Chapter 318 The Eighteen-Colored Sky-Swallowing Divine Python Clan!
Hearing the inner disciples' discussion, Xiao Yan didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, how many denials and ridicules have I heard along the way?
As for defending oneself, that is the most incompetent and powerless counterattack.
Three years of being a useless person had already honed his character to an extraordinary degree.
"Eleventh Junior Brother, don't be afraid."
At this moment, Xiao Shihao stepped forward and patted Xiao Yan's knee.
"Master has laid down laws in this Dragon Transformation Pool. The pool water will automatically adjust its pressure according to the limits of your physical body."
"It will hurt a lot, a lot, but it will never kill you."
"Keep alive."
"As long as you get through this, your physical body will undergo a complete transformation."
"By then, you'll be able to swing 100,000 jin with one arm, just like me!"
Hearing Shi Hao's words of comfort, Xiao Yan also took a deep breath.
Then he turned his head to look at the old doctor beside him.
He thought of his father, Xiao Zhan, who was far away on the Dou Qi Continent, and Xun'er, who had always silently supported him.
"teacher."
Xiao Yan's gaze became more resolute than ever before.
"This disciple has gone."
After saying that, Xiao Yan suddenly took off his shirt, revealing his not-so-strong upper body.
He ignored the gazes of the Celestial Court disciples around him, who looked at him as if he were already dead.
One step, two steps.
Xiao Yan, bracing himself against the overwhelming pressure that seemed to crush him, walked straight to the edge of the Dragon Transformation Pool.
Looking down at the swirling illusions of true dragons and immortal phoenixes, the boiling true blood resembled a purgatory.
Xiao Yan did not hesitate at all.
He took the leap!
"Thump!"
With a muffled splash of water, Xiao Yan's body was completely submerged in the colorful true blood.
"He jumped in?"
On the jade platform, the disciples raised their eyebrows at the sight.
"He's got some nerve, but unfortunately he's a fool who doesn't know his own mortality."
"I bet he won't last ten breaths before he loses consciousness from the pain and is ejected from the formation!"
"Ten breaths? You overestimate this lowly ant."
Another disciple held up a finger, his face full of mockery.
"At most, it will take the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
"If it takes more than an incense stick to burn, I'll give you all the Immortal Marrow Pills I received this month!"
"Alright! I'll bet half an incense stick's time!"
For a time, these inner disciples actually started betting on the time Xiao Yan had persisted in.
In their view, for a mortal who hadn't even reached the Blood Transformation Realm to jump into the Evolution Dragon Pool was simply courting death.
Inside the Dragon Transformation Pool, Xiao Yan had just sunk into the water.
An indescribable, excruciating pain instantly struck.
"ah!!!"
That was the blood of a true dragon, the blood of a celestial phoenix, and fragments of the Great Dao contained in the blood of countless divine beasts, frantically cleansing his body.
However, the Immortal Lord controlled him well with great magic, preventing him from dying and his soul from being destroyed.
Slowly, Xiao Yan let out a scream, but not a single bubble rose from the boiling water.
His skin cracked instantly, and the blood that had just spilled out was evaporated by the terrifyingly high temperature of the pool water.
pain!
The pain is unbearable!
But just as Xiao Yan's consciousness was about to sink into complete darkness, the image of Jiang Chen sitting high in the Immortal Lord's Palace, overlooking all the heavens and myriad worlds, suddenly appeared in his mind.
And all my lovers and friends on the Dou Qi Continent.
"I can't lose..."
Thinking of all this, Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes in the blood, his eyes bloodshot.
"I, Xiao Yan, even survived three years of being a useless person!"
"This mere pool of bathwater..."
"Don't even think about making me bow down!!!"
After saying that, Xiao Yan bit his tongue hard, using the intense pain to forcefully awaken his collapsing will.
Instead of struggling to swim upstream, he forced himself to sit cross-legged in the deepest part of the Dragon Transformation Pool, going against the raging current of true blood.
He let the true blood of countless divine beasts rage within his body, and let his bones shatter and reform.
He remained unmoved!
...
Meanwhile, on the other side...
As another dazzling golden beam of light slowly dissipated, a new scene gradually emerged.
Perfect World, Immortal Realm.
The Land of Ten Thousand Serpents, an ancient land that swallows the heavens.
