490: Xiaoyaozi

"Rise!"

Forty-nine figures simultaneously shouted.

Above the inch-sized rhombic crystals, streams of mysterious light connected, forming a circle with the forty-nine rhombic crystals, enclosing the enormous Black Giant Serpent.

"It's a Primordial Spirit technique again... interesting."

Above the long sky, Mo Xuan nodded slightly at this instantaneous change.

"Heh... a Yao Beast is just a Yao Beast. I don't believe I can't destroy you today."

"God-Slaying Profound Light, break!"

The Aged Figure saw that the enormous figure still had an expression of being confident of victory. He snorted coldly in his heart, and the forty-nine figures simultaneously extended their hands and pointed.

Above the inch-sized rhombic crystals that formed the Great Formation.

A green mysterious light burst forth from each, heading straight for the Black Giant Serpent.

Just as these forty-nine green mysterious lights were about to reach the Black Giant Serpent's body.

From the Black Giant Serpent's body, a Primordial Spirit illusion expanded. The Primordial Spirit illusion raised its head, its enormous snake mouth opened wide, and an endless suction force emanated from within that snake mouth.

Buzz~

The forty-nine mysterious lights that shot over were all swallowed into the mouth of the Primordial Spirit roaring to the sky, drawn in by the Primordial Spirit illusion's power of attraction.

"You don't know what's good for you. God-Slaying Profound Light, explode!"

Seeing this scene, the Aged Figures were not surprised but delighted, their hearts filled with cold sneers. They roared, intending to detonate the God-Slaying Profound Light after the Black Giant Serpent's Primordial Spirit swallowed it.

Buzz~

Connections spread from the inch-sized rhombic crystals in front of the Aged Figure.

But just a moment later, the Aged Figure's expression turned incredibly ugly.

The God-Slaying Profound Light, which should have detonated and severely injured the Black Giant Serpent's Primordial Spirit after entering its mouth, showed no reaction at all.

"Damn it, how could this be..."

The Aged Figure felt uneasy in his heart; this was the second time he had failed.

"Body like a Grotto-Heaven, refining all things."

"It is rude not to reciprocate."

The Primordial Spirit illusion that expanded from within the Black Giant Serpent lowered its head, its snake mouth wide open.

Boom!

The formless Primordial Spirit power, imbued with the green God-Slaying Profound Light, transformed into a storm and surged out from the snake's mouth.

"Not good!"

"Spirit Guarding Great Formation!"

The Aged Figure's expression changed. In front of the forty-nine figures, the inch-sized rhombic crystals suddenly spun.

A semi-circular formless Great Formation abruptly appeared, enveloping the Black Giant Serpent.

Boom!

The immensely powerful Primordial Spirit power from the Black Giant Serpent's Primordial Spirit illusion surged out, directly impacting the formless Great Formation.

The Black Giant Serpent turned its head, and the Primordial Spirit storm containing the green God-Slaying Profound Light exploded, sweeping past the Aged Figures.

"Such powerful Primordial Spirit power... How is this possible!"

Feeling this incredibly powerful Primordial Spirit impact, the Aged Figures' expressions changed drastically.

This snake Yao Beast, like him, was at the Mid-stage Void Refinement cultivation.

But this snake Yao Beast was different from other Void Refining Great Powers of the Yao Race; not only was its Physical Body powerful, and its magic power strong, but even its Primordial Spirit power was so formidable.

This completely defied logic.

"How is this possible..."

Boom!

The Aged Figure was perplexed, but the Spirit Guarding Great Formation in front of him could no longer hold up under the impact of this violent Primordial Spirit power.

Boom!

The formless semi-circular Great Formation suddenly shattered.

The violent Primordial Spirit power surged forth.

The Aged Figures were engulfed by this Primordial Spirit power, disappearing into the torrent of Primordial Spirit power.

The remaining primordial spirit clones all converged towards the Primordial Spirit beside the Aged Figure's main body.

"Pfft!"

The primordial spirit clones shattered one by one.

The Aged Figure's main body suddenly spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.

