Chapter 95: Calamity Serpent

“Wandaoyi, do you dare to fight me one-on-one, to decide the winner once and for all.”

Li Changye, with the Heavenly Fire Sword on his back and a gaze as sharp as a blade, looked towards Wandaoyi, who was leading the Reincarnation Hall team.

“Li Changye, I know you’re deliberately stalling for time. But no matter what, you will die here today,” Wandaoyi said, facing Li Changye with his arms crossed over his chest, his tone brimming with powerful confidence.

“Both of us are at the ninth layer of Dao Palace Realm, and we have competed for hundreds of years, yet you have never been my match. Although your four Demon Sects outnumber us, eradicating us will come at a heavy cost,” Li Changye retorted.

“Is that so?”

Wandaoyi turned his gaze to the chief disciple of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.

This was a man in black clothes with a black veil covering his face, a chilling aura enveloped him, and he held a short xiao (Chinese flute) in his hand.

The eerie sound of the xiao began to play, rustling the leaves above the ancient tree, as a nauseating, fishy breeze swept through.

“Not good, take the Detoxification Pill.”

Lu Changsheng reminded everyone.

The group quickly took out the Detoxification Pills and swallowed them, which brought them some relief.

“What is that?”

Chen Yao looked up at the canopy that obscured the sky and saw a pair of huge snake eyes glowing with a ghostly green light greedily observing the tiny humans below, their slit-shaped pupils terrifying.

Chen Yao’s scalp tingled.

This ancient beast was even more terrifying than the Flood Dragons they had seen before.

“Could it be, this is the legendary Calamity Serpent?” Murong Shi exclaimed, recognizing this ancient demonic creature, “The ancient texts record that when this python appears, a disaster descends; an adult Calamity Serpent is of the Void Refinement Realm.”

The chief disciple from the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, clad in black and veiled, spoke sinisterly, “You’re quite knowledgeable. This is the demonic creature that we barely managed to control in these Immortal Ruins. With the cultivation of the Void Refinement Realm, its original mission was to guard this Ancient Tree. Here in the Immortal Ruins, it is an invincible entity.”

“Hiss…”

The Calamity Serpent coiled on a tree branch, with its forked red tongue flickering out, the sound causing goosebumps on everyone’s skin.

A dreadful pressure emanated from it; the Calamity Serpent was hidden among the leaves, but Lu Changsheng could feel the enormity of this creature, whose body extended for at least a hundred zhang (a unit of length).

Lu Changsheng swallowed hard and rapidly calculated in his mind how to deal with this beast.

The strongest life-saving method Lu Changsheng had was the Immortal Artifact Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron within him. Even with his Dao Palace Realm eighth layer cultivation, he had no confidence he could kill the Calamity Serpent of the Void Refinement Realm.

Unless his cultivation rose to the ninth layer of the Dao Palace Realm.

Besides that, Lu Changsheng’s offensive methods included the seventh-grade Zhurong God Talisman, the eighth-grade Divine Thunder Exorcism Charm, and the eighth-grade elixir “Red Emperor Dragon Strength Pill.”

Unless absolutely necessary, Lu Changsheng would not take the “Red Emperor Dragon Strength Pill,” which could temporarily enhance his cultivation.

The power of the Red Emperor Dragon Strength Pill was too intense for the body of someone at the Dao Palace Realm to handle, making it likely to explode into death.

“Li Changye, are you convinced now?”

Wandaoyi looked mockingly at Li Changye, Lu Changsheng, and their companions.

“The Hidden Dragon Temple, Immeasurable Temple, Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, and Refinement Sect will arrive in succession. I will cover the rear; the rest of you retreat to the agreed-upon location.”

Li Changye sent a telepathic message to everyone.

Zhao Wuyan was startled, “But big brother, how can you alone withstand the Calamity Serpent and the four Demon Sects?”

Song Wuchuan spoke softly, “Trust big brother.”

“Li Changye, can you do it?”

Ye Wen of the Martial Alliance looked in astonishment at Li Changye, who was planning to cover the rear alone.

“I have my ways to escape. For the Mount Shu squad, Elder Murong, Brother Song, and Lu will take the lead.”

“Alright.”

