Yao Ming

Deep within the Nether Snake Earth Meridian lies a massive, Dark Abyss, hundreds of feet wide and bottomless. An astonishingly Yin Cold Qi, like a gale, constantly howls 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 Serene Deepground Python Tribe — the Nine Serene Yellow Springs, which is also Xiao Ming's destination.

Beneath the Yellow Springs lies Yao Ming, the Clan Leader of the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe, whose strength has reached the Two Star Dou Sheng. If he can be brought out, the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe will naturally be at Xiao Ming's disposal.

At that time, the Yellow Springs Stone Stele, which carries the inheritance of the Yellow Springs Demon Saint, will also be open to Xiao Ming.

Beside the deep ravine, there were no defenses, because everyone understood that the Yin Cold Astral Wind constantly howling from the ravine were the most natural protection. Faced with these winds, even a Dou Zong level expert would not dare to venture too far.

"Laugh!"

As the Yin Cold Astral Wind incessantly, the space here suddenly distorted slightly, and a figure slowly emerged—none other than Xiao Ming.

Having revealed himself, Xiao Ming glanced at the dark abyss, smiled slightly, and did not linger.

The ravine was extremely deep; even at Xiao Ming's speed, it took him nearly five minutes to reach the surface.

As it approached the ground, it also came into view of an extremely large lake not far away, from which a chilling Aura capable of freezing one's internal Dou Qi emanated.

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.

"This must be the legendary Nine Serene Yellow Springs."

Gazing at the Yellow Lake, Xiao Ming smiled and slowly approached. As he drew nearer, waves of chilling Aura continuously assaulted his body.

Upon arriving at the lakeside, Xiao Ming hesitated for a moment before bending down and dipping his hand into the lake, releasing a chilling, icy aura.

At the same time, a layer of Deep Yellow Ice Crystal, visible to the naked eye, instantly climbed up from the palm and spread towards the arm.

Xiao Ming withdrew his hand, shook it, and the ice crystals shattered immediately.

"This chilling cold is probably comparable to the unexploded Nai Qiong Divine Ice. Even the Nine Serene Deepground Python probably couldn't stay here for long. The Nine Serene Yellow Springs is indeed wondrous."

Even as Dou Sheng Expert, who was immune to heat and cold, he still felt a long-lost Aura in the Nine Serene Yellow Springs.

It's worth noting that Xiao Ming didn't feel this way when he subdued Nai Qiong Divine Ice before. Although, this was because Nai Qiong Divine Ice was relatively reserved, and Xiao Ming used Heavenly Flames at the time.

But this also shows just how immense the Yin energy of the Nine Serene Yellow Springs is.

No wonder Medusa was able to break through to the Dou Sheng directly using this opportunity.

Pulling back his scattered thoughts, Xiao Ming's mind stirred, and dense, Heavenly Flames rapidly seeped out from countless pores on his body. The terrifying high temperature, upon contact with the cold air, immediately erupted into an overwhelming White Mist.

"Thump!"

Summoning Heavenly Flames, Xiao Ming moved swiftly, crashing directly into the Nine Serene Yellow Springs, then hurtling towards the bottom of the Yellow Springs with lightning speed.

Sizzle!

Beneath the surface, the flames surrounding Xiao Ming clashed violently with the Yin Cold Qi lake water.

Xiao Ming could feel the intensity of the collision, and his Dou Qi was being consumed. Even though Xiao Ming's Dou Qi was stronger than that of Dou Sheng of the same realm, he didn't want to test how long he could resist in the Nine Serene Yellow Springs.

With a swift movement, its speed suddenly increased, and it transformed into a blur, leaving a trail of water in the Nine Yin Yellow Springs before drifting away to the bottom of the dark lake.

The Heavenly Flames surged wildly, and Xiao Ming went deeper and deeper into the Nine Serene Yellow Springs. However, as he went deeper, the cold power also increased exponentially. Eventually, even Xiao Ming had to go all out and circulate his Dou Qi to disperse the Yin Cold Qi that had invaded his body.

The Heavenly Flames left a trail in the water, and after Xiao Ming left, the cold lake water submerged the trail. However, the commotion still alerted the native inhabitants of the lake.

Hiss!

A strange cry rang out and reached Xiao Ming's ears. Xiao Ming's expression remained unchanged as his Soul Power spread out, and shadowy figures appeared in his perception.

The shadowy figure appeared to be Strange Serpent, jet black in color with scarlet eyes and its tongue flicking out. It slithered toward Xiao Ming at an extremely fast speed.

Xiao Ming reacted extremely quickly. The moment the dark shadow appeared in front of him, he immediately threw a punch. The powerful force of the punch, though weakened by the water, still shattered the Strange Serpent into pieces.

As if a switch had been flipped, Strange Serpent emerged from the lake, their scarlet eyes glaring, hissing and roaring as they charged toward Xiao Ming.

"Hiss!"

Even when these Strange Serpent were still a long distance from Xiao Ming, they opened their ferocious mouths, and instantly, countless jets of dark black water shot out from Strange Serpent mouths. As soon as these water jets hit the lake water, the lake water automatically split apart, which caused the water jets to speed up even more. The whooshing sound of the water breaking through the air shook the surrounding lake water, causing it to emit a low explosion.

"Tsk, they're courting death!"

With a cold glint in his eyes, Xiao Ming clenched his fist, and a ball of flame appeared in his palm. He then tossed it aside, and the flame instantly expanded, transforming into a Flame Cloud that spread outwards.

"Chirp chirp!"

The flames spread into a sea of fire, which even the chilling energy of the place could not extinguish. The Strange Serpent, unable to stop in time, crashed into the sea of fire one after another. The terrifying heat instantly burned the Strange Serpent that came into contact with the flames to ashes.

"Chirp chirp!"

Faced with such terrifying flames, the Strange Serpent also felt fear. After a large number of them died one after another, they finally stopped and dared not go forward again. They could only spew Black Water Arrows from a distance, extinguishing the sea of fire little by little.

By this time, Xiao Ming had already disappeared without a trace.

Having gotten rid of those troublesome things, Xiao Ming glanced down and discovered that at the end of the road, a glimmer of light had appeared. His spirits lifted, and he quickly sped up, finally arriving at the place where the light had appeared after a while.

What appeared before Xiao Ming was an extremely vast expanse of sand and gravel, with countless fist-sized pebbles scattered across it.

These pebbles emitted a faint glow, which is why the place appeared so bright.

"This is the bottom of the Nine Serene Yellow Springs. If I'm not mistaken, the former Clan Leader of the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe, Yao Ming, was sealed here by his brother."

Xiao Ming scanned the surroundings, checking for any unusual signs. In such a small place, if someone were hiding, it would be easy to spot.

"Help me..., help... me..."

Just as Xiao Ming was searching, suddenly, an extremely faint groan reached his ears through the obstruction of the water.
