The fighting power displayed by Lin Ran completely exceeded everyone's imagination.
Yao Xiaotian and the Great Elder, who were both Douluo Saints, were so weak in front of Lin Ran. Not to mention competing with Lin Ran, they were defeated by Lin Ran in just one encounter!
The patriarch and the great elder of the Nine Netherworld Python were like two loaches at this moment, being caught in the hands of the huge golden giant.
The Nine Nether Earth Pythons present were all in a commotion. Even if the clan leader and the great elder really had some disputes with the previous clan leader, Lin Ran's actions at this moment were completely a slap in the face of the Nine Nether Earth Python!
"Let's see who dares to disrespect my benefactor!"
But an angry shout rang out at this moment.
Behind Lin Ran, Yao Ming's robes rustled, and his eyes shot like sharp swords at Yao Tian Xiao in Lin Ran's hands and the Great Elder, and then looked at the Nine Netherworld Python that was ready to move.
He was no longer hiding at this moment. He took a step and walked out slowly. As he took a step, a strong and terrifying aura burst out from his body like an overwhelming force.
"Two-star Dou Sheng?!"
Feeling the strength of this aura, Yao Tianxiao and the Great Elder turned pale. They had never expected that after being suppressed for so many years, Yao Ming's strength had not declined but increased, directly soaring from the level of a half-saint to a two-star Dou Sheng!
"As expected of the Yao Ming clan leader, this talent is much stronger than Yao Tianxiao!"
Elder Ming and the others also had ecstatic looks in their eyes. As magical beasts, their cultivation speed might not be as fast as that of humans, but they had a long lifespan. In the beast world, it was already a very fast speed to reach a two-star Douluo from a semi-saint in hundreds of years.
"Brother Lin Ran, I will remember your kindness in my heart. You can do whatever you want with these two bastards. Even if it's the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, I am willing to share them with you!"
Yao Ming turned his gaze to Lin Ran, and suddenly bowed slowly to the latter. His low voice was mixed with deep gratitude. If Lin Ran had not rescued him from the underworld, if Lin Ran had not given him the elixir, his ending today would have been to die of resentment again!
"How much of your strength has recovered?" Lin Ran said with a faint smile.
"Sixty percent, but it's more than enough to intimidate some rats!" Yao Ming laughed.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the Nine Netherworld Pythons present were speechless.
Regardless of Yao Ming's identity or his power as a two-star Dou Sheng, they could only calmly accept the fact that Yao Ming had returned. Elder Ming and others who had supported Yao Ming were overjoyed at this moment!
"No, no, no!"
"Brother, save me, I don't want to be captured by this human, brother, we are brothers, brother!"
"I was also seduced by the Great Elder and fell into such a beastly act just now! Save me, Big Brother!"
Feeling Yao Ming's breath, Yao Xiaotian, who was held in Lin Ran's hand, screamed, and a look of fear appeared on his originally sinister face.
"Now you know that I am your elder brother? All the suffering I have endured over the past few hundred years is all because of you!"
Yao Ming's tone was grim. He looked at Yao Tianxiao's head. His blood-stained face suddenly softened for a moment. "Back then, I truly treated you as my own brother. If you hadn't betrayed me, the position of clan leader would have been yours sooner or later."
"From childhood to adulthood, you have always enjoyed all the good things first. I have done nothing wrong. I..."
"It's time to shut up!"
Lin Ran glanced at Yao Xiaotian indifferently, and the terrifying soul power poured out. Yao Xiaotian trembled violently, and then his eyes became dull and fell into calm.
"Chief! Chief!" The great elder on the side looked at the scene with horror on his face and shouted.
But in response to his call, Yao Xiaotian seemed stupid and did not respond at all.
The Great Elder swallowed slowly, he did not expect that Lin Ran would be so cruel and did not leave Yao Tianxiao any chance of survival. This kind of soul shattering was even more terrifying than killing Yao Xiaotian!
Seeing this scene, the people who were originally fighting against some elders of the older generation turned pale and trembled, not daring to make the slightest movement.
"Don't worry, it's your turn now."
Lin Ran turned his gaze to the Great Elder and said calmly.
Seeing Lin Ran's gaze, the Great Elder's body trembled.
His soul died and turned into a puppet. He could never accept this kind of ending!
"Devil Snake Sky Explosion!"
The Great Elder quickly glanced at Yao Ming and Lin Ran, and suddenly he gritted his teeth. His body suddenly swelled up and his skin squirmed rapidly, as if something was about to break out of his body.
"Want to self-destruct?"
