With a flick of his finger, he left a faint trace of the mutated power on the snake's body. The next moment, the snake's aura gradually changed, unexpectedly gaining a fierce and tyrannical presence.
Mu Hua and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they quickly retreated. One of them shouted in a low voice, "The Great Serpent Supreme!" Xiao Wenbing glanced at him irritably and said, "If it really is the Great Serpent Supreme, can you defeat him?"
The immortal blushed, and dared not refute.
For these immortals, transforming into the form of the Great Serpent Supreme was not difficult. However, each person's aura was different, making it not so easy to conceal. It was unclear what method Xiao Wenbing had used to completely alter the aura of the Great Serpent's incarnation, which caused these immortals to be utterly terrified.
A celestial being whispered a question to Mu Hua. However, even Mu Hua was completely clueless. To be able to imitate the aura of a top-tier celestial being so perfectly was simply unbelievable.
With a wave of Xiao Wenbing's hand, the giant serpent transformed and soared into the air.
A large tear appeared in the rainbow shield at just the right moment, allowing the giant snake to transform and fly out.
"Hiss..."
The enormous hissing of the serpent insects carried far and wide; under Xiao Wenbing's command, even the roar of the great serpent was perfectly imitated.
The several beast demon immortals surrounding Changhua were dumbfounded. They never expected that the Great Serpent Supreme, who had fallen into the Immortal Imprisonment Cave, would not only escape unscathed but also hide in human territory.
"Fools, what are you doing?" the Great Serpent Supreme roared angrily, "Big Ears! You despicable villain, how dare you ambush me! I will kill you!"
The Multi-Handed Supreme's expression was one of utter horror. Others, intimidated by the Serpent Supreme's usual tyranny, dared not doubt it once they sensed its aura. But it had been confronting its old adversary for millions of years, and no change in the other could escape its notice.
In its eyes, this giant serpent did indeed exude the aura of a supreme serpent. Even its voice was the same. But the feeling it gave was still somewhat different.
Within the other person's body, there seemed to be a mysterious power, a power that appeared incredibly gentle yet possessed an extremely powerful and intimidating aura.
In the blink of an eye, it had already determined what kind of power was emanating from the other party.
What other power besides the power of the gods could possibly inspire fear in him?
However, to its surprise, this divine power seemed a little weak, as if it could defeat the opponent with just a flick of its finger.
With a slight shake of its head, it immediately banished this "strange" thought. Divine power, how could it be so easily destroyed? It had already made up its mind. This giant serpent must have stumbled upon some incredible fortune in the Immortal Imprisonment Cave, allowing it to successfully comprehend divine power and take the most crucial step into the realm of gods.
However, due to the limited time, this guy's earth god power was only in its most basic state.
However, even the most basic divine power was enough to transform this old adversary. Therefore, its first thought was not to fight, but to slip away and flee.
The giant serpent burst into laughter, saying, "Big Ears, you didn't expect this, did you? I'll still be alive."
The Multi-Handed Supreme's expression froze. In its memory, the Great Serpent Supreme was a vengeful and ruthless person. Logically speaking, since it had forced it to fall into the Immortal Imprisonment Cave, this guy should have immediately come to settle scores with it as soon as it came out. Why would it still be talking to it?
A hint of doubt flashed through his mind. But upon hearing the serpent's incarnation call it "Big Ears," his suspicions vanished immediately. This nickname was the serpent's exclusive right; no one else had ever called it that before.
With a quick glance, seeing that the Great Serpent Supreme didn't seem to intend to attack immediately, the Multi-Armed Supreme's yearning for divine power overwhelmed everything else, and it eagerly asked, "How did you cultivate divine power?"
Upon hearing this, the hundreds of demon immortals around them were greatly shocked. It turned out that this supreme being had already mastered the power of a god, a power that was only known in legends. Instantly, their eyes became somewhat unpredictable.
In the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, strength represents everything. When the Multi-Handed Supreme was at its peak, all demon races, whether beastmen or insectoids, obeyed its every command. But now, it seems that the situation is turning sour.
A burst of white light erupted from the body of the serpent incarnate. When the white light dissipated, the incomparably handsome face of the serpent supreme appeared.
"Big Ears, do you want to know how divine power is forged?"
"certainly."
