295: It's just a fatal injury!

Tianwu World!

“Hiss—Roar—!”

The Nether Python struggled out from the black aurora sky, its ten-thousand-foot snake body twisting and writhing, scales cracking, and flesh charred black.

A large amount of purple flames, like gangrene, wrapped around its massive body, fiercely burning every inch of its flesh.

Even more terrifying, within that purple sea of fire, there were wisps of black-gold flames.

These black-gold flames, like living things, drilled into its body, burning its muscles and bones, and eroding its Yao Lord Dharma Idol.

At this moment, the Nether Python was utterly miserable!

Its originally dark and profound scales had already been burned to a charcoal black, and its snake body was covered in hideous cracks.

Black-gold flames seeped out from deep within the wounds, like countless tiny venomous snakes, gnawing away at its vitality.

“Damn it… what kind of flames are these?!”

The Nether Python frantically activated the power of the Water Heaven and Earth Laws within its body, attempting to extinguish the flames on its body.

However, those black-gold flames could actually ignore its Law power.

No matter how the vast Heaven and Earth Law power within the Nether Python surged, the black-gold flames stubbornly continued to burn, only being suppressed by a fraction in the end.

If this continued, even if the Nether Python wasn’t burned to death, it would suffer in endless torment from the scorching!

“If an ordinary human Martial Artist were to be tainted by this fire… I’m afraid they would instantly turn to ash!”

The Nether Python hissed, and a hint of fear finally appeared in its two azure snake pupils.

This damned human brat, this Monarch truly underestimated him.

“Hmph!”

“Useless!”

An extremely cold voice suddenly exploded within the Nether Python’s Yao Lord Dharma Idol, making its ten-thousand-foot snake body instantly stiffen!

But, before it could react…

“Boom!!”

The boundless Void Realm suddenly split open, and a brilliant river of purple-gold flames descended from beneath the sky.

Like the Nine Heavens’ Milky Way pouring down, it instantly completely engulfed the Nether Python’s ten-thousand-foot body!

These purple-gold flames were noble and sacred, and the flickering flames actually contained infinite vitality, completely different from the world-destroying black-gold flames.

The moment these two met, the black-gold flames were instantly annihilated, as if fresh snow had met the scorching sun, disappearing completely!

“This, this is!”

“Golden Feather Sacred Flame!”

“It’s Old Ancestor Yu Huang!”

The Nether Python looked at its restored body in shock, its snake pupils filled with worship and excitement.

Between the sea and the sky, a figure stood quietly in mid-air, looking down at the Nether Python below!

“This Ancestor has Cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, and I have never seen a mere human possess such astonishing flames!”

“Whoosh—”

The figure looking down at the Nether Python was a majestic being with a bird’s head and a human body, covered entirely in purple-red burning fire feathers, holding a staff that was entirely verdant green.

On the staff, three purple-red fire feathers shone brightly, each seemingly containing the terrifying power to burn the sky and boil the sea!

It was truly the majestic image of a fire god descending upon the world.

And it was precisely one of the Ten Great Demon Ancestors of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain in the Tianwu World, Old Ancestor Yu Huang!

A peerless mighty figure of the Earth Venerable Realm!

It was Old Ancestor Yu Huang who, just now, used its Physical Body to forcefully contend with the Heaven and Earth Restriction of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Through the extremely powerful Heaven and Earth Restriction, he gave Lu Xuan a “Golden Feather Sacred Flame Divine Light.”

But even for a being as strong as him, the edges of his wings now showed faint charred marks—that was the price paid for forcibly breaking through the Heaven and Earth Restriction!

Originally, a mere Heaven and Earth Restriction of the Great Xia Dynasty, with Old Ancestor Yu Huang’s power, could be shattered with a flick of a finger; he didn’t even put it in his eyes.

However, Old Ancestor Yu Huang had other concerns in his heart; he did not dare to forcibly break this Heaven and Earth Restriction.

The human who set up this Heaven and Earth Restriction back then was truly a Heaven-Defying Genius!

Not only did he use his own Law power, but he also combined the core of this Heaven and Earth Restriction with the Origin of the Small World left behind by that individual.

If someone were to forcibly break this Heaven and Earth Restriction, it would also mean that the Lingxu Land would be destroyed along with it.

At that time, no matter who it was, including Old Ancestor Yu Huang, everything they had done before would be for naught.

The purple-gold Golden Feather Sacred Flame gradually dissipated, and the sea surface returned to calm.

The Nether Python, which had been burned to the brink of death, had now strangely shrunk its body, transforming into a snake-headed human form only a few meters tall.

Its entire body was covered in dark scales, and its vertical pupils flickered with azure light.

The next moment, the Nether Python’s attitude became extremely respectful, and it deeply knelt down towards Old Ancestor Yu Huang above.

“Long You, thanks Old Ancestor Yu Huang for the great kindness of saving my life!”

