Reborn as a Snake: Many Children, Many Blessings, Only I, the Green Snake Immortal

The pitch-black crack suddenly opened in front of the furnace opening.

Xu Qing stepped out from the middle and stood right in front of the Green Corpse Taoist.

The sinister smile in the eyes of the Green Corpse Daoist had not yet faded when his nearly complete third-grade aura pressed down upon him.

Xu Qing's shoulders slumped slightly, and the surrounding void seemed to solidify into a thick swamp, even slowing down the flow of his internal magic power.

The fierce battle in the Taihang Mountains flashed through his mind.

At that time, there was the Water Spirit Heavenly Splendor Array, the advantage of mountains and rivers, and a killing trap that had been set up in advance.

Right now, all he can use are his own cultivation, his demonic body, and his supernatural powers.

Fortunately, the person in front of me also has flaws.

The Five Internal Organs God, the Corpse Seal, and the Third Grade Corpse were forcibly combined. Although the ferocity was great, there were still some undisguised stagnations.

The long, black needles embedded in the corpse are still there, and the marks on the shoulders and back light up a fraction of a second later each time.

This line is enough for Xu Qing to stand here.

The Green Corpse Taoist sized him up, a slow grin spreading across his face.

"Since you're so eager to die, I'll take your excellent body first."

The corpse raised its hand, and thick black corpse energy suddenly burst forth.

The surging black tide filled the open space in front of the furnace, and a giant hand reached out from it. Before the five fingers could even close, the surface of the array altar had already cracked downwards.

Xu Qing opened his mouth and spat out a stream of crimson flame.

The fire swelled with the wind and quickly turned into a sea of ​​flames.

The corpse energy at the forefront exploded one after another, and the bloody black mist turned to ashes as soon as it touched the flames. The outer edge of the giant hand was also burned and continuously disintegrated.

The flames pressed down, casting a crimson glow on the corpses' faces.

The Green Corpse Taoist stepped into the fire, and the dissipating corpse energy swirled into a vortex behind him.

The remaining black tide surged through the flames, and his hand followed closely behind, reaching Xu Qing's chest.

Xu Qing crossed his arms, concentrating all his demonic power in front of him.

A dull, loud bang shook the sea of ​​fire apart.

He was sent flying backward by a palm strike, and even after his feet landed back on the altar, he still staggered back several steps, each step crushing the rock surface.

A sharp pain shot through his arm, his chest heaved, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

The flames slashed away most of the evil energy outside the corpse's hand, but the remaining power still exceeded the limits that a fourth-rank cultivator could withstand.

Xu Qing raised his hand to wipe away the bloodstains, his gaze passing over the Green Corpse Taoist and fixed firmly on the furnace opening.

The Green Corpse Taoist, having landed a successful blow, did not pursue them.

He turned and stepped toward the furnace, his gray fingers already reaching into it.

"The jar is broken!"

Zhao Ming's voice came from behind.

The four fourth-rank officials of the Great Qian Dynasty simultaneously took out an earthenware jar.

The object is simple and archaic in shape, and the mouth of the jar is sealed with the same gold pattern, clearly indicating that it had been prepared for this moment long ago.

With a burst of force from their five fingers, the earthenware pot shattered, and golden dragon energy, enveloped in rich essence, soared into the sky.

As the fragments fell to the ground, the faces of those fourth-rank officials quickly turned ashen, and their once-vigorous auras plummeted.

Zhao Ming cut open his palm and pressed the royal blood onto the golden ancient seal.

The imperial dragon shadow that occupied the altar let out a deep roar, and all the dragon energy and essence were absorbed by the ancient seal, and the mountain and river patterns on the seal lit up one after another.

Cheng Yuanli took a half step forward.

The golden seal was firmly pressed against his chest and disappeared into his body in the blink of an eye.

A tremendous force surged into every part of his body.

Cheng Yuanli's bones cracked all over his body, the veins under his skin bulged high, and several blood lines burst out along his arms.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes remaining clear, but his breathing grew heavier and heavier, and the imperial dragon aura rising around him became increasingly solid.

In the blink of an eye, his aura had already approached that of the Green Corpse Daoist.

Zhao Ming pointed at the Immortal Furnace: "Stop him, seize the furnace!"

A burst of golden light erupted beneath Cheng Yuanli's feet, and a massive dragon shadow followed him, crashing directly into the Green Corpse Taoist.

The grayish-white hand reaching into the furnace was intercepted from the side by the dragon claw. The two forces collided head-on in front of the furnace opening, the impact bypassing the immortal furnace and sweeping out along the broken array altar.

The Green Corpse Taoist shook his shoulders, and Cheng Yuanli took half a step back.

The two then approached the furnace opening again, their auras locked tightly around each other, neither willing to give way.

Song Qingwu and others have also pressed down again.

Two forces, both near-third-rank, stood in front, and anyone else who held back would lose even the right to step into the furnace.

Xu Qing took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging blood in his chest.

His aura simultaneously locked onto both the Green Corpse Taoist and Cheng Yuanli.

No one can get past.

The next instant.

The area above the altar suddenly darkened, and thick clouds gathered out of thin air from the depths of the earth's veins.

A strong wind swept across the battlefield first, followed by a dense curtain of rain that crashed down.

Each raindrop was imbued with heavy magical power, pressing down the corpse energy by a layer as it fell. A gale swept through the imperial dragon shadow, causing the massive dragon body to sway violently.

Xu Qing contained the wind and rain several feet away from the furnace, but the furnace was still surrounded by celestial light.

A safe area was left where Sang Qianhua and Su Qingqian were, while the real killing intent was directed at the contenders.

As soon as Song Qingwu stepped into the rain, the wind yanked his robes back tightly.

