Chapter 461: Ten Thousand Snake Grand Formation, Nine Serene Abyssal Staff
With a whip of its tail, the black giant seal suddenly turned around and hurtled towards Xiao Ming. A force of indescribable darkness and coldness filled the surrounding space, creating an ominous atmosphere.
As Xiao Ming moved towards Yao Xiaotian, the seal pierced through space and arrived above his head. The massive seal crushed him in an instant!
However, before Yao Xiaotian could rejoice, another surge of energy erupted from beneath the seal. The mountain-like seal was shaken and sent hurtling backward with a resounding boom!
Xiao Ming now appeared engulfed in a Heavenly Flame, exuding an enormously powerful aura. He was only a few meters away from the black snake...
Yao Xiaotian was terrified. How was it possible that he couldn't even seal Xiao Ming with the Yellow Spring Great Seal?
However, this was the Underground Serene Snake Network, the heartland of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe. He couldn't believe Xiao Ming would actually dare to kill him here unless he was prepared for an all-out war with the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe.
"No matter who you are! I admit I may have offended you just now, and your strength deserves respect..."
"Enough with the nonsense!"
Having broken through to the Dou Saint realm, Xiao Ming's battles were either sneak attacks or instant kills. He had initially planned to practice a bit, but seeing how weak this opponent was, he decided there was no need to hold back.
Having reverted to his original form, Yao Xiaotian possessed an even sturdier physique and greater strength.
However, Xiao Ming's wild punches, imbued with tremendous strength and the power of the Heavenly Flame, elicited Yao Xiaotian's continuous, agonizing screams.
From the snake's head to its belly and along its spine, the colossal snake's body writhed uncontrollably. Blood holes appeared all over, its scales shattered, and blood poured out.
"Bastard, you dare to behave atrociously in the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python's territory! Serene Snake Guards, capture this person!"
After Xiao Ming sealed this fellow and was about to render him unconscious, a ferocious roar echoed from the sky.
The sounds of rushing wind filled the air immediately, resonating throughout the entire mountain range. Numerous powerful auras surged forth. It was evident that the battle between Xiao Ming and Yao Xiaotian had alerted the entire Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe.
Using his soul's perception, Xiao Ming had already sensed the arrival of many elders of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe, as well as the Serene Snake Guards, without even turning his head.
In the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe, the consequences of sacrificing their pure ancient bloodlines were laid bare. While they had numerous Dou Venerate powerhouses and quite a few Half-Saints, Dou Saint experts were exceptionally rare, with only three individuals, including the previously sealed Yao Ming.
Compared to the other two major Magical Beast Tribes, the disparity was becoming glaringly obvious.
The one who spoke just now was an old man with a bright red poisonous snake on his shoulder. His face bore a menacing look, but his eyes were wide with shock and hesitation.
He could not help it!
Xiao Ming's aura was just too overpowering, and the oppressive feeling he gave off was simply too heavy. Not to mention that Yao Xiaotian, a hair weaker than him, was already half-dead on the ground.
Although unsure at first, the First Elder became less hesitant as the words left his mouth. The Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe would become a laughingstock in the Beast Region if they couldn't avenge this today. This was something they simply could not accept!
"Elders, lead the Serene Snake Guards to form the Ten Thousand Snake Grand Formation! Kill this person and save the Tribal Chief at any cost! Otherwise, the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe will have no place in the Beast Region."
The First Elder with the bright red snake coiled on his shoulder waved his hand. Fixing his gaze on Xiao Ming, he spoke with malevolence, his eyes filled with fierceness and cruelty.
"Yes!"
The elders all responded in unison. Despite being aware of Xiao Ming's formidable strength, they moved quickly to surround him. Their raging Dou Qi created a storm, ruffling the clouds throughout the sky.
Simultaneously, a large group of Serene Snake Guards in armor wielding long halberds advanced with determination. They approached from all directions and marched forward in unison.
As their auras merged, the soaring aura of bloodthirst condensed into a dense layer of clouds that reached the ceiling. Even the space itself trembled and gave way before it.
Knowing Xiao Ming's strength, but still daring to form a formation to surround and kill him, it could only be said that many members of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe still had a backbone.
"Stop!"
