Return to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan

Deep within the Nether Snake Earth Meridian

In the Altar Forbidden Ground, the hundred-foot- Stone Stele suddenly burst forth with a powerful light.

Under this light, a soul figure swiftly emerged from it, and finally, to Yao Ming's delighted surprise, entered the body of the figure sitting cross-legged on the stone pier.

Before Xiao Ming could even open his eyes, on the hundred-foot-tall Stone Stele, besides the imprint of a finger and a palm, a mouth imprint slowly emerged from the Stone Stele.

"The Yellow Springs Heaven's Wrath! Success!"

Upon seeing the shape of that mouth, Yao Ming was first taken aback, then his face lit up with ecstasy. He quickly sat cross-legged, and his Soul Power rapidly spread out.

However, just as his Soul Power spread into the mouth shape, before he could process the information it contained, an extremely powerful soul impact slammed into his soul.

"Pfft!"

This ferocious impact caused Yao Ming to spit out a mouthful of blood, and his body was also blasted away, finally falling down the towering steps in a very disheveled state.

A moment later, covered in a mess and with a pale face, he flew up and landed under Xiao Ming's strange gaze.

"What a terrifying soul-shaking impact! It seems I still don't meet the requirements to cultivate the Yellow Springs Heaven's Wrath..."

Seeing Xiao Ming's strange gaze, Yao Ming gave a wry smile, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sighed regretfully.

"This Yellow Springs Stone Stele is quite strange. The remnant soul of the Demon Saint within has already dissipated, yet it still possesses such power. The Demon Saint's abilities back then were indeed unmatched..." Xiao Ming comforted him.

"But you don't need to rush. The cultivation method for the Yellow Springs Heaven's Wrath has already been engraved on the Stone Stele. You will be able to cultivate it once you meet the requirements."

"I'm already at the Late Two-Star Dou Sheng, and even with this level of strength, I can't cultivate. Who knows when I'll reach that level? It seems I really don't have the right fate to cultivate with this Yellow Springs Heaven's Wrath."

Yao Ming sighed. The Soul Power of Magical Beast was truly difficult to increase, and he was somewhat resigned. However, he immediately turned his somewhat eager gaze to Xiao Ming, rubbed his hands together, and chuckled dryly:

"Alliance Leader, now that you have successfully defeated the remnant soul within the Stone Stele, you should have obtained the Demon Saint's essence blood by now, right?"

"Don't worry, the Stone Stele belongs to your Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe. I won't keep it to myself," Xiao Ming Mingdan said with a smile.

"What are you saying, Alliance Leader? This is something you risked your life to obtain. I would be satisfied if I could get even a small share..." Yao Ming, somewhat embarrassed.

Xiao Ming smiled, clenched his fist, and the ball of golden blood appeared in his palm. The vast energy emanating from the blood caused the energy of this world to boil slightly.

Yao Ming's gaze was fixed intently on the pool of blood, his eyes burning with desire.

Xiao Ming flicked his finger, and a small beam of light from the ball of golden blood in his palm swept towards Yao Ming, which he then gripped tightly in his hand.

If word of this gets out, even a Dou Sheng Expert would rush to snatch it.

After a golden ray of light split off, the golden blood in Xiao Ming's palm shrank by one-sixth, and the energy contained within it was exceptionally terrifying.

"Haha, with this drop of Demon Saint Essence Blood, I'm confident I can break through to the Three-Star Dou Sheng level within three years."

Yao Ming did not harbor resentment because Xiao Ming only gave him a drop of essence blood. On the contrary, he happily put away the Demon Saint Essence Blood and said cheerfully.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming smiled and said, "After this matter is settled, I will break through within the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe. However, before that, there is something I need you to do."

"Oh? Alliance Leader, please speak freely. I said I would have the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe serve you as their master, so naturally I won't refuse." Yao Ming waved his hand and said.

Xiao Ming's potential is terrifyingly high; there's nothing shameful about serving him as your master.

"Serving me as your master is one thing, but what I'm asking you to do is no small matter. I want you to lead the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe to join the Heavenly Court." Xiao Ming briefly explained the affairs of the Heavenly Court.

"I didn't expect the Heavenly Court's power to be so vast. Hmm, I'll send someone to Holy Pill City to discuss this matter."

Yao Ming was clearly surprised by what Xiao Ming said, but he still nodded in agreement.

Actually, ignoring it wasn't an option. Although Xiao Ming seemed easy to talk to, his strength was undeniable. His gentle approach was a sign of respect; otherwise, the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe might not be able to withstand it. Yao Ming was still quite clear-headed.

