Myriad Snake Great Formation, Nine Serene Nether Staff
"Yao Xiaotian, you bastard, today I will tear you to pieces and throw you into the Myriad Snake Cave!"
Gazing at the Yao Xiaotian in the sky, Yao Ming's eyes instantly turned blood red, and boundless resentment burst forth from them. His low growl echoed endlessly throughout the deep ravine.
"Hehe, my good brother, I didn't expect you to still be alive. But now you can't even withstand one of my attacks. Don't worry, this time, I won't give you any chance to struggle!"
Hearing Yao Ming's venomous growl, Yao Xiaotian in the sky also let out a sinister laugh.
Hearing the conversation between the two brothers, Xiao Ming stepped into the air, stood with his hands behind his back, level with Yao Xiaotian, and looked the current Clan Leader up and down. He was dressed in a black robe and had a handsome face, but the sinister look in his eyes could not be hidden at all.
"You're Yao Xiaotian?"
"Of course I am your friend. No matter how you infiltrated my Nether Snake Earth Meridian, this Underground World is the territory of my Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe. Today, as long as you hand over this sinner of the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe to me, I can forgive your wrongdoing and treat you as an honored guest."
Facing Xiao Ming, Yao Xiaotian composed himself and spoke in a friendly manner.
Xiao Ming knew that the other party probably wanted to kill him immediately, but since the other party was weaker than him, he had no choice but to submit.
Therefore, Xiao Ming said in a very indifferent tone, "You're a lot like a guy I know."
Yao Xiaotian felt impatient upon hearing this. He didn't care whether it was similar or not, but the sense of danger emanating from Xiao Ming forced him to speak up.
Who is it?
"A traitor who betrayed his master and ancestors is not worth mentioning. Your methods of killing your brother and Snake Magical Beast are not much worse than his. However, One Star Mid-stage Dou Sheng, although you are not as good as your brother, among snake-type magical beasts, you are quite capable and have considerable strength, far superior to him in this aspect."
"How dare you!"
Yao Xiaotian was furious, his eyes filled with savagery and cruelty. Not only did Xiao Ming mention Yao Ming, but he also used such a tone to criticize him at will, which really infuriated him.
The Yin Cold Qi raged, and the Dou Sheng was already powerful enough to control a region. This was the fundamental reason why those below the Dou Sheng could not contend with him. Once trapped in the Dou Sheng's Saint Domain, even Half-Saint was nothing more than an ant.
Furthermore, this place is deep within the Nether Snake Earth Meridian, where an extremely dense and Yin Cold Qi permeates the air, enough to give Yao Xiaotian an extra three points of combat power for no reason.
The Dou Sheng Expert is already close to reaching the pinnacle of this world. If the strength of a Dou Sheng Expert is further enhanced, it would be enough to influence a battle that is evenly matched.
But were Xiao Ming and Yao Xiaotian evenly matched? This was a complete rout; there was no question of them being evenly matched!
"Be careful, this guy is now at the One Star Dou Sheng Mid-stage, and he has also mastered many of the Ultimate Technique of my Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe. He's not easy to deal with!" Yao Ming warned. He wasn't afraid of losing, but he still couldn't help but give a reminder.
"No problem, I could have dealt with this kind of thing when I was Dou Zun Eight Stars," Xiao Ming said casually.
Upon hearing this, Yao Xiaotian's gaze grew even colder, staring at Xiao Ming like a venomous snake. He didn't think much of it, only feeling that the other party was insulting him. Dou Zun Eight Stars? If you're so capable, why don't you just go to heaven!
His body shuddered violently, and an overwhelming, chilling Aura suddenly erupted from within him, causing the surrounding world to tremble violently.
The overwhelming energy converged like lightning above his head into a gigantic hand a thousand feet long, containing an extremely cold and sinister power.
"Die!"
With a single word uttered, the enormous palm crashed down, its terrifying force instantly causing the space around Xiao Ming to collapse.
"That's courageous."
Xiao Ming raised his head and looked at the energy palm print that was rapidly enlarging in his pupils. He smiled, waved his sleeve, and an overwhelming sea of scorching flames surged out, instantly turning into a sea of fire that wrapped around the giant hand. The terrifying temperature caused the latter to rapidly burst out with thick white mist.
"Heavenly Flames?"
Upon seeing the sea of fire capable of evaporating the energy palm print, Yao Xiaotian's eyes flashed with deep apprehension. He then let out a cold snort and his hands flashed out extremely complex hand seals. As his hand seals were formed, the energy of this world immediately gathered again.
"Yellow Springs Finger!"
The Yin Cold Qi between heaven and earth gathered, and streams of tangible, yin-cold energy condensed in front of Yao Xiaotian, entangled with the Dou Qi that Yao Xiaotian was unleashing.
It quickly transformed into a deep yellow finger hundreds of feet in size. The surface of the finger was extremely rough, but it was permeated with a faint destructive power. From a distance, it looked like a pillar supporting the sky, towering between heaven and earth.
"One finger to the Yellow Springs, severing life and death!"
