The comet remained silent, only relentlessly unleashing heavenly tribulations.

Chapter 136 The Witch Clan

Song Yi quietly left the water palace and headed straight for the Yellow River without lingering.

The Yellow River is the primary waterway in the human realm, one of the dragon veins of the human race, and the mother river of the human race in Jambudvipa.

Since the goddess Nuwa created humans from clay, the human race has lived near water. The Yellow River, flowing mightily, has irrigated and nurtured trillions of people for countless eons, and the brilliance of humanity it carries is truly immeasurable.

However, the Yellow River is also extremely dangerous. After the great calamity of the witches and demons, the primordial world was shattered and the world was overturned. Many of the remnants of the witches and demons were rejected by the Heavenly Dao. Some of them fled into the vast void of the stars, while others entered the human world.

Most of the witches who entered the human realm went to the Northern Continent, which was rife with poisonous miasma and teeming with ferocious beasts. A large portion of the rest went into the vast water systems of the Yellow River and the Four Seas, where they lay dormant and barely survived.

Following the causal thread of the water unicorn, Song Yi quickly located his target in a deep section of the Yellow River.

At the bottom of the river, thousands of feet below, a dark cave suddenly came into view.

The cave entrance was half-covered by aquatic plants and mud, from which a strong, malevolent aura emanated.

Inside the cave, a three-headed black snake was sleeping, its body coiled up, as thick as a giant pillar, covered with jet-black scales. Each snake head was the size of a water vat, and its six vertical pupils were tightly closed, yet still exuded a chilling aura.

Its body was filled with a menacing aura, like black smoke, which turned the river water in the cave black.

"The Wu tribe, a branch of the Xiangliu lineage."

Song Yi was startled.

Xiang Liu was an ancient great shaman with a snake's body and nine heads. He devoured countless people, turning every place he went into a swamp. His fearsome reputation was renowned among the shaman clan.

Although the three black snakes in front of me have bloodlines far less pure than Xiangliu's and only have three heads, their aura is powerful, and they should be at the level of a Earth Witch.

The cultivation of the Wu tribe differs from that of Taoist immortals and Buddhas. They temper their physical bodies, condense their bloodline supernatural powers, and divide themselves into levels based on power.

The Great Witch corresponds to the Great Luo Golden Immortal, and below the Great Witch is the Heavenly Witch, which corresponds to the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Below the Heavenly Witch is the Earthly Witch, corresponding to the Golden Immortal realm.

As for those below the Earth Witch, the witch soldiers and generals are all cannon fodder to the witch clan, and there is no need to make detailed distinctions.

Song Yi held his breath and concentrated, once again using the supernatural power of the "Primordial Calamity Scripture" to carefully draw the two causal threads of the water unicorn and the three-headed black snake together, using the power of calamity to entangle and bind them.

This is a clever grafting technique that does not forcibly change cause and effect, but simply makes the causal connection between the two more clear and perceptible.

Suddenly, inside the cave, the six vertical pupils of the three-headed black snake snapped open, a flash of blood-red light in its eyes, and some images suddenly appeared in its mind.

That was a scene of the water unicorn in the Huai River cultivating in its water palace, breathing in and out water vapor, and the fierce power and demonic aura that the water unicorn occasionally emitted, so clear that it seemed to be right in front of me.

"That damned water buffalo! It actually hid in the Huai River!"

The three-headed black snake was furious, and its old grudge against the water unicorn was instantly stirred up.

At that moment, black light surged around him, and his enormous snake body rapidly contracted and transformed into a giant man three zhang tall.

Its body was covered in black scales, and its face was even more terrifying than that of a demon, with exposed fangs, flashing red light in its eyes, and a murderous aura soaring to the sky.

The burly man in black armor reached into the cave and pulled out a strange weapon that resembled neither a halberd nor a fork. It was entirely black and exuded a strong aura of ferocity.

Then it strode out of the cave and flew towards the Huai River.

