Chapter 322 Fierce Battle Saint

He was deeply mired in the sludge, his limbs and neck tightly locked by four massive iron chains.

His entire body hung there in an extremely painful posture.

The skin on his body was as withered as old tree bark, clinging tightly to his bones, with almost no flesh or blood visible.

Were it not for his faint, intermittent breathing and the weak fluctuation deep within his Soul, anyone would have thought this was just a skeleton that had been dead for many years.

Yao Ming.

The true Clan Chief of the Nine Serene Earth Nether Python, he had been sealed here for hundreds of years, eroded day and night by the yellow springs yin stone, cruelly tortured from a powerful Dou Sheng into his current state.

Shen Wen did not delay.

He walked to the end of one of the iron chains, where a fist-sized black crystal was embedded, continuously emitting a chilling, cold power.

yellow springs yin stone.

It was this very thing that maintained the operation of the Sealing Grand Formation.

Shen Wen raised his hand, and a pitch-black light emerged from his palm.

devouring ancestral talisman.

A deep black vortex formed in his palm, and a terrifying suction force instantly enveloped the yellow springs yin stone.

The energy within the crystal poured out like a flood breaking through a dam, all of it absorbed by the devouring ancestral talisman.

In just a few breaths, the crystal turned from pitch-black to grayish-white, finally shattering with a "crack."

The moment all the crystals shattered, the four massive iron chains trembled violently at the same time.

The runes on the chains began to destabilize and collapse, and cracks spread from the ends, soon covering the entire length of the chains.

"Boom—"

With a dull, thunderous roar, the four iron chains exploded simultaneously, turning into countless pitch-black fragments that flew in all directions.

Freed from his restraints, Yao Ming's body fell from mid-air.

Shen Wen raised his hand, and a gentle force caught him, lightly placing him on the ground.

He took out a prepared jade bottle from his storage ring, uncorked it, and poured all the Medicinal Pills inside into Yao Ming's mouth.

Those Medicinal Pills were what he had refined during the past month in the Shennong Mountain Range, specifically targeting the restoration of the Soul and Physical Body.

There were soul restoration pills, mysterious origin pills, and several Tier 8 Healing Pills, each of which was worth a fortune.

The Medicinal Pills melted upon entry, turning into gentle medicinal power that surged into Yao Ming's body.

That body, as withered as a skeleton, began to undergo a change.

Beneath the shriveled skin, a faint blood-red color appeared. His collapsed chest began to rise and fall slightly, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

His heartbeat, which had been almost undetectable, began to grow strong.

Time passed minute by minute.

Yao Ming's withered body trembled slightly as the medicinal power from those Medicinal Pills circulated wildly within him, repairing the flesh, blood, and Soul that had been eroded by the yellow springs yin stone for hundreds of years.

Shen Wen stood to the side, watching quietly.

Just then, an incredibly terrifying pressure suddenly descended from above!

That pressure was as vast as the sea, carrying a chilling and domineering aura originating from deep within the Bloodline, instantly enveloping the entire bottom of the Yellow Springs.

"How bold!"

A low, cold voice exploded in the space.

Shen Wen looked up.

A figure was slowly descending from above.

It was a middle-aged man with a burly build, wearing a black robe and a sinister expression.

His eyes were deep black. As his gaze fell upon the withered body below, his pupils shrank slightly, and then turned into a sky-toppling killing intent.

Yao Xiaotian.

The current Clan Chief of the Nine Serene Earth Nether Python, a One-Star Dou Sheng.

"I wondered who would dare to intrude into the Nine Serene Yellow Springs..."

Yao Xiaotian's voice was low, carrying an irrepressible rage, "It turns out someone is plotting against this fellow."

He moved his gaze from Yao Ming to Shen Wen, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Dou Zong?

A Dou Zong could actually sneak into the depths of the Nine Serene Yellow Springs?

The chilling power of this place, if one were not of the Nine Serene Earth Nether Python tribe, even a Peak Dou Zun would be unable to withstand it.

How did this Human Race brat get down here?

But he quickly suppressed that thought.

No matter how he got down, he would die here today.

"No matter how you found out this fellow was here, you dare to release him? You're looking for death!!"

As his words fell, that Dou Sheng pressure crushed down like something physical!

He didn't waste any more words.

No matter how Shen Wen had come down, or what his purpose was, since he dared to release Yao Ming, there was only one path: death.

Dou Zong?

In his eyes, he wasn't even as significant as an ant.

That pressure bore down like a mountain, and wherever it passed, the surrounding space began to distort and collapse.

If it were an ordinary Dou Zong, they would have been crushed into meat paste by this alone.

However, the moment that pressure was about to land on Shen Wen—

"Roar—!"

A low Dragon's roar suddenly sounded from within Shen Wen's body!

His form began to change.

Purple-green scales emerged from beneath his skin, spreading from his neck to his cheeks, then to his forehead, finally meeting at the center of his brows.

A faint runic light flowed over those scales, winding and twisting as if True Dragons were swimming across them.

The power of the Azure Heaven Hegemon Body surged from deep within his Bloodline, and nine divine form phantoms appeared behind him simultaneously!

The nine phantoms were of different shapes—all Nine Divine Forms appeared together!

Immediately after, a pale golden Buddhist light radiated from within his body.

The power of the Present Tathagata Sutra intertwined with the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art, causing his Physical Body's strength to climb to the absolute limit in an instant!

But that was not enough.

Shen Wen raised his hand, and three ancestral talisman phantoms appeared behind him at the same time—

The Flame Ancestral Symbol, red as blood.

The space ancestral talisman, deep and silvery-gray.

The devouring ancestral talisman, pitch-black as ink.

"Ancestral Talisman Three Mysterious Transformations—"

His low voice echoed through the space.

"Flame Talisman Transformation!"

His aura surged, instantly breaking through the Dou Zun barrier.

"Space Transformation!"

His aura rose again, surging straight to Five-Star Dou Zun!

"Devouring Transformation!"

The power of the three ancestral talismans resonated simultaneously, and that aura, which had already climbed to Five-Star Dou Zun, actually surged once more!

Six-star, seven-star, eight-star, nine-star—

It surged all the way to the Peak of Nine-Star Dou Zun before the rising momentum finally slowed.

Shen Wen stood suspended in the air, surrounded by the nine divine form phantoms, with the three ancestral talisman phantoms behind him reflecting each other's light. The purple-green Dragon scales on his body flickered with a cold luster in the darkness.

Peak Nine-Star Dou Zun.

Only a step away from Dou Sheng.

Yao Xiaotian was stunned.

He had lived for hundreds of years and seen countless Geniuses and secret techniques.

But one that could jump directly from Eight Star Dou Zong to the Peak of Nine-Star Dou Zun—

He had never seen such a thing.

"How is that possible?!"

Yao Xiaotian's voice was filled with disbelief.

However, at the moment of his shock, Shen Wen moved.

He raised his hand, and a simple, unadorned stone tablet flew out from his palm, expanding rapidly!

great desolation monument.

The stone tablet was grayish-brown all over, its surface covered with dense runes. Every rune lit up at this moment, emitting a vast and ancient aura.

The stone tablet met the crushing Dou Sheng pressure. At the moment of impact—

"Boom—!"

A deafening roar!

Violent energy fluctuations exploded from the point of impact, sweeping out in all directions!
