A massive, nine-colored pillar of light pierced the sky, its resplendent glow adding a vibrant tapestry to the world. “What is this…?” The sudden change also left many people in shock and bewilderment, clearly not understanding where the nine-colored pillar of light came from. “This kind of pressure…” The elders of the Nine Serpents of Hell, including Yao Ming, looked at the pillar with expressions of suspicion and surprise. From within that pillar, they felt a pressure emanating from their blood and souls…
*Bang!*
Under the countless shocked gazes, the enormous body of Huantian, the Demon Phoenix, was unable to pull back in time and smashed directly into the pillar. A deafening roar echoed through the skies, and the entire ground trembled from the force of the impact.
*Creak, creak…*
After the powerful collision, the nine-colored pillar, as if made of solid substance, cracked open, forming numerous large fissures. Then, the surface of the pillar exploded, and a massive nine-colored serpent’s tail, nearly a thousand feet long, shot out from the pillar. With a swift flick, it tightly entwined around Huantian’s body. As the pillar shattered, a nine-colored giant serpent, even larger than Huantian, appeared in the sights of countless onlookers with a powerful presence.
“Hisss…”
The sight of the gigantic nine-colored serpent, spanning the heavens and earth, provoked a series of gasps and exclamations. Stunned awe filled the eyes of many.
“This is… a seven-colored Heaven-Swallowing Serpent!”
The elders of the Nine Serpents of Hell, staring in disbelief at the magnificent serpent, noted that its body was entirely nine-colored, with scales the size of human bodies shimmering with iridescence, covering its massive form. As the serpent slowly writhed, it emanated a sense of immense power, strong enough to shatter mountains, leaving an indelible mark on everyone’s hearts.
“It’s not a seven-colored Heaven-Swallowing Serpent, but a legendary nine-colored Heaven-Swallowing Serpent…” Yao Ming’s heart was like a stormy sea; the nine-colored Heaven-Swallowing Serpent was a divine beast that existed only in ancient legends. In some ways, it was even more formidable than the progenitor of serpentine magical beasts, the ancient Sky Serpent, though its rarity meant that the fame of the seven-colored Heaven-Swallowing Serpent paled in comparison. But as the leader of the Nine Serpents of Hell, Yao Ming knew the prowess of the nine-colored Heaven-Swallowing Serpent all too well. Even in ancient times, the nine-colored Heaven-Swallowing Serpent had made very few appearances, and each one had caused a significant stir among the serpentine community. Yao Ming had never imagined that he would see such a mythic creature with his own eyes.
The current Nine Serpents of Hell were considered the most closely related to the ancient Sky Serpent, but compared to the nine-colored Heaven-Swallowing Serpent, their pride was insignificant. The nine-colored Heaven-Swallowing Serpent’s bloodline was even stronger than that of the ancient Sky Serpent, and the overwhelming pressure they felt was proof of this.
“So, Caillin actually possesses such a status.” No wonder Xuan Yan wanted her to train in the Netherworld Abyss. Yao Ming finally understood why Xuan Yan had chosen for Caillin to train in a place where even he couldn’t stay for long.
“A nine-colored Heaven-Swallowing Serpent? Impossible! How can there be a nine-colored Heaven-Swallowing Serpent on the continent!” Restrained by the serpent’s tail, Huantian gazed incredulously at the nine-colored serpent before him, whose ice-cold eyes fixed on him, and roared in disbelief.
The giant serpent before him was a being that could rival the Celestial Phoenix, yet it was still here in the world. In response to Huantian’s incredulous bellow, the nine-colored serpent’s eyes remained cold, and its tail, which was coiled around Huantian’s body, began to tighten, its terrifying constriction force snapping Huantian’s iron-like feathers and causing a strange grinding sound to emit from his bones. Even the space around them started to distort under the pressure.
“Damn it!” Feeling the intense pressure, a look of shock and anger flashed across Huantian’s eyes. He let out a sharp cry, and a blinding golden light erupted from his body. Under the influence of the golden light, his feathers stood up, like sharp blades, hacking frantically at the nine-colored serpent’s body. The sky resonated with ringing sounds, and sparks rained down like a fiery drizzle.
“Hiss…”
In the face of Huantian’s fierce counterattack, the nine-colored serpent’s eyes grew icy. Its head swiveled, and dozens of seven-colored scales suddenly fell off, transforming into dozens of enormous seven-colored Heaven-Swallowing Serpents. They intertwined their tails, forming a net, and surrounded Huantian. Finally, they raised their heads and emitted a synchronized roar, causing the serpent net to shrink at an alarming speed!
*Bang, bang, bang!*
The serpent net’s rapid contraction formed an unimaginable constricting force within it, collapsing the surrounding space instantly. At the center of the overwhelming pressure, even Huantian, with his strength, felt a chill down his spine. If he got hit, he would likely sustain serious injuries. Deciding to retreat, he shook his vast body, forcibly loosening the nine-colored serpent’s grip. Then, a surge of golden light enveloped him, and his massive form rapidly shrank, transforming into a human figure in the eyes of the onlookers.
Once again in human form, Huantian flapped his wings, and a gust of wind surged. His figure tore through the fabric of space, rushing towards the edge of the serpent net.
*Bam!*
Just as Huantian was about to escape, a massive shadow descended, and a colorful tail lashed out, striking his body. The terrifying force of the impact created a crater over a thousand feet wide on the ground below.
Hurtling like a projectile, Huantian spat out a mouthful of blood, and the monstrous force nearly jolted his internal organs. His body plummeted, crashing through a mountain peak and skidding across the ground, leaving a deep trench, before finally coming to a stop.
As the entire sky witnessed the trench extending to the horizon, many gulped and turned their fearful gaze to the nine-colored serpent. Such power was even beyond most Dou Shengs, who would be turned to mist by a mere tail-slap.
*Gulp…*
Even the mighty Sky Demon Phoenix Elders were frozen in place, their faces blank and expressionless. Under the immense pressure, no one dared to move to rescue Huantian.
As the world fell silent, the massive nine-colored serpent slowly coiled its body, its radiant and colorful aura bursting forth. Then, its colossal form began to shrink, and before the astonished onlookers, it transformed into a beautiful, curvaceous silhouette.
The glowing aura in the sky dissipated, and the enchanting figure emerged. Cold and mesmerizing, the beauty of the first glance at her face quickened the hearts of many. Her beauty was unparalleled.
The enchanting beauty raised her hand, and the dozen or so seven-colored Heaven-Swallowing Serpents flew down, merging into her body as beams of light.
“Those are the soul forms of the seven-colored Heaven-Swallowing Serpents?”
When she absorbed the seven-colored Heaven-Swallowing Serpents, Yao Ming and the others were shocked to realize that they were not mere energy entities, but true soul forms of the Heaven-Swallowing Serpents—dozens of them. The thought made even Yao Ming dizzy, and the elders’ minds froze, bewildered. How could so many of these rare serpents appear at once?
Ignoring their astonishment, the enchanting beauty scanned the surroundings with a lazy and icy gaze, like a queen inspecting her subjects, cold and regal. Yet, anyone who met her languid, chilly eyes felt their hearts race. Some, with weaker wills, flushed and their Dou Qi became chaotic.
Her eyes scanned the crowd briefly before shifting away. She tilted her head slightly, looking behind her, where a black-clad youth hovered. His face bore a gentle smile, and his eyes were brimming with joy. When her gaze landed on the young man, a slight curve graced her sultry face, like a blooming peony, captivating and breathtakingly beautiful.
