Unexpected Developments and Subjugation
Upon hearing this, the Green Robed Old Man sighed.
Their low-blooded snake race has grown to its current state entirely thanks to the Blood Pool before them.
Placing Snake Magical Beast into the Blood Pool will activate it, releasing energy that can improve the serpents' bloodline and even cause bloodline mutations.
Although the success rate was low, the effect was still quite good when accumulated with a large number of low-level snakes. They relied on this to maintain their population and add new members.
Back then, they all soaked in Blood Pool to achieve what they have today.
Now that the Snake Venerable wants to break the rules, he naturally doesn't want to.
However, although he was the Great Elder, he was only Two-star Dou Zun, while the Snake Venerable was Five Star Dou Zun, so he could not object to the Snake Venerable's decision.
"Let the ceremony begin."
The burly man said in a deep voice, then closed his eyes again.
"Begin." The Green Robed Old Man could only wave his hand behind him.
Not far from him, the ugly-faced Third Elder nodded slightly, took two steps forward, and with a flick of his hand, a small red flag appeared.
The Third Elder muttered incantations, and the dormant Blood Pool began to boil, with fist-sized blood bubbles appearing on the surface.
"Go!"
Finally, the Third Elders waved their banners, pointing them towards the Blood Pool.
Pfft!
Instantly, countless tiny snakes fearlessly darted into the Blood Pool, raining down on the cave ceiling, cliffs, and ground, like a snake shower.
As the small snakes entered, the Blood Pool suddenly shone brightly, then began to boil completely.
As soon as the snakes entered, they writhed and rolled around, most of them turning into blood and becoming part of the Blood Pool. Only a very small number survived.
Countless small snakes lined up to jump down from the shore, and the Third Elder watched this scene without even blinking.
Breaking through the limits of bloodline is naturally not easy; it's all or nothing. He's seen this situation countless times and is used to it.
A moment later, all the snake -Snake Magical Beasts except for Snake Magical Beast of the Fourth Tier or higher entered the Blood Pool, but the Blood Pool did not rise at all as a result.
The Snake Venerable, sitting cross-legged above the Blood Pool, made hand seals, causing subtle fluctuations to ripple through the Blood Pool.
Wisps of Blood-Colored Mist gradually rose from the surface of the pool, and as these mists rose, the remaining small snakes in the Blood Pool also transformed into a part of the Blood Pool.
The Snake Venerable's Aura was gradually rising, and at this moment, Xiao Ming and the others also arrived at the small valley and discovered the anomaly.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Ming and his group discovered that although the Ancient Heavenly Serpent skeleton was shrouded in Blood Mist, there was no unusual movement.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ming waved to Qing Lin and the others, then flew directly to the location of the skeletons.
The valley wasn't very big, and soon the group arrived in front of the skeleton. Just then, something unexpected happened.
Drops of crystalline liquid gradually seeped from the skeleton, and as the liquid dissipated, the originally jade-like bones gradually lost their original color.
As the last drop of liquid was extracted, the skeleton completely lost its luster, then collapsed, turning into a pile of broken bones.
At the same time, the Blood Mist suddenly increased, gathering above a Blood Pool, condensing and not dissipating. A fierce Aura emanated from it, followed by a terrifying roar that resounded from within the mist.
As the mist gathered and shifted, a giant serpent with Nine Ferocious Snake Heads appeared before Xiao Ming and the others, emanating a fierce Aura.
Inside the cave, the Snake Venerable, whose Aura was rising in the eyes of the Great Elder and the others, suddenly trembled uncontrollably. Then, a ten-foot-wide column of blood suddenly gushed out from the Blood Pool and enveloped it.
"Not good!"
Everyone present changed their expressions upon seeing this scene.
It should be noted that although this Blood Pool contains special energy that is useful to snakes, it is extremely ferocious. Only small snakes that have not yet developed intelligence are not greatly affected and are thus thrown into it. Snakes like them that have already developed intelligence are easily distracted and lose their rationality upon contact with the Blood Pool. This is also an important reason why the Venerable Snake floats on the surface of the pool and does not enter Blood Pool.
Even so, the Snake Venerable was still greatly affected, as evidenced by the bloodshot eyes that appeared earlier.
Now, the Blood Pool has completely enveloped the Snake Venerable!
Everyone secretly thought, "This is bad." The green-robed Great Elder gritted his teeth, stomped his foot slightly, and then shot out like an arrow.
Rushing towards the Snake Venerable, before it could reach the pillar of blood, a green Dou Qi palm print struck first, directly grabbing at the pillar of blood.
Under the influence of the Dou Qi palm print, the blood pillar collapsed with a crash, and at this moment, the Snake Venerable had already disappeared without a trace!
Damn it!
Seeing this, the Green Robed Old Man, Tong Kong, shrank back and slowly lowered his head.
The Snake Venerable has entered the Blood Pool!
Within the Blood Pool lay a pure, crimson world, seemingly unaffected by the countless small snakes that had been thrown in earlier.
The Snake Venerable suddenly appeared, his face showing signs of struggle.
However, a moment later, his eyes were replaced by a crimson red.
The Snake Venerable, having lost his mind, slowly raised his head and looked up at the Blood Pool above, where the Great Elder stood with his head bowed.
"This is the soul of Ancient Heavenly Serpent! It's at least at the level of Six Star Dou Zun!" Sensing the intense Soul Fluctuations, Venerable Tian Huo's eyes twitched.
"Six-Star Dou Zun?"
Even Xiao Ming couldn't help but swallow hard. This Ancient Heavenly Serpent still retained such power; it was definitely not completely dead. This was a bit troublesome.
"Prepare for battle. No matter what, subdue this thing first. A Soul Body can't last long."
Xiao Ming's eyes sharpened, and two Golden Puppets were released. He planned to weaken the power of the snake soul first.
"Wait, young master, if only the Soul Body remains, I think I can control it? And it doesn't seem to resist." Qing Lin's slightly hesitant voice came.
"This..."
Xiao Ming hesitated. Of course he knew that Qing Lin could control the Heavenly Serpent's soul, otherwise he wouldn't have come to find the Heavenly Serpent's burial place. However, the Heavenly Serpent was too powerful. Would it be a bit too much for Qing Lin, a mere Dou Emperor, to handle?
"Let me give it a try. Anyway, you, Xian'er are watching, Old Mister Yao is here too."
"Alright then." After glancing at the Nine-Headed Giant Python that wasn't making any big moves, Xiao Ming decided to let Qing Lin give it a try. It would be a waste to eliminate too much of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent's Soul Power.
Qing Lin agreed, stepped forward, formed a hand seal, and the Emerald Green Color flower in his eyes suddenly appeared.
Immediately, two beams of azure light shot out from Qing Lin's eyes, illuminating the ferocious Nine-Headed Giant Python. Strangely enough, this Ancient Heavenly Serpent, exuding a terrifying aura, actually did not resist.
With a mix of reluctance and acceptance, the same eerie flowers as those of the Green Snake Three Flower Eyes appeared on the nine snake heads and in the eighteen pairs of eyes.
The whole process went exceptionally smoothly, without any setbacks.
