Battle Through the Heavens: The Young Master of the Heavenly Serpent, intercepts Yao Lao at the star

On the northwestern continent, on the edge of the desert, a thousand miles north of the Black Corner Domain lies the infamous Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Serpents.

This is a world of yellow sand, and also a paradise for serpentine monsters.

A raging sandstorm, carrying scorching heat, surged and roared across the land, transforming into golden waves that crashed against the cracked Gobi Desert.

Deep within this desolate desert, a majestic and imposing city stands, like a primordial beast that has lain dormant for millennia, forcefully supporting a world amidst the boundless yellow sand—this is the Heavenly Serpent City.

From afar, the entire city stretches out in a winding, undulating pattern, its head and tail connected, resembling a giant serpent sleeping in the sea of ​​sand. Its scales are menacing, and its aura is intimidating. Even a Douhuang expert passing through this place would subconsciously restrain his aura and dare not act rashly in the slightest.

The Heavenly Serpent Palace is the absolute ruler of this city and a first-rate power in the Northwest Continent.

Unlike other sects, the Heavenly Serpent Palace is not simply a human force, but is extremely close to serpentine magical beasts. The palace has both exceptionally talented human disciples and serpentine magical beast elders and guest ministers, whether they have transformed or not.

Anyone with strength and talent, whether human or snake, can establish themselves in the Heavenly Serpent Palace, share resources, and jointly wield power.

Deep within the mansion, behind the main courtyard, lies a rare oasis, its verdant green covering the entire mountaintop.

At that moment, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly shattered the tranquility of the back mountain.

"Ah!!! Young Master, please spare me! I really can't hold on any longer!"

The sound shook the surrounding leaves, causing them to fall in a rustling motion. A huge black figure was seen rolling wildly on the ground, its scales scraping against the sand and stones, making a piercing sound.

It was an eight-winged black serpent king, over ten zhang long, with a body as black as ink. Its eight pairs of fleshy wings were folded at its sides, and each scale shimmered with a metallic luster. It was a dignified sixth-order magical beast, with strength comparable to a human Dou Huang powerhouse!

At this moment, however, this guest elder, who held a prestigious position in the Heavenly Serpent Palace, seemed to have all his strength drained away. His massive body was curled up on the ground, his serpentine eyes filled with pain and fear, and his whole body was trembling violently, as if he were being tortured by a thousand cuts.

Standing before the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King was a boy who was only six years old.

The young man, dressed in a white brocade robe, with delicate features and fair skin, seemed out of place in the ruggedness of the desert.

He stood upright, his small hands outstretched forward, and in the palm of his hand, a pale golden snake scale mark shone brightly.

Its intricate patterns, writhing slowly like a living creature, exuded a powerful aura emanating from the depths of its bloodline, locking onto the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King.

This is the snake spirit mark that Bai Chuxiao, the young master of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, was born with.

"Big Blackie, if you dare to provoke me again, I'll drain all your fighting spirit." Bai Chuxiao's lips curled up slightly as he slowly withdrew his hand.

The light from the snake spirit seal in his palm gradually faded, and the suffocating pressure dissipated as well.

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent King felt as if it had been granted a pardon. Its massive body instantly went limp to the ground, panting heavily. Its forked tongue flickered in and out, and its once glossy black scales were now dull and lifeless. The fighting spirit within its body was in complete disarray, having lost nearly 30%.

It raised its head, looking at the young man before it. The arrogance of a Dou Huang powerhouse was gone from its eyes, replaced only by profound awe and fear. It hurriedly replied in a trembling voice, "Yes, yes, yes! This subordinate dares not do it again! Young Sect Master, spare my life!"

Seeing the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King in such a disheveled state, Bai Chuxiao nodded with satisfaction.

The cause of the matter was simple. He was bored with his seclusion and cultivation all day long, so he thought of riding this Douhuang-level guest elder out for a ride and to see the scenery of the Ten Thousand Serpent Sand Sea.

But how proud was the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King? It was a guest of the Heavenly Serpent Palace, not a pet to be kept. Even if the other party was the young sect master, it would never condescend to become his mount. It immediately refused, and its tone carried a bit of the arrogance of a Dou Huang.

