283: Remove the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes
"Ten Thousand Snake Cave?"
The Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Holy King nodded slightly. Even though she had been guarding the distant Northern Region for many years, she had still heard of the reputation of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave.
For many Righteous Path Cultivators, being captured by the Hehuan Sacred Sect and thrown into the Ten Thousand Snake Cave was the most terrifying punishment.
"This cave has devoured the lives of many of our Righteous Path Immortals; it ought to be eradicated!"
Ning Shengluan's beautiful eyes burned like torches as she looked into the depths of the mountain range.
Her figure dissipated like ripples in water, traversing a thousand miles of space and time to appear directly in front of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave.
The three Heavenly Kings followed closely behind.
Heavenly King Chi Guo felt the seven-colored poisonous mist drifting in the air, and a look of shock appeared on her Face: "What a terrifying poisonous mist! This Emperor's protective Heavenly Origin cannot even withstand its corrosion!"
Heavenly King Zeng Zhang also asked: "I just don't know which is more powerful, this poisonous mist or your Demon Sealing Mist, Holy King?"
Ning Shengluan's expression was calm as she said indifferently: "Although the poisonous mist here is powerful, it can at most only trap an Immortal King; it is unrealistic for it to wear down an Immortal Emperor. My Demon Sealing Mist, however, is something that even an Emperor-level being would find troublesome, so it is naturally more powerful."
"However, the toxicity in this mist is truly the most potent I have ever seen in my life. In terms of toxicity alone, there should be nothing in the Immortal Realm that surpasses it. It is just a pity that this mist is too scattered. If it could be condensed, its power would definitely be comparable to a High Grade Divine Ability!"
Duowen Heavenly King shook her head and interjected: "Wanting to control this mist is completely impossible. You must know that this is the toxin that has been sealed in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave for hundreds of millions of years. Even if that Poison Emperor were called over, she would not be able to withstand it."
Heavenly King Chi Guo stepped forward and said: "There is no use talking more; let's destroy it now!"
Endless divine light surged from her palm, and she struck fiercely at the seven-colored membrane covering the entrance of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave.
This layer of seven-colored membrane was extremely tough; it only rippled violently, but it managed to withstand the full-force strike of an Immortal Emperor.
"Aunt Chi Guo, step back and let me handle it!"
Ning Shengluan spoke up.
She slowly extended a finger, her fingertip wreathed in mysterious Chaos Qi, with the will of creation and destruction cycling endlessly upon it.
"Pop—"
The seven-colored membrane was like a swollen balloon, easily popped.
Heavenly King Chi Guo's eyes narrowed. She felt that if she had tried to receive that casual finger strike from the woman just now, she would have been severely injured.
Although the Holy King possessed the body of an Immortal King, her comprehension of the Heavenly Dao was already ahead of many Immortal Emperors.
"Hum~"
The fierce poisonous mist gathered inside the cave surged outward like a flood meeting an opened sluice gate.
"All of you, stand back!"
Ning Shengluan threw the Demon Sealing Pagoda into the air once again.
Under the pulling force of the pagoda, the endless poisonous mist was all sucked inside.
The entire process lasted for a full hour.
Only then did the mist drifting out of the cave gradually become normal.
Heavenly King Zeng Zhang raised two balls of holy fire in her palms and said: "Holy King, there are many Spirit Snakes in this cave. Let this Emperor burn them all to death with one fire!"
"Wait a moment, Aunt Zeng Zhang!"
Ning Shengluan spoke to stop her, saying: "The Heavenly Dao has the virtue of cherishing life. These Spirit Snakes were born from the nurturing of creation. Although their existence forged the fierce reputation of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, they were ultimately used by the devils; the fault does not lie with them!"
After speaking, she offered up a bag that shimmered with precious light.
The bag flew into the air and opened, and the dense swarm of Spirit Snakes was all packed into the small bag.
"Take this Universe Bag back to the Heavenly Court to report!"
"Aunt Zeng Zhang, your Dharma pet Spirit Snake was killed by the Huan Ancestor. You can completely choose another one from these Spirit Snakes and continue to raise it!"
