"receive!"

Zhang Yuan made a grabbing motion in mid-air, and ten Blood Marrow Returning Pills flew into a warm jade bottle that he had prepared beforehand, like swallows returning to their nests.

Only now does the entire canyon seem to break free from the frozen space and time.

The fierce battle between Tie Tang and Xuan Ming continued, but after Tie Tang broke free, he displayed his full power and gained the upper hand.

Yan Feng led his giant ape warriors, slaughtering the remaining Blackwater Serpent Clan members until they were scattered and their cries of agony filled the air.

All living beings were involuntarily drawn to the dark figure who put away the jade bottle, their gazes filled with boundless awe and longing.

Zhang Yuan's gaze swept across the battlefield, his voice calm yet undeniable, clearly reaching Yan Feng and Tie Tang's ears: "The pill is complete, divide it!"

With a flick of his wrist, four dark red and gold-patterned pills flew out of the jade bottle, carrying a blood-boiling spiritual light, and steadily flew towards Yan Feng, who was covered in blood but whose fighting spirit soared to the sky.

"Yanfeng, these four pills are given to your clan. Those with pure bloodlines and deep foundations should take them, as they can help them return to their original state and break through to the next level of enlightenment."

"Thank you, Master, for your divine grace!" Yan Feng trembled with excitement. He carefully took the four pills, which were like small suns, with his huge hands. He felt the terrifying power contained within them, and his joy was beyond words.

The remaining giant ape warriors behind him erupted in thunderous cheers, their gazes toward the elixir filled with piety and fervor.

Immediately afterwards, four more pills flew toward Tie Tang, who had just torn apart a large patch of Xuanming's scales with a single claw and forced him back.

"Elder Tietang, these four pills are given to the Iron Feather Eagle Clan. May they help your bloodline undergo rebirth and be reborn."

The giant demonic eagle that Tie Tang had transformed into let out a long cry that pierced through the clouds and split rocks, filled with excitement and gratitude: "Master Zhang's great kindness will be forever forgotten by the Iron Feather Eagle Clan!"

He transformed back into human form and solemnly accepted the elixir.

Feeling the pure and powerful energy within the elixir, which contained the potential to destroy life, he knew that it could not only free his clansmen from the bloodline curse, but also create true powerhouses!
Zhang Yuan put the last two pills back into the jade bottle and put them into his bosom.

Although this pill is useless to him, it is of considerable value and can be considered a form of hard currency in this prehistoric world.

"Quickly take the pill to break through and stabilize your realm. The bloodlust here has not yet dissipated, and a powerful enemy is about to arrive." Zhang Yuan's voice was tinged with solemnity, and his gaze swept like lightning towards the direction of the Sunken Sand River outside Black Wind Gorge.

He killed Xuan Yue, slaughtered the elite of the snake clan, seized their treasures, and used the blood and flesh of their elders to refine elixirs, making him utterly irreconcilable with the Blackwater Xuan Snake clan.

Having suffered such a great loss, the other side will surely come out in full force, and may even... attract an even more terrifying being.

It seemed to confirm his premonition.

At the edge of the canyon, Xuanming, the Blackwater Serpent Clan Chief, who was severely injured and covered in blood, let out a shrill and extremely venomous cry.

He stopped fighting Tie Tang and suddenly forced his opponent back. His huge snake tail slammed into the canyon wall, and a reverse scale suddenly shattered!

"With the blood of my ancestors, I call upon your true name! Spirits of my forefathers beneath the Nine Abyss!"

"The descendants of Chensha River are suffering annihilation! Our enemies have trampled on our clan's dignity, seized our most precious treasures, and slaughtered our people! We beg..."

"Nine-Headed Nether Serpent Venerable! Descend upon this realm, slay this fiend, and avenge our race—!!!"

As Xuanming roared like he was weeping blood, and the reverse scale containing his life essence shattered, a sinister, ancient, and terrifying aura, seemingly originating from the deepest part of the Netherworld, suddenly spread from the broken scale.

