Sword Broken, Soul Wounded

Having obtained the greatest benefit within the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Palace, Xiao Lin had no intention of continuing to be greedy and immediately chose to return to the location of the Heavenly Water Cold Pool.

You see, once the battle at the Heavenly Water Cold Pool comes to an end, anyone who wasn't present will obviously be suspected of infiltrating the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Palace.

Xiao Lin didn't want his scheme to be discovered.

Besides, ten Earth Tier Cultivation Method and Dou Technique were definitely more than he had originally expected.

There's no need to risk exposure by searching for the treasure vault within the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Palace.

And so, Xiao Lin came quietly and left quietly.

Not long after, he returned to the location of the Heavenly Water Cold Pool.

"Boom"

Xiao Lin had just returned to the Heavenly Water Cold Pool when the battle here was already nearing its end.

The clash of two Dou Techniques that even Xiao Lin now needs to take seriously attracted his attention.

"It seems I was right not to be greedy."

After glancing at the situation on the battlefield, Xiao Lin silently pondered to himself.

At this time, the tall trees that once stood near the Heavenly Water Cold Pool had long since disappeared.

All that remains are deep pits and ravines.

These are all effects caused by the aftermath of the battle between the Heavenly Serpent Emperor and the Former Mansion Lord the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

One of them was Dou Zun expert, and the other was Nine-Star Dou Zong Sword Dao.

It's perfectly normal for a collision between the two to have such an impact.

After all, if Xiao Lin didn't use his Heavenly Realm Soul Power and Spiritual Formation, these were two people who could threaten him!

This is what he saw at this moment, after Xiao Lin quietly left and then returned.

The former Former Mansion Lord the Heavenly Serpent Mansion and the Heavenly Serpent Emperor stood proudly in the Void, silently confronting each other and gathering their respective power!

"Ready for the final blow?"

Seeing this, how could Xiao Lin, the only Nine-Star Dou Zong expert besides the two present, not understand the situation?

Whether it was the former Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, Dou Zun expert, or the Heavenly Serpent Emperor, who possessed the strength to challenge Dou Venerable.

Both of them have adjusted their energy and spirit to their best state.

Isn't this exactly the kind of performance you give in a final, desperate attack?

As a viewer, Xiao Lin was also looking forward to it.

Not to mention Xiao Lin, the Dou Zong from other forces around them were all wide-eyed with tension, afraid of missing this most exciting moment.

After all, in the Northwest Continent, they probably only see a battle of this caliber once in their entire lives.

At this moment, the Void behind the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was distorting.

As Dou Zun expert, even before the battle began, the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion had already accumulated several layers of debuffs.

O

But Dou Venerable is Dou Venerable after all; his control over Spatial Power is far beyond what Dou Zong can achieve.

As Dou Zun expert, each use of Spatial Power is essentially equivalent to a strike using Dou Technique.

If the Former Mansion Lord the Heavenly Serpent Mansion hadn't encountered the Heavenly Serpent Emperor, a peerless Sword Dao, today, an ordinary Nine-Star Dou Zong would have been slapped to death by him long ago.

Don't be fooled by the mere one-star difference between One-Star Dou Venerable and Nine-Star Dou Zong; it's actually a formidable gap!

Only the Sword Dao possesses unparalleled offensive capabilities; otherwise, the Heavenly Serpent Emperor would not be qualified to fight the Former Mansion Lord the Heavenly Serpent Mansion to such a near 50/50 situation.

Now, the final strike from the Former Mansion Lord the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was clearly a combination of Dou Technique and Spatial Power.

This was his strongest attack!

On the other side, the Heavenly Serpent Emperor stretched out his right hand, pointing his sword at the sky.

"Sing~"

The sound of a sword ringing out rang out, and the Void around the Son of Heaven Sword seemed to be sliced apart.

At the same time, a wisp of blue light flowed across the surface of the Son of Heaven Sword.

This is the Heavenly Serpent Emperor transforming his Dou Qi into Sword Qi!

Furthermore, if someone were to look closely, they would discover that the Heavenly Serpent Emperor was completely enveloped by a dense array of Sword Qi.

