Chapter 166: The Dou Saint's Ruins
Although the Beast Region is not as vast as Central Plains, it is still quite expansive. The endless mountains give off a wild and untamed feeling. The Beast Region, often referred to as the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, is home to countless magical beast families, making it a true haven for magical beasts.
One day, Xiao Tian, Xiao Yao, Zi Yan, Little Doctor Fairy, and Qing Lin traveled to the Beast Region. They ventured deep into the region until they arrived at the Beast Bone Mountain Range, which is the territory of the Nine Nether Earth Python tribe.
The Beast Bone Mountain Range is well-known in the Beast Region, not only because of the intimidating sea of bones that it harbors but also due to the strange phenomena that occur when the beast bones gather together. Training here greatly benefits magical beasts but has no effect on humans.
After several days of swift travel over the endless mountain range, they finally saw a stark white color in the distance. This stark white color stood out sharply against the lush green mountains.
"That's the Beast Bone Mountain Range. Let's head over there!" Xiao Tian said, leading the group at an even faster pace.
Their bold flight through the Beast Region was possible because of the oppressive aura emanating from Xiao Yao. This aura, inherent to the Celestial Demon Marten, greatly suppressed ordinary magical beasts.
Upon reaching the Beast Bone Mountain Range, they sensed many powerful presences, most of them being Dou Zong-level, with a few Dou Zun-level beasts.
"Whoosh!"
Several figures swiftly approached, blocking Xiao Tian and his group. These figures, though humanoid, exuded a cold aura and had unique vertical pupils, indicating they were magical beasts.
The leader's sharp gaze scanned the group, finally settling on Qing Lin, "Leave the girl, and the rest of you can leave!"
"Hmph!" Xiao Tian snorted coldly and vanished in a flash. Reappearing in front of the leader, Xiao Tian's fist, enveloped in a green glow, struck out, heavily injuring him. Xiao Tian then captured the leader and spat out a burst of otherworldly fire, incinerating the other figures into nothingness.
The captured leader, now fearful, threatened, "I am an elder of the Nine Nether Earth Python tribe. If you kill me, the entire tribe will not spare you!"
Xiao Tian waved his sleeve, enveloping the group in a protective shield, and said, "I won't kill you, but I'll make you wish for death!" He then tossed the elder to Qing Lin, "He's yours. Control him!"
"Got it," Qing Lin replied, green light shooting from her eyes and enveloping the elder, controlling him instantly.
After controlling him, Qing Lin said, "Master Xiao Tian, this isn't good. He's recognized me as having the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils and has already sent a message back to the Nine Nether Earth Python tribe!"
"No need to worry. If they dare to come after us, we'll capture them all," Xiao Tian said calmly. Despite the Nine Nether Earth Python tribe having Dou Sheng-level strength, they wouldn't send their Dou Sheng to handle this. After all, if a Dou Sheng had to intervene in every matter, there would be no need for elders.
Confident he could handle any Dou Zun or even Ban Sheng-level threat, Xiao Tian led the group deeper into the Beast Bone Mountain Range until they reached its core.
Upon arrival, Zi Yan said, "I can sense a powerful space seal here."
"Can you get us inside?" Xiao Tian asked. He had brought Zi Yan along not only for the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit within the ruins but also because of her spatial talent. The Void Ancient Dragon tribe had a natural affinity for space, allowing them to traverse space barriers with ease.
"With such a strong seal, I can only bring one person through," Zi Yan replied.
"That's fine. You all can enter the space gate first. Once we're inside, I'll let you out," Xiao Tian said, summoning the space gate for Little Doctor Fairy and the others.
After they entered the space gate, Zi Yan quickly formed a series of complex hand seals, and purple light burst from her body, enveloping both her and Xiao Tian.
"Whoosh!"
A purple beam shot through the void, aiming for a specific spot. As they approached, their speed slowed, revealing an invisible spatial seal.
The space rippled, making sounds like flowing water, and the purple light carrying Xiao Tian and Zi Yan penetrated the seal. Upon entering, Xiao Tian felt an incredibly oppressive energy bearing down on him. This energy was so violent and overwhelming that even his strong body groaned under the pressure.
"Damn, the seal's power here is terrifying!" Xiao Tian thought, quickly activating the Azure Dragon Transformation technique. Green light enveloped him, and dragon scales and skin covered his body.
The passage of time had weakened the seal, and his strong body allowed him to withstand the energy. However, ordinary Dou Zun entering here would be instantly crushed.
While Xiao Tian could endure the energy, moving was still challenging. He activated the Heaven and Earth Ancient Array within him, emitting a force that nullified the oppressive energy around him.
The space was filled with bone seas, and at the core stood a massive structure resembling a mountain—a colossal palace.
The palace, entirely red, stood out against the white bone sea like a flame. Without the spatial seal, this Dou Sheng ruin would have long been discovered and plundered by countless others.
