Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 495 Accept it with a smile?! That's more like laughing yourself to death!

Just as the golden giant claw, brimming with destructive power, was about to completely obliterate Yao Ming and the area behind him...

"Buzz!!!"

A beam of light, reaching to the heavens and the earth, suddenly erupted from the deepest part of the Nether Serpent's veins without warning, shooting straight into the sky!

The beam of light displayed nine colors, dazzlingly beautiful.

The moment it appeared, it brought with it an indescribable, overwhelming pressure!

"Sizzle!"

The incredibly powerful golden claw was easily torn apart by the nine-colored energy the moment it collided with the pillar of light, turning into countless golden specks of light.

After breaking through the giant claw, the nine-colored beam of light continued straight into the sky without stopping.

In an instant, the world that was originally illuminated red by the flames of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was transformed into a dazzling and dreamlike spectacle!

"This is----?!"

This sudden turn of events caused the Nine Netherworld Python Clan experts, including Yao Ming, who had been in despair, to suddenly open their eyes.

His expression instantly turned to extreme astonishment and bewilderment!

They stared blankly at the nine-colored pillar of light that seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth, their eyes filled with disbelief.

What shocked them even more was that the aura emanating from that pillar of light made these serpentine demonic beasts feel a sense of awe and trembling from the depths of their blood!

That was a supreme pressure that transcended their bloodline!

"How dare you—!"

Above the sky, Huang Tian, ​​who had been confident of victory, suddenly froze on his face. His pupils contracted to pinpoints as an unbelievable surge of anger and horror welled up in his heart.

However, before he could react, another change occurred within the nine-colored pillar of light!

"call out--!"

A massive snake tail, like a dragon's tail, suddenly lashed out from the pillar of light!

The serpent's tail stretched across the sky, nearly a thousand feet long, with each scale clearly visible and shimmering with nine-colored divine light.

It carried a terrifying power capable of shattering the void, and at a tricky and ruthless angle, it shot out and swept across the team of powerful members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan who were somewhat stunned by the breaking of the giant claw not far away!

If this attack succeeds, the elite forces of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan will likely suffer heavy losses, with at least half of them lost!

"presumptuous!"

Huang Tian was filled with shock and rage, and let out a fierce roar!

His fiery wings flashed suddenly, causing the space to fluctuate violently. His figure vanished instantly, and the next moment, he appeared at the very front of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's team, facing the sweeping nine-colored giant tail!

Looking at the massive tail that was sweeping towards him, emanating an aura that made even him tremble, Huang Tian's face no longer held any of the previous contempt or arrogance.

Instead, there was an unprecedented solemnity and—a hint of barely perceptible horror!

He could clearly feel the power contained within the giant tail; it was concentrated and domineering, and its oppressive aura made him feel a little uneasy.

"The Statue of the Demon Phoenix!"

Huang Tian roared, and the vast, ocean-like flames within his body instantly boiled like a volcano!

A gigantic, sky-covering phoenix suddenly appeared.

This phoenix was a thousand feet tall, its entire body burning with golden flames, and its wings spread out, almost covering half the sky!

The terrifying pressure spread out like a tangible tsunami, causing the already collapsed earth below to sink even further. Countless demonic beasts watching from afar were terrified and retreated frantically!

"Heavens! The Demon Phoenix Saint Statue! Huang Tian was actually forced to use his true form's Saint Statue?!"

"When did the Nine Netherworld Python Clan hide such a terrifyingly powerful expert? He actually managed to force Huang Tian to go all out?!"

In the distance, some powerful beastmen who had come to watch from afar were terrified at the sight and exclaimed in disbelief.

At the same time, he turned and flew away without hesitation, fearing that he would be caught in the aftermath of the battle.

"Hey——!"

The thousand-foot-tall demonic phoenix let out a piercing cry that shook the heavens. Huang Tian's eyes were icy cold. Its wings, which were like cast gold with incomparably sharp edges, were like two heavenly blades that cleaved through the sky.

Carrying golden flames that could incinerate everything, it fiercely slashed at the sweeping nine-colored giant tail!

"Boom—!!!"

The giant tail and the celestial-blade-like wings collided solidly and without any frills!

At that moment, it was as if two stars had collided!

A terrifying sonic boom, like thunder, instantly swept across an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

Space, like fragile glass, spread out in countless dark and menacing cracks from the point of impact.

The violent energy shockwave spread out in a ring. Some of the onlookers who were closer and confident in their own cultivation had their eardrums ruptured instantly, bleeding profusely, and fell from the sky with screams!

