194: elixir

Boom!

Under the simultaneous bombardment of the three top Magical Artifacts, the surface of the Earth Immortal Cave's barrier finally showed slight signs of indentation.

However, it was still a far cry from being shattered!

"No good! Big Brother, it seems we can't break this barrier," Ji Kunchang called out.

"No need to break it, just tear open a temporary spatial rift and send me in!"

Lin Yang's face was grim, his heart filled with anxiety, regretting that his emperor belt had just been used, and he would have to wait twenty days to transform again.

Otherwise, he would have transformed and torn that Devouring Heaven Python Emperor to shreds right now.

"Father, I'll help you!"

At the critical moment, Little Ailisi stepped in to help.

Boom!

The power of the True Dragon erupted, striking the Earth Immortal Cave's barrier.

"Hiss~"

In an instant, the Earth Immortal Cave's barrier, which even the three Supreme Emperor Weapons couldn't break, immediately reacted.

The nine white-scaled great snakes swimming on the barrier suddenly lit up their eyes, as if coming alive, staring intently at Little Ailisi, who was not far from Lin Yang.

Seeing this, Lin Yang's expression changed drastically, and he quickly shielded Ailisi behind him, fearing that the Earth Immortal Cave's barrier would attack Ailisi.

However, the expected fierce counterattack did not occur.

Instead, after Ailisi released the power of the True Dragon, the nine white-scaled great snakes slowly moved, actively tearing open a spatial rift large enough for one person to pass through.

"Good Opportunity!"

Seeing this, Lin Yang immediately leaped up, directly passing through the spatial rift and entering the barrier's interior.

Ji Kunchang and the others wanted to follow closely behind, but the spatial rift instantly closed after Lin Yang passed through.

Afterward, both sides tried to repeat the trick, but they could no longer open a spatial rift as they had just done.

"I'll go find Nangong Xueli first, you all wait for me outside!"

Due to the urgency of the situation, Lin Yang was worried that Nangong Xueli might suffer at the hands of the Devouring Heaven Python Emperor at any moment.

Therefore, after several unsuccessful attempts, he could only choose to go to the Earth Immortal Cave alone, to face the ancient Devouring Heaven Python Emperor who had abducted his little wife.

"Big Brother, that Devouring Heaven Python Emperor is quite powerful, you must be careful!"

Seeing this, Ji Kunchang and the others couldn't help but worry.

After all, Ji Kunchang and Bai Feifei had personally experienced the Devouring Heaven Python Emperor's strength.

Even with the Devouring Heaven Python Emperor in a severely injured state, Ji Kunchang, wielding the yin-yang sundial, couldn't do anything to him, only watching helplessly as he abducted his sister-in-law repeatedly.

Finally, he was forced to ask Big Brother to come and help him personally.

At this moment, the Devouring Heaven Python Emperor had arrived at this Earth Immortal Cave first, and it was highly possible that he was rapidly recovering with the help of the Opportunity left by the ancient Earth Immortal.

His current strength was very likely even more terrifying than when he had fought him before.

Lin Yang going alone would undoubtedly lead to more misfortune than good.

"I understand!"

However, even so, Lin Yang did not hesitate in the slightest, turning around and quickly flashing along the stone steps at the bottom of the canyon.

In a blink of an eye, his figure disappeared from everyone's sight... At the same time.

Inside the Earth Immortal Cave.

Ji Kunchang's worries seemed to have come true.

The Devouring Heaven Python Emperor's strength was indeed recovering rapidly.

Inside the Immortal Cave, a half-human, half-python figure sat cross-legged on an altar, with a radiant Immortal Pill suspended before him.

It was the Devouring Heaven Python Emperor, gradually transforming into human form, stealing the Immortal Pill's energy left by the Earth Immortal.

In the past, he was severely injured and on the verge of death, his cultivation regressed, only able to maintain the original form of a small colorful python.

Now, as he continuously absorbed the Immortal Pill's energy left by the Earth Immortal, the chronic illnesses within his Physical Body gradually healed.

The return of his strength also gave him the ability to transform back into human form.

As his cultivation gradually recovered, the Devouring Heaven Python Emperor's gaze also subtly swept towards Nangong Xueli in a corner not far away, a lewd gleam flashing in his eyes.

"It's been tens of thousands of years since I've tasted a woman's flavor. Once I recover, I will surely enjoy myself for three days and three nights!"

Feeling the unusual gaze from the Devouring Heaven Python Emperor, Nangong Xueli's delicate body trembled slightly, and she bit her red lip with her pearly teeth.

She said nothing, lowering her head as if resigned to her fate, but in her small hands clasped behind her back, she tightly held a phantom blade.

That was the Soul Blade that Yao Mu had condensed for her with her last Soul Origin after she awakened not long ago!

Because the Devouring Heaven Python Emperor's Physical Body was too powerful, ordinary means simply couldn't harm him.

So Yao Mu, at the cost of exhausting her Soul Origin and falling into eternal slumber, had to condense this Soul Blade to create an Opportunity for Nangong Xueli to make a desperate counterattack.

"As long as the Soul Blade can be inserted into the Devouring Heaven Python's body, there's a chance to obliterate him..."

Nangong Xueli repeatedly reviewed the escape method Yao Mu had left behind, and after confirming everything, she took a deep breath.

"Tap--"

Then, taking advantage of the Devouring Heaven Python Emperor's full concentration on stealing the Immortal Pill's energy, Nangong Xueli tiptoed around to the Devouring Heaven Python Emperor's back.

"Shhh!"

The next instant, Nangong Xueli suddenly looked up, a sharp glint flashing in her beautiful eyes, and the Soul Blade in her hand stabbed violently towards the back of the Devouring Heaven Python Emperor's head.