Lin Ran sneered, and the terrifying soul of the great perfection of the heavenly realm burst out at this moment.
In just a moment, the Great Elder's self-explosion was abruptly stopped by Lin Ran!
Looking at the Great Elder who also had a dazed look on his face, everyone present understood that there would be no more of these two people in this world, and the Nine Nether Earth Python would return to the control of Yao Ming.
"Congratulations to Chief Yao Ming for returning to the throne. We will follow him till death!"
The elders with considerable seniority quickly stepped forward and spoke respectfully to Yao Ming.
"Thank you all, elders. You will handle the clan's affairs. Those who should not be kept will no longer be allowed to stay." Yao Ming said lightly. If he wanted to take the throne again, he must get rid of some of Yao Tianxiao's cronies, otherwise, there would be trouble sooner or later.
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, the elders quickly responded respectfully.
Lin Ran looked at Yao Ming who was handling the clan's affairs in an orderly manner, and nodded slightly. Although this person had been sealed for so many years, his spirit was still there. If he developed properly in the future, he would also be a hero.
"call out!"
When Lin Ran released his Vajra Glass Body, Cai Lin also flew out from the deep ravine and finally hovered beside him. She could not take part in the previous battle, so she did not show up.
"Brother Lin Ran, this time, thanks to your help..."
After giving instructions on many things, Yao Ming turned around, bowed and spoke sincerely to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran smiled calmly: "Since you have surrendered to me, you are mine, so I will naturally help you."
"Brother Lin Ran, I am unable to repay your kindness. I will not say any more empty words like sharing the Nine Netherworld Python, but I must give you something in return no matter what. Haha, don't rush to refuse. I think you will be interested in the reward I mentioned." Yao Ming pondered for a moment, suddenly smiled and said.
"Oh?" Lin Ran raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I wonder if Brother Lin Ran has ever heard of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint?" Yao Ming said with a smile.
"Yellow Spring Demon Saint?"
Lin Ran was startled, and then his expression finally showed some emotion: "The Great Sage Huang Quan who once stepped half a foot into the Dou Emperor level in ancient times?"
Here we come!
Lin Ran's heart tightened. Compared to controlling the entire Nine Nether Earth Python through Yao Ming, the power of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint was obviously more tempting to Lin Ran!
Whether it was the three Yellow Spring fighting skills or the blood essence of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint, they were all things that Lin Ran coveted!
"Yellow Spring Demon Saint..."
Lin Ran stared at Yao Ming closely. After a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "Why? Could it be that this legendary Yellow Springs Demon Saint is related to the Nine Netherworld Python Clan?"
"Haha, Huangquan Demon Saint is not a member of our clan, but he has a great connection with our clan. When this peerless strong man died, the inheritance he left behind has long since disappeared over the years." Yao Ming smiled, and then whispered: "But in my Nine Nether Earth Python clan, there is still a Huangquan stele. This has been passed down from ancient times. In this stele, what Huangquan Demon Saint has learned throughout his life is recorded. It is even said that deep in the stele, the essence and blood of Huangquan Demon Saint still remain."
"Blood of the Demon Saint?"
The Yellow Spring Demon Saint has already reached the level of being half a step into the realm of Dou Di. His strength has truly reached the level of being comparable to nature, even above Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi!
When a strong person reaches this level, the blood in his body can gradually mutate. As long as he can completely take that step, his descendants will also enjoy the power of his blood and be protected for hundreds of generations. From then on, a new ancient race will be born.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Of course, Huangquan Demon Saint never successfully took the last step until the day he died, so his descendants did not have that blessing. But although the power of blood could not be passed down to his descendants, the blood essence of Huangquan Demon Saint himself still possessed infinite power.
"Since there is such a great secret hidden in the Yellow Springs Stele, why has no one from your Nine Nether Earth Python clan taken it out until now?"
"Haha, brother Lin Ran is right. The Yellow Spring Stele is the clan treasure of our Nine Netherworld Python clan. On the stele, there are three kinds of fighting skills engraved: Yellow Spring Finger and Yellow Spring Palm. The former is a low-level heavenly-grade fighting skill, while the latter is a mid-level heavenly-grade fighting skill. Both are extremely powerful, but only the clan leader and a few elders can practice them." Yao Ming said with a smile.
"Yellow Spring Finger, Yellow Spring Palm, what about the last one?"
"The Wrath of the Underworld!"
"The Wrath of the Underworld?"
Lin Ran raised his head abruptly: "Yellow Spring Finger, determines life and death, Yellow Spring Wrath, shatters human souls, the famous skill of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint back then, Yellow Spring Sky Wrath?!"