This earth-shattering collision left countless people gasping in shock and their scalps tingling!

This is a terrifying confrontation of pure physical strength!

It can actually unleash such earth-shattering power!

They had no doubt that even an ordinary first or second-star Dou Sheng would have been smashed into a bloody mist and left with no trace of their body if they had been caught in that attack!

next moment.

Under the gaze of countless stunned eyes, the stalemate lasted for less than a breath.

"puff--!"

A mouthful of scalding golden blood gushed out of the thousand-foot-tall demonic phoenix's mouth like a fountain!

Immediately afterwards, fine cracks appeared on those seemingly indestructible golden wings!

"Crack—Boom!"

Amidst incredulous gazes, the colossal body of the Thousand-Foot Demon Phoenix was as if it had been struck head-on by an ancient divine mountain, letting out a painful wail before—flying backward!

Like a runaway fiery mountain range, it smashed through several towering peaks in its path, finally carving a huge ravine thousands of feet long in the ground before barely coming to a stop.

The golden light around him had dimmed, clearly indicating that he had suffered serious injuries!

On the other hand, the nine-colored giant tail, although its light dimmed slightly, seemed unaffected and slowly retracted into the pillar of light.

"hiss-!!!"

At this moment, throughout the entire Nether Serpent Vein, whether it was the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan, or the powerful figures watching from afar, a unified gasp of astonishment filled the air.

Countless gazes were fixed on the still dazzling nine-colored pillar of light, their eyes filled with utter awe and reverence.

Huang Tian, ​​a late-stage Five-Star Dou Sheng, unleashed a full-force attack using his true form, yet he was actually repelled head-on?!

He was even injured?!

Who exactly is this mysterious and powerful being within the pillar of light?!

"Pfft—" The image of the Demon Phoenix Saint dissipated, revealing the true form of Huang Tian, ​​whose face was pale, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and whose breathing was obviously disordered. He stared intently at the nine-colored pillar of light, his eyes filled with shock, anger, resentment, and a trace of—unbelievable fear.

"I wonder which serpent elder stepped forward to save my Nine Netherworld Python clan from peril!"

"Your great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten by our clan! We beg you, sir, to appear before us so that I, Yaoming, and my entire clan may express our gratitude!"

Below, Yao Ming, who had just escaped death, endured his injuries and bowed deeply to the nine-colored pillar of light with great excitement, his voice trembling.

His heart was filled with ecstasy and anticipation. He never expected that their Nine Netherworld Python clan would still have such a terrifying serpent ancestor in the world!

This is truly a lifeline from heaven, a hope for the revival of our people!

The other survivors of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan also reacted, their eyes brimming with tears of emotion. They bowed respectfully to the pillar of light, shouting in unison, "Thank you, senior, for saving our lives!"

Not long after Yao Ming finished speaking, the nine-colored pillar of light that stretched to the heavens and the earth began to slowly fade.

A stunningly beautiful figure, with breathtaking curves, emerged from the center of the pillar of light, as if stepping out of a painting, and slowly ascended into the air.

When the light completely faded, revealing the true form of the figure, the entire world seemed to fall silent for a moment.

She was a woman dressed in a simple red robe.

She is tall and slender with a curvaceous figure.

Her nose was delicate and upturned, her red lips were naturally rosy, and she was slightly pursed, subtly exuding an innate languor and charm.

However, those long, narrow, beautiful eyes now held an air of domineering authority and indifference, like an empress surveying her territory.

Cold and beautiful, alluring, devastatingly beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful —

In an instant, countless similar words flooded the minds of everyone present who witnessed the event.

Such a person is simply an unparalleled beauty!

"Mrs. Xiao—?!"

Yao Ming's eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape, almost unable to believe his eyes!

He subconsciously rubbed his eyes hard, fearing that he was hallucinating due to his serious injuries!

The powerful figure who had repelled Huang Tian upon merely appearing was actually—actually Madam Xiao Bai, whose cultivation level seemed to be only at the Dou Zun level before she entered the Nine Nether Yellow Springs for seclusion?!

How...how is this possible?!

Yao Ming felt that his understanding of the world had been completely overturned!

The other core elders of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan who recognized the identity of the person were also petrified, their faces blank, too shocked to speak.

The colorful scales stood in mid-air, nodding slightly in response to Yao Ming.

Her long, narrow, and majestic eyes, like cold lightning, slowly swept across Yaoming, scanning the entire scene.

In an instant, anyone whose eyes were swept over by those lazy yet imposing gazes felt their hearts pound uncontrollably. They hurriedly lowered their eyes, not daring to meet his gaze, and secretly exclaimed, "What a wicked and bewitching woman!"

