People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 273 The Inheritance of the Dou Sheng
Despite the presence of many powerful Dou Zong experts, none of the twenty-seven puppets were confident of victory.

Immediately, some clever people started secretly sending messages to invite others to form teams.

We can't rely on those Dou Zun powerhouses to overcome these minor obstacles, can we?

We're all strangers, who would be so kind?
However, just as these people were having a good time, they saw a beautiful figure step out from the crowd and appear in front of a group of Earth-level Heavenly Demon Puppets in a flash.

Many people were stunned to see this.

Even Yao Chen and Venerable Feng glanced at Chen Xiao with some surprise.

Why is Zixiao Pavilion being so proactive?
He could feel countless eyes on him, but Chen Xiao remained calm and offered no explanation.

Before these powerful figures could figure it out, the green scales in the arena had already begun to move.

She had extensive dealings with the Heavenly Demon Puppet and understood its core essence very well.

With Qing Lin's strength, dealing with a Dou Zong-level puppet would be a piece of cake.

Therefore, all that countless people saw was that each time Qinglin Yu's hand reached out, it could freeze a puppet in place. After easily erasing the soul imprint in the puppet's body, she would casually throw the puppet into her storage ring.

As for the puppet's counterattack, to everyone's eyes, it didn't seem like an attack, but rather like it was eagerly walking into a trap...

With the puppet's proactive 'cooperation,' only a few minutes later, only Qinglin remained in the arena.

All the puppets were taken into their possession!
"Pity…"

Among the crowd, Yao Chen shook his head slightly.

They witnessed the entire process of Qinglin collecting the puppets and understood Zixiao Pavilion's plan: they clearly wanted to take all these puppets for their own use.

Twenty-seven Dou Zong-level warriors—that's quite a force!

Once they understood this, they couldn't help but feel annoyed that they hadn't thought of it immediately.

Otherwise, they would definitely be able to get a share of the pie!

Now that the die is cast, it's too late to try and take over the puppets.

It's really unnecessary to offend Chen Xiao and Qing Lin for the sake of just a few puppets.

"Please make yourselves at home."

Ignoring the envious glances, Qinglin said something with a cool expression and flew back.

The group stopped dwelling on the matter. Without the puppets' obstruction, their minds became active again. They exchanged glances and, in perfect unison, over a hundred figures simultaneously darted out and rushed into the dark passage.

This was just the fastest-reacting group; behind them, a dense crowd surged in.

"Sect Master, we..."

"Go ahead, but be careful," Chen Xiao nodded.

With his powerful soul perception, he could sense that at the other end of the dark passage, there was intense fighting, but unlike the battle between puppets, it was a fight between cultivators.

This shows that the first wave of danger behind this passage has been completely eliminated.

"Yes!"

The disciples and elders responded and rushed towards the passage in a group, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Chen Xiao, with Qing Lin in tow, followed at a leisurely pace.

The remaining powerful figures, having witnessed the events unfold for so long without any unexpected incidents, also set off and surged into the main hall.

As he passed through the dark passage, Chen Xiao stared in astonishment at the scene that appeared before him.

What appeared before him was a colossal palace, like an independent little world, making him appear exceptionally small.

Chen Xiao glanced around and noticed that there were many deep corridors around the main hall, leading to who-knows-where. At this moment, many forces and powerful individuals who had rushed in were beginning to rush into those corridors in batches, and the fluctuations of battle could be heard from time to time. "Qing Lin, let's go take a look too."

Sensing the battle fluctuations emanating from each passage, Chen Xiao quickly discerned them and immediately led Qing Lin towards the passage with the most intense fluctuations.

The passageways of the giant hall were extremely spacious. The two flew through them, and along the way, they could see some other powerful individuals who had come to search for treasure.

Upon seeing Chen Xiao and his companion, all of these people immediately distanced themselves, as if afraid of being targeted by them.

Along both sides of these passageways, there are numerous pavilions, where people throng and the aftershocks of battle continue.

"Young master, it is a mid-level Earth-rank combat skill."

"A high-level Earth-rank cultivation technique."

"This pavilion is full of pills, but they are all below the eighth grade, and their medicinal effects are almost gone."

"It's a high-grade seventh-rank pill formula..."

Whenever a fight broke out, the two would stop to observe.

When encountering an attic that has not been entered, it will also enter to search.

Unfortunately, the two of them didn't get anything useful from beginning to end. The most valuable thing they had was a high-level fire-attribute earth-rank cultivation technique.

For ordinary strong individuals, this would be a considerable gain, but in the eyes of Chen Xiao and Qing Lin, it was just average.

It seems the real treasures of the ruins are not here!

boom!
Suddenly, a deafening roar, like a mountain collapsing, resounded in the hall, drawing everyone's attention.

Chen Xiao and Qing Lin immediately returned the way they came and arrived at the center of the empty hall.

In the once empty hall, a massive stone pillar, tens of feet tall, descended from the sky, standing like a pillar supporting the heavens in the center of the hall.

The stone pillar is surrounded by a dense array of steps, winding and twisting as if reaching straight to the sky.

At the same time, a cold, emotionless voice echoed throughout the space.

"I am the Devouring Void Serpent Saint!"

"You may take whatever you wish from the miscellaneous items on the first floor of the main hall."

"The inheritance of this seat is all on the second level; those with the right destiny may obtain it!"

The few cold words, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, sounded like mechanical pronouncements.

However, upon understanding the meaning behind what the other party was expressing, the breathing of all the powerful figures in the hall became rapid.

The name "Void-Devouring Serpent Saint" immediately suggests a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) level expert!
The legacy of a Dou Sheng powerhouse…

If we could obtain this, wouldn't it greatly increase our chances of advancing to the Dou Sheng realm?
Such temptation is irresistible to any Dou Zun!
Even Chen Xiao, who possessed a Bodhi heart and had paved the way forward, was slightly moved.

No wonder there weren't many treasures on the first floor of the main hall; it turns out all the good stuff was on the second floor!

"Hehehe, the master here has already made it clear that it will be obtained by the destined one. Everyone, this Dou Sheng inheritance is destined for my Tianming Sect. I will take my leave first!"

After a long silence, Liu Cang, who had been concealing his strength, let out a strange laugh and led the Tianming Sect experts to leap up the steps, quickly ascending the stairs.

"Dream on!" A furious shout from someone in the crowd shattered the silence.

One by one, the powerful Dou Zun no longer cared about saving face for each other and rushed up the steps to the second floor of the main hall.

This powder keg is finally about to be ignited!
