Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 183 Qinglin's Crisis

The Beast Realm is vast, with swirling yellow sand and crisscrossing mountain ranges resembling broken walls. The air is perpetually filled with the bloody stench of roaring monsters, and desolation and wildness intertwine to create the most primitive landscape.

Among the three major families in Warcraft, the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void resides on Dragon Island, in the void, and is detached from worldly affairs; the Phoenix Clan of the Heavenly Demon is imprisoned, besieged by the six ancient clans in the Phoenix Nest of the Wutong Tree, and has lost its former arrogance that once roamed the beast realm.

Under such circumstances, the Nine Netherworld Python clan became the sole overlord of the Beast Realm.

They lived a very carefree life during this period.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan had once controlled the vassal territories and resource-rich lands that had not been coveted by the six ancient clans, and the Nine Netherworld Python Clan quietly grew stronger by taking advantage of this momentum.

Everyone in the clan thought that this peaceful and prosperous life would continue for a long time, until the arrival of an uninvited guest shattered this tranquility...

"Search! Search thoroughly! Don't miss an inch of land!"

In the ancient mountains, a half-saint elder of the Nine Netherworld Python, clad in dark-patterned python armor, hovered in mid-air, his snake eyes filled with fierce light.

"Yes!"

Dozens of Dou Zun elders, their expressions solemn, scattered and wandered through the mountains.

"Damn it, why has this kind of bloodline appeared again!"

The roar of the Nine Netherworld Python Half-Saint Elder was filled with ferocity. Beneath the surging rage in his vertical pupils, there was a trace of undisguised fear, and the python energy around his body surged violently due to the turmoil of his emotions.

Not long ago, a human woman somehow wandered into the territory of the Nine Netherworld Pythons.

Initially, the clan did not take her seriously. After all, the woman was only a Dou Zun cultivator, no different from an ant compared to the Nine Netherworld Python clan, which possessed Saints.

The clan only sent three Dou Zun elders to capture them, treating it as a casual cleanup of scum who had intruded into their territory.

They originally thought the matter would be resolved in the blink of an eye, but strangely, the three Dou Zun elders disappeared without a trace.

Only then did the python clan realize something was wrong and hurriedly sent several times more people to investigate, but they still encountered misfortune.

Only one elder, who had miraculously survived, mustered his last strength to escape and bring back the news that terrified the entire clan.

Only then did the Nine Netherworld Python clan realize that the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil had actually been reborn!

The semi-saint elder's snake pupils suddenly contracted, a cold light and killing intent mingling in his eyes: "Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil... that is the nemesis of all snake-type magical beasts in the world!"

Unless one possesses an extremely pure ancient bloodline like that of the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Python or the Ancient Celestial Serpent, ordinary snakes, upon seeing these eyes, are like prey seeing its natural enemy, utterly incapable of resistance!

The half-saint elder looked unwilling: "It's a pity that my clan's bloodline has degenerated for tens of thousands of years and has no trace of the ancient celestial serpent's divine power. Otherwise, why would we be afraid of her!"
It's too late to say all this now. In any case, we must nip her in the bud before she grows up! We must never let her become a major threat to our clan!
Damn it! Which bastard broke the rules?!
The clan has long had a strict order forbidding the abduction of human women for mating, and even the subordinate snake clans have repeatedly warned against it! But now, a green snake with three-flowered eyes has suddenly appeared in the Beast Realm!

If they find out who did it, I'll skin him alive!

Just as he was furious about the appearance of the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, he was completely unaware of the strange occurrences lurking in the shadows...

A hundred miles away, in the shadow of a precipice, a faint green light pierced through the thin mist in the forest, like a dormant firefly trailing the figure of the half-saint elder.

"This is troublesome..."

A woman dressed in a light green silk dress sighed softly, raised her hand to her brow, and suppressed the eerie green light that had not yet completely faded from her eyes.

A hint of sorrow lingered on Qinglin's beautiful face, her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly furrowed.

She did not intentionally trespass into the territory of the Nine Netherworld Serpent.

Not long ago, she came to Zhongzhou from the Northwest Continent through a spatial passage. At first, she devoted herself to cultivation in the human territory, and her days were quite peaceful. However, the cultivation path of the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil was unique. The fastest way to improve was to use her pupil power to control serpentine magical beasts and then absorb their cultivation and bloodline power.

To maintain rapid progress in cultivation, one must constantly seek out new snake-type magical beasts.

Previously, in order to break through to the Dou Zun realm, the snake-like magical beasts she had controlled had already been drained and turned into nourishment for her advancement.

Now that my realm is stable, if I want to continue climbing to the top, I can only seek out even stronger snake-type magical beasts.

After much thought, she concluded that the Beast Realm, where snakes were the most numerous and where there were many eighth-tier magical beasts, was the most suitable place for her.

Despite all her calculations, Qing Lin never expected that the first eighth-tier snake-type magical beast she would choose after entering the Beast Realm would be a member of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan…

"hiss--!"

A sharp snake-like hiss suddenly exploded deep within his mind, as if countless fine needles were piercing his sea of ​​consciousness. Qinglin pressed his forehead hard, his face instantly turning pale.

Her troubles on this trip went far beyond provoking the Nine Netherworld Python clan.

Deep within this ancient mountain range, she unexpectedly stumbled upon the weathered remains of an ancient celestial serpent. Even more strangely, a wisp of the ancient celestial serpent's remnant soul was still curled up inside the skull of the remains.

This remnant soul, through some unknown power, was able to forcibly attach itself to her body, and even the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil could not expel it; now it had become an inescapable burden.

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss—!"

The snake's hissing in her sea of ​​consciousness grew more urgent, and nine ferocious snake head phantoms suddenly appeared, their scarlet vertical pupils staring intently at Qinglin's soul, frantically colliding with her consciousness, trying to seize control of this body.

"Go down!"

Qinglin's eyebrows furrowed, her ten fingers danced, and the powerful battle qi within her body surged and erupted through her meridians like a ignited fire, with a faint green halo surrounding her.

In those clear eyes, an eerie green light shone brightly, and three petal-shaped pupil patterns slowly unfolded beneath them.

The power of the Jade Serpent's Three-Flower Pupil erupted without reservation, transforming into a solid green beam of light that shot straight into the depths of the soul.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, nine ferocious snake-headed phantoms were opening their blood-red mouths. Seeing the green light coming, they also spat out nine streams of black mist, which collided fiercely with the green light.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

The moment the two touched, countless tiny energy ripples vibrated in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The three-flowered eyes suddenly burst forth with a dazzling green light, like a blazing green sun, forcefully tearing apart the black mist, and then steadily enveloping the nine-headed snake shadow, pressing it little by little into the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness.

The nine-headed snake shadow let out an unwilling hiss, but ultimately could not withstand the suppression of the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke, lying dormant again in the corner of the sea of ​​consciousness.

"call……"

Just as Qing Lin breathed a sigh of relief, the burst of fighting spirit from this brief exchange revealed her location like a fire in the dark.

"over there!"

A loud shout came from not far away from the Nine Netherworld Python Clan's Dou Zun Elder, his voice filled with excitement and killing intent.

The next second, a dense series of whooshing sounds came from all directions. A group of python clan members wielding snake-shaped weapons followed the fluctuations and rushed towards the rock crevice where Qinglin was hiding like a tide.
