Chapter 467 Mysterious Visitor
Upon hearing Yao Ming's words, Ye Chen almost couldn't resist roasting the guy into a dried-up corpse!
Ye Chen's sharp gaze swept over the other man like a blade. He was already considering whether he could extract the energy from the Yellow Spring Blood Crystal if he put this guy into the medicine cauldron...
Just as Yao Ming was about to say something more, he suddenly felt an icy chill, even more biting than the cold of the Netherworld, shoot straight up from the soles of his feet to his crown chakra. Then, seeing Ye Chen's strange gaze, he said urgently, "Young friend, please don't be impatient, let me finish..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his mouth suddenly opened, and a streak of blood-red light shot out, finally hovering in front of Ye Chen...
It was a blood-red crystal block, roughly the size of a fist!
The crystal seemed to contain an endless flow of blood, making it look extremely eerie.
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, looking at the crimson crystal in front of him, and couldn't help but ask, "Is this the Yellow Springs Blood Crystal?"
Not only was there just one piece, but it also came from the old man's mouth, which made Ye Chen's expression somewhat unpleasant.
Although he resembled a desiccated corpse, Yao Ming's tone still betrayed a hint of embarrassment as he said, "Yes...yes. The Yellow Spring Blood Crystal is extremely difficult to form and takes a very long time to form. This is just the last piece..."
Ye Chen was speechless, but he still took the blood crystal into his hand.
As soon as the crystal came into his hand, a terrifyingly cold power emanated from his palm, instantly freezing one of Ye Chen's arms.
"It really is the Yellow Springs Blood Crystal. Its chilling power is truly terrifying..."
Seeing this, Ye Chen's expression improved. He then shattered the ice crystals with a flick of his arm and stored the blood crystal in his storage ring.
Looking into that expectant gaze, Ye Chen asked, "So, how can I get you out? By destroying these four iron chains?"
These words filled Yao Ming with joy, and he quickly replied, "No need. What binds me is not these chains, but the Yellow Spring Yin Stone at the end of them..."
The Yellow Springs Yin Stone would continuously release a chilling power that would consume my fighting spirit, leaving me in a state of extreme weakness...
At the junction of the iron chain and the mountainside, there is a cleverly concealed mechanism. If you can break it, I can escape.
Ye Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes. He felt like Tang Sanzang rescuing Sun Wukong from the Five Finger Mountain...
Of course, there is a difference between myself and Tang Sanzang. After all, the latter saved a monkey, while I saved a snake.
According to Yao Ming, Ye Chen found the so-called Yellow Spring Yin Stone, but he did not rashly try to break it.
This thing has been tempered by the power of cold and dampness for countless years and is already indestructible. If you want to destroy it by brute force, you can do it, but it will cause a great commotion and easily lead to trouble.
Ye Chen, having already learned that it had condensed into a fine needle, penetrated the Yellow Spring Yin Stone. Relying on the power of the strange fire and the conflict with the Yellow Spring Yin Qi, he easily shattered the Yellow Spring Yin Stone.
……
……
At the same time that Ye Chen helped Yao Ming break the seal, in a magnificent palace in the Nether Serpent Vein, Yao Xiaotian, the king of the Nine Nether Earth Python clan, was discussing something with a group of outsiders.
Yao Xiaotian was quite handsome, but his brows revealed an undisguised chill. His eyes flashed with a sharp light as he slightly opened and closed them, like a venomous snake that could kill in an instant, sending chills down one's spine.
Sitting on the throne, Yao Xiaotian looked at the people hidden in cloaks in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Clearly, the other party seemed to have presented him with a difficult problem, making it hard for him to make a decision.
"Great Elder, what do you think?"
After a long while, Yao Xiaotian looked down at an old man with a bright red venomous snake coiled on his shoulder, frowned slightly, and asked.
The old man also glanced at the cloaked figures and said in a deep voice, "Clan leader, this matter is of great importance. I think it would be better to discuss it with the clan elders..."
Yao Xiaotian nodded, about to agree, when suddenly a thought struck him and his expression changed drastically!
"This is... the seal has broken?"
"Clan leader, what's wrong?" The eldest elder asked hurriedly, seeing this sudden scene.
"The seal that suppressed the demon suddenly broke..." Yao Xiaotian stood up abruptly, his face cold and sinister. A faint voice condensed into a line and entered the ears of the Grand Elder.
"What? How is that possible!" Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's expression changed drastically. He quickly composed himself, glanced discreetly at the cloaked figures, and then whispered, "Go quickly! If that demon escapes, we're doomed! I'll make some arrangements here and come to your aid as soon as possible..."
