Nine Serene Palace.
Yao Ming took the throne, ruling over the entire Nine Serene Deep Ground Python tribe once again. Although those elders who were close to Yao Xiaotian were not killed, they were invisibly marginalized.
New people rise, old people retire.
It has been like this since ancient times.
One night passed quickly. After recovering slightly from his injuries last night, Yao Ming began to handle clan affairs.
He wanted to understand the current situation of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python tribe as soon as possible, so as to facilitate the future development of the clan.
Yao Xiaotian's rule was very brutal, uneven in the distribution of many benefits, poisoning many Beast Region families and accumulating a lot of hatred.
These leftover problems all needed to be dealt with.
In the past few hundred years, the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python tribe expanded rapidly. Although they occupied a lot of territory, it also increased the difficulty of ruling.
Yao Ming knew deeply that this development model was wrong.
No matter how much territory was occupied, if the upper-level strength was not strong enough, how could they protect their foundation?
It took Yao Xiaotian several hundred years to barely become a one-star Dou Saint. Although there were talent issues involved, as the patriarch of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python tribe, this strength was indeed not enough to look at.
Just take this time for example; if Han Feng wanted to sweep across the entire Nine Serene Deep Ground Python tribe, no one could stop him.
The task of improving strength had become very urgent.
Yao Ming decided to abandon some subordinate races and focus on developing the core areas, raising the strength of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python tribe first. As for those vassals, he temporarily had no time to manage them.
Inside an empty palace hall.
Han Feng was resting here.
In front of him burned a blazing flame, containing two Dou Saint skeletons being refined.
Yao Ming didn't have much affection for Yao Xiaotian. Upon learning that Han Feng could refine puppets, he handed over his brother's skeleton to the other party without a second word.
Currently, the distribution plan for these two skeletons was that after refinement, one would stay with the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python tribe, serving as both Yao Ming's helper and an eye to monitor him.
The other one Han Feng would take away himself, incorporating it into the Soul Execution Division system, becoming the first Dou Saint subordinate in the Soul Execution Division.
Tempered by Heavenly Flames, the Dou Saint skeletons emitted a jade-like luster.
It was still somewhat difficult to refine Tier 9 magical beasts.
Han Feng didn't intend to complete the refinement quickly. He just started it, removing some excess impurities.
In the "Sky Demon Puppet" method, the strongest Sky Demon Puppet was actually only at the Dou Venerate realm. To refine a Dou Saint puppet, one needed to start from the skeleton itself and not be constrained by the summary in the method.
However, Han Feng was confident he could succeed; it was just a matter of time.
"Benefactor, I am ready here."
Yao Ming came outside the main hall and notified Han Feng that they could set off.
Han Feng put away the Dou Saint bodies and walked out of the main hall.
"Lead the way."
The two quickly left the palace and arrived at the ancestral land of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python tribe.
The ancestral land was established on a green mountain peak. At the top of the peak, there was a huge bluestone altar. In the center of the altar stood a light yellow stone tablet a hundred zhang high.
Han Feng and Yao Ming went straight all the way and arrived in front of the Yellow Spring Stone Tablet.
A trace of ancient aura emanated from the stone tablet, representing its long history. This aura was somewhat similar to the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion, but the difference between the two was still obvious.
"This is my clan's Yellow Spring Stone Tablet!"
Yao Ming introduced, with faint pride in his words.
In the process of his battle with Yao Xiaotian, what both used most were the Yellow Spring Finger and Yellow Spring Palm inherited from the Yellow Spring Stone Tablet.
Although the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python tribe itself did not lack Heaven Class Dou Techniques, compared to the Dou Techniques created by the Half-Emperor Yellow Spring Demon Saint, they felt somewhat inferior.
The strength of magical beasts mainly came from the power in their bloodlines, and some powerful Dou Techniques also came from bloodline inheritance.
Apart from inherent bloodlines, learning the cultivation methods and Dou Techniques in human society was one of the compulsory courses after magical beasts transformed.
The meridian structure of magical beasts was very different from humans, which was why transformation was needed.
If not for cultivating human race cultivation methods and Dou Techniques, there would be no need for transformation.
Just imagine, if Yao Ming and Yao Xiaotian didn't transform into humans, where would they get the hands to cultivate the Yellow Spring Finger and Yellow Spring Palm?
Han Feng looked at the Yellow Spring Stone Tablet, feeling the simple and unadorned aura emanating from it invisibly.
"The essence blood is inside, right?"
"Yes. Breaking through the final checkpoint will allow one to obtain the final inheritance of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint, as well as his essence blood."
Han Feng nodded.
"Guard me. I'll go inside and take a look."
"Yes!"
Yao Ming retreated ten li to guard Han Feng.
His soul was now controlled by Han Feng; the other party could decide his life and death with a single thought, so he wouldn't do foolish things.
Moreover, Han Feng treated him not badly now. After subduing him, Han Feng didn't humiliate him or force him to do excessive things.
Yao Ming watched Han Feng release his soul body and fly into the Yellow Spring Stone Tablet.
If he wanted to launch a sneak attack, now was the best opportunity.
