"The seal is about to disappear!"
As the voice fell, the ten orbs of light began to tremble violently, and then burst out with a blinding light. Within this light, the scrolls inside transformed into streams of light and shot out from within the orbs!
The scroll flew out, and the entire hall instantly erupted in excitement!
At the same time, the stone Puppet surrounding the stone seat suddenly opened their eyes, which had been closed for countless years, and a strong killing intent spread out in that instant!
The stone Puppet is slowly awakening!
The once quiet and tense hall suddenly erupted into a frenzy, as if a heavy bomb had been dropped into it. Almost instantly, everyone inside the hall was in an uproar.
As the ball of light vanished, ten streams of light of different colors burst forth from it. Through the luster, one could vaguely see the scrolls within. An ancient aura emanated from these scrolls, causing the eyes of many powerful individuals to turn blood red and their breathing to become heavy.
"Heavenly Tier Skill has been born!"
A burst of light erupted, and after a brief moment of silence in the hall, a scream suddenly rang out. Immediately afterward, a series of loud bangs echoed as powerful bursts of Dou Qi erupted from within the hall. Figures, like locusts, swarmed towards the scrolls that had transformed into streaks of light.
Despite being blocked by numerous powerful figures, the ten streaks of light seemed to possess their own intelligence. As they flew, they would automatically turn around, dodging all the incoming giant hands.
In mid-air, countless figures chased after the ten streaks of light, flitting about and exchanging blows. The sounds of fighting echoed through the air as figures coughed up blood and fell heavily to the ground beneath the main hall. A strong stench of blood filled the hall, making many people's hearts pound with fear.
"Go ahead and rob it, it's fake anyway."
Seeing the situation had completely spiraled out of control, Huo Xuan quickly moved aside to become a spectator, silently watching their spectacular performance.
Those ten scrolls were no ordinary items; they had clearly been manipulated, and obtaining them would not be easy.
In his perception, these ten streams of light all contained extremely strong and unusual energy. It was likely that the level of these Dou Techniques or cultivation methods would not be low. However, according to Huo Xuan's prediction, none of the ten scrolls reached the Heavenly Rank.
If I remember correctly, the true Heavenly Tier Skill was inscribed on that Dou Sheng Skeleton.
Watching the figures spitting blood as they fell to the ground, Huo Xuan remained unmoved. The ten scrolls held no appeal for him; for him, Heavenly Tier Skill held the greatest allure.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a series of piercing screams echoed through the hall. Everyone's gazes immediately turned towards the source of the sound, only to be met with a drastic change in expression. The stone Puppet surrounding the throne had all come to life, emanating an exceptionally dense aura of killing intent...
As soon as these Puppet awoke, they began to kill those nearest them. All of these Puppet were at the Dou Zun level, and their simultaneous attacks were incredibly terrifying. In a short time, the area within a hundred meters of the Puppet was stained crimson with blood, and a thick, pungent stench of blood permeated the air...
"The Puppet has awakened!"
Seeing this, everyone frowned and were terrified. These Puppet were all at the Dou Zun level, and now they were slaughtering indiscriminately, like tigers among sheep. Apart from some powerful forces, no one had the strength to fight against them. Usually, after two or three rounds, these Puppet would tear them apart.
These are not ordinary Puppet; they are Ancient Human Puppet. The souls of powerful individuals are extracted from their bodies using special methods and then sealed within the Puppet's body. Puppet created in this way not only possess intelligence but can also perform Dou Technique, making them far more troublesome than ordinary Puppet!
Inside the vast hall, the situation, which had been chaotic due to the struggle for the scroll, became even more disorderly with the addition of these Puppet who were blindly killing. At this point, the powerful figures and forces who wanted to reap the benefits could no longer stand idly by, because these powerful Puppet, whose minds were only focused on killing, had already included them in their attack range.
Huo Xuan glanced at the chaotic hall, and after a moment's thought, decided to remain neutral. He knew what was going to happen next, and that most of the treasure hunters present would meet their demise.
But that's fine too. The more one dies, the fewer opponents he has. When there are fewer flies, there will be fewer obstacles when competing for Heavenly Tier Skill.
Inside the main hall, some people are currently locked in combat with the Puppet, while others, unable to resist the temptation, lose their reason amidst the fluttering of the ten scrolls. They choose to ignore the Puppet's threats and relentlessly chase after the scrolls with bloodshot eyes. However, anyone who gets close to a scroll first is killed by the group behind them. In the midst of the surging Dou Qi aura, the person who obtains the scroll doesn't even have time to scream before being blasted into a cloud of blood mist.
Huo Xuan's gaze swept across the main hall, and he suddenly noticed that Old Ghost Zhai Xing and the other Soul Hall experts were actually surrounding the Dou Sheng Skeleton in the center of the hall and slowly walking towards it.
"Something terrible has happened!"
The group of Old Ghost Zhai Xing stepped into the area of the stone seat, their eyes burning with desire as they gazed at the skeleton sitting cross-legged.
The Dou Sheng rank holds an irresistible allure, even for them. While Dou Zun expert might be considered among the top experts on this continent, they are still far from the true pinnacle...
The leap from Dou Zun to Dou Sheng is almost a qualitative change; the gap between them is virtually insurmountable.
"So these are the remains of Dou Sheng Expert...?"
The Old Ghost Zhai Xing stared fervently at the jade-white skeleton, licked his lips, and took two more steps forward, his large hand reaching out to grab the skeleton.
"Boom!"
Just as the Old Ghost Zhai Xing was about to touch the Dou Sheng Skeleton, Huo Xuan Old Ghost Zhai Xing towards him like lightning, his hand clenched into a fist, and all the Dou Qi in his body was concentrated on his fist in that instant, and he blasted at the Old Ghost Zhai Xing with all his might.
"Bang!"
The fist slammed into Old Ghost Zhai Xing. The difference between Peak Six-Star Dou Zun and Five-Star Dou Zun is like heaven and earth. With just one punch, Old Ghost Zhai Xing was sent back dozens of steps.
"Puff!"
Blood gushed from the mouth of the Old Ghost Zhai Xing was in a sorry state. Seeing this, Old Ghost Zhai Xing Soul Hall experts who were with him quickly came to his side and helped him up.
"Star Picking Heavenly Venerable, are you alright?"
Old Ghost Zhai Xing seemed oblivious to their shouts, his gaze fixed on Huo Xuan, who dared to injure him not far away.
"Five-Star Dou Zun, yet his strength is so weak..."
Huo Xuan glanced at the Old Ghost Zhai Xing, left these words, and casually waved his hand. A burst of Dou Qi struck the space in front of the Dou Sheng Skeleton. The space collapsed, and a transparent barrier around the Dou Sheng Skeleton was exposed to everyone's eyes. The barrier was covered with many sharp spikes, and one could easily be injured by them if one was not careful.
According to the original plot, the Old Ghost Zhai Xing was pierced by those sharp spikes, and then his blood dripped onto the Dou Sheng Skeleton of the Dou Sheng Skeleton, thus reviving the Dou Sheng Skeleton.
Although it is not a true Dou Sheng, the remnant of a Dou Sheng Expert's soul is not easy to defeat. That is why Huo Xuan stopped Old Ghost Zhai Xing from touching the Dou Sheng Skeleton.
In the original story, you were accidentally awakened, but this time, you don't have that chance.
Huo Xuan raised his palm, and a suction force was generated from his palm. Immediately, the entire Dou Sheng Skeleton flew into his hand, and Huo Xuan immediately put the Dou Sheng Skeleton into his Storage Ring.