These cloaked figures are not simple people. If they find out about Yao Ming, it might cause unexpected problems. Therefore, the Grand Elder can only find an excuse to appease them first.
"Don't worry, we won't let him turn around."
Yao Xiaotian gave a sinister smile, then made an excuse and disappeared from the throne.
"Hehe, an elder has something to report, so the clan leader will go and receive him first. Why don't you come with me to the guest room to rest? When the clan leader returns, he will give you a clear answer..."
Seeing Yao Xiaotian leave, the Grand Elder calmed himself down, then stood up and smiled as he reassured everyone in the hall.
……
……
Nine Netherworlds
The rescued Yao Ming is still weak, his fighting spirit is depleted, and he probably can't even defeat a Dou Zong.
However, he looked very pleased. He looked at Ye Chen and laughed loudly, "Haha, I never thought that I, Yao Ming, would actually be able to survive until this day. I will never forget your life-saving grace, young friend. May I ask your name?"
"Ye Chen!"
"Haha, young friend Ye Chen, I will never forget your life-saving grace! As long as I can take my revenge, I will do everything in my power, even if it means using the entire power of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, to help you in the future!" Yao Ming stared intently at Ye Chen and said in a deep voice.
Ye Chen could hear the sincerity in Yao Ming's words, but for him, such sincerity was not reassuring. It was always safest to have complete control in his own hands...
Besides, who knows if this demon will be willing to share the information about the Yellow Springs Stone Tablet, just like in the original story?
Thinking of this, Ye Chen raised his hand and, to Yao Ming's incredulous gaze, imprisoned him. Then, he quickly sped away.
When Ye Chen rushed out of the lake, he saw Cai Die and Qing Lin confronting a man in black...
Because the reason for the Jade Serpent Three Flower Child's existence was exposed, the man in black looked at Qing Lin with such hatred that he wished he could tear her to pieces!
There's no way around it; for snake-type magical beasts, the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Child is a natural enemy. Once they encounter her, they must not allow her to exist, otherwise they will only become puppets of others...
The Nine Netherworld Python's bloodline is inferior to that of the Devouring Python and the Ancient Heavenly Serpent, so it cannot resist the enslavement of the Jade Serpent Three Flower Child, which is why Yao Xiaotian is so insane.
Chapter 468 Unexpected News
Seeing Ye Chen leap out of the Netherworld and the figure he held in his hand that resembled several corpses, Yao Xiaotian immediately understood.
"You little bastard, it's you who ruined my grand plan! No matter who you are, today I will make you die in the Yellow Springs!"
And these two beauties, and this giant python that devours the heavens—if they were to unite with me, they would surely produce even more powerful offspring…
As for the Jade Serpent Flower Child, I will gouge out those eyes and preserve them carefully…”
Upon hearing Yao Xiaotian's words, Her Majesty the Queen, whose face was somewhat pale, immediately glared at him and prepared to lash out.
Ye Chen gently raised his hand to stop her, then tossed the demon he had sealed at Qing Lin's feet and said softly, "Qing Lin, use your Jade Serpent Three Flower Child to enslave this guy... Cai Die, go protect Qing Lin. As for this guy, leave him to me..."
Oh shit!
How dare he talk about his woman like that to his face? If he's not afraid of this dead snake being skinned alive, then he's not Ye Chen!
Seeing Ye Chen's actions, Yao Xiaotian immediately let out a mocking sneer: "Haha, you dare to lay a hand on me?!"
"Very well, then let this Netherworld be your burial place!"
"die!"
As the word was uttered, a vast amount of energy gathered and, under Yao Xiaotian's control, rapidly condensed into a deep yellow finger hundreds of feet long...
The surface of this finger is extremely rough, yet it exudes a faint destructive power. From a distance, it looks like a pillar supporting the sky, towering between heaven and earth.
"One finger to the underworld can end life and death!"
"Yellow Spring Finger!"
Yao Tianxiao sneered as he looked down at Ye Chen, then suddenly pointed his finger...
Suddenly, the enormous Yellow Spring Finger crashed down from the sky with a thunderous roar, causing entire sections of space to collapse. The surrounding deep ravines burst open with huge cracks, and the earth shook violently, as if an earthquake had struck.
"Tsk tsk, the Yellow Spring Finger, the inheritance of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint, a Heaven-rank combat skill..."
Having such a treasure as the Yellow Springs Stone Tablet, Yao Xiaotian, as the patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, naturally couldn't possibly not use it.
However, judging from the Nine Netherworld Pythons and their group, it's probably the limit for them to even learn the Yellow Spring Finger move.
