Heavenly Serpent Old Man and the Eight Serpent Sect Master gave low shouts at the same time, pouring true essence into the two magic treasures like a surging tide.
The Eight Serpent Mirror abruptly expanded to over ten feet across, its surface shooting out myriad purple rays that enveloped the phantom serpent;
Poison mist churned around the Eight Serpent Staff, and the bloody light within its patterns intertwined with the mirror's purple rays, forming a thick pillar of light in midair that shot straight into the heavens!
"Hiss-"
A deafening serpent cry resounded through heaven and earth.
The dark clouds above the pillar of light were forcibly torn apart, and the phantom of an enormous creature slowly emerged.
The phantom was over a thousand feet long, its entire body covered in dark golden scales;
Each scale was engraved with eerie runes, and two heads turned slowly amid the clouds, their serpentine eyes as scarlet as lanterns;
-it was none other than the legendary Heavenly Serpent phantom!
Just then, the entire stretch of sea suddenly began to quake violently.
Sharp cracking sounds rose from deep beneath the sea, as though countless enormous creatures were breaking out of the earth.
Wang Shisan and Liu Laosi lay flat on the spirit boat, clinging desperately to its planks.
The two felt the seawater beneath them grow scalding hot. One glance down frightened their souls out of their bodies;
-the sea, originally shrouded in gray mist, had become as clear as a mirror. Hundreds of feet below, countless deep-blue formation patterns could be seen lighting up on the seabed!
Those formation patterns crisscrossed like a spiderweb, covering the seabed for hundreds of miles around.
Hundreds of black stone pillars over ten feet tall stood at the formation nodes, their surfaces densely carved with serpentine runes!
