Chapter 42: The Three-Headed Spirit Snake (Part 1)

  On the top of Taixuan Mountain, the six institutes' leaders joined forces to block the evil spirits, ghostly spirits and the dark lotus from the demon domain in mid-air, not giving them any chance to snatch the five-colored sacred orchid. Meanwhile, the eight disciples of the six institutes were chasing after the five-colored sacred orchid with all their might, trying to get it into their hands. Unfortunately, after several failed attempts, everyone realized that without breaking through the outer seal, they would not be able to obtain it.

  Because the seal was so powerful, everyone understood that it was impossible to break it, and they all had the idea of giving up. However, just as everyone gave up on snatching it, letting everything take its course, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky. The black shadow carried a strong bloody aura, instantly covering half of the sky, causing the bright Taixu Mountain to fall into darkness. As people looked up, countless screams and trembling sounds spread throughout the entire Songxian Ridge.

  In mid-air, the five-colored immortal orchid was dazzlingly radiant due to the sunlight. The six headmasters who were fighting heard everyone's cries of surprise and slightly raised their heads to look, instantly startling all six of them, stopping their attacks as they stared at the sky with changed expressions. At the same time, Hei Lian, Mo Xian, and Gui Xian also noticed the anomaly in the sky, and the three dark shadows gathered together, clearly shocked by this sudden appearance.

  What exactly appeared in the sky? Upon closer inspection, only a black shadow was seen above, with a length of hundreds of feet, and its body was still constantly extending. Three extremely large snake heads were like three giant mountains, six huge eyes flashing blood-red eerie light, very frightening. The entire snake body coiled in mid-air like an invisible black cloud, shocking to the extreme. Such a gigantic boundless creature, everyone had never seen before, so all people couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

  Li Changchun's face turned pale as he looked up, his voice trembling: "How is this possible? How can there be a three-headed spirit snake of such enormous size in the world? Generally, a three-headed spirit snake with a body over a hundred feet long would already be terrifying. But this three-headed spirit snake is actually hundreds of times larger than the legendary demon spirit! What's going on here?" His tone was filled with shock and amazement, clearly indicating that even as the head of the Tianjian Academy, he had never seen anything like it before. The other five heads were also shocked, their faces pale, obviously having never seen such a thing either.

  In the air, eight disciples of Liu Yuan shouted in unison, and in an instant, five people rapidly fell to the ground to avoid the demon spirit in the sky. The remaining three were precisely Ao Xue, Cang Yue, and Yun Feng. After taking a look at the resplendent Five-Colored Immortal Orchid, Yun Feng's face changed greatly as he said: "I didn't expect this Five-Colored Immortal Orchid to actually attract such a massive creature! It's truly unbelievable. Looking at it, this big thing isn't something humans can deal with; I'd better hurry and run away. Hehe, the two beautiful female masters should also leave quickly - this guy doesn't recognize what a beauty is!" After finishing speaking, his body instantly vanished, and in the next moment, he had already appeared beside Zi Yang True Person and Jing Yue Master.

  Just as Ao Xue and Cang Yue were about to dodge, a flash of light appeared nearby, and Lu Yun's figure gradually solidified beside them. Looking at the massive object in the sky, Lu Yun's face turned grave, and his divine sense began to fluctuate rapidly. In an instant, Lu Yun had confirmed what he wanted to confirm.

  Lu Yun glanced at the two people beside him and said, "Be careful, this big guy can't be killed with just one sword. In the world, such a strange object, I'm afraid that except for nature itself, no one can easily kill it. I've seen this thing before, but I didn't expect it to grow so big now, it's really unexpected. You two should go down and hide, that Five-Colored Immortal Orchid doesn't have much hope." As soon as he said this, Ao Xue and Cang Yue both had a slight change in their expressions, seemingly unable to believe that he had seen this thing before, how come no one knew about it?

  Ao Xue glanced at Lu Yun, and a hint of concern flashed in her eyes, but it was not obvious. Looking at the five-colored rainbow-colored orchid, Ao Xue said: "There is a very powerful seal on the outside of that magical orchid, just now Swordless Dust used the Tianling Divine Sword but couldn't break through that seal, I don't know if this huge three-headed spirit snake can obtain that orchid."

  Cang Yue said calmly, "It's hard to say, these three spiritual snakes are so large that they can swallow a mountain, let alone this small fairy orchid. If it were to exert its power, I'm afraid even the Taixuan Mountain would be destroyed. Let's go down together." After finishing speaking, she glanced at Lu Yun, her eyes filled with a hint of gentleness.

  At that moment, a loud and earth-shattering roar suddenly scared everyone. The ground was not shallow in the cultivation of the Tianjian Academy, and many people were injured by the roar on the spot, including several who died on the spot. The entire Taixuan Mountain was violently shaking in that roar, scaring countless people on the ground to scream loudly, with extremely tense expressions. The six palace masters in mid-air all shook their bodies, looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with extremely terrified colors.

  Li Changchun shouted loudly: "Hurry up and leave quickly with the door below, otherwise it's dangerous." After finishing speaking, his body instantly disappeared into thin air, and the other five people also flashed and appeared on the ground. And those three demons who came to snatch the Five-Colored Immortal Orchid also felt something was wrong, their bodies flashed, and they instantly vanished into thin air.

