Under the gaze of those cold, indifferent, and emotionless eyes, Yao Xiaotian and the gray-clothed Elder felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their entire bodies trembling.
The newcomer was hostile; he wanted to kill us!
Escape!
These thoughts simultaneously popped into their minds, and then they both transformed into streaks of black light, shooting away into the distance.
"Can you escape?" Amon's lips curled into a smile.
He extended his right hand and grabbed forward.
Invisible Hand!
The essence of this move relied on Amon's spatial characteristics and his understanding of spatial abilities; the stronger his spatial characteristics and the deeper his understanding, the greater the power it could unleash.
The energy of heaven and earth moved according to his will, transforming into a massive, thousands-of-feet-large, translucent, gray-black giant hand.
The huge palm seemed slow, but it descended swiftly.
Yao Xiaotian and the Grand Elder of the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe felt as if the space around them had solidified, and it was so solid that even their Dou Saint cultivation could not break through it, leaving them to watch helplessly as the energy giant hand covered and grasped them.
"Ah..."
Two screams rang out, and the rulers of the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe, two rank nine magical beasts, fell just like that!
Amon grabbed their corpses back, extracted their souls, and then opened his mouth, swallowing both the corpses and souls.
He exploited his own characteristics to open up a storage space within his body.
Afterward, he extended his palm again, grabbing out Yao Ming, the former patriarch of the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe, who had been imprisoned deep within the Nine Serene Yellow Springs.
Yao Ming saw hope of escape from this sudden change and was about to express his gratitude and pledge allegiance when Amon shattered his brain with a single palm strike.
Amon glanced at the magical beasts, Snake-People, and a few scattered humans trembling under his spirit power pressure, then waved his right hand, and a sky-filling flame surged out.
The silver-white flame enveloped the entire Nether Serpent Earth Vein, cutting out the space they were in, forming a separate World, and then Amon left this space, swallowing the flame that enveloped it in one gulp.
Space Fire and Void Swallowing Flame have some similarities, but the former focuses more on various applications of spatial abilities, while the latter is like a black hole, violently pulling in and containing everything.
Many Snake-People Tribe and magical beast groups living around the Nether Serpent Earth Vein did not know what exactly had happened.
They only felt an inexplicable spiritual tremor, and then a terrifying energy fluctuation erupted from the direction of the Nether Serpent Earth Vein, followed by... the entire Nether Serpent Earth Vein suddenly disappearing!
When Amon packaged the Nether Serpent Earth Vein, he specifically took the Nine Serene Yellow Springs deep within the Nether Serpent Earth Vein as well, so the cut-out space extended extremely deep underground.
Where the Nether Serpent Earth Vein originally was, only a massive deep pit remained, as if it could lead to the Earth's core.
And within the Nether Serpent Earth Vein, enveloped by Space Fire, without Amon's spirit power pressure, those Dou Zuns regained their ability to move and successively used their methods, wanting to tear space to leave.
But this space remained motionless; any attempts they made were futile.
Panic began to spread, and the entire Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe fell into chaos.
Carrying the entire Nether Serpent Earth Vein, Amon arrived in the void, heading towards the Northwest of the continent.
Amon had left a Worm of Spirit on the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake near Stone Desert City back then. After the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake was controlled by Qing Lin's Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupils, that Amon avatar had been following Qing Lin.
Besides the three Dou Saint of the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe, the Nine-Headed Ancient Sky Serpent on Qing Lin in the original work was also Amon's target.
Of course, it hadn't been long since Qing Lin was taken away by the people of Heavenly Serpent Mansion at this point, and the soul of the Nine-Headed Ancient Sky Serpent had not yet possessed Qing Lin.
However, Amon remembered that Qing Lin discovered the remains of the Ancient Celestial Serpent in an ancient mountain range when she first entered the Central Continent.
Qing Lin should have also come to the Central Continent through a spatial wormhole near the Heavenly Serpent Mansion at that time, so he only needed to find the spatial wormhole she might have used, come to the corresponding location in the Central Continent, and then search for nearby ancient mountain ranges.
With Amon's Emperor Realm spirit power search capability, once the ancient mountain range was confirmed, it would not be difficult to find the remains of that Ancient Celestial Serpent.
Considering that some special places might interfere with soul perception, Amon decided to bring Qing Lin along to avoid spending too much time on this.
Upon arriving in the Heavenly Serpent Kingdom, he ripped open space through his connection with the clone, instantly appearing beside Qing Lin.
At this moment, the Mansion Master of Heavenly Serpent Mansion had just publicly announced Qing Lin as the Holy Maiden.
The Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupils held extremely important significance for Heavenly Serpent Mansion, and the high-ranking officials of Heavenly Serpent Mansion all had uncontrollable smiles on their faces. They seemed to see the day when Heavenly Serpent Mansion would rise in the near future.
Their smiles did not last long before they froze. A strange person wearing a pointed soft hat suddenly appeared beside Qing Lin and then suddenly disappeared. What also disappeared was their Heavenly Serpent Mansion's Holy Maiden.
Two seconds after Amon left with Qing Lin, the Mansion Master of Heavenly Serpent Mansion finally reacted, his face terribly gloomy.
At the conferment ceremony, there were not only people from Heavenly Serpent Mansion but also many invited guests!
Their Heavenly Serpent Mansion's Holy Maiden was abducted in broad daylight!
A noisy discussion broke out at the scene.
