Heaven Swallowing Python Nest
After Qing Lin subdued Yao Ming, Xiao Yan asked directly, "I came to the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs to find the Yellow Springs Blood Crystal. Since you are the patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, you should know the location of that thing, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Ming did not hesitate and immediately took out the Yellow Springs Blood Crystal.
Of course, there was no use in him hesitating. The moment he was controlled by the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, his secret was discovered by Qing Lin.
A streak of crimson light shot out and hovered in front of Xiao Yan; it was a crimson crystal about the size of a fist.
Within that crystal, it seemed as if endless blood was flowing, making it look extremely eerie.
"Yellow Springs Blood Crystal!" Gazing at the crystal with its eerie blood-red hue, Xiao Yan reached out and grasped it in his hand.
The moment the crystal was in his hand, a terrifyingly cold power emanated from his palm, causing the Heavenly Flames protecting Xiao Yan to become extremely weak in an instant, as if they had been extinguished.
"This is a top-grade Yellow Springs Blood Crystal; its chilling power is truly terrifying!"
With a flick of his arm, Xiao Yan enhanced the intensity of the Heavenly Flames and carefully stored the Yellow Springs Blood Crystal into his Storage Ring.
Yao Ming said, "Even in the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs, Yellow Springs Blood Crystal are extremely rare. Generally speaking, it takes nearly a thousand years to condense a piece the size of a palm. In these hundreds of years, I have devoured so many that only this one piece remains..."
Xiao Yan looked up at Yao Ming: "Although rescuing you will be a piece of cake, the arrangement here is probably connected to Yao Xiaotian. Once you are rescued, Yao Xiaotian will also sense it."
Yao Ming nodded affirmatively. "After I am unsealed, that beast Yao Xiaotian will indeed find out. However, what binds me is not these chains, but the Yellow Springs Yin Stone at the end of the chains."
Within that Yellow Springs Yin Stone, a continuous stream of chilling energy surges forth, consuming my Dou Qi and leaving me constantly in a state of extreme weakness."
Medusa looked up and saw that the end of an iron chain was deeply embedded in a dark mountain.
The mountain wasn't very large, only a few dozen feet high, but the chilling power it contained was dozens of times stronger than that of ordinary spring water, making it extremely difficult to even get close.
Yao Ming said in a hoarse voice, "The Yellow Springs Yin Stone was originally just a little special, but it has been tempered by the power of Yin and cold for a long time in the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs, and has long become indestructible. Even if I recover my strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to destroy it."
"That's perfect. We can cultivate here in the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring and improve our strength. It will be much easier to help you then," Xiao Yan replied immediately. He didn't find it difficult to break the Yellow Springs Yin Stone, but he didn't intend to act immediately.
With his Emperor Flame Divine Eyes activated, Xiao Yan scanned his surroundings. After a while, he finally spotted a clue on a mountain wall.
Leading Qing Lin and the other two to the mountain wall, Xiao Yan waved his sleeve, and an invisible flame immediately cleared away the silt accumulated on the mountain wall.
After the silt was cleared away, a cave shimmering with colorful light appeared before Xiao Yan and his companions.
Looking at the rather mysterious cave, Medusa's expression changed. "The aura of the Heaven Swallowing Python!"
Xiao Yan only learned a few fragments about the Sky-Swallowing Python Clan's lair at the bottom of the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs from the simulation.
The Sky-Swallowing Python Clan, when cultivated to its peak, even a Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python like Medusa could reach a level comparable to Dou Sheng. The fact that the entire clan died in this Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs is truly bizarre.
Faced with this unfamiliar situation, Xiao Yan didn't say much. He enhanced the power of his Heavenly Flames and entered the cave first.
Medusa and the other two each took a pill before catching up with Xiao Yan.
After walking through a winding passage for quite some time, Xiao Yan and his companions felt themselves descending into a new, enormous underground space.
Here, the corpses of countless Heaven Swallowing Python formed a powerful, multicolored glow.
Although these Heaven Swallowing Python had been dead for a long time and their bodies were damaged, their souls still existed.
However, due to the passage of time, these souls are not complete; they are all incomplete.
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed, and he unleashed the Fallen Heart Flame over a wide area, immediately activating all the souls of the Heaven Swallowing Python.
Countless souls of the Heaven Swallowing Python awakened, drifting out of their skeletons and hovering in mid-air. The pythons intertwined, forming a huge, colorful cloud.
Faced with the sight of countless giant pythons flicking their tongues, even Xiao Yan, who was quite powerful, felt a chill run down his spine.
Seeing this strange scene, Medusa and the other two seemed to be able to understand the beast language spoken by these Heaven Swallowing Python.
A moment later, the three of them slowly knelt on the ground, their faces showing a devout expression.
Just then, the souls of the Heaven Swallowing Python surged and churned violently, transforming into a colorful cloud that enveloped Medusa and the other two.
A powerful force erupted from the colorful clouds. Even though Xiao Yan raised his hand to block it, he was still knocked back more than a hundred feet.
Shaking his arm, Xiao Yan didn't approach. Instead, he found an open space, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate.
While the environment of the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs was extremely beneficial to Medusa and her companions, it was not without its advantages for him as well.
As the power of the various Heavenly Flames on his body gradually decreased, Xiao Yan focused more on controlling the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, gradually increasing their power.
Although the Yin-Yang Twin Flames rank very low on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, they contain the Yin-Yang Natural Law, which are the origin of all things in the world.
Born from the origin, the Yin-Yang Twin Flames are filled with the dual power of life and death. The Yang Flame saves people and brings endless life, while the Yin Flame kills people and leaves no trace of their bodies.
Enveloped in black and white, Xiao Yan focused intently on harmonizing the cold and dampness affecting his body with the fire-elemental energy within.
The two flames, one black and one white, intertwined, moving rapidly like yin and yang fish. Before long, Xiao Yan found himself inside a yin-yang fish pattern the size of a millstone.
In this constant process of balancing, Xiao Yan not only reduced the power of other Heavenly Flames, but also reduced Heavenly Flames quantity.
Once the number of Heavenly Flames decreased to only one type, Yin-Yang Twin Flames, which was still enough to maintain his physical condition, Xiao Yan suddenly changed the hand seals he was forming and began to mobilize the energy of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.
In an instant, the Yin-Yang Twin Flames reacted extremely violently, especially the yin-yang fish pattern the size of a millstone, which began to spin rapidly.
By guiding the icy power within the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring, the intensity of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame is directly enhanced. At the moment the balance between ice and fire is broken, the Yin-Yang Twin Flames come into play, and a surge of heat flows into the Bone Spirit Cold Flame Bone Spirit Cold Flame, allowing it to maintain its Yin-Yang balance.
