Within the bamboo hut in the Snake People Tribe's Ancestral Land, a stone statue stood in the center. Its body was a giant python, and despite being confined within the small hut, it exuded an aura of yearning for freedom, as if wanting to pierce through the bamboo structure above it.
Zhao Li retracted his gaze from the giant python, which was rearing its head and hissing as if it wanted to bite a hole in the sky. He felt a faint sense of something unusual in his heart; the statue was not a dead object.
"Something abnormal is definitely demonic. I want to see what kind of demon you are!"
Zhao Li became interested. He stopped bickering with her, his eyes slightly narrowed, and then a Divine Light shot out from them, blasting towards the Old Woman. With his current Soul Power, how could this small Dou Sect Elder possibly withstand it? In just an instant, the Old Woman fell unconscious.
Then, Zhao Li changed his Hand Seals, and immortal light flowed around his hands before being injected into the Old Woman's body. After that, the Old Woman opened her eyes again and stood up, but it seemed as if she was no longer in control of herself, or rather, a different Soul had taken over her body.
Her body was stiff as she faced the Giant Serpent Divine Statue, her eyes filled with fanaticism. She completely ignored Zhao Li and the others, kneeling down towards the Giant Serpent Divine Statue. After three kowtows, she formed a series of strange Hand Seals with her hands.
Although these events sound like a long story, they actually occurred within a few breaths. Zhao Li's sudden move was unexpected by everyone. This sudden change caused everyone to be stunned, and then the remaining Elders also suddenly turned their gaze towards Zhao Li.
Even though this person was brought by Yun Shan, here, they would not sit by and watch Zhao Li act so presumptuously.
In an instant, five chilling auras rose from the bodies of several people, converging before the Giant Serpent Divine Statue and condensing into a pitch-black giant python in mid-air. The giant python's emotionless eyes stared intently at Zhao Li, and a fierce aura emerged, as if it was about to devour someone!
Feeling the cold yet illusory Momentum pressing down, Zhao Li chuckled. He just looked up at the black giant python, without any other movement. But with just that simple glance, the giant python was like a snake whose vital point had been squeezed; it stopped moving. The next moment, it actually began to dissipate, slowly vanishing into the air.
The moment the black giant python dissipated, several clumps of Black Qi returned to the bodies of the several Old Men and Old Women. The Old Guys, however, suffered a Backlash, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out...
"A small punishment to serve as a warning. Don't let it happen again!"
Zhao Li ultimately gave the Juniors a little face.
The several Elders were inwardly horrified. They had not expected a random young man to possess such great ability. They had only seen this kind of ability on Yun Shan.
Inevitably, a wave of regret arose in their hearts. Such a strong person was simply not someone their Snake People Tribe could provoke.
Unfortunately, in recent decades, perhaps because of Yun Shan, they seemed to have been elevated to a height that did not match their own Strength, cultivating a distorted Temperament. They were intoxicated by the notion that as long as they didn't provoke Yun Shan, they would be worry-free.
Even now, they still subconsciously looked towards Yun Shan with pleading eyes, hoping that he would, for Feng Ling's sake, help the Snake People Tribe overcome this calamity.
But before Yun Shan could make any move, they were astonished to discover that the frail and withered Fourth Elder was slowly rising at this moment, landing in the heart of the Divine Statue. Then, she and the Divine Statue emitted light together.
As the light spread, the Space twisted wherever it passed. The next instant, the Space of the entire Wood house seemed to have been pulled into another Space.
"Hmph, an Insignificant Trick!"
Zhao Li snorted coldly. The light within the stone statue seemed to be frozen in the air, and then, under the vibration of The Void, the Wood house returned to its original Space.
This kind of method, let alone him, even Yun Shan could easily resolve. This made him a little less interested in this secret – a monster that wasn't even a Dou Sheng, besides possibly knowing some things he didn't because it had lived for a long time, Zhao Li really couldn't think of any use for it.
With a thought, a Long Sword formed from Dou Qi appeared at his fingertips. As Sword Qi was emitted and retracted, the Space around him rippled like calm Water.
Then, Zhao Li pointed his sword at the stone statue, looked up at the Giant Python Divine Statue, and said indifferently:
"Do you want to come out yourself, or do you want This Seat to invite you out?"
As his voice fell, the stone statue actually began to shake, constantly emitting and retracting radiant light. Then, a Giant Python Phantom, almost identical to the stone statue, slowly solidified. It looked at Zhao Li, and a cold voice came:
"Who are you, to dare be disrespectful to Ancestor You!"
Zhao Li's gaze swept up and down the Phantom for a moment, then he smiled. He raised his left hand, and the Origin of the Bone Chilling Flame appeared in his palm.
The moment the Bone Chilling Flame appeared, the Giant Python Phantom involuntarily looked at the Flame, and an uncontrollable look of desire appeared in its eyes.
"Want to Devour it? Then take it!"
Zhao Li flicked his finger, and the Bone Chilling Flame shot out. It was just a flickering Flame before, but after leaving Zhao Li, it grew against the Wind, instantly turning into a Fire Dragon no smaller than the giant python.
Similarly, in the eyes of the Eerie White Fire Dragon, a trace of instinctive desire also appeared!
When Heavenly Flames meet, there will inevitably be an impulse to Devour each other. This is instinct, regardless of whether the Heavenly Flame has developed sentience!
At Zhao Li's current Realm, few things could escape his eyes. The giant python coiled in The Void was clearly transformed from a Heavenly Flame!
In The Void, a dragon and a python, one black and one white, faced each other from a distance. The black and white Flames on their bodies also constantly rolled like waves. Finally, as if competing with each other, they continuously released high temperatures. Their appearance was as if they wanted to outdo each other, truly giving a sense of rivalry.
"My luck is good. I really didn't expect that within this small Snake People Tribe, there would still be a hidden Heavenly Flame. It seems that even the Snake People Tribe itself doesn't know of its existence."
Zhao Li saw the confronting dragon and python and felt that his luck seemed good. If he could also comprehend the Rules within this Heavenly Flame and add them to the framework of his Inner Universe, its evolution would definitely be much faster.
He originally wanted to directly capture it, but seeing Xiao Yan beside him, he thought of giving him another boost, so that he could grow up sooner. At that time, whether he went to the Great Thousand or stayed in this world and laid low, he could rest assured.
Having cultivated to this point, the resources Zhao Li needed to make further progress could be said to be an immeasurable number. If he relied only on himself, he could only grind Time.
This was still the case even though he had clearly seen the future Route and had already walked a short distance.
In addition, Zhao Li also needed to use this opportunity to verify his idea – is Heavenly Flame a shattered Plane Embryo!
Thinking of this, Zhao Li struck out a stream of Dou Qi and injected it into the white Fire Dragon, adding some agility to its originally dull and wooden eyes.
"Go."
Then, Zhao Li lightly shouted. It seemed to have received a command, reared its head and hissed, then crashed towards the black giant python.
Afterward, he said to Xiao Yan:
"Little Guy, watch carefully. This is the process of Heavenly Flames Devouring each other!"