Seeing this scene unfold, Yao Ming couldn't stay idle any longer. If an all-out fight broke out, he didn't know how Xiao Ming would fare, but one thing was certain: the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe would undoubtedly suffer heavy losses.
No matter how one looked at it, the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe was his future support. How could he accept such losses?
In his anxiety, he burst out from a corner, finally appearing in mid-air.
Yao Ming's Dou Qi had recovered quite a bit by this point. His body was no longer withered; on the contrary, it had grown significantly taller. Though his face appeared somewhat dark, when his eyes shimmered, a cold aura emanated from them.
As they gazed at Yao Ming's face, which bore a resemblance to Yao Tianxiao, all the members of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe present froze.
After a brief moment, some of the elders couldn't believe their eyes and cried out in disbelief:
"Tribal Chief Yao Ming? How is this possible? Didn't you die after your training went wrong?"
"Tribal Chief Yao Ming?"
"Seems like he's the previous tribal chief and the older biological brother of Tribal Chief Yao Xiaotian. But back then, Tribal Chief Yao Xiaotian had said that he had died after something went wrong with his training. He has already been missing for hundreds of years. How can he appear again?"
"If he's Tribal Chief Yao Ming, why would he stand with the intruder? What exactly happened?"
"..."
The First Elder was already in a panic after hearing the multitude of whispers echoing through the sky. In comparison to the current fierce Yao Xiaotian, Yao Ming from years ago was more suitable to be the tribal chief. If this matter was exposed, the day Yao Ming became the tribal chief would be the day of his death!
As a result, the First Elder's face became solemn as he said:
"Be quiet. Do not be deceived by this person! This person is definitely that other fellow's accomplice. He has deliberately disguised himself as Tribal Chief Yao Ming in order to sow discord in our tribe. All Elders, why aren't you activating the formation? Kill him!"
The First Elder's body suddenly disappeared after his words rang out. He was already in front of Yao Ming when he appeared. His shriveled hands had become incomparably black as an intense stench spread from them.
Withered Leaf Great Poison Palm!
"What makes you think you can kill and silence someone in my presence?"
Soul Gaze!
As the First Elder's palm force surged, a burst of white light erupted, fiercely colliding head-on.
The First Elder's body trembled violently as he felt a brief separation of his soul and body. In the next split second, a figure appeared in front of him, delivering a powerful kick!
A powerful energy surge sent the First Elder flying, causing a hurricane-like force that shattered a towering peak.
"Cough, cough! How can you be this strong!"
The First Elder coughed up blood while kneeling on the ground. His heart was pounding hard. There was a faint imprint of a foot clearly visible on his chest.
The Ten Thousand Snake Grand Formation of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe froze when they saw his pitiful state. The tribe's experts couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.
Even the First Elder, a Dou Saint, was so powerless against him. Was their Ten Thousand Snake Grand Formation really worth anything?
Yao Ming's eye also twitched. He had witnessed Xiao Ming defeating two Dou Saints in succession.
Although it took him some effort to deal with Yao Xiaotian, Xiao Ming probably didn't put much effort into it based on his clash with the First Elder.
Even if his own strength recovered, he probably couldn't reach this level.
A sense of awe towards Xiao Ming emerged in Yao Ming's heart, prompting him to step forward.
Gazing at the Elders, he suddenly widened his mouth. A black-light shot out and turned into a two-meter-long scepter. This scepter was completely black with two lifelike poisonous snakes twisting at the top. A fist-sized black bead was present between the two snakes. It emitted a faint cold glow.
"All Elders, do you still recognize this thing?"
Yao Ming's words drew the attention of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe's members who were torn between whether or not to fight to the death.
"The Nine Serene Profound Scepter? It is actually the Nine Serene Profound Scepter that has been lost for hundreds of years!"
"It is the keepsake of the Tribal Chief!"
The expressions of all the Elders in the sky drastically changed after seeing that black scepter appear.
A wild heat surged within their eyes. They could feel a pressure from within their blood that originated from the scepter.
It was rumored that the snake bead on the Nine Serene Profound Scepter possessed an extremely pure Nine Serene King Tribe bloodline. If the current Nine Serene Deep Ground Serpent Tribe could obtain this bloodline, it would undoubtedly allow them to greatly extend the rate at which their blood was thinning.