This is a wild mountain range that is shrouded in chaotic immortal mist all year round. Each peak is like an ancient giant serpent coiled up, piercing straight into the sky.
The water flowing in the mountain stream was not ordinary water, but an extremely concentrated immortal elixir that had even turned into liquid.
"Buzz!"
As a spatial ripple spread outwards, Queen Medusa's alluring figure fell from the void and landed steadily on a jade platform halfway up the mountain.
As soon as she landed, Medusa's eyebrows furrowed sharply.
The moment her long, slender snake tail, covered in purple scales, touched the ground, it emitted a faint cracking sound as if it could no longer bear the weight.
"The laws of this world..."
Medusa bit her red lips, and a pallor instantly appeared on her stunningly beautiful face, which was cold and noble enough to make countless powerful figures in the Gama Empire fall in love.
It's too heavy!
The spatial density and gravity here are even more terrifying than the magma beneath the Tagor Desert!
Not only that, even the Dou Huang peak Dou Qi that she was so proud of was suppressed here, and she couldn't even break out of her body.
She could only rely on the powerful physical instincts of the snake people to hold onto the jade platform with her snake tail, barely managing not to kneel down.
Medusa was breathing slightly, her long, narrow eyes warily scanning her surroundings.
High mountains and flowing water, towering immortal trees.
The air was filled with a strange, sweet fragrance that made her blood surge wildly.
Suddenly, it got dark.
Medusa instinctively raised her head, but her purple pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinpoints.
Above the sky, the once brilliant sun was completely obscured by a shadow so vast it defied description.
That's a snake!
A terrifying giant serpent whose length is unknown, so enormous that it could surround the stars!
The scales on this giant python were not a single color, but rather flowed with eighteen dazzling colors, as if representing the strange luster of eighteen great principles in the world.
The giant python simply rolled over lazily in the clouds, and the surrounding void shattered inch by inch, revealing vast expanses of dark spatial turbulence.
"What...what level of magical beast is that?!"
At this moment, even Queen Medusa's heart was pounding wildly.
She considered herself the queen of the Tagor Desert, but in front of this eighteen-colored giant python, she felt that she was not even a speck of dust.
That crushing force, originating from the depths of her blood, made her proud head feel, for the first time in her life, the urge to bow down.
"Huh?"
However, just as Medusa was utterly stunned by the giant serpent in the sky...
A clear voice, tinged with a hint of doubt, suddenly rang out behind her.
Medusa's scales stood on end, and she suddenly turned around.
Before anyone knew it, two women dressed in blue armor had silently appeared on the jade platform.
To Medusa's astonishment, the lower bodies of both women were also long snake tails.
However, their snake tails shimmered with a faint tricolor sheen.
Snake Man?
Medusa was startled.
However, the aura that these two people casually emanated was countless times more terrifying than the legendary Dou Sheng of the Dou Qi Continent!
"People from the lower realms?"
One of the three-colored snake women looked Medusa up and down, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as she looked at Medusa's disheveled appearance as she struggled against gravity.
"How strange! How could a lower realm snake clan suddenly fall from the sky into the ancestral land of my Devouring Python clan?"
Another snake woman stepped forward, her gaze falling on Medusa's purple snake tail, and her nose twitched slightly.
"Such a thin bloodline..."
"wrong!"
The snake woman's expression suddenly changed, and her previously relaxed gaze instantly turned serious.
"Although the bloodline within her is so weak that it's not even as strong as that of a Cave Heaven Realm cultivator, that aura actually contains a trace of pure Devouring Heaven Power!"
Upon hearing the words "power to devour the heavens," even the snake woman who spoke first couldn't help but gasp.
"Pure Devouring Origin? How is that possible!"
"Apart from our ancestors, even those royal families within our clan who possess eight-colored or nine-colored bloodlines could not possibly have such a pure Devouring Heaven Origin!"
Seeing this, the two snake women at the Divine Fire Realm exchanged a glance, both recognizing the shock in each other's eyes.
However, Medusa couldn't understand what they were saying at all.
But her pride as a queen wouldn't allow her to sit idly by and wait for her doom.
She gritted her teeth and forcefully activated the nearly solidified battle qi within her body. A purple battle qi longsword slowly condensed in her palm, and she stared coldly at the two people in front of her.
"I don't care who you are."
Medusa's voice was cold and aloof.