Some who were less resolute and had weaker cultivation turned red in the face, their internal fighting spirit showed signs of disorder, and they were breathing rapidly.

Cai Lin ignored this.

She had just completed her transformation, and her cultivation had skyrocketed. The allure of the Devouring Python bloodline had not yet been perfectly concealed.

Her gaze searched carefully through the crowd, but she couldn't find the familiar figure she was hoping for. A barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed deep in her eyes.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Cai Lin parted her red lips slightly, her voice clear and melodious, yet carrying an undeniable air of authority, as she looked at Yao Ming.

Yao Ming suppressed the shock and countless questions in his heart and quickly recounted the conflict that had occurred that day.

"The Celestial Phoenix Clan —"

Cai Lin frowned slightly, her gaze suddenly turning cold as she looked at Huang Tian, ​​who had just crawled out of the ruins and was barely breathing.

She knew about the feud between Xiao Bai and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

"Perfect."

A cold glint flashed in Cai Lin's beautiful eyes. Her tone was calm, yet it contained a chilling killing intent, "I will emerge from seclusion today to eliminate this threat for him!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she no longer hesitated and gently raised her arm.

On Yu Hao's wrist, a seemingly ordinary seven-colored bracelet suddenly burst forth with unparalleled brilliance!

"Hiss hiss hiss—!"

In an instant, under countless shocked gazes, dozens of giant python phantoms, their bodies shimmering with seven-colored light, shot out from the bracelet's glow!

Each of these giant pythons contains powerful spiritual energy and chilling yin energy.

They hissed at each other, their heads and tails linked together like lightning, weaving in the air into a huge, seven-colored snake net that blotted out the sky, radiating a terrifying binding force, and descending upon Huang Tian who had just stood still!

"Seven—a seven-colored, sky-devouring python?!"

Yao Ming stared blankly at the dozens of powerful, seven-colored giant pythons once again.

Immediately, he suddenly recalled the fleeting glimpse of the nine-colored giant tail, and combined with the increasingly clear bloodline suppression he felt at the moment, an unbelievable thought exploded in his mind like a thunderclap!

"Nine...nine colors?! She is...the Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python?!"

Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python!

That is a divine beast that exists only in the deepest part of the bloodline memory of snake-like magical beasts!

This being is even more powerful than their ancestor, the Ancient Celestial Serpent, who is also a serpentine magical beast!

According to extremely ancient records, the number of times this has occurred throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent, from ancient times to the present, can be counted on one hand.

No wonder—no wonder Palace Master Xiao brought her to this extremely yin and cold Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs for seclusion!

No wonder her cultivation progress is so terrifying, it's like she's ascended to heaven in one step!

Everything makes sense now!

At this moment, it's not just Yaoming.

Those knowledgeable and powerful onlookers in the distance, upon seeing the dozens of seven-colored Sky-Devouring Python soul phantoms and recalling the nine-colored giant tail that had previously repelled Huang Tian, ​​realized that...

At this moment, everyone realized what was happening, and an uproar ensued!

"A nine-colored, sky-devouring python! Such a legendary beast actually exists on the continent?!"

Huang Tian was disheveled, with blood still trickling from the corner of his mouth. He stared at the seven-colored snake net that was descending on him, his pupils contracting sharply. The snake net gave him an extremely dangerous feeling!

He abruptly looked up at the void in a certain direction, letting out an anxious roar: "Soul Flame! Aren't you going to make a move?! Do you really want me to perish here?!"

"Um?!"

Cai Lin, who was just about to capture Huang Tian in one fell swoop, changed her pretty face slightly upon hearing this.

She sensed that the seven-colored snake net she was controlling seemed to suddenly sink into an invisible quagmire when it approached a certain spot above Huang Tian's head.

"Hehehe—I never expected this, a little accident actually happened."

A hoarse and chilling laugh suddenly rang out from that void.

Immediately afterwards, a withered hand, resembling a ghostly claw and shrouded in thick black flames, slowly emerged from the void.

He gently squeezed his palm against the enormous, seven-colored snake net.

"Bang—!!!"

With a muffled thud, the sturdy snake web formed by the interconnected souls of dozens of seven-colored Sky-Devouring Pythons collapsed instantly, just like a fragile spider web.

They transformed back into dozens of weak, seven-colored, sky-devouring python souls, which swam frantically in the air.

"Seven Star Fighting Saints!"

Sensing the immense aura emanating from the owner of that withered hand without any attempt to conceal it, Cai Lin's heart clenched, and his tone became more solemn than ever before!

