Chapter 856 - 448: Torch Ancestral Court
[Spirit Beast Secret Realm], Corrosive Flame Mountain Range.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a vast space array appeared, encompassing a huge area. After subtle space fluctuations, the entire Corrosive Flame Mountain Range seemed to fall into eternal darkness.
Hiss!
Before long, a piercing hissing sound came from the depths of the Corrosive Flame Mountain Range. Peering through the darkness, one could faintly make out an astonishingly long Black Snake shooting up into the sky.
Sizzle!
Green Poison Flames continuously spilled from the surface of its body, causing the surrounding void to show clear signs of distortion, seemingly unable to withstand the burning of these flames.
This Black Snake was known as the [Poison Flame Black Python], and as one of the few Sixth Rank Exotic Beasts in the Spirit Beast Secret Realm, it had long been revered throughout the Corrosive Flame Mountain Range and its vast surrounding areas. However, today’s sudden change was clearly targeted at it.
Before the [Poison Flame Black Python] could continue eroding the Space Array with its vast Green Poison Flames in the Vault of Heaven, multiple figures suddenly streaked out from the periphery of the Corrosive Flame Mountain Range.
A One-Eyed Giant Fiend, Flame Giant, and an Abyss Demon with a spiral horn on its head – three Sixth Rank entities charged directly towards the [Poison Flame Black Python] above the Vault of Heaven.
Sensing the Life Breath of the three, which was no weaker than its own, the [Poison Flame Black Python] flicked its tongue rapidly. The next second, surges of Green Poison Flames erupted from its body, attempting to engulf the Flame Giant below.
As a Sixth Rank Exotic Beast, the [Poison Flame Black Python] was highly intelligent. It knew it stood no chance against three opponents and thus hoped to use its Green Poison Flames to delay the enemies as much as possible, while it attempted to break the Space Array above.
From the brief corrosion by the Green Poison Flames, it was clear that the array sealing this space wasn’t too strong; a few full-strength attacks might be enough to break through.
However, Song Chi, who was hiding in a corner of the enclosed space, would clearly not agree. With a single thought, the [Divine Binding Chains] components on his warship, Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, were activated.
Several bloodstained chains streaked out from the depths of the void, and before the [Poison Flame Black Python] could react, they were already tightly coiling around its body.
As the intense sizzling noise echoed again, the Poison Flame Black Python tried to corrode the chains with its innate Poison Flames. However, the chains tainted with unknown Divine Blood, and with a Divine Belief Master of the Starry Sea not weaker than the Poison Flame Black Python itself, wouldn’t be eroded easily.
In the time it took for this exchange, the Flame Giant and the others had already drawn close below.
The spread of Green Poison Flames was not weak in Might and carried a violent toxin; even a Sixth Rank Species would find it troublesome upon contact.
But the Flame Giant was different. Being a natural scion of flames, it had a strong command over Fire Attribute Energy and Laws. The innate Poison Flames of the Poison Flame Black Python, despite being somewhat special, were still within the scope of Fire Energy.
Therefore, the result was that the Flame Giant, with minimal sacrifice, led the One-Eyed Giant Fiend and the Abyss Demon through the layer of Green Poison Flames.
There was no need to elaborate on what happened next; even though the [Poison Flame Black Python] was an exotic serpent with formidable Combat Power, it stood no chance while restrained and attacked by three peers, especially with an Abyss Demon adept in mind manipulation. Before long, this overlord of the Spirit Beast Secret Realm was completely Enslaved by the Abyss Demon.
After the enslavement was completed, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong also voluntarily appeared from the void. Looking at the [Poison Flame Black Python], Song Chi nodded in satisfaction.
With it included, the number of Enslaved Species under the Abyss Devil Race’s command exceeded twenty, including ten Fifth Rank Heavenly Star Tribe members, ten Fifth Rank Exotic Beasts from the Spirit Beast Secret Realm, and now this Poison Flame Black Python.
His gaze swept over a red Component on one side, which was the one that had been used to lay down the Spatial Blockade. It was temporarily borrowed from Ru Zu by Song Chi for the purpose of enslaving Sixth Rank Exotic Beasts.
The [Starry Sky Monitor] on his grandfather’s flagship, the Furious Battle Mad Lion, after all, was only an Orange Component and not capable of sealing a Sixth Rank Exotic Beast.
“A cooldown time of ten days? Then I can only wait for ten days before returning…”
The Spirit Beast Secret Realm contained more than a handful of Sixth Rank Exotic Beasts; Song Chi naturally wouldn’t be satisfied with just one [Poison Flame Black Python].
However, things don’t always go as planned. What Song Chi was met with first was a summoning notice from his family.
The final battle was about to begin!
Taking advantage of the fleet’s assembly, he returned to Dragon Spine Continent for a brief time, re-borrowing the Tri-Eyed Spirit Control Ring to safely remove the red sealing component borrowed from Ru Zu and promptly returned it.
Having done this, Song Chi began to carefully consider the preparations he needed to make.
“The Great Battle is coming too fast. I only enslaved one Poison Flame Black Python. I didn’t anticipate that at all, but I hope it will be useful!”
“Besides, all components on Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong are now fully Buffered, and the Warship is in its peak condition. That’s nothing to worry about… It’s just on the Land side.”
Thinking, he quickly opened the Land communication channel.
At this moment, his grandparents, parents, uncles, and others were all there, including siblings such as Song Ting and Song Lin.
After using a strand of Purple Top Rank Upgrade Fire Source, Song Lin, with the accumulation of more than thirty years, had only recently officially advanced to the Cruiser level, which was indeed good news.
Song Chi naturally didn’t pay attention to this. After opening the communication channel, he quickly said:
“I have a number of Fourth Rank and Fifth Rank Level Enslaved Species here. If your Warships have the proper Enslavement Components to meet the conditions, you can come and take one of the Enslaved Species from me. This should enhance your safety in what comes next.”