"Those who block my path shall die."
Looking at Medusa, who was putting on a brave face and threatening with her sword raised, I could see her.
The two snake women at the Divine Fire Realm did not get angry; instead, they couldn't help but chuckle.
"He has quite a fiery temper, just like someone from our Divine Python clan."
A snake woman smiled and shook her head.
"Little girl, your power is so weak that you can't even cut the fallen leaves on this sacred mountain. You should put it away."
However, just as Medusa was preparing to fight to the death...
"when!"
A melodious bell suddenly rang out from the deepest part of the Myriad Serpent Immortal Continent.
The moment the bell rang, Medusa felt the terrifying spatial gravity around her recede like a tide in an instant.
However, Medusa had no time to breathe a sigh of relief.
An invisible sound wave contained within the bell's tolling swept gently across the purple battle-qi longsword in her hand, like a breeze brushing across the water's surface.
With a crack, Medusa's longsword, formed from all her battle qi, shattered into countless purple specks after being swept by the faint sound wave, dissipating in the wind.
Medusa's red lips parted slightly, her hand holding the sword still suspended in mid-air.
A deep sense of powerlessness finally welled up uncontrollably in her proud eyes.
The aftershock of just one bell chime was enough to shatter her strongest defenses.
In this world, her proud peak Douhuang cultivation level is also insufficient.
Upon seeing Medusa's astonished expression, the two tricolor snake women in front of her exchanged a glance.
One of them casually waved his hand and said:
"Don't be nervous, little girl."
"That was just the Blood Gathering Bell that the outer elders rang; it wasn't directed at you."
The snake woman looked Medusa up and down, her gaze lingering on her purple snake tail, her eyes still filled with curiosity.
"With your meager cultivation level and chaotic energy system, even if you threw it into the back mountain to feed those pure-blooded ferocious beasts, they would probably find it too hard to chew."
"but..."
At this point, the snake woman suddenly changed her tone, her voice becoming more serious:
"The trace of the Devouring Heaven Origin within you is quite interesting."
"Our Devouring Python clan has always valued bloodlines above all else."
"Even if you come from a wasteland like the lower realm, as long as you have a trace of Devouring Heaven Blood, you are qualified to stay here."
The other snake woman nodded and then said:
"You're lucky."
"Today is the day that the Ten Thousand Serpents Blood Transformation Pool in the Outer Mountain opens once every ten years."
"According to clan rules, those mixed-blood snake clan members who have been separated from the clan, or those from peripheral branches, are qualified to enter the baptism of their physical bodies."
"It is fate that we met, so we sisters will take you along and let you enter the Blood Transformation Pool in the outer mountain."
"As for whether you can survive the raging beast blood, whether you can use it to condense a bone inscription of your own and truly step into the threshold of cultivation in this world..."
"That depends entirely on your own fate."
"If they don't survive, they'll turn into a pool of blood in the pond, serving as nourishment for the other tribesmen."
After listening to the words of the two snake women at the Divine Fire Realm, Medusa slowly withdrew her hand that was suspended in mid-air, and her tense body gradually relaxed.
As the supreme queen of the Tagor Desert, she understood the cruelty of the law of the jungle better than anyone else.
anger?
Self-esteem?
It is utterly worthless in the face of absolute power.
These two seemingly young snake women could be crushed into a bloody mist with just a finger, not to mention the enormous eighteen-colored python in the sky that could circle the stars.
She knew that here she was no longer the high and mighty queen, and that she had to fight for what she wanted.
Otherwise, just as the two snake women said, they would be turned into nourishment.
Thinking of this, Medusa seemed to have made up her mind:
"Lead the way."
Seeing that Medusa accepted reality so quickly and put away her hostility, a hint of admiration flashed in the eyes of the two tricolor snake women.
"His temperament is quite good."
"Stay close."
Without saying a word, the two snake women unleashed a surge of azure divine light that instantly enveloped Medusa.
The next second, the three of them transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the air and speeding towards the depths of the desolate mountain range.
Enveloped by divine light, Medusa weaved through the clouds, looking down at the scene below.
This sight made her breathing quicken again.
Below, the desolate ancient forest is filled with towering ancient trees, each one thicker than the mountains of the Dou Qi Continent.
Suddenly, the sea of clouds below was violently torn apart, and a terrifying creature suddenly rose into the air.
