Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 113 She's too big to fit in.
"Boom!"

A massive, jet-black snake tail, as thick as the Great Wall of Steel, cleaved through the mountain ridge ahead, unleashing a deafening roar. It passed close to Xiao Yue's body, the entire journey fraught with peril.

Yun Yun, standing beside Xiao Yue, was not as lucky; she was being chased and bitten by a snake!
Yun Yun was speechless. She wondered what sins her ancestor had committed to make his disciples hate him so much.

Fortunately, her movement and speed were both top-notch, and the effects of the sixth-grade Wind Spirit Pill she had taken earlier hadn't worn off yet. Otherwise, she would probably have been defeated here today. Even though her speed was far less than it was in her previous life, no one could stop her when she went berserk.

"Yunzhi, come here. She won't dare to chase after me anymore," Xiao Yue said.

She had already stood on a distant mountain peak, and summoned Yunyun, who was being chased by the sky, to fly over.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun hurriedly adjusted her direction. The wind wings on her back were activated to their maximum, drawing an elegant arc in the air as she flew towards the mountain where Xiao Yue was.

They narrowly escaped several attacks before finally reaching Xiao Yue's location.

"Are you really not going to pursue it anymore?"

Yun Yun was somewhat surprised.

At this moment, she had already folded the wind wings on her back and landed steadily beside Xiao Yue. Her green dress outlined her perfect figure, and even though she had just been chased, her noble temperament could not be concealed.

Xiao Yue and her companion stood atop the mountain peak, with towering mountains behind them and a landscape ravaged by the Nine Netherworld Python before them. Thick smoke still billowed from the distant mountain ranges, and the mountains below were scarred and the air was thick with the smell of scorched earth.

The enormous figure of the Nine Netherworld Python was currently writhing and roaring at them from the opposite side of the mountain!

"Boom!"

It was there in a helpless rage, and lashed its tail at the ground, instantly splitting the vast mountains into pieces. Then, like ocean waves, it surged and rippled, carrying soil, rocks, and trees, forming huge waves that stretched for dozens of miles, with the ground rising and falling tens of meters high like waves.

"Emma, ​​she really isn't pursuing me anymore!"

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent King also flew over.

Some people looked down at the powerless and furious Nine Nether Python with a sense of wonder. The moment the Nine Nether Python attacked, they had rolled up their green scales and dodged away.

Xiao Qinglin was curious about this and didn't understand why the other party suddenly didn't dare to pursue her.

“She has been dead for hundreds of years, and her soul power has been worn away by the years. It’s not so easy for her to control her body, which was once an eighth-order magical beast. Haven’t you ever thought about what the source of her power to control the corpse puppet is?” Xiao Yue asked.

Just like piloting a mecha,
Whether it's nuclear power or an old diesel engine, there has to be something to use as fuel.

The remnant soul of the Nine Netherworld Python, which died many years ago, is only capable of exerting the strength of a Dou Huang to Dou Zong at most, based on its performance in the battle against Yun Yun in the underground palace. It is obviously a pipe dream to control such a powerful Dou Zun-level 'mecha'.

"you mean…"

Yun Yun was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
She then seemed to realize something and looked down, continuing, "Could the power source of that corpse be the special, extremely yin and cold ley lines deep beneath this region?"

Xiao Yue nodded.

The Nine Netherworld Python lived in that extremely yin and cold cave before it died. Although its soul power weakened after death, it was able to barely maintain the movement of its body by borrowing the power of this earth vein.

But once they leave that area, they're essentially like a machine with its network cable cut off—completely useless. So all the other party can do now is stand there in helpless rage.

It must be said that Xiao Yue's insight was very accurate.

The Nine Netherworld Python could only stand there and stare at them helplessly.

...

"Emma, ​​little saintess, this is a great opportunity! We'll lure her out of the ley lines and render her immobile. Then, little saintess, use your Azure Eyes Three-Flower Pupil to store her corpse in the 'Serpent Control Space'!" Knowing the opponent's weakness, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King said excitedly.

"No, she's too big! My snake-controlling space is too small to fit her! She'll... she'll break..." Qinglin shook her head like a rattle-drum, her little face flushed as she spoke.

She gestured with her small hands, waving them haphazardly in front of her, as if she were really imagining what would happen if that behemoth, like the Great Wall of Steel, entered her snake-controlling space.

It's bound to burst!
"Besides, my cultivation level is too low. What if I can't control her and she escapes... Will she eat me then?" The little girl clutched the hem of her clothes, looking down timidly, appearing very nervous.

