Chapter 325 Killing the Grand Elder

Yao Xiaotian's pupils constricted slightly.

Relinquish control of his mind?

He naturally knew what that meant.

In this world, there were some insidious Dou Techniques that could leave a brand on a person's Soul, placing their life or death within another's One Thought from then on.

He was a Dou Sheng and the Clan Chief of the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan; how could he possibly accept being controlled?

But looking at the person and snake before him, and then at his own wretched state, Yao Xiaotian gritted his teeth.

He would agree for now.

As long as he lived, there would be a chance.

He was a Dou Sheng with a powerful Bloodline and a resilient Soul.

That kid was only a Nine-Star Dou Zong; even if he had some means of controlling people, he might not truly be able to restrain him.

Once he found an opportunity in the future to break the control, it wouldn't be too late to seek revenge.

Yao Xiaotian took a deep breath, withdrew his aura, and opened his mind.

"Come then."

Shen Wen glanced at him and raised his hand.

A warm golden light lit up in his palm.

Great Universal Salvation Technique.

The golden light surged out like a tide, rushing straight into the depths of Yao Xiaotian's Soul.

Yao Xiaotian's body suddenly stiffened.

That power was gentle yet domineering, directly washing over his will, memories, and emotions—

He instinctively wanted to resist.

He was a Dou Sheng; how could he be willing to be controlled by another?

However, at the very moment he prepared to resist.

"Presumptuous!"

An angry shout suddenly exploded!

Several terrifying auras descended from above, landing at the bottom of the Yellow Springs in the blink of an eye!

Leading them was a grey-robed old man with a sinister face and an aura as vast as the sea, even a fraction stronger than Yao Xiaotian.

One-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage.

Behind him followed dozens of figures, each at the Dou Zun level, wearing uniform black armor and holding long spears, brimming with Killing Intent.

Nether Serpent Guards.

The most elite force of the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan.

The grey-robed old man's gaze swept over, landing on Yao Ming. His pupils constricted slightly before turning into sky-toppling Killing Intent.

"What lowly scoundrels dare to impersonate the former Clan Chief of my clan!" he shouted harshly. "Nether Serpent Guards, slay these two arrogant fools for me!"

As his voice fell, those dozens of figures moved simultaneously!

They formed a battle formation and charged toward Shen Wen and Yao Ming!

Seeing this, Yao Xiaotian's eyes immediately flashed with a look of wild joy.

He struggled to retreat, breaking free from the golden light that had not yet fully formed, and shouted, "Grand Elder! Quick! These two have conspired with a human, attempting to subvert our Nine Serene Earth Python Clan!

Join forces with me to slay them!"

Hearing this, the grey-robed old man's aura surged, and he struck a palm toward Shen Wen!

That palm was cold and ruthless, carrying the full-strength blow of a One-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage. Anyone who wasn't a Dou Sheng would die instantly.

Yao Xiaotian also took the opportunity to strike again. Although his injuries were not light, cooperating with the Grand Elder would be enough to completely finish off this human and the crippled Dou Sheng!

However, at this very moment—

Shen Wen smiled.

That smile held a bit of coldness and a bit of mockery.

"I was just waiting for you, old thing."

The moment his words fell.

An ancient disk flew out from within his body, expanding rapidly against the wind!

The disk was dark gold throughout, about ten feet in diameter, its surface densely engraved with countless profound runes.

Every rune lit up at this moment, emitting a vast and ancient aura.

king destroyer celestial disk.

With a thought from Shen Wen, six ancestral talisman phantoms appeared within his body simultaneously—

The moment the six ancestral talisman phantoms appeared, they were drawn as if by a magnetic force, all falling into the king destroyer celestial disk!

The next moment—

A fluctuation terrifying to the extreme erupted from the king destroyer celestial disk!

That fluctuation was as vast as the sea and as deep as an abyss, carrying an unspeakable majesty, as if heaven and earth were to submit at this moment!

The surrounding air instantly solidified.

Those charging Nether Serpent Guards suddenly froze in place, as if they had been fixed there, unable to move a single inch.

The palm strike from the grey-robed old man was forcibly shattered by that fluctuation when it was still ten yards from Shen Wen, dissipating into a sky full of light specks.

The wild joy on Yao Xiaotian's face completely froze at this moment.

