Chapter 161 Witnessing the "Boom"

The moment the Son of Heaven Sword broke in the hands of the Heavenly Serpent Emperor, a spatial storm enveloped him.

However, that last wisp of Sword Qi also managed to tear through the spatial storm and strike the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

Fortunately, the breakage of the Son of Heaven Sword deprived this Sword Qi of its continued power.

Even so, the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was pale-faced and showed a lingering fear.

"Tick-tock tick-tock"

Blood dripped from the chest of the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion onto the ground. Looking at the Former Mansion Lord the Heavenly Serpent Mansion again...

At this moment, besides the numerous sword wounds on his body, the most terrifying thing was the wound on his chest that almost severed him at the waist.

At the wound, the Sword Qi was still raging.

For the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, who was a Dou Venerable, the other sword wounds on his body were actually no big deal.

Take some Medicinal Pill, and you'll recover in a few days.

However, the final blow from the Heavenly Serpent Emperor truly frightened him.

To be honest, if the Heavenly Serpent Emperor's Son of Heaven Sword hadn't given out and broken, he might have already been cut in two at the waist.

Even though he was Dou Zun expert, if his body was cut in half, he could still protect his soul from danger in advance.

However, such an outcome would be too damaging for the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion!

With the physical body destroyed, leaving only the soul, one can only engage in possession.

As for having others help reconstruct the physical body?

I'm sorry, that's too difficult!

At the very least, no one in the Northwest Continent could accomplish such a thing.

Even in Central Plains, those with such abilities are probably extremely rare!

Therefore, such an outcome is absolutely unacceptable to the Former Mansion Lord the Heavenly Serpent Mansion!

Fortunately, none of this happened in the end.

Although the Heavenly Serpent Emperor's final blow had indeed severely injured him.

But as long as the body is not completely destroyed, it can always recover in the future with some time.

Therefore, the reason why the Former Mansion Lord the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was pale at this moment was twofold: firstly, the final blow from the Heavenly Serpent Emperor had indeed seriously injured him, and secondly, he was terrified.

So close, so very close!

How could this not scare the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion?

If it were anyone else in charge, their expression probably wouldn't be much better than that of the Former Mansion Lord the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

"That was a truly terrifying blow!"

After taking out a Medicinal Pill from his Storage Ring and swallowing it to stop the continuous dripping of blood from his chest, the Former Mansion Lord the Heavenly Serpent Mansion sighed with lingering fear.

At this moment, he had gradually calmed down.

After all, despite the perilous process, he did indeed win this battle!

Sure enough, when they looked at the Heavenly Serpent Emperor again, he was already imprisoned by the spatial storm around him and could not even move.

In his hands, there was only a broken Son of Heaven Sword.

As for the other half?

It has been completely swallowed up by the space storm.

Faced with this outcome, a look of dejection appeared on the face of the Heavenly Serpent Emperor.

He had calculated everything, but in the end, he was defeated by his own weapon!

To be honest, this was something he had never thought of from the beginning.

However, the Heavenly Serpent Emperor cannot be entirely blamed for this.

After all, in the Battle Through the Heavens Continent, techniques like Formation and weapon crafting had long since declined.

In the Northwest Continent, the Heavenly Serpent Sword in the hands of the Heavenly Serpent Emperor is actually considered a top-tier weapon.

Even so, it was ultimately interrupted by the battle between the Former Mansion Lord the Heavenly Serpent Mansion and the Heavenly Serpent Emperor.

"I lost----"

There was no resentment in those words; when the Heavenly Serpent Emperor uttered them, there was only a sense of relief.

He had already anticipated the outcome of failure, so he had no regrets.

If they win, the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family will surpass the Heavenly Serpent Mansion; if they lose, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion will rule the Heavenly Serpent Empire.

There are only these two possible endings.

"Any last words?"

At this moment, the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion looked at the Heavenly Serpent Emperor with a complicated expression and asked.

Clearly, the Former Mansion Lord the Heavenly Serpent Mansion had already seen through the Heavenly Serpent Emperor's death wish.

Or rather, in the final clash between the two, when the Heavenly Serpent Emperor chose to increase his power recklessly, the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion could no longer hold onto the earlier idea of sparing the other's life.