Those around him were speechless upon hearing this.

Clearly, no one expected this somewhat naive and timid little girl to think that way. But thinking about it, it makes sense. For Xiao Qinglin, who came from a Great Dou Shi level, the corpse of a Nine Nether Earth Python at the Dou Zun level was indeed too terrifying, even if the other party possessed the Azure Eyes Three Flower Pupil.

"Being large isn't a problem..."

Xiao Yue looked down, her eyes flickering slightly.

The Nine Netherworld Python had witnessed the power of her White Tiger Divine Form in the underground palace, so it had been hiding in her former corpse and refused to show itself no matter what.

She originally planned to wait for the Soul Palace to take action and allow them to extract the soul from the Nine Nether Python's body, and then have the Vermilion Bird follow up, since they, as professionals, were the ones who were good at soul-binding techniques.

but,

The exposure of their current location and the appearance of Qinglin gave Xiao Yue some different ideas.

...

At this moment, the Nine Netherworld Python, seeing that Xiao Yue and the others had discovered its weakness, only raged for a while before turning around to cause trouble for the others in the mountains. Immediately, another bloody storm broke out on the scene.

Those forces from various factions who were still clinging to hope and had not yet left were slaughtered.

"You beast, you have too much bloodlust!"

This was an old man, short in stature. Although his appearance was average, his eyes were bright and piercing, and it was clear at a glance that he was no ordinary person, possessing the cultivation of a Seven-Star Dou Huang.

At this moment, almost all of the elite troops he had brought with him had been slaughtered, so he was burning with rage.

"You are only allowed to provoke me and hunt magical beasts in the mountains. I will not allow you to retaliate. Otherwise, you are too bloodthirsty?" The Nine Netherworld Python's voice was cold as it coiled into a snake mountain and looked down at the newcomers.

Her words left the old man in the distance speechless.

What the other party said is not wrong. Humans have been entering the Monster Mountain Range to hunt. If we really want to talk about it, whose bloodlust is greater? However, since ancient times, the law of the jungle has always been the rule of survival of the fittest. In the end, this is the most basic code of the world.

"Why bother with morality when dealing with these evil ghouls? Let's all charge forward side by side!"

"That's right, let's take her down together! The scales of an eighth-tier magical beast are priceless, and they're sure to contain high-level magic cores!"

Someone shouted,

Immediately, six more Dou Huang powerhouses jumped out, preparing to join forces to encircle and annihilate them.

"You ants dare to be my enemy!" The Nine Netherworld Python sneered, its massive body trembling violently as it pressed down on the crowd like a small black mountain.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, the seven Dou Huang experts all showed solemn expressions. They exchanged glances, and then, together with dozens of Dou Wang experts, they attacked the Nine Netherworld Python.

In an instant,
In the endless mountain range, only countless magnificent streams of fighting spirit of various colors began to collide.

However, their attacks seemed to have little effect on the Nine Netherworld Python. Her body trembled slightly, and her scales were not damaged at all as she withstood all the attacks.

"The sword wound from the back of its head!"

Some people say that,

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately changed their strategy and concentrated their firepower on the bottomless sword wound on the back of the Nine Netherworld Python's head.

really,

This combined attack seemed to have caused considerable damage to the Nine Netherworld Python. It felt as if it had been slightly pricked by a needle, hissing in pain as its massive body writhed wildly.

"Haha, it seems we've found her weakness! Everyone, give it your all and take her down in one fell swoop!" A Dou Huang expert laughed loudly, his face full of pride, looking down at the Nine Netherworld Python below, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes.

however,
Just when everyone thought victory was in sight, the Nine Netherworld Python suddenly let out a deafening roar, and a strong stream of black, icy venom gushed out from her wound.

"Oh no, everyone retreat quickly!" someone shouted urgently, their expression changing.

unfortunately,

It was too late. The black, chilling venom struck the two Dou Huang experts closest to the Nine Netherworld Python like a bolt of black lightning.

"what!"

A scream rang out in the air, and the two Dou Huang powerhouses and the dozen or so Dou Wangs who were providing support were instantly corroded by the black venom until not a trace remained.

Everyone who saw this was horrified.

"The Emperor Python's Heart-Corroding Poison!"

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent King, watching from afar, clicked his tongue in amazement. As one of the most famous and rare poisons in the world, let alone a Dou Huang powerhouse, even a Dou Zong would only last a few minutes before dying on the spot.

