Chapter 65: Through Heaven
"Don't worry, senior. I'll take good care of the little one," although shocked to the extreme, Xiao Gu was able to calm himself down with great willpower.
Fierce beasts of great strength, once their cultivation reaches a certain realm, can speak human language and even transform into human form. These fierce beasts are extremely powerful existences.
However, what shocked Xiao Gu was not these. On the savage island, no matter what kind of beast it is, they cannot speak human language. This was the news that Xiao Gu had received from others before, but now this nine-headed python can speak human language in its beast form, which is absolutely not an ordinary existence.
Then there's only one possibility, this is a true Ancient Mutant!
The only existence that has truly lived from ancient times to the present is the supreme being, and it is possible for it to be so powerful that it can even ignore the sealing power of the Barbaric Island.
This is truly a great calamity, an unparalleled existence, even Xiao Gu thought that this beast was already comparable to the middle-aged man and the undying war soul.
I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful existence here, which is completely different from the quasi-king I imagined before.
No matter what, with Xiao Guy around, this nine-headed snake was either friend or foe, which greatly relieved the tension for Xiao Gu and the others.
The little guy didn't show any fear at all, and at this time he jumped up and climbed along the body of the nine-headed snake to its head, making Xiao Gu and others break out in a cold sweat.
Brush, a majestic snake head like a mountain shook, Xiao Gu and others fell on the top of the nine-headed snake. The little guy jumped up and down beside Xiao Gu, chirping and chattering non-stop.
Xiao Gu didn't understand, but Jiu Tou She did.
"How dare you lay hands on the Dragon Prince, are you all tired of living? Humans," the nine huge heads of the Nine-Headed Snake roared in unison, as dozens of nearby cultivators burst into pieces one after another, their precious treasures exploding, causing countless people's hearts to shatter with fear.
It was just a roar, dozens of mountains collapsed, the smoke and dust that rose to the sky blocked many people's vision, but it could only flutter to the waist position of the nine-headed snake. It was really too huge, with mountain ranges being crushed under its body, and even trees grew on part of its torso.
This move, the ground cracked and the mountain shook. Xiaogu and others stood on the top of the nine-headed snake's head, looking down to see countless ferocious beasts roaring in terror, many cultivators were running around like headless flies, and many cultivators using forbidden artifacts were just a small ripple in the ocean, instantly submerged.
"This time, it's probably going to be the biggest loss in history," Xing Wuji chuckled and said.
"This time it's really a lot of deaths," Huang Tian said with a shocked expression.
Once every nine thousand years, a strong generation can enter, but there has never been an occasion when so many things have happened. Xiao Gu secretly estimated that this time, more than 70% of the strong who entered here fell, and as for how many will fall in the future, it's hard to say.
In the past, every time cultivators entered this place, they either killed each other or were devoured by ferocious beasts, but no more than half of the cultivators would die. However, this time, major events occurred one after another, and it was unknown how many cultivators had been drawn in and died.
At this time, the nine-headed snake went on a killing spree, swallowing an entire mountain range with one open mouth. The meager resistance of the many cultivators and fierce beasts could be almost ignored.
On a distant mountain peak, a figure in white stood out, her long hair fluttering, her delicate face, and her temperament was like the heavenly snow lotus. Her beautiful eyes seemed to pierce through time and space, looking at Xiao Gu and others on the top of Jiu Tou Snake's head.
This almost imperceptible figure was none other than Xue Wujiu, who had previously entered the ruins of the palace. Xiao Gu had been worried that Xue Wujiu might get trapped inside, but it seemed he had been overthinking things.
At the same time, in another void, an old man activated a forbidden device and another man who looked like a god king protected him. These two were actually Sheng Tian Wang and Yao Huang Dian's elder powerhouses.
The forbidden device was extremely powerful, and at this moment, it was actually hiding in the void. The victorious Tianwang coldly looked at Xiao Gu on top of the nine-headed snake's head, with no hint of concealment of the killing intent in his eyes.
In all directions, there were actually not a few people who could escape, of course this was also because the nine-headed snake did not pursue and kill them to the end.