Yao Xiaotian retreated rapidly, and at the same time, he pointed his finger sharply. Immediately, the enormous Yellow Springs Finger in the sky crashed down, causing entire sections of space to collapse.
The surrounding deep ravines were cracked open by this Destructive Fluctuation, with huge fissures appearing, causing the earth to tremble and the mountains to shake, as if it were the end of the world.
Dou Sheng Expert using Heaven Rank Dou Technique could almost easily destroy a large city.
But that's nothing compared to Xiao Ming.
Seeing the power of the Yellow Springs Finger, Xiao Ming's body was covered with layers of purple scales, surrounded by flames. Without pausing for a moment, he charged forward.
"Bang!"
The force of the collision with the deep yellow finger, enough to destroy a city, did not stop Xiao Ming for a moment. The finger shattered and dissipated into Yin Cold Qi.
A terrifying energy surge, and a rampant, Yin Cold Qi, swept through the deep ravine like a storm, unleashing gusts of yin energy that engulfed the entire area.
"Damn it, my Yellow Springs Finger!"
Upon seeing the Yellow Springs Finger broken and Xiao Ming rushing towards him, a hint of panic flashed in Yao Xiaotian's eyes. His figure swayed, and an overwhelming chill surged from his body.
At the same time, its body suddenly swelled up, transforming in an instant into a gigantic black serpent thousands of feet long. A fierce and malevolent aura emanated from it, making it appear like an evil and ferocious god between heaven and earth.
"The sealing technique, the Yellow Springs Great Seal!"
Transforming into its true form, Yao Xiaotian roared to the sky, and as he roared, a terrifyingly cold power suddenly surged from the Nine Serene Yellow Springs below.
Under Yao Xiaotian's control, and combined with his overwhelming Dou Qi, these chilling energies instantly formed a massive black seal resembling a giant mountain, covered with countless strange runes.
"Seal it!"
Yao Xiaotian roared, but there was a hint of fear in his voice...
Perhaps even he himself didn't believe that the Yellow Springs Great Seal could truly seal Xiao Ming.
With a flick of its tail, the Yellow Springs Great Seal, carrying overwhelming momentum, pierced through the void and shot towards Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming, who was flying towards Yao Xiaotian, was hit squarely and instantly pressed down by the seal.
However, before Yao Xiaotian could rejoice, another energy surge rose from beneath the seal, followed by a bang, and the mountain-like seal was smashed and sent flying backward.
Surrounded by Heavenly Flames, Xiao Ming's Aura was extremely powerful, and he was already less than ten feet away from the black giant serpent...
Yao Xiaotian panicked. How could even the Yellow Springs Great Seal not be able to seal the opponent?
However, this is the Nether Snake Earth Meridian, the heartland of the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe. He didn't believe Xiao Ming would really dare to kill him, unless he Undying to fight the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe to the death.
"Whoever you are! I admit I was somewhat offensive just now, and your strength is certainly respectable..."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
After Xiao Ming advanced to the Dou Sheng level, his battles were either ambushes or instant kills. He originally wanted to practice his skills, but he didn't expect this guy to be so weak. Since that's the case, there's no need to hold back.
When he reverted to his original form, Yao Xiaotian possessed an even more resilient physique and greater strength.
But Xiao Ming's flurry of punches, imbued with immense force and the power of the Heavenly Flames, caused the latter to continuously emit shrill screams.
The snake's head, belly, back... its thousand-foot-long body writhed wildly, bloody holes appearing all over its body, its scales shattered, and blood gushing out.
"You bastard, how dare you cause trouble in my Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe! Nether Snake Guards, capture this man for me!"
Just as Xiao Ming was about to seal and knock this guy unconscious, a furious roar suddenly came from the sky.
Immediately, countless sounds of wind breaking echoed throughout the entire mountain range, and powerful Auras erupted. Clearly, the battle between Xiao Ming and Yao Tianxiao had alarmed the entire Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe.
Without turning his head, Xiao Ming had already detected the arrival of many elders of the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe and the Nether Snake Guards with his soul perception.
The consequences of sacrificing the pure Ancient Bloodline and lacking strong individuals were vividly demonstrated in the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe. There were countless Dou Zun Experts and quite a few Half-Saints, but Dou Sheng Experts were extremely rare, with only three including the sealed Yao Ming.
Compared to the other two of the Three Great Magical Beast Tribes, the gap becomes apparent.
The speaker was an old man with a red snake coiled on his shoulder. His face was fierce, but his eyes were wide open, filled with shock and hesitation.
Nothing more!
Xiao Ming's Aura was too strong, and the sense of oppression he exerted was too heavy. Not to mention, Yao Xiaotian, who was only slightly weaker than him, was already half-dead and slumped on the ground.
He hadn't seen it clearly before, but as the words left his mouth, the Great Elder became resolute. If they couldn't avenge this grudge today, the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe would become a laughing stock in the Beast Region, something the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe absolutely could not accept.
"Elders, lead the Nether Snake Guards in Myriad Snake Great Battle, sparing no expense to kill this man and rescue our Clan Leader. Otherwise, the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe will have no place to stand in the Beast Region Realm."
