"How is this possible! You managed to break through my Yellow Spring Finger with just your physical body! This dragon's might... are you some kind of dragon-like magical beast?!"

Seeing the Yellow Spring Finger, which had gathered all his fighting spirit, shatter into countless points of light, and then seeing Xiao Ling's body covered in shimmering dragon scales, and his pair of cyan-purple dragon wings unfurling as he charged straight at him with the force of breaking through the wind, Yao Xiaotian's eyes finally flashed with a bone-chilling panic.

His body swayed rapidly, and an overwhelming, chilling aura surged forth from his body, almost freezing the entire void into ice.

At the same time, his body suddenly swelled, the sound of his bones cracking echoing across the surrounding area, and in an instant, he transformed into a giant black python a thousand feet long. The python's body was covered with mottled dark purple patterns, its scales as sharp as if forged from black iron, and a fierce aura swept across all directions.

"Sealing technique, Huangquan Great Seal!"

Yao Xiaotian, who had transformed into the form of a thousand-foot-long Netherworld Python, suddenly raised his head and let out a roar that pierced through the clouds and shattered rocks.

The moment the roar shook the surrounding area, the black waters of the Netherworld below surged wildly, and a terrifying, chilling power capable of freezing the soul suddenly shot into the sky like a lurking beast.

Under Yao Xiaotian's full control, this chilling power intertwined and merged with the surging battle qi within his body. In just a few breaths, it condensed in mid-air into a massive black seal as majestic and imposing as an ancient divine mountain.

The giant seal's surface was crisscrossed with grooves, and countless obscure and eerie runes darted and flickered like venomous snakes, radiating a chilling pressure that suppressed the eight wastelands.

"Seal it!"

Yao Xiaotian roared angrily, but his roar also revealed an undisguised panic.

He himself couldn't believe that this Yellow Spring Seal could really suppress Xiao Ling.

Putting aside the fact that the opponent's spatial mastery was unpredictable and whether he could be locked onto by this great seal was unknown, the domineering aura emanating from Xiao Ling alone was enough to chill him to the bone, and an indescribable fear was rising up his spine.

However, given the current situation, he didn't have time to think about it anymore. The giant python suddenly swung its thousand-foot-long tail and lashed it hard at the Yellow Spring Seal.

The colossal seal, resembling a divine mountain, immediately tore through the void with a devastating force, hurtling towards Xiao Ling!

As the towering Yellow Spring Seal, as majestic as a mountain, descended with an overwhelming pressure that seemed to devour the heavens and the earth, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that tore through the void, the surrounding space was frozen and cracked inch by inch by the cold runes on the giant seal, and the dark turbulent currents surged endlessly.

Xiao Ling naturally took in his actions, and instead of backing down, a hint of eager anticipation flashed in his deep eyes.

Since gaining fame in Zhongzhou, he has mostly relied on alchemy to make friends or crush opponents with his soul power. It has been a long time since he has used his physical strength so freely.

Although Yao Xiaotian was only a mid-stage one-star Dou Sheng, which was nothing compared to his own strength, he was still a genuine Dou Sheng expert. He could probably enjoy a bit more by going head-to-head with him using his physical body.

The moment this thought crossed Xiao Ling's mind, the cyan-purple dragon wings behind him suddenly unfurled, spanning a hundred feet. Lightning crackled across the scales, and the dragon's might was so great that it shook back the surging, chilling aura around them.

"Well done!"

With a low shout that resounded through the sky, Xiao Ling not only did not retreat, but instead flapped his wings and his figure was like a streak of blue-purple light that cut through the heavens and earth. His speed was so fast that he directly tore through the void, leaving behind a series of distorted afterimages, and charged fiercely towards the Yellow Spring Seal!

"Azure Dragon Breaking Boundary Slash!"

With a deafening dragon roar, Xiao Ling's dragon wings suddenly straightened, and the blades of his wings shone with a brilliant blue light, almost illuminating the dark land of the underworld. The sharp, piercing sound of the wings tearing through the air seemed to be tearing the heavens and earth apart.

The pair of dragon wings, like two peerless divine weapons forged from the bones of a divine dragon, slashed fiercely at the very center of the Yellow Springs Seal with a power that could tear the sky apart!
boom--!
A deafening roar suddenly erupted, and the collision of the two supreme forces unleashed a world-destroying shockwave.

The eerie runes on the Yellow Springs Seal lit up instantly, frantically pouring out icy power in an attempt to freeze and shatter the dragon wings. However, the dragon wings, which shone with a bright blue light, were like indestructible blades. Wherever the blades passed, the runes crumbled inch by inch, and the black rock layers on the giant seal peeled off layer by layer, emitting a piercing cracking sound.

