Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 255 Snake Tomb

Because of its unique Daoist principles and the laws of heaven and earth, the Netherworld has given birth to its own unique races, such as Rakshasa, Hungry Ghosts, and Yakshas. However, since the Netherworld has only recently been born, these races have only just begun to multiply, and there are very few truly powerful individuals.

As the Heavenly Serpent Clan, which invaded the Netherworld from the primordial world, they are the true overlords of the Netherworld. The Heavenly Serpent Clan's pure Yin nature allows them to adapt to the laws of the Netherworld in the shortest possible time.

Taiwei was also glad that he had discovered the Heavenly Serpent Clan in advance. If the Heavenly Serpent Clan had continued to develop like this, with the Netherworld as its base, Taiwei could not even predict how far the Heavenly Serpent Clan could grow in the future.

However, it is foreseeable that, without external interference, the Heavenly Serpent Clan, which occupies the Netherworld, will definitely become the sixth largest royal clan in the primordial world.

The moment Taiwei stepped into the Netherworld, Tianjue became useless. Dark purple spiritual light blazed from Taiwei's body. Tianjue, seeing the change in Taiwei's aura, thought that Taiwei had seen the Netherworld and was shocked.

Tianjue originally wanted to offer some words of comfort, but the silvery-white light suddenly transformed into thousands of streams of light that scattered around, temporarily separating the void where the two were from the Netherworld.

Tian Jue looked at Tai Wei and his expression changed drastically. He realized that something was wrong. The essence of these silvery-white rays of light was extremely vast and pure. Just by looking at them, Tian Jue could feel his Dao Heart and Primordial Spirit vibrating.

Tianjue had once seen the Heavenly Serpent Mace, which the Heavenly Serpent Clan had painstakingly crafted. The essence of these silvery-white rays of light was very similar to the aura emanating from the Heavenly Serpent Mace. Although he didn't want to believe it, Tianjue already knew that there was something wrong with the Tianhuang he had brought with him.

"Thank you for bringing me here. If I had to search on my own, I don't know how long it would have taken to find the lair of you reptiles."

Taiwei spoke coldly, and the power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demon transformed into thousands of rainbows, suppressing all the spiritual energy that erupted around Tianjue. In the extremely dazzling silver flames, a large bronze bell that appeared in front of Tianjue was pulverized by the power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demon.

With a clench of his five fingers, Taiwei shattered Tianjue's body under the immense power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demon. Even if Taiwei were to make a move, it would inevitably cause a violent upheaval in the spiritual energy of a Taiyi realm expert.

However, if the Nine Li Heavenly Demon were used, given the huge difference in cultivation between Tian Jue and Tai Wei, he would have no ability to resist at all. In just a few breaths, all of Tian Jue's energy would be obliterated by the Nine Li Heavenly Demon.

Surrounded by countless dazzling streams of light, Taiwei looked at the ancestral court of the Heavenly Serpent Clan, which was shrouded in heavy Yin energy in the distance, and revealed an extremely chilling killing intent on his face: "Since you have decided to disappear, then disappear cleanly."

Taiwei sat cross-legged in the void, and the power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demons transformed into streaks of silver-white azure dragons that burrowed into the earth of the Netherworld.

Countless silver patterns bloomed and spread across the gray-white earth and plains. In just a few breaths, the power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demon had already permeated tens of millions of miles of heaven and earth.

The Nine Li Heavenly Demon, this supreme treasure of the Void, possesses the ability to melt and reconstruct all matter in the world. Under Taiwei's control, the Nine Li Heavenly Demon continuously erodes the boundless mountains and rivers surrounding the ancestral court of the Heavenly Serpent Clan.

For tens of thousands of years, the ancestral court of the Heavenly Serpent Clan, which occupied hundreds of millions of miles of mountains and rivers, had been completely surrounded by the power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demons. At this time, the Serpent Head Tian Shi in the ancestral court of the Heavenly Serpent Clan finally sensed the subtle changes in the spiritual energy around him, but it was too late.

As the vast aura of Taiwei suddenly descended, the howls of wolves echoed throughout the entire Netherworld, and tens of millions of silver wolves appeared around the ancestral court of the Heavenly Serpent Clan.

With crimson beastly eyes, silver manes, and chillingly sharp teeth, tens of millions of celestial wolves erupted with dazzling spiritual energy, causing the ancestral home of the Celestial Serpent Clan, the Serpent Tomb, to tremble violently.

The thousands upon thousands of large formations surrounding the Serpent Tomb evolved and expanded in succession. Hundreds of huge bronze mirrors flew out from the Serpent Tomb, reflecting in all directions. Moreover, one after another huge warship appeared out of thin air, with countless cannons protruding from the giant ships.

The raging tide of spiritual energy burst forth from the Snake Tomb in all directions. In an instant, countless Snake King Cannons on the giant ship unleashed a destructive torrent that pierced the heavens and the earth. Hundreds of bronze mirrors triggered a tearing apart of the order of space and time. Wind, thunder, water, fire, blood rivers, and red sand appeared one after another in layers of great formations.

Countless divine powers of light and flame erupted wildly in all directions from the center of the Serpent Tomb, tearing apart tens of millions of silver wolves almost instantly, and mushroom clouds rose up, swallowing and destroying the earth and rivers.

The raging tide of primordial energy seemed poised to utterly destroy the Netherworld. The sudden counterattack launched by the Heavenly Serpent Clan startled Taiwei. Judging from the speed and intensity of their reaction, the defensive measures of the Serpent Tomb might already be no weaker than the defensive strength of the five royal clans against their ancestral court.