Beside him, the aura of the Primordial Spirit figure, formed by the convergence of the remaining primordial spirit clones, plummeted. Its mysterious light flickered erratically, and its body even began to turn transparent.

The Primordial Spirit was severely wounded!

"Retreat!"

The greatly damaged Primordial Spirit retreated into the Aged Figure's main body. The Aged Figure's heart was filled with terror.

If he continued to fight, he would surely die here today.

Die at the mouth of this unknown snake Yao Beast.

He had endured humiliation, outlasted countless prodigies, and now overlooked a region; he certainly wasn't going to die here so inexplicably.

"This item is returned to you, Fellow Daoist. Let us part ways here."

Magic power surged from the Aged Figure's body, sending the Storage Ring he had obtained from Zhou Leren into the Void Realm.

If it weren't for this item, how could he have suffered such severe injuries?

This Primordial Spirit injury would likely take several centuries to recover from.

The Aged Figure's heart bled.

This time, he truly tried to steal a chicken and ended up losing the rice.

The Aged Figure's movements did not stop.

After sending the Storage Ring into the Void Realm, his figure suddenly moved, disappearing from his original spot.

"Hmph, you want to leave? It's not that easy."

Above the long sky, the Black Giant Serpent's snake pupils narrowed. Within its snake pupils, the power of Heaven and Earth circulated.

The Storage Ring, which had been blasted into the Void Realm, paused, remaining in place.

"Eye of Heaven and Earth!"

Since advancing to Void Refining, his control over spatial power had deepened by several points. His innate Divine Ability, the Eye of Void Severance, had evolved into the current Eye of Heaven and Earth, controlling the power of Heaven and Earth.

Above the long sky, light flowed within the enormous Black Giant Serpent's snake pupils.

The ethereal spatial profoundness was fully revealed in Mo Xuan's eyes.

Two snake pupils, like great suns, suddenly looked in the direction where the Aged Figure had disappeared.

Layer upon layer of space became transparent, and scenery from endless distances continuously surged into the Black Giant Serpent's snake pupils, as if moving objects from the boundless distance to before its eyes.

Space continuously changed within those snake pupils, which were like great suns.

An Aged Figure, traversing through the Void Realm, suddenly stiffened. That seemingly substantial gaze felt like daggers in his back.

"Not good!"

This heaven and earth were controlled by Mo Xuan, and his speed of traversing the Void Realm greatly decreased. He just didn't expect to be caught up to so quickly.

"Heaven and Earth · Imprison."

A low, majestic and grand voice echoed in the Void Realm, resounding in the Aged Figure's ears, like a death knell.

Buzz~

The formless spatial power suddenly changed.

In the originally ethereal space, the surroundings seemed to transform into solid, unbreakable barriers.

They were continuously contracting, moving to imprison the Aged Figure.

The Aged Figure instinctively struck out, wanting to break through these spatial barriers.

But for a moment, he was unable to succeed.

"Such strong control over space and the world..."

"What kind of Yao Beast is this, after all..."

Feeling the Void Realm rapidly becoming viscous and solid, and his movements becoming increasingly slow.

The Aged Figure had a delusion.

That Black Giant Serpent seemed like a Human Race Great Power wearing a snake Yao Beast shell!

"Fellow Daoist..."

As the Aged Figure anxiously tried to break free from the spatial imprisonment, a strong sense of death arose in his heart.

The Aged Figure's expression was utterly terrified as he shouted loudly, seemingly wanting to say something.

But before his words could fall.

A torrent of wind and rain, piercing through the Void Realm, arrived from behind, engulfing the Aged Figure.

"Leave your name."

As the Aged Figure was in a daze, that low, majestic, and grand voice came again.

Before the Aged Figure's eyes, he seemed to see his past self.

"I shall be a great roc, free and unrestrained between heaven and earth..."

"Xiaoyao..."

"Heh... How can one be Xiaoyao..."

The Aged Figure's mind, slowly sinking into darkness, chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"My name is Free and Unfettered One..."

His final voice echoed, and his aura slowly dissipated within the endless torrent of wind and rain.
