Then, a hint of mockery seemed to appear in the corner of its eye.
It will not spare even an ant.
Especially human cultivators like these, they must taste incredibly delicious.
Seemingly worried that the ants in front of it would be frightened away by its enormous body, the Black Water Serpent suddenly gathered its strength and pounced out of the water.
Given the ant's position, it only needs to exert a little effort to swallow it whole and make it its meal.
The Blackwater Serpent burst out of the water in an instant, opening its blood-red maw and emitting a nauseating stench as it lunged at Li Yao.
"Good grief, I didn't provoke you, but you provoked me first!"
"Then I'll let you taste what it's like to mess with me!"
Li Yao smiled lightly, showing no fear in the face of the Black Water Serpent's respect.
His hands had already begun to gather spiritual energy from his body.
Immediately, he formed the 'Limitless Seal' with both hands and pushed it forcefully towards the Black Water Serpent.
Suddenly, a huge, dark gold Wuji pattern burst forth from his palm.
Buzz!
A deafening sound of the Great Dao, carrying unparalleled momentum, rushed towards the black water serpent that was pouncing towards it.
The Blackwater Serpent was quite ferocious, neither dodging nor hiding, showing no fear whatsoever, and actually charged directly towards the Wuji pattern.
boom!
A deafening roar erupted.
The Wuji pattern struck the Black Water Serpent squarely on the head, and the immense force sent it crashing into the cliff face.
Immediately afterwards, the Blackwater Serpent let out a bloodcurdling scream.
However, it was just a single cry of pain.
Even though Li Yao's attack was incredibly powerful, it only caused the Black Water Serpent to cry out in pain.
The Blackwater Serpent was not harmed!
As expected of the Blackwater Serpent, it is indeed very powerful!
However, the Blackwater Serpent became enraged.
Two beams of angry light shot out from its pair of cold, serpentine eyes.
It was actually hurt by a tiny human being.
And it hurts a lot!
That's absolutely outrageous!
The Blackwater Serpent roared angrily, and two beams of red light carrying a scorching aura shot out from its pair of crimson snake eyes, heading straight for Li Yao. The surrounding air was distorted and deformed by the intense heat.
Li Yao extended his hand and the divine spear, like a long rainbow, roared and crisscrossed, spinning rapidly with a sharp explosion, and rushed into the two crimson beams of light that were shooting towards him.
The rapidly spinning divine spear instantly shattered the crimson beam of light, turning it into specks of light that dissipated into the intensely distorted air.
roar!
With a roar powerful enough to shake the heavens and the earth, the Black Water Serpent suddenly opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a cloud of purplish-black smoke.
The smoke was light, but it moved extremely fast.
Li Yao quickly waved his hand, conjuring an ice wall in front of him to block the purplish-black smoke of the Black Water Serpent.
A hissing sound was heard, and the ice wall was immediately eroded by purplish-black smoke, emitting eerie wisps of mist.
Li Yao was startled. If he were hit by this purplish-black smoke, he would probably be corroded to the point of being nothing but bones.
Of course, he didn't need to be afraid. He had the Dragon Turtle Shell protecting him, as well as the Xuan Yin Sword Armor. Even if he was hit by the purplish-black smoke, he should be fine.
Moreover, the ice wall he conjured also blocked the purplish-black smoke.
This enraged the Blackwater Serpent, which had lived for an unknown amount of time, causing it to roar in fury.
Its attacks were easily neutralized by the tiny human before it, which was infuriating!
Its enormous head swayed, and its tall body arched on the sea surface, rapidly gathering its strength.
Soon, it gathered its strength and launched a fierce and domineering attack on Li Yao.
"Heh heh, you're finally getting serious!"
Facing the ferocious Black Water Serpent charging towards him, Li Yao showed no fear whatsoever; instead, an excited expression appeared on his face.
Although the Blackwater Serpent's previous attacks were very powerful, it underestimated Li Yao and did not unleash its full strength.
This greatly displeased Li Yao, who was eager to know just how powerful the Black Water Serpent truly was.
Finally, after a series of attacks, the Blackwater Serpent had no choice but to become more vigilant and get serious.
Just as the Blackwater Serpent was about to crash into him, Li Yao brandished his divine spear and slashed down from the sky.
With a loud bang, the divine spear tore a hole in the void and landed on the head of the Black Water Serpent.