He had witnessed the power of this great supernatural ability firsthand, so he immediately held his sword horizontally in front of him, using his sword intent to cut through the rain curtain, and turned to the right side of the formation altar, no longer charging straight along the shortest route.

A phoenix's cry pierced through the clouds.

Luan Zhaoye revealed his true form as a sky-blue phoenix, his wings spread wide, and the blue wind condensed into a vortex beneath his wings.

Cangchenyuan transformed into a black water dragon, swimming along the rain-soaked ground.

The elephant's body swelled in the wind, its four hooves shattering the rock layers, and it charged towards the furnace with its demonic body against the raging wind.

On the other side, blood flames rose, and Feng Qingli and the other two reactivated their bloodlines.

The enormous phantom of the Blood Phoenix protected the three of them, avoiding the center of the collision between the Green Corpse Daoist and Cheng Yuanli.

The wind and rain slowed everyone down and brought everyone together again.

Just as the white elephant smashed through the corpse energy blocking its path, the imperial dragon's tail swept in from the side.

The phantom of the Blood Phoenix had barely crossed half of the array when Song Qingwu's sword light blocked its path to the furnace.

The black water dragon used the rain to circle around the immortal furnace, but was forced back into the battle by the blood flames unleashed by Feng Qingli.

No one was willing to clear the way for others.

The Green Corpse Taoist raised his hand and tore open the rain curtain, with Cheng Yuanli riding the Dragon Shadow closely following beside him.

The two rushed out of the melee one after the other, and were about to overtake Xu Qing again.

A brilliant blue light burst forth in the midst of the wind and rain.

A massive green serpent coiled up, its body stretching between the immortal furnace and the assembled heroes.

The azure divine light spread outward along the scales, transforming into a wide barrier that directly blocked the corpse's hand and the dragon's claw.

A deafening roar followed, and the divine light trembled violently.

The Green Corpse Daoist stepped forward one after another, his five fingers clenched into fists, and he unleashed the power of his nearly third-grade physical body on the same spot.

Cheng Yuanli activated the golden seal from the other side, and the dragon claw descended with the weight of mountains and rivers.

Blood Phoenix Divine Flame, Li Mountain Sword Light, and several streams of Ancestral Blood Demon Power also passed through the wind and rain at this moment, pressing down one after another.

The cracks on the blue barrier spread rapidly.

Xu Qing tightened his snake body, forcefully suppressing all the impact in front of the furnace.

The cracks crisscrossed to their extreme, and the protective divine light finally shattered. Large swathes of blue light fragments mixed with the torrential rain, and the remaining force fell entirely on the demon's body.

The scales cracked one after another, and fresh blood gushed from the wounds, which were then washed away by the wind and rain into a light red mist.

The corpse energy slipped into the broken scales and eroded inward along the flesh, and soon a feeling of stiffness and numbness came from the left side of the snake's body.

The force on Xu Qing grew heavier and heavier, but the coiled snake body still firmly blocked the furnace opening.

As the Green Corpse Taoist slammed down with his fist, Cheng Yuanli's dragon claw followed closely behind.

The green snake's upper body was pressed back, and blood gushed out again from under its cracked scales. Its tail, which was coiled in front of the stove, did not retreat even half a foot.

He no longer used divine light to block it.

Earthly Fiend Technique, with tremendous force!

The immense power accumulated deep within the demon's body suddenly erupted.

The green snake's long tail swept across the shattered altar, bringing with it a storm of wind and rain, and first collided with the third-grade corpse and the imperial dragon shadow.

With his arms wrapped around himself, the Green Corpse Taoist was pushed away from the furnace opening by a tremendous force as large sections of rock beneath his feet were turned up.

The dragon shadow surrounding Cheng Yuanli roared, and the golden light collapsed inward, instantly halting its forward momentum.

His vital energy trembled, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

The snake's tail, still possessing considerable momentum, swept out horizontally, sending all the surrounding cultivators flying!

Xu Qing scanned the battlefield and confirmed that there was a brief respite in front of the furnace.

enough.

His storage artifact at his waist opened wide, and thick blood light gushed out from it.

Each blood pill was enveloped in magical power, converging into two crimson torrents amidst the wind, rain, and corpse energy, flying towards Sang Qianhua and Su Qingqian respectively.

"It's time."

The sound reached both of their ears simultaneously.

Sang Qianhua raised her hand and caught the Blood Pill, its dark red light as deep as blood.

She glanced at Xu Qing once before taking all the blood pills into her collection.

Su Qingqian caught another torrent of blood, and a three-headed, six-armed white lotus Dharma image manifested behind her.

She placed her palms on her lower abdomen, paused for a brief moment, and then formed different hand seals with her six arms.

Every bit of foundation we have now brings us more opportunities.

Hesitation will only hand over opportunities to others.

The medicinal power of the two blood pills erupted simultaneously.

Vigorous blood and energy surge into the body, and pure power rushes towards the soul.

The white lotus Dharma image surrounding Su Qingqian solidified inch by inch, and the innate Taiyin essence flowed along the lotus petals. The threshold of the fourth rank that she had been trying to reach for so long finally trembled.

The changes in Sang Qianhua's body were even more astonishing.

A massive amount of blood pills were poured into the demon's body, and the powerful blood and energy accumulated in the blood pills of the Ox God were also drawn out.

Her accumulated inner strength suddenly awakened, and the silkworm silk rose without wind, spreading densely across the sky above the altar.

An aura far exceeding that of an ordinary fourth-grade cultivator breaking through the realm emanated from her body, passing through the wind and rain, causing the hearts of everyone who was gathering strength to sink simultaneously.

The Green Corpse Taoist suddenly turned his head, and for the first time, his ashen face showed a look of shock.

"A breakthrough is imminent!?"