As the blade cut through the air, it even brought forth bursts of wind and thunder.

"Clang!"

Just as Nangong Xueli thought this unexpected strike had a chance to severely wound or even kill the Devouring Heaven Python Emperor.

She completely failed to notice the playful arc that formed at the corner of the half-human, half-snake man's mouth, who had his back to her.

"Hiss~"

The next instant, just as the Soul Blade was about to pierce the man's head.

The back of the man's head suddenly split open on its own, and a small colorful snake darted out, biting the incoming Soul Blade.

Immediately following, with a "crack," the small snake actually bit the Soul Blade directly in half.

And then, it bared its fangs at Nangong Xueli, whose face had turned pale, with a mocking smile.

"Woman, it seems you're already impatient to serve this Emperor!"

The small snake spoke in human tongue.

"Immortal Rage Fire Lotus!"

Nangong Xueli's pretty face changed slightly, then she gritted her teeth, spiritual fire surged in her palm, a palm-sized fire lotus quickly formed, and then she pressed it down in mid-air towards the colorful small snake in front of her.

"Stubborn!"

Seeing Nangong Xueli so resolute, a gloomy look flashed in the colorful small snake's serpentine eyes, and then it opened its mouth, swallowing the descending fire lotus in one gulp.

Then, it flicked its tail, lashing out like a whip, striking Nangong Xueli's lower abdomen fiercely.

"Puff!"

Nangong Xueli was hit hard, immediately spitting blood and flying back dozens of feet, her delicate body slamming against a hard rock.

"In the end, can I still do nothing...?"

Leaning against the rock, Nangong Xueli's delicate long hair was somewhat disheveled, and a hint of sorrow couldn't help but appear on her pretty face.

At this moment, the figure of that young man couldn't help but reappear in her mind.

"I'm sorry, Lin Yang Gege, it seems our fate in this life is too shallow. If there is Reincarnation, let us meet again in the next life!"

A resolute look flashed in Nangong Xueli's eyes. The Devouring Heaven Python Emperor was about to recover. Since she couldn't escape from the Devouring Heaven Python Emperor's grasp, she would at least preserve her purity until the end!

"Shhh!"

With this thought, Nangong Xueli's delicate body was suddenly enveloped by a dazzling fire light.

Those were the Origins of several spiritual fires that Nangong Xueli had refined before, and now, under the control of Nangong Xueli, who was determined to die, they gradually expanded, about to be detonated.

Once the Soul Origin exploded, the Devouring Heaven Python Emperor might be able to remain unharmed due to his powerful cultivation, but Nangong Xueli herself would undoubtedly be annihilated.

"Woman, want to die? It's not that easy!"

Seeing Nangong Xueli trying to immolate herself, a furious and gloomy look flashed in the Devouring Heaven Python Emperor's cold serpentine eyes.

He, the mighty Devouring Heaven Python Emperor, was a formidable existence in ancient times, and countless women yearned to serve him but had no Opportunity.

Now, he had personally chosen this spiritual fire girl, giving her repeated opportunities to willingly submit, wanting to include her in his harem.

Yet, she was so unappreciative, even daring to immolate herself in front of him.

Was this an insult to him, the Devouring Heaven Python Emperor?

"Woman, you've angered me! Once I rebuild my true body, I will surely teach you a good lesson!"

The Devouring Heaven Python Emperor made his move, the Immortal Pill vibrated, scattering a wisp of immortal light that descended upon Nangong Xueli.

Nangong Xueli was instantly horrified to discover that the spiritual fire Origin, which should have rapidly exploded, actually shrank back under the illumination of that wisp of immortal light energy.

"Heh heh, spiritual fire is indeed a rare spiritual object of heaven and earth, but in front of the Earth Immortal's mighty power, it's far from enough," the Devouring Heaven Python Emperor sneered.

"Can't even commit suicide...?"

Nangong Xueli's lips were stained with blood, her eyes filled with despair as she leaned against the rock, swaying precariously like a wilting flower.

Reaching this desperate and helpless state, tiny drops of extreme helplessness quietly gathered in her clear eyes.

"Lin Yang Gege!"

Nangong Xueli suddenly looked up, using her last bit of strength to shout, her desperate, tearful voice sounding hoarse and strained, like a bleeding nightingale, tearing at one's heartstrings.

A Daughter of Destiny had actually been pushed to such a desperate situation!

"Heh heh heh! Scream, scream, no one will come to save you no matter how much you scream."

The Devouring Heaven Python Emperor sneered endlessly. He had already secretly activated the Earth Immortal Cave's barrier protecting the Immortal Cave. The barrier was incomparably sturdy, and he didn't believe anyone could break in.

Nangong Xueli ignored him, merely casting a final glance at the entrance of the Immortal Cave with her beautiful eyes.

Although it was unrealistic.

But how she wished that Lin Yang's figure would appear before her, just as before, like a warm beam of light, quietly descending when she was most helpless.

Alas, after a while, the Immortal Cave entrance remained dim, with no response whatsoever.

"Woo woo woo~"

Looking at the unmoving world, Nangong Xueli's tears, which she had held back until now, finally couldn't help but stream down, and she weakly curled her body into a ball.

Boom!

However, just as Nangong Xueli's eyes were dim with despair.

Outside the Immortal Cave, a thunderous sonic boom suddenly echoed, rumbling from far to near at a speed so fast it was blurry.

As the urgent sonic boom resounded, Nangong Xueli's misty eyes, filled with confusion, lifted and looked towards the Immortal Cave entrance.

Then she saw a familiar figure, so familiar it couldn't be more so, appear at the Immortal Cave entrance.

"Lin Yang Gege?!"
