Luring the Enemy In
The Nine-Headed Serpent slowly approached, but when it was 500 feet away from Yi Yun, it stopped and silently observed Yi Yun and the primordial energy spewing out from the entrance of the Empress Secret Realm.
With its intelligence, Jiuying had already determined that there was something fishy about the sudden appearance of the entrance to the Empress Secret Realm. However... it could not resist the temptation of the pure primordial energy, since its growth required the support of a large number of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Otherwise, it would be reduced to ashes when the heavenly tribulation arrives.
But now, its tribulation is approaching.
In the dark depths of the sea, it stared intently at Yi Yun. Its nine heads had a total of nineteen eyes, each emitting a light that was either eerie green or blood red, and all of them were extremely indifferent.
In its perception, the human did not possess great strength, but this human had a special physique, and the scent emanating from this physique was very attractive to it.
Gradually, Jiuying was only a hundred feet away from Yi Yun. At this distance, even without using his Energy Vision, Yi Yun could clearly see Jiuying's form with the help of the light emitted from the entrance to the Empress Secret Realm.
This is a young Nine-Headed Serpent. On its body, there is a blood-red stripe running through it. This stripe is faintly glowing. Yi Yun knows that this is the life pattern of the Nine-Headed Serpent's evolution.
When this stripe fully develops, it will trigger a celestial calamity.
After being tempered by the Heavenly Tribulation, this pattern will transform into a Dao patterns that embodies the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. The Nine-Headed Serpent, possessing this Dao patterns, will experience a leap in strength.
In its lifetime, Jiuying can grow a maximum of nine Dao patterns of heaven and earth.
The Nine-Headed Serpent before us has never experienced a single heavenly tribulation.
Without experiencing the Heavenly Tribulation, the Nine-Headed Serpent cannot control the Heaven and Earth Laws, thus posing a much smaller threat. However, even so, the Nine-Headed Serpent's powerful physique alone is extremely terrifying.
The three underwater overlords had retreated because of the appearance of this Nine-Headed Serpent.
Yi Yun was quickly analyzing everything in his mind when, at that moment, the Nine-Headed Serpent suddenly pounced on Yi Yun.
A scream like that of an infant pierced through Yi Yun's eardrums, and the high-pressure seawater around him vibrated violently because of the scream, as if it were boiling.
An immense pressure descended from all directions, and the seawater solidified into sharp swords, piercing straight towards Yi Yun.
Yi Yun's gaze sharpened; he was in the seawater, with absolutely no room to dodge.
The surging energy formed a protective shield around Yi Yun.
Bang bang bang!
The muffled sound was like a thunderclap!
The seawater churned and spun wildly around Yi Yun, like a giant whirlpool.
Yi Yun stood with difficulty in the center of the whirlpool, his body shimmering with golden light like the sun. In the dark and deep seabed, his presence was exceptionally conspicuous.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a Black Shadow darted swiftly through the turbulent sea.
A cold, single eye emerged from the seawater, staring intently at Yi Yun.
One of the Nine-Headed Serpent's heads suddenly coiled towards Yi Yun, its mouth wide open, its black forked tongue lunging straight at Yi Yun.
The overwhelming stench, even with the resistance of his vital energy, still rushed straight into Yi Yun's nostrils. This was a highly poisonous stench, causing excruciating headaches and blocked meridians, thus rendering him incapable of resistance.
Yi Yun suddenly gathered his vital energy, and the Pure Yang Vital Energy in his body burned fiercely. Pure Yang is the most effective against Yin evil and poisonous energy. In just an instant, all the poisonous mist was burned into green smoke by the Pure Yang Vital Energy!
Just as Yi Yun dispelled the poisonous mist within his body, Jiu Ying's forked tongue flashed into the vortex like lightning, piercing through Yi Yun's Protective Vital Energy!
Yi Yun's pupils contracted. So fast!
The snake's forked tongue pierced the swirling water droplets, each drop resembling a deadly hidden weapon!
When!
In the blink of an eye, Yi Yun's broken sword blocked the snake's forked tongue. Pure Yang Vital Energy surged from his body, evaporating the water droplets.
The snake's tongue was indestructible, but it was blocked by a small broken sword, which emitted a clear and melodious sword cry.
Yi Yun's vital energy was instantly drained out like a tidal wave, and his hand holding the sword went numb.
A huge ripple spread out around him instantly, reaching an unknown distance in a flash.