The Mansion Master of Heavenly Serpent Mansion's expression changed again and again. He used sound transmission to inform the Elders who wanted to order a blockade of Heavenly Serpent City for a search, telling them not to act rashly for now and to pretend that nothing had happened.
After being stunned for a while, the guests found that Heavenly Serpent Mansion made no moves, thinking this was a pre-arranged procedure, and Amon was also regarded as a hidden Old freak within Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
They all sighed, marveling that it was indeed the largest force in the Heavenly Serpent Kingdom, still possessing such terrifying figures... Judging from the elusive methods just now, this was at least a high-level Dou Ancestor, or even a Dou Venerate powerhouse was not impossible!
...
Qing Lin's small face showed fear. She had been abducted by the people of Heavenly Serpent Mansion from the Mo Tie Mercenary Group before, and it was hard for her to adapt to the new environment, initially believing that the people around her had no ill intentions and settling down. As a result, she had only had a few days of peace before being abducted again!
Held in Amon's hand, Qing Lin quietly did not struggle or speak, her emerald green eyes surveying her surroundings.
Amon was currently taking her through the void. All she could see were intensely colored blocks, distributed around in a distorted, chaotic, and utterly unaesthetic manner.
In just a few minutes, Amon brought her back to the Central Continent.
They emerged from the void at a small city in the Northwest of the Central Continent called "Jiuduan City."
Amon put Qing Lin down. The latter looked timidly at the young man with a constant smile on his face and asked, "Why did you capture me?"
"Do I look like I have bad intentions?" Amon showed a kind smile.
Qing Lin nodded: "Yes."
Amon's smile slightly receded: "Congratulations, you answered correctly..."
He spread out his spirit power. This time, he was not as ostentatious as he was in the underground World. When investigating, his spirit power was very restrained, thus greatly shortening the exploration distance.
Not far from Jiuduan City was Jiutiao Mountain, a mountain range that had existed for a very long time.
Amon's spirit power encountered many obstacles when examining this mountain range. In several places, the spirit power feedback was rather vague, as if being obstructed by something, forming a series of black boxes.
No need to think much, these places definitely contained something strange.
Amon took Qing Lin and investigated these places one by one. After entering the "black boxes," the situation inside became clear, either ruins left by predecessors or special areas formed naturally.
As they prepared to explore the fourth "black box," the petal-shaped patterns in Qing Lin's pupils involuntarily began to rotate, and she vaguely heard a mysterious call.
"It seems we've found it." Amon adjusted his monocle, a smile curling at the corner of his lips.
Following the call, they arrived at a mountain peak. The peak was not very high, but what was peculiar was that one side of the mountain had dense ridges, three of which were very clear, and six others were less distinct.
This was the skeleton of that mutated Nine-Headed Ancient Sky Serpent!
This was not within the previously discovered information black box areas! Instead, it was a place he had thought had no abnormalities and had overlooked. Without Qing Lin's guidance, he might have missed it.
Amon's spirit power swept over, and even when he concentrated like this, he only vaguely detected a subtle inconsistency. A special, faint, but very solid power was moving back and forth among the ridges.
This energy was dispersed among all the ridges and had not aggregated into a single mass.
Qing Lin was not yet able to control her eyes freely; her eyes spontaneously responded to the call of the mysterious power.
The energy dispersed among the ridges converged, and a snake-like soul body exuding a ferocious, bloodthirsty, and terrifying aura appeared from the mountain peak. The huge phantom flashed and transformed into a stream of light, shooting towards Qing Lin.
Amon reached out and intercepted it.
The soul of the mutated Ancient Celestial Serpent struggled in Amon's hand, but it was useless.
Even if it were still alive, it would have little power to resist in front of a Nine-Star Dou Saint, let alone a mere incomplete soul.
After collecting the soul of the Ancient Celestial Serpent, Amon smiled and took out an eighth-rank Nine Nether Earth Python, which had been Parasite by a Worm of Spirit, from the Nether Serpent Earth Vein that he had sealed and swallowed into his body.
"Use your eyes to control it. I've done some processing to it; now it can't resist your eyes... This is your reward."
Qing Lin Using the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils ignorantly,Established a connection with this Nine Netherworld Python.
In reality, she didn't control this eighth-rank magical beast at all; it was Amon, who had Parasite it, pretending to be controlled.
After getting what he wanted, Amon sent Qing Lin back.
Watching Qing Lin suddenly return, the expressions of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion members were exceptionally colorful.
The Mansion Master of Heavenly Serpent Mansion couldn't help but ask, "Who was that mysterious person? What did he do to you?"
"I don't know him. He didn't do anything to me, just used my eyes to help him find something," Qing Lin replied without hiding anything.
"What thing?"
Qing Lin recalled for a moment, organizing her words before responding:
"He took me to a mountain range. The mountain seemed to be formed from the corpse of a very large snake. The corpse and my eyes had some inexplicable connection. I summoned the soul within it, and his target was that soul... That soul gave me a very ancient and ferocious feeling."
A corpse as big as a mountain? An ancient and ferocious soul? An inexplicable connection with the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupils?
Lü Man seemed to have thought of something and took out a painting from her space ring.
"Do you see if it's this kind of snake?"
The magical beast in the painting was indeed the Ancient Celestial Serpent.
Qing Lin nodded: "It's very similar, but the one I encountered had nine heads!"
"Hmm? Nine heads?" The Mansion Master of Heavenly Serpent Mansion and the Elders all showed confused expressions.