The Great Elder, with a red serpent coiled on his shoulder, waved his hand, glared at Xiao Ming, and said fiercely.
As he spoke, his vertical pupils revealed a look of violence and ruthlessness.
"Yes!"
The elders responded in unison. Even though they knew Xiao Ming was powerful, they quickly moved closer and surrounded Xiao Ming in the center. Their powerful Dou Qi erupted, stirring up the dark clouds in the sky.
At the same time, a large number of Nether Snake Guard, clad in armor and wielding Long Ge, with resolute expressions, surged in from all directions and stepped forward in unison.
With their Auras intertwined, the soaring Blood Fiend Qi condensed into a thick cloud, causing even space itself to tremble and give way.
Knowing Xiao Ming's strength, they still dared to set up an array to surround and kill him, which only shows that many members of the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe still have backbone.
"Stop!"
Seeing this, Yao Ming couldn't sit still any longer. He didn't know what would happen to Xiao Ming if a fight broke out, but he was certain that the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe would suffer heavy losses.
The Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe was, after all, his future core group; how could he possibly accept such a loss?
In his anxiety, he burst out from a corner and finally appeared in mid-air.
At this moment, Yao Ming's Dou Qi had recovered considerably. His body was no longer withered; instead, he had grown much taller. Although his face was somewhat dark, his eyes still radiated a sinister aura.
Looking at Yao Ming's face, which bore a striking resemblance to Yao Tianxiao's, all the members of the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe present were stunned.
After a long while, some elders cried out in disbelief:
"Clan Leader Yao Ming? How is that possible? Didn't you perish from a cultivation deviation?"
"Clan Leader Yao Ming?"
"It seems to be the elder brother of Clan Leader Tianxiao, the previous clan Clan Leader. However, Clan Leader Tianxiao said that he died from a qi deviation during cultivation and disappeared for hundreds of years. How could he reappear now?"
"If it's the Yao Ming Clan Leader, why would he stand with the invaders? What exactly happened?"
"..."
Hearing the numerous whispers that echoed through the sky, the Great Elder was already panicked. Compared to the current ruthless Yao Xiaotian, Yao Ming back then was more suitable to become the Clan Leader. If this matter were to be exposed, the day Yao Ming became the Clan Leader would be the day he died!
Therefore, the Great Elder, though outwardly fierce, inwardly weak, said:
"Don't be fooled! Yao Ming Clan Leader hundreds of years ago. This person must be his accomplice, deliberately impersonating Clan Leader Yao Ming to cause turmoil within our clan. Elders, activate the great formation and kill him!"
As soon as the Great Elder finished speaking, his figure vanished abruptly. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Yao Ming. His pair of withered hands had turned pitch black, and a strong, foul stench emanated from them.
Withered Leaf Great Poison Palm!
"You think you can silence someone in front of me?"
Divine Consciousness Gaze!
The Great Elder's palm strike had barely begun when a burst of white light erupted, colliding fiercely with it.
The Great Elder's body trembled violently, and he felt a brief separation between his soul and body. The next moment, a figure appeared in front of him and kicked out.
The Great Elder was instantly sent flying backward by a hurricane of energy, shattering a giant peak into pieces.
"Cough cough! How could you be so strong!"
The Great Elder knelt on the ground, spitting out blood, his heart pounding violently, and a slightly dented footprint was clearly visible on his chest.
Seeing his miserable state, the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe's Myriad Snake Great Formation paused, and all the powerful members of the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe couldn't help but twitch their lips.
If even the Great Elder, whose cultivation level is Dou Sheng, is so weak, is their Myriad Snake Great Formation truly effective?
Yao Ming's eyes twitched slightly; he had witnessed Xiao Ming defeat two Dou Sheng in succession.
Although it took some effort to deal with Yao Xiaotian, judging from the Great Elder's opinion, Xiao Ming probably wasn't even that serious.
Even if he recovers his strength, he probably won't be able to reach that level.
A sense of awe for Xiao Ming arose in Yao Ming's heart, Yao Ming he seized the opportunity to step forward.
Looking at the elders, he suddenly opened his mouth, and a black light flashed out, eventually transforming into a black scepter about half a zhang in size, which appeared in his hand.
The scepter is entirely black, with two lifelike black serpents coiled around its top.
Between the two snakes, there was a fist-sized black bead that emitted a faint, cold light.
"Elders, does anyone recognize this item?"
Yao Ming's words drew the attention of the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe who were debating whether to fight to the death.
"The Nine Serene Nether Staff? It's actually the Nine Serene Nether Staff that's been lost for a hundred years!"
"This is the Clan Leader's token!"
Upon gazing at the black scepter, all the elders in the sky changed their expressions, and then a fanatical fervor surged in their eyes.
They sensed a powerful, blood-related pressure emanating from that scepter.
Legend has it that within the serpent pearl of the Nine Serene Staff lies the purest Nine Serene Royal Bloodline.
If the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe Clan could possess these bloodlines now, it would undoubtedly greatly slow down the rate at which their bloodlines become diluted.