Huangquan Tiannu, to be precise, is a sonic fighting skill, and it is an advanced heavenly-level sonic fighting skill.
It is recorded in ancient books that in that era, the Wrath of the Underworld was so great that even some Dousheng-level warriors would shudder in fear. Among those peak warriors who fell at the hands of the Demon Saint of Underworld, at least nine out of ten had their souls shattered by the Wrath of the Underworld.
Heavenly level advanced fighting skills!
Lin Ran has not yet mastered this level of fighting skills. If he can master this level of fighting skills, coupled with the strength of the soul of the Great Perfection of the Heaven Realm, even if it is a five-star or six-star Dou Sheng, Lin Ran will dare to fight it!
"Haha, it is the famous skill of Huangquan Yaosheng, Huangquan Tianfu." Yao Ming was very satisfied with Lin Ran's surprise and said with a smile.
"However, over the years, no one in my clan has been able to cultivate to the level of Yellow Springs Sky Wrath, because the fighting skill is hidden deep inside the stone tablet, and we simply cannot obtain the method to cultivate it. In addition, no one has dared to forcibly break it open for fear of damaging the Demon Saint's blood essence inside."
"What does Brother Yao Ming mean by saying this? Even the powerful men of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan throughout the generations were unable to obtain the cultivation method of the Yellow Springs Skywrath, let alone us?" Lin Ran snorted.
"Haha, others may not be able to do it, but for Brother Lin Ran, it probably won't be a problem." Yao Ming said with a smile.
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"Brother Lin Ran's soul power is the most powerful I have ever seen. In the Yellow Springs Stele, there is a trace of the remaining soul of the Yellow Springs Demon Saint, and the method of practicing Yellow Springs Skywrath is hidden in that remaining soul." Yao Ming smiled and said, "We monsters don't pay attention to soul power. Even with my strength, the soul power I possess is probably about the same as that of a seventh-grade alchemist, but I can't tame that remaining soul with this."
"After these years of exploration, we have discovered that it takes a soul that has at least reached the Heaven Realm to successfully penetrate the stone tablet. However, generally speaking, only some of the Grand Master-level alchemists among humans can possess souls of this realm. In the past, our clan also discussed inviting a Grand Master of Alchemy, but later on, because they were worried that the Yellow Spring Stone Tablet would be exposed and cause some unnecessary trouble, they had to hold back."
"After all, the Yellow Springs Stele contains the blood essence of the Yellow Springs Demon Saint. If this gets out, even some Dou Sheng masters will be eager to make a move. Even some clan members only know the existence of the Yellow Springs Stele, but don't know what is hidden in it."
Lin Ran smiled slightly, looked at Yao Ming, and said, "Do you trust me so much? You told me such an important secret?"
"Brother Lin Ran, you are joking. Just as you said, you and I are now allies. What is there to believe or not believe?" Yao Ming smiled bitterly and said, "I told you this secret because I want to repay you a little. I am not a person who will not repay a favor. Secondly, I want to use your ability to open the stone tablet, so that I can improve my strength and completely control the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan."
Hearing this, Lin Ran burst into laughter.
This Yao Ming is really straightforward, he likes it!
"In that case, I will give it a try to see if I can deal with the remaining spirit of the demon saint in the stone tablet!"
"In that case, Yao Ming would like to thank Brother Lin Ran for his help."
Hearing this, Yao Ming was also very happy and smiled.
"But there is no rush for this matter. Brother Lin Ran has also fought a great battle today. I will take the opportunity to sort out the affairs of the clan after you have rested for a night. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to the Yellow Spring Stele!"
"Yeah, that's fine."
The Nine Netherworld Python clan encountered a major change, and naturally there were some bloody incidents overnight, but Lin Ran did not care much about these things.
Although Yao Ming is now his, he understands Warcraft's character. It is better for him not to interfere in his own affairs as his family members deal with their own affairs.
…
The chaos lasted all night and finally calmed down at dawn. When the morning light poured down from the sky, the demon appeared early in front of the room where Lin Ran and Cai Lin lived. Then, it called a group of people out and headed directly towards the back mountain.
The group did not stop along the way, and in just ten minutes, they landed on an ancient altar.
This altar is extremely magnificent and is built entirely of huge blue stones. Standing on the top of the altar, one can overlook some of the surrounding mountains.
Lin Ran and his group slowly landed on top of the altar. In the center of the altar, there was a huge pale yellow stone tablet, about a hundred feet in size, standing there lonely. An ancient breath permeated the air, as if it had existed forever.
"Is this the legendary Yellow Spring Stele?"