Xiao Gu stood on the head of the nine-headed snake, with a somewhat domineering air. Many cultivators saw Xiao Gu standing on the snake's head, but no one dared to have any other thoughts. The nine-headed snake gently swayed its body, and it was unknown how many powerful beings had been crushed to death by it.
Xiao Gu's mind was clear and refreshing, with a breath of air stuck in his chest that he couldn't exhale or inhale. Suddenly, his spirit surged and he let out a loud roar.
Like a dragon's roar and a tiger's howl, the hiss shocked the nine-headed snake. After a loud roar, Xiao Gu seemed to have broken through something, his spirit was refreshed, his mind was clear, and his majestic aura burst forth, with purple energy surging around him, making Xiao Gu look like an emperor from the ninth heaven.
Have they actually entered the seventh level of Nirvana? Xing Wuji and others looked at each other in dismay, Xiao Gu's breakthrough was too rapid, leaving them all with a sense of powerlessness.
Although they had also broken through to such a realm not long ago, Xiao Gu was a latecomer and was two or three realms behind them at that time. Yet now he had caught up so quickly.
Of course, being able to break through so quickly, the experience of this period is indispensable. If one still can't hurry up after having an epiphany between life and death, then there's nothing more to say.
The shocking momentum stunned many people, especially those who refused to give up. Xiao Gu's breakthrough was absolutely not good news for them.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Gu's breakthrough this time didn't take too long, just half a cup of tea's worth of effort, and Xiao Gu had retracted his aura. At this point, Xiao Gu looked even more like an ordinary person.
A slender figure, with a hint of melancholy and a scholarly air, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, looking harmless.
The nine-headed snake went berserk, wreaking havoc for half a day. Within a radius of thousands of miles, everything was in ruins. Large and small mountains, forests, gullies, and ravines were all scorched, with charred corpses and scattered flesh and blood everywhere.
Xiao Gu and others walked on this almost scorched earth, inhaling the cool air. The nine-headed snake only spat out a mouthful of flames, yet suffered such a great disaster, unimaginable.
The little guy followed Xiao Gu's side very excitedly. From the nine-headed snake, they got a definite message about how to leave this place.
The forty-ninth Heavenly Pillar was shattered, leaving a small gap in the sealed land. This was an opportunity for everyone to leave this place. However, even with only forty-eight Heavenly Pillars remaining, the sealing power was still earth-shattering. Time was running out for everyone, and if they couldn't escape, Xiaogu and the others might be trapped here forever.
However, at the suggestion that everyone go look for cracks immediately, old Wang Ba suddenly opened his mouth with a contemptuous tone.
"What do you want to say, old Wang Ba?" Xiao Gu's sharp intuition picked up on old Wang Ba's disdain. As for this guy, Xiao Gu was still relatively familiar with him. Since he said so, old Wang Ba must have had other plans.
"Shut up, kid, your turtle grandpa didn't say anything," Old Wang Ba retreated with his head down and ignored Xiao Gu.
"My day!" Xiao Gu rarely blurted out a swear word.
In the end, several people discussed and decided to continue searching for cracks. After all, having one more way out is good. The crowd dispersed in all directions, deeply searching the four sides of the island. According to the nine-headed snake's words, within half a year at most, the crack would disappear.
In a fiery red maple forest, Xiao Gu and Lao Wang Ba, along with the little guy and a black shadow, were discussing something in hushed tones. It had been over a dozen days since they parted ways. Every day, Xiao Gu would either cultivate or search for various heavenly treasures and earthly gems, all of which were swallowed by the little guy and Lao Wang Ba.
"What, you said you just remembered that your previous name was Tongtian?" Old Wang Ba jumped up on Xiao Gu's shoulder suddenly and, not having grabbed onto his clothes carefully, fell to the ground with a thud.
It wasn't just him, Xiao Gu was also stunned on the spot.
"Alas! That is one of the Three Pure Ones, a legendary figure known for his unparalleled ferocity. The Four Swords of Exterminating Immortals were enough to slay immortals and destroy gods, and countless deities fell at his hands. He was the strongest killer in ancient legend."
Now, Yu Ying unexpectedly said his own name was Tong Tian, Xiao Gu immediately petrified!
