Chapter 999: 981 Snake Lord_1
Upon arriving at the Azure Cloud Divine Mountain, everything around was shrouded in darkness, and the oppressive aura of the Demonic Path made even Chu Qin's avatar feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Chu Qin hadn't let his women come down, otherwise, it would likely cause a lot of trouble.
As the avatar of Chu Qin delved deeper, he saw many bones of peculiar beasts along the way. These bones had already turned yellow, having been dead for many years!
It was to be expected, after all, the Azure Cloud Divine Mountain had been attacked before it was hidden within the Starry Sky Domain, and countless tens of thousands of years had passed since then.
Currently, Chu Qin was somewhat puzzled in his heart, wondering if the Qingyun Imperial Venerate was still alive.
Moments later, Chu Qin's avatar had reached the center of the Azure Cloud Divine Mountain, and above its mountain gate were emblazoned the three big characters of "Earthly Immortal Sect."
Despite the terrifying aura that pervaded the Azure Cloud Divine Mountain, the buildings of the Earthly Immortal Sect were surprisingly well preserved.
And Chu Qin noticed that at the pinnacle of the Earthly Immortal Sect, there was a gigantic black energy sphere.
The dark clouds covered the sky as they surged out from within the black energy sphere.
The energy sphere itself emitted a suffocating sensation that even made Chu Qin's avatar struggle to breathe.
Since it was merely an avatar, Chu Qin naturally had no inhibitions and quickly approached the energy sphere.
This was a black sphere with a diameter of several thousand kilometers, and from within, Chu Qin seemed to vaguely make out a shadowy figure.
The shadow's features were indistinct, but it was covered with innumerable tentacles.
Wait a minute!
Chu Qin was surprised to discover that within the black energy sphere, there was also a greenish protective light.
"Could it be the Qingyun Imperial Venerate!" Chu Qin exclaimed with a hint of excitement.
"Hiss!" Just then, a series of sharp shrieks were heard as many Black Serpents appeared on either side of Chu Qin out of nowhere.
These Black Serpents, each exuding a terrible aura of evil, had blood-red eyes and looked at Chu Qin as if he was their prey.
The next second, hundreds of Black Serpents attacked Chu Qin!
Chu Qin was undaunted, his body protected by Buddha's light.
While these Black Serpents were formidable, each of them possessing the strength of at least a Divine Master, they were no match for Chu Qin's avatar, who was at the strength of the Saint Sovereign Third Layer, and were consequently crushed into dust in an instant.
At that moment, the ground began to shake violently, and it wasn't long before three giant Black Serpents shattered the solid rocks of the earth and burst forth from underground!
Each of these giant snakes was a hundred meters long, and unlike those smaller black snakes, their bodies were covered in hexagonal scales that gleamed with a metallic luster.
Moreover, the shape of their heads was fanlike, reminiscent of the King Cobra that Chu Qin had seen in a previous life!
At the same time, Chu Qin could distinctly feel that these three black-scaled giant snakes possessed strength not inferior to that of the Scarlet Dragon Lord, meaning these were three Saint Sovereign-level Black Serpents!
"If you don't want to die, get out of here!" one of the black-scaled giant snakes said in a human voice.
However, no sooner had its words fallen than Buddha's light shone forth in front of all three Black Serpents.
Chu Qin was an avatar; he feared nothing!
Even possessing the strength of Saint Sovereigns, these three black-scaled giant snakes were insignificant in front of Chu Qin.
Thus, in just an instant, they were subdued by the Buddha's Hand emanated from Chu Qin's Buddha's light and were pinned down onto the ground.
Chu Qin paid no further attention to the three giant serpents and his gaze returned to the black energy sphere.
Just a moment ago, Chu Qin had vividly felt something stir within that black energy sphere housing the shadow.
The next second, Chu Qin's avatar's pupils constricted as he hastily tried to retreat, but it was too late; a black figure appeared before Chu Qin.
The man's face was terrifying, resembling that of a demon, but he appeared to be male. Clad in a black robe, his entire body was entwined with numerous Black Serpents.
"How dare you have the audacity to interrupt my cultivation!" the black-robed man bellowed in a spine-chilling voice at Chu Qin.
"Who are you, and where is Qingyun Imperial Venerate!" Chu Qin asked calmly. Having met mighty beings like Garuda Heavenly Venerate, Chu Qin was not the least bit afraid of this black-robed man, despite the unfathomable depth of his realm.
"Turns out, you're a friend of Qingyun Imperial Venerate!" The black-robed man let out a ghostly smile and said, "She's already dead. I'll send you to meet her!"
No sooner had the black-robed man's words fallen than a bony, grisly hand extended from beneath the wide black robe and charged toward Chu Qin.
Chu Qin, of course, was not going to sit and wait for death. He immediately activated the Ancient Buddha Overlord Body, standing his ground firm and unshakable like an immovable Vajra.
"So, you're one of the bald donkeys from the Great Thousand Buddha Nation!" The black-robed man sneered coldly, as a black light surged in his bony palm, rushing straight toward Chu Qin's Vajra body!
"Boom!"
A fierce blast echoed as the powers of Chu Qin and the black-robed serpent man collided instantly.
The terrible aftermath stirred up a tremendously fierce wind.
At that moment, all the buildings of the Azure Cloud Divine Mountain were swept up by the gale, yet none of the structures fell.
In the distance, however, sheer peaks were shattered outright, with rocks and earth dancing wildly in the sky!
"With merely the strength of Saint Sovereign Third Layer, you wish to save someone from me? How laughable!" scoffed the black-robed serpent man, as another palm transformed into a black energy sphere.
The black-robed serpent man, who dared to dismiss a cultivator of the Saint Sovereign Third Layer, was undoubtedly at the Imperial Honor Rank.
Between the Saint Sovereign Third Layer and the Imperial Honor Rank lies a mere single realm, yet the gap is as vast as heaven and earth!
In the next second, the black energy sphere surged towards Chu Qin!
With a booming sound, the black energy sphere enveloped Chu Qin and the Buddha's Light within it, before exploding violently.
In an instant, Chu Qin's clone was smashed to pieces!
"What a waste of time!"
"Soon, my Magic Finger Divine Skill will be complete!"
Having disposed of Chu Qin's clone, the black-robed serpent man was about to return to the black energy sphere to continue his cultivation.
But then, two Demon Dragons attacked the black-robed serpent man together from both sides!
The black-robed serpent man was slightly taken aback, as his bony palms stretched out to strike the two Demon Dragons with a heavy blow.
At this moment, the black-robed serpent man was even more surprised.
He realized that while these two Demon Dragons undoubtedly wielded the power of the Demonic Path, it was a kind of power he had never encountered!
Such power seemed even more overbearing than that of a pure Demonic Path emperor.
That was no surprise since the Blood Dragon Venerable's Supreme Demon Dragons were forged with the strength of the leading figure among the Twenty-Four Devil Ancestors of the Demonic Path. How could his Demonic Path power even compare?
Even so, the power of these two Supreme Demon Dragons was still no match for the black-robed serpent man.
The black-robed serpent man's body surged with a black light, forcing the two Supreme Demon Dragons to retreat!
However, at that very moment above his head, an astoundingly handsome figure appeared, wielding a golden Demon-Subduing Pestle, pouring it down onto his forehead!
It was none other than Chu Qin himself, arriving with the Heavenly Inferno Demonic Staff in hand!
Upon seeing Chu Qin still alive, the black-robed serpent man was immediately startled!
And right on top of his head was the lock to his life gate!
