the puppet saw a huge red fist shadow expanding until it was all darkness.
Boom! With one punch, Lu Yu blew apart the giant puppet's head.
Yet the puppet did not stop; it raised an arm to sweep across, passing before Lu Yu, the violent airflow ruffling Lu Yu's hair.
Having lost its head, the puppet seemed to have lost its vision, unable to see Lu Yu; otherwise, it wouldn't have failed to hit even a person.
Gurgle gurgle~ Strange sounds emanated from inside the puppet, and Lu Yu saw a scene that would cause trypophobic people to faint: eyeballs sprouting all over the puppet's body.
All the eyeballs spun around, and once the puppet adapted to its new eyes, all of them focused on Lu Yu, making him feel like he was being stared at by many people.
"Need eyes to aid in combat?" Lu Yu muttered as he watched this scene.
His right eye lit up with a golden light, transforming into a golden sun, its brilliance expanding continuously until it enveloped Lu Yu entirely, turning him into a radiant sun.
The extreme scorching rays burned all the eyes staring at Lu Yu until they burst.
Pop pop pop~ The popping sounds of bursting eyes echoed, and blue smoke rose from the puppet's body, with the eyes burning and smoking. The parts not covered by skin also suffered varying degrees of burns.
The arm Lu Yu stood on was already visibly charred, scorched black, and carbonized.
Given a bit more time, this arm might be burned to ashes.
The symbols on the puppet's body flickered rapidly, and a cold force released from within the puppet, resisting the burning of Lu Yu's Celestial Falling Bright Flame, while the puppet's flesh turned dark green, resembling a zombie.
The zombified puppet had its defense and strength greatly enhanced, and it seemed to be able to lock onto Lu Yu's position without needing vision.
Its blackened claws plunged toward Lu Yu, the stench from the zombified puppet's arms reaching Lu Yu even from a distance.
Clang~ The claws scratched the zombified puppet's arm, producing golden sparks, barely piercing its own defense.
Lu Yu looked at the arm stopped in front of him and smiled slightly, then kicked out with one foot.
Crack~ The unbreakable black claw snapped like rotten wood, revealing desiccated, dark green flesh beneath, as the zombified puppet had no more blood left.
Standing on the broken finger, golden flames ignited under Lu Yu's foot, burning the dark green flesh.
Feeling a chilling force resisting his flames, Lu Yu channelled fire spiritual power into the puppet's arm, a deluge of it transforming into Celestial Falling Bright Flame from within to incinerate the arm.
The arm beneath his foot quivered, and Lu Yu released it, no longer suppressing it. The puppet's arm lifted, revealing golden firelights from within, making the arm turn translucent.
The symbols on the arm surged continuously, with the flesh contorting and changing form constantly, yet unable to purge the Celestial Falling Bright Flame from within.
Under the illumination of the Celestial Falling Bright Flame burning inside the arm, Lu Yu could clearly see all the changes in the symbols within the arm, noticing that the puppet's flesh would change along with the symbols' shifts.
The transformations of the puppet's flesh left Lu Yu mesmerized. It felt like he touched upon some insight. He focused intently on every change in the symbols, attempting to find what he desired from them.
Ultimately, the puppet chose to abandon that arm, severing it at the shoulder, and it fell to the ground.
Lacking a source of strength, the arm was soon incinerated completely, turning into a mound of black ash. Lu Yu stared contemplatively at the ash pile, his brows furrowed, feeling he was close to grasping a crucial point.
Boom! The ground beneath Lu Yu's feet exploded, as his calf was driven entirely into the ground by the puppet's other hand.
Lu Yu felt some discomfort in his neck and, looking up, pushed up the fist pinning on his head.
Still somewhat uncomfortable, he casually threw a full-strength punch to pulverize the pressure above his head.
Twisting his neck, there were cracking sounds from his neck, "Finally comfortable..."
Lu Yu looked up and saw that the flesh he had exploded displayed symbols on its surface. Under the power of the symbols, all pieces flew backward, reassembling into a new arm.
He froze, reaching out with spiritual power to grab a piece of flesh, pulling it before him, and despite the stench emitted, he reached out to touch the symbols on the flesh's surface.