"Now that the matter of the Stone Stele has been resolved, let's return to our clan."

With Yao Ming didn't linger and flew away towards the outside of the earth's veins. Xiao Ming followed behind him at a leisurely pace.

Upon returning to the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe, Yao Ming hurriedly went to make preparations.

Now that he has just regained power, his immediate intention to accomplish such a significant task must be quite challenging. However, given his personality and abilities, he should be able to resolve these issues perfectly.

While Yao Ming was preparing for what to do, Xiao Ming also rested for a day to recover his depleted Spiritual Power. On the second day, he began to prepare for his breakthrough.

Inside the tranquil room, the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood. Xiao Ming sat cross-legged on the stone bed, slowly extending his palm. Golden liquid floated above his palm, radiating a mysterious aura.

The moment this drop of blood appeared, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy(heaven and earth energy) stirred violently. Xiao Ming could clearly feel that, centered on him, within a radius of a hundred feet, all energy seemed to have fled far away.

"As expected of the Demon Saint Essence Blood, it's actually this domineering..."

Sensing this scene, Xiao Ming couldn't help but smile. This was the first time he had ever seen such domineering energy, far surpassing even the essence blood of the Hall of Souls Great Heavenly Venerable.

"Let's refine it first..."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Xiao Ming opened his mouth and swallowed the Demon Saint Essence Blood. Suddenly, an exceptionally terrifying energy erupted, like waves crashing in the ocean, with streams of pure energy surging freely within his body.

In an instant, Xiao Ming's expression turned solemn. He formed cultivation hand seals, focused his mind, and immediately entered a state of cultivation to restrain the violent energy.

Formless Flame swept in, weaving into a net in the blink of an eye, tightly guarding the vital points of the body's meridians, preventing the rampant energy from becoming a burden on the body.

The Fallen Heart Flame repeatedly drew up portions of energy, refining the violent elements within and extracting the purest energy before releasing it into Xiao Ming's limbs and bones.

Xiao Ming was like a sponge, greedily absorbing this pure energy, which contained extremely miraculous effects.

The Demon Saint Essence Blood is extremely powerful. Xiao Ming used the remaining two-fifths of it this time. The energy contained within it alone is enough to burst Nine Stars Dou Zun. Only Half-Saint can barely withstand it.

However, Xiao Ming was Two Star Dou Sheng, and his body was even stronger than that of Magical Beast of the same level. He was not afraid of the Demon Saint Essence Blood. Surrounded by the light clouds, he absorbed the energy of the essence blood in an orderly manner.

Xiao Ming's Dou Qi Realm was rapidly rising at a visible speed, while at the same time, the entire room was filled with a light mist.

All of them are composed of pure energy, centered on Xiao Ming, and dispersed in a ring around him. With Xiao Ming's breathing, they flow into his body and spread throughout his limbs and bones.

The entire process lasted for more than a month. Outside the house where Xiao Ming was, there was an extremely strong sense of oppression. Below the level of Dou Sheng, no one even had the right to approach this place.

Suddenly, terrifying ripples spread outwards from the house where Xiao Ming was located, covering the entire Nether Snake Earth Meridian.

In an instant, ripples spread across the sky, and all the Heaven and Earth Energy within a radius of several thousand feet surged back and into the house. Then, all was calm, as if nothing had happened.

The Heaven and Earth Energy, which spanned a thousand feet in radius, was not filled by the remaining Heaven and Earth Energy for quite some time. Any living being with Dou Qi could sense this terrifying scene unfolding.

And beneath those ripples, all living beings felt as insignificant as ants. No matter who it was, facing those ripples as vast as the might of heaven, no one could help but feel fear, trembling, and chilled.

"Stop!"

The commotion that erupted near Xiao Ming's residence naturally attracted the attention of many powerful Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe. They were all shocked, but due to Yao Ming's orders, they could only watch from a distance of a thousand feet.

Several streaks of light flashed from afar and finally appeared outside the room.

"Such a powerful Aura! The current Alliance Leader must have reached the level of Three-Star Dou Sheng, right?" an elder exclaimed in surprise.

In the past month, the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe has joined the Heavenly Court, and they have gained some understanding of Xiao Ming's identity.

Creak!

Yao Ming was about to answer, the door opened.

The door opened, and Xiao Ming, dressed in a plain robe and exuding a restrained Aura, slowly walked out of the room. The smile on his face made his already outstanding features even more attractive!

