Blow Up the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor

A shrill cry rang out as one of the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's demonic wings was severed at the root and fell from midair, blood spraying out endlessly.

The Phoenix Cry Sword cut through the sky and returned to Zhang Tian's side, its blade wrapped in wisps of Azure Lotus Core Flame like strands of thread.

"Roar!" Though the pain was unbearable, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor had more than one wing, after all. This was not enough to make it lose its combat strength.

A humanlike look of hatred and fury appeared in those eyes. Its triangular head let out an enraged shout, and dozens of streams of black qi surged toward Zhang Tian like black dragons, trying to drag him in.

"Hmph, petty tricks." With a cold snort, the Dragon Yin Halberd directly shattered the void, and the black qi instantly vanished.

"You've actually reached such a terrifying level." The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor spoke in human language, its dark, gloomy eyes filled with fear and the urge to retreat. Something capable of damaging space was no longer an opponent a mere Dou Emperor could contend with.

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor swung its massive tail, trying to leave the battlefield in a few twists and rolls. Zhang Tian pressed forward, throwing out the Dragon Yin Halberd as the Phoenix Cry Sword slashed down.

The spear tip burned with a cluster of Azure Lotus Core Flame, scorching the void as it directly pierced through the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's body, giving off a charred stench like roasted meat. The Phoenix Cry Sword was incomparably sharp; a huge sword aura surged up, and the flaming slash cut straight through the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's body, leaving only a bit of flesh and skin still connected, nearly cleaving it in half at the waist.

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor was scared out of its wits. In just a single instant, one punch, one spear, and one sword had left two Dou Emperors—one dead, one grievously wounded.

"Roar! Do you really think you can kill this emperor?" the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor roared furiously. Its enormous body lunged straight at Zhang Tian, the sharp horn on its head aiming to pierce through his body.

"Roar!" Just before closing in, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor abruptly changed its move. It raised the sharp horn on its head and opened its bloody maw wide, biting toward him, intending to swallow him in one gulp.

"Vast Sea Seal, Ripple Calming Seal." His hair whipped wildly as his hands interlocked and formed seals. A massive fire seal rose where he stood, swelling with the wind, and in moments it reached over ten zhang in size. It struck the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's gaping maw, and the enormous recoil sent Zhang Tian flying backward.

"Pfft." The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor spat blood across the sky. Its huge snake head was knocked crooked, countless teeth scattering from its mouth as blood sprayed everywhere.

"Roar!" The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's ferocity did not lessen. Seeing Zhang Tian blown away, a vicious light flashed in its eyes, and its massive tail swept out again, coiling Zhang Tian inside.

Zhang Tian gripped the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's tail tightly with both hands, every muscle in his body taut. Dou Qi erupted continuously, and specks of Azure Lotus Core Flame ignited on his palms.

"Rip!" With a tremendous sound, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's body, which had already been on the verge of snapping, was torn directly into two pieces.

"Die!" A gigantic hand filled with flames directly seized the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor. Specks of Azure Lotus Core Flame flared, and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor only had time to scream once before it was burned to ash.

"Huff, huff, huff." Dou Qi formed a light barrier outside his body, blocking the scattered venom of the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, yet it was still corroded with a sizzling sound. The giant palm dispersed, and he took out the remaining huge horn from within.

This spiral-shaped giant horn was the one from the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's head. At this moment, it was already twisted and limp; if it had burned for even a little longer, it would likely have turned to nothing.

The originally purple-black spiral horn had already turned a pure white like mithril. If used to forge a longsword, it would definitely make a fine weapon.

"Unfortunately, for Control Sword with Qi, one sword is enough." Rather than sending ten thousand swords across the sky, it was better to focus on controlling one sword faster and more powerfully.

Picking up the Dragon Yin Halberd that had fallen into the Tagor Desert, Zhang Tian's mind stirred slightly. Dou Qi wings formed, and he directly left the Tagor Desert.

The sun soon sank behind the mountains. Unlike the scorching heat of the day, the desert at night was cold as water. The cries of some unknown insects echoed out, and many magical beasts opened their scarlet eyes and came out to hunt.

Within a small mound of earth, a tiny figure broke through the sand and soil. It seemed to be a small magical beast.

Under the moonlight, a small magical beast with a three-winged snake body looked at the sky. On the top of its triangular head was a horn so tiny it was almost invisible.

"He's finally gone. To think this emperor was forced into such a state."

"Once this emperor recovers his strength and evolves again, this emperor will definitely return to Heavenly Serpent Palace and annihilate this puny Gama Empire."

The Three-Winged Black Serpent's voice rang out, filled with killing intent and anger. It looked in the direction of Heavenly Serpent Palace and was just about to leave the Tagor Desert to recover its strength and evolve again.

"Little one, you've become this tiny, yet your temper is still so fiery." A voice that the Three-Winged Black Serpent would fear for the rest of its life echoed through the night of the Tagor Desert, making its entire body stiffen.

"How did you know!"

"Heh." Zhang Tian shook his head and chuckled softly.

"No, I didn't know. I just subconsciously felt you wouldn't die that easily."

A small green flame flickered lightly from his fingertip. Its position was perfectly accurate as it landed on the Three-Winged Black Serpent's body. The shrill scream lasted only an instant before vanishing. In the entire Tagor Desert, apart from the faint flare of firelight in that brief moment, there was no more movement in the night.

"The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor... rather interesting." Zhang Tian pondered carefully. It evolved from the Two-Winged Black Serpent, and each additional pair of wings raised its strength by a level.

The Two-Winged Black Serpent was a third-rank magical beast with exceptional talent. Each time it evolved a wing, it rose by one level.

Four wings meant Dou Ling, six wings meant Dou Wang, and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor was a terrifying sixth-rank magical beast. Then did ten wings mean Dou Zong, twelve wings Dou Zun, fourteen wings Dou Sheng, and sixteen wings Dou Di?

"Haha." He shook his head and chuckled softly. In theory, the Two-Winged Black Serpent was indeed a race with extremely high growth potential and an extremely high ceiling, even surpassing the Void Ancient Dragon Clan and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

But in reality, this race's potential and foundation were only at that level. Growing to eight wings was already extremely difficult, and the difficulty of breaking through to ten wings was even greater than that of a human breaking through to Dou Zun.

"The Azure Lotus Core Flame's power really is formidable." Carefully sensing the Azure Lotus Core Flame in his hand as he continuously pulled and distorted it, Zhang Tian himself found the violent energy contained within it somewhat unbelievable.

With the help of the Flame Emperor Mantra, the Azure Lotus Core Flame displayed tremendous power, even surpassing the Azure Lotus Core Flame after Xiao Yan had devoured it.

"The fusion of twenty-three kinds of Heavenly Flame is itself a force at the Dou Di level." Why was it only twenty-three? Was there no twenty-fourth Heavenly Flame? Or was it that even Tou She Ancient God had failed to devour it?

Put that way, it did seem to make some sense. If there was another Heavenly Flame beyond the Emperor Flame, and it had originally been the existence ranked first on the Heavenly Flame Ranking...

Then Void Swallowing Flame already possessed the strength of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng. Perhaps this unknown Heavenly Flame had truly reached the Dou Di level.

"Did it disappear together with the ancient Dou Di, or is it now lying dormant somewhere?" Pulling at the Azure Lotus Core Flame in his hand, Zhang Tian pondered carefully.

"Perhaps Dou Di Space can give me the answer."