The space fluctuated, and a gaunt old man shrouded in a black robe slowly stepped out.

His gaze first fell on Cai Lin's cold and beautiful face and proud figure. He was slightly taken aback, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes, before he chuckled strangely, "Tsk tsk, that Xiao Bai—he's quite the ladies' man!"

Immediately, his gaze shifted to the dozens of terrified seven-colored Sky-Devouring Python souls, a barely suppressed gleam of joy flashing in his eyes: "Haha—I never expected such a gain! They're all seven-colored Sky-Devouring Python souls! Excellent—if I refine and absorb them all, my soul realm might advance another step!"

As he spoke, he raised his withered hand again, black flames surging in his palm, transforming into a giant black hand that reached out to grab the souls of the seven-colored Devouring Pythons!

"You dare—!"

Upon seeing this, Cai Lin's beautiful eyes blazed with fury!

These remnant souls of the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Pythons are ancestors of the Sky-Devouring Python clan at the bottom of the Nine Netherworlds. How could they fall into the hands of the Soul Clan?!

With a sharp cry, she waved her jade-like hand, and a condensed energy beam, like a rainbow bridge, tore through space and swept towards Soul Flame!

"Even if you are a Five-Star Dou Sheng, a divine beast like the Nine-Colored Sky-Devouring Python with a powerful bloodline, the gap between two realms is not easily bridged—I will gladly accept these remnant souls of the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Pythons today!"

Despite the enraged attack from Cai Lin, Hun Yan continued his grabbing of the Seven-Colored Devouring Python, his other hand casually rising and striking out. A massive palm print, brimming with powerful battle qi, collided with the nine-colored ribbon of light.

"boom!"

The energy exploded, and although the nine-colored ribbon was powerful, it was ultimately shattered by the overwhelming power of the Seven Star Battle Saint.

Cai Lin's delicate body trembled slightly, and she took half a step back, her expression becoming even more solemn.

The difference between two stars in the Dou Sheng stage is indeed like a chasm.

As the black palm was about to engulf the remnants of dozens of seven-colored Sky-Devouring Pythons, a hint of anxiety flashed in Cai Lin's eyes. "Accept it?! You'd be laughing your head off! Do you think I'm just a decoration?!"

An impatient dragon's roar, like a thunderclap from the heavens, suddenly exploded across the land!

"Sizzle—!"

The void between the colorful scales and the soul flames twisted and shattered violently without warning!

A massive golden dragon claw, with its scales, emerged fiercely and domineeringly from the shattered void.

Golden lightning crackled around the dragon's claw as it slammed down on the black energy hand that was grabbing at the remnant soul of the Seven-Colored Devouring Python!

"Xiao Bai's dragon?!"

Hun Yan's expression changed drastically for the first time!

Back in the Desolate Ancient Domain, although this dragon was defeated by Lord Void in one move, it was a genuine eight-star Dou Sheng powerhouse, so he couldn't help but be wary of it!

"boom--!!!"

The dragon claw and the giant hand collided fiercely!

This clash was far more terrifying than the previous confrontation between Cai Lin and Huang Tian!

Space didn't shatter; instead, it collapsed directly, creating a massive black hole!

A violent spatial turbulence and energy storm rage!

That seemingly powerful giant hand was as fragile as paper under the golden lightning dragon claw, and was instantly smashed to pieces, with black flames scattering everywhere!

The dragon claw continued its momentum, carrying its remaining power, and slammed down on the head of the Soul Flame's main body, whose expression had changed drastically!

In shock, Hun Yan's body surged with black flames, which condensed into a thick black shield in front of him, and he retreated rapidly!

"clang-!!!"

The dragon claw slammed into the black flame shield, producing a deafening roar!

The shield trembled violently, and countless cracks appeared on its surface.

Hun Yan was so shocked by the immense force that his blood and qi surged. He groaned and flew hundreds of feet backward before he could barely regain his footing. His eyes, hidden beneath his black robe, were filled with horror!

After knocking back the Soul Flame, the golden lightning dragon claw did not pursue, but instead grabbed at the air.

A gentle spatial force surged forth, sweeping up the terrified remnants of the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Pythons and bringing them to Cai Lin's side.

Cai Lin quickly waved her hand and put them back into her bracelet. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the void rift that the dragon claw had extended. Her eyes were filled with shock.

This is... that damn dragon?!

Seeing it repel a Seven-Star Battle Saint with a single claw, she momentarily wondered if she had miscalculated the date.

Could it be that I have been in seclusion in the Netherworld for decades or even centuries?
