“Maya, wake up!”

Merlin finally utilized the Illusory World. He knew that it would not affect the puppet much even when he used the Illusory World. He merely wished to awaken Maya.

Maya was currently in a suppressed state. His heart had been gripped by shock, but now Merlin’s voice rang beside his ear. At the same time, he felt that the unseen pressure had vanished instantly.

“Merlin?”

Maya soon recalled Merlin and could even differentiate the two types of invisible energy which were furiously clashing now. This caused him to regain his original powers and no longer be under suppression.

After he was no longer suppressed, Maya engaged in an intense battle with the puppet. They were equally matched. After all, even if the puppet was not suppressing Maya, it was still a being on par with Honored Legends, especially since its body was unbelievably solid. It had been hit a few times by Maya’s golden light, but it seemed completely fine.

Rattle…

Merlin joined the fray as well. His Maxim Chains that were as thick as arms weaved a huge net. He threw it over the puppet. The Maxim Chains were made of the ultimate Maxim, so it was equivalent to an attack from an Honored Legend.

The Illusory World had prevented the puppet from using “Mind Suppression”, so it was two Honored Legends trying to corner a puppet. Therefore, the puppet finally began to feel the strain. Its body was hit repeatedly. If it were not for its body’s special material that made it incomparably solid, it would have long been defeated by the joint efforts of Merlin and Maya.

Even so, it was unable to go on like this.

Swish!

The puppet retreated abruptly and yelled, “Stop!”

“Huh?”

Merlin and Maya looked at the puppet distrustfully. They had forced their way into the tower. This was already the third puppet, the final obstacle. If they could win this challenge, they would receive the inheritance.

However, this puppet did not look easy to deal with.

“Although you’re not members of the Purple Tribe, you’ve decided to force your way in. And one of you is able to block my Mind Suppression. Otherwise, no matter how many of you there are, it would be useless. Now I’m unable to stop you. According to the rules left behind by Master, you may enter the tower. Master had also prepared something good for you intruders who had forced your way in. But you’re not allowed to touch the inheritance of the Purple Tribe. Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, you won’t possibly escape this tower.”

With that, the puppet waved its hand. A passage appeared behind it. Merlin and Maya exchanged a glance, not knowing whether this puppet was telling the truth.

If it was true, it really was somewhat inconceivable. It turned out that the Master here had actually prepared something for intruders who forced their way in. Perhaps this was to ensure the Purple Tribe’s inheritance would not be taken.

The puppet seemed to sense their disbelief and lingering doubt, so it continued, “Before Master died, he was most worried about the Purple Tribe. Although he was powerful back then, very powerful, his Purple Tribe civilization was rather weak. In the entire Purple Tribe, Master was the only ultimate existence. Therefore, Master thought of various possibilities. In fact, he had already left some inheritances in the Purple Tribe, and here he left even more advanced inheritances. You don’t have to envy us because there’s no way to inherit these gifts without the blood of the Purple Tribe. If you tried to seize these inheritances forcefully, they would be destroyed in an instant. Furthermore, you’ll encounter Master’s greatest power which he left behind. It’s likely that both of you will be killed.

“However, if you don’t touch the inheritance of the Purple Tribe, you’ll get many benefits. Back then, Master had left behind some good stuff just for people who force their way into the tower. After all, as time passes, someone would bound to accidentally discover this place. If you don’t get any benefits, how could you possibly leave quietly?”

The puppet’s words made Merlin and Maya nod in silent agreement. This ultimate existence of the Purple Tribe was very insightful. He understood the fundamentals of human behavior, and he had no way of ensuring that no intruders would come to this dimension.

Therefore, it was best to prepare some benefits in advance for them. His only wish was for them not to destroy the inheritance.

Of course, some ultimate beings might immediately resort to punitive measures. In this sense, the ultimate existence of the Purple Tribe was comparatively “gentle”, at least he decided to give them some hope.

Merlin hesitated, then he looked towards the puppet and said softly, “The Mind Suppression you used just now–what is that?”

“This is the power Master has given me. Any Mind Power beneath me will be suppressed. The weaker the Mind Power, the more one’s capability will be suppressed. Even those who are on par with me would have their Mind Power suppressed for at least thirty percent!”

The puppet spoke candidly. Perhaps it was following the orders of the Purple Tribe’s ultimate existence.

Merlin became thoughtful, and a hopeful look flashed across his eyes. He asked quietly, “The method of Mind Suppression—can I learn it?”

“You want to learn Mind Suppression?”

The puppet shot Merlin a startled glance, but after careful consideration, it shook its head. “Master’s Purple Tribe has innately powerful Mind Power from the start. This is a unique feature amongst the countless civilization tribes. After Master became an ultimate existence, he gradually created this method, Mind Suppression, that can make can weaken an opponent.”

