"You all may go."
After giving out his orders, Yao Ming waved his hand, signaling the many experts to retreat.
"Yes."
The numerous Nine Serene Deep Ground Python experts responded in unison before leaving the abyss.
Right after, Yao Ming walked up to Wei Yang and bowed slightly: "Master, everything has been arranged. I believe the entire Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan will soon fall completely under my control."
"Mm." Wei Yang nodded.
With Yao Xiaotian dead and the Grand Elder suppressed and sealed, it was naturally not difficult for Yao Ming to take control of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan.
"I wonder… have you ever heard of the Demon Saint Huang Quan?" Yao Ming pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked.
"Oh?" Wei Yang raised an eyebrow.
"Demon Saint Huang Quan?"
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then his expression shifted slightly: "You mean that ancient figure who once had half a foot stepped into the Dou Di realm, the legendary Demon Saint Huang Quan?"
"Judging from the Dou Technique you used earlier, I had a guess. It seems that this legendary existence is related to your Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan?" Wei Yang asked with a smile.
"Master, although the Demon Saint Huang Quan was not one of our clansmen, he indeed shares a deep connection with our clan."
Yao Ming smiled as he replied, "Back then, when that peerless powerhouse fell, the inheritance he left behind gradually faded away through the years."
"However, within our Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan, there exists a Yellow Spring Stone Tablet. It has been passed down since ancient times. Within that stone tablet is recorded everything Demon Saint Huang Quan learned throughout his life. It is even said that deep within the stele, a drop of the Demon Saint's blood essence still remains."
"Blood Essence!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Yang and the others finally showed real shock. It was said that the Demon Saint Huang Quan had reached the half-step Dou Di level. At such a level, the bloodline within one's body would begin to transform and evolve.
If he had successfully taken that final step into the Dou Di realm, then his descendants would have enjoyed the blessings of that bloodline, flourishing for generations. Another ancient imperial clan would have been born.
Unfortunately, that final step eluded him even until the day he perished.
As such, his descendants naturally never received such a blessing. However, even if his bloodline never brought fortune to future generations, the Blood Essence of the Demon Saint Huang Quan himself was still an incredible treasure to any Dou Sheng.
If one could obtain it, their strength would surely experience a notable increase.
"Since such a great opportunity lies hidden within the Yellow Springs Stone Tablet, why has no one from the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan ever retrieved it?" Xiao Yan asked.
His heart burned slightly at the thought — the temptation of the Demon Saint's Blood Essence was immense. But he quickly calmed himself and questioned further.
"Hehe, Brother Xiao Yan is cautious."
Yao Ming smiled: "The Yellow Spring Stone Tablet is the clan's supreme treasure. Carved upon it are three Dou Techniques: Yellow Spring Finger and Yellow Spring Palm. The former is a Low-Level Heaven Grade Dou Technique, and the latter is Mid-Level Heaven Grade. Both are extremely powerful, but only the patriarch and a few select elders are allowed to cultivate them."
"Yellow Spring Finger and Yellow Spring Palm… then the final one should be that Yellow Spring Great Seal you used earlier?" Xiao Yan asked, nodding thoughtfully. He did not show any particular greed.
Low-Level Heaven Grade and Mid-Level Heaven Grade Dou Techniques were indeed strong, but to them, they were not overly tempting. After all, they already possessed more than a few Heaven Grade Dou Techniques.
Moreover, both Wei Yang and Xiao Yan had already created Heaven-rank techniques most suited to themselves, and not just one. The Demon Saint Huang Quan's Dou Techniques leaned heavily toward the cold and sinister type, which did not suit them.
"The Yellow Spring Great Seal is not one of them. It is merely a technique my clan patriarchs created over the generations, based on the Yellow Springs Palm, and then adapted using the environment of the Nine Serene Springs. It is simply a small, modified variation."
Yao Ming shook his head and smiled: "The final Dou Technique is called Yellow Spring Divine Anger, a High-Level Heaven Grade technique."
"Yellow Spring Divine Anger, High-Level Heaven Grade?" Everyone was shocked.
Ah Da suddenly slapped his forehead: "I remember now! The legends said, Yellow Spring Finger severs life and death, Yellow Spring Palm shatters the soul! The most famous technique of the Demon Saint Huang Quan — Yellow Spring Divine Anger!"
"Hehe, yes. It is indeed the strongest technique of the Demon Saint Huang Quan — Yellow Spring Divine Anger," Yao Ming said with a nod and a smile toward Ah Da.
"Sss~"
Both Wei Yang and Xiao Yan couldn't help feeling tempted.
Yellow Spring Divine Anger was, to be precise, a soundwave Dou Technique — and not only that, a High-Level Heaven Grade soundwave technique. Soundwave techniques had very few attribute restrictions.
According to ancient records, in that era, even peak Dou Sheng experts would turn pale at the mere mention of Yellow Spring Divine Anger.
Among those peak experts who died at the hands of the Demon Saint Huang Quan, nine out of ten were shattered into death by the soul-crushing power of Yellow Spring Divine Anger!
A High-Level Heaven Grade technique, and one that targets the soul — that alone was terrifying. This was also the first time in all these years that Wei Yang and the others had encountered a Dou Technique of this level.
Based on Wei Yang's estimation, even his self-created Life and Death Millstone or Xiao Yan's Angry Buddha Reincarnation were likely somewhat inferior in raw power to Yellow Spring Divine Anger.
Of course, this was only speculation — none of them had ever witnessed the true might of a High-Level Heaven Grade technique, so they had no solid basis for comparison. They could only estimate based on the known power of Heaven-rank mid-grade techniques.
Life and Death Millstone and Angry Buddha Reincarnation indeed exceeded Heaven-rank mid-grade techniques in strength, but whether they had stepped into the true threshold of High-Level Heaven Grade… it was hard to say for now.
Were those self-created techniques using a higher level of power?
Please — once you reach High-Level Heaven Grade, nothing is simple. Any technique capable of reaching this level has already reached the stage where technique approaches Dao.
Someone like the Demon Saint Huang Quan, a half-step Dou Di, had long since understood his own path and walked his own Dao.
In terms of raw destructive force, Yellow Spring Divine Anger might not surpass Life and Death Millstone and Angry Buddha Reincarnation by too much —but Yellow Spring Divine Anger was primarily a soul-targeting soundwave technique.
That was the real horror. The real despair.
With one roar, even a cultivator of the same realm would suffer severe soul injuries if caught off guard. Everyone knew — the soul is the foundation of a person. If the soul is heavily damaged, the aftereffects are far more severe than any physical wound.
Without a doubt, mastering Yellow Spring Divine Anger would give them a terrifying new trump card. Even opponents two or three stars higher than Wei Yang or Xiao Yan would suffer greatly if they were unprepared.
While not a soul technique, Yellow Spring Divine Anger was, in some ways, even more terrifying than a true soul technique. Soul techniques rely on your own soul power. If your soul power is weaker than your opponent's, the technique's effect will be greatly reduced.
As everyone knew, improving the soul realm was far more difficult than increasing one's Dou Qi realm. But Yellow Spring Divine Anger used Dou Qi to form a special soundwave that directly attacked the soul and that was terrifying.
Soul power was hard to raise, but Dou Qi? Much easier.
Mastering this Dou Technique was basically cheating — a dimensional-reduction attack. Using Dou Qi to strike directly at someone's soul defenses… how do you block that?
