A colossal, perilous peak, resembling a monstrous celestial serpent, coiled beside the main road. From within the mountain, waves of black energy continuously seeped out, shrouding the sky for hundreds of meters around. No beast dared to set foot in this area, for it was the territory of the ancient Heavenly Demon Serpent! The ancient Heavenly Demon Serpent is an exceedingly rare and variant ferocious beast, with a bloodline close to that of some ancient ancestors among the snake tribe. However, due to its excessive murderous nature, its intelligence pales compared to species like the Netherworld Earth Demon Serpents. Thus, the latter tends to look down on the former; after all, regardless of strength, without wisdom, it’s merely a powerful machine of slaughter.
The blood of the ancient Heavenly Demon Serpent has excellent cleansing and strengthening effects on the body. Of course, Xiao Yan’s body, having been refined through countless treasures and ordeals, is already extraordinarily strong. For further enhancement, ordinary treasures are no longer of great use. Even the blood of the Heavenly Demon Serpent would not have a significant effect. Yet, Xiao Yan was well aware of this; he was not after the ancient Heavenly Demon Serpent itself, but rather the pool of demonic blood accumulated over centuries!
Within this pool, the ancient Heavenly Demon Serpent had meticulously collected numerous pure-energy-infused treasures for centuries, concentrating energies that were now at an immensely terrifying level. A common person entering it would likely be ruptured by the sheer force. Only the offspring of the ancient Heavenly Demon Serpent could withstand such potent energy. But there are no absolutes; what others cannot endure, Xiao Yan just might. His body, tempered and strengthened, is now as formidable as some fierce beasts. Therefore, the demonic blood pool would be the perfect elixir for him. Perhaps, not only could he bring his Vajra Clear Body to its zenith, but he might also break through to the Ninth Star Dou Zun realm, thereby gaining a significant boost in power—something highly beneficial in the perilous wilds of the primordial domain.
“Here is where the ancient Heavenly Demon Serpent is,” Yun Yun whispered, not far from the black mist-shrouded peak.
Xiao Yan nodded fervently, then stated, “Let’s go! Prepare for action!”
His words barely left his mouth when his figure transformed into a shadow, swiftly dashing towards the black peak. Behind him, Cai Lin, Qing Lin, and Little Healer Immortal followed quickly, while the Flower Sect members, after a moment’s hesitation, followed Yun Yun.
Xiao Yan and his companions suppressed their aura to the bare minimum, rushing into the black mist enveloping the peak. As they entered, a piercing serpentine scream echoed from the peak, causing the entire mountain to tremble. A whistling sound followed, and a massive black serpent tail, over a hundred feet long, shot out with terrifying force, aimed directly at Xiao Yan’s group.
“Hmph.”
Seeing the acute senses of the ancient Heavenly Demon Serpent, Xiao Yan snorted coldly. His feet stepped forward rapidly, and a dazzling golden light surged from his body. In an instant, his lean figure swelled to about seven feet, resembling a small, resplendent giant.
With his Vajra Clear Body activated, Xiao Yan’s golden hand hammered out, and his fists crashed directly into the enormous black tail.
*Boom.*
The clash unleashed a chaotic storm of force. Fortunately, everyone present was no pushover, so no harm was done.
As the storm erupted, Xiao Yan, in his golden giant form, retreated two steps. However, the massive black tail was also pushed back, with some of its scales even cracking. With his Vajra Clear Body, Xiao Yan’s physical strength had reached a terrifying level.
*Roooaaaar.*
Roaring in fury, the voice of the serpent echoed through the mountain. Filled with rage, the entire peak shook, and finally, with a thunderous boom, a vast, hundreds-of-feet-long black serpent burst forth!
This black serpent, immense and covered in black scales, had a terrifying head more akin to a menacing human face, giving one chills. No wonder it is called the Heavenly Demon Serpent.
As it appeared, dark clouds gathered, and frightening black energy condensed, exuding immense might. Its blood-red eyes, as large as lanterns, glared at Xiao Yan and his companions with malevolence and killing intent.
Seeing the behemoth dominating the sky and feeling its overwhelming aura, all present grew somber. This was indeed no ordinary beast…
“Attack!” Xiao Yan, eyeing the beast, shouted. This creature was at least at the peak of the Fifth Stage Dou Zun. If not for the Buddha’s Fury Lotus, they would need to act together.
“Hmm.” At Xiao Yan’s shout, Cai Lin nodded. She leapt up, transforming into a Rainbow Swallowing Sky Serpent as large as the Heavenly Demon Serpent, emitting a mighty, invisible pressure that momentarily halted the demon’s ferocity. After all, her bloodline was purer, challenging ancient celestial snakes in the past.
Yet, the Heavenly Demon Serpent was fiercely violent. Despite feeling the pressure, its killer intent remained undiminished. In its view, even if the ancient celestial snake were here, it would dare to strike.
*Caaamm.* In the sky, clouds churned, and Cai Lin summoned giant colored thunderbolts, unleashing them against the Heavenly Demon Serpent.
*Pssshh.* Facing Cai Lin’s attack, the Heavenly Demon Serpent opened its grotesque maw, spewing vile black beams. It intercepted the colored lightning, proving its superiority despite its inferior bloodline.
*Xoom.* As the Heavenly Demon Serpent launched its attack, Xiao Yan’s golden giant dashed forward, slamming his massive fist, creating a terrible gust of air that pounded into the demon’s body.
*Aaarrrhhh!* Xiao Yan’s relentless punch dissipated the black mist and even cracked the scales. As Xiao Yan acted, Elder Qingcheng, Yun Yun, and Little Healer Immortal also unleashed powerful attacks, hammering the demon, making it feel the strain.
*Sssssh.* The Heavenly Demon Serpent, enraged, swung its enormous tail, hitting Xiao Yan who dealt the most damage.
*Clang!* The colossal tail slammed Xiao Yan’s body, sparking a metallic clang with flying sparks.
*Hngh.* Straining under the blow, Xiao Yan held the tail, pouring purple-brown flames into it, quickly roasting away the black mist.
*Siiss.* The sudden, extreme heat drove the demon mad, its writhing destroying anything it touched, turning nearby peaks into rubble.
“This beast is hard to handle,” they thought, feeling grateful for Xiao Yan and Cai Lin’s suppression. Otherwise, few could withstand its might.
Xiao Yan clung to the demon, his fists pounding its tail, blood flowing from the impact. Though pained, the demon’s rage only intensified.
“Young Master Xiao Yan, make it look at me!” As Xiao Yan felt overwhelmed, a voice, belonging to Qing Lin, revived his spirit.
*Innh.* Xiao Yan took a deep breath, channeling all his energy into his arms, and forcefully twisted the demon’s body. Enraged, the demon locked onto the sudden, green, flower-like eye, spinning with a hypnotic, numbing effect from its soul, causing its body to soften, its blood-red eyes losing their murderous intent…
