Earth Fiend Serves His Master, Ten Thousand Year Technique

After the Earth Demon Old Ghost appeared, he immediately fixed his gaze upon Shen Shihuang.

However.

The aura emanating from the Heaven Eye Pupil Elder and the other two instantly extinguished the Earth Demon Old Ghost's smug delight.

Dou Zun experts!!

"You... you all actually broke through?"

The Earth Demon Old Ghost asked, finding it hard to believe.

Gai Shentong looked at the Earth Demon Old Ghost with a chuckle and said, "Earth Demon Old Ghost, do you truly think that just because you reached the nine-star Dou Zong level, you can challenge us?"

The Earth Demon Old Ghost's eyes flickered. "The three of you, I have some grievances with this brat, and surely this boy has no significant connection to you three, does he?"

Upon hearing this, the Heaven Eye Pupil Elder asked, "And what do you intend to do about it?"

The Earth Demon Old Ghost gave a sinister smile and looked at Shen Shihuang. "Brat, back in Jade City, you nearly caused this old man to perish. Don't tell me that has nothing to do with you!"

As he spoke, the Earth Demon Old Ghost moved in an instant, clearly intending to kill Shen Shihuang right there.

He had witnessed Shen Shihuang's capabilities; when he was a one-star Dou Zong, Mo Tianxing was no match for him. Furthermore, Shen Shihuang was now a four-star Dou Zong. Previously, as a seven-star Dou Zong, the Earth Demon Old Ghost hadn't been very confident.

But now.

He was a nine-star Dou Zong.

His confidence had increased significantly.

"Sigh!"

Chu Shanwang let out a sigh, and before Shen Shihuang could react, Chu Shanwang's figure appeared before him.

Chu Shanwang threw a single punch.

The Earth Demon Old Ghost spat out a large mouthful of blood, his body sent flying backward instantly.

BANG!!

The Earth Demon Old Ghost slammed into the ground, staring at Chu Shanwang, who had struck him.

"Chu Shanwang..."

The Earth Demon Old Ghost could not understand.

Shen Shihuang was clearly not close to the three of them at all; why would Chu Shanwang intervene to help him?

Chu Shanwang glanced at the Earth Demon Old Ghost indifferently. "It seems that letting you in was a mistake."

Seeing that Chu Shanwang was about to strike again, a massive figure charged toward the Earth Demon Old Ghost—it was none other than the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python.

The Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python arrived above the Earth Demon Old Ghost, and a black beam of light from its maw descended directly upon him.

BOOM!

Like a thunderclap on flat ground, the Earth Demon Old Ghost's body erupted. Massive amounts of energy dissipated from within him, and his aura began to drop rapidly.

It fell all the way back to the seven-star Dou Zong level.

Seeing this scene, the Heaven Eye Pupil Elder and the others were stunned. Had the Earth Demon Old Ghost's newly broken-through strength just been reverted to its original state?

Feeling his power being dispersed, the Earth Demon Old Ghost's expression changed drastically.

His entire body transformed into a mist of blood and vanished from the spot.

The Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python returned to stand before Shen Shihuang. Unlike before, this time, the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python actually spoke.

"His power came from beneath the abyss, and the strength he obtained had not yet fully fused with his own. I scattered all the power he had gained; this time, he will only be injured, and his strength will not see any increase."

The voice belonged to a man, yet it was very effeminate.

Shen Shihuang looked at the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python and asked curiously, "We haven't met before, have we? Why are you...?"

Black mist surged from the body of the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python.

From within the black fog, a man in black robes with effeminate features stepped out. On his forehead was a miniature mark of the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python, its black light flickering in and out of existence.

"He took human form?"

Seeing the appearance of the effeminate man, the Heaven Eye Pupil Elder and the others inadvertently moved closer to Shen Shihuang, their hands already preparing battle techniques.

To this, the effeminate man merely cast a faint glance. His eyes, originally cold and slit-like, softened with a hint of warmth when he looked at Shen Shihuang.

"We have not met."

"However."

"I once swore an oath: whoever could purge the flames within my body, I would serve as their master."

"Now that you have purged the flames within me, and are even the master who controls this fire, I have no reason not to serve you," the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python said. "Although this flame has been tormenting me and hindering my strength from growing, the benefits I have gained from it are equally unimaginable."

"Since you are the master of this flame, if I serve you, I can still enjoy the benefits it brings in the future without being blocked by it anymore."

"With such a good deal, I would be a fool not to take it."

Shen Shihuang looked at the effeminate man.

He could not find a single reason to refute the man's words.

The effeminate man added, "Most importantly, if I serve you, I can help you kill, and I can also serve as your mount."

"How about it?"

Hearing the word "mount."

Heng General crawled out from Shen Shihuang's embrace, its large eyes fixed on the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python.

Upon seeing Heng General.

Heaven Eye Pupil Elder and the others showed no reaction, but the vertical pupils in the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python's eyes constricted slightly, its breathing seemed to grow heavy, and then, a smile appeared on its face.

"It's a deal!"

The Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python waved a hand, and the plaza vanished instantly, replaced by a vortex of the same size.

Everyone present fell directly into the vortex.

A desolate mountain.

After Shen Shihuang bid farewell to the three seniors, the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python stood quietly behind him.

"You recognize Heng General?"

Shen Shihuang asked.

The Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python nodded, a smile still on its face: "At first, I only thought you possessed such a marvelous Heavenly Flame, but now, I feel that following by your side will bring me even more benefits."

"An Origin Beast."

"A Thunder Origin Beast."

"This is not something an ordinary person can obtain, and you are currently only at the strength of a four-star Dou Zong."

Shen Shihuang: "...!"

Heng General hopped out of Shen Shihuang's embrace and instantly grew in size. Shen Shihuang and Zi Yan climbed onto its back, and the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python followed closely by Shen Shihuang's side.

"Let's go, find a quiet place. I need to go into seclusion."

Now that his 'Ten Thousand Year Technique' had leveled up, he hadn't yet had the chance to discover all its benefits. Before returning to Jianan Academy, he had to fully understand the 'Ten Thousand Year Technique'.

"Right, I'll call you Disha from now on, alright?" Shen Shihuang thought of the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python and asked.

Disha nodded: "Very well."

"Are you currently at the strength of a one-star Dou Zun?" Shen Shihuang asked again.

Disha looked at Shen Shihuang and said, "If you are willing to use that Heavenly Flame of yours to assist me, I can reach five-star Dou Zun within a month."

Hearing this.

Shen Shihuang couldn't help but sigh: "A long accumulation leading to a sudden breakthrough!"

Heaven only knew just how deep the foundation of the Earth-Fiend Heaven-Tearing Python truly was.

Heng General carried Shen Shihuang and the others to a desolate region where, as far as the eye could see, no living creatures were to be found.

"There really are quite a few desolate places in this Black-Corner Region."

Finding a random spot, Zi Yan, Heng General, and Disha stood guard not far from Shen Shihuang.

"Ten Thousand Year Technique."

Shen Shihuang knew that after the 'Ten Thousand Year Technique' leveled up, a profound sensation lingered in his heart.

"Whoosh!"

Once Shen Shihuang began circulating the 'Ten Thousand Year Technique', the Taisui Flame within his body stirred, and along with the Sea Heart Flame, it appeared before him.

The surrounding power of heaven and earth surged frantically.

He did not know if it was because of the flames or the technique...
