Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 256 Great Battle

"But unfortunately, the karmic ties between the Celestial Serpent Clan and me are too great to be severed with a single word from you. I cannot tolerate the resurgence of my former mortal enemy. So, will you all commit suicide, or will I have to do it myself?"

Taiwei spoke calmly, but the moment his voice fell, Tian Shi, Gu Shi, Zhong Ling, and countless members of the Heavenly Serpent Clan all showed expressions of anger. Their cold, vertical pupils stared intently at Taiwei, and their auras erupted one after another.

"Arrogant! So what if you're a top-tier Primordial True Saint? Do you really think you can take on our entire Heavenly Serpent Clan all by yourself?!"

Gu Shi, standing behind Tian Shi, spoke with a cold laugh. Although Gu Shi, who had never faced a top-tier Primordial True Saint, was afraid of Tai Wei, he did not believe that Tai Wei alone could withstand the power of the Heavenly Serpent Clan, which had occupied the Netherworld for tens of millions of years.

With a loud shout, Gu Shi turned the cannons of the giant ships above the Serpent Tomb and locked onto Tai Wei's position. Tian Shi and Zhong Ling's expressions changed slightly, but they did not stop Gu Shi's actions. They also wanted to see just how strong Tai Wei had become.

If Taiwei's strength exceeds their expectations, then the two of them can withdraw and quell Taiwei's anger. If Taiwei's strength does not exceed their expectations, then they can naturally follow the trend and mobilize the power of the Heavenly Serpent Clan to kill Taiwei.

Taiwei looked at the hundreds of beams of light piercing through from above and chuckled softly. Silver light shone forth, and above Taiwei's head, hundreds of giant ships appeared one after another.

The silver-white light cannon blocked the light cannon that the giant sword of the Heavenly Serpent Clan was about to pierce through. Countless flames exploded and expanded in front of Taiwei, and the violently released destructive spiritual energy shook the layers of arrays hanging high around the Serpent Tomb.

Tian Shi, Gu Shi, and Zhong Ling looked at the silver-white giant ship hanging high above Tai Wei's head, and their expressions changed slightly. The power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demon was somewhat beyond their expectations.

Taiwei looked at Tian Shi and the other two, waved his sleeve, and countless silver-white patterns appeared on the earth and rivers around the Serpent Tomb. The dragon veins trembled, the mountains and rivers were reorganized, and more silver wolves appeared around the Serpent Tomb.

The howls of wolves rose and fell in waves. With a thought, Taiwei summoned countless wolves that transformed into silver rainbows and charged toward the Serpent Tomb. The overwhelming wolves roared and exploded into flames on the layers of the great array's light screen.

The power derived from the Nine Li Heavenly Demon shattered the outermost layer of power in the Serpent Tomb. Tian Shi, Gu Shi, and Zhong Ling's expressions changed drastically. They did not expect Tai Wei to act so decisively. Seeing the silver celestial wolf that was about to completely occupy the great formation around the Serpent Tomb, Tian Shi had no choice but to order the start of a great battle with Tai Wei.

Countless streams of light rose from the Serpent Tomb, revealing giant ships, puppets, retinues, and military formations. The power accumulated by the Celestial Serpent Clan over millions of years was only partially displayed, yet it already blocked the endless silver wolves all around.

Hundreds of thousands of giant ships blocked out the sky and dark clouds, and the giant ships transformed by the Nine Li Heavenly Demons were shot down one after another by these giant ships of the Heavenly Serpent Clan.

The Nine Li Heavenly Demons possess absolute control over matter, but their large warships are extremely sophisticated. Compared to the Heavenly Serpent Clan, the giant ships derived from the Nine Li Heavenly Demons by Taiwei are still slightly inferior.

However, soon, accompanied by the tremors of the earth, more silver giant ships flew into the sky, and tens of thousands of beams of light were fired. The giant ships of the Heavenly Serpent Clan were finally damaged. But at this moment, the Yinshan puppets that the Heavenly Serpent Clan had been cultivating over the years leaped out one after another from the black cloud-like Serpent Tomb.

These enormous puppets, crafted from the Netherworld Yin Mountain, each possess terrifying destructive power surpassing that of a Golden Immortal.

Tens of thousands of Yinshan puppets roared, triggering the vast laws of the Netherworld. As the void twisted, the omnipresent Yin energy and death energy transformed into a torrent, pulling down the silver behemoths formed by the power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demon from the sky.

The enormous body of the Yinshan puppet pulled out countless thorny longswords and giant swords from the earth. As soon as the silver warships crashed down, they were blasted into pieces by the countless flashes of the giant swords.

Taiwei watched as the giant ship was rapidly shattered. He flicked his finger, and streaks of brilliant light pierced through the bodies of hundreds of Yinshan puppets.

A giant puppet, with a form of immense size and a sacred yet violent aura, surged and expanded like mercury-like liquid, evolved by the Nine Li Heavenly Demon.

These giant puppet gods were evolved by Taiwei from all the puppet soldiers of the five royal clans, and their strength was in no way inferior to the Yinshan puppets of the Heavenly Serpent Clan.

The Nine Li Heavenly Demon, capable of reshaping all matter between heaven and earth, is the source of Taiwei's confidence to fight against the Heavenly Serpent Clan on his own. The successive appearances of the silver giant ship and the giant god puppet made the originally arrogant Heavenly Serpent Clan feel the terror of Taiwei.

Countless array patterns appeared one after another on the surface of the silver behemoth. The silver behemoth, which was originally a bit clumsy, had already acquired performance no less than that of the Sky Serpent Clan's behemoth in just a few breaths. The overwhelming light cannons engulfed hundreds of Sky Serpent Clan warships.