Click——click——

The dense cracks, like a spider web, spread wildly from where the dragon's wing had struck, covering the entire giant seal in just a few breaths.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening cracking sound rang out. The Yellow Spring Seal, which was powerful enough to suppress ordinary Dou Sheng, was actually cleaved in two by Xiao Ling's Wing Slash!

The violent, chilling power instantly dissipated, turning into countless black specks of light that vanished without a trace.

The terrifying shockwave swept across the area like a tsunami, causing the void to collapse completely and revealing dark turbulent currents. The surface of the Yellow Springs Lake below was overturned by towering waves, with the roar of the waves shaking the heavens and rocks flying through the air. The scene was extremely terrifying!

The moment the Yellow Springs Seal shattered, Xiao Ling's aura not only did not diminish in the slightest, but became even more fierce and intimidating.

Behind him, cyan-purple dragon wings, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, blazed with cyan light, carrying the power to tear apart heaven and earth, and slashed fiercely at Yao Xiaotian's main body!

Yao Xiaotian was now a giant python, a thousand feet long, its body stretching across the air. Such a massive size became an inescapable constraint in the face of Xiao Ling's extremely fast attack.

His pupils shrank drastically, filled with utter horror. In his haste, he could only twist his python body, taut out all the hardest scales on his body, in an attempt to withstand this fatal blow.

"Pfft——!"

Amidst the piercing clang of metal against metal, accompanied by a teeth-grinding tearing sound, the wing blade cleaved into Yao Xiaotian's serpent belly without any resistance.

A bluish-purple light suddenly burst forth, and a violent power raged through his body like a tsunami.

In an instant, blood rained down, black snake scales shattered and flew everywhere, the stark white bones were clearly visible, the hideous wounds were so deep that the bone was visible, and black blood continued to gush out from between the turned-out flesh.

"Roar—!" Yao Xiaotian let out a shrill scream that shook the Nine Netherworlds. His massive body, thousands of feet long, was like a rag doll being smashed by a giant hammer. He was sent flying by this incomparably powerful force and crashed heavily into the Nether Serpent Earth Vein Rock Wall behind him.

With a deafening roar, the rock wall collapsed, sending rocks flying and dust billowing into the sky. The enormous python's body was embedded deep within the rock wall, twitching and writhing, its life force instantly weakening by more than half!
Deep within the rock wall, Yao Xiaotian shook his dazed snake head violently, forcibly stabilizing his swaying body. His huge python eyes stared intently at Xiao Ling, who was approaching more and more closely. There was no longer any trace of sinister ferocity in his pupils, only undisguised fear.

He frantically opened his blood-red mouth, his voice hoarse from the pain and fear, his tone filled with suppressed pleading: "Please wait, Your Excellency! Today's events were all due to my momentary lapse of judgment. I foolishly attempted to be your enemy. I beg Your Excellency to show mercy and spare my life!"

"I am the patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python clan, in charge of the clan's rise and fall, honor and disgrace. If you are willing to stop here, I am willing to offer half of the clan's treasures, and I am also willing to swear a blood oath to restrain the clan members from now on and never make trouble for you and Brother Yaoming again!"

Yao Xiaotian's mind was in complete turmoil, filled with unexpected shock and bewilderment.

He couldn't understand how he, a powerful mid-stage One-Star Dou Sheng, the ruler of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, who possessed the clan's inherited secret techniques and had the geographical advantage of the Yellow Springs Earth Vein, could be defeated so miserably, without even the power to fight back.

Today's turn of events completely exceeded his expectations, like an absurd nightmare that left him bewildered.

At this moment, he could only hope that since he had already lowered his stance and offered substantial benefits, even if the other party was powerful, they would have to consider the consequences of making an irreconcilable feud with the Nine Netherworld Python Clan. After all, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and the power of a clan is not something that ordinary strongmen would be willing to provoke easily.

But he failed to see that he had already become the biggest obstacle to Xiao Ling establishing contact with the Nine Netherworld Python clan.

With Yao Ming, the rightful heir, around, what Xiao Ling wanted was never some precious treasure or alliance, but rather to support Yao Ming in regaining control of the clan and completely eliminate this treacherous usurper who killed his own brothers.

As long as Yao Xiaotian lives, Yao Ming will never be able to rightfully take control of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, and Xiao Ling's alliance with the demon race will be meaningless.

At this moment, he was merely fighting like a trapped beast. His seemingly respectable pleas for mercy were nothing more than a laughable death throes in Xiao Ling's eyes.

Looking at Yao Xiaotian's groveling and begging appearance, Xiao Ling couldn't help but sneer, his voice full of undisguised sarcasm: "It seems you really don't understand the current situation, you're ridiculously stupid."

