Heavenly Demon Puppet

Hun Tianchen raised his hand. Under the horrified gazes of countless people, he clawed fiercely at the gate with the force of thunder.

Soul Dragon Tearing Heaven Claw!

Crack!

With just one claw, the sturdy gate was instantly torn apart!

"This..." Everyone's minds went blank at the sight.

If this gate could be opened so easily, would they have waited here foolishly for so long?

This was a ruin left behind by a Dou Saint!

Its defenses could not possibly be so weak.

Yet the gate had broken the moment Hun Tianchen made a move?

Shaking his hand, Hun Tianchen took the lead and entered with Queen Medusa.

However, being the first to enter meant they would inevitably face some traps.

The pitch-black passage suddenly turned crimson. The solid floor slowly cracked open, and scorching red magma erupted from within. At the same time, dazzling blue pillars of fire burst violently from the stone walls of the spacious passage.

Hun Tianchen snorted coldly. A phantom Black Dragon coiled around him and Queen Medusa, shielding them from the flames as they charged straight in.

With this precedent, many people's eyes immediately reddened, and they rushed into the passage one after another. They all thought the flames were not particularly dangerous.

But that was a grave mistake.

The moment these people were touched by the blue fire pillars, they turned into piles of ash before they could even let out a scream.

Seeing this, no one dared to step forward.

Hun Yu's face twitched again, his expression somewhat numb.

"Brother Tianchen is too formidable..."

After the chaos continued for a while, the threat of the fiery passage seemed to lessen, and only then did the people from the major factions begin entering.

Hun Tianchen, who had entered first, had already figured out the secret of the fiery passage. The true entrance to the Ancient Ruins lay beneath it. He stomped down hard and forcibly entered the lower entrance with Queen Medusa.

Queen Medusa was also startled by his domineering behavior. All along the way, he had acted so high-profile. Even when facing traps, he neither dodged nor avoided them, simply crashing straight through.

Yet despite advancing in such a manner, he had not suffered the slightest injury. His strength was truly terrifying to the extreme.

At the end of the passage was a plaza. Without much thought, Hun Tianchen stepped onto it with Queen Medusa. His gaze halted at the far end of the plaza, where an exceptionally heavy Stone Door stood. Before it stood ten figures as straight as spears, eternally stationed there. Their skin gleamed silver, their eyes were hollow, and their faces expressionless, like ancient corpses.

Hun Tianchen recognized them. They were all Earth Demon Puppets.

Remembering how Xiao Yan had come here and taken all these Earth Demon Puppets away, Hun Tianchen let out a slight sigh and did not step forward.

These puppets were too weak. He had no need for them.

Of course, he was no saint. He had not rushed ahead of everyone else just to clear every trap for them.

He would leave these Earth Demon Puppets for them to deal with. His targets were the people of the Ancient Races.

Queen Medusa was about to make a move when Hun Tianchen stopped her.

"Queen, there's no need to act. We're not here to babysit those people behind us. We can't solve everything ourselves."

All ten Earth Demon Puppets were at the peak Dou Zong level, so they could be considered fairly strong.

"Beyond this Stone Door lies the true Ancient Ruins. But forcing it open with brute strength won't be easy."

Hearing Hun Tianchen's words, Queen Medusa's jade-like hand lowered unconsciously.

He was right. They could not handle everything personally. They would leave these ten puppets to the others.

The others arrived swiftly as well. In just a short while, they had all reached this place.

Everyone saw Hun Tianchen sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, but none of them knew what he intended to do.

As for the cold, stunning beauty beside him, who seemed rather bored as she waited, her nearly perfect, ripe figure drew the attention of quite a few people.

Beauty always stirred the desires in people's hearts.

Queen Medusa was extremely displeased by those brazen gazes. With a raise of her hand, seven-colored light fell upon those whose eyes were filled with greed. Instantly, cries of agony rang out.

As Queen Medusa made her move, everyone sensed the powerful fluctuations of her aura and could not help but be shocked.

"Five-Star Dou Venerate!"

Even the woman beside that white-robed man possessed such high cultivation. Just how strong was the man himself? He was truly unfathomable.

Seeing the fate of those who had harbored lustful thoughts, most of the men restrained their gazes.

Hun Yu, meanwhile, led the Hun Clan members to wait beside Hun Tianchen with delighted expressions.

Having someone powerful to rely on felt great.

As for the people of the other Ancient Races, their hearts sank when they saw those puppets.

"They're all peak Dou Zong puppets. We'll suffer if we go up against them."

Thus, they wisely chose to wait.

In matters like this, there would always be someone unable to hold back and make the first move.

Before long, after a round of whispers and hesitation, a gray-robed elder slowly stepped forward. Judging from his vast aura, he was clearly a Dou Venerate expert.

Hun Tianchen did not even need to look closely to know that this elder was merely the lowest level, a One-Star Dou Venerate.

As for the sect to which this gray-robed elder belonged, Hun Tianchen had even less interest in such trivial matters.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the elder walked toward the Earth Demon Puppets. Vast Dou Qi swirled around him as he strode directly into the encirclement of the ten Earth Demon Puppets, looking exceptionally bold and confident in his skill.

Crack!

The instant the elder stepped inside, low sounds like bones grinding against one another rang out from the ten Earth Demon Puppets. Then, ten cold and hollow gazes locked directly onto the gray-robed elder.

With a clench of their hands, silver light surged, and ten brilliant silver spears appeared in their grips.

Swoosh!

Brilliant silver light flashed as the ten figures shot forward like bolts of lightning, instantly whipping up fierce winds as they attacked the gray-robed elder.

"Just a few broken puppets, and you dare stop this old man?"

Seeing this, the gray-robed elder laughed loudly and charged barehanded into the puppets. Vast Dou Qi erupted forth, and every punch he threw sent one puppet staggering back step after step.

"A Dou Venerate truly is different," Hun Yu said with great admiration.

But Hun Tianchen merely glanced over before closing his eyes again to rest.

"Fool."

Hun Yu and the others froze for a moment before turning their gazes back toward the battlefield.

As the puppets were driven back one after another, the ten Earth Demon Puppets suddenly halted. Silver light flickered in their eyes, low roars rumbled from their throats, and their feet shifted in unison, instantly forming a strange formation.

Silver light flickered as streams of energy like silver serpents burst forth from their bodies, linking them all together and forming a circular cycle.

Roar!

Before the astonished gaze of the gray-robed elder, the silver light on the leading Earth Demon Puppet gradually dimmed, while specks of golden light rapidly emerged and spread across its entire body.

The Heavenly Demon Puppet, now evolved into its golden form, fiercely threw a punch at the gray-robed elder, sending him flying roughly thirty meters away as he spat out blood.

This sudden change in the arena caused many faces to shift slightly. They might not fear ten Earth Demon Puppets at the peak of the Dou Zong realm, but they could not help but be wary of a Heavenly Demon Puppet whose strength had reached the level of a Two-Star Dou Venerate.

For a time, the plaza fell into an awkward atmosphere. Everyone wanted to enter, but none wished to risk their lives against these puppets.
