Chaotic Battle
Upon entering the main hall, the first thing that catches the eye is a dozen or so figures sitting cross-legged around the towering stone throne...
These figures were entirely limestone in color, and from a distance they looked like stone sculptures, with their eyes closed, and it was impossible to know how many years they had been preserved.
"Another puppet?"
This question immediately arose in the minds of many people.
However, these puppets in front of them were clearly much stronger than the previous Heavenly Demon Puppet; otherwise, they wouldn't have been placed in such a place to guard them.
People from various factions were present, including some well-informed individuals. When they saw the puppets in front of them, their expressions changed drastically.
Behind Mo Tang, Bi Wu frowned and whispered to Mo Tang and the others, "Be careful, those puppets are not ordinary things, they are Ancient Human Puppet!"
These puppets were made from the extracted souls of powerful individuals. They not only possess the characteristics of ordinary puppets, such as invulnerability and immense strength, but more importantly, they can also use the Dou Technique they used in their previous lives!
This is a group of invincible Dou Zun expert, tell me, aren't you scared...?
"As expected of the Ruins of Dou Sheng Expert, with this guardian lineup, if a battle were to break out..." Zi Hong shook his head as he spoke of fighting.
Mo Tang smiled slightly and said, "As the saying goes, people die for wealth, and birds die for food. Isn't it all caused by greed?"
This statement, which contains wisdom about human survival, obviously did not gain the approval of those present, Zi Hong, who was standing next to him, even rolled his eyes at him.
"Are you insulting me or yourself?"
Mo Tang was speechless.
How could we forget there's such a large flock of "birds" here...
Of course, the most captivating thing in this hall wasn't any human puppets, but rather the ten orbs of light floating in the sky...
It's obvious that the legendary Heaven Tier Dou Technique is likely located within that ball of light, making it the most eye-catching element.
"How can there be so many? Which one is the Heaven Tier Dou Technique?" Huang Xuan, dressed in black robes, frowned.
The chieftain of the Earth Tiger Clan, dressed in a tiger robe, laughed and said, "Why worry about so much? Just take them all!"
The Silver Moon Wolf Clan chieftain beside him gave the brute a disdainful look and said coldly, "If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!"
Even with the current strength of Mo Tang and his group, there were hundreds of powerful individuals present, and they couldn't withstand such a large-scale attack...
Mo Tang merely glanced at the orbs of light and said calmly, "Don't worry, let them grab them first. We'll find an opportunity to strike later, prioritizing our own safety!"
They were just some High-grade Earth-tier Cultivation Method and Dou Technique. Although they couldn't be considered common items, they weren't particularly valuable to the people present.
Mo Tang's true goal was actually the Dou Saint Remains sitting cross-legged on the throne!
At this moment, probably no one present would have imagined that the real Heaven Tier Dou Technique was actually inside those bones.
Oh, by the way, it seems that the master of the Soul Hall knew about it, but unfortunately he only asked that Star-Picking Old Ghost to take the corpse back.
The real secret, however, was not told to the other party.
As for why the Soul Hall doesn't send stronger individuals, based on what Mo Tang understands from the original work and the information he currently has, it's likely that the Soul Hall has already begun plotting against other races among the Eight Ancient Clans.
At this point, let alone the Soul Hall's Dou Sheng Expert being too busy to deal with such trivial matters, even the Soul Clan probably couldn't spare many Saint level or higher experts to stir up trouble.
Even so, the Heavenly Venerables of the Soul Hall alone are enough to crush 90% of the forces on the continent, so Mo Tang still needs to accumulate his own power.
As more and more powerful individuals arrived, the atmosphere inside the hall became increasingly subtle and tense...
Nobody knows whether the person who was just laughing and chatting with you will stab you in the back without hesitation in the coming days!
In this atmosphere, some forces with some connection or powerful acquaintances began to secretly discuss joining forces.
After all, in the ensuing chaos, it would be impossible for one person alone to actually obtain the treasure.
The increasing number of powerful figures inside the main hall caused Mo Tang to frown slightly. He then gave Xiao Yi Xian a wink, reminding her to be careful later.
Sizzle!
A steady stream of hurried figures continued to rush in from outside the main hall.
The atmosphere inside the hall grew increasingly heavy and oppressive, causing many people to break out in a cold sweat, their inner Dou Qi poised to erupt at any moment...
Time slowly passed.
The seal binding the ten orbs of light was also getting weaker and weaker.
Finally...
The moment the seal completely disappeared, chaos began!
The blinding light made many people squint.
Under this intense light, the ten scrolls instantly transformed into streaks of light, bursting forth from within the ball of light!
It was like flipping a switch at a glance...
The once silent hall erupted in chaos as countless figures soared into the sky, carrying immense Dou Qi as they charged toward the scrolls.
Mo Tang did not move...
Seeing this, Sky Demon Phoenix and the others behind him also suppressed their eagerness.
In fact, it wasn't just them who didn't move; groups like the Soul Hall, the Heaven Nether Sect, and the Blazing Flame Valley also remained inactive.
Because their attention was focused on the puppets.
Before Mo Tang and the others' eyes, the stone puppets surrounding the stone seat suddenly opened their eyes, which had been closed for countless years, as the seal disappeared...
A strong sense of killing intent spread out in that instant!
"Pfft!"
In mid-air, countless figures darted about, the sounds of fighting echoing through the air. Then, one after another, figures coughed up blood and fell, finally crashing heavily beneath the main hall...
The deep, muffled sound sent chills down many people's spines; these guys were going all out to kill.
However, this is not the cruelest part.
In Mo Tang's view, a One-Star Dou Zun level expert luckily grabbed a crimson scroll...
Just as he was overjoyed and about to rush out of the main hall with his things, a grayish-brown arm suddenly pierced through his chest from behind...
Within that blood-stained gray palm, a bright red heart was still beating faintly.
"Ah...!"
With a scream, the Dou Zun expert died instantly.
Even the corpses were torn in two by the fully revived puppet!
The corpse fell to the ground below the main hall. The crimson scroll, which had been held in the other's hand, seemed to possess sentience, breaking free from their grasp and flying back into the air.