His gaze swept indifferently over Yao Xiaotian's disheveled appearance, the last trace of fighting spirit in his eyes vanishing completely. He had thought he could have a good fight against this Dou Sheng expert, but who would have thought that his opponent was just a tough fry with no substance, so easily defeated, it was really boring.

In fact, Xiao Ling's idea is unfair.

If we consider the same realm, Yao Xiaotian's true form is the Nine Netherworld Python, born with a powerful physique and a cold talent. He has also learned several secret Heaven-rank fighting techniques passed down by his clan. In terms of actual combat ability alone, he is definitely considered to be of superior level among Dou Sheng of the same level. Ordinary one-star Dou Sheng mid-stage experts would not dare to easily confront him head-on.

However, Xiao Ling's strength was simply too heaven-defying, far surpassing his peers, which was why he had the illusion that "Yao Xiaotian was no match for him." Such an overwhelming gap could not be bridged by talent and techniques alone.

Xiao Ling turned his head, his gaze falling on Yao Ming, whose fighting spirit had not yet subsided. He pointed to Yao Xiaotian, who was trapped in the rock wall and unable to move, and said in a calm tone,

"I'm leaving this guy to you. It's time for you to settle this fratricidal feud between you brothers."

Upon hearing Xiao Ling's words, Yao Ming's aura suddenly solidified, and his eyes, which had been dormant for hundreds of years, instantly burst forth with intense hatred and killing intent, the crimson light almost scorching through the void.

He stared intently at Yao Xiaotian, who was barely clinging to life on the rock wall, his teeth clenched, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and the raging anger and resentment surging in his chest almost burned away his reason. The suffering of hundreds of years of imprisonment and the hatred of betrayal by killing one's own flesh and blood were all poured out at this moment.

After a moment, Yao Ming finally suppressed the turmoil in his heart, bowed to Xiao Ling, and spoke in a hoarse but earnest voice.

"Thank you for your help. I will never forget this great kindness. If you ever need my help in the future, the Nine Netherworld Python Clan will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Xiao Ling waved his hand, speaking casually as if it were a trivial matter: "No need for formalities. Just handle the rest yourself. Remember, don't kill your good brother. He'll be of great use to you."

After all, Yao Xiaotian was a genuine one-star Dou Sheng expert. It would be a waste to kill someone with such strength just like that.

Qinglin's Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil is perfect for subduing and using it for my own purposes. This would greatly benefit both Qinglin's own strength and keeping it by my side as a henchman in the future.

Upon hearing this, a hint of regret flashed in Yao Ming's eyes. In his heart, he would have tortured Yao Xiaotian to a thousand cuts to vent the hatred that had accumulated in his heart for centuries. But since Xiao Ling had given the order, he naturally wouldn't disobey.

Yao Ming took a deep breath, suppressing the killing intent in his heart, and nodded to Xiao Ling: "I understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Ming's aura suddenly surged, and a powerful pressure swept out like a tidal wave.

Although he still retained his human form, fine, jet-black scales had appeared on his face and limbs, and his originally tall figure had grown to a height of ten zhang.

With a slight movement, Yao Ming transformed into an elusive afterimage, instantly appearing before Yao Xiaotian.

He looked down at the giant python that was limp and twitching on the rock wall, a cold and chilling smile curling at the corner of his mouth, his voice filled with centuries of resentment: "Good brother, I have finally waited for this day."

"Although it's a real pity that I can't kill you with my own hands, rest assured, I will make you taste the most extreme pain in the world, and let you experience the days and nights I endured in the underworld!"

Before the words were even finished, giving the other party no chance to plead for mercy, Yao Ming's thick arms suddenly shot out, gripping Yao Xiaotian's thick snake tail like iron pincers. His arm muscles bulged, and with a sudden burst of strength, he actually swung the thousand-foot-long python around!
"Boom—Boom—!"

A series of muffled, deafening roars echoed as Yao Ming, like a giant whip, slammed Yao Xiaotian's massive body against the surrounding rock walls and ground. The hard Nether Serpent vein rock walls shattered under the giant python's impact, sending debris flying like rain. The ground was blasted into bottomless craters, dust billowed, and the earth shook violently. The entire Yellow Springs vein trembled violently under this terrifying slam.

"Roar--!!!"

Yao Xiaotian let out heart-wrenching screams, the wound on his snake belly reopening from the shock, blackish-red blood gushing out and splattering everywhere. He didn't even have the strength to struggle, forced to be swung around like a weapon, each impact feeling like it was crushing his bones. The excruciating pain nearly caused his consciousness to completely dissipate. (End of Chapter)
