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

Chapter 324 Suppressing the Demon Howling SkyYao Xiaotian looked at that withered face, his pupils shrinking slightly.

But he quickly returned to normal, a cold sneer curling at the corners of his mouth.

”My dear brother, you actually managed to wake up?”

His tone was filled with sarcasm. ”Unfortunately, what use is waking up? In your current state, you probably can’t even stand up, can you?”

Yao Ming did not speak, only staring at him fixedly.

Yao Xiaotian stopped looking at him, his gaze falling back onto Shen Wen.

”No matter who you are, you must die here today.”

He raised his hand, and pitch-black light condensed in his palm.

However, at the very moment he was about to strike—

An emerald-green flame suddenly surged out from within Shen Wen’s body.

Living Spirit Qi.

That was the power he had comprehended from the Living Spirit Flame; although it was only a simulation, it contained ultimate vitality.

That surge of vitality poured into Yao Ming’s body, and his withered frame actually began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Beneath the shriveled skin, flesh and blood began to fill out.

The collapsed chest cavity began to swell.

In those sunken eye sockets, the light grew brighter and brighter.

Yao Xiaotian’s expression finally changed.

”You—”

He looked at Shen Wen, his eyes full of shock.

This Human Race brat actually possessed such means?

Yao Ming slowly stood up.

Though his figure was still thin and his aura remained weak, he stood up.

He looked at Yao Xiaotian, his eyes filled with sky-toppling hatred.

”My dear brother, today shall be the day of your death.”

As his voice fell, the pressure of a Dou Saint erupted violently from within his body!

He raised his hand and struck out with a palm.

This palm strike had no fancy flourishes; it was the most direct attack. But the moment that palm struck, the surrounding space suddenly distorted, and countless streaks of pitch-black light surged from his palm, blasting fiercely toward Yao Xiaotian!

Yao Xiaotian’s expression shifted, and he hurriedly raised his hand to block.

The two forces collided, producing a dull, booming sound.

Yao Xiaotian’s figure swayed slightly, while Yao Ming retreated several steps.

If he were at his peak, this single palm strike from Yao Ming would have been enough to make Yao Xiaotian spit blood and fall back.

But now, having been sealed for centuries with a withered Physical Body and a weak Soul, the strength he could exert was not even one-tenth of its former self.

Shen Wen glanced at Yao Ming without saying much.

He raised his hand, and the phantoms of three ancestral talismans emerged again. The great desolation monument floated before him, and the great dao treasure bottle condensed above his head.

”Together.”

As his voice fell, he was the first to move.

The Xing Character Secret was activated to its fullest. His speed reached the extreme, appearing behind Yao Xiaotian in the blink of an eye!

He threw a punch!

This punch carried the power of the Azure Heaven Hegemon Body, the Buddhist light of the Present Tathagata Sutra, and the augmentation of the three ancestral talismans. Its strength was enough to heavily injure an ordinary Dou Zun!

Yao Xiaotian met it with a backhand palm.

Punch and palm met, and a violent wave of energy exploded.

Shen Wen was knocked back several dozen feet, and Yao Xiaotian also took a step back.

The moment he retreated, Yao Ming’s attack arrived.

That pitch-black light, like a venomous snake, drilled accurately toward Yao Xiaotian’s heart from behind, cold and ruthless.

Yao Xiaotian let out a muffled groan, his figure swaying as he barely managed to dodge.

But his expression had completely changed.

If it were only Shen Wen alone, though troublesome, he wouldn’t necessarily lose.

But adding Yao Ming, the former Clan Chief—even if Yao Ming was currently extremely weak, he was still a Dou Saint.

Two combatants of Dou Saint-level strength—even if one was near death and the other relied on secret techniques to boost his power—were enough to put him in a perilous situation.

Yao Xiaotian took a deep breath, and the aura around his body suddenly surged.

In the next instant, his form began to change.

Countless pitch-black scales emerged from beneath his skin, and his body expanded frantically, transforming in an instant into a massive black python several hundred feet long!

The giant python’s entire body was covered in pitch-black scales, each shimmering with eerie runic light. Its snake pupils were deep black, emitting a cold light. It opened its bloody maw, revealing two rows of grim fangs.

The true form of the Nine Serene Earth Nether Python!

Having transformed into his true form, Yao Xiaotian’s aura was more than thirty percent stronger than before.

He opened his giant mouth, and a stream of pitch-black venom shot toward Shen Wen like a sharp arrow!

Wherever the venom passed, space was corroded into tiny holes, making a sizzling sound.

Shen Wen did not meet it head-on.

Operating the Gu Treasure Art, his figure instantly vanished from the spot.

The venom missed, splashing onto the ground and instantly corroding a massive pit into the earth.

But the moment Shen Wen vanished, Yao Xiaotian’s massive snake tail swept across!

This sweep blotted out the sun; there was nowhere to hide!

Shen Wen frowned slightly and raised his hand, sending the great desolation monument to meet the snake tail.

”Boom!”

The stone tablet and the snake tail collided, producing a deafening roar.

Shen Wen was sent flying by the massive force, but the great desolation monument had blocked the strike.

At the same time, Yao Ming’s attack arrived.

His hands formed Seals, and a massive pitch-black palm print condensed above Yao Xiaotian, slamming down fiercely toward his seven-inch mark!

That was the most fatal weakness of snake-type Demonic Beasts.

Yao Xiaotian’s expression changed, and he hurriedly twisted his body to dodge.

But his body was too massive; although he avoided the seven-inch mark, the palm still slammed solidly onto his back.

”Boom!”

The massive body of the black python was slammed into the ground, creating a huge crater.

As Yao Xiaotian struggled to crawl up, Yao Ming’s second palm strike had already arrived.

This palm was aimed straight at his head.

”Wait!”

Yao Xiaotian was finally afraid.

He hurriedly spoke, his voice carrying an unmaskable terror: ”Big brother!

I was wrong!

Back then, I was possessed by greed; it was all that old thing’s doing, he was the one who bewitched me! He incited me to act against you, saying that as long as I got rid of you, I could take the position of Clan Chief!”

He spoke extremely fast, fearing that if he were a step too slow, he would be slapped to death by Yao Ming. ”Big brother, we are blood brothers from the same mother!

Regarding the events back then, I was also deceived! Over these past centuries, every time I think of it, my heart is filled with regret!”

Yao Ming’s hand paused slightly.

He looked down at the pathetic black python, a flash of complex emotion in his eyes.

Blood brothers.

Brothers from the same mother.

Back then, he had trusted this younger brother, handing over many clan affairs for him to manage.

He never expected that this brother would join forces with the clan’s Grand Elder to ambush him while he was in seclusion, sealing him at the bottom of the Nine Serene Yellow Springs to be eroded day and night by yellow springs yin stones.

Could the pain he suffered these past centuries be wiped away by a single sentence of ”regret”?

But he did not strike immediately.

Seeing this, Yao Xiaotian hurriedly continued: ”Big brother, I know I was wrong!

As long as you spare my life, from now on, I will listen to you in everything!

This position of Clan Chief was yours to begin with; I will return it to you right now!”

”And that old thing is still around; he was the mastermind behind what happened back then! If big brother wants revenge, you should find him first!”

Yao Ming was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at Shen Wen.

His gaze held an inquiry.

Shen Wen descended from mid-air, standing beside Yao Ming, his gaze falling upon the massive black python.

”Open your mind,” he said indifferently.
