A pair of eerie, emerald green eyes the size of half a zhang were imprinted in the enormous pupils of the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python. The three spinning emerald flowers exuded a strange demonic energy that gradually reduced the slaughter and brutality in the python’s eyes… Seeing this, Xiao Yan quietly heaved a sigh of relief. Qing Lin’s Three Flowered Emerald Serpent Eye had a powerful control over serpentine-type magical beasts. But it was unclear if she, with her current strength, could control this Ancient Heavenly Demon Python. After all, the latter possessed the strength of a peak five-turn Dou Zun.
“Hisss…”
Just as Xiao Yan thought this, the originally weakening killing intent in the eyes of the Heavenly Demon Python suddenly trembled. A struggle flashed across its eyes, and a terrifying black fog continuously poured out from its body. It seemed to have sensed Qing Lin’s intention, and immediately began to fiercely resist. Even the most intelligent ferocious beast could not be easily subdued at this level.
“This beast is indeed difficult to deal with…” Seeing that the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python could still resist the Three Flowered Emerald Serpent Eye with its own power, Xiao Yan was startled. He then slammed his fist out, sending a surge of strange fire that quickly wrapped around the python’s body, evaporating the black fog.
“Subdue it…”
Xiao Yan bellowed as he struck. Cai Lin, in her form of the Colorful Devouring Heavenly Snake, coiled up in the sky. An intangible and tremendous pressure surged out, fully pouring onto the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python. The pressure from the depths of the soul instantly forced the black fog back into its body. Meanwhile, Little Healer Immortal, Yun Yun, and the Elder from Cyan City also sent large beams of Dou Qi, resembling ropes, binding the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python.
Facing such a multi-layered suppression, even though the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python was immensely strong, it was temporarily rendered helpless. Its savage mouth could only emit endless angry roars, shaking the mountain range with fear.
“Qing Lin, hurry.”
Feeling the frenzied struggles of the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python, Xiao Yan shouted.
“Mmm.”
Qing Lin nodded slightly, then took a deep breath. Her hands, like blooming lotuses, quickly formed intricate and profound seals. As her hand seals completed, a very low and deep growl echoed from within her body!
When this roar, filled with ancient authority, sounded, the space behind Qing Lin twisted, forming a massive serpentine shadow over a thousand feet long. This shadow exuded an extremely ancient aura, and it bore nine identical snake heads—the Nine-Headed Celestial Snake that Xiao Yan had seen before!
Upon the appearance of the Nine-Headed Celestial Snake’s shadow, the frantically struggling Ancient Heavenly Demon Python’s body trembled. In its giant pupils, a trace of deep fear finally appeared. Facing the pressure of the two ancient serpentine bloodlines, even a brutally fierce creature like the Heavenly Demon Python felt a quiver…
“Three Flowered Emerald Serpent Eye, open…”
Summoning the spirit of the Nine-Headed Celestial Snake, its overwhelming presence suppressed the Heavenly Demon Python completely. In Qing Lin’s eyes, the three emerald green flowers violently trembled, and then gradually opened. In the center of the flowers, a deeply chilling, emerald green, demonic pupil slowly awoke…
The moment this eye within the eye opened, the space in front of Qing Lin crumbled, and the enormous body of the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python immediately froze.
“Stay back!”
Xiao Yan focused on the eerie eye within the eye, and his mind momentarily dazed. Fearing for his safety, he quickly released the python and rapidly retreated, warning the others at the same time.
Seeing Xiao Yan’s reaction, the others realized that Qing Lin’s demonic eye seemed to target friend and foe alike. They quickly dispersed, avoiding getting too close.
“Qing Lin’s Three Flowered Emerald Serpent Eye is truly terrifying. If I weren’t a human, I might have been like that Heavenly Demon Python…”
Xiao Yan retreated far away. Now, Qing Lin had already begun to control the power of the Nine-Headed Celestial Snake. If she could fully summon it in the future, it would be a force to be reckoned with. After all, the ancient celestial serpent was a being comparable to the Void Primordial Dragon and the Ancient Phoenix.
