Strange Sky-Tearing Python, Terrifying Seven-Colored Radiance

BOOM!!

What is it like to unleash a finishing move point-blank?

Shen Shihuang was currently experiencing exactly that. With his bone wings vibrating, he arrived directly before the head of the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python, raised the Thunder Seal with both hands, and slammed it straight into the beast's maw.

Wooooooo~~~~~~~~~~

The Thunder Seal shattered. Shen Shihuang and the head of the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python were both engulfed in lightning, the sound of crackling electricity filling the air. The python's head tilted slightly before its massive body tumbled back onto the ground once more.

At this moment.

Heaven Eye Pupil Elder and the other two struck simultaneously.

"Heaven-Eye Demon-Slaying Light!"

Chu Shanwang radiated a terrifying aura, resembling an ancient, savage beast.

"Wild Prison Heaven-King Force!"

He punched directly toward the body of the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python.

Gai Shentong transformed his hand into a blade: "Sword Qi!"

The three attacks arrived in an instant.

Seeing this, Shen Shihuang rapidly formed seals with his hands, a dragon shadow manifesting: "Brahma Dragon-Subduing Seal!!"

All four attacks landed squarely on the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python.

Rumble~~~~~~~~~~

The sound of the explosion erupted, and the terrifying force swept out in all directions. Outside the plaza, two of the stone pillars within the abyss were shattered by the shockwave, the tumbling debris falling into the depths and vanishing from sight.

ROAR~~~~~~~~

The scales on the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python were shattered, its body mottled with blood.

This time, it didn't bother with Shen Shihuang and the others. Instead, it turned around and bolted toward the side of the plaza, its massive frame disappearing into the abyss.

"What is going on?"

Seeing the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python flee, Chu Shanwang's face filled with confusion.

Heaven Eye Pupil Elder speculated, "I fear this is its habitat, and we are the intruders, even if it wasn't our target."

In the plaza.

The Seven-Colored Altar remained, emitting a mysterious, seven-colored glow.

"Let's leave it for now. If it were a true life-or-death struggle, we would likely all be injured," Gai Shentong said, looking toward the Seven-Colored Altar. "Our goal is the Seven-Colored Altar; everything else is secondary."

Heaven Eye Pupil Elder nodded in agreement.

The three of them slowly approached the Seven-Colored Altar. It occupied the center of the plaza, and although the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python had emerged from within, no one knew if other dangers lurked inside, and no one dared to be certain.

Seeing this.

Shen Shihuang did not follow, instead quietly retreating once more.

The Dou Huang experts behind him twitched at the sight of his actions: Big Brother, is this really necessary? You were just slamming your attacks into the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python's face, and now you're backing off again??

Wasn't he being a bit too cautious?

If Shen Shihuang knew their thoughts, he would certainly object. Was that what he wanted? If the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python hadn't come charging at him, he wouldn't have lifted a finger.

He gripped the Earth-Suppressing Heaven-Supporting Staff in his hand.

Shen Shihuang watched the Seven-Colored Altar with vigilance.

"It should be fine now. I don't sense any other auras," Zi Yan said, coming to Shen Shihuang's side.

Shen Shihuang did not lower his guard. Even Zi Yan hadn't sensed the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python earlier.

What if there was another one?

This Dou Qi Continent was no longer the one he knew. Brother Xiao Yan, hurry to Jianan Academy; this brother needs your help to grow stronger.

Thinking of the Fallen Heart Flame and the Three Thousand Burning Flames in the future, Shen Shihuang missed Brother Xiao Yan immensely.

Somewhere in the Black-Corner Region.

A hidden location.

"Achoo!"

Xiao Yan was concealing himself when he suddenly sneezed.

"What is it?"

Yao Lao's voice echoed in Xiao Yan's ear.

Xiao Yan rubbed his nose: "My nose felt a bit uncomfortable just now, I don't know why."

Before the Seven-Colored Altar.

After the three men approached, Gai Shentong blocked the other two and said, "Let me go first."

Gai Shentong was just about to reach out and touch the Seven-Colored Altar.

Chu Shanwang said in a muffled voice, "Let me do it. If there's any danger, my strength at least ensures I won't die!"

When it came to pure physical strength.

Heaven Eye Pupil Elder and Gai Shentong combined could not compare to Chu Shanwang alone.

Chu Shanwang pressed his hand onto the Seven-Colored Altar, and in an instant, a terrifying aura erupted from within the previously silent altar.

"Retreat, quickly!!"

Chu Shanwang's expression shifted.

The three of them retreated rapidly.

However.

When the seven-colored light burst forth from the Seven-Colored Altar, it swept across the entire plaza like a light of world-ending destruction.

"Ugh!"

Being the closest, Heaven Eye Pupil Elder and the others were struck directly by a beam of seven-colored light; they spat out blood as their bodies were sent flying.

Shen Shihuang and his group were further away.

When this terrifying aura emerged, Shen Shihuang grabbed Zi Yan, his bone wings flapping behind him as he prepared to fly toward the exit. He could sense that if he were hit by this formidable power, he would be at least severely injured, let alone Zi Yan, who only possessed the strength of a Dou Wang.

However.

When Shen Shihuang reached the entrance, he discovered that the exit had already vanished.

"What on earth is this thing!"

Shen Shihuang let out a low roar. Watching the incoming seven-colored light, he shielded Zi Yan behind him and swung the Earth-Suppressing Heaven-Supporting Staff at the light.

BOOM!!

As the staff collided with the seven-colored light, Shen Shihuang felt an irresistible, overwhelming force surge into his body.

"Taisui Flame!"

With the strange fire burning, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of Shen Shihuang's mouth as he barely managed to neutralize the power of the seven-colored light within him. The other Dou Huang experts were not so lucky.

Three of the eight-star Dou Huang experts had their bodies instantly blasted into mists of blood.

"Senior, what is going on?"

Shen Shihuang shouted.

However.

Gai Shentong's voice came through, making Shen Shihuang want to curse out loud.

"Watch out, there's another wave!"

Shen Shihuang: "...!"

The Dou Huang experts: "What the hell!!"

Each of them unleashed their ultimate techniques as the seven-colored light erupted from the Seven-Colored Altar once more, sweeping across the crowd.

Just as Shen Shihuang was preparing to unleash his Taisui Flame.

A massive python tail appeared before his eyes, coiling around Shen Shihuang and shielding him from the seven-colored light. As the light dissipated, Shen Shihuang's face was splattered with blood. He stared in disbelief at the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python that had blocked the light for him, unable to react for a moment.

"Old Shen, is it helping you?" Zi Yan asked curiously.

At this moment.

The Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python turned its head, and the eyes looking at Shen Shihuang seemed to hold a hint of gentleness??

"Wooo!!"

The Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python lowered its head until it was right in front of Shen Shihuang. Its head alone was larger than Shen Shihuang himself, and it slowly drew closer to him.

"You're helping me?"

Seeing that the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python held no malice, Shen Shihuang asked curiously.

If the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python had wanted to kill him, a single squeeze would have crushed him to death.

The Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python spat out a ball of black flame, which hovered before Shen Shihuang.

Upon seeing the black flame.

Shen Shihuang's eyes widened.

"Taisui Flame?"

The aura of this flame was exactly the same as his own Taisui Flame.

"What is going on?"

Shen Shihuang was completely bewildered. How could the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python also possess Taisui Flame within its body?
