As the Universe Turns - Chapter 211

Chapter 211 Spirit Binding Array

“Kid, there are two Void Refining and Dao Harmonization experts nearby. Be careful.” At this moment, Ku Lingzi’s divine will came from the Soul Jade.

Xiao Chen focused his attention and looked at the fiery red horizon again. Ku Lingzi could sense two Void Refining and Dao Combining experts with his soul, but he could not sense them. This meant that the other party’s cultivation was indeed very high.

Just as he was about to reach out with his divine sense, Ku Lingzi’s warning sounded out from the Soul Jade once again, “Kid, don’t alarm the snakes.”

Evidently, once he stretched out his divine sense, his opponent’s cultivation would definitely be able to detect it in an instant, and it was better to wait and see.

Xiao Chen withdrew his divine sense and looked into the cave valley. The scales on the scarlet-eyed Golden Scaled Python’s body continued to fall off, and its aura grew stronger and stronger. The cultivators on both sides of the valley had already changed color. An old man quickly said, “Take advantage of this!”

As the old man finished speaking, everyone attacked the Scarlet-eyed Golden Scaled Python once again. However, any flying sword that cut through metal would undoubtedly only cause the scarlet scales on the Scarlet-eyed Golden Scaled Python’s body to fall off faster.

In the end, once the scarlet scales fell off, the Scarlet Eyed Golden Scaled Python would have successfully transformed into a Golden Scaled Flood Dragon. At that time, none of the people here would be able to leave alive.

“Quick!”

Seeing that the Golden Scaled Python only had a scarlet scale left on its tail, everyone became even more anxious. At this moment, they could no longer care about the Fire Spirit Ganoderma anymore. They only wanted to kill the Golden Scaled Python as soon as possible so as to avoid burying the snake belly.

However, everything was born with its own spirit. This Golden Scaled Python had cultivated here for a thousand years and only waited for it to transform into a spirit. But today, because of their own selfish desires, everyone wanted to stop this Golden Scaled Python from transcending the mortal realm. Isn’t that a sin?

“Roar–”

At this moment, the Golden Scaled Python, which had been constantly attacked by the crowd, actually let out a dragon-like roar. Its body grew by more than ten feet, and its entire body was covered with golden scales. Clearly, it was already half a snake and half a flood dragon.

When everyone saw that the voice shook the valley, they were already completely frightened out of their wits. However, they were still launching attacks in their hands, using everything they could in their lives.

The Golden Scaled Python suddenly soared into the sky, causing many people on both sides to vomit blood and fly backwards. Some of the people with slightly lower cultivation levels were directly reduced to a bloody mist under this terrifying impact, causing their bodies and spirits to be annihilated!

Seeing the Golden Scaled Python fly up, many people were even more frightened. Just as everyone was panicking, a burst of thunder suddenly sounded. Countless profound lightning bolts descended from the nine heavens. This caused many people to be even more frightened to the point that their souls were shattered. “It’s heavenly tribulation! Heavenly tribulation!”

Seeing that the Nine Heavens Profound Bomb was coming with terrifying momentum, everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly rode their swords and flew to both sides, “Rumble!” A series of loud explosions rang out in the valley. The magma below immediately surged endlessly, and the Golden Scaled Python was attacked by a few profound blasts. Its body instantly became bloody and extremely terrifying.

However, the lightning tribulation did not stop there. It continued to descend one after another. Every time, it beat the scarlet-eyed golden-scaled python until its flesh was bloody and its scales scattered.

Evidently, like mortals, the Scarlet-eyed Golden Scaled Python also needed to undergo tribulation to become a spirit. If it succeeded in undergoing tribulation, it would smoothly turn into a flood dragon. After thousands of years, if it succeeded in undergoing tribulation again, it would turn into a dragon. However, if it failed to undergo tribulation, it would also be like mortals who would be annihilated by lightning triblasts.