"Alright, for the sake of our longtime rivalry, I'll tell you. How steel is forged is how divine power is forged," the serpent incarnation said solemnly.
“Steel…” the Multi-Handed Supreme muttered to itself, but no matter how hard it racked its brains, it couldn’t figure out the relationship between the two.
Seeing the increasingly suspicious look in the Multi-Armed Supreme's eyes, the serpent avatar immediately declared with absolute certainty, "I swear on my reputation and serpentine character that I am absolutely not lying."
The expression of the Multi-Handed Supreme immediately became solemn. The Great Serpent Supreme was, after all, a top-tier figure. Since he said so, he certainly wouldn't lie.
Not only the Multi-Handed Supreme, but almost all the Earth Beast Immortals were pondering the meaning of this sentence.
The first step to becoming a god is to comprehend divine power. Only by comprehending this mysterious power can one possibly achieve their goal.
For these celestial beasts, receiving guidance from a supreme being who has comprehended divine power is an incredibly rare opportunity...
Surrounded by numerous demons and immortals, Zhang Hua frowned in deep thought. Divine power was something he also longed for.
Suddenly, a soft, insect-like voice reached my ears: "Idiot. I was just kidding them. What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and get down into the protective shield."
Changhua shuddered, his expression becoming increasingly strange.
Although the one who uttered those words was not human, he held the Great Serpent Supreme in utter awe of his cultivation. He would never have imagined that such a master could lie.
He glanced around furtively and understood something. He moved swiftly, rushing straight down at the fastest speed he had ever seen.
Although teleportation is fast, one's defense and responsiveness are greatly reduced the moment teleportation is activated. If discovered and attacked, it would be a huge problem. Therefore, he chose the most direct method: escaping by speed.
As expected, Changhua's sudden escape alerted many demons and immortals, but that moment of hesitation allowed him to escape successfully.
The rainbow shield remained in place. Changhua's figure flashed across it and disappeared, safely returning to Huangzhou City.
The Multi-Handed Supreme's expression changed, his eyes flashing with ferocity, and he asked, "Great Serpent, how did you come out from among the human race?"
The giant serpent laughed loudly, then suddenly turned around, its back to the assembled demons and immortals, raised its rear end high, and slapped it a few times with great force, producing a dull "slap slap" sound.
Then his expression shifted, returning to his original form, and he smiled at the Multi-Handed Supreme, asking, "What do you think?"
At this point, even the most foolish monster would realize they had been tricked.
The Multi-Armed Supreme, his face ashen, roared, "You are not the Great Serpent!"
Having said that, the eight large hands raised simultaneously, and several beams of azure light suddenly shot out.
However, Xiao Wenbing below was prepared. After the giant snake slapped its rear end and made a sarcastic remark, it immediately fled downwards.
They flew into the rainbow light shield at top speed, and at the same time, under Zhang Yaqi's command, the Five Elements Guardian Array closed up again.
The powerful strike from the Multi-Handed Supreme was like igniting a barrel of high explosives. All the demon immortals were enraged and attacked with all their might. However, all the energy that struck the Five Elements Guardian Array had no effect other than splashing up countless beautiful rays of light.
Volume 19, Chapter 15: Deception (Part 2)
------------------------
It hurts so much!
With a furious roar, the giant snake transformed back into a small earthworm and obediently entered the Heavenly Void Ring. However, the snake's back was already torn open, covered in blood.
After all, the Multi-Handed Supreme was a top-tier immortal, and the speed of his attack was beyond Xiao Wenbing's expectations, so the final blow still grazed his skin a little.
The reason why the serpent incarnation could appear so realistic and deceive the Multi-Handed Supreme and others was because Xiao Wenbing's consciousness was attached to the serpent. Because he had seen the true face of the Serpent Supreme, he was able to create such a miraculous effect.
Since he possessed the avatar, Xiao Wenbing also experienced the agony of being burned by blue flames when it was injured.
The Multi-Handed Supreme Being, who could dominate a region, was naturally no ordinary being. The eight giant hands emitted extremely vicious blue flames. If the serpent incarnation had not been tempered by the Netherwater, it would probably have already turned into a pus-filled mass by now.
However, although he preserved his serpent incarnation, the extreme pain he experienced was absolutely unbearable. Therefore, as soon as Xiao Wenbing's divine sense returned to his physical body, he immediately began to curse those arrogant fellows in the sky.