It's no exaggeration to say that if a Dou Emperor were to get close to the Heavenly Serpent Emperor right now, he would be instantly torn to shreds by the Sword Qi emanating from the Emperor!

This terrifying Sword Qi is the capital that allows the Heavenly Serpent Emperor to contend with the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

The two sides remained locked in this standoff for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Finally, just as Xiao Lin was holding his breath, the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion and the Heavenly Serpent Emperor both made their move.

The Former Mansion Lord the Heavenly Serpent Mansion stretched out his right hand and clenched it tightly in the direction of the Heavenly Serpent Emperor.

"Void Realm Vortex!"

As the Former Mansion Lord the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's low shout fell, the spatial storm swirled and crushed towards the Heavenly Serpent Emperor.

Seeing the spatial storm sweeping in, the Heavenly Serpent Emperor showed no intention of retreating.

His gaze sharpened, and the next second, he swung his sword!

"Buzz~"

"Seventh Sword - Severing the Star River!"

This was also the strongest attack from the Heavenly Serpent Emperor, the seventh of the Heaven-Raising Nine Swords!

The last three swords of the Heaven-Raising Nine Swords actually involve the power of the Dou Venerable level.

However, the Heavenly Serpent Emperor was able to forcibly unleash the power of Dou Venerable level with his cultivation of Nine-Star Dou Zong!

It's clear that the Heavenly Serpent Emperor is indeed exceptionally talented in Sword Dao.

As the Heavenly Serpent Emperor unleashed the seventh of the Heaven-Raising Nine Swords, a terrifying Sword Qi transformed into a streak of silver light, slashing directly towards the spatial storm.

The moment these two Dou Technique collided, the sky seemed to be torn apart.

The Dou Zong watching from all sides changed their expressions and fled into the distance, including Xiao Lin.

He didn't want to be dragged into this for no reason.

And so, the two Dou Technique canceled each other out.

As time passed, the spatial storm weakened, and the Sword Qi dissipated.

However, in the eyes of Dou Zong like Xiao Lin, the two would most likely Annihilation simultaneously.

However, at the very last moment, an accident still occurred.

Perhaps it was because the Sword Qi unleashed by the Heavenly Serpent Emperor was too powerful, or perhaps it was because he forcibly unleashed the seventh of the Heaven-Raising Nine Swords, that a crack suddenly appeared on his Son of Heaven Sword at a certain moment.

Upon discovering this, the Heavenly Serpent Emperor's expression immediately changed.

But now, he has no way out.

If this battle fails, his fate is almost self-evident.

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Serpent Emperor couldn't help but clench his teeth.

"Give it your all! Heavenly Serpent Sword, you must hold on!"

As the Heavenly Serpent Emperor whispered, he had already channeled all his Dou Qi into this sword strike.

This attack was a do-or-die situation for him!

As the Heavenly Serpent Emperor intensified his power, the Sword Qi actually began to tear apart the spatial storm.

However, as a price to pay, the cracks on the Son of Heaven Sword began to become increasingly noticeable.

As the Heavenly Serpent Emperor prepared to fight to the death, the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion on the other side naturally sensed it.

"You're insane!"

Seeing the Heavenly Serpent Emperor's reckless actions, the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was also startled.

In fact, although this was their last blow.

But in the mind of the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, he was only concerned with determining the winner and had no intention of risking his life.

After all, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion and the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family were originally one family. He just wanted to use this victory or defeat to decide who would be in charge of the Heavenly Serpent Empire.

The Former Mansion Lord the Heavenly Serpent Mansion even thought that after this battle, he planned to spare the life of the Heavenly Serpent Emperor and then use some special means to control the Imperial Family.

After all, both the Heavenly Serpent Mansion and the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family are part of the Heavenly Serpent Empire!

Some things don't need to be done too harshly.

Who would have thought that the Heavenly Serpent Emperor would go to such lengths?

Left with no other choice, the Former Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion also poured his last bit of Dou Qi into this attack.

And so, the clash between the two intensified!

However, the consequence of this was that the Son of Heaven Sword in the hands of the Heavenly Serpent Emperor finally gave out.

"Keng"

At one point, the Son of Heaven Sword broke.