Seeing that Li Changye was confident, and knowing that he must possess some life-saving methods they were unaware of, the others did not hesitate any longer.

“Escape!”

The people from Mount Shu and the Martial Alliance flew away on their swords, heading in the direction away from the Ancient Tree and the Calamity Serpent.

The four Elders from the Demon Sects were about to give chase but were blocked by Li Changye.

“Li Changye, you wish to play the savior, but the question is, can you stop all of us? Today, the peerless genius of Mount Shu will perish here.”

Wandaoyi didn’t believe Li Changye could hold them off. At best, he would sacrifice himself just to buy a little time for the escape of Mount Shu and Martial Alliance’s members.

“Li Changye, you’ve killed many Elders and disciples of our Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. Today, a blood debt will be paid in blood.”

“Our Joyous Union Sect has also lost Elders at the hand of your sword.”

“It feels great to nip the peerless genius of Mount Shu in the bud. Hahaha.”

The Elders from the four major Demon Sects were all making mocking remarks, wanting to see Li Changye’s look of despair.

However, Li Changye was calm and collected, “Do you know why I’ve been in the ninth level of the Dao Palace realm for many years without stepping into the Void Refinement Realm?”

“You…”

The Demon Sect Elders present had been cunning veterans in the martial world for many years, and they quickly grasped the meaning behind Li Changye’s words.

“Today, I, Li Changye, have decided to transcend the Tribulation right here!”

With a fierce shout from Li Changye, dark clouds gathered above the Ancient Tree, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Even the world force of the Immortal Ruins could not block the descending Heavenly Tribulation lightning!

“You bastard!”

Faces twisted, Wandaoyi, Liu Yun’er, and the other Demon Sect Elders couldn’t believe Li Changye was actually transcending the Tribulation right there!

All the Demon Sect Elders present were at the Dao Palace realm, and the Heavenly Tribulation triggered by Li Changye’s breakthrough from the Dao Palace realm to the Void Refinement Realm with his Eternal Wilderness Body – even the residual waves were something they could hardly withstand.

Wandaoyi hurriedly shouted, “Quick, leave this place!”

Boom boom boom!!!

The Heavenly Tribulation descended, and countless thunderstorms rained down!

Li Changye brought out his Heavenly Fire Sword, withstanding the Heavenly Tribulation!

The lightning from the Nine Heavens enlarged in his pupils, drawing ever closer.

Li Changye murmured to himself, “Is this Heavenly Tribulation? From the Dao Palace realm to the Void Refinement Realm, there are only three layers of Heavenly Tribulation. I can definitely transcend them.”

Not far away, Lu Changsheng, Murong Shi, and others looked back, only to see that the Ancient Tree had already been submerged by the lightning illuminating heaven and earth.

Song Wuchuan said, “Our senior brother’s cultivation was already sufficient to step into the Void Refinement Realm a long time ago. However, he chose to accumulate in depth, always suppressing his cultivation, and that’s why he remained in the Dao Palace realm for so many years. Our senior brother isn’t just using his own cultivation to buy time, but he is using the Heavenly Tribulation to hold back the four major Demon Sects and the Calamity Serpent.”

Using the Heavenly Tribulation as well?

Lu Changsheng was secretly shocked. No wonder he always felt that his senior brother was not so simple—it turned out his senior brother was deliberately suppressing his cultivation.

Sure enough, every peerless genius of the major sects was a meticulous thinker, not one was mediocre.

“Our senior brother has bought us time, let’s not hesitate. We’ll gather with the other sects, and with the six great sects joining forces, we may not fail to defeat the Calamity Serpent.”

Song Wuchuan knew his senior brother best, realizing that hesitation would only lead to disaster.

The terrifying Heavenly Tribulation lasted for a whole hour. Three waves of lightning fell and razed the area to the ground, though the Ancient Tree itself was left unscathed.

“Damn it, I’ve been outwitted by Li Changye again.”

Wandaoyi was disheveled. The target of the Heavenly Tribulation wasn’t him, so he survived, but it was not easy, and it delayed his pursuit of Mount Shu and the Martial Alliance.

The place of Tribulation was in ruins, and Li Changye had vanished.

“Go, chase them down! We can’t let the six great sects come together!”