Bai Chuxiao was not one to follow the rules, and seeing that the other party refused to listen, he impulsively tried to activate the Snake Spirit Seal in his palm to see if he could suppress this Dou Huang-level black snake.

He hadn't held out much hope, after all, the other party was a genuine Dou Huang powerhouse, while he himself was just a little guy who had just advanced to the first star of Dou Zhe, and was not even an ant in front of a Dou Huang.

But who would have thought that the suppressive effect of the Serpent Spirit Seal would be so powerful!

An invisible force surged from the mark, instantly piercing through the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King's defenses and directly affecting its bloodline and soul. This caused the Dou Huang powerhouse to become stiff all over, his Dou Qi to stagnate, and he had no strength to resist. He could only let Bai Chuxiao absorb the Dou Qi within his body.

"I'll let you off the hook today. I'll go out for a stroll next time." Bai Chuxiao clapped his hands, his tone light and cheerful.

Having just absorbed a portion of the Dou Qi of a Dou Huang powerhouse, I need to go back and properly seclude myself to digest it. Perhaps I can directly skip two minor stages and advance from a one-star Dou Zhe to a three-star Dou Zhe!

This cultivation speed is nothing short of heaven-defying.

Bai Chuxiao began practicing Qi at the age of four and was able to condense a Qi vortex at the age of six, successfully advancing to the level of a Dou Zhe. Such talent is astonishing even on the entire Dou Qi Continent.

Even the descendants of those legendary ancient clans with profound heritage, who have been blessed with top-tier cultivation techniques and abundant resources since childhood, may not be able to reach such a terrifying level.

All of this is thanks to the Serpent Spirit Seal in his palm.

He was not a native of this world, but rather a transmigrator carrying memories of his previous life.

From birth, this snake-scale-like mark was imprinted on his palm, and no one knew its origin.

There is no record of it in the records of the Heavenly Serpent Palace. Even his own mother, Bai Wanqing, the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Palace—a powerful nine-star Dou Zong—knew nothing about it and regarded it as an ordinary birthmark.

After all, the cultivation techniques practiced by the Heavenly Serpent Clan are closely related to snakes. It is perfectly normal for a member of the clan to be born with a snake-shaped birthmark. Even if his parents are both pure humans, no one would find it strange.

When Bai Chuxiao was four years old, he began to cultivate battle qi. By chance, he absorbed the battle qi of a battle-level demonic snake, which opened the door to a new world.

Since then, the power of the Serpent Spirit Seal has gradually awakened, and his cultivation speed has increased by leaps and bounds. The strength of the snake-like objects that can absorb battle qi has also risen steadily.

From his initial stages as a Fighter and a Master, to his later stages as a Great Master and a Spirit Fighter, and now, after breaking through to the Fighter stage, he can even easily suppress and absorb the fighting energy of snake-like magical beasts at the level of a Douhuang!

Currently, the functions of the Serpent Spirit Seal have not been fully developed. Bai Chuxiao has only figured out two abilities: one is to absorb the fighting spirit of serpentine magical beasts and make it his own; the other is to exert absolute bloodline suppression on serpentine magical beasts, with the suppression level being equal to the level of fighting spirit he can absorb.

In other words, he is now just a minor fighter, yet he can suppress snake-type magical beasts at the level of a Douhuang (Battle Emperor) with the Snake Spirit Seal, leaving them powerless to resist!

After this secret was discovered, the entire Heavenly Serpent Palace was in an uproar.

Everyone realized that Bai Chuxiao was no ordinary genius. The Serpent Spirit Seal in his palm was a hundred times more terrifying than the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil recorded in the sect. It was the greatest hope for the rise of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion and the key to dominating the Northwest Continent in the future!

From then on, Bai Chuxiao became the apple of the eye of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, with a constant supply of cultivation resources, from pills to cultivation techniques, all of which were top-notch!

The number of snake-like magical beasts that he could use to absorb battle qi was countless. The mansion even opened a secret realm for him, raising all kinds of snake demons from the level of Dou Zhe to Dou Wang, for his use.