Of course, this refers to the five royal families at the beginning of the world. Nowadays, with the development of the times, no one can really make the five royal families use the ancestral court's protective measures.

Countless silver wolves appeared before Taiwei. The hundred thousand wolves converged and transformed into a silver rainbow, blocking hundreds of light cannons that tore through the void and were about to strike. Amidst the roar, the countless wolves that had been torn apart around the Serpent Tomb were restored.

Taiwei reverted to his original form, standing atop a towering wolf, gazing calmly at the vast, dark ocean gushing forth from the Serpent Tomb.

The Celestial Serpent Clan has shown considerable strength, but it is still within Taiwei's control. Since Taiwei has chosen to attack and besiege the Serpent Tomb at this time, he has absolute confidence that he can annihilate this Celestial Serpent Clan, which is faintly approaching the level of a royal family, on his own.

On the vast, dark ocean of deathly energy, the lord of the Heavenly Serpent Clan, Serpent-Headed Tian Shi, stood before countless members of the Heavenly Serpent Clan, wielding the supreme treasure of the Void, the Heavenly Serpent Mace.

Tian Shi was dressed in a magnificent purple robe, with thick, dark eyebrows and a fair complexion. He appeared unremarkable, but Taiwei saw an extremely violent killing intent in his eyes. He was a Primordial True Saint who had killed countless people. Although he was not a top-level Primordial True Saint, he was not far off.

Behind Tian Shi were the only two remaining Taiyi realm experts in the Heavenly Serpent Clan. One of them was obese and bloated, holding a huge spiked club. This person was named Gu Shi, whose true form was the Devouring Heaven Serpent, and his combat power was extremely strong.

Before Tian Shi transformed into the Primordial True Saint, Gu Shi was Tian Shi's greatest rival in his ascension to the top. However, in the end, Tian Shi was more skilled and defeated Gu Shi, monopolizing the vast fortune of the Heavenly Serpent Clan and successfully transforming into the Primordial True Saint.

The other person behind Tian Shi was a woman in black wielding a huge scythe. Her cultivation level was no weaker than Gu Shi's. Her body was perfectly combined with Geng Xin metal energy and death energy. Although her aura was not as strong as Gu Shi's, it was not much different.

The woman in black is named Zhong Ling. Her true form is the Great Abyss Hook Serpent, and her bloodline level is not weak. The Great Abyss Hook Serpent possesses the most powerful physical body of the Heavenly Serpent Clan, and can continuously devour divine metal between heaven and earth to strengthen its own body.

In the early stages, Tian Shi was able to reach where he is today precisely because of Zhong Ling's discovery and help. Apart from Tian Kuai, who was killed by Tai Wei, the three people in front of him are the true strongest beings of the Tian She Clan.

Upon seeing the appearance of Tian Shi, Gu Shi, and Zhong Ling, Taiwei remained indifferent, while Tian Shi, Gu Shi, and Zhong Ling wore grim expressions. Although the Heavenly Serpent Clan was hidden in the Netherworld, they were still aware of the major events that had occurred in the Primordial World.

They all felt a sense of fear towards Taiwei, the top-tier Primordial True Saint who had once killed the progenitor of Tianchi. At the peak of Tianchi's power, his combat strength was definitely superior to that of the three of them.

Not long ago, Tian Chi's aura suddenly disappeared. Tian Shi and others guessed that it was very likely that Tai Wei had completely killed him. Only Tai Wei, who had a life-and-death karmic connection with Tian Chi, would risk being burdened with karma to kill a top-level Primordial True Saint.

Upon seeing Taiwei's appearance, Tian Shi, Gu Shi, and Zhong Ling were all deeply moved. Moreover, the silver wolves that kept appearing behind Taiwei clearly indicated that Taiwei had come with a plan to cause trouble.

Although, according to common sense, given the current strength of the Heavenly Serpent Clan, a top-tier Primordial True Saint would be no match for such a large clan as the Heavenly Serpent Clan, Taiwei cannot be described by common sense.

Taiwei's tribulation was not even like a tribulation, and the time he spent returning to his peak was so short that it was almost too short. As a result, many powerful beings in the prehistoric world spread the rumor that Taiwei possessed an unparalleled treasure that could help cultivators grow rapidly.

"Lord Dao, our Heavenly Serpent Clan hides in this Netherworld only hoping to return to the peak of the Primordial World. We will not make things difficult for you. We will also not pursue the past karma of our Ancestor Tianchi. We do not want to stand against you, Lord Dao. Please show mercy."

As the current leader of the Heavenly Serpent Clan, Tian Shi should have given a stern warning to Tai Wei, an intruder, or even killed him outright. However, seeing the abyss-like coldness in Tai Wei's eyes, Tian Shi sincerely believed that he was no match for Tai Wei.

Tian Shi, who had just ascended to the position of the snake's head, did not want to have any conflict with Taiwei, a top-level Primordial True Saint. Behind Taiwei were Yang Mei, Fuxi, and Nuwa, three other top-level Primordial True Saints of the same level.

So when he spoke, Tian Shi found himself to be weaker than ever before, and he could even hear the whispers of the Heavenly Serpent Clan behind him.

"Your attitude is completely different from Tian Chi's attitude back then. It seems that after experiencing the great calamity, the Heavenly Serpent Clan has also learned to be patient and yielding."

Taiwei looked at Tian Shi, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, but the coldness in Taiwei's eyes showed no sign of dissipating; on the contrary, it grew stronger and stronger.
