Eternal madness

Chapter 162 Bring it to you
"Hiss~ What terrifying puppets!" Xiao Li gasped. Twenty Heavenly Demon Puppets could be played with like this?
Xiao Li currently only possesses three Heavenly Demon Puppets, and his fourth Heavenly Demon Puppets are still one more Pill Thunder Baptism away. Yet, he has twenty Heavenly Demon Puppets guarding the gate, equivalent to twenty Dou Zun guarding the gate, which is truly terrifying.

Xiao Li also discovered that the highest level of those twenty Heavenly Demon Puppets was a six-star Dou Zun, and the lowest level was a two-star Dou Zun. And these Heavenly Demon Puppets could actually fuse directly? In any case, Xiao Li's puppets couldn't do that.

"Why don't we give it a try?" Xiao Li suddenly had an idea. He summoned a seven-star Dou Zong level Earth Demon Puppet and then ordered it to rush towards the giant purple-gold human puppet.

The silver earth demon puppet appeared out of nowhere and charged towards the giant human puppet.

It was thought to be a case of an egg hitting a rock, but to everyone's surprise, the Earth Demon Puppet merged directly into the purple-gold Heavenly Demon Puppet after they came into contact.

"It actually fused? Can you sense the soul imprint within my Earth Demon Puppet?" Xiao Li unleashed his full soul power, attempting to sense the soul imprint within the Earth Demon Puppet.

After a few breaths, Xiao Li suddenly opened his eyes, then released all his puppets, and then lightly bit his tongue and spat out more than a dozen drops of blood containing soul power.

"Go, distribute this blood into the puppet's body!" Xiao Li gave the order to his puppet.

"Li'er, have you discovered something?" Wang Ming asked, leaning closer.

"Hmm, it seems I'm quite lucky. That special Heavenly Demon Puppet has the ability to fuse with other puppets. My puppet, being of the same origin as it, will be absorbed and fused. In that case, I'll subdue it from within."

Xiao Li took out a jade bottle and poured out a pill to restore his blood and qi. He had just lost a lot of blood, so he needed to recover.

At this moment, the seven-zhang-tall purple-gold Heavenly Demon Puppet was wreaking havoc, and several three-star Dou Zun had already been killed by this Heavenly Demon Puppet.

Many powerful individuals joined forces to destroy this troublesome puppet.

Whoosh whoosh—

Xiao Li's puppet army arrived, all carrying Xiao Li's special blood. Without the slightest hesitation, they directly entered the body of the Purple-Gold Heavenly Demon Puppet.

To everyone's astonishment, the dozen or so gold and silver puppets that entered were all merged into the body of the Purple-Gold Heavenly Demon Puppet. As all the puppets entered, the Purple-Gold Heavenly Demon Puppet grew another ten feet tall, its body becoming even larger, and its aura becoming incredibly powerful.

Xiao Li closed his eyes and used his soul power to manipulate the soul imprint within the Purple-Gold Heavenly Demon Puppet.

boom--

The Purple-Gold Heavenly Demon Puppet tore apart the protective shield created by more than a dozen Dou Zun powerhouses with a single punch. Just as the Purple-Gold Heavenly Demon Puppet was about to deliver the final blow, its fist suddenly stopped.

"Stop? What happened?"

The Purple-Gold Heavenly Demon Puppet then looked at Xiao Li's position, walked heavily to Xiao Li's side, and then knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully to Xiao Li.

"Hmm~ Not bad, not a waste of effort, a half-saint level puppet is very good." Xiao Li said with a smile.

The others in Yin Valley were surprised that Xiao Li had actually taken over this powerful puppet.

"That kid actually subdued this puppet! How is that possible?"

Suddenly someone shouted, "They're fighting to the death, only to benefit others; this is something they cannot tolerate!"

"That person looks like Master Wang Li, who was second in the Alchemy Competition." Some people also recognized Xiao Li's identity.

"Master Wang Li? He became a Dou Zun in just a few years? That's impossible! He's clearly an extremely powerful Dou Zun."

"Don't you know? After Master Wang Li finished the Pill Tower, he went traveling with his teacher. It is said that he accidentally entered a secret realm with a different time flow and stayed there for more than fifty years."

With his talent, reaching the Dou Zun level in over fifty years wouldn't be unusual. Then, becoming a Dou Zun made refining eighth-grade pills even easier. Reaching his current level through eighth-grade pills is perfectly reasonable. Some people also knew about Xiao Li and revealed his information.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. After all, they found it hard to believe that someone could cultivate from a Dou Huang to a Dou Zun in less than ten years. The fact that they fell into secret realms with different time flow rates made perfect sense.

With a thought, Xiao Li dispersed the eight-zhang-tall purple-gold celestial demon puppet, which then transformed into more than thirty puppets of various colors, including gold and silver, with gold puppets accounting for more than 60%.

"I didn't expect that Wang Li still likes to play with puppets. He used such despicable methods. Back in the Pill Gathering, he always carried a Dou Zun-level puppet with him, which caused a lot of people to suffer."

Some of them were participants in the alchemy gathering back then, and perhaps out of jealousy of Xiao Li's achievements, they spoke ill of him.

However, no one paid him any attention. How could a glib-tongued person compare to a Dou Zun powerhouse and an eighth-grade alchemist?

Xiao Li didn't care about all that; he was just studying these Heavenly Demon Puppets. He discovered that these Heavenly Demon Puppets all shared a common aura, as if they had been made using the same materials. Moreover, all twenty Heavenly Demon Puppets were engraved with special array patterns.

"I see. It's about fusing the puppets into the array. At crucial moments, it can also absorb other puppets to forcibly increase its strength."

Xiao Li stroked his chin and said, after all, he had quite a bit of knowledge about puppets and saw through the mystery at a glance.

He originally just wanted to try his luck and see if this Heavenly Demon Puppet could absorb his puppet. If it could, he would have room to maneuver. Unexpectedly, it actually could.

Xiao Li then obtained information from the Heavenly Demon Puppet, which turned out to be the guardian of the stone gate and the signpost of the ruins.

Xiao Li looked at the five stone gates, which from left to right were: the Medicine Garden, the Pill Hall, the Main Hall, the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion, and the Weapon Pavilion.

Xiao Li was going to try his luck at the Pill Hall, so he sent a telepathic message to everyone, preparing to head in that direction.

"We'll go to the Pill Hall first, then the Herb Garden. We need to find the corresponding key in the other four stone gates before we can open the middle one."

Xiao Li transmitted his voice, sharing the information he had just received from the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

"Look, everyone, there are four strange grooves on the door in the middle, like keyholes."

A powerful figure suddenly spoke up.

"In my experience, four keys are needed to open this stone door, which must be the location of the main hall."

Most of those who come to explore the ruins of the Battle Saint are seasoned veterans with rich experience, and can see the rules of the ruins at a glance.

"In that case, let's start looking for the key."

creak-

Just as everyone was discussing, except for the middle stone door that required a key, the other four tightly closed stone doors suddenly made a creaking sound, and the heavy stone doors slowly opened a crack.

"Charge! Find the key, find the treasure!"

As the stone gate gradually opened, a desolate and ancient aura slowly drifted out, driving many powerful individuals into a frenzy, each rushing towards the stone gate.

Xiao Li and the others headed towards the second stone gate on the left, which led to the Pill Hall.
