The great serpent king nodded hastily, knelt down, and pleaded, "Please, master, do justice for this humble serpent!"
Xiao Wenbing turned to the precious god and asked, "Master, why did you bully the little snake like this?"
The Great Serpent Supreme was secretly delighted to see Xiao Wenbing stand up for it, eager to see its precious god in an embarrassing situation. Suddenly, upon hearing the word "Master," it froze completely.
"It, it, it is your master?"
"Yes, this is the precious god, my master," Xiao Wenbing said with a grin. "Let me tell you, he's a genuine deity."
The Great Serpent Supreme felt dizzy and disoriented. It clearly saw that this precious deity had transformed from a ring that Xiao Wenbing had dropped, so it assumed it was a monster that Xiao Wenbing had kept. Who would have thought that this monster would transform into Xiao Wenbing's master? And even more incredibly, it was actually a deity.
Baby God, who was half-lying down enjoying the massage from the Great Serpent Supreme, suddenly stood up and, in a flash, was already beside Xiao Wenbing.
With a whoosh, the Great Serpent Supreme collapsed to the ground, utterly powerless against a deity.
I closed my eyes, thinking this was certain death. But to my surprise, I heard my precious god's voice filled with astonishment: "I didn't bully it."
"If you didn't bully it, then what were you doing just now?"
"As soon as I arrived in this realm, it came up and massaged my back. It was so comfortable that I enjoyed it for a little while longer," the baby god recounted his feelings.
"A back massage?"
"Exactly, if it hadn't taken the initiative, I wouldn't have asked for it." Baby God's voice grew increasingly innocent.
Xiao Wenbing turned his head and saw that the Great Serpent Supreme was staring blankly. He immediately understood, laughed a few times, and patted the Great Serpent's avatar's shoulder heavily, saying, "Great Serpent, do you still want to acknowledge a master now?"
The giant serpent shuddered, realizing that the precious god had no intention of taking its life, and its soul seemed to return from nothingness to its physical form.
"The little snake admires its master and naturally wants to acknowledge him as its master."
"Good." Xiao Wenbing nodded in satisfaction, pulled up the woman in white from behind him, and said, "I've found you a master. You should acknowledge her as your master."
The Great Serpent Supreme was taken aback, only then realizing that Xiao Wenbing did not actually intend to personally take it as a servant.
Seeing the stunningly beautiful Feng Baiyi, whose face was identical to that of the Butterfly Fairy, the Great Serpent's expression turned extremely ugly. After all, he was a powerful ruler, and his recognition of Xiao Wenbing as his master was, of course, out of necessity. But the other party was, after all, a divine messenger.
But Feng Baiyi is just an ordinary immortal. If he were to acknowledge such a person as his master, his reputation would truly be ruined.
Feng Baiyi had remained silent ever since she descended into the pit, but suddenly said, "Wenbing, my power has not disappeared."
"What? You can also use your strength?"
“Yes.” Feng Baiyi glanced indifferently at the astonished and uncertain Great Serpent Supreme, and extended a slender jade hand.
A faint spark of electricity suddenly appeared and danced on that fair, jade-like hand, like a beautiful white sprite tumbling and fluttering. Gradually, the electricity intensified, illuminating the entire pit as if it were daytime.
"The power of lightning! This is the power of lightning!" the Great Serpent Supreme suddenly roared.
Unlike when he desperately entangled with Xiao Wenbing, the moment he saw the lightning sparks leaping in his palm, the Great Serpent Supreme immediately fled far away like a startled rabbit.
Although the pit was not small, there was not much room to hide. The Great Serpent Supreme could only cower in a corner, looking at the group with a mixture of fear and apprehension.
Who are these people? It's one thing to have gods and divine messengers, but there are even guys who wield the power of lightning. Orochi felt like he was having a nightmare, and what's worse, it seemed like there was no chance of waking up from this dream.
"That's right, you do have some discernment." Xiao Wenbing glanced disdainfully at the coward, feeling a surge of satisfaction as he recalled how the coward had harassed him at the beginning. He chuckled, "This one is also a divine messenger, but she possesses the power of destruction. Bringing her here isn't a bad deal for you."
The great serpent's face immediately turned extremely bitter. This kind of landowner was not easy to recognize. If she was in a bad mood, she could throw a bolt of lightning at him, and he would be badly injured, if not killed.
"What, are you unhappy?" Xiao Wenbing said sternly, "If you don't want to acknowledge a master, that's fine too. Then stay here forever."
The Great Serpent Supreme was startled and quickly calculated in his mind. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "This humble serpent dares not."
Having said that, he stepped forward tremblingly and bowed to Feng Baiyi, saying, "Please, Master, perform the spell."
Feng Baiyi extended a finger; at its slender, delicate tip, there was no blood, but rather a point of deep purple lightning.
