Battle Through the Heavens: Marry Cao Ying, Reward is Devouring Ancestral Symbol

One palm strike to suppress the heavenly serpent!The flying boat pierced through the mountain mist, and the scene ahead suddenly opened up.

Surrounded by several steep mountain peaks, an ancient complex of buildings built against the mountains came into view.

The pavilions and terraces were mostly decorated with snake patterns, their simple and ancient style revealing a hint of feminine grace, while the air was filled with a faint scent of vegetation and a barely perceptible fishy smell of snakes.

The mountain gate of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was already close at hand.

The silver-gray flying boat hovered above the mountain gate of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion without landing, its streamlined hull gleaming coldly in the morning light.

At the mountain gate, two mountain-guarding Disciples dressed in dark green attire with snake patterns embroidered on their sleeves were the first to notice the anomaly.

They looked up at the sky and saw that the unfamiliar flying boat actually dared to stop so unscrupulously directly above the Sect, and their expressions immediately darkened.

”Who goes there! This is the restricted area of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion’s mountain gate, idle people should leave quickly!”

One of the Disciples shouted sternly, Dou Qi surging behind him as it condensed into a pair of slightly illusory green energy wings, and he was about to take to the air to drive them away.

However, his figure had just left the ground by no more than a few dozen feet—

”Boom!!!”

An indescribable and terrifying pressure suddenly descended, as if the entire firmament had collapsed!

Before the two Disciples could even cry out in alarm, they were struck as if by an invisible giant mountain, falling prostrate on the ground with blood seeping from their seven orifices, their faces filled with horror and pain, unable to move even a finger.

It wasn’t just them.

The several mountain peaks where the entire Heavenly Serpent Mansion was located were enveloped by a will as vast as a sea of stars and as heavy as the earth.

The air seemed to be filled with lead, and every wisp of wind solidified.

”Enemy attack—!”

A sharp alarm sounded hastily from deep within the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, only to be swallowed by an even greater dead silence.

Figures of varying strengths soared into the sky from various buildings and Immortal Caves; there were Dou Wangs, Dou Huangs, and even several majestic Auras belonging to Dou Zong.

But as soon as these figures left the buildings and leapt into the air, it was as if they had crashed into an invisible wall of bronze and iron.

”Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Muffled sounds echoed one after another as those figures, who were considered powerful overlords within the Empire on ordinary days, were forcibly pressed down from the sky like dumplings falling into a pot, crashing miserably back onto the ground or rooftops.

Each of them had their blood and Qi churning, their eyes filled with terror.

They barely managed to lift their heads and look toward the sky.

Then, everyone froze, their pupils shrinking to the size of needlepoints.

Directly above the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, at some unknown time, a palm so unimaginably huge had emerged!

That palm was entirely Chaos-colored, with palm lines as clear as ravines and mountains, and each finger was like a giant pillar supporting the heavens and earth.

As it hung there quietly, it had already completely enveloped the several mountain peaks of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion in shadow.

The sunlight was blocked, and the world fell into darkness, with only the edges of that giant palm rippling with heart-palpitating waves of destructive energy.

”This... what is this?!”

”Dou Zun... no, this pressure... far exceeds a Dou Zun!”

”It’s over... is the sky going to destroy my Heavenly Serpent Mansion?!”

Desperate whispers spread through the deathly silent mountain gate.

Beneath this giant palm, any mountain-protecting formation or Sect foundation seemed so laughable. Many low-level Disciples had already broken down mentally and collapsed onto the ground.

Just as the giant palm began to slowly press down, and the destructive Aura caused the mountain peaks to tremble slightly and rocks to tumble—

”Which expert dares to invade my Heavenly Serpent Mansion?! Break for me—!”

An old but furious roar exploded from deep within the main peak. Immediately after, a streak of pitch-black light broke through the palace halls with a determined force and crashed resolutely toward the sky-covering giant palm!