Heavenly King Zeng Zhang took the Universe Bag, and there was a clear look of being moved in her eyes: "Holy King, thank you for your trouble!"
The other party was indeed right.
The Spirit Snakes in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave were all born from the creation of heaven and earth and had been nurtured in the poisonous mist within the cave for hundreds of millions of years. Many of them had strong innate talents, not much worse than her previous spirit pet.
"Besides the Spirit Snakes, there seem to be some other things inside the cave!"
Ning Shengluan pointed a finger, and a tyrannical aura pierced into the deepest part of the cave, moving everything inside out.
Most of them were stones emitting seven-colored strange toxins.
There were also dozens of withered remains of the dead. The bones had not decayed after hundreds of millions of years and still emitted a powerful aura, showing that they were at least at the Immortal King level during their lifetimes.
However, what concerned them most was that there were two figures among them that still had lingering signs of life.
The life aura of one of them was already extremely weak.
Most of the flesh and blood on the body had been gnawed away.
She seemed to have sensed the change and struggled to lift her Face, which had been gnawed down to the white bone, emitting a painful wail: "I beg you, kill me, kill me!"
"Devil Head remnant, go to hell!"
Heavenly King Zeng Zhang was violent by nature; she stepped forward and crushed the woman's head and Divine Soul with one foot.
However, not only did the woman feel no resentment, but she was full of gratitude and relief.
"There is another one!"
Heavenly King Zeng Zhang's gaze shifted to the other figure.
This person's condition was much better than the woman she had just killed.
Although his body was covered in wounds and entangled with strange toxins that had penetrated into his flesh, he at least still retained a human form, and his life aura was relatively strong; he had only fallen into a coma due to the severity of his injuries.
"This Devil Head, go to hell as well!"
Heavenly King Zeng Zhang's eyes were overflowing with fierce light.
Her spirit pet, which had accompanied her for millions of years, had died in battle, and she had been looking for a place to vent her anger.
She raised her foot and stepped down towards Su Quan's head.
Just at this moment, Ning Shengluan, who was beside her, suddenly spoke: "Aunt Zeng Zhang, wait!"
While speaking, she casually waved a streak of rosy light, blocking this kick for Su Quan.
Heavenly King Zeng Zhang looked over with some confusion.
Ning Shengluan explained: "He is in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, but he is not necessarily a remnant of the Devil Sect; it is also possible that he is a Righteous Path Immortal who was captured by them!"
"Moreover, I do not sense any aura of sin clinging to this person. He should not be a bloodthirsty person, so let's spare his life for now!"
Seeing this.
Heavenly King Zeng Zhang revealed a strange expression, because she clearly sensed the aura of a Hehuan Cultivation Technique on Su Quan.
But she still gave Face and stood to the side: "Since the Holy King has spoken, I will spare his life!"
"However, he is now riddled with toxins in his bones, and his Divine Soul has been eroded. Even if I don't kill him, I'm afraid he won't live long!"
Ning Shengluan's expression was indifferent. She looked at Su Quan's curled up, blood-matted body without the slightest emotional fluctuation, and just said: "Whether he can live or not depends entirely on his own good fortune!"
"Alright, now that this matter is settled, I will be returning first!"
Ning Shengluan struck a ray of divine light into Su Quan's body and threw his body into her Heavenly Dao treasure, the Lotus Platform. The majestic cyan color of creation instantly submerged him.
Immediately, the woman sat cross-legged on the lotus platform, and her figure, like a trace of residual ink, slowly dissipated in this world.
Heavenly King Zeng Zhang retracted her gaze with some envy.
"To be able to soak in the Holy King's Chaos Creation Lotus Platform, that Devil Head is quite lucky!"
"I can only say that the Holy King is still too kind-hearted. Although that person's aura of slaughter is indeed not heavy, a devil... is a devil after all!"
"Alright, do not discuss the Holy King's affairs behind her back. Let us also prepare to return to the Heavenly Court to report. Heavenly King Guang Mu is still waiting to reshape his Physical Body!"
"As you command!"