The giant golem roared, and the gray-white earth transformed into an endless expanse of silver-white, with layers of water rippling and swirling on the silvery land.

Armored weapons appeared one after another on the giant golem's body, and the halberd in its hand slid down, cleanly severing the arm of a Yinshan golem. Silver patterns continued to spread on the severed arm.

The Nine Li Heavenly Demons are the rulers and nemesis of all matter in the world. Whether it is the warships of the Heavenly Demon Clan or the puppets of Yinshan, as long as they are invaded by the power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demons, they will soon be completely controlled by the Nine Li Heavenly Demons and turn against the Heavenly Serpent Clan.

The silvery light surrounded the Serpent Tomb like a vast ocean. With the Heavenly Serpent Clan as a suitable opponent, Taiwei could fully test the limits of the Nine Li Heavenly Demons' strength in the face of inter-clan wars.

Following the silver behemoth and the giant puppet, Taiwei waved his hand, and countless ferocious beasts emerged from the silver earth. The ferocious beasts from the four former ferocious domains were transformed by Taiwei with the great power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demon.

Youquan, a Dao Fruit avatar of Taiwei, once served as the Beast Lord of the Beast King Clan. Taiwei naturally had a thorough understanding of the structure and evolution of the Beast Tribe. The land and rivers within a radius of tens of millions of miles were reorganized by the Jiuli Heavenly Demons into a tribe and army belonging to Taiwei.

Among all the Taiwei treasures in the primordial world, the Jiuli Heavenly Demon may not rank among the top in terms of one-on-one combat power, but in clan wars, the Jiuli Heavenly Demon possesses an overwhelming power that far surpasses that of other Taiwei treasures.

With the appearance of the silver behemoth, the giant golem, and the ferocious beast's retinue, the lord of the Heavenly Serpent Clan, Serpent-Headed Tian Shi, could no longer sit still.

Seeing the countless silver flames that had already occupied all sides of the Serpent Tomb, Tian Shi gave an order, and the families of many powerful clans that the Heavenly Serpent Clan had conquered over the years appeared from all directions at this moment.

Rakshasa, yaksha, ghosts, hungry ghosts, and many other unique races of the underworld transformed into a gray-black torrent that flowed into the boundless silver ocean.

These powerful clans of the Netherworld were not long established, and even though they possessed the profound and mysterious cosmic manuals of the Primordial World passed down by the Celestial Serpent Clan, they were not considered particularly powerful. However, by occupying such a vast territory in the Netherworld, these clans possessed an extremely large number of members.

Even though the number of ferocious beast tribes evolved from the Nine Li Heavenly Demons was as many as hundreds of millions, they were still firmly blocked by the endless stream of Netherworld tribes.

The gray-black torrent was ten times, even a hundred times, greater than the silver ocean. The layers of formations that had been collapsing outside the Serpent Tomb began to recover rapidly under the defense of countless Netherworld tribes. Taiwei frowned slightly as he looked at the countless Netherworld tribes that had suddenly appeared.

"I was originally going to let you go, but since you've actively gotten involved in my mess with the Heavenly Serpent Clan, I have no reason to let you go."

In Taiwei's eyes, the golden dragon vein power transformed into flames and burned. The earth dragon veins around the Serpent Tomb trembled violently at this moment, and countless Netherworld dragon veins released their purest dragon vein power.

A cold glint flashed in Taiwei's eyes, and the Reverse Dragon Form of the Fifteen Dragon Forms - Hundred Directions Chaotic Divine Power was activated, causing chaos in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. The originally yin and soft Netherworld Dragon Vein transformed into the primordial dragon vein of extreme yang and strength.

Brilliant golden flames burned and billowed, and countless Netherworld tribesmen who were counterattacking the ferocious beast tribes screamed in unison. Although the Primordial Dragon Vein and the Netherworld Dragon Vein both belong to the category of dragon veins, their natures are completely opposite.

Taiwei used his chaotic supernatural powers to reverse the Netherworld Dragon Vein into the Primordial Dragon Vein. The surging energy of extreme yang and strength was unbearable for the Netherworld tribes who had never been exposed to yang energy. Their pure yin constitution caused the bodies of countless Netherworld tribes to dissolve.

The simplest way to deal with these Netherworld tribes is to neutralize the pure Yin energy with Yang energy. Unless they are powerful Netherworld beings above the Golden Immortal realm, none of the other Netherworld creatures can withstand the cleansing effect of pure Yang energy.

The golden light merged into the silvery-white ocean, and the Netherworld tribes, which had originally been like great rivers blocking the expansion of the silvery ocean, were decaying and disappearing at a visible speed.

Looking at the Netherworld tribe, which had been mostly wiped out in the blink of an eye, Tian Shi in the Serpent Tomb knew that the Serpent Clan was at a critical moment of life and death. As a serpent leader who had fought his way up, Tian Shi was not lacking in courage to face the challenge.

As orders were issued, the elite army of the Heavenly Serpent Clan surged forth from the Serpent Tomb like a torrent. The well-equipped Heavenly Serpent Clan elites, riding giant beasts, withstood the pressure of the Nine Li Heavenly Demons and the Dragon Vein's might as soon as they appeared, firmly blocking the ever-spreading golden and silver ocean around the Serpent Tomb.

Tian Shi's aura erupted, and wielding the Taiwei Supreme Treasure, the Heavenly Serpent Mace, he roared as he charged toward Taiwei, who stood in the void. Behind Tian Shi, Gu Shi, wielding a spiked club, and Zhong Ling, holding a giant scythe, followed closely behind, their auras surging as they locked onto the indifferent-looking Taiwei.