Yao Ming closed his eyes and sat down slowly.
The pride of a king was not unchangeable; arrogant people would eventually meet their end.
The answer Yao Ming wanted had nothing to do with Han Feng.
The great revenge had been taken. Next was to continue looking forward and lead the development of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python tribe.
Don't let stubborn desires ruin the clarity that was hard to come by.
Yao Ming opened his eyes, the divine light inside clear and powerful.
Hope Benefactor can break through the checkpoint smoothly and obtain the inheritance of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint. Inside the Yellow Spring Stone Tablet.
Han Feng's soul body stepped on the void, standing on a wasteland.
Dark clouds covered the sky, thunder rose everywhere, and huge sounds shook the entire world.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky, striking towards Han Feng's face.
Han Feng raised his hand gently, propping up a soul shield. The lightning struck it but didn't pierce through.
Instead, threads of lightning power flowed into Han Feng's hand and were swallowed by a small silver dragon.
"Yellow Spring Finger..."
Above the sky, energy surged crazily. The original dark clouds turned bright yellow.
A huge finger swept away the clouds and mist, tore apart the lightning, locked onto Han Feng with its aura, and pressed towards him.
"Heaven Origin Finger!"
White light condensed at Han Feng's fingertip. His aura was calm and composed as he pointed a finger towards the yellow finger in the sky.
"One Finger Opens Heaven and Earth!"
Boom!
The two fingers collided. Space trembled gently, and they annihilated simultaneously, not causing too big a wave.
Han Feng's control over power was very precise.
However, at this moment, the ground suddenly cracked open. A huge yellow palm rose from it and slapped towards Han Feng at extremely fast speed.
"Yellow Spring Palm!"
While slapping towards Han Feng, the palm quickly clenched, and a vast energy fluctuation accumulated in the palm center.
Golden light flashed in Han Feng's eyes, and a giant bell condensed outside his body.
"Black Yellow Bell!"
Buzz!
The Yellow Spring Palm force contended with the defensive power of the Black Yellow Bell, unable to break through for a long time. Finally, when the energy was exhausted, it exploded on its own.
Han Feng appeared safe and sound in the sky filled with Yellow Spring Qi.
Yellow Spring Finger, Yellow Spring Palm.
He had already experienced these two Dou Techniques.
Their power was indeed impressive, but for the current Han Feng, they weren't indispensable.
It wasn't that he lacked Heaven Class Dou Techniques, and none of the profundities derived from Heavenly Flames were weaker than Heaven Class.
"Junior, this is not a place you should come. Retreat."
The space in front trembled slightly, and a throne quietly emerged. Sitting on the throne was a man wearing a yellow fur robe. His voice carried extremely strong pressure; every word could shake Han Feng's soul.
Han Feng stared at the other party with a solemn gaze.
Finally coming?This is the power the Yellow Spring Demon Saint should have.The first two moves were just warm-ups. "This junior has heard that Senior Yellow Spring Demon Saint's famous Dou Technique, Yellow Spring Heaven's Anger, is a rare soul killing move in the world."
"I wonder if this junior can be fortunate enough to see it today."
Han Feng's voice was indifferent and confident, with strong fighting intent in his eyes.
"Good lad. Since you know my famous Dou Technique, you should know that once this move is unleashed, there is death and no injury!"
The yellow-robed figure stared at Han Feng, pressure rising.
Han Feng looked as usual, shaking his head slightly.
"I think, not necessarily."
"Hahahaha, good, good, good!"
The yellow-robed man laughed loudly, "Then let you witness, Yellow Spring Heaven's Anger!"
A strange hand seal condensed, and the yellow-robed man opened his mouth slightly.
Although Han Feng said "not necessarily", in his heart, he raised his vigilance to the extreme.
Yellow Spring Heaven's Anger was a High Heaven Class Dou Technique, mainly attacking the soul.
It was rumored that the Yellow Spring Demon Saint relied on this move to kill several Dou Saints with one blow.
Since this move acted on the soul, even a Dou Saint could not resurrect. Therefore, the phrase "there is death and no injury" was really not empty words.
However, the yellow-robed man in front of him was obviously not the Yellow Spring Demon Saint at his peak combat power, but merely a remnant soul.
Han Feng narrowed his eyes, and a Sanskrit seal also condensed in his hand.
"Fallen Heart Flame."
"Fallen Sanskrit Heart!"
Rumble!
Between heaven and earth, energy became frantically restless. Around the Yellow Spring Demon Saint's remnant soul, strange spatial ripples suddenly appeared, and laws quickly evolved behind him.
Buzz!
In the blink of an eye, a huge energy phantom fully a thousand zhang large condensed. This was a Dharma Body condensed from the power of laws.
Cultivators could condense Dharma Bodies starting from Dou Venerate, but the power of Dharma Bodies varied.
The thousand-zhang large Dharma Body in front of him obviously far exceeded the power of a Dou Venerate realm Dharma Body.
"This is... the Yellow Spring Demon Saint's true body!"
Han Feng looked at the huge phantom in front of him. Although the phantom was large, every detail carved on its body perfectly reproduced the appearance of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint.
