Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Chapter 175 Nine Netherworlds

Deep within the Nether Serpent's veins lies a massive, dark abyss, hundreds of feet wide and bottomless.

An astonishingly cold aura, like a gale, constantly howled upwards from its depths. Even ordinary experts would feel their blood and even their battle qi freeze just by standing here.

At the bottom of this deep ravine lies the sacred pool of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs.

There were no defenses beside the deep ravine, because everyone knew that the cold, icy winds that constantly howled from the ravine were the most natural protection. Even a Dou Zong level expert would not dare to venture deep into the ravine in the face of these winds.

"laugh!"

As the cold, biting wind howled incessantly, the space here suddenly distorted slightly, and a figure slowly emerged.

Upon revealing himself, Long Yan glanced at the dark abyss but did not linger. With another wave of his sleeve, the dense spatial power forcefully broke through the extremely cold gale and swept into the bottom of the dark abyss.

The ravine was extremely deep; even at Long Yan's speed, it took him nearly ten minutes to reach the bottom.

As it approached the ground, it also came into view of an extremely large lake not far away, from which a chilling aura capable of freezing the fighting spirit within a person emanated.

The lake was enormous, and its water was a deep yellow. Yet, within this deep yellow, there seemed to be traces of blood-like color flowing through it. Wisps of light yellow mixed with a faint trace of blood seeped out from it, eventually rising and roaring into the sky.

If one were to go to the Yellow Springs Stele to obtain the essence blood of the Yellow Springs Demon Saint, it would inevitably attract the powerful members of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan. If Long Yan were to be attacked while fighting against the remnant soul of the Yellow Springs Demon Saint, he would be powerless to defend himself.

However, Long Yan did not want to kill Yao Xiaotian and the Great Elder of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan directly. The two Dou Sheng of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan would be enough for Qing Lin to control with the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil to become a Dou Sheng.

However, without killing them, Long Yan could not pass the test left by the Yellow Spring Demon Saint with peace of mind. Therefore, he planned to rescue Yao Ming and make him the patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan again, trapping Yao Xiaotian and the Great Elder of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan in the Yellow Springs.

As for why he didn't just trap the two Dou Sheng of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan at the bottom of the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs, it was naturally because Long Yan didn't want the Nine Netherworld Python Clan to lose their Dou Sheng powerhouses and then be driven out of here by other magical beast families.

The entire Nine Netherworld Python Clan is nourishment for Qing Lin's growth, including Yao Ming. As for whether Yao Ming will betray them, a weak Dou Sheng powerhouse is trapped and powerless to resist. Long Yan can easily leave a backup plan for Yao Ming.

Although Yao Xiaotian and the Great Elder of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan were only one-star Dou Sheng, unless they did not resist, Long Yan, as a late-stage three-star Dou Sheng, would not be able to leave any tricks to control them.

"This is the legendary Netherworld."

Gazing at the yellow lake, Long Yan slowly approached. As he drew closer to the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs, he could feel a hidden, chilling power constantly penetrating his body.

Long Yan stopped beside the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs, squatted down, and touched the lake water with his palm. Immediately, a hissing sound was heard, and a kind of deep yellow ice crystal rapidly climbed up his arm.

Even with his Fire Spirit Body, Long Yan could not completely resist the chill of the Nine Netherworld with his physical body. The strange fire quickly seeped out from countless pores on his body. The terrifying high temperature and the cold air came into contact and immediately burst into an overwhelming white mist.

"Thump!"

Summoning the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, Long Yan moved and crashed directly into the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs, then sped towards the bottom of the Yellow Springs with lightning speed.

"Hiss!"

As Long Yan leaped into the Nine Netherworld, a column of white smoke rose from the lake's surface, with bubbling water constantly appearing, clearly caused by the Yin-Yang dual flames.

Instantly, this place beside the Netherworld became silent again. Occasionally, a few whooshing sounds could be heard from the sky, but no one went in to investigate.

……

"laugh!"

A figure flashed past like lightning in the murky yellow lake water, surrounded by black and white flames. Each time it came into contact with the surrounding lake water, it would burst into a series of hissing sounds.

The chilling power contained within the Nine Netherworlds is so strong that it can freeze battle qi. If Long Yan had not been a fire spirit, and his Yin-Yang Twin Flames had not devoured the sub-flames of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, he probably wouldn't have been able to stay here indefinitely.

However, with the ability of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, Long Yan can also absorb the Yin and Cold Power in the Nine Netherworld to restore his fighting spirit and replenish his consumption.

"Hiss!"

A faint, strange sound suddenly reached Long Yan's ears, and he immediately realized that the water flow behind him had suddenly become rapid.

"Bang!"

As the water flow suddenly accelerated, Long Yan turned around and pointed a finger, unleashing the Void Yin-Yang Finger technique to instantly annihilate it with the power of space.

Within Long Yan's field of vision, a dense, dark mist rapidly spread outwards.

What they were not the so-called "black mist" were actually formed by countless strange snakes that were pitch black and covered with eerie scales. The piercing hissing sound was also made by these snakes.

"Hiss!"

Even when these strange snakes were still a long distance away from Long Yan, they opened their ferocious mouths, and countless jets of dark black water shot out from their mouths.

Upon contact with the lake water, the water automatically split apart, causing the water arrows to accelerate rapidly. The whooshing sound of the arrows cutting through the air caused the surrounding lake water to emit a low, explosive sound.

Long Yan ignored the creatures born from the Nine Netherworld and used spatial power to teleport them.

In the Netherworld, the power of yin and cold can suppress the power of space, and Long Yan cannot use the power of space to directly reach the bottom, but short-distance spatial teleportation is still possible.

Before Long Yan lay an extremely vast expanse of sand and gravel, with countless fist-sized pebbles scattered about. These pebbles emitted a faint glow, which made the place appear quite bright.

Long Yan carefully searched for Yao Ming's traces. Even his late-stage Heaven Realm soul power was suppressed here, unable to completely cover the bottom of the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs.

Suddenly, a very faint groan reached Long Yan's ears through the water.

"Help...help me..."

"Yin-Yang Void Finger!"

Facing the source of the sound, Long Yan flicked his finger, and a huge gap appeared in the sandy ground. As the sand rolled, a massive iron chain, hundreds of feet long, was suddenly exposed to Long Yan's view.