  In mid-air, when the deafening sound arrived, Lu Yun's entire body flashed with a cyan light, and a layer of mysterious cyan true energy quickly formed a protective shield around him, protecting Ao Xue and Cang Yue inside. The cyan true energy shield was violently fluctuating, clearly showing that the power of the deafening sound was extremely strong, not inferior to the attack of a super expert. Ao Xue and Cang Yue, who were inside the shield, felt a slight tremble in their bodies, although they were protected by the true energy shield, but still felt the shocking power of the deafening sound. Looking down at the ground, they saw that many disciples had been injured on the spot, and both of them showed a look of shock in their eyes.

  At the same time, looking at Lu Yun, both women did not speak, but their eyes contained the same emotions. Lu Yun glanced at the two and sighed softly: "Let's go, we'll also avoid it." After finishing speaking, his body quickly descended and soon arrived beside Xuan Yu Zhen Ren. At this moment, the powerful experts from Ru Yuan and Dao Yuan had all retreated, and the disciples of Tian Jian Yuan were rushing towards the front mountain. The entire Song Xian Ridge was left with only Yi Yuan, Pu Ti College, and Feng Huang Book Academy still having some people here.

  Xuan Yu looked at Lu Yun and said loudly, "Leave immediately! This thing is not a virtual soul body, but a real entity. In our current state, we are unable to deal with it. If we delay, this place may be destroyed by its hands."

  Yun Feng looked at the five-colored light flashing around the immortal orchid, a hint of regret in his eyes, and asked: "What about the immortal orchid? Are we going to let this demon spirit take it away from us without doing anything?"

  Xuan Yu Zhen Ren sighed softly and said, "If there's a way, the Tian Jian Yuan wouldn't have let go so easily. They must have known about this matter beforehand, but they didn't reveal anything, which already explains many things. Let's go, delay will bring changes." After finishing speaking, he led everyone to ride their swords with all their might and escape towards the front mountain.

  On the other side, the people from Bodhi Academy and Phoenix Academy had also retreated. The entire mountain of Songxian was left with only one person, Lu Yun, standing quietly there. Ao Xue and Cang Yue suddenly discovered that Lu Yun hadn't followed them and couldn't help but turn their heads back to look. Seeing him still standing in the same spot, Ao Xue loudly said to Xuan Yu and the others: "You all go first, I'll go call Lu Yun, he'll be right there." After finishing speaking, her body turned around, and with a flash of purple light, she instantly appeared beside Lu Yun. As soon as she stopped moving, Cang Yue also appeared on the other side, quietly looking at Lu Yun.

  Lu Yun glanced at the two women, his eyes filled with concern and deep affection. He said softly, "You two go first, don't worry about me. I'm thinking of a way to get that Five-Colored Divine Orchid. I can break through its outer seal, but the problem is that these three Spirit Snakes also have their sights set on it, making me a bit apprehensive. No good, it's moving, quick, dodge!" As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for the two women to respond, his hands grasped one each of theirs and instantly pulled them away to a distance of over a hundred feet, the speed so fast that it left both women startled.

  The sky suddenly changed. The three-headed spirit snake's body had stopped growing, and its entire body was like a huge dark cloud, blocking half of the sky. The three enormous snake heads shook simultaneously, their tens of meters long tongues darting in and out like lightning, emitting an eerie, ear-piercing sound. With a loud roar, the massive mouth opened wide, unleashing a powerful and strange howl towards Song Xian Ridge. Instantly, the entire ridge began to tremble, countless boulders shattered by the deafening sound, as if the earth itself was turning over, extremely terrifying. Lu Yun and Ao Xue, Cang Yue's bodies shook, their auras circulating rapidly as they used their internal energy to defend against the powerful air wave.

  In mid-air, the five-colored fairy orchid was still spinning non-stop, but its dazzling brilliance had dimmed considerably, perhaps because the sun was blocked. Above, one of the three-headed spirit snake's heads on the left slightly shook twice, opened its mouth wide, and a fierce flame suddenly shot out towards the five-colored fairy orchid. From afar, it looked like a thirty-zhang-diameter crimson light pillar descended from the sky, instantly enveloping the five-colored fairy orchid in its center. This crimson light pillar, in the dim light, flickered with an eerie glow, extremely dazzling to behold.

  A fierce flame pierced through the five-colored immortal orchid, shooting onto the mountain of sending immortals. In an instant, a brilliant red light burst forth, and the entire mountain seemed to be engulfed in a sea of fire. Everything was set ablaze in an instant. The originally lush green grass and trees vanished without a trace, reduced to ashes by the intense flames. The power was so overwhelming that Lu Yun and the other two hiding not far away were shocked to their cores. The strength of these three serpent spirits was too overbearing, truly not something humans could contend with.

  In the air, the five-colored immortal orchid enveloped in fierce flames suddenly flourished with a brilliant five-colored light. A powerful spiritual energy spread across the land in an instant. The five petals of the flower flickered with a five-colored glow, constantly resisting the fierce flames from the mouths of the three spirit snakes. However, these flames were not ordinary fire, but rather the Nine Heavens Profound Fire that the three spirit snakes had cultivated over thousands of years based on their innate nature, capable of melting everything in the world.

  The five-colored immortal orchid burst forth with radiant splendor, its five different colors forming five beams of light in the sky that rotated ceaselessly. The five strange lights grew stronger with each rotation, fully countering the three-headed spirit snake's Nine Heavens Dark Fire.
