Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"Heaven Venerate?"

Xiao Yi's complexion changed drastically, an intensely grave expression flowing through his eyes.

Deep in the southernmost region, a massive figure suddenly soared into the sky, the figure at least a kilometer long and entirely ice blue in color.

It was unmistakably a ten-thousand-year ice python.

The entirety of the ice python was covered in shield-like Scale Armor, the glimmering scales emitting a clanging, harsh sound as the body wriggled.

In the midst of its roaring cries,

a terrifying storm of destruction swept across heaven and earth.

Where the storm passed, snowstorms raged.

As the hurricane roared past, a heavy snowfall followed closely, covering everything in its path with a thick layer of ice amid crackling sounds.

The face of the Sea Demon Emperor was filled with despair and terror as he ran towards Xiao Yi in an extremely disheveled manner, shouting, "Lord Protector, save me, save me…"

Xiao Yi: "..."

Save your sister!

Although the approach of this ten-thousand-year ice python revealed that this beast was not at the Heaven Venerate Realm but was at the Peak of Earth Venerate Realm.

With his current strength, facing a ten-thousand-year ice python at the Peak of Earth Venerate, wouldn't that mean trouble?

With that thought,

Xiao Yi turned and walked away without looking back.

Sea Demon Emperor: "..."

Roar!

With a violent flick of its huge body, the ten-thousand-year ice python's enormous tail whipped up a wind as sharp as blades and caught the Sea Demon Emperor mid-air, then with a booming sound,

crushed the Sea Demon Emperor into a pulp of meat.

Xiao Yi's face changed drastically.

The Sea Demon Emperor was comparable to the Earth Venerate Realm; was he really unable to withstand even a single tail swipe from it?

Lost in thought...

A cold, deathly chill swept up from behind in an instant.

Xiao Yi felt all of his body hair stand on end and glanced backward from the corner of his eye, only to see the ten-thousand-year ice python was already catching up, the distance between them getting closer.

Hearing the whooshing sounds approaching from behind,

he could even smell the horrid stench from the other's mouth.

"Damn, it's too fast…" Xiao Yi said with a grave look, realizing he was at a big disadvantage if he tried to outrun the ten-thousand-year ice python.

With that thought,

a fierce light flitted across his eyes.

Whoosh!

Xiao Yi abruptly turned around, simultaneously slapping his hands on the ground.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Two bursts of Divine Power converged into energy orbs that fell to the ground with booming sounds, exploding and creating a deafening noise. As the earth shook and dust flew, Xiao Yi used the explosive force to retreat rapidly.

He skidded on the ground, leaving fierce trails behind.

At the same time…

His right hand reached forward, the void trembled, and the Demon Sword Slash Moon fell into his palm. Xiao Yi, holding the sword in one hand and lightning in his eyes, let out a light shout as the longsword swept across the sky: "Sword Twenty-three!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Sword lights soared from the Slash Moon.

Sword beams danced across the sky, eventually converging into a hundred-foot giant sword, which ferociously crashed down on the ice python's head.

With a loud bang,

the ten-thousand-year ice python's massive body heavily slammed into the ground, headfirst creating a hundred-meter-deep pit, and its body staggered and toppled over.

Xiao Yi then seized this opportunity to push his speed to the limit.

Roar!

Roar!

The outraged roars of the ten-thousand-year ice python got increasingly distant until Xiao Yi could no longer hear them, and only then did he slow down. Looking into the deep, snowy southernmost region, Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief but also frowned slightly: "There's definitely something wrong with this core area of the southernmost region…"

In the far south, this place is known as the Life Forbidden Zone.

Here, apart from some extremely cold-resistant monster beasts, there were no other living creatures.

But even those beasts that lived in the far south couldn't possibly grow so powerful, let alone a ten-thousand-year ice python which, even if it truly lived for ten thousand years, could at best match the Human Venerate Realm.

That one just now was comparable to the Peak of Earth Venerate Realm!

