Once everything was ready...
Mu Fusheng felt that even if danger occurred, there were multiple ways to escape unscathed.
Then it swooped down towards the bottom of the lake, towards the direction where countless snake eyes gleamed.
Rush for a while, stop for a while, and observe for a while.
Hmm... I still don't know if there are any other threats beneath this lake.
Everything must be done with caution.
Avoid overturning midway.
After slaying several more blood-red giant pythons, they all displayed the same strength, physical prowess, and attack methods.
Mu Fusheng's suspicions became increasingly clear.
The further down you go...
The view below becomes increasingly narrow.
Gradually, the surroundings were shrouded in black blood.
It was so viscous that Mu Fusheng could clearly feel a squeezing and resistance as he plunged downwards!
The moment Mu Fusheng plunged to the bottom of the lake.
The scene before him made Mu Fusheng's scalp tingle!
Ahead, countless enormous blood-red pythons were slowly swaying their blood-stained bodies, bending over, their heads facing him, their eyes fixed on Mu Fusheng!
Mu Fusheng watched this scene, his mind filled with dread.
If so many giant crimson pythons had charged out at the same time, how devastating would they have been, given that they hadn't yet realized what was happening?
"However... if it's the same as my guess..." A wisp of white flame began to slowly emerge in Mu Fusheng's eyes.
This is Soul Fire!
Infusing the eyes with Soul Fire means injecting the power of the soul into the eyes!
Everything around seemed to become clearer.
"Then, all we need to do is find the real body."
That's right.
Mu Fusheng felt that such an absurd coincidence was absolutely impossible.
This scenario is also impossible.
Therefore, according to Mu Fusheng's conjecture, there are two possibilities.
The first possibility is that it has a more powerful main body, because the blood-red python possesses Secret Method such as splitting or creating clones, thus creating so many clones.
The second type possesses a peculiar divine object that distributes this power equally among each crimson python.
Of course, there is also a third type.
That was an illusion.
However, this possibility can be almost certainly ruled out.
After all, if even Mu Fusheng's spiritual power couldn't see through or perceive something amiss with the illusion array, then the array's strength was a bit too high.
That just means that Azure Firmament Academy has no intention of letting anyone else enter the inner courtyard to obtain the inheritance!
However, given the current situation, this is impossible.
Of course, both of the first two possibilities could achieve this.
Therefore, Mu Fusheng's current task is to find the original body or that divine object, which will give him a chance to break free from this predicament.
That would allow them to cross the lake smoothly.
While thinking this, Mu Fusheng also did this.
Those eyes, burning with Soul Fire, swept over the swarm of blood-red giant pythons.
But how easy would it be to find so many giant, blood-red pythons?
Moreover, the other party is not a mere decoration; would they allow Mu Fusheng to observe them here?
The next moment.
Countless blood-red pythons began to stir restlessly!
It twisted its body, trying to surround and encircle Mu Fusheng!
Upon seeing this, eight small stone pillars appeared in Mu Fusheng's hand.
At the same time, throw it directly upwards!
The eight small stone pillars instantly transformed into eight mountains shimmering with lightning!
It crashed down in eight different places!
Suddenly, the entire lakebed began to tremble violently.
It was as if a massive underwater earthquake had occurred!
The ground trembled and cracked, and the viscous lake water churned continuously.
Eight Peaks Thunder Prison!
The swarms of blood-red pythons were instantly enveloped within.
Lightning converged into a sea of lightning, flowing among the crimson pythons, the lightning slurry washing over them.
The paralysis attack was targeting their bodies.
This is to restrict their actions.
Mu Fusheng then leaped up and arrived above these crimson pythons, his eyes quickly scanning them.
I want to find some flaws in it!
But at this moment...
An ancient voice then rang out.
" Eight Peaks Thunder Prison? Did you receive the inheritance of the Thunder Punishment God Emperor?"
Mu Fusheng was taken aback and searched for the source of the sound.
Finally, at the very center of those crimson pythons, there was an inconspicuous little stone cave!
The sound came from it.
Mu Fusheng nodded and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Yes, may I ask your name, senior?"
"You need not know my name; I am but a lowly blood serpent beneath the wrath of the Human Ancestor."
"To guard this Azure Firmament Academy for our Human Ancestor, and to protect the last vestiges of our heritage."
The final legacy?
Mu Fusheng was taken aback.
"Has the tradition from that era not been completely severed?"
"We can only say that we've lost 90%, but the remaining 10% is within the Azure Firmament Academy."
Upon hearing this, Mu Fusheng asked with a serious expression, "Then why did you tell me this, senior?"
"Our previous attack on you was merely a test to see if you were remnants of the Evil Devil Domain." A voice filled with hatred echoed from the cave entrance.
"These skeletons you see are the remnants of the Evil Devil Domain who have been trying to sever the last vestige of the Azure Firmament Academy's legacy over the years."
Mu Fusheng nodded.
This test is only to prevent the remnants of the Evil Devil Domain from entering.
"So, does that mean we can go in?" Mu Fusheng asked tentatively.
"Alright," Blood Serpent said in a low voice, "But I need you to promise me one thing."
Mu Fusheng nodded and said, "Please speak, senior."
"If you can gain the inner academy's approval, then please safeguard the legacy and pass on the will of the Azure Firmament Academy."
Mu Fusheng was taken aback, then said seriously, "Of course."
"Very good." From the cave entrance, a streak of bloody light slowly drifted out and finally landed in front of Mu Fusheng.
"You are the first person to stand before me, which proves your intelligence and talent, and that you are destined to be with me."
"In that case, this Blood Serpent Condensed Pill is yours."
"Although it's not really suitable for you, taking it will still significantly improve your Blood Qi and physical strength."
Mu Fusheng was overjoyed upon hearing this and thanked him, saying, "Thank you very much, Senior!"
This thing would be perfect for Little Senior Brother Hei.
Blood Serpent said, "No need to thank me. Just remembering what I said is the best way to repay me."
"Clear."
"Alright, you can go now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scab above disappeared.
Even the giant blood-red pythons in front of Mu Fusheng began to disappear one after another.
Mu Fusheng bowed again towards the small cave entrance before flying upwards.
However, I still felt a little depressed when I left.
If only I had unleashed the Eight Peaks Thunder Prison sooner, none of this would have happened!
Sometimes keeping your cards hidden can be a problem...
But you're telling me to tell Mu Fusheng not to be so cautious in the future?
That's impossible.
I'm depressed, that's all.
You'll dare to do it again next time...