It transformed into a viscous, ink-like streak of blood-red light that pierced through the earth's veins, instantly disappearing into the depths of the land.

A chilling cold instantly enveloped the entire canyon, as if even the air itself had frozen.

Tie Tang, Yan Feng, and the others' expressions changed drastically. They sensed a terrifying will that was ten or even a hundred times stronger than Xuan Ming's, as if it were being awakened, traversing endless space and casting its cold gaze upon this place!
A storm is brewing!

The Blackwater Serpent clan went to great lengths to summon the true terrifying being at the source of their bloodline—the Nine-Headed Nether Serpent!
Zhang Yuan felt the chilling pressure that spread and froze his soul, but instead of being afraid, his eyes burned with an even more intense fighting spirit.

He slowly raised his hand, and the divine beast-shaped Void-Splitting Bone Spear, which had devoured the Blood Soul Tribulation Lightning, was wrapped in dark purple divine fire and dark red lightning patterns, and exuded a murderous aura, hummed and flew back into his palm.

His fingers tightened, gripping the cold spear shaft, feeling the violent power contained within and the aura of the tribulation lightning that had just been tempered. A cold smile curled at the corner of Zhang Yuan's lips as he gazed towards the direction of the Sunken Sand River. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a resolute determination to cut everything off:

"Nine-Headed Nether Serpents? Venerable-level beings? Very well... Perfect, I'll use you to test the sharpness of this spear!"

The bone spear points diagonally, its killing intent soaring to the heavens!
The entire Black Wind Gorge was once again shrouded in an atmosphere of solemnity and anticipation.

Before Zhang Yuan finished speaking, a resolute and fervent light blazed in Yan Feng and Tie Tang's eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yan Feng distributed three Blood Marrow Returning Pills, each containing dark red and gold patterns and chaotic lightning, to the two top half-saints of the Giant Ape Clan behind him, whose auras were the most serene and whose bloodlines were the purest.

Of these three clansmen, two were at the peak of their strength, and one was close to it.

Tie Tang also distributed the three pills to two peak half-saint experts of the Iron Feather Eagle Clan.

The two powerful figures who had just obtained the divine pills, under immense pressure, did not hesitate to stuff the Blood Marrow Rejuvenation Pills into their mouths. They had to push their power to the limit before the real storm arrived!
The elixir melts in your mouth!

"Roar--!!!"

In an instant, the rocky peak let out a roar that shook the canyon, as if a sleeping ancient beast had been fully awakened!

His already three-zhang-tall dark gold demonic body expanded again, and the dark gold light on his body surface was no longer overflowing, but burning fiercely like a real flame!

Behind it, a towering phantom of an ancient ape, even clearer and more ferocious than the pattern on the ancient stele in the Ancestral Ape Cave, suddenly appeared. The phantom roared to the sky, pounding its chest with its fists, as if it wanted to tear the sky apart!

The incomparably violent aura was like a flood breaking through a dam, instantly breaking through the bottleneck of the late stage of the Saint Realm and reaching the peak of the Saint Realm!
Even at that peak, he faintly touched the edge of the Venerable Realm, a realm of profound mystery and communication with the laws of heaven and earth!

The bloodline of the Mischievous Demon Ape was completely boiling and awakening within him!
On the other side, Tie Tang's body shone with a brilliant black-gold light, as if he had transformed into a black sun that was cutting through the void!

With each slight tremor of the massive iron wings behind him, tiny spatial cracks were left in the air, emitting a sharp "hissing" sound.

The bloodline shackles and chronic illnesses that had plagued the Iron Feather Eagle Clan for countless generations melted away like ice and snow under the overwhelming and unparalleled power of the elixir!
An even more ancient, sharper, and freer aura rose from his body, and his cultivation level soared, firmly standing at the peak of the first level of the Venerable Realm!

Demonic energy soared into the sky, stirring up the winds and clouds!
The other pill users were also instantly swept away by the immense medicinal power. One of the two top-tier semi-saints of the giant ape clan experienced a sudden surge in body size, with dark golden light flowing around him and his aura rising wildly, as he abruptly stepped into the initial stage of the Saint Realm!

