Eternal madness

Chapter 201 Sky Tomb
"The Heavenly Tomb is extremely large. I obtained a map of the Heavenly Tomb from a friend of the Thunder Clan. The tomb of our ancestor Xiao Xuan is on the third level."

We are currently on the first level. We need to enter the second level first. Due to the special environment inside the Heavenly Tomb, we cannot fly for long periods of time, so we have to rely on walking.

"At our current cultivation level, it will probably take us two months to reach the entrance to the second level. Let's go."

Xiao Li led the team toward the entrance to the second level.

Suddenly, Xiao Li quickly raised his hand and then clenched it tightly.

As Xiao Li's hand clenched down rapidly, the energy in that area quickly condensed, and in the blink of an eye, the mist there completely dissipated, revealing a phantom-like figure that appeared faintly before everyone's eyes.

"An energy entity?" Pei Yuhan and Pei Yurou were shocked. They had only just entered this Heavenly Tomb and they had already encountered an energy entity.

Xiao Li pointed his finger, and the illusory figure suddenly twisted and then exploded with a "poof." A stream of light the size of a thumb rushed towards Xiao Li and grabbed it.

"The energy core here is even more concentrated than that of the Gate of Life and Death. That energy body just now was probably at the level of a three-star Dou Zun. Grandpa, you should try this thing. It's a good thing."

Xiao Li tossed the energy core to Xiao Ting, who caught it and sensed the immense energy contained within the thumb-sized crystal.

"Just hold it in your palm and circulate your cultivation technique to absorb it," Xiao Li said.

Xiao Ting nodded, and then began to circulate his cultivation technique to absorb the energy from the energy core.

Shortly after

"Such pure energy! It's so easy to absorb, and it has even improved my cultivation level a little. If there were enough, it would be no problem for me to reach the seventh star," Xiao Ting exclaimed.

“There probably isn’t anything good on the first floor. Let’s go straight to the second and third floors; the energy cores there are of a higher level,” Xiao Li said.

"go!"

And so Xiao Li and the others proceeded toward the entrance to the second level.

. . . . . .

Three months later, on the second level of the Heavenly Tomb,

A strange energy barrier appeared, and four people emerged from it.

"careful!"

Xiao Li quickly arrived in front, conjuring a ball of pitch-black fire in his hand, which began to grow larger and larger.

Boom——

Several attacks landed on the fireball in Xiao Li's hand.

"It's actually an energy body that has reached the Nine-Star Dou Zun level. Not bad. Let's try this move! Heavenly Flame Blazing Sun!"

The Heavenly Flame Shines in the Sun, a low-level Heavenly Rank combat skill, whose creator is unknown. Xiao Li obtained this Heavenly Rank combat skill from the Space Trade Fair. It uses his own fire to condense into an incomparably huge fireball, intending to destroy the world.

The black fireball in Xiao Li's hand began to grow larger, reaching a size of a thousand feet in just a few breaths, just like the sun.

"go with!"

Xiao Li hurled a thousand-foot-long black fireball toward the nine-star energy body.

Boom——

A gigantic mushroom cloud slowly rose.

"Husband, aren't you going a bit too far?" Pei Yuhan said slowly.

"Really? I was just itching to use it. After all, I haven't used the [Heavenly Flame Radiant Sun] much since I mastered it, so it's perfect for dealing with this energy body."

Xiao Li waved his hand and said that he had been itching to use his skills for a long time. He had so many Heaven-rank fighting techniques, but he had never used them on anyone, which was a pity.

Xiao Li arrived at the center of the explosion, where a basin had formed. He saw more than a dozen energy cores, one of which was the largest and had the most concentrated energy.

"Oh, there's an unexpected bonus." Xiao Li laughed, taking all the energy cores away. He planned to absorb them after arriving at Xiao Xuan's tomb.

What Xiao Li didn't know was that these nine-star energy entities, equivalent to a nine-star Dou Zun, already possessed some intelligence. They were essentially superior beings among energy entities, capable of easily controlling other energy entities. This area should now be considered their territory. Outside this light barrier happened to be the territory of a nine-star energy entity, and naturally, it acted when its territory was threatened.

Xiao Li continued to lead the group toward the entrance to the third level, collecting energy cores from any energy entities they encountered along the way.

After about a month, Xiao Li arrived at the light screen on the third floor.

"let's go."

Xiao Li and his group then entered the light curtain.

"Hmm? No, this light screen is actually solid, not just pure energy. It's more like a crystallization of energy. Tsk! This is going to be tricky!"

Xiao Li touched the light screen and found that it was actually a layer of crystal wall, which was extremely solid. Without the strength of a five-star Dou Zun or above, it was impossible to leave a mark on it.

"Then what should we do?" Pei Yuru asked.

"Hey! I've got it! Come out, Heavenly Demon Puppet!" Xiao Li released all the Heavenly Demon Puppets on his body.

Nearly a hundred celestial demon puppets and earth demon puppets lined up in a square formation, waiting in front of Xiao Li.

"Good! Puppet Grand Combination!"

At Xiao Li's command, nearly a hundred puppets quickly merged together, eventually forming a puppet that was nine zhang tall and exuded an astonishing aura.

"Break through!"

Xiao Li ordered the fused Heavenly Demon Puppet to break through the crystal wall in front of him!
After receiving the order, the Heavenly Demon Puppet turned around and swung its iron fist, which was bigger than a sandbag, at the light screen!

Boom——

Each punch created a deep crater. The Heavenly Demon Puppet led the way, with Xiao Li and the others following behind.

"Hmm? Can you feel the surrounding crystal walls contracting?" Xiao Li asked.

"It seems so!"

Xiao Li frowned: "Something's strange, the Heavenly Demon Puppet is accelerating!"

The Heavenly Demon Puppet's punches were getting faster and faster, and the contraction of those crystal walls was also accelerating.

"Xiao Li, look! There are so many snow-white insects over there." Pei Yuru pointed around, a chill running down her spine. She hated insects.

"This is... an ancient Devouring Insect!"

Ancient Devouring Worms are small magical beasts that lived in ancient times. They are extremely small in size, but their numbers are endless. As the name suggests, they can devour everything and then continuously secrete pure energy. Originally, such creatures should have become extinct long ago, but I never expected to encounter them here.

Xiao Li quickly summoned the strange fire and used it to envelop everyone and the Heavenly Demon Puppet. The envelopment consisted of two layers: a gentle yang fire that enveloped everyone's bodies, and a powerful yin fire that enveloped the yang fire from the outside.

Even the Heavenly Demon Puppet was covered by the Yin-Yang Heart Flame. These ancient devouring insects eat everything, so the Heavenly Demon Puppet was undoubtedly a buffet for them. Xiao Li couldn't bear to part with so many puppets. He had collected them for a long time and couldn't let them go to waste.

laugh--

Just as Xiao Li had expected, no matter how powerful the ancient devouring insects were, they could not devour the strange fire. Once they came into contact with the Yin fire, they turned into ashes in an instant.

However, this undoubtedly put a huge strain on Xiao Li himself. Controlling the strange fire like clothing requires extremely strong fire control techniques and extremely strong soul power.

"Taking pills!"

Xiao Li felt that his fighting spirit was greatly depleted, so he immediately took an eighth-grade six-colored pill to restore his fighting spirit.

After traveling for about half an hour, Xiao Li had already consumed four Rank 8 pills.

As the Heavenly Demon Puppet's fist slammed into the passage, the entire passage trembled violently. Then, a small crack suddenly appeared on the crystal wall, which quickly expanded.

"We've reached the finish line!"
