Chapter 221: The Yellow Springs Demon Saint
"Brother Xiao Tian, please wait here for a moment while I handle some tribal affairs. I'll have a significant gift for you shortly," Yao Ming said, bowing to Xiao Tian before leaving with his Nine Serene Deep Ground Serpent tribe members.
Seeing this, Xiao Tian dove back into the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, swimming deeper until he reached its source. He stopped not because he couldn't go further but because the temperature below was too extreme, even for his fire abilities.
"Swish!"
The space door opened, and the Medusa Queen emerged. Over the years, she had advanced to the Dou Zun (Dou Sovereign) realm.
"There's a lair of the Seven-Colored Swallowing Python below, with the inheritance of the Nine-Colored Swallowing Python. Go and accept the inheritance," Xiao Tian instructed.
"Yes, Master," the Medusa Queen responded, diving downward. Despite the cold of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, she seemed unaffected.
"When we meet again, you'll be a Dou Saint," Xiao Tian thought as he watched her disappear, then returned to the shore where Yao Ming awaited.
"I have a friend meditating at the bottom of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs," Xiao Tian informed Yao Ming.
"Don't worry, Brother Xiao Tian, I will ensure no one disturbs your friend," Yao Ming assured. "The gift I mentioned involves an ancient Dou Saint."
"Have you heard of the Yellow Springs Demon Saint?" Yao Ming asked.
"The one who had half a foot into the Dou Emperor realm?" Xiao Tian replied.
"Precisely," Yao Ming confirmed. "Though this supreme being has fallen, he left behind a legacy stone tablet in my tribe, containing three supreme techniques. One of these techniques is the Yellow Springs Finger, which you saw earlier. It's said the stone tablet also contains his essence blood."
Xiao Tian's eyes sparkled at the mention. The essence blood of a near-Dou Emperor was invaluable, potentially allowing him to break through to the Dou Saint realm. Moreover, the three techniques included the advanced Heaven-ranked Yellow Springs Fury, a powerful soul and soundwave technique.
"Follow me," Yao Ming said, leading Xiao Tian to an ancient altar made of giant green stones. At the center stood a massive yellow stone tablet, exuding an ancient aura.
Xiao Tian observed the stone tablet, inscribed with strange runes and radiating a strong soul pressure. "Impressive, Yellow Springs Demon Saint. Even a remnant of his soul exudes such power."
Yao Ming solemnly bowed to the stone tablet and said, "This stone tablet holds the Yellow Springs Fury and the essence blood of the Demon Saint. Whether you can obtain them depends on your ability. Be cautious of the remnant soul guarding it. When I tried, it nearly killed me."
"Thank you for the warning," Xiao Tian acknowledged, sitting on a stone stool before the tablet. His golden soul emerged, hovering before the stone tablet with the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.
"Brother Xiao Tian's soul is incredibly strong," Yao Ming thought, astonished at the golden humanoid soul before him.
Buzz!
As Xiao Tian's soul touched the stone tablet, it rippled like water. His soul vanished into the tablet.
Boom!
In the ancient sky, thunder roared, shaking the heavens. Xiao Tian's soul had barely arrived before lightning struck down at him. He transformed into a black hole, devouring the lightning.
Slash!
A giant finger descended, the Yellow Springs Finger. Xiao Tian, protected by the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, absorbed the attack, converting it to soul power.
"Yellow Springs Demon Saint, these tricks won't work on me," Xiao Tian declared, his voice echoing through the space like thunder.
Boom!
The ground split open, revealing a mountain with a grand throne atop it. On the throne sat a figure in a yellow robe, exuding a terrifying aura that shook the heavens.
"You are not meant to be here, leave now," the figure commanded, his voice filled with soul-deep pressure, causing ripples in Xiao Tian's form.
"You're just a remnant soul now, Demon Saint," Xiao Tian sneered.
"Impudent fool!" The figure on the throne opened his eyes, sending a powerful soul wave like a sword towards Xiao Tian.
"Receive!" Xiao Tian absorbed the attack. "Hand over the Yellow Springs Fury and the essence blood, and I'll spare you," he demanded.
"Even a Heaven-ranked soul dares challenge me? I was an Emperor-ranked soul!" the figure roared, standing up. The surroundings shattered under his aura. "Endure my Yellow Springs Fury, and if you survive, you can have everything."