The Nether Python’s voice was hoarse and low, but it carried an unprecedented reverence.

Old Ancestor Yu Huang, floating in the air, merely glanced at him indifferently, his azure wood divine staff paused slightly, and the Void Realm trembled.

“Where is the thing this Ancestor wants?”

Old Ancestor Yu Huang wasn’t just idly bored; he specifically came to rescue the Nether Python to obtain the item needed to enter the Great Xia Dynasty.

One must know that Old Ancestor Yu Huang managed to leave Ten Thousand Beast Mountain by deceiving the heavens, which took a lot of effort.

Those damned humans of the Starlit Sacred Dynasty had been keeping a close eye on Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

At this moment, Old Ancestor Yu Huang’s eyes flickered with greed and urgency, staring intently at the weakened Nether Python, awaiting his reply.

After the Nether Python felt the extremely oppressive gaze of Old Ancestor Yu Huang, its head immediately lowered, not daring to meet Old Ancestor Yu Huang’s gaze directly.

“If not for Old Ancestor Yu Huang’s personal intervention, Long You would probably have already turned to ash.”

“From now on, Long You is willing to die for Old Ancestor!”

“This is the Origin power of the Lingxu Land, please Old Ancestor Yu Huang take a look.”

In the first two sentences, the Nether Python clearly had its own little scheme.

Old Ancestor Yu Huang didn’t react much, but instead focused his gaze on the area in front of the Nether Python.

Long You lowered his head, and from his snake head’s forehead, a stream of extremely pure white light flowed out.

The white light flowed slowly like water, yet it was also like mist and illusion, carrying an irresistible allure that made one lose themselves in it.

“This is the Origin power of the Lingxu Land, please Old Ancestor Yu Huang take a look.”

Old Ancestor Yu Huang’s eyes, burning with purple-gold flames, stared fixedly at that wisp of white light.

In an instant, the entire space of the sea domain solidified, and even time seemed to have stopped.

“Good!”

“Very good!”

“It really is this power!”

“Long You, you did very well!”

Old Ancestor Yu Huang’s voice, rarely, showed a trace of fluctuation—an indescribable excitement.

He had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and it had been a long time since he had displayed such emotions.

That human mighty figure’s Small World Origin power is now this Ancestor’s!

Hehehe!

Old Ancestor Yu Huang knew very well that the so-called Lingxu Land was not simply left behind by an Earth Venerable Realm Master.

Earth Venerable Realm Master Perfection!

Infinitely close to the existence of an Immortal Realm!

That person was Luoxu, an supreme mighty figure at Earth Venerable Realm Perfection!

With that said, Yu Huang slowly raised his azure wood divine staff, and the three purple-red fire feathers at the tip of the staff simultaneously lit up, actually outlining five purple-red flame chains in the Void Realm.

These five purple-red flame chains were composed of the most fundamental power of Heaven and Earth.

The power of World Laws.

It came from the Small World power within Old Ancestor Yu Huang’s body.

“Om—”

Five purple-red flame chains shot towards that wisp of Lingxu Land Origin power.

In a blink of an eye, that wisp of Lingxu Land Origin power was collected by Old Ancestor Yu Huang into his azure wood divine staff.

“Old Ancestor Yu Huang, Long You has one more extremely important matter to report.”

Long You slightly raised his head, and a difficult-to-grasp light flickered in his azure vertical pupils.

“Old Ancestor Yu Huang, the importance of this matter is in no way inferior to that of the Lingxu Land.”

“Oh?”

Upon hearing this, Old Ancestor Yu Huang’s originally nonchalant expression instantly became solemn.

His eyes stared intently at Long You, and the purple-gold flame light in his eyes flickered even more intensely, as if he wanted to see through the Nether Python.

“Not inferior to the Lingxu Land?”

“Long You, you’d better not play tricks in front of this Ancestor!”

As Old Ancestor Yu Huang spoke.

He was secretly speculating what could be comparable to the Lingxu Land.

If such a thing truly existed, he couldn’t miss it.

“Old Ancestor Yu Huang, do you still remember that human from just now?”

“That human?”

Old Ancestor Yu Huang suddenly recalled the human’s appearance, it was Lu Xuan, who was chasing the Nether Python.

The flames released by this human were extremely extraordinary!

“According to the Martial Dao Realm of those humans, half a year ago, he was just an ant at the same Realm as our Yao Race, the Heavenly Demons!”

“That is what those humans call the Divine Palace Realm!”

… … … …

Deadly silence!

“What!”

The azure wood divine staff in Old Ancestor Yu Huang’s hand trembled slightly, his purple-gold pupils contracted to pinpricks, and the Golden Feather Sacred Flame around his body surged out uncontrollably.

What kind of existence was Old Ancestor Yu Huang? He was a great Yao Beast who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years.

How could he not understand the meaning behind the Nether Python’s words!

