Chapter 719: The Earth Snake Ancestor's Ruthless Move

Outside the Qihuang Bao Ku.

In a corner of the Great Qi Dynasty's capital, two figures appeared; the Earth Snake Ancestor landed and spurted blood violently.

A few mouthfuls of fresh blood gushed out, his body collapsed in part, and the Earth Snake Ancestor gritted his teeth and cut off a portion of his body, which finally eased his breathing; he hurriedly swallowed two pills and relaxed a little.

Turning around, Qi Jian stood on the ground, also feeling very uncomfortable.

"Cough cough cough."

"Fortunately we ran fast; otherwise we would truly have been killed. That person is too terrifying."

Qi Jian couldn't help but sigh: the two of them ran fast; a step slower and they would be mercilessly killed.

The Earth Snake Ancestor's face turned sour and said, "Chen Chuyang is very strong. I've always told you this; you didn't believe it, now you believe, right?"

Qi Jian remained silent. Earlier he thought the Earth Snake Ancestor was fooling him, and his inner pride told him that no matter how great Chen Chuyang was, a prodigy of a small world still has limits.

It's only the True Person Realm; even at the pinnacle of the True Person, Qi Jian might not necessarily be afraid.

After the duel, he realized he was terribly wrong; that person, with a single move, almost killed him. Qi Jian's pride and confidence were shattered in an instant—no need for three punches, okay?

Three punches shatter a prodigy's soul.

"How exactly does he cultivate? This world's spiritual energy is limited; one cannot break through the True Realm. Advancement to the True Person Realm is already a thousand difficulties; even the greatest prodigy only reaches three or four layers of the True Person Realm. That kid's strength..."

Deep beyond measure.

Qi Jian's mind held only four words: deep beyond measure, impenetrable, completely impenetrable. Even if Chen Chuyang acted, he could not discern his cultivation or strength—how laughable, how terrifying.

"Cough cough cough, that kid is a monster. Let the Ancestor tell you, I consider myself to have seen countless prodigies, none have reached his level. Qi Jian, do you know the kid's age?"

Qi Jian shook his head, holding a rough guess in his mind.

"Forty years old?"

The Earth Snake Ancestor shook his head: "That kid is only twenty."

"What!"

Qi Jian stared at the Earth Snake Ancestor in shock, thinking he was joking.

"You must be kidding, right? Earth Snake Ancestor, this matter can't be a joke. At twenty, even counting fully, how many years has he cultivated? Even if he started from the womb, still... he's a monster, okay?"

Such a realm, such cultivation, such strength—at least over a hundred.

But he is only twenty; even the strongest prodigy of the Qi Family where he belongs is inferior to Chen Chuyang.

The small world cannot compare with the world where the Qi Family resides; the concentration of spiritual energy, the heavenly rules, or any other aspect all far exceed this world. If an equally talented prodigy were placed in this world, the Qi Family's talents—no, the sects' talents—would all pale.

"Why did I deceive you? It's a fact: that kid suddenly appears, and each time his strength differs."

"Last time, when he came to the capital, he wasn't this powerful."

"That kid truly is a monster, and precisely because of that monster, I, the Ancestor, dare not act rashly."

"I originally intended to devour Qi Songbai's soul to fulfill the Ancestor's plan, but now it seems I've failed."

The Earth Snake Ancestor sighed, "Qi Songbai is dead."

Qi Jian fell silent.

His heart had long anticipated it, so he wasn't that shocked.

"Then what do you plan to do? Qi Songbai is dead; if that person emerges, he'll certainly come after us."

"By then, neither you nor I will have any good days ahead."

Qi Jian could leave this world, but if the mission is unfinished, returning will surely bring punishment.

Better than being killed, at least.

If absolutely necessary, Qi Jian will not depart.

"Hm."

The Earth Snake Ancestor let out a cold snort, his eyes vicious.

"Then make sure they can't get out. Qi Jian, later I'll need your help to collapse the Qihuang Bao Ku using my own body, the Ancestor."

"Since they killed Qi Songbai, we cannot let them emerge alive."

Qi Jian frowned, "Do we really have to do that?"

"We can't delay; we must act quickly."

The Earth Snake Ancestor gritted his teeth, thrust his right hand straight into his chest, manipulating his heart.

He opened his mouth and spewed massive gulps of fresh blood; the blood fell to the ground, creating low hollows everywhere.

Immediately, the blood rushed toward the entrance of the Qihuang Bao Ku, spreading sequentially and forming a Formation.

The Earth Snake Ancestor's body began to collapse piece by piece; he gritted his teeth and said, "Qi Jian, act."

Qi Jian no longer remained silent; he twisted his hands to execute the same seal technique as the Earth Snake Ancestor.

Both acted simultaneously, and finally the two let out a fierce shout.

"Earth Snake Sealing Grand Formation."

"Earth Snake Abyss."

"Buzz."

The Earth Snake Ancestor collapsed, turning into countless poisonous snakes that entered the Formation.

The Formation sealed, and countless blood and poisonous snakes entered the Qihuang Bao Ku—no, more precisely, these snakes devoured the space of the Qihuang Bao Ku, collapsing that area of space.

Qi Jian's complexion turned pale; he seemed as if emptied.

"The grand formation is complete; I should leave now."

He turned and left.

……

After they left, the Black Dragon Guard appeared swiftly, a step behind.

Looking at the grand formation on the ground, countless evil auras emanated.

Black Dragon Guard immediately reported.

Soon after, Qi Ruohua arrived, looking at the Formation before him and that familiar aura.

"Finally couldn't hold back and had to act?"

"As expected, this time Qihuang Bao Ku, you also entered."

"Looks like you got skinny from eating."

Qi Ruohua looked toward the depths of Wangdu, coldly saying: "Since you've shown your head, you can't hide."

"I, have found you."

She waited for Chen Chuyang to come out, and then.

……

Inside Qihuang Bao Ku.

Heishanyang sighed: "A fine body, just melted like this, it'd be great for me to eat—what a waste."

Chen Chuyang heard that, rolled an eye, said irritably: "What waste? His body is poisonous; aren't you afraid you can't digest it if you eat it?"

Heishanyang retorted: "Afraid of what? My appetite is huge; a mere Qi Songbai, a mere zombie, I can digest them anytime, anywhere."

"Since that's the case, after we return, help me test the elixir a few times; I happen to have a new insight."

Heishanyang immediately shook his head: "Forget it, I don't want to be poisoned to death by you."

Other people's elixirs cost money; yours cost life.

When the words finished, the surrounding space began to collapse and warp.

Poisonous snakes appeared, devouring the space.

Countless poisonous snakes devoured, and the space collapsed rapidly.

"Kid, those people have acted; they want to collapse this space."

"We must hurry to leave Qihuang Bao Ku."

Heishanyang anxiously urged; once Qihuang Bao Ku collapses, none of these people, except Chen Chuyang, can survive.

Li Shenghong also grew anxious, reached out to stop the poisonous snakes, but to no avail.

There were too many poisonous snakes; they couldn't be all killed.

Chen Chuyang glanced around, withdrew the Hunyuan Bell.

"The Earth Snake Ancestor is indeed formidable."

"But to think you could bury us here, naive."
