Eternal madness

Chapter 165 The Scramble!

"Hey, Master Wang Li, it's been a long time! It's been a long time!" A cheerful voice rang out, and the person in the lead was wearing a red brocade robe with flame patterns on it.

"Valley Master Tang, it's been a long time!" Xiao Li said, cupping his fists to Tang Zhen.

Xiao Li looked at Tang Zhen, whose realm remained unchanged at the peak of the four-star Dou Zun, which was within the normal range of improvement for a Dou Zun powerhouse.

Without other opportunities or elixirs, it would be impossible for a Dou Zun expert to increase their strength by even one star without decades of arduous cultivation.

Tang Zhen is the kind of strong person who steadily improves step by step.

"Judging from Valley Master Tang's rosy complexion, he must have obtained a good treasure, right?" Xiao Li said with a grin.

Tang Zhen nodded: "Indeed, we acquired a good item, but it's a pity that it might be left to gather dust now that it's in my hands."

Xiao Li wasn't interested in what Tang Zhen had obtained. With Tang Zhen's cultivation level, what could possibly be of interest to him?

Xiao Li then asked, "Valley Master Tang, are you still practicing alchemy?"

Xiao Li could smell a strong medicinal fragrance on Tang Zhen, but unlike Xiao Li and Wang Ming, the medicinal fragrance on Tang Zhen smelled somewhat bleak.

Tang Zhen nodded: "Yes, I've been obsessed with alchemy my whole life, but unfortunately I don't have the aptitude to be one. I've wasted a lot of time and ultimately achieved nothing. Perhaps I'm just not destined to be an alchemist."

Xiao Li shook his head: "Hey~ you can't be so absolute. There are only a few hard rules for alchemists to refine medicine. Valley Master Tang's soul power, fire control techniques and cultivation are all enough. He's just missing that wisp of wood energy in his battle qi to purify the medicinal properties."

"Couldn't Valley Master Tang just find a way to add a trace of wood energy to his battle qi? That old fellow Chi Yi in the Pill Tower succeeded, didn't he? What if Valley Master Tang has such luck? Who knows?"

Tang Zhen smiled and said, "Then I thank Master Wang Li for his kind words."

Xiao Li felt quite compatible with Tang Zhen, so she talked to him a bit more.

"Valley Master Tang, why does the Ice River Valley Master, Ice Venerable, exude such a strong poisonous aura? And the poison doesn't seem pure?" Xiao Li asked casually.

"Glacier, this guy has acquired the Calamity Poison Body. It is said that he obtained the corpse of a Calamity Poison Body from somewhere and grafted the Calamity Poison Body onto his body."

Then, by combining various poisons, he cultivated himself into an acquired Calamity Poison Body. It is only with this Calamity Poison Body that he can fight me to a draw. However, I have the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, so in a protracted battle, he cannot defeat me.

Unless his acquired calamity poison body can become innate, he will never be able to defeat me in this lifetime.

Tang Zhen told Xiao Li about the Ice Venerable.

Xiao Li suddenly realized: 'Oh, so this is the guy! So this is the one Teacher was beating up earlier. What a coincidence!'

"Since Valley Master Tang is so confident, why is your cultivation level the same as Ice Venerable's? Even this junior has surpassed Valley Master Tang." Xiao Li teased.

Tang Zhen blushed at Xiao Li's teasing: "Ah~ it's just that I'm very fond of alchemy. I spend most of my time practicing alchemy. I actually have less time for cultivation."

"Tsk, Valley Master Tang, I must say something about this. How can you put the cart before the horse? We alchemists all need to improve our cultivation and alchemy skills, but you are neglecting your cultivation because of alchemy?"

"You're not an alchemist to begin with, and if you keep messing around like this, it'll be hard to make any significant breakthroughs in your alchemy skills," Xiao Li said slowly.

"Then what am I supposed to do? People only have a few hobbies in life, right? Binghe likes digging up graves, so why can't I like making medicine?" Tang Zhen said somewhat displeased.

