586: Chapter 586 The Soul of the Heavenly Serpent, Yun Yun of the Flower Sect

Yun Xiao had been imprisoned within the Heaven-Reaching Tomb, his strength weakened to the absolute extreme.

After falling under Hun Tiandi's control, through numerous battles and the resources of the Dazheng Empire, his strength had fully recovered before coming to the Central Plains.

"Seeking death..."

Yun Xiao's voice was cold to the extreme, and his figure suddenly vanished from the spot without the slightest warning.

He abruptly appeared in front of the Green Scale Snake Saint. Violent energy instantly erupted from within his body, forming a gale around him and a massive vortex before his eyes.

Enveloping the Green Scale Snake Saint within, Yun Xiao stepped onto the wind vortex and spoke indifferently, "Today, within this wind vortex, we fight until death!"

Hearing this, a look of solemnity appeared on Qing Lin's beautiful face.

During their brief initial exchange, although she hadn't used her trump cards, she already felt that Yun Xiao's strength was very formidable and surpassed her own.

She sighed inwardly. She had originally been invited by Pavilion Master You Quan of the Starfall Pavilion to capture a young girl possessing a Divine Eye, intending to devour her.

This was to evolve her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. Ever since advancing to the Dou Saint level, Qing Lin's strength progression had become slow.

There was a massive chasm between every star within the Dou Saint rank.

On the Fighting Qi Continent, for a Dou Saint powerhouse to increase their strength by a single star, it would take decades or even a century.

This was why Dou Saint powerhouses within various major factions remained aloof from worldly affairs, spending the entire year in secluded cultivation.

They didn't even have enough time for cultivation, let alone the leisure to pay attention to current events in the outside world.

Unless their faction faced the disaster of annihilation, they would not emerge from seclusion. Otherwise, it was difficult even for their own children or disciples to see them.

She had originally planned to leave the Starfall Pavilion after devouring that girl.

She hadn't expected the girl's background to be so terrifying, but the Green Scale Snake Saint was truly unwilling to give up.

The Green Scale Snake Saint's plan was to increase her strength, advance to the Dou Di rank, and ascend to find her Young Master Xiao Yan.

"Hmph, then let us fight!"

"Who lives and who dies is yet to be known." The Green Scale Snake Saint took a deep breath, an eerie light flickering within her jade-green pupils.

"Ancient Heavenly Serpent, Soul of the Magical Beast, come forth for this Saint!"

Suddenly, a dense ancient baleful aura permeated her body. Within the infinite black mist behind her, a thousand-foot-tall behemoth loomed indistinctly.

It seemed to be a coiled, sky-reaching python. Strangely, this giant python appeared to have nine heads.

"Soul of the Heavenly Serpent?" Hun Tiandi said in surprise from a distance. He hadn't expected such an ancient malevolent creature to be spiraling around the Green Scale Snake Saint.

Jie jie jie, if Mei Niang were here, she would surely be delighted by such a find.

As the ruler of the Snake-people Tribe, after devouring the holy flower, Mei Niang had refined her Snake-people bloodline and broken through its shackles.

She had awakened the Ancient Heavenly Serpent bloodline, and her strength had skyrocketed.

"Qing Lin actually used the Soul of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent. Does she want to end the battle in one stroke?"

Pavilion Master You Quan exclaimed. Through various channels, she knew that the Green Scale Snake Saint possessed some terrifying trump cards.

Such as the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, the Soul of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent...

As Hun Tiandi watched the Soul of the Heavenly Serpent, the tightly closed snake eyes on one of the massive heads snapped open.

A fierce and malevolent aura was released without warning. The surrounding black mist seemed to be summoned, flowing like a tide.

The crimson snake eyes were like two blood moons.

"A mutated Soul of the Heavenly Serpent? How interesting."

Yun Xiao looked at the malevolent creature, a hint of excitement appearing in his eyes. One must know that an Ancient Heavenly Serpent usually has only one head; only rare mutations would grow nine.

Hu!

Taking a deep breath, he actually began to plunder the violent baleful aura emitted by the Soul of the Heavenly Serpent.

It was as if he were eating something delicious.

"Not good!" Mu Qingluan's expression was extremely solemn. She quietly took out a jade slip from her storage ring and held it in her palm, torn over whether or not to use it.