Plus, during these past ten days...

They had hunted various monster beasts in the far south, and the mysterious crystals they obtained were each equivalent to a Spirit Vein.

Xiao Yi was clearly unwilling to leave just like that.

As this thought crossed his mind.

Xiao Yi searched through many inheritances in his mind and found a unique movement technique "Five Elements Escapism Skill," along with a Concealment Skill named "Formless and Shadowless."

The Five Elements Escapism Skill allowed one to escape through the elements.

To escape into water, to walk within soil.

"Formless and Shadowless" was also exceedingly strange. Unless the opponent's strength was a whole realm higher, there was no hope of finding his whereabouts.

With Xiao Yi's strength now comparable to the Earth Venerate Realm, unless he encountered a true Heaven Venerate-level expert, it was basically impossible for him to be found.

"My luck can't be that bad to bump into a Heaven Venerate in this Life Forbidden Zone, right?" Xiao Yi muttered to himself as he deployed the Five Elements Escapism Skill and quietly submerged into the ground.

Even amidst the layers of soil, Xiao Yi moved freely, the thick soil around him causing no hindrance whatsoever.

He continued his clandestine approach towards the core area of the far south.

Throughout this path, he encountered no obstacles and smoothly approached the core of the far south, with his spiritual power revolving, covering the surroundings.

The landscape above ground appeared in his mind.

There was a lush forest in an octagonal shape, and at every protruding corner, a massive beast was entrenched.

The ten-thousand-year ice python that Xiao Yi had encountered was among them, its cold eyes still murderous, vigilantly scouting its surroundings.

"What exactly is this place? There are eight Earth Venerate Peak level monster beasts guarding just the outskirts of the forest?" Xiao Yi was shocked by the scene he saw.

Earth Venerate Realm!

Even in Colossal entities like the Changsheng Sect, Nantian Sanctuary, and Nantian Dynasty, Earth Venerate experts were pillar-like existences.

Rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!

This place was known as a Life Forbidden Zone, scarce in resources, such creatures shouldn't exist here.

"Eh?"

Xiao Yi was shocked as he discovered a group of shrinking monster beasts, lined up in neat formations heading towards the forest.

The eight Earth Venerate Realm beasts glanced at them and then dispersed, the group of about three thousand beasts walked into the forest in unison.

Xiao Yi stealthily remained beneath the surface, relying on the Escape Technique and Concealment Skill, unnoticed by the monster beasts. He infiltrated the dense forest and saw the group of beasts reaching the center of the forest where there was a patch of azure amber, the lake water clear, resembling an ordinary piece of green jade embedded in the woods.

These beasts all knelt in front of the lake.

Blob-blob-blob!

Bubbles rose from the bottom of the lake, and a huge water column lifted in the splashing sound of water. As the giant water curtain dispersed, a colossal willow tree emitting golden light appeared before everyone.

All the creatures were respectfully prostrating, not daring to move a muscle.

Splash-splash!

As the willow tree swayed, streams of green lake water flew up, sprinkling on the foreheads of the beasts with a swoosh.

The green lake water merged into their bodies.

Each one of the beasts' auras surged several times in an instant.

Amidst a series of crackling sounds, these monster beasts' bodies continuously swelled, and many of them instantly ascended a whole realm.

Xiao Yi was dumbstruck: "What on earth is this? It's practically akin to a divine medicine!"

Some of these beasts had instantly advanced from third order to fifth order!

If the disciples from the Xiaoshanhe Institute were to drink this water, how many strong individuals would emerge?

For a moment.

Xiao Yi's eyes blazed fiercely, his figure darting towards the lake.

Moments later.

Xiao Yi reached the edge of the lake. With the Five Elements Escapism Skill, he easily merged with the water. The green lake water was teeming with overwhelming energy.

Each drop was comparable to a Spirit Vein.

Xiao Yi's heart pounded wildly, he opened his mouth and began to devour the lake water, and as the water entered his body, a revolutionary change took place…