"Of course, the primary goal should be to cultivate diligently and improve your cultivation level. As for that wisp of wood energy, we'll figure out a way. Perhaps the Bodhi Transformation Saliva can help you, since it's related to the Bodhi Ancient Tree."

"The best wood-attribute treasure on the continent is the Bodhi Heart of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which is just a wisp of wood energy. The Bodhi Transformation Saliva should be fine," Xiao Li said, stroking his chin.

"Um...it does seem like a solution." Tang Zhen felt that Xiao Li's suggestion made sense and planned to go back and try it out. Boom—

Just as Xiao Li and Tang Zhen were chatting, the main hall shook again, and suddenly the spatial seal disappeared, replaced by a frenzy of many powerful figures fighting for the scroll!

The twenty orbs of light trembled violently, then burst forth with a dazzling light. Within this intense light, the scrolls of those orbs transformed into streaks of light and shot out from within the orbs!

The scroll flew out, and the entire hall instantly erupted in excitement!

Subsequently, the dozens of Heavenly Demon Puppets present awakened collectively. These Heavenly Demon Puppets had blood-red eyes and exuded a powerful aura! A dense killing intent spread out in that instant.

boom--

The ball of light vanished, and twenty streams of light of different colors burst forth from it. Through the luster, one could vaguely make out the scroll within.

An ancient aura emanated from these scrolls, causing the eyes of the powerful figures present to turn bloodshot instantly. Then, one by one, they rushed out to vie for the scrolls!

boom--

The Heavenly Demon Puppet moved, charging into the crowd before it, wielding its powerful fists to attack all living things!
However, their desire for Heaven-Rank cultivation techniques and combat skills clouded their judgment. At this moment, the powerful figures were incredibly brave and fought fiercely with the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

puff--

A powerful expert at the peak of the Dou Zong realm was instantly turned into a bloody pulp by the Heavenly Demon Puppet, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, but no one retreated. Instead, they fought even more fiercely.

Boom boom boom——

Countless fighting techniques slammed into the Heavenly Demon Puppet, and the overwhelming fighting energy directly engulfed it. Even the indestructible Heavenly Demon Puppet could not withstand so many attacks and was destroyed on the spot.

But the destruction of one Heavenly Demon Puppet seemed to enrage the group once again, and more than a dozen more Heavenly Demon Puppets gathered together.
"Oh no, they're about to merge again! Stop them!"

A powerful figure roared, then used his most powerful fighting technique to defeat a Heavenly Demon Puppet.

puff~
Just as this powerful figure was feeling triumphant, a strange scythe pierced through his body.

"Hehehe, too many flaws. I'll take your soul." A powerful figure shrouded in black mist wielded a strange scythe, wounding the two-star Dou Chong and then extracting his soul.

"Soul Palace! Black Scythe, what are you doing?" a powerful figure roared.

"Hehehe, what are you doing? What I do is none of your business. Do you need to judge what my Soul Palace does?" The elder named Black Scythe put the soul of the Dou Zun into his soul bag, and then prepared to launch another sneak attack on the other powerful figures.

Suddenly, a large, jet-black hand grabbed the neck of Elder Black Scythe.

"Ha, the Soul Palace reeks of disgust, die!"

Before Elder Black Scythe could utter a sound, he was burned to ashes by a ball of black flames.

"Dare to harm someone from my Soul Palace? Die!" Xiao Tianzun, who had been watching the show, suddenly flew into a rage when he saw his subordinate elder killed by a mysterious person, and wanted to kill the person.

whoosh-

Suddenly, a pale blue light struck, moving so fast that Xiao Tianzun didn't even have time to react before being swallowed up by the light. When the light dissipated, Xiao Tianzun's figure could no longer be seen.
Yun Yun, wielding Yuan Hong, approached Xiao Li, unleashing an astonishing sword intent that killed a Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace with a single strike!

It should be known that the Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace needs to have a cultivation level of at least five-star Dou Zun to hold the position, and this Xiao Heavenly Venerable had a cultivation level of six stars! Yet he was still instantly killed by the elegant and noble woman in front of him.