Suppressing the turmoil in her heart, she waited for the outcome of the Green Scale Snake Saint's battle.

Within the wind vortex, the battle between the Green Scale Snake Saint and Yun Xiao had already reached a fever pitch.

"You Quan, whatever trump cards you have left, use them all!"

Hun Tiandi suddenly spoke, mocking her.

"Hun Tiandi, don't get ahead of yourself. You were bold enough to come to my Starfall Pavilion today; this will be your burial ground!"

Pavilion Master You Quan said angrily, her jade-like hands clenching until they creaked, wishing she could pull out his tendons and strip his bones.

At this point, who was right and who was wrong no longer mattered.

"Since you won't make a move, then I shall. I wonder if the Starfall Pavilion, which is famous throughout the Central Plains, can withstand it?"

Hun Tiandi smiled coldly. With a casual movement, the nether demonic zither appeared in his hand once again.

Ding dong...

He directly performed the Purgatory Soul-Suppressing Melody, the first movement: Tongue-Ripping Purgatory.

The long and eerie zither music echoed in the sky. The Nether Energy that had been dormant on the ground erupted like underground magma from a volcano.

It surged into the sky, rushing toward the disciples of the Starfall Pavilion.

"Not good, everyone, quickly put up a protective shield!" Mu Qingluan cried out, having already witnessed the terror of this zither music.

Heh...

An elder of the Starfall Pavilion gave a low shout, circulating the Dou Qi within his body. With both hands raised, he formed a multicolored energy shield in mid-air.

The moment the shield collided with the zither music, ripples surged across it.

Ding dong...

Hun Tiandi smiled coldly. The zither music became increasingly rapid, constantly battering the shield. The Purgatory Soul-Suppressing Melody was a supreme demonic tune; how could ordinary people withstand it?

Kacha!

A crack appeared in the energy shield. Nether Energy, mixed with the demonic sound, invaded within.

Instantly, it converged into the terrifying scene of the Tongue-Ripping Purgatory.

In the endless nether purgatory, countless jailers held pincers, grabbing the tongues of the punished sinful souls and pulling them out long and hard.

Puchi!

With a forceful pull, the tongues were ripped out, blood splattering. The illusion of the Tongue-Ripping Purgatory manifested before their eyes, terrifying the disciples of the Starfall Pavilion.

They instantly broke down and ran in all directions.

"No, don't come over here, don't rip out my tongue..."

"Mother, I want to leave the Starfall Pavilion, I don't want to cultivate anymore..."

This panic spread, instilling fear in many disciples. Illusions even appeared before their eyes as they looked at their fellow brothers and sisters beside them...

Seeing them as jailers of purgatory, they drew their weapons in terror and attacked the "jailers" next to them.

But the jailers they saw were actually their fellow Starfall Pavilion disciples.

They were companions who spent every day together, yet today they were fighting each other.

"Don't panic! Don't let the zither music interfere with you!"

Mu Qingluan shouted, her Dou Qi rolling like thunder, shaking the very space until it rippled.

The disciples caught in the slaughter froze, but unfortunately, the seeds of terror from the Purgatory Soul-Suppressing Melody had already been deeply planted in their hearts.

Even the disciples who regained their senses gripped their weapons and warily watched their surroundings. An invisible rift had formed in the bond between the disciples.

Rumble!

"Wind's Extreme: Meteor Kill!"

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out above the Starfall Pavilion. A strange longsword trembled violently, and a tiny, thumb-sized beam of profound light...

...instantly shot forth.

The moment the light appeared, the entire space trembled.

It actually severed the pervasive zither music. A fierce blast of energy erupted, and a brilliant sword light pierced through heaven and earth.

Hun Tiandi pressed his palm down, and the zither music came to an abrupt halt. His face turned completely dark.

"Who is it? Get out here!"

Swoosh!

A figure stood proudly in mid-air, a plain dress wrapping around her proud, graceful body. She held a strange longsword that emitted a green glow.

Her black hair was styled into a noble phoenix hairpiece, making her beautiful and moving. She naturally exuded an air of elegance and nobility.

"Sect Leader of the Flower Sect, Yun Yun!"
