The serpent god's furious gaze fell upon Zhang Tian, and a wave of pressure washed over him. Without hesitation, Zhang Tian began to dodge around.
After all, Zhang Tian was a Grandmaster realm powerhouse. Using his Qing Gong, he could still run on vertical walls.
He could even glide for short distances, though sustained flight was still somewhat difficult.
"Whoosh."
As Zhang Tian ran, countless blade-like projectiles attacked him.
The projectiles came not only from behind Zhang Tian but also from the front. Zhang Tian could only rely on his experience to evade them.
"Slash."
Zhang Qilin's Black Gold Ancient Blade struck the serpent god's metallic body time and again. However, due to the heavy consumption of opening the Ghost Gate, Zhang Qilin's attacks were a bit subdued.
Seeing that his ranged attacks were ineffective against Zhang Tian, the serpent god didn't hesitate. Its massive head smashed down towards Zhang Tian.
Where its head landed, devastation ensued.
The walls collapsed, and the entire area where the ghost eye was located began to crumble.
"This is exactly what I wanted."
Seeing this, a slight smile curled on Zhang Tian's lips.
Meanwhile, at the scene.
"Holy cow, the Ghost Gate, the Gate of Hell?"
"Are they insane? Does the Underworld really exist?"
"Wait, is the rebellion my grandfather started true? Oh my god, my grave must be smoking!"
"This Ghost Gate is so cool, especially when Second Brother opened it. Damn, so handsome."
"Second Brother? Who's your Second Brother? You sure are good at claiming relatives."
"Do you think a female ghost might pop out of the gate? Heh heh."
"This serpent god is so vicious, so huge. Do such animals really exist in the world?"
"Ghosts have appeared, so a giant snake isn't too much to ask for, is it?"
"Ah, I only got one glance at the Queen's beautiful legs before they disappeared. Give me back my Queen!"
Countless people were discussing amidst the crowd.
Especially after seeing the colossal serpent god, the world was shocked.
This trial itself didn't have high viewership.
However, once countless things were broadcast, the viewership soared into the hundreds of millions.
At this moment, in the country of Fuji.
The internet in Fuji was in an even greater uproar.
"Holy cow, isn't this Orochimaru?"
"Lord Yamata, it must be Lord Yamata!"
"Baka! Lord Yamata is a female serpent, I saw that anime!"
"????"
"Baka, did you guys see? They're trying to rob our country's tombs, how shameless!"
"We demand they pay the price!"
"God help us, can an Onmyoji fight a celestial being?"
When this question appeared online, the citizens of Fuji were stunned.
Can an Onmyoji defeat a celestial being from Xia Country? The answer was a resounding yes.
No!
It was like comparing heaven and earth, no contest.
At this moment, the serpent god, provoked by Zhang Tian's taunts, began to pursue him madly.
"This is the place, smash it down quickly."
Zhang Tian looked at the spot in front of him, silently wishing.
As expected, the serpent god's massive head smashed directly towards the formation Zhang Tian had set up.
Almost instantly, the huge head landed on Zhang Tian's formation.
"Lin!"
Zhang Tian formed a hand seal, and in an instant, a light flashed.
Simultaneously, a circular formation enveloped the serpent god's head.
The serpent god had not expected another formation waiting for it here, and was stunned for a moment.
This was a newly learned formation by Zhang Tian, and its power was quite formidable. Once activated, countless soldier-like entities began to attack the serpent god's head.
The power was quite decent.
"Now is the time."
Looking at the serpent god's eyes, Zhang Tian called out softly.
Zhang Qilin gritted his teeth, his figure darting towards the serpent god like a phantom.
Due to his excessive consumption, Zhang Qilin was now pushing his remaining internal energy to its limits.
Meanwhile, as Zhang Qilin had diverted his other Zhenqi to deal with the serpent god, the Ghost Gate in the void above quietly closed.
The evil spirits were cleaved in half, unable to emerge again.
The serpent god was, of course, not a fool.
Upon realizing it was a formation, its single remaining eye emitted a light.
Zhang Tian's formation began to shatter inch by inch.
This happened in an instant.
"Holy crap, that snake eye is so powerful."
"Boss, this is a new formation, and Boss's strength has increased so much, yet it was still so easily broken."
Fatty exclaimed from the side.
Despite it happening in an instant, Zhang Qilin's figure had already reached the serpent god.
Duels between masters are never about hundreds or tens of rounds; victory or defeat often hangs in the balance of a single moment.
The Loulan Princess also swung her long spear, her powerful spear intent piercing through the serpent god's torso.
"Roar."
Enduring the pain, the serpent god let out an enraged roar. But the next second, just as it was about to fight back with all its might, a figure had already reached its colossal eye, tens of meters away.
"This is..."
Before the serpent god could react, Zhang Qilin's bottle was opened, and blood flowed into the serpent god's eye.
"Roar..."
With another roar, the serpent god's body began to tremble violently. At the same time, black smoke emanated from its eye.
"Thousands of years ago, a mysterious woman prophesied that a chosen one would end this. His blood could seal the serpent god. Now it seems the prophecy was about us."
Shirley Yang murmured softly.
Meanwhile, behind her, Hu Bayi blinked and woke up. He looked around and his hand landed on a book.
He saw the last page.
On that last page were some drawings. In them, a man leaped onto the serpent god and ended it all.
"This is the ending..."
Hu Bayi muttered. He touched his chest, finding that he was unharmed.
Outside.
As Shirley Yang, a descendant of the prophet, poured her blood into the serpent god's eye,
The serpent god's form dissolved into dust. In its eye, a palm-sized jade eye appeared in Zhang Qilin's hand.
"This is the key to the illusory space, the one on the Queen's neck!"
The Loulan Princess exclaimed, a hint of excitement in her voice.
"Here you go."
Zhang Qilin handed the jade eye to Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian accepted it without reservation.
The jade eye was beautiful, diamond-shaped, resembling an eye. Zhang Tian sensed a peculiar aura emanating from it.
"Item: Divine Eye! Top-tier magic artifact!"
"Item Ability: Contains a small world within, allowing entry and the ability to bring others into it, forming an illusory space!"
"Item Description: A treasure refined from the serpent god's eye, possessing potent demonic energy. Can be bound through a drop of blood!"
The description of the jade eye appeared in his mind.
Zhang Tian swallowed. As he had suspected, this was indeed something far more powerful than a storage ring.
A legendary small world.
However, what Zhang Tian hadn't expected was that this artifact was made from the serpent god's eye.
Zhang Tian looked at the jade eye. He hesitated for a moment, then dripped his blood onto it.
He had initially considered letting Zhang Qilin hold it, but then thought that if he forgot something, and considering the jade eye's immense value, the team would need it to store items.
So, Zhang Tian took it himself.
After dripping his blood, Zhang Tian felt a connection with the jade eye. However, he sensed something was not quite right.
"Why is the connection between the jade eye and me not deep? It feels like it's only half-connected."
Zhang Tian frowned slightly but didn't dwell on it. Thankfully, the item was obtained, and the serpent god was defeated.
Everyone was happy, wasn't that the case?