Too surprising!

The azure wood divine staff in Old Ancestor Yu Huang’s hand couldn’t help but tremble; he, a dignified great Yao Beast, one of the Ten Great Demon Ancestors, actually lost his composure in public.

“Long You, how dare you, you dare to play tricks on this Ancestor?”

Old Ancestor Yu Huang’s voice was terrifyingly low, and a scorching, unbearable heat wave swept over him.

Clearly.

Old Ancestor Yu Huang was doubting the Nether Python’s words; he suspected whether the Nether Python was trying to scheme against him.

Wanting to use his hand to eliminate the human who had been chasing him just now.

The Nether Python’s scales bristled; he felt Old Ancestor Yu Huang’s almost materialized killing intent, and he quickly prostrated himself, trembling, saying:

“Old Ancestor Yu Huang, how would I dare to deceive you?”

“That human… Lu Xuan, indeed was only at the Divine Palace Realm half a year ago.”

After the Nether Python finished speaking, he couldn’t help but swallow, suppressing the fear in his heart.

Old Ancestor Yu Huang is indeed one of the Ten Great Demon Ancestors.

He did indeed want to use his hand to eliminate that damned human brat.

However, eliminating this human brat was merely a side objective.

That human brat only took half a year to Breakthrough to the Void Realm.

This matter, it’s truly undeniable.

Because, just half a year ago, he obtained the power of the Cave Heaven Master, and coincidentally chased this human brat!

After getting the Nether Python’s assurance!

“Boom—!”

The seabed beneath Old Ancestor Yu Huang’s feet collapsed with a roar, and a ten-thousand-foot abyss instantly formed!

Half a year!

That human who was chasing the Nether Python just now, only took half a year to Breakthrough to the human Void Realm.

From the Divine Palace Realm to the Void Realm!

He even possessed power close to Void Tempering Major Achievement, the power of a Cave Heaven Master.

Who can tell this Ancestor how he managed to do it in just half a year.

This can no longer be described as a “Genius”… This is a complete Heaven-Defying act!

Old Ancestor Yu Huang had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and had witnessed countless astonishingly talented human Martial Artists, but he had never seen such a terrifying Cultivation speed!

Heaven-Defying Treasure?

Reincarnation Immortal?

Or… a Creation Spirit Item?

Several possibilities instantly flashed through Old Ancestor Yu Huang’s mind, but each one shook his heart!

Moreover, that human’s true strength was not just the Void Realm he had just Breakthrough, but he possessed power close to that of a Cave Heaven Master.

When Old Ancestor Yu Huang’s gaze fell on Long You again.

Flames swirled in his purple-gold pupils, and for the first time, a rare trace of “gentleness” appeared.

“Little You.”

Old Ancestor Yu Huang’s voice was no longer cold, but instead carried a hint of approval, and even… a rare sense of intimacy!

The Nether Python trembled all over, its snake pupils contracted violently, almost unable to believe its ears!

“Old Ancestor Yu Huang… actually called me ‘Little You’?”

This was one of the Ten Great Demon Ancestors, a peerless mighty figure who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years!

Normally, even a Yao Lord-level existence was nothing more than an ant in his eyes.

But at this moment, he was so… kind and approachable towards him?

“From today onwards, you, Long You, shall be the Fifth Yao Lord under this Ancestor’s command.”

Old Ancestor Yu Huang slowly spoke, and with a gentle tap of his azure wood divine staff, a purple-gold flame imprint instantly merged into Long You’s glabella.

“Boom!”

Long You’s scales bristled, feeling a vast power surge into his body, and his original Yao Lord Realm aura instantly soared.

The position of Yao Lord under the Demon Ancestor!

This was a position countless Yao Lords in Ten Thousand Beast Mountain dreamed of!

The Nether Python trembled with excitement, immediately prostrating on the ground, his voice becoming fervent.

“Long You… swears to be loyal to Old Ancestor until death!”

Old Ancestor Yu Huang nodded slightly, his figure gradually blurring, finally transforming into a sky full of purple-gold fire feathers, dissipating between Heaven and Earth.

And the Nether Python followed closely behind, its snake body transforming into a sky full of azure starlight, disappearing without a trace!

At the same time, Lu Xuan, who still didn’t know he was being targeted by Old Ancestor Yu Huang, was sitting cross-legged in a mountain cave.

That astonishing gaze from before had almost shattered Lu Xuan’s Physical Body.

Of course, this injury was merely a fatal wound for Lu Xuan!

With the Undying and Unextinguished Martial Dao Cultivation Technique protecting him, even if Lu Xuan was left with only a drop of blood, he could Rebirth on the spot!

“An existence at the Earth Venerable Realm Master Realm…”

“Even through the Heaven and Earth Restriction of the Great Xia Dynasty, it can still possess such terrifying power.”

“It must not be an ordinary Earth Venerable Realm Yao Beast!”