Although the opponent can only attack with its physical body now, the venom contained within its body can still be fired normally, which is currently its only means of ranged attack.

"withdraw!"

One of the Dou Huang powerhouses, seeing his elite Dou Wang support troops fall one after another, turned ashen-faced and hastily ordered a retreat.

Seeing this, the others also abandoned their encirclement and began to flee in all directions, having no intention of fighting again.

however,
At this moment, the Nine Netherworld Python seemed to have been aroused and was rampaging wildly through the mountains, killing indiscriminately.

For a time,

Blood flowed like rivers in the Monster Mountain Range, corpses littered the ground, and screams, curses, and pleas for mercy rose and fell incessantly. Yet another Dou Huang powerhouse had perished.

She only stopped after driving all the remaining humans out of her control.

"Hehehe! Those troublesome minions have finally been cleared out! So many fallen Battle Kings and Battle Emperors' souls, what a great harvest!"

In the sky,
Suddenly, a large expanse of black mist appeared out of nowhere. This black mist swirled in the sky like ghosts, and dozens of black-robed figures appeared and disappeared in the black mist. None of them were weak. The lowest level among them was Dou Ling, and the two leaders were even high-level Dou Huang experts.

Upon hearing that signature laugh, Xiao Yue immediately knew that the people from the Soul Palace had arrived. These guys were extremely cunning, and they would only come to harvest souls after the battle was over.

The low-level Soul Envoys at the Battle Spirit level began to act. Their pitch-black, chilling iron chains tilted down, extracting illusory souls from the corpses of the powerful figures who had fallen in the mountains, and storing them one by one into the strange pouches at their waists.

"Who are those people?"

At the distant mountain peaks,

Yun Yun stared at the black-robed figures with some surprise. She had never seen such a bizarre scene before. The black-robed figures looked sinister and eerie, not like living people, but like cold zombies without a heartbeat.

Green Barbarian and White Fang were also a little puzzled. Although they were both Dou Huang level experts, the Soul Palace organization had always been mysterious, so it was normal that they didn't know about it.

Xiao Yue didn't explain further. At this moment, she looked up at the sky. With her special sensitivity to the Soul Palace, she could vaguely sense that a group of even more powerful Soul Palace envoys were heading this way. Among them, one of them had an aura that far exceeded the level of a Dou Huang powerhouse.

"Soul Palace...?"

The Nine Netherworld Python's enormous scarlet pupils contracted slightly as it looked with some apprehension at the large group of figures shrouded in black mist that had appeared.

As the strongest person in the Northwest Continent, she naturally knew more about this mysterious organization than ordinary Dou Huang experts.

From the two clouds of black mist above came a series of low, eerie laughs. Two people slowly emerged from them, their black robes embroidered with a raven about to take flight, the symbol of a high-ranking Soul Collector within the Soul Palace.

"Nine Netherworld Python, you were quite a powerful figure in life, but after your death, your body was turned into a corpse puppet. It's truly pathetic. We've come today to send you off on your final journey and let you find complete release." One of them spoke coldly, like the pronouncement of death.

"You think you can capture my soul?"

The Nine Netherworld Python let out a cold laugh.
Although she is now only a soul and a corpse, she was once a Dou Zun level being, so how could she easily give in?

"Hehehe~ If they are no good, then I wonder if I might meet your approval?!"

The piercing laughter echoed around the mountains.
Xiao Yue could tell from the sound that the newcomer was a protector at the Soul Palace Dou Zong level.

As it turned out, her guess was correct!
Because in the next moment, an extremely powerful aura suddenly surged into the sky.

Then,

A figure in black robes broke through the air from afar. He was shrouded in billowing, cold black mist. The raven embroidered on his black robe was more exquisite than the previous two, and there were also streaks of blood patterns on it, which clearly indicated that he was of higher status and stronger in strength and realm.

"The strong man of Dou Zong!"

On the distant mountain peaks,
The surviving Douhuang experts in the mountains all changed their expressions, clearly not expecting that a Douzong expert would actually appear here. For a moment, most of them gave up their wishful thinking, gritted their teeth and chose to leave, not wanting to get involved any longer.

The Nine Netherworld Python's pupils shrank upon seeing this. Although she was not afraid of this Dou Zong due to her advantageous terrain, she knew her own situation. If she were to be entangled by him, it would be a very troublesome matter.

"A mere three-star Dou Zong? If I were in my prime, I could kill you with a single slap!" Although she was wary, she was still quite defiant and unwilling to lose face.
