"Oh right, I almost forgot about the old loach..."
He turned his gaze and saw a colossal creature coiled in the space below.
It was an indescribably enormous creature, perched motionless in the dark void, and Xiao Ning's gaze followed its body.
However, when his vision was blocked by the dark space in the distance, he still could not see its end...
This mysterious creature was entirely purple-gold in color, with cold scales covering its body, giving off a powerful and steel-like feeling.
Xiao Ning hovered in the void. With his eyesight, he could not see its entirety, which was enough to imagine how incredibly large this creature was.
"It really is the Ancient Void Dragon..."
Just then, in the dark void, a pair of enormous eyes that had been closed for a long time suddenly opened!
These eyes were a pale red, with overlapping pupils. These eyes alone were hundreds of times larger than Xiao Ning's entire body!
The moment those eyes opened, they locked onto Xiao Ning. At the same time, an extremely terrifying pressure enveloped him, making him feel as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him!
"Can tomb raiders possess ancient jade?"
The space trembled, and a sound suddenly rang out, causing the entire space to shake violently.
The enormous eyes that appeared in the darkness were now staring at Xiao Ning with cold indifference, devoid of any emotion, as cold as lifeless objects.
"The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade? It's not there!"
Xiao Ning, however, remained completely unaffected. He shrugged and shook his head.
"Aren't there any ancient jade pieces?"
A voice echoed through the space, and at that moment, Xiao Ning seemed to see a trace of disappointment and cold killing intent in that giant eye.
Xiao Ning stood with his hands behind his back, unafraid of the long serpent. He said calmly, "Poor Dragon Emperor, he was sealed here by the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe for over a thousand years because he coveted the Emperor's Pill. Not only was his soul stripped away, but his physical body was also manipulated, turning him into a tireless and painless puppet!"
"If you don't have one, then stay..."
The colossal object remained unmoved, its indifferent voice resounding once more. Then, the entire space rippled violently, and a dazzling beam of purple-gold light burst forth from the darkness, piercing through the void and hurtling fiercely toward Xiao Ning.
"Um?"
Xiao Ning's face turned cold. Just as the book described, this worm was a puppet without intelligence, impossible to communicate with. The previous attempts were like casting pearls before swine, a complete waste of effort.
Seeing Zhu Kun's attack coming, his brow lit up, and his Yin spirit left his body, appearing above his head. Looking down, his features were clear, lifelike, and solid as a real person.
The Yin God opened its mouth and spat out a terrifying shockwave of souls, sweeping out in all directions.
In the next instant, it collided violently with the purple-gold pillar of light!
"Pop!"
After a deafening roar, an energy storm exploded in space, tearing the void apart in an instant.
The soul shockwave pierced through the purple-gold pillar of light and then slammed into Zhu Kun's body.
"Sing!"
Instantly, amidst a mournful dragon roar, the enormous body writhed wildly. Under the suppression of the soul impact, its size shrank continuously until it finally transformed into a tall, middle-aged man.
"Heh..."
The man's eyes were empty and lifeless, staring blankly ahead, his mouth uttering inhuman sounds, and his struggling body released a terrifying killing intent as he twisted and turned.
"Poor fellow!"
Xiao Ning shook his head, his spiritual energy bursting forth from his body, forming a line, and scanning the entire space from top to bottom and left to right.
"Found it!"
A moment later, his eyes lit up, his gaze fixed on a certain spot, and with a flick of his wrist, a palm print of magical power condensed in the void and reached out to grab the spot in his eyes.
In the void, a semi-transparent flame suddenly appeared, grasped in the palm of the magic power. Strangely, a blurry human figure was contained within the flame.
"Boom boom boom!"
The moment the flames appeared, the entire void in the space boiled over, as if Xiao Yan's actions had angered some being.
As space rippled, an illusory, aged figure materialized in the void.
As this figure appeared, the energy in the world instantly surged, and an oppressive aura, like that of the ruler of heaven and earth, descended from the sky, pressing down on Xiao Ning's heart as if it were a tangible force.
The figure seemed to be merely a fragment of consciousness split from a soul. As soon as it appeared, it attacked Xiao Ning directly, pointing a finger and sending out a seven-colored beam of light.
"A contingency plan left behind by Emperor Tuoshegu?"
Upon seeing the figure appear, Xiao Ning clicked his tongue. He calmly raised his hand, clenched his fist, and with a flick of his elbow, unleashed a powerful punch, a giant fist of magical power meeting the attack head-on.
"boom!"
The energy clashed, creating ripples on a calm surface of water, which then spread outwards.
It appears that the two sides are evenly matched, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.
After making one move, the figure didn't hold back and launched another attack. The terrifying finger force came crashing down, but Xiao Yan calmly returned the attack.
"Boom boom boom!"
Like a series of explosions, the booming sounds continued, and in the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged dozens of blows.