He opened his mouth to say something, but found his throat seemingly gripped by an invisible giant hand, unable to make any sound.

That fluctuation...

That was a fluctuation that only a Mid-Stage Dou Sheng could emit!

How was that possible?!

He suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Wen, his gaze filled with unbelievable terror.

This Human Race kid was only a Nine-Star Dou Zun; how could he erupt with an attack of a Mid-Stage Dou Sheng?!

But that fluctuation would not lie.

On the king destroyer celestial disk, the six ancestral talisman phantoms rotated slowly, intertwining and resonating with each other.

The dark gold body of the disk was now blindingly bright, with countless runes moving across the surface; every rotation made that fluctuation a notch stronger.

The Grand Elder's figure was frozen in place, as the fluctuation pouring from the king destroyer celestial disk was like an invisible giant hand gripping him tightly.

He wanted to flee.

His Two-Star Dou Sheng cultivation operated frantically at this moment, Space Power surging as he tried to tear open the Void Realm behind him to escape.

But it was useless.

That fluctuation was too vast; wherever it passed, space was like solidified amber, unable to even produce a single ripple.

The Grand Elder's face completely changed.

"No—"

He gave a low roar and struck out a palm!

This palm used all his strength; the pitch-black palm print was a hundred yards large, carrying all his power as a Two-Star Dou Sheng as it slammed toward the dark gold disk floating in mid-air!

At the same time, the Bloodline Power within him boiled, and a giant black snake shadow appeared behind him, opening its bloody maw to bite toward Shen Wen!

He was fighting for his life.

Shen Wen's expression remained unchanged as he simply pointed a finger lightly.

The king destroyer celestial disk trembled slightly.

The next moment—

A dark gold light pillar erupted from the center of the disk!

The light pillar was over ten feet thick; wherever it passed, space was easily torn like fragile paper, revealing the pitch-black void.

The palm print the Grand Elder struck out couldn't even last a single breath upon touching the light pillar, melting away silently like lingering snow under a blazing sun.

The black snake shadow was even more wretched; before it could even get within ten feet of the light pillar, it was shattered inch by inch by that terrifying power, dissipating into a sky of black mist.

"How is it possible—"

The Grand Elder's eyes widened, and before he could finish his sentence, the light pillar was already before him.

He wanted to dodge.

But the power locking onto him was like a maggot on a bone, impossible to shake off.

He could only watch helplessly as that dark gold light drew closer and closer—

And then, completely submerged him.

There was no scream.

There was no boom.

Only a low muffled sound, like a giant stone falling into a deep pool.

The dark gold light exploded, turning into countless fine threads of light that swept in all directions!

Wherever those threads of light passed, everything was annihilated.

The water of the Nine Serene Yellow Springs, the pitch-black river water that had been eroded by cold power for countless years, now erupted as if boiling!

One water column after another shot into the sky, each a hundred yards high, carrying cold power enough to freeze an ordinary Dou Zun into an ice sculpture, yet they were instantly evaporated into nothingness under the cutting of those light threads.

The black sand and stones at the river bottom, which had been soaked by the yellow springs yin stone for countless years, were now like fragile grains of sand, turning into powder under the impact of the light threads.

The surrounding rock walls, which had withstood the erosion of cold power for countless years and were harder than steel, now collapsed with a crash.

One huge rock after another tumbled down, but before they could hit the ground, they were sliced into countless fragments by those light threads and dissipated into the air.

The entire Nine Serene Yellow Springs area, this Holy Land that had existed for an unknown number of millennia and was revered by countless Nine Serene Earth Python clansmen, was currently collapsing.

Rumble—

Deafening roars continued one after another.

The river water exploded, the rock walls collapsed, and the ground cracked.

The Nine Serene Yellow Springs, which were originally enough to make it difficult for even a Dou Sheng to cause effective damage.

Under this strike of the king destroyer celestial disk, they were like paper, fragile and unable to withstand a single blow.

And at the very center of that light pillar—

The Grand Elder's figure had long since dissipated without a trace.

No corpse, no flesh, not even a trace of aura remained.

It was as if he had never been in this world.

The light pillar lasted for about three breaths before finally slowly dissipating.

The light on the king destroyer celestial disk dimmed, and the six ancestral talisman phantoms each returned, merging back into Shen Wen's body.
