401: How is this different from giving the other party a backdoor to cheat?

On the other side.

Inside that ancient tomb dwelling, as space distorted and shifted.

Cai Yan and Cai Die, along with Mu Yan and Ni Lin, all appeared inside the dwelling.

Looking around.

This was an enormous underground cavern, with twelve stone pillars inscribed with mysterious runes, supporting the cavern like pillars reaching the sky.

And on top of these twelve giant stone pillars, a giant python, a thousand zhang in size, was coiled, its scales shimmering with nine colors all over its body.

This was indeed a Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python!

However, the section of this Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python where its heart was located was pierced by a giant, heavily rusted sword, and its physical body showed no signs of life.

Clearly.

This Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python had been pierced through the heart by a sword.

Even if it had managed to escape back to this ancient tomb dwelling afterwards, it ultimately perished due to its severe injuries.

And this Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python was none other than the previous Empress of the Devouring Heaven Python Clan, Ling Yao!

A terrifying existence whose cultivation had once reached the Emperor Lord Ninth Level.

"Is this the interior of the dwelling?"

Looking at the twelve stone pillars before them, and that Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, Cai Yan and Cai Die's eyes narrowed.

This Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python before them, even though it had perished thousands of years ago.

The pressure emanating from its body still made people feel a sense of dread.

"What terrifying bloodline pressure!"

"Although this physical body is dead, the essence of its bloodline is sealed with a formation!"

"If descendants of the Devouring Heaven Python Clan obtain it, it will be enough to cause a transformation in both their bloodline and cultivation!"

Compared to the exclamations of Cai Yan and Cai Die, after entering the dwelling, Mu Yan and Ni Lin.

Their gazes were locked onto this Sky-Devouring Python, their eyes filled with excitement and greed.

If they could obtain this sealed bloodline essence, it would be no less than receiving a portion of Ling Yao Female Emperor's cultivation as an empowerment!

"We were directly teleported to the core area of the dwelling without any trials?"

As greed arose in the hearts of Mu Yan and Ni Lin, Cai Yan's gaze swept around, her expression becoming extremely solemn.

Generally, when powerful individuals perish and leave behind their legacies in a dwelling, they set up some trials.

Even if someone with destiny enters, they must pass through various trials to enter the core of the dwelling.

But now.

After they entered the dwelling, the four of them were directly teleported to the core area.

This made Cai Yan feel somewhat strange and uneasy.

Buzz!!

As Cai Yan's thoughts fell, the stone pillars inside the dwelling suddenly vibrated, a movement that caused the expressions of the few people to change.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that the Empress's remnant soul is about to awaken and is preparing to choose the next successor?"

Seeing this kind of movement before them, Mu Yan and Ni Lin were a little excited and began to speculate.

"Four descendants with Emperor-grade Devouring Heaven Python bloodline have actually entered..."

As the twelve stone pillars vibrated, an indifferent voice suddenly resounded.

Only that Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, which had originally perished.

At this moment, it suddenly opened its tightly closed eyelids, revealing a pair of grayish-white and hollow eyes, its gaze falling faintly on the few people.

"All of you are very good..."

"But within the Canglan World, it's the survival of the fittest, the strong prey on the weak!"

"Only the most outstanding person can obtain Emperor's legacy!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing these words, the expressions of the few people changed.

Didn't this mean they had to fight each other to the death?!

As the former Empress of the Devouring Heaven Python Clan, she actually wanted four bloodline descendants to kill each other!

Was this trial designed a little too unreasonable?!

"You only have half an hour!"

"You cannot open your narings within the dwelling; you can only rely on your own strength."

"If there are more than two people still alive in the dwelling within half an hour, all of you will be obliterated by Emperor!"

As Cai Yan and the others were shocked, that voice resounded again.

Making the expressions of Cai Yan and the others become extremely gloomy.

Is this looking for a successor?

Or raising Gu worms?!

For a moment.

Whether it was Cai Yan and Cai Die, or Mu Yan and Ni Lin, they all realized that this dwelling was actually a trap.

It was very likely built by this Empress to achieve some purpose.

And this purpose...

Should be to resurrect herself, or to be reborn by possessing a body!

"Ni Lin, let's first join forces to kill these two women, and then the two of us will have a life-and-death battle."

"Although they also have the Devouring Heaven Python bloodline, they are not with us after all!"

After various thoughts flashed through his mind, Mu Yan was the first to speak to Ni Lin.

Regardless of what the ultimate goal of this former Empress was.

It was never wrong to try to kill others as much as possible first!

"Your suggestion is very good, let's attack together then."

Ni Lin's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this, and she responded with an indifferent voice.

Although she was worried that Mu Yan would stab her in the back, a four-person free-for-all still offered more hope of survival than a two-on-two.

As her thoughts fell.

Mu Yan and Ni Lin both erupted with their cultivation at the same time, and the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python bloodline within their bodies instantly boiled.

Accompanied by the sound of roaring.

The phantoms of Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Pythons appeared behind both of them, and in the next moment, under the sweep of nine-colored flames, they charged towards Cai Yan and Cai Die to suppress and kill them.

"Full defense!!"

Seeing the two attack without hesitation, Cai Yan's pupils suddenly constricted, and she subconsciously blocked in front of Cai Die.

Her cultivation at the Saint King Fourth Level erupted to its maximum.

It seemed she intended to block the divine ability attacks of these two people with her own strength.

"Duanmu Xueying?!"

Cai Die's expression changed upon seeing this, but she showed no fear.

As her cultivation erupted, she also rushed forward, standing side by side with this Duanmu Xueying.

In the shimmering nine-colored light.

The phantoms of two ferocious Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Pythons also appeared behind Cai Yan and Cai Die.

Then, grand divine abilities were also unleashed, but their power was much weaker than that of Mu Yan and Ni Lin.

"Two mongrels who appeared from who knows where, actually dare to resist us, the orthodox bloodline?"

Looking at the divine abilities of Cai Yan and Cai Die, a sinister smile appeared on Mu Yan's face.

They also had the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python bloodline, and their cultivation was even stronger than the opponents'.

When they couldn't open their storage narings and use external items, killing these two was simply too easy!

"You prepare to finish them off!"

Just as the few people were all unleashing their divine abilities, Xiao Chen's voice suddenly resounded in the minds of Cai Yan and Cai Die.

Immediately after.

Cai Yan felt that.

Xiao Chen's soul body and true spirit had descended into her sea of consciousness, but the other party did not contend for control of her body.

He just said these words to them.

And at the same time as the voice sounded, the void between the two of them was torn apart like paper at this moment.

Accompanied by the sound of a dragon's roar.

A phantom of a chaotic ancestor dragon burning with the power of thunder and fire also roared out from this spatial rift.

Together with the divine abilities unleashed by Cai Yan and Cai Die, it slammed into the attacks of Mu Yan and Ni Lin.

Amidst the resounding roars.

The divine abilities of Mu Yan and Ni Lin were instantly blasted apart, and the two were sent flying out in the impact of the storm.

They even spat out large mouthfuls of fresh blood, their faces showing expressions of disbelief.

"What's going on?!!"

Seeing the Chaotic World-Purifying Thunder Fire pouring down, Mu Yan roared with a somewhat distorted expression.

This Ling Yao Female Emperor just now.

Didn't she say that you couldn't open your narings in this dwelling, couldn't use any external means, and could only fight with your own strength?

But why could these two women tear space?

Summoning such a terrifying thunder-fire giant dragon, what's the difference between this and opening a back door for the other party to cheat?!
