Chapter 611: Dozens of Demon Puppets Blocking the Way The Old Monster of the Phoenix Clan!
Upon entering the Ancient Ruins, Wu Tian and his group found themselves standing before a peculiar Flame Passage.
For Wu Tian, handling such flames was effortless. However, instead of extinguishing them, he simply led his group forward, stepping deeper into the tunnel.
This flame filled path served as the first trial of the ruins, designed to filter out the unworthy. Only those with great luck and strong will could make it through.
The exit lay somewhere below hard to locate for most, but to Wu Tian, who could sense the flow of the flames, it was as clear as day.
At the end of the passage was a vast open plaza.
From afar, at the sealed stone gate, ten towering figures stood upright completely motionless, as if they had been there for thousands of years.
Their skin was a dazzling silver, their eyes lifeless, and their expressions blank.
"These are… Earth Demon Puppets?"
"Why are there Earth Demon Puppets here?!"
Aside from Wu Tian, everyone was shocked.
After all, Earth Demon Puppets were a signature technique of their own Pavilion Master.
Yet here they were, guarding the entrance to this ancient ruin…
Could this place somehow be connected to Wu Tian?
Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, Wu Tian merely smiled mysteriously, saying nothing.
After all, keeping a bit of mystique only made him look more impressive.
The presence of these ten Earth Demon Puppets was enough to deter most challengers. Their strength was at the peak of Dou Zong, making them an immense obstacle.
But if Earth Demon Puppets were here…
Would there also be the even more terrifying Heavenly Demon Puppets?
The women glanced at Wu Tian's smile and rolled their eyes.
He had the nerve to mock the deceased Dou Sheng, claiming he was "showing off even after death"… yet he himself was doing the exact same thing!
"Looks like behind this stone gate lies the true depths of the ruins," Qing Lin murmured.
"Indeed! But the gate is tightly sealed, and there are faint spatial fluctuations… It's clear that brute force won't work. The key to opening it must be related to these ten puppets," one of the elders thoughtfully analyzed.
"No need."
Wu Tian dismissed their theories with a casual wave of his hand.
"Boom!"
The massive stone gate swung open instantly.
At the same time, the ten Earth Demon Puppets' eyes flickered briefly with silver light, then fell into dormancy once more.
"Uh…"
"That was… brutal."
For most people, an Ancient Ruin was a treacherous trial of life and death filled with both danger and opportunity.
But for someone as powerful as Wu Tian, this was nothing more than a casual errand.
He had even been "considerate" enough to let the ruin open itself instead of smashing through immediately.
But instead of letting others deal with the ten puppets…
Wu Tian smirked and waved his hand again
And suddenly, fifty more Earth Demon Puppets appeared!
The Pavilion's elders and disciples were left completely dumbfounded.
Fifty more puppets?!
What the hell was their Pavilion Master trying to do?!
And it didn't stop there
Wu Tian then arranged them into two neat rows, forming a solid blockade in front of the passage entrance.
Now…
Anyone who tried to enter would have to face not just ten puppets, but sixty!
And if that wasn't bad enough
Wu Tian waved his hand a third time
And three Heavenly Demon Puppets, glowing with dark gold energy, appeared at the front!
"Uh…"
"This… is just pure evil."
Heavenly Demon Puppets had the combat power of Dou Zun experts!
Not only did Wu Tian casually throw three of them here, but he even placed them at the very front.
Anyone who entered without knowing would be obliterated on the spot.
Ten Earth Demon Puppets alone had the combined strength of a Two Star Dou Zun.
But now, with sixty Earth Demon Puppets and three Heavenly Demon Puppets…
Even a Peak Dou Zun would struggle against them!
This was beyond cruelty it was downright sadistic!
Just as the stone gate fully opened, a wave of ancient energy rushed out, making everyone instinctively straighten their postures.
Unlike modern times, this aura carried a solemn, almost divine quality.
Wu Tian and his group glided into the ruins, their silhouettes disappearing beyond the massive gate.
Then
"Boom!"
The stone gate slammed shut, sealing itself once again.
But this time…
Reopening it would require defeating all the puppets Wu Tian had left behind.
Previously, one only needed to defeat ten Earth Demon Puppets.
Now?
They would have to survive sixty Earth Demon Puppets and three Heavenly Demon Puppets!
Too cruel…
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
The sounds of explosions and agonized screams echoed through the Flame Passage.
The cause?
The Heavenly Demon Puppets had detected intruders and thrown their first punches.
The result?
Countless powerhouses instantly exploded into blood mist.
Those charging in with excitement were brutally slaughtered before they even had a chance to react.
The survivors stood paralyzed in horror, their faces twitching uncontrollably.
"Damn it, Wu Tian actually set up a puppet army!"
"What the hell…"
"Wait! These puppets weren't set up by him! Look at the stone gate it's linked to the Earth Demon Puppets! To open it, we must defeat them!"
"Does it even matter?! We have no choice but to fight!"
Unlike the scattered rogue cultivators outside, those who had entered the ruins consisted of:
The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan
The Nine Nether Earth Python Clan
The Heavenly Underworld Sect
Several other major beast clans
They had completely sealed off the Bone Mountains, preventing outsiders from entering.
But
Because of that…
They were now the only ones being slaughtered.
"We need to hurry and take these things down, or else we'll get nothing!"
The leaders of each faction grimaced.
If the entrance was already this heavily guarded, what kind of monstrous dangers lay deeper inside the ruins?
At that moment
A dignified voice rang out.
"All of you, step aside."
A tall elder, clad in luxurious robes, stepped forward from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's ranks.
His gaze was ice cold, exuding an overwhelming aura of dominance.
The moment he appeared, everyone instinctively froze
He… was not someone ordinary.
