Jiang Xue lightly landed on one of the giant pythons, which was entirely snow-white, as if born from the snow. Her white attire seemed to blend perfectly with it, making her appear as one with the creature. The Heavenly Serpent Staff in her hand shimmered with a vibrant green, exceptionally eye-catching. At that moment, she looked like a celestial being, radiating an unparalleled beauty and an ethereal grace that made it hard for anyone to gaze directly at her.
Many clan members who had previously voiced their doubts about this new leader were now secretly convinced by Jiang Xue's determination to protect the Serpent Demon Clan. Seeing her standing majestically atop the Eight Fiend Ancestor Python, they began to regard her as a divine protector of their people, a leader elevated above them.
"Is that the Eight Fiend Ancestor Python?" The man in black was initially taken aback but soon laughed, saying, "Since you've summoned this ultimate Fierce Beast, it seems your Serpent Demon Clan has no hope left!"
Standing atop the Ancient Python, Jiang Xue was nearly at the same height as Wang Long and the others. She glanced at Wang Long and offered a calm smile.
Wang Long returned the smile. Neither spoke, yet it felt as if they understood each other perfectly without needing words.
Then, with a wave of her Heavenly Serpent Staff, the eight Ancient Evil Beasts roared simultaneously. The sound echoed through the Valley like thunder trapped in a cage, continuous and overwhelming!
Everyone had to stop what they were doing and cover their ears just to slightly mitigate the deafening noise, fearing their eardrums would be shattered!
"Attack!"
Jiang Xue calmly uttered these two words. The eight giant pythons seemed to understand her command and simultaneously unleashed colorful Dragon Qi—some coiling tightly, some striking fiercely, some steady and heavy, while others surged with overwhelming force!
Time seemed to freeze in that instant.
Then came eight resounding booms as the entire valley where the Serpent Demon Clan was stationed shattered! Rocks flew everywhere, dust swirled chaotically, and a massive wave of energy surged forth. Those Human Soldiers who were close were instantly obliterated into dust! Even those further away were caught in the blast, stumbling and falling over!
With just this one strike, all Human Soldiers—including generals and Guard Captains—turned pale with fear!
No one could have imagined that these ancient Fierce Beasts possessed such terrifying power!
"This is bad! We can't let these Ancient Pythons rampage; otherwise, our soldiers will be completely annihilated! The hard-won victory will be turned upside down!"
The generals immediately recognized the severity of the situation. They abandoned their current opponents and rushed toward each giant python, determined to slay them single-handedly!
Seeing this scene, Wang Long felt a jolt in his heart. He realized that the Serpent Demon Clan's ability to endure for thousands of years was indeed rooted in profound strength! Each Ancient Python possessed nearly the power of experts from the Dragon Bone Realm! With all eight Ancient Pythons together, they had immense destructive capability capable of breaching cities and charging into battle!
Resolute in his thoughts, he exchanged a glance with Man Qianyi; both nodded slightly before focusing their energy on the man in black before them.
"Elder, cover me; I will personally confront this Xuantian Daozun!" Wang Long whispered. With a swift motion, he leaped several dozen feet forward and arrived right in front of the man in black.
The man in black was startled; however, years of combat experience kept him composed. With a thought, Xuantian Daozun enveloped him once more in protective energy while dark mist surged upward around him, spiraling toward Wang Long.
Wang Long activated the Thunder Element Clone, enveloping himself in a surge of electricity that completely burned away the dark energy surrounding him.
Boom!
Xuantian Daozun suddenly threw a punch, and Wang Long's Thunder Element Clone responded in kind, meeting the attack with its own fist!
In their clash, Wang Long felt a danger of his Thunder Element Clone dissipating; it was solid yet insubstantial, shattered by the force of Xuantian Daozun. Moreover, it was being pushed downwards towards his main body!
"The Thunder Element Clone is merely a manifestation of Vital Energy, not a physical entity. It cannot compare to this Xuantian Daozun, who is the true spirit of a Dao Artifact! Not only does he possess the power of countless believers, but he also has boundless magical energy and is a real living being! Using a clone made of Vital Energy to fight against a physical entity is indeed a significant disadvantage!"
Wang Long immediately retreated to avoid the blow, feeling secretly distressed.
"Hmm? A physical form..." Wang Long suddenly had an idea. He had already reached the second level of the Dragon Bone Realm, the Transformative State, and could change his own form. If he could transform into something like the Thunder Element Clone...
With this thought, he let out a loud roar, and his body began to grow larger. His bones creaked as his muscles stretched, and even the blood within him surged restlessly.
He had changed his appearance before, but he had never altered his size like this.
His entire body continued to transform until he stood two or three times taller than before! His arms were as thick as a person's waist!
At the same time, his originally ten-zhang tall Thunder Element Clone suddenly condensed and shrank down, transforming into more solidified strands of Thunder Element, which wrapped around his body like armor.
"Oh? So that's how it is... Transforming into a giant and then wearing the clone as armor? This kid does have some brains!" Man Qianyi smiled and said softly to Wang Long.
"Ridiculous! Do you think you can withstand the might of Xuantian Daozun just with your body?!" The man in black sneered and suddenly directed Xuantian Daozun to unleash another powerful punch!
Without saying a word, Wang Long unleashed the flowing Thunder Element from his arm and collided fiercely with it!
Boom!
The power of the True Dragon erupted explosively from his arm, sending shockwaves through the air. The Thunder Element shattered, pushing back the dark energy on Xuantian Daozun's arm, causing it to dissipate!
"Hmm? Not good! My cultivation level is still too low to control this Mysterious Heaven's Dark Wheel and the physical form of Xuantian Daozun! Damn it, if only Lord Yang were here..."
But Wang Long did not give him any chance. His arm extended and wrapped around both him and Xuantian Daozun, compressing them together with great force!
An immense pressure came from all sides, making the man in black feel as if he were being squeezed into the ground. His bones and muscles were being crushed inwardly, his breath completely stifled, and even his internal organs felt like they were shifting!
"Elder, lend me a hand! I have captured his true form; the next step is up to you!" Wang Long shouted urgently, knowing that the opportunity was fleeting and there was no room for delay.
Man Qianyi, without waiting for him to speak further, leaped forward. Amidst the swirling black malevolent energy and Wang Long's Thunder Element, he extended his fingers lightly and pointed towards the sky.
"Vast Ravine Ivy, entwine!"
With a soft command, an endless surge of life force erupted from his fingertips. The Wood Element and Dragon Qi rushed in from all directions as if drawn in and consumed by his fingertips!
In an instant, the green wood energy transformed into boundless ancient trees and vines. Once they appeared, they grew wildly in the void, quickly binding and enveloping the figure in black along with Xuantian Daozun!
"Well done!" Wang Long exclaimed as he lifted off the ground. His right arm suddenly shot out, gathering all the Thunder Element into it with an intensity that reached its peak.
At that moment, his right arm became the sharpest sword in the world!
"Bind him tightly; I will sever the connection between him and Xuantian Daozun!" Wang Long's right arm erupted with millions of bolts of Thunderfire, which then coalesced into a dazzlingly sharp beam of light. It descended towards the figure in black wrapped in Azure Wood Vines, aiming to cut through the black energy connecting him to Xuantian Daozun!