The lightning flashed and disappeared over the head of the Great Serpent Supreme. The next moment, the Great Serpent's body trembled, as if it were enduring some severe torture, and large beads of sweat rolled down from its head.
A moment later, the giant snake roared and collapsed to the ground, a tiny lightning bolt symbol appearing above its head.
After catching his breath, the Great Serpent Supreme leaped to his feet. Despite the agony of being struck by lightning, there was no resentment on his face. Instead, he was beaming with joy. He knelt before Feng Baiyi, kowtowed several times, and respectfully said, "Thank you for your grace, Master. I will never forget it."
Xiao Wenbing was filled with admiration. Although her magic was different from his own inherited from the divine realm, Feng Baiyi's skills were by no means inferior to his own.
This lightning mark struck the Great Serpent Supreme's head, not only giving him an indelible experience, but more importantly, from then on, the Great Serpent Supreme also gained a portion of the power to manipulate lightning, an ability bestowed upon him by Feng Baiyi.
To bestow one's own power upon one's servants is an ability possessed only by gods, but Feng Baiyi, who has comprehended the power of the origin of lightning, is another exception.
For the Great Serpent Supreme, who was about to undergo tribulation, mastering a certain amount of lightning power would be of immense benefit. At the very least, his chances of passing the tribulation would increase a hundredfold. Naturally, the Great Serpent would be extremely grateful to Feng Baiyi for such a good thing.
Volume 19, Chapter 20: Clash of Supreme Beings
------------------------
Ten miles outside Huangzhou City, countless snakes, insects, and ferocious beasts gathered together. They all kept their heads down, whether they were creatures that had cultivated to a certain level of intelligence or beasts that acted solely on instinct, they all stayed quietly in place, not daring to make a sound.
Indeed, Huangzhou City, which was initially full of confidence and thought it would be easily captured, has become impregnable after a round of attacks. It seems unlikely that they can even break through the city, let alone enter it.
In the past, Orochi and Multi-Armed Sovereign would have already ordered a retreat, but this time, for some reason, Multi-Armed Sovereign just gazed ahead, hesitant and unwilling to give the order to retreat.
However, even those few demon immortals at the celestial level dared not voice any objections under the supreme being's long-standing tyranny, let alone other creatures.
However, each of the demon immortals who had already cultivated themselves into powerful beings had their own plans.
If the Multi-Handed Sovereign orders everyone to advance again, they should be wary. If they discover any opening in the Rainbow Shield, they must retreat desperately. They don't want to suffer the same fate as that unfortunate fellow and perish without a burial place.
Looking at Huangzhou City, which was several miles away, the Multi-Handed Supreme was filled with mixed emotions.
Because of the rainbow shield, it didn't realize that the Forbidden God Tower it had been dreaming of had left its original location, nor did it know that even if it conquered Huangzhou City, it would be impossible to obtain the Two-Broken Blade.
So, at this moment, it's just unsure what to do.
The Great Serpent Supreme had finally fallen into the Immortal Imprisonment Cave, thinking it could easily obtain the peerless treasure it had coveted for millions of years. However, one unexpected event after another left it with no confidence. Yet, giving up like this was truly something it was unwilling to do.
Suddenly, a commotion arose from behind. Although it was quite far away, it was still faintly perceptible to someone of its caliber.
With a wave of his hand, one of its trusted lieutenants, the tiger-headed, human-bodied immortal, immediately understood and flew swiftly towards the direction of the commotion.
While suspended in mid-air, Tiger-Headed Immortal was furious. Who were these fearless bastards who dared to displease the Supreme Being? He would definitely tear them to pieces later, otherwise, if the Supreme Being was in a bad mood and punished them, he would be the one to suffer.
In a flash, he arrived at the rear of the beast formation. Before he even arrived, he roared, "Shut the hell up!"
He arrived at the scene with an imposing air. Tiger Head Immortal's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and he was about to unleash his great power as an immortal to kill a few guys and establish his authority. However, when his gaze swept over the face of the person in front of him, he felt a chill in his heart, and all his domineering aura vanished.
If it wasn't mistaken, the person in front of it was none other than the Great Serpent Supreme who had fallen into the Immortal Imprisonment Cave.
"Who do you want to shut up?" the Great Serpent Supreme said in a sinister tone.
Tiger-Headed Immortal shuddered and was about to kneel down when he suddenly caught sight of someone out of the corner of his eye. He was startled and recognized the man as the cunning human who had just disguised himself as the Great Serpent Supreme and tricked them.
For some inexplicable reason, as if he had suddenly gained a lot of courage, his body, which had shrunk a bit, straightened up again.
"How dare you! You've tried to trick us again." Tiger-Headed Immortal grinned maliciously. "This time, I'll skin you alive, tear you apart, and slice you into a thousand pieces."
Xiao Wenbing's expression immediately turned strange. He knew this was a lingering effect of impersonating the Great Serpent Supreme, and couldn't help but find it amusing.