The Demon Saint Essence Blood was indeed powerful; using only a portion of it allowed him to break through to the Mid Three-star Dou Sheng.

Congratulations to the Alliance Leader on your successful breakthrough!

When Xiao Ming approached, Yao Ming and several elders quickly bowed.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming nodded slightly, and Yao Ming began to explain some things about joining the Heavenly Court, as well as the major events that had occurred in the outside world.

In the past month, apart from the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe joining the Heavenly Court, a major event did indeed occur in Central Plains.

That was the sudden upheaval that befell the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, with reportedly many of its experts suffering heavy casualties.

Besides the Central Plains, the situation in the Four Continents including the Northwest has also changed dramatically due to the intervention of the Heavenly Court.

The forces supported by the Hall of Souls are no longer able to sweep away other clan forces, and are even in a weak position.

After hearing this information, Xiao Ming didn't pay much attention to the situation on the Four Continents, as this was within his expectations. Instead, he inquired about the situation of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

"You and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan live within the Beast Region. Do you know what misfortunes befell them?"

"This seems to be because of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan." Yao Ming pondered for a while before revealing his guess.

"On the third day after you went into seclusion, a powerful member of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan came to try and recruit us, but I refused. As one of the three great Magical Beast races, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan should have encountered them as well."

"Subsequently, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan suffered heavy casualties, and even their Clan Leader, Huang Tian, was unable to return."

At this point, Yao Ming felt somewhat fortunate that he hadn't interfered. Otherwise, the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe, which was already Origin Energy, would have been doomed if they had suffered another blow.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming began to ponder.

The strongest member of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, a top-tier Magical Beast clan, was once the North Dragon King, who was only Half-step Four Star Dou Sheng.

As for Huang Tian, his Dou Qi Realm is at the Late Five Star Dou Sheng, and in terms of combat power, he is not just ordinary, he can practically sweep away the Ancient Void Dragon.

Of course, that was before Zi Yan devoured the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. The current Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan has at least one Eight-Star Dou Sheng, so even if Huang Tian went, he wouldn't be enough to defeat him.

Why isn't the North Dragon King obediently waiting to die? Why is he dragging these people along?

Xiao Ming was completely baffled, unless... the North Dragon King wanted to activate the Dragon Transformation Demonic Array, devour all the essence and strength of these people, and then follow the example of those predecessors of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and leave into the void.

Thinking about this, Xiao Ming realized it wasn't impossible.

Of course, another possibility is that the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan blocked the news of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng, causing the Northern Dragon King to have the illusion that he was capable of living a life of his own.

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it anymore. It's been a long time since I've seen Zi Yan. Now that I'm in the Beast Region, I have to make a trip to Ancient Dragon Island."

"Perhaps we can also bring Zi Yan and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan into the Alliance. The Heavenly Court has repeatedly attacked the Hall of Souls, and the Soul Clan might resort to underhanded tactics out of desperation. With the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan as our backup, there's no need to panic so much."

Thinking this, Xiao Ming nodded to himself, then said to Yao Ming, "Now that this matter is settled, I should leave. Keep a close eye on the Alliance's affairs, and remember to open the spatial passage in time; it will be safer and easier to communicate."

[By the way, this is currently the best app for reading aloud and listening to books. Install the latest version.]

"The spatial passage is already being prepared. However, wouldn't the Alliance Leader like to stay with the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe for a few more days? I'd like to entertain you properly."

"There's no need for that."

Xiao Ming smiled, then suddenly swung his hand at the void in front of him, and a dark spatial rift immediately appeared. Then, he pulled with both hands again, and another dark rift appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing the space being torn open, Xiao Ming did not hesitate and stepped directly into the crack.

In the dark, Void Space, even light disappears. This world is filled with monotony and loneliness, and it also possesses many dangers. The Spatial Turbulence that surges from time to time is enough to tear a Dou Zun Expert to shreds.

Therefore, generally speaking, apart from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan are proficient in spatial power, few humans or other powerful beings from other races would come to this Void Space.

Of course, this place might be a dead end for others, but it has considerable benefits for the Ancient Void Dragon. The Spatial Turbulence that permeates this place can not only train their control over spatial power, but also allow them to cultivate their extremely powerful physical bodies by using the tearing force of that turbulence.

Suddenly, a light appeared in the void. Following the light, one could see an enormous island floating in mid-air.

Meanwhile, outside Eastern Dragon Island, Xiao Ming's figure appeared.

"We've finally arrived..."
