*Pfft!
* The Blue Silver Emperor vines darted and grew in the swamp, making strange noises.
The black whirlpool snake at the bottom of the swamp slowly spiraled upwards.
"Yan Yan!"
Ye Qiu stopped, shielding Dugu Yan behind him. His Eternal Kaleidoscope bloomed, surrounded by blood-red soul power that slowly solidified.
A complete ribcage protected Ye Qiu and Dugu Yan in the center.
At the same time
, the red and blue golden Blue Silver Emperor that had grown in the swamp suddenly sprouted many blue and red fruits.
"Explode!"
With a low shout from Ye Qiu,
the conflicting forces of extreme fire and extreme ice collided.
*Boom! Pfft!
* Instantly,
the swamp in front of Ye Qiu and Dugu Yan exploded violently.
Mud and filth flew everywhere.
Fortunately, Ye Qiu had activated his Martial Soul True Body beforehand, otherwise he would have been covered in mud.
Dugu Yan frowned as she watched this scene.
Just smelling the scent
made her feel physically uncomfortable, so she moved closer to Ye Qiu, inhaling
the fragrance of her lover.
"Roar!"
A roar rang out.
From the swirling mud, a hideous serpent several meters long suddenly parted the filth.
Its pair of dark eyes, like the fleshy bumps on its body, held a cruel and bloodthirsty glint as it stared intently at Ye Qiu and Dugu Yan.
"Yan Yan, be careful later."
"I know."
After instructing Dugu Yan, Ye Qiu immediately focused his attention on the black vortex serpent that was about to attack him.
Injured by the Blue Silver Ice Fire, its body was covered with a thin layer of frost, clearly frostbitten.
Visibly, its skin was peeling off, falling into the mud along with the frost.
What immediately made people uneasy was that
from the fleshy bumps and small vortexes on its body, wisps of black energy suddenly seeped out.
Like small snakes, from a distance, that part of its body looked like a hairy caterpillar.
Crucially, these caterpillars could wriggle.
In an instant, a new skin was woven onto its body.
But it wasn't over yet.
The small snakes that emerged from the fleshy bumps didn't go back; instead, they grew out, and small black snakes began to emerge from its entire body.
Its body continued to pull from the swamp.
Judging by appearance, it was at least seventeen or eighteen meters long, with a body as thick as a water vat.
It writhed across the muddy ground.
"Hiss!"
Its mouth, filled with sharp teeth, hissed rapidly; Ye Qiu could already smell the foul, fishy stench of its breath.
"Yan Yan, retreat!"
Ye Qiu deactivated his Martial Soul True Body and shouted. Dugu Yan retreated without hesitation.
At the same time
, she didn't forget to spread a cloud of poisonous mist in front of Ye Qiu.
"Third Soul Skill: Azure Phosphorous Purple Poison!"
Dugu Yan's third soul ring flashed, and a concentrated purple ray struck the black vortex serpent, hitting
the mud beneath it.
Instantly, the vegetative grass on the mud began to wither.
Whoosh!
Blue Silver Entanglement!
Ye Qiu also used his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul to restrain it.
Blue Silver Emperor vines continuously grew, controlling the black vortex serpent.
Small snakes emerging from the black vortex serpent, carrying corrosive properties, rushed towards the Blue Silver Emperor vines.
Extreme Flame!
Ye Qiu shouted inwardly, and the Blue Silver Emperor vines rapidly turned crimson.
The small black snakes seemed to evaporate, sizzling.
But facing its enormous size and terrifying power, Ye Qiu's Blue Silver Emperor vines remained in a stalemate.
After all, it was a nearly 40,000-year-old soul beast.
"Fourth Soul Skill: Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Shadow!"
A several-meter-long, emerald-green Azure Phosphorous Serpent King charged towards the Black Whirlpool Serpent.
Whoosh!
The Blue Silver Emperor serpent successfully coiled around the Black Whirlpool Serpent.
Amaterasu!
As Ye Qiu retreated, his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly widened, a few drops of blood spreading along the lower edge of his eyes.
Boom!
Black flames instantly ignited the Black Whirlpool Serpent. The flames
spread rapidly across its body, the smaller black snakes proving futile.
"Roar!"
The Black Whirlpool Serpent struggled violently.
In an instant, the Blue Silver Emperor vines broke free.
Stirred by the Black Whirlpool Serpent, half the swamp became pitted and cratered, mud flying everywhere.
"Yan Yan, leave the rest to me. You retreat a bit,"
Ye Qiu glanced back and instructed Dugu Yan.
"Husband, be careful."
Dugu Yan knew she didn't have any suitable methods against such a colossal creature.
She obediently retreated.
Kagutsuchi!
Under Ye Qiu's control, the black flames continued to spread.
"Roar!"
The Black Whirlpool Serpent roared deafeningly, instantly breaking free from the bindings of the Blue Silver Emperor Vine.
It then burrowed directly into the swamp.
A few drops of blood welled in Ye Qiu's eyes as he ignited flames all over the serpent's body.
Seeing the serpent's tail,
he unleashed another long-range Divine Might.
Space twisted, the black tail contorted and burst, oozing black blood.
While Ye Qiu might not be able to wring off the serpent's head in a short time against its massive body, he could certainly manage its slender tail!
Soon ,
half of the tail fell into the swamp.
The serpent's entire body was submerged, roaring as it
disappeared from the ground.
Small amounts of black flame clung
to the swamp. Ye Qiu's gaze pierced through the mud
, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. The serpent's regenerative abilities were truly remarkable.
Even the Amaterasu Flame had been dispelled.
Whoosh!
Sensing the disturbance beneath his feet, Ye Qiu used the Ghostly Shadow Steps technique to quickly retreat.
Simultaneously, he waved his hand, unleashing a swarm of Thousand Birds Spinners wreathed in black flames.
*Poof!*
In just a few breaths, the spot where Ye Qiu had stood was transformed into a swamp.
"Roar!"
A black vortex snake emerged from the swamp, spiraling upwards, colliding with the Thousand Birds.
Its body was scorched by lightning and coated with black flames.
Hissing, the small black snakes shed their skins.
The black vortex snake's dark, vertical pupils locked onto Ye Qiu.
Then, like a black pillar, it crashed down upon him.
Large amounts of mud flew several meters into the air before falling, seemingly raining mud upon the entire area.
Dugu Yan hurriedly ran to Hu Niu's side, pinching her nose and dodging the black rain.
"Good timing!"
Ye Qiu exclaimed in a deep voice.
Looking at the 'pillar' coiled with small black snakes,
his eyes gleamed with an eerie, blood-red light.
Martial Soul True Body, activated!
A crimson soul force swept through, instantly obliterating the skeleton, muscles, and skin.
A crimson giant with half a body appeared in the open space,
raising its hand.
Three connected crimson tomoe spun continuously.
"Yasakani no Magatama!"
Ye Qiu shouted, and with a flick of his Susanoo's giant arm, the three tomoe flew towards the Black Whirlpool Serpent's vital point!
