Beast Domain.
The Nine Netherworld Underworld Python Clan.
The Nine Netherworld Underworld Python Clan is one of the Three Great Magical Beast Clans.
Their true stronghold is deep underground. Of course, they also have many branches on the surface. This race has the largest population among the three major races. However, their large number naturally leads to impure bloodlines. According to the elders of the Nine Netherworld Underworld Python Clan, if this continues, the ancient bloodline of the Nine Netherworld Underworld Python Clan will be completely exhausted in a hundred years. At that time, the Nine Netherworld Python Clan will be reduced to a situation similar to that of ordinary magical beasts.
The Nine Netherworld Underworld Python Clan has a great deal of disagreement and arguing over this matter, but without the replenishment of ancient bloodlines, and given their current rate of reproduction, that day will come sooner or later.
The Nine Nether Earth Abyss.
This is a major passage into the underground world, and it is occupied by the Nine Netherworld Underworld Python Clan, so the defenses are quite strict. However, this strictness is only for ordinary strong people. With Huo Xuan's current strength, such defenses are so strong that he cannot even detect Huo Xuan's figure.
"Why come to the territory of the Nine Netherworld Underworld Python Clan?"
Medusa asked curiously.
"In the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, there is what I need, and also the opportunity for you to advance to the rank of Dou Sheng."
Huo Xuan answered casually.
Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa felt a surge of excitement, and asked with a hint of disbelief, "Are you telling the truth?"
"I have no reason to lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can return to the Snake-People Tribe immediately. I won't stop you!"
"However, how did you know that the Nine Netherworld Underworld Python Clan possessed that opportunity?"
"That's not a question you should be asking! Don't be so curious. All you need to know is that I can help you successfully advance to the Dou Sheng!"
If anyone else dared to say such things to Queen Medusa, she would probably be killed on the spot. After all, Queen Medusa was once known for her cold beauty and ruthlessness in the Jia Ma Empire. However, she is no longer the high and mighty queen she once was.
"As a subordinate, one should understand the bottom line; what shouldn't be asked, absolutely should not be asked!"
Huo Xuan doesn't need to be afraid of Medusa; on the contrary, it is Queen Medusa who needs to be afraid of Huo Xuan.
In truth, deep within Medusa's very being, the once aloof and arrogant Queen Medusa still exists, but she can only suppress it, suppress her true nature...
"Your subordinate... knows his mistake."
"From now on, I hope you will remember this well: Go, to the Nine Nether Yellow Springs!"
Underworld.
The terrain here is extremely complex, but fortunately, Huo Xuan had made thorough preparations and had a detailed map. It didn't take much effort to reach the underground world.
After passing through numerous Snake-People Tribe, and after about half a day, they finally arrived at the main camp of the Nine Netherworld Underworld Python Clan.
Nether Serpent Earth Vein!
The Nether Serpent Earth Vein.
This place is the headquarters of the Nine Netherworld Underworld Python Clan, and a sacred place in the hearts of many Snake-People Tribe. As a sacred place, the defense of this Nether Serpent Earth Vein is naturally extremely strict, and even ordinary Snake-People cannot enter it.
"I never expected to see Snake-People Tribe here, and their scale is countless times larger than ours..."
On a mountain peak outside the Nether Serpent Earth Vein, Queen Medusa gazed at the densely packed Snake-People Tribe on the plains below and murmured to herself.
"I once saw in our family genealogy that our tribe also migrated to the Tagor Desert a long time ago, but I don't know if they migrated from this Beast Domain?"
"What does it matter? Your Snake-People Tribe are now subordinate to our Flame Clan, and this will continue to be so in the future."
With a flick of his sleeve, Huo Xuan caused the surrounding space to rapidly distort, then tightly enveloped the two of them. With a ripple in the space, the two figures vanished mysteriously.
The Nine Nether Yellow Springs is located deep within the earth's veins. The Nine Netherworld Underworld Python Clan is quite powerful. Since there are many powerful individuals hidden within this earth's veins, it would be troublesome to alert them. Therefore, it is best to conceal all auras as much as possible.
Huo Xuan has now reached the Dou Sheng, and his mastery of spatial power is unparalleled. Carrying Medusa does not pose a significant burden on him. He traverses space and heads towards the depths of the Nether Serpent Earth Vein without attracting any particular attention along the way.
Deep within the Nether Serpent Earth Vein.
A massive, dark abyss, hundreds of feet wide and bottomless, emanates an astonishing chill, like a gale, constantly howling upwards from its depths. Even ordinary experts would feel their blood and Dou Qi freeze simply by standing here.
At the bottom of this deep ravine lies the sacred pool of the Nine Netherworld Underworld Python Clan.
That is precisely Huo Xuan's destination— the Nine Nether Yellow Springs!
Beside the dark abyss, there were no defenses, because everyone knew that the chilling winds that constantly howled from the abyss were a natural protection. Even Dou Zong level expert would not dare to venture deep into the abyss in the face of those chilling winds.
"Laugh!"
As the chilling wind raged on, suddenly, the space here distorted slightly, and two figures slowly emerged.
Breaking through the extremely cold and icy winds, Huo Xuan, carrying Queen Medusa, swiftly plunged into the bottom of the pitch-black Deep Abyss.
The ravine was extremely deep. It took Huo Xuan nearly ten minutes to finally see the ground. As he approached the ground, he also came into view an extremely large lake not far away. The chilling aura that was enough to freeze the Dou Qi in a person's body emanated from it.
The lake was enormous, and its water was a deep yellow. Yet, within this deep yellow, there seemed to be traces of blood-like color flowing through it. Wisps of light yellow mixed with a faint trace of blood seeped out from it, eventually rising and roaring into the sky.
"The Nine Nether Yellow Springs!"
Because this place is so cold and damp, even the people of the Nine Netherworld Underworld Python cannot endure it for long. Therefore, except in special circumstances, no one usually comes here.
Gazing at the yellow lake, Huo Xuan slowly approached. As he drew closer to the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, a hidden, chilling power continuously seeped into his body.
Huo Xuan stretched out his palm and tried to touch the lake water. The moment he touched the water, a hissing sound was heard, and a kind of deep yellow ice crystal rapidly climbed up Huo Xuan's arm along his palm.
"The Nine Nether Yellow Springs are indeed powerful!"
Huo Xuan quickly activated the Strange Fire within his body, and the flames spread across his entire arm, rapidly melting the ice layers.
"You should be fine going deep into the Nine Nether Yellow Springs together, right?"
Huo Xuan moved his slightly frozen arm a little, turned his head, and said to Medusa.
"Without..."
Queen Medusa was originally Snake-People. As a serpentine magical beast, she shared the same yin and cold attributes as the Nine Netherworld Underworld Python.
Because of her constitution, she was naturally able to enter the Nine Nether Yellow Springs.
"Thump!"
Summoning Strange Fire, Huo Xuan moved and entered the Nine Nether Yellow Springs. Then, with lightning speed, he rushed towards the bottom of the Yellow Springs.
"Hiss!"
As Huo Xuan leaped into the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, a column of white smoke rose from the lake's surface, and bubbling water appeared continuously, clearly caused by the Strange Fire.
Following closely behind, Queen Medusa also rushed into the Nine Nether Yellow Springs without hesitation.
"Gurgle!"
After Queen Medusa entered the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, the lake water immediately seemed to boil, bubbling up countless bubbles, as if the entire energy of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs had been disturbed at that moment...
A moment later, the Nine Nether Yellow Springs fell silent once more, occasionally broken by the sound of something cutting through the air. Fortunately, no one ventured inside to investigate...