It was a gaunt old man dressed in a black python robe, his eyes flashing with sharp light, his body surrounded by Dou Qi as solid as ink, and his presence had surprisingly reached the level of a two-star Dou Zun!

”It’s Old Ancestor Hei Jue! The Old Ancestor has come out of seclusion!”

”Old Ancestor, save my Heavenly Serpent Mansion!”

The Heavenly Serpent Mansion Disciples and Elders, who were originally in despair, felt as if they had caught onto a final straw, and their eyes burst with the light of wild joy.

Old Ancestor Hei Jue was the strongest existing member of their Heavenly Serpent Mansion; he had been in seclusion for many years and had finally appeared today!

Old Ancestor Hei Jue shook his arms, and his vast black Dou Qi transformed into a terrifying hundred-zhang giant python.

The giant python hissed at the sky, emitting cold and bone-eroding ripples; it was one of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion’s supreme techniques.

Heavenly Serpent Soul-Devouring Strike!

This strike, which used all his strength, was enough to severely injure or even kill a fellow two-star Dou Zun!

The black giant python tore through the air, carrying the hopes of countless people, and crashed heavily into the center of the slowly descending giant palm.

”Boom—!”

A deafening collision sound echoed through the heavens and earth.

However, the expected scene of the giant palm being shattered or at least blocked did not occur.

At the moment the imposing black giant python made contact with the center of the giant palm...

It was like a clay ox entering the sea, failing to stir even a single ripple before being silently swallowed and dissolved by that Chaos light!

After swallowing the black giant python, not only was the giant palm undamaged, but its downward-pressing momentum seemed to become even more solid and heavy!

”How is this possible?!”

The fury and determination on Old Ancestor Hei Jue’s face instantly froze, turning into boundless horror and disbelief.

His full-strength strike couldn’t even make the opponent pause for a single moment?

He suddenly looked up toward the flying boat, his voice trembling with shock and anger: ”Who exactly is Senior?

When did my Heavenly Serpent Mansion offend Your Excellency, that you would commit such an act of extermination?!”

His heart was already in a state of upheaval.

To be able to swallow his full-strength strike so nonchalantly, this was definitely not something an ordinary high-level Dou Zun could do!

Could there be a... terrifying existence inside this flying boat who is already impacting the legendary Dou Saint realm, with half a foot already in the Saint stage?

When did the Heavenly Serpent Mansion provoke such a figure?

Old Ancestor Hei Jue racked his brain but couldn’t think of a single clue.

Faced with such an absolute gap in power, even the thought of resisting was nearly crushed, leaving only the deepest fear and confusion.

The cabin door of the flying boat had opened at some point.

A figure in a black robe stood quietly at the bow, his sleeves fluttering slightly in the wind, his expression calm and his gaze indifferent as he looked down at the apocalyptic scene below.

Beside him, a girl with jade-green eyes stood silently.

”The Heavenly Serpent Mansion secretly communicated with the Nine Serene Earth Nether Python, leaked the secret of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, and intended to harm those close to me. Today, I have come to demand an explanation.”

As the words fell, that giant palm hanging in the sky, which had become even more terrifying after swallowing Old Ancestor Hei Jue’s full-strength strike...

The ”Great Desolate Imprisoning Sky Palm,” carrying the power to annihilate everything, continued to slowly press down toward the Heavenly Serpent Mansion’s mountain gate.

”Senior, is there some misunderstanding?!”

Feeling the pressure weighing down on him.

Hei Jue’s face trembled, and he couldn’t help but shout.

”If we had the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, we would have long ago nurtured them with all our heart; how could we possibly have leaked it to the Nine Serene Earth Nether Python!”

And Huang Ling, who was kneeling on the ground, saw this figure, her pupils instantly shrinking as she shouted, ”Grandmaster Shen! Grandmaster Shen! There must be a misunderstanding, there must be a misunderstanding!”