At this moment, countless bolts of lightning continued to descend. The Scarlet-eyed Golden Scaled Python could only use the golden scales it had just formed to resist. However, the scarlet red scales on its tail were unable to turn into golden scales.

Evidently, this Golden Scaled Python was still a little short of turning into a Golden Scaled Dragon. It was only because it had just been forced into a helpless state by the crowd that it took the risk of turning into a spirit beforehand. However, the Golden Scaled Python, which was unable to completely turn into a spirit, was doomed to fail under such heavenly tribulation divine lightning.

“Rumble!”

The thunder continued. At this moment, another golden shadow suddenly flew out of the cave. Looking closely, it was actually a thirty to forty zhang long female snake. It turned out that there were actually two Scarlet-eyed Golden Scaled Pythons cultivating in the cave. One male and one female. Just now, the male snake was protecting the female snake’s Soul Formation.

The female snake rushed forward to help the male snake resist the lightning tribulation. Its body was also covered with golden scales, only the scarlet flame scales on its tail hadn’t fallen off. Clearly, it was a bit lacking in Spirit Transformation.

“This …”

At this moment, when everyone saw the scene of the two snakes resisting the lightning tribulation together, they finally felt guilty. Everything had its own spirit. Originally, the two Golden Scaled Pythons could successfully break free from the mortal world and transform into spirits, but because of their selfish desires, the two snakes failed to cross the tribulation, and their thousand years of cultivation had fallen short.

Originally, these two snakes could have swallowed the Fire Ganoderma in advance, so that they could successfully transform into spirits. However, beast cultivators were not as cunning as human xiuzhe and demons. Since they had been guarding this place for hundreds of years, they had to wait until the Fire Ganoderma matured and naturally shed it.

After half an incense stick of time, the lightning tribulation finally passed. Although the two Golden Scaled Pythons had not been wiped out by the heavenly tribulation, their bodies were still bloodshot. Especially the male snake, which was on the verge of death.

Everyone was shocked. Only then did they react. The two snakes were no longer a threat. Now, if they didn’t go to the cave below to get the Fire Spirit Ganoderma, when would they wait?

Just as the elders were about to take action, the wind and clouds suddenly surged in the distance. The sunset sky was like a brocade, and dozens of sword lights suddenly flew over. A powerful aura also enveloped them, forcefully intimidating the hundreds of xiuzhe here.

“That’s …”

Everyone looked from afar, only to see that the dozens of sword lights were coming in a hurry. It was clear that someone was riding a sword and approaching. Only then did everyone see the appearance of the dozens of people clearly.

“It’s from the Ying Clan!”

Someone in the crowd immediately recognized who it was. It was from the Ying Clan of the Northern Territory. The Ying Clan was an ancient cultivation clan in Immortal North Ancient Realm, and their clansmen rarely went out. In the eyes of outsiders, they had always been mysterious, and their strength was far from comparable to the Ye Clan of the Southern Territory.

Why would the Ying Family come here?

Everyone immediately guessed that a small thousand-year-old fire ganoderma lucidum was not enough to attract the Ying Clan over. Could it be … those two red-eyed Golden Scaled Pythons?

Sure enough, two white-haired elders were the most unfathomable amongst the dozens of people. With a stretch of their hands, a dazzling azure array instantly covered the two scarlet-eyed golden-scaled pythons.

“It’s the Spirit Binding Array!”

Someone in the crowd cried out in alarm. Inside the azure light array, the two golden-scaled pythons that were originally on the verge of death suddenly fought back with all their might.

However, the two Golden Scaled Pythons were unable to charge out of the formation. However, their power caused the entire valley to tremble. If they hadn’t been seriously injured earlier, even the Spirit Binding Formation of the Ying Clan wouldn’t have trapped the two Red-eyed Golden Scaled Pythons so easily.

On this side, before everyone could regain their senses, Xiao Chen unfurled the Ling Xian Step and rushed into the cave below the valley.