The other one, though not yet at the breakthrough level, possessed a profound and solid aura, steadily hovering at the peak of the semi-saint realm, just one step away from the saint realm!
Two peak-level Half-Saints from the Ironfeather Eagle Clan, one of whom had his feathers standing on end and exuded a sharp aura, successfully broke through to the initial stage of the Saint Realm!

The auras of the other two also surged, reaching the peak of the Half-Saint realm, with their demonic energy surging and overflowing.

In just a few breaths, the Giant Ape Clan's strength surged, adding two new Saint Realm beginners and one new Half-Saint peak limit!
The Iron Feather Eagle Clan has gained one new Saint Realm beginner and two new Half-Saint Peak members!
All the warriors of both races who witnessed this scene were filled with excitement, and their morale soared to its peak!
"boom--"

This ecstasy and the boundless vitality brought about by the transformation were instantly frozen by a terrifying pressure that descended from the sky and was overwhelming!

"His-!!!"

A howl, seemingly emanating from the deepest depths of the netherworld, pierced through space, carrying a chilling, ancient, and tyrannical quality that could freeze the soul!

In the direction of Chensha River, the turbid river water roared up into the sky, forming a dark green water column that connected heaven and earth!

The sky was instantly shrouded in a thick, ink-like poisonous cloud, the sunlight disappeared, and the world fell into an eerie darkness.

Space groaned under the strain, and like a shattered mirror, a huge crack stretched across the sky!

From within the crevice, nine enormous, hideous serpent head phantoms slowly emerged!

Each snake head was covered with thick, dark blue-black scales, and its vertical pupils resembled nine pairs of pale green moons.

Icy.

ruthless.

Filled with the desire to destroy everything, he locked onto Black Wind Gorge, and locked onto the figures in the gorge who had just broken through and whose auras soared to the sky, especially Zhang Yuan, who was holding a bone spear and surrounded by chaotic aura!

A ferocious beast of the Venerable level.

The Nine-Headed Nether Serpent has descended in its true form!
Its aura was so strong that even Tie Tang, who had just broken through to the first level of the Venerable Realm and was at the peak of Chaos, felt a sense of palpitation and instinctive suppression!
The terrifying bloodline pressure of the primordial beasts has a natural suppressive effect on any non-divine beast!

High in the vast sky, the thick clouds were quietly parted by an invisible force.

Several figures with pure white wings on their backs and wearing light gold armor quietly appeared.

The leader of the Celestials, who had fought Zhang Yuan on the banks of the Sunken Sand River, coldly surveyed the devastating scene below with his golden pupils, a chilling and cruel calculation curving his lips.

"The Nine-Headed Nether Serpent... even the old monster beneath the Sunken Sand River has been forced out. Zhang Yuan, you really know how to cause trouble, and you certainly have some skill."

The leader of the Celestials' voice was devoid of warmth.

"However, before a true primordial beast, no matter how extraordinary your abilities, you will not escape death. Once you are both severely injured, the divine pill, the divine spear, and your body containing the mysteries of chaos... will all be in the hands of my Heavenly Palace!"

The eyes of the celestial beings behind him also gleamed with greed, like the most patient hunters, waiting for the best opportunity to reap the benefits.

Faced with this catastrophic disaster that was more than ten times stronger than Xuan Yue, Zhang Yuan showed no fear at all; instead, a soaring fighting spirit ignited in his eyes!
The divine beast-shaped Void-Splitting Bone Spear in his hand, which had devoured the Blood Soul Tribulation Lightning and was wrapped in dark purple divine fire and dark red lightning patterns, seemed to sense its master's will, emitting an excited and fierce buzzing sound. The point of dark light at the tip of the spear was so deep that it seemed to be able to devour light.