The eerie eye within the eye slowly rotated, and a thumb-sized emerald green light shot out, striking the head of the stiffened Heavenly Demon Python. Instantly, a palm-sized green flower appeared.
As this green flower appeared, the brutality and savagery in the eyes of the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python vanished, replaced by a docile emptiness…
“Success?”
Seeing the motionless Ancient Heavenly Demon Python in the sky, a hint of joy flashed in Xiao Yan’s eyes. If Qing Lin could truly control this behemoth, their strength would surge, especially with the fighting power of a peak five-turn Dou Zun, even in the desolate lands, it would be a formidable force.
“Sigh…”
As the flower formed, Qing Lin slowly closed her eyes. The massive Nine-Headed Celestial Snake shadow behind her dissipated, and the ancient, pervasive pressure subtly faded.
“Whoosh…”
The enormous, colorful Devouring Heavenly Snake in the sky transformed back into a lithe figure, glancing oddly at Qing Lin. The Nine-Headed Celestial Snake she had summoned earlier even made her somewhat uneasy. Such a monstrous existence could probably only be countered by the legendary Nine-Color Devouring Heavenly Snake.
“Under control…”
Xiao Yan’s body, surrounded by golden light, transformed back to its original form, appearing beside Qing Lin.
“Mm. Fortunately, it consumed a lot of its power earlier, and Sister Cai Lin provided spiritual suppression. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have tamed it,” Qing Lin smiled.
“That’s good… Let’s find the Devil Blood Pool quickly…”
Xiao Yan heaved a sigh of relief, then turned his gaze to the massive, black fog-enveloped mountain. His eyes shimmered with faint eagerness. With a swift movement, he dashed towards the mountain, followed closely by Cai Lin, Little Healer Immortal, and the others.
The mountain was perilous and massive, but there were no other ferocious beasts, clearly driven away by the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python, which saved them some trouble. Following the faint energy fluctuations within the mountain, they soon found the python’s lair.
The lair of the Heavenly Demon Python was in the heart of the mountain, cold and damp, littered with heaps of bones, including some human remains. It was unclear which unfortunate souls became the python’s food.
Frowning, the group passed through the piles of bones, finally stopping at the end of the cave. At the end, there was a blood-red, chaotic stone ground. In the center, a pool about ten zhang wide brimmed with crimson blood, occasionally bubbling with concentrated energy surging out. Bones of various beasts floated on the blood.
“This is the Devil Blood Pool…”
Seeing the blood-red pool, Little Healer Immortal inquired.
“Yes, it should be this thing…”
Xiao Yan nodded. He could sense the intense energy within the pool. This Ancient Heavenly Demon Python must have spent considerable effort to build this. Pity, it was all for him now.
“I will need to stay here for a few days. During this time, Qing Lin, keep the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python under control and guard here. Even if other strong beings come, they won’t dare to provoke it.”
Qing Lin nodded.
“Anything to worry about?” Cai Lin looked at the crimson pool, frowning.
“Haha, don’t worry. The energy inside is intense, but manageable…” Xiao Yan laughed, shaking his head.
“Alright then, be careful. If anything happens, notify us.”
Cai Lin, seeing Xiao Yan’s determination, did not say more and instructed before leading the group out.
Seeing the group leave, Xiao Yan smiled and turned back, looking seriously at the blood pool. The energy inside was much wilder and denser than he expected, and he wondered what the Heavenly Demon Python had thrown in.
“My body is naturally strong, and I have the Ancient Dragon Phoenix Armor hidden within. I refuse to believe I can’t handle this Devil Blood Pool…”
After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Yan sneered, leaped onto the blood pool, and plopped into it.
“Brrr…”
With Xiao Yan diving in, the previously calm Devil Blood Pool boiled. Countless bubbles rose, and the turbulent energy roared within, accompanied by a low, thunder-like sound spreading far and wide.