The Blackwater Serpent felt dizzy and saw stars, then let out a painful scream.
However, its incredibly hard head remained unharmed.
"Wow, his head is incredibly resilient!"
Li Yao was greatly surprised.
He had just used considerable force, yet it hadn't harmed the Blackwater Serpent at all.
However, the Blackwater Serpent became even more enraged, its eyes gleaming with an even more terrifying ferocity.
Although Li Yao's attack did not harm it, it brought it immense humiliation and pain.
It has never suffered such a blow!
roar!
Enraged, the Blackwater Serpent roared to the sky, unleashing an unparalleled aura and launching an overwhelming attack on Li Yao.
Chapter 326 An Alternative Astral Projection
"Hehe, looks like I'll have to get serious this time!"
Faced with the overwhelming onslaught of the Blackwater Serpent, Li Yao's face revealed an extremely excited expression.
At the same time, a bold idea suddenly popped into his head.
He immediately activated the "Great Dao True Scripture," and countless dazzling golden rays burst forth from his entire body.
Immediately, a beam of light flew out from his body, and a powerful divine soul instantly transformed into a strange beast, appearing before the Black Water Serpent.
The Blackwater Serpent was taken aback and actually stopped its attack.
Suddenly, a strange beast with countless fiery red flames leaping about on its body appeared before it.
What's going on?
If there were any disciples of the Qingyun Sect present, upon seeing the strange beast before them, they would surely exclaim in surprise: "Spirit Lord!"
Indeed, what appeared before the Blackwater Serpent was a Qilin.
However, this is not a water unicorn.
It is a fire qilin, the fire qilin from the world of Fengyun.
However, this fire qilin was much larger than a real fire qilin, comparable to the black water serpent.
In fact, this was not a true fire qilin, but a fire qilin illusion created by Li Yao through astral projection, merging with the essence and blood of a fire qilin.
Although it was just an illusion, it was fused with Li Yao's primordial spirit and the essence of the fire qilin, enough to generate tremendous power.
This was something Li Yao had just had a sudden inspiration for, combined with his previous insights from the first volume of the "Heavenly Book," which he then tried to put into practice.
Surprisingly, it succeeded!
The Heavenly Book is indeed powerful, containing all the laws of cultivation in the world, which can give rise to countless paths of cultivation.
Different people can gain their own insights into spiritual practice from this, forming a completely new method of spiritual cultivation.
Li Yao attempted to create an alternative method of astral projection based on his understanding of the first volume of the "Heavenly Book".
That is one's own primordial spirit, which combines with the essence of the divine beast contained within his body to create the illusion of the divine beast.
Sure enough, he successfully conjured the illusion of a fire unicorn.
An immense and unparalleled aura erupted from his body, spreading across the sky and forming a suffocating pressure that surged toward the Black Water Serpent.
Li Yao, who had transformed into a fire unicorn, unleashed the aura of a divine beast, instantly stunning the Black Water Serpent.
The Blackwater Serpent wasn't afraid, but the sudden appearance of the strange beast made it wary.
Rumble...
When the fiery red aura emanating from Li Yao collided with the purplish-black aura emanating from the Black Water Serpent, a deafening thunderous sound erupted, causing the entire sea to surge and churn, creating a truly magnificent sight.
Li Yao didn't give the Blackwater Serpent a chance to react. He immediately spurred his four fiery red hooves toward the stunned Blackwater Serpent and spewed out a blazing pillar of crimson fire.
hiss hiss hiss...
Before the Blackwater Serpent could react, its enormous head was engulfed by the pillar of crimson fire.
A pungent, smoky aroma of burnt flesh immediately filled the air. A large patch of snakeskin on its head was instantly charred, and wisps of white smoke rose from the charred area.
The Blackwater Serpent shook its head violently, letting out a series of shrill howls.
The intense burning pain caused the upper half of the Blackwater Serpent's body to slam heavily onto the icy, merciless sea, where it tumbled violently.
Suddenly, the merciless sea near the shore began to churn violently, with waves surging and crashing in layers, one after another, rushing in all directions.
roar!
Li Yao, transformed into a fire unicorn, naturally pressed his advantage.
He surged back and forth on the sea, his sharp claws slapping rapidly at the Blackwater Serpent.