As for the even stronger Yellow Spring Palm or Yellow Spring Heavenly Wrath, those are beyond their reach.
"If that's the case, then you'll have to take one of my Heavenly Rank Battle Techniques..."
"Great Fortune Palm!"
On Ye Chen's right hand, a vast amount of battle qi rapidly gathered, and a point of black light burst forth almost instantly...
The moment the black halo formed, it unleashed a terrifying suction force, causing the boulders in the surrounding deep ravine to break off and eventually be sucked into the halo and disappear completely.
This Great Creation Palm is somewhat similar to Ye Chen's Dragon Devour, but it is slightly inferior in power compared to the latter.
More importantly, the Great Creation Palm requires gathering Qi in advance and also consumes a huge amount of Battle Qi.
If Ye Chen hadn't already broken through to the Dou Sheng level, he would almost never use this type of attack.
Seeing that his Yellow Spring Finger technique was easily absorbed by the opponent's attack, Yao Xiaotian was shocked.
Moreover, he realized that he had been deceived. The guy in front of him was actually a peak two-star Dou Sheng with a cultivation level even higher than his own!
"Wait! Your Excellency, it was all a misunderstanding. Let's stop here for now and go to my Nine Netherworld."
"Let's have a chat within the Python Clan..." Yao Xiaotian hurriedly raised his hand and said urgently.
"What a misunderstanding!"
Ye Chen let out a furious curse and disappeared from the spot in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already above Yao Xiaotian's head, and then he suppressed him with a palm!
"You...are outrageous!"
Seeing that even after he had backed down, the other party was still so aggressive, Yao Xiaotian was furious.
However, faced with the gap in raw strength, he could only be broken and resisted.
"Once the Grand Elder arrives with the experts of my Nine Netherworld Python Clan to provide support, we'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
Of course, Ye Chen would never let him wait until that time...
An invisible soul fragment traversed space with extreme concealment and instantly entered Yao Xiaotian's forehead.
With Ye Chen's current Heavenly Realm Great Perfection soul power, he directly brought Yao Xiaotian's movements to a standstill. Although this pause was only for a moment, it was enough for Ye Chen to seize the opportunity and severely injure his opponent. Afterwards, he and his unlucky older brother were sealed and thrown to the ground, waiting for Qing Lin to enslave them.
Only then did the Grand Elder arrive with the powerful members of the Nine Netherworld Python clan.
Moreover, because the matter of Yao Ming was top secret, the Grand Elder only brought his trusted confidants, so there weren't many people...
As for the result, it's already quite clear.
With Ye Chen dealing with the Grand Elder, the powerful members of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan were directly suppressed by Cai Die using their bloodlines, and they had no desire to resist at all.
And so, after Qinglin finally enslaved the three strongest members of the Nine Netherworld Python, everything here was completely in Ye Chen's hands.
Several days later, looking at the three people standing beside Qing Lin with blank stares, all the powerful members of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan had complex expressions, and their eyes were also filled with fear...
This fear stemmed from both the overwhelming pressure emanating from Her Majesty the Queen's Devouring Python bloodline and the terrifying demon child, the Jade Serpent Three Flower Child, who was a fearsome creature even to serpentine magical beasts!
"From now on, Yao Ming will be your new clan leader. As for the outside world, say that Yao Xiaotian and the Grand Elder jointly sealed away the previous clan leader, Yao Ming, and that Yao Ming eventually broke through the seal and regained the position of elder..."
Ye Chen looked at the group of powerful members of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan below and said in a deep voice.
"Yes……!"
Everyone lowered their heads and gave a silent reply.
It wasn't that they betrayed their race, but rather that those who dared to resist had all been eliminated by Ye Chen and Cai Die during this period.
In any case, it was just a matter of giving the Nine Netherworld Python Clan a new master. Ye Chen did not show any intention to exterminate them, so these people behaved very obediently.
Moreover, after witnessing the Sky-Devouring Python like the Butterfly, quite a few people even felt that surrendering to it might not be such a bad idea...
In any case, the Devouring Python is the king of snake-type magical beasts.
After enslaving Yao Xiaotian and the Grand Elder, Qinglin received an unexpected piece of news from them...
"You mean, members of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan have come to the Nine Netherworld Python Sect, wanting to join forces with them?" Ye Chen looked at the pretty Qing Lin beside him and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Qinglin nodded and said, "Yes, and those ancient dragons are still in the Nether Serpent Vein..."
"That's it..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen nodded thoughtfully, considering the current situation of the Ancient Void Dragon.