Unlike Xiao Wenbing, the Great Serpent Supreme was stunned. How dare the Tiger-Headed Immortal speak to him like that? At this moment, the Great Serpent Supreme even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.
Seeing the expression on the Great Serpent Supreme's face, Tiger-Headed Immortal became even more arrogant and swaggering. The last bit of doubt in his heart completely vanished.
Extending its massive, thick paw, Tiger-Headed Immortal let out a chilling roar, and surging energy transformed into a gigantic tiger claw in the air, lunging towards the Great Serpent Supreme.
If what came before was doubt, then at this moment the Great Serpent Supreme was utterly enraged.
For millions of years, that creature that had been so timid and fearful before it, making it dare to swoop eastward but not westward, had dared to extend its claws towards it. This was truly intolerable.
It opened its blood-red maw, and a chilling mist spewed out.
The tiger's powerful claws, upon touching the seemingly weak and powerless mist in mid-air, suddenly seemed to lose their momentum, abruptly stopping in mid-air. Then, with a harsh and grating "squeak," they completely dissipated into the void.
Upon hearing this puff of mist, Tiger-Headed Immortal immediately sensed danger. His earlier courage vanished instantly, and he cried out in alarm, "Your Majesty, spare my life!"
However, the Great Serpent Supreme, whose dignity had been offended, was not about to let such a fellow off the hook. He mercilessly wrapped a puff of mist around Tiger Head Immortal.
In the blink of an eye, Tiger-Headed Immortal's towering body had completely shrunk, and the thick fog seemed to carry a strong corrosive energy. A moment later, a powerful earth immortal had completely disappeared from this world.
All the snakes, insects, and beasts watching trembled. No one dared to doubt the authenticity of the Great Serpent Supreme anymore. Several lesser celestial beasts and demons pressed their heads deeply to the ground, desperately praying in their hearts that the Supreme's wrath would not be vented on them.
Xiao Wenbing watched in horror, never expecting that this person, who seemed like a clown in the Immortal Imprisonment Cave, actually possessed such formidable strength.
Immortal! A powerful mortal immortal was utterly destroyed in just a few breaths. Possessing such inhuman abilities, no wonder all the immortals in Huangzhou City were so wary of these two.
I glanced at the spot where Tiger Head Immortal had disappeared, and silently mourned for the unfortunate fellow for a few seconds. If it weren't for me, it certainly wouldn't have been so bold.
Perhaps it was Tiger-Headed Immortal's behavior that provoked the Great Serpent Sovereign's anger, as a powerful aura continuously emanated from its body. Gradually, all the surrounding snakes, insects, and beasts prostrated themselves on the ground, clearly knowing that their master had returned.
"Aww..."
A tremendous roar came from afar, and the figure of the Multi-Handed Supreme appeared in mid-air.
The Great Serpent Supreme raised its head, and its body slowly floated up. These two old rivals, who had been together for countless years, finally faced each other once again.
Sensing the aura emanating from the other party, the Multi-Handed Supreme's expression shifted from surprise to solemnity. It said heavily, "You've changed."
The Great Serpent Supreme extended a hand, and a faint spark of electricity suddenly appeared in its palm. The electricity then intensified, gradually enveloping its entire body.
From a distance, it looked like a small, dangerous thunderstorm.
The snakes, insects, and beasts on the ground panicked and instinctively retreated in unison. In an instant, beasts fled and insects scattered, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.
The Multihanded Supreme didn't care about the deaths of its subordinates; its only concern was its old rival standing before it.
Seeing the lightning constantly erupting from its body, the Multi-Handed Supreme still asked, "How do you control the power of lightning?"
"Want to know? Then give it a try."
The Great Serpent Supreme sneered, unleashing a chilling aura mixed with the power of lightning and thunder as it fiercely attacked its opponent.
The multi-armed supreme being's face was ashen. Its eight large hands suddenly danced up and down, and countless blue light orbs formed protective circles around it. The next moment, the scattered blue light orbs surged towards the great serpent supreme being.
The fog clashed with the starlight, creating a deafening roar in the void.
Powerful shockwaves spread outwards in layers. Snakes, insects, and beasts that couldn't escape were thrown high into the air. Before their bodies even hit the ground, they were completely crushed into flesh by the incredible pressure. As a result, a rain of blood sprayed out over an area of several dozen feet.
This was only the result of the two supreme beings' best efforts to control it. If they had truly disregarded everything and gone all out, the damage would have increased a thousandfold. The entire Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons would probably have been destroyed.
Standing below, Xiao Wenbing and the others could naturally feel the power within, but they were not alarmed.
A peaceful and faint energy surged from the precious divine body. Although it was far inferior to the two supreme beings in terms of aura, it completely surrounded them. Even if the power of the two supreme beings clashed fiercely, they would not be able to harm them in the slightest.
