Chapter 441: The End

Evil Tiger was right. Among the Twelve High Priests, Wooden Snake was the most powerful, second only to the Nether Dragon.

Even when Han Yuan activated his Demon Whale Transformation and unleashed the full force of his Five Emperors Great Demon True Qi, he could only fight Wooden Snake to a standstill, unable to gain the upper hand.

Both fighters were going all out, unleashing one devastating technique after another.

After they had exchanged dozens of blows, Wooden Snake was the first to lose his composure.

He knew he couldn’t let this drag on!

Even though most of the Great Li Capital’s forces were preoccupied with the terrifying behemoth created from the Source Seed Shredded Meat, there had to be other masters guarding the Great Li Imperial Palace.

If reinforcements were to arrive, their situation would become dire!

He had to finish Han Yuan, and fast!

BAM!

The Wooden Staff in Wooden Snake’s hand suddenly changed its attack, thrusting forward with an eerie swiftness. It was like a viper striking from its den—impossible to anticipate!

Han Yuan felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and was sent stumbling back several steps.

WHOOSH!

Immediately after, Wooden Snake vanished from his line of sight.

“Crazy Snake Dance…”

The next moment.

Wooden Snake’s voice rang out from all directions.

The voice was chilling and oily, like the hiss of a viper.

Han Yuan frowned, his eyes scanning his surroundings.

RUMBLE!

The ground of the Celestial Net Department began to heave like a rolling wave.

It felt as if some colossal creature were stirring beneath the surface.

Immediately after, dozens of massive, bluish-black pythons, woven from countless vines, erupted from the earth. They lunged at Han Yuan, jaws wide open, ready to tear him apart.

For a moment, Han Yuan felt as if he had been plunged into a pit of snakes.

“Fire Evil!”

Han Yuan roared to the heavens, his body erupting in crimson flames as he transformed into what looked like a Fire Demon.

Even his Heaven-Defying Saber was wreathed in Red Flame.

The falling rain evaporated before it could even touch him.

BOOM!

Han Yuan swung his saber, unleashing a crimson arc of light that instantly set one of the Tree Vine Pythons ablaze.

But in the next instant…

…a dozen more Tree Vine Pythons slammed into him.

Yet Han Yuan possessed an aura that was Unmoving as a Mountain. He stood firm against their assault, utterly unshaken. In fact, the harder they struck, the fiercer he fought. The Red Flame covering his body blazed like a massive furnace, its terrifying heat spreading out and igniting one Tree Vine Python after another.

Not far away, Wooden Snake’s figure reappeared. He frowned as he witnessed the scene.

‘I never expected his physical body to be this resilient.’

Then, he heard a furious roar.

It wasn’t just him; everyone in the Celestial Net Department heard it.

“Primordial Earth Shaking!”

The aura around Han Yuan transformed, exuding the deep, vast presence of the earth itself.

He raised his fist and slammed it into the ground!

BOOM!!!!

With him as the epicenter, the ground in a several-hundred-meter radius erupted in a series of violent explosions.

It was as if countless landmines buried deep underground had all been detonated at once.

This was the effect of Han Yuan’s Earth Evil Fist Force, which had seeped into the ground before detonating!

The vine pythons shrieked in agony as the force of the blasts tore through them, ripping their bodies to shreds.

SWISH!

Like a venomous snake, Wooden Snake silently closed in behind Han Yuan, bringing his Wooden Staff down hard on the back of his head!

Han Yuan’s Spiritual Mechanism screamed a warning.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he pushed his power to its absolute limit. His Qi and Blood Power erupted, forming the visage of the Five Elements Divine Mountain around him.

BAM!!!

The Wooden Staff struck the back of Han Yuan’s head, yet it only caused him to shudder slightly.

“Wooden Snake! You’re not as tough as you look!”

Han Yuan spun around, lashing out with an elbow.

WHOOSH!

Wooden Snake hastily dodged back.

Though his elbow strike missed, Han Yuan instantly completed his spin and lunged forward. His Heaven-Defying Saber shot out, a vicious streak of black light, like a ferocious black bird taking flight with its wings outstretched.

As he retreated, Wooden Snake saw the flash of the blade and immediately swung his Wooden Staff down to block.

Han Yuan’s eyes narrowed as he abruptly flicked the Heaven-Defying Saber upward!

SLICE!

Wooden Snake roared in pain as Han Yuan’s blade lopped off his entire arm, Wooden Staff and all.

In the same motion, Han Yuan twisted his wrist, redirecting the Heaven-Defying Saber toward Wooden Snake’s neck.

Wooden Snake bent back at an impossibly bizarre angle, somehow dodging the fatal blow.

The next instant!

The flesh and blood at the stump of Wooden Snake’s arm writhed wildly, and a new arm sprouted in its place.

“Die!”

Han Yuan didn’t pause for a second. Gripping the Heaven-Defying Saber with both hands, he brought it down in a powerful diagonal slash!

Wooden Snake’s expression had turned incredibly grim as he continuously struck out with both hands.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The two of them were fighting in a complete frenzy!

After dozens more exchanges, Wooden Snake formed his right hand into the shape of a serpent’s head and, striking from a bizarrely cunning angle, pierced straight through Han Yuan’s lower abdomen.

At the same time, the Heaven-Defying Saber viciously cleaved into Wooden Snake’s skull, splitting it halfway open!

Han Yuan released the hilt of his saber and drove a vicious punch straight at Wooden Snake!

Primordial Heaven-Burning!

BOOM!!!

Boundless Fire Evil Qi erupted outward, forming a gigantic wave of fire that spread like a tsunami.

Despite the pouring rain, the wave of fire set numerous buildings ablaze.

A massive, charred crater had formed at the epicenter of the blast.

Wooden Snake lay at the bottom of the crater, his body charred black and smoldering.

He gazed up at the Demon God-like figure of Han Yuan and sighed softly. “If I had known… I should have just killed you back then…”

“The truth is, Xie Zhang was never my opponent… I only fled to conceal the existence of the Source Seed Shredded Meat…”

“A pity… but there’s no going back.”

Han Yuan asked coolly, “Where is the Nautical Chart in the Celestial Net Department?”

Hearing this, Wooden Snake grinned. “Do you really think I’d tell you?”

“It doesn’t matter if you tell me or not…”