The Chaos God-Demon Body was pushed to its limit!
The dark golden chaotic divine patterns beneath his skin moved like living things, radiating an unparalleled power that was indestructible and reached the pinnacle of strength.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the "Golden Pearl of the Great Dao" spun wildly, radiating boundless chaotic light; the deductive power of the "Thirteen Arts of Destiny" was pushed to its peak, frantically analyzing the aura, power trajectory, and possible flaws of the Nine-Headed Nether Serpent.

The newly deduced and completed thirteen layers of great divine power of the "Burning Heaven Creation Scripture" are hidden in the flames in his palm. The newly comprehended "Mysterious Netherworld True Water Seal" is quietly condensing in his body. And the divine beast Sky-Splitting Spear that has just been tempered is the blade he uses to face the Venerable!

At the same time, a hidden yet incredibly tenacious force of will quietly merged into the surrounding world; it was the power of the Great Qin Heavenly Dao that he had already sown and was now being activated!
"war!"

Zhang Yuan's shout shook the heavens and instantly ignited the flames of war in everyone's hearts!
The demonic power of the peak-level Venerable Tie Tang erupted without reservation. With a flap of his wings, he tore through space and transformed into a dark golden light that could cut through everything, actively meeting the giant snake head that was protruding from the poisonous clouds!
The black iron claws, imbued with the power of a venerable being, fiercely clawed at those cold, vertical pupils!

At the same time, Li Xiao shouted: "Eagle Clan warriors, form ranks! Attack their flanks!"

Yan Feng roared, and the phantom of the Chaotic Demon Ape merged with his main body. The Xuanxing Zhenyue Staff stirred up the wind and clouds of the world, and with the force to destroy mountains, it smashed into another snake head that was biting at him!
Behind him, newly promoted Saint Realm beginner-level giant ape warriors and peak half-saint experts followed closely, forming a battle formation and fearlessly attacking the Nether Serpent's massive body and its outstretched claws!
The other Ironfeather Eagle Clan experts also formed a battle formation, and countless sharp feathered arrows rained down on the snake's weak points!
The war broke out instantly!

The Black Wind Canyon was rocked by earthquakes, energy storms raged, and the laws of nature were in chaos!

The nine-headed serpent moved all nine heads at once, sometimes spewing out dark green poison that corroded the void, sometimes opening its huge mouth to devour the sky, and sometimes swinging its mountain-like tail to sweep across!

Each attack contains the devastating power of a Venerable-level being!

Although Tie Tang's cultivation was no less than that of the Nether Serpent, his strength was suppressed by nearly 30% under the pressure of the opponent's terrifying beast bloodline originating from the primordial era!

His black iron claws gripped the snake's scales, but could only leave deep white marks, unable to break through its defenses. Instead, the impact of the snake's head caused his blood and qi to churn.

The attacks from Yan Feng and the others were like scratching an itch through a boot, barely managing to hold them off.

"Roar--"

Just as one of the Nether Serpent's main heads opened its massive maw, spewing out the "Nine Nether Profound Nether Breath," a hundred times more powerful than the previous Xuanming Breath, about to corrode and annihilate Tie Tang along with the eagle clan battle formation behind him—

Zhang Yuan made a move!

He took a step, and the void beneath his feet shattered like a mirror!
The power of the Chaos God-Demon Body exploded to its limit, ignoring spatial distance, and instantly appeared to the side of the main head that was spewing poisonous breath!
"Reptile! Prepare to die!"

He gripped the Divine Beast Sky-Splitting Bone Spear tightly in both hands, employing no fancy moves, only the purest, most concentrated, terrifying power containing the ultimate realm of force and the will to shatter the rules!
"Exterminate them!"

The bone spear transformed into a stream of destructive light, a mixture of pale white and dark red.

The spear tip gleamed with a dark light, carrying a will to tear everything apart and pierce through eternity. Ignoring the corrosive poison and the barrier of space, it stabbed fiercely into a relatively weak gap in the scales where the nine-headed serpent's head and neck met, reflected in the horrified vertical pupils of the nine-headed serpent!

“Pfft——!!!”

A deep, chilling tearing sound rang out! (End of Chapter)