Fish swimming in the distant ocean, upon touching the ripples, instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist.
That snake's forked tongue, with its terrifying power in a single strike!
"Retreat!"
Yi Yun immediately retreated.
He had just left his spot when a Black Shadow shot out from where he had been standing, head held high, eyes indifferent, the single horn on its head radiating an evil and sharp aura.
"That was close!" Yi Yun's eyes narrowed. The Nine-Headed Serpent's attacks came wave after wave, like lightning. If he had been hit just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
In just a short time, Yi Yun had twice walked on the brink of life and death.
If this continues, his situation will become dire!
Yi Yun's senses locked onto the Nine-Headed Serpent, this terrifying monster. After attacking twice, it seemed somewhat surprised to find that this tiny human was still alive.
However, its attack did not slow down at all. It swung its thick tail, stirring up the seawater. The seawater flowed faster and faster, forming a marine storm on the high-pressure seabed. The storm surrounded Yi Yun, and a terrible tearing force struck Yi Yun.
Yi Yun was caught in the middle, and his Protective Vital Energy was about to be torn apart. Once the Protective Vital Energy was torn open, his physical body would be unable to withstand such power.
The Nine-Headed Serpent's body appeared and disappeared in the vortex, its enormous eyes occasionally darting out to stare at Yi Yun.
Whoosh!
One of the Nine-Headed Serpent's heads suddenly burst out of the vortex!
A golden light flashed, and the instant the Nine-Headed Serpent's head appeared, Yi Yun, holding the Sun-Shooting Nine Sorrows Bow, drew the bow and fired an arrow, the Pure Yang Vital Energy striking the Nine-Headed Serpent's long neck.
The nine-headed baby screamed in pain, its screams shattering eardrums, causing the seawater to instantly churn and explode.
Blood immediately flowed from Yi Yun's ear.
He ignored it, suddenly turned his body, and drew back the Sun-Shooting Nine Sorrows Bow while spinning.
Whoosh whoosh!
Three golden rays in succession!
Each strike hit the head of the Nine-Headed Serpent emerging from the vortex.
The Nine-Headed Serpent rolled around in agony, screaming incessantly.
The terrifying sound waves traveled hundreds of miles away, causing countless sea fish to explode within them. Even some sea beasts hundreds of miles away could not withstand the high-pitched sound waves, their internal organs shattering and causing them to die.
Yi Yun 'Protective Vital Energy surged, and many bloody marks appeared on his body. His fingers and arms, which were used to draw the bowstring, were torn and bleeding profusely.
Sun-Shooting Nine Sorrows Bow repeatedly put a tremendous strain on Yi Yun's arm!
Despite being hit by three arrows, Jiuying's injuries were much lighter than Yi Yun's.
Yi Yun attacked Jiu Ying, but it was Yi Yun himself who was more seriously injured!
Such terrifying physical defense inspires despair.
Yi Yun gritted his teeth. Covered in blood, he seized the moment when Jiu Ying retreated and suddenly circulated his vital energy, using the <Golden Crow Sun-Plunder> Movement Technique to retreat backward.
He lunged towards the entrance to the Empress Secret Realm!
The seawater burst open in front of and behind him, and the other heads of the Nine-Headed Serpent rushed toward him.
Yi Yun pushed the Golden Crow Sun-Plunder to its limit, and at the critical moment, his figure vanished into the portal of light!
Boom boom boom!
The gate to the Empress Secret Realm withstood all the attacks; although Jiuying possessed immense strength, it could not shake the entrance to the Empress Secret Realm in the slightest.
As soon as he entered the portal, Yi Yun immediately took out an ancient relic and swallowed it.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, turned back to look at the portal, his eyes flashing with burning fighting spirit.
The real battle has only just begun. At the bottom of the ocean, Yi Yun knew he was no match for the Nine-Headed Serpent. So he chose another battlefield from the start— the Empress Secret Realm!
Only here could he possibly fight Jiuying!
However, Jiuying possesses a certain level of intelligence. If Yi Yun had entered the portal from the beginning, Jiuying might not have pursued him. Yi Yun fought Jiuying to the death, even injuring himself, precisely to thoroughly enrage Jiuying.
When Yi Yun's strength proved insufficient against Jiu Ying, and Jiu Ying was injured, it was highly likely that Jiu Ying would pursue him in a fit of rage.
This was Yi Yun's plan, and also his greatest asset in daring to venture alone into the depths of the Myriad Tribulation Sea!