"Wenbing, are you alright?" Zhang Yaqi quickly channeled some Five Elements Immortal Qi into him to calm him down.
Xiao Wenbing waved his hand and said, "This guy really doesn't know what's good for him. I didn't want to argue with them, but now they've injured my avatar. Hmph, just because I haven't shown my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover."
With a flick of his finger, countless tiny points of light flew out from the Heavenly Void Ring. In the blink of an eye, a small Nascent Soul appeared beside each of the ascended immortals.
The sheer number of these smaller Nascent Soul cultivators was astonishing, numbering in the tens of thousands.
The people standing to the side, including Mu Hua, were so astonished that their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. They had never seen such a rare phenomenon before, let alone imagined it.
Yu Hui was speechless, and suddenly slapped him across the face.
Zi Liao cried out "Ouch!" and covered his face, looking pained. He asked, "Senior brother, why did you hit me?"
"Does it hurt?"
"Of course it hurts." Zi Liao grimaced in pain, but having lived under the tyranny of this senior brother since childhood, he was terrified and dared not resist.
"Since you're in so much pain, it means this isn't a dream." Yu Hui turned his head and muttered to himself, "Then how are the multiple infant spirits created?"
"Brother Mu, what is this...?" Changhua, who had just escaped danger, immediately asked.
"Nascent Soul." Mu Hua said expressionlessly. No matter how strange Xiao Wenbing's behavior was, he already had enough to bear it.
"So many? How is that possible? Brother Mu, who exactly is this person?"
“This is…” Mu Hua paused slightly, then finally said, “This is not human.”
Despite suffering a great loss, Xiao Wenbing didn't care about other people's opinions of him. Although tens of thousands of Yuan Ying were rare, in terms of strength, they were still far inferior to tens of thousands of genuine immortals. For him, it wasn't a secret worth hiding.
Numerous Nascent Soul cultivators stood around the Ascension Immortal Land, simultaneously absorbing the immortal energy. Soon, a vast amount of immortal power began to converge towards Xiao Wenbing's location.
Fortunately, this is the Immortal Realm. If it were in the lower realm, even if Xiao Wenbing and his group numbered ten times more, they would never have been able to gather such a dense concentration of immortal spiritual power.
With a flick of his wrist, the genuine Xuanwu Shield floated high above Xiao Wenbing's head, emitting a faint milky-white light.
All the power of the Earth Immortals gradually entered the Xuanwu Shield through the Ten Thousand Yuan Nascent Soul. The patterns on the shield surface lit up one by one. Then, the small bronze mirror embedded in the very center of the shield seemed to come alive.
Countless rays of light flowed and danced within the bronze mirror, like a vibrant dragon swirling within it.
The dragon darted up and down, left and right, seemingly trying to break free from the confined space within the mirror. Its rotation accelerated.
At this moment, numerous demon immortals above were desperately channeling their energy downwards.
The demon immortals, having been outmaneuvered by Xiao Wenbing, dared not show the slightest disrespect, even if it was just to save face for their leader.
After a while, just as they were all secretly having second thoughts, a small hole appeared in the airtight rainbow shield.
The demons and immortals were overjoyed, thinking that they had finally broken through the protective barrier through their persistent attacks.
Therefore, upon seeing this cave entrance, the demons and immortals most likely unleashed their next wave of attacks. Countless orbs of light and energy surged towards the cave entrance, about to rush into it.
Suddenly, a massive white beam of light, as thick as a water bucket, shot out from the cave entrance. The immense energy flowed endlessly, forming a thick pillar of light that illuminated the entire sky.
All the attacks from the demons and immortals melted away the moment they encountered this unprecedented pillar of light. All their energy was assimilated by the pillar of light in an instant, which in turn amplified its powerful force.
"boom……"
A loud bang rang out, and the Multi-Handed Supreme was unable to dodge in time, being slammed hard into the chest by the beam of light.
"Whoosh..."
Far away, a beam of light enveloped the massive body of the Multi-Armed Supreme and flew into the distance, disappearing in an instant.
Immediately afterward, just as the demons and immortals were at a loss, the hole lit up again, beautiful and...
The dazzling beam of light achieved its purpose almost the instant it appeared.