The rest of the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family can be kept alive; the Heavenly Serpent Mansion will find a way to control them. But the Heavenly Serpent Emperor absolutely cannot live!

Because this man is too dangerous!

The other person is someone who will stop at nothing.

Such a person is beyond the control of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

Who knows, one day the other party might destroy his Heavenly Serpent Mansion, and then he would be a sinner against the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

"From now on, the Heavenly Serpent Empire will rely on the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. As for the rest of the Imperial Family, let them stay if they can, since they are also part of our Heavenly Serpent Empire."

Faced with the question from the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, the Heavenly Serpent Emperor, who already knew his fate, said calmly.

"I will do my best."

The Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion nodded in agreement.

After all, what the Heavenly Serpent Emperor said was also what he thought.

If the Imperial Family were wiped out, it would be a significant blow to their Heavenly Serpent Empire.

This is not what the Former Mansion Lord the Heavenly Serpent Mansion wanted to see.

Therefore, the best outcome would be for the Heavenly Serpent Mansion to take control of the Imperial Family after the death of the Heavenly Serpent Emperor, and then manipulate the future operation of the Heavenly Serpent Empire.

"I've already given instructions to the Earth Serpent and the Yellow Serpent. If I lose, the Imperial Family will accept the rule of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion."

The Heavenly Serpent Emperor continued.

"Your Majesty the Heavenly Serpent! ×3"

At this moment, the Earth Serpent, Yellow Serpent, and the Earth Snake who had already stopped fighting couldn't help but speak up.

At this moment, they didn't know what to say.

After all, a defeat is a defeat, and they can't make excuses.

Or rather, they had already considered this outcome.

For the sake of the Heavenly Serpent Empire, they naturally cannot die.

But the Heavenly Serpent Mansion probably won't trust them in the future.

It's almost essential to bring them under control using special methods!

However, they had no choice but to endure it.

Because this is their only chance to preserve their Imperial Family.

At the same time, the Golden Snake and the Wood Snake also came over, glanced at the three Earth Serpent, and said nothing more.

This was indeed the best outcome for their entire Heavenly Serpent Empire.

From now on, the entire Heavenly Serpent Empire will have only one voice, and that voice will belong to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion!

"The Heavenly Serpent Empire will not fall in the hands of my Heavenly Serpent Mansion!"

After the Heavenly Serpent Emperor finished giving instructions, the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion made a promise.

The Heavenly Serpent Emperor said nothing more, but instead turned to look around for something.

His gaze was fixed on the Dou Zong watching from afar.

Today, the Dou Zong, including Xiao Lin, can be said to have witnessed the power transition process of the Heavenly Serpent Empire.

"Elder Lin, let Jia Nan Academy bear witness to everything that happened in the Heavenly Serpent Empire today!"

From now on, the Heavenly Serpent Empire will be ruled by the Heavenly Serpent Mansion!

This was the final declaration of the Heavenly Serpent Emperor.

Xiao Lin was somewhat bewildered after hearing the declaration from the Heavenly Serpent Emperor.

"Huh? So that's what I'm supposed to do?"

Xiao Lin thought to himself, somewhat speechless.

Of course, initially, the Heavenly Serpent Emperor intended for the Jia Nan Academy, one of the two major powers in the Northwest Continent, to witness the moment when the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family would completely rule the Heavenly Serpent Empire.

After all, Jia Nan Academy's influence in the Northwest Continent is well-known.

This is also the main reason why the Heavenly Serpent Emperor insisted that Jia Nan Academy send representatives to participate in this Founding Ceremony.

This is what a real platform should be!

However, the Heavenly Serpent Emperor can indeed be described as a man of great ambition.

He lost.

Xiao Lin, as the representative of the Jia Nan Academy, thus became a supporter of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion!

At the same time, Xiao Lin will also serve as a witness to this upheaval.

As for the Dou Zong from other forces?

Sorry, in the eyes of the Heavenly Serpent Emperor, they are not qualified!

It can be said that the Heavenly Serpent Emperor had already planned all of this from the very beginning.

"I bear witness!"

Pulling himself back to reality, Xiao Lin spoke up loudly.