The witch tribe is fierce and ruthless, ignorant of the seasons and mystical arts, and acts entirely on instinct and bloodlust. Song Yi is not worried that this witch tribe will notice anything unusual.

He concealed himself, trailing far behind the dark figure shrouded in intense malevolence.

The giant man, transformed from the three-headed black snake, was incredibly fast. His feet churned with murderous aura, carving a path through the Yellow River and rushing straight toward the Huai River.

Half a day later, the three-headed black snake entered the depths of the Huai River. When it saw the water palace in the distance, its eyes were filled with fury that almost burst forth.

He slammed the three-pronged fork in his hand, which was twisted like a snake, and the mud and sand at the bottom of the river churned up. The aquatic creatures within a radius of dozens of miles were frightened by this evil aura and fled in all directions.

"Linming, you water buffalo beast, you've been hiding in the Huai River for dozens of years! No wonder I couldn't find you. Come out and face your death!"

The three-headed black snake roared, its voice like a thunderclap, shaking the walls of the water palace. The shrimp soldiers and crab generals guarding the gate were directly knocked to the ground, bleeding from their seven orifices.

Inside the Water Palace, the Water Qilin was in seclusion, comprehending a water-based divine power, and its demonic energy was circulating at a crucial moment.

Upon hearing the sound, he abruptly opened his eyes, a flash of horror crossing his vertical pupils. He said in a deep voice, "Xiang She? How did this black snake find its way into the Huai River?"

The water unicorn was shocked. It had been hiding in the Huai River veins for countless millennia without incident, but it never expected that its old rival would suddenly come knocking on its door today.

This is a crucial moment in his cultivation; his demonic power is not yet fully stable. If he were to emerge from seclusion to fight now, his chances of victory would be greatly reduced.

But since Xiang She has already blocked the doorway, there's no way to avoid it.

He immediately withdrew his cultivation technique, his demonic power erupting suddenly, causing the entire water palace to tremble. He then transformed into a streak of azure light and flew out of the river.

surface.

On the Huai River, the waves surged.

The water unicorn revealed its true form: a giant beast over ten zhang tall, with a lion's head, deer antlers, tiger's eyes, deer's body, dragon scales, and ox tail. It stood on its four hooves, its blue scales gleaming coldly in the sunlight, and water shimmering between the pair of dragon horns on its head.

"Xiang She, dozens of years have passed since you last met, and you're still so reckless." The water unicorn's voice was cold, and its gaze was chilling as it stared at the three-headed black snake opposite it.

Xiang She laughed loudly, his laughter filled with ferocity, and said, "Good, good, it really is you! Today I will twist off your head, you water buffalo beast, to offer as a sacrifice to the sons of my Xiang Liu lineage who died at your hands!"

Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly swelled up, revealing his true form as a three-headed black snake. The three snake heads were raised high, each the size of a house, with six vertical pupils glowing with scarlet blood. His fangs were interlocked, and the dripping venomous saliva fell into the river, causing the river water to boil and emit pungent white smoke.

The water unicorn snorted coldly, said no more, and took the initiative to attack.

With a sudden stomp of its four hooves, a thousand-foot wave burst forth on the surface of the Huai River beneath its feet, as if the entire river itself tilted.

The giant wave transformed into countless water arrows, each about ten feet thick, shooting towards Xiangshe in an overwhelming manner.

The three snake heads opened their mouths simultaneously, spewing out billowing black mist.

The black mist was extremely foul-smelling; it was the innate poison of the Xiangliu lineage, and even a tiny bit of it would cause the flesh and bones of an ordinary Golden Immortal to dissolve.

The black mist collided with the water arrow, producing a hissing sound. The water arrow was completely corroded, turning into a sky full of yellow poisonous water that splashed into the river, causing countless dead fish to float to the surface.

Upon seeing this, the water unicorn chanted an incantation, and a fist-sized blue pearl flew out from between its two horns.

The pearl was crystal clear, and inside it seemed to contain a vast ocean. It was his natal magic weapon, the "Azure Sea Pearl," which he had spent tens of thousands of years refining.