To achieve this, besides powerful cultivation base itself, deep soul power was needed as support.
"Actually using the true body as the Dharma Body. Truly worthy of a powerhouse from ancient times who relied on himself to step into Half-Emperor."
Han Feng exclaimed in his heart.
One should know that even when Han Feng advanced to Dou God in his previous life, the Dou God Dharma Body he displayed was not evolved from his true body.
After all, he was originally just a two-star Dou Saint, far less powerful than those Dharma Bodies solidified in the long river of history.
Like the Yellow Spring Demon Saint, those who could condense themselves as Dharma Bodies were all cultivators who reached the apex of the continent by relying on their own strength.
Without the long accumulation and tempering of their own power, it was impossible to verify oneself.
Even having cultivation base was not enough; eventually, one could only copy others' inheritance.
In this life, after breaking through to Dou Venerate, Han Feng had been paying attention to this point. He did not choose to condense other Dharma Bodies but had been cultivating the path of laws he chose, wanting to wait until the time was ripe in the future to try to verify himself.
At that time, his strength would inevitably advance further.
Han Feng took a deep breath, and Bodhi golden light flashed in his eyes simultaneously.
The Buddhist "Bodhi Sutra" was also passed down in Sanskrit and could mutually reinforce the Fallen Sanskrit Heart.
"Come."
In the sky, a strange sound wave emitted from the Yellow Spring Demon Saint's mouth.
"Moo!"
One word blurted out, and that massive true body phantom dissipated instantly. At the same time, what attacked was a sound wave annihilating all things.
Wherever the sound wave passed, space cracked inch by inch. The destructive power of laws seemed to want to destroy heaven and earth.
Han Feng put his palms together and closed his eyes.
Boom!
In the next instant, his whole person was submerged in the endless sound waves.
The entire world was completely destroyed within a few breaths. The wasteland underfoot now turned into a pitch-black abyss, and the green mountains in the distance all turned into powder.
The clouds in the sky had turned into nothingness, revealing the dark and deep universe in the sky.
In the singular darkness, only a yellow throne still stood.
The Yellow Spring Demon Saint looked at the position where Han Feng was just now with a pale face.
That move just now consumed quite a bit of his power.
After all, he was just a remnant soul; unleashing a High Heaven Class Dou Technique was still very strenuous.
"Truly... the younger generation is formidable..."
The Yellow Spring Demon Saint suddenly chuckled.
The darkness dissipated, and soft light illuminated the place where Han Feng stood just now.
Han Feng slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
"Worthy of being Senior Yellow Spring Demon Saint's famous Dou Technique. If Senior had raised the power a bit more just now, this junior afraid would have been severely injured."
"Hahaha, it's just a test. If I used my full strength and suppressed you with my realm, wouldn't it be hard for anyone in this world to receive my inheritance?"
It wasn't that the Yellow Spring Demon Saint was arrogant; his soul realm had long stepped into the Di Realm. In the current Dou Qi Continent, even if someone could cultivate to nine-star Dou Saint, was the Di Realm soul so easy to step into?
The Yellow Spring Demon Saint looked at Han Feng with burning eyes.
"You are very good. Being able to develop such a powerful soul secret technique relying on Heavenly Flames. This is the Fallen Heart Flame, right?"
"Exactly."
"Nine Dragon Lightning Gang Fire, Black Yellow Flame, and now Fallen Heart Flame. You lad have quite a few secrets on you..."
The Yellow Spring Demon Saint suddenly said.
"Just subdued a few more Heavenly Flames. Can't compare to Senior, using the true body to reflect the Dharma Body. The number of powerhouses who can achieve this level in the entire Dou Qi Continent probably doesn't exceed ten fingers."
Even for Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi, their Dharma Bodies were condensed with reference to their respective ancestor Dou Gods.
Although the power wasn't inferior to others, it wasn't their own true body after all.
The Yellow Spring Demon Saint laughed heartily.
"I see that in the near future, the Dou Qi Continent will have one more Dou Saint condensing a true body!"
Obviously, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint also saw the path Han Feng intended to take.
"In that case, I will hand over the method of condensing the true body to you as well."
The Yellow Spring Demon Saint tapped lightly, and a ball of yellow light flew into Han Feng's soul.
Han Feng did not resist. After accepting the soul light, a mass of information spread in his mind.
"Yellow Spring Finger", "Yellow Spring Palm", "Yellow Spring Heaven's Anger"!
The cultivation methods of three Heaven Class Dou Techniques were all taught to Han Feng.
Also, the method the Yellow Spring Demon Saint used to condense his true body back then was recorded therein.
Although it couldn't be copied blindly, using it for reference would benefit Han Feng endlessly.
"Thank you, Senior!"
Han Feng bowed solemnly.
The grace of passing on the Dao could not be forgotten.
The Yellow Spring Demon Saint nodded.
"My mission is to wait for someone who can pass my test, and then pass on what I have learned..."
"Since you appeared, my mission also ends here."
A ball of golden liquid emerged in the Yellow Spring Demon Saint's hand.
Han Feng's heart shook.
This was... the Yellow Spring Demon Saint's essence blood!