“Although it doesn’t affect ultimate existences much, for those who are below them, this technique is rather fearsome. This is one of the most important inheritances of the Purple Tribe. You’re not from the Purple Tribe, so you have no way of receiving this inheritance. I don’t know the specific cultivation method for this Mind Suppression technique either. Master had only carved an imprint in me, and that’s why I can use Mind Suppression.”

The words of the puppet disappointed Merlin greatly. He did not think that he would not be able to learn Mind Suppression. He knew clearly that Mind Suppression was far too significant to him.

Perhaps he might find an opportunity to break through to the realm of the Illusory Heart. Even if he could not, it was still a powerful way to use Mind Power. Based on Merlin’s current mastery of Mind Power, or even Titus, they would not be able to create Mind Suppression.

At first, Merlin had thought that Mind Power was something unique to Spell Casters, but now it looked like the Purple Tribe was even more frightening. They were born with vigorous Mind Power.

“Did your Master become an ultimate existence through achievements in Mind Power?” Merlin asked in a hurry. He had thought of a crucial inquiry.

“Mind Power? No, no, no. Master was lucky elsewhere. In early years, he was not in the Purple Tribe, and the cultivation methods he learned aren’t from the Purple Tribe. Even his transformation into an ultimate existence had nothing to do with the Purple Tribe. It was just because he was a member of the Purple Tribe, so after becoming an ultimate existence, he focused on Mind Power and created a set of cultivation methods for the Purple Tribe. Mind Suppression is among one of the more impressive battle techniques.”

Merlin was somewhat rueful. Still, he wanted to take a look at what the ultimate existence of the Purple Tribe had left behind first before making up his mind.

“Alright, we’ll follow you. Lead the way.”

With that, the puppet led the way for them. Merlin and Maya remained cautious throughout the journey, following behind the puppet carefully. They still dared not believe this puppet entirely.

The purple puppet brought Merlin and Maya directly to the highest floor of the tower. Here, everything was purple, including the thick crystal pillars which looked magnificent.

“Both of you, this is Master’s place of inheritance.”

Merlin and Maya were wary, but after the puppet opened a part of the transparent crystal wall before them, a wave of boundless Mind Power descended instantly.

Merlin and Maya were suppressed, not even able to exhibit half of their powers.

“What fearsome suppression. What’s going on?”

Maya and Merlin gazed closely at this gigantic transparent screen that somehow had invisible Mind Suppression. Merlin had the utmost familiarity with Mind Power. He could sense that this Mind Power was like Titus, nothing more than a Mind Projection.

The ultimate existence of the Purple Tribe had died already, leaving only his Mind Projection behind. In that case, as time progressed, this Mind Projection would gradually disperse as well. After all, even though the Purple Tribe’s ultimate existence was powerful, not everyone could perfect the Mind Power system and consolidate a wondrous thing such as the Illusory World.

Only Titus was able to rely upon the Illusory World to have a theoretical hope of “resurrection.” Otherwise, even if one was an ultimate existence, dead meant dead, and resurrection was impossible.

“Don’t be afraid. This is the Mind Projection left behind by Master. He’ll tell you everything!”

After the puppet spoke, an enormous purple figure emerged on the crystal wall before them. He seemed to exude endless dignity, and his gaze was as vast as the boundless Void Zone.

Merlin had encountered ultimate existences before. The three Great Arcane Wizards of the Spell Caster civilization were not strangers to Merlin, and also the Lord God of Light and the Rock Tribe’s Progenitor and so on. They were all ultimate existences.

However, no one had inspired such awe in Merlin as this purple figure did. It looked as if it could surpass the three Great Arcane Wizards.

Upon noticing Merlin and Maya’s stunned expressions, the puppet said proudly, “Noble Master was one of the Void Zone’s Thirty-six Ultimate Existences back then. There are millions and millions of tribes in the Void Zone, producing a significant number of ultimate existences. Even so, there are differences amongst ultimate beings, and the strongest ones were the Thirty-six Ultimate Existences. In the endless Void Zone, they’re also called the Thirty-six Emperors!

“Master was born from the weak Purple Tribe civilization. In the end, coinciding with a new epoch, he used only a few centuries to rise and became an ultimate existence. Following that, he grew stronger and stronger and finally became the Purple Emperor, one of the Thirty-six Ultimate Existences! He commanded a vast region in the Void Zone and endless civilization tribes. Master’s past achievements could be said as half legend and half myth. It’s just too bad that a crisis erupted. Master battled alongside the other thirty-five Emperors against this crisis of the Void Zone, but they all died in the end.”

A trace of grief could be detected in the puppet’s tone.
