As Wei Yang and Xiao Yan continued diving deeper into the Nine Serene Spring, the Heavenly Flames on their bodies surged wildly and burned with increasing intensity. But the deeper they went, the invading yin-cold force surged with an almost doubling intensity.

At this point, even Wei Yang had no choice but to go all out, circulating his Dou Qi to expel the chilling force that kept invading his body. He glanced at Xiao Yan beside him and asked through voice transmission, "How is it? Still holding on?"

"For now, yeah," Xiao Yan nodded slightly.

"But I have no idea how deep this Nine Serene Spring actually is. If this keeps going, I might have no choice but to head back up," Xiao Yan frowned as he gazed into the still pitch-black depths and replied through voice transmission.

After all, he needed to ensure he had enough Dou Qi to make a safe return. Besides, he couldn’t forget that this was still the territory of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan. He had to keep enough Dou Qi in reserve to deal with any sudden situations.

The chilling force in the depths of the Serene Spring seemed to possess a special corrosive, freezing effect on Dou Qi. Even his Heavenly Flames could not completely block it out. If he didn’t have Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yan would have found it extremely difficult to even reach this depth.

No wonder the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan had never stationed any guards at this so-called holy land. If ordinary Dou Shengs came here, facing this Serene Spring, diving deep would leave them completely helpless.

Thus, the clan simply decided to lie flat, neither guarding nor caring about it. After all, anyone who could sneak past the Underground Serene Snake Network and reach the Serene Spring would basically be at least a Dou Sheng.

Weak Dou Shengs could try diving however they wanted — they simply couldn’t go down. Strong ones... well, even if the Nine Serene Deep Ground Pythons wanted to stop them, they couldn’t. So they simply let fate decide.

Hiss hiss~

Hm?

Moving forward, both of them suddenly twitched their brows.

A faint strange sound drifted into their ears. Immediately after, they sensed the water behind them abruptly speeding up.

Bang!

Sensing this, Xiao Yan snapped around and punched fiercely behind him. Terrifying power rippled through the water in a strange manner, smashing heavily into a black shadow rushing toward them and blowing it apart on the spot.

Wei Yang halted and turned his head slightly: "You alright?"

"I’m fine," Xiao Yan shook his head. "Didn’t expect that something could survive inside the Nine Serene Spring."

Seeing the unknown creature reduced to a puddle of bloody mush, even Wei Yang’s eyes flickered with surprise. The yin-cold force here was unbearable even for them as Dou Shengs, let alone something living here?

Hiss hiss~

This thought had barely surfaced when the water around them suddenly grew violently turbulent. Within their field of vision, a massive swarm of black shadows surged toward them like a spreading cloud.

The two stared at the approaching darkness, and their expressions shifted slightly. It turned out that the countless shadows were made of large-headed serpents, their entire bodies pitch-black and covered in eerie scales!

As the swarm approached, their mouths emitted sharp, piercing hissing sounds.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Before they even got close, the strange serpents opened their sinister mouths.

Instantly, countless deep-black water arrows shot out toward Wei Yang and Xiao Yan. The moment these water arrows touched the surrounding spring water, the spring water automatically parted for them, giving them a clear path.

This caused their traveling speed to spike sharply, the howling tearing the surrounding water and producing low sonic booms.

"What a chilling energy!"

Both of them frowned at the countless incoming black water arrows. These water arrows contained the exact same yin-cold force as the Nine Serene Spring but were even more condensed and far more lethal.

"A strange place always breeds strange things," Xiao Yan muttered.

"The wonders of creation," Wei Yang shook his head lightly.

The sight before them inexplicably reminded them of the magma world beneath the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower in the Inner Academy of Jia Nan Academy. Both were extreme life-forbidden zones — one scorching hot, the other deathly cold.

At the bottom of that scorching magma world, there lived a species of lizard unknown to outsiders, and there were quite a number of them. At the bottom of the Nine Serene Spring, another group of strange serpents lived as well.

Was this the work of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint?

But now the situation was reversed. Back in the magma world, they had moved around like fish in water, with no worries about energy consumption. Yet here in the Serene Spring, they felt extremely uncomfortable.

"We can’t get tangled up with these things, or we’ll waste too much Dou Qi," Xiao Yan said, Dou Qi surging around him. "We need to finish this fast."

"Let me handle it. I’ve got plenty of experience dealing with mob-style battles."

Wei Yang moved as he spoke.

His speed suddenly skyrocketed, turning into a streak of black lightning as he tore through the water. He weaved through the oncoming water arrows with agile precision, rushing straight toward the swarm of strange serpents at a speed like roaring thunder.

Swish swish swish!

His speed had reached its absolute pinnacle. Even in the depths of the Serene Spring, that terrifying movement created blurred afterimages along his path. But the moment those afterimages appeared, they were instantly riddled with holes by the dense barrage of water arrows shooting at him.

Swish!

At last, Wei Yang reached the area just in front of the strange serpents. Here, the water arrows were so dense they could not be avoided. A dark sun’s silhouette appeared over Wei Yang’s body, pushing aside the spring water as it enveloped him completely.

Pupupupu!

Countless water arrows slammed onto the dark sun, pounding it and making it tremble violently.

"Feels good firing that much? It ends here." Wei Yang glanced coldly at the strange serpents and spoke with an indifferent tone.

Then—

Black Sun Cataclysm.

Boom!

A blazing dark sun erupted within the Serene Spring, blooming like a supernova exploding. The icy spring water instantly boiled and began to evaporate. Endless black rays shot out like piercing needles, tearing through space, reaching everywhere.

As far as the eye could see, centered on the exploding dark sun, everything within sight was covered by the countless black rays, forming an absolute domain.

Shuuuuu!

Wherever the black rays passed, the yin-cold force recoiled and the spring water evaporated. Deep within the Nine Serene Spring, a high-temperature domain was forcibly carved open.

Screech screech screech~

The countless strange serpents had nowhere to run and were instantly pierced through by the black rays. The terrifying heat burned them from the inside out in an instant, reducing them to ash.

In this land of extreme yin and cold, they were ironically destroyed by heat — one could only call it ironic.

"This move is still as ridiculous and overpowered as ever. The enemy can’t dodge it at all. All they can do is withstand it, and if they can’t, they die." At the outer edge of the domain, Xiao Yan’s body was shrouded in surging purple-brown flames that shielded him from the invading black rays.

He turned his head to avoid getting stabbed in the eyes by the rays, and couldn’t help but remark emotionally. He was extremely familiar with this technique, Black Sun Cataclysm.

But familiarity didn’t help. The move was basically unsolvable. Aside from tanking it head-on, there was no other method to deal with it. A pure universal move — and practically impossible to counter.

Of course, its best use was for large-scale, wide-area, indiscriminate coverage attacks like this. Its effect was similar to the Serene Spring itself: continuous, unending corrosion. Even if you could endure it, the energy consumption would be massive.

With a domain-type attack like this, Wei Yang never had to worry about facing groups. If you couldn’t withstand the piercing erosion of the black rays, your numbers didn’t matter to him at all. One second to wipe out a whole section.
