"Now the Blood Demon Vine is one of my trump cards too. If properly utilized, it should yield unexpected results," Lin Mo thought to himself.
Lin Mo had heard of Life Class Magic Treasures. On some Cultivation Planets, such life evolution type Magic Treasures abound. The Blood Demon Vine was not originally a Life Treasure, but the Blood Demon Vine King seems to have evolved and become a Life Treasure.
As long as a Life Treasure attaches itself to the body of its host, it will never betray the host. This is a Heavenly Dao iron law.
"Mr. Lin..."
The two flew in mid-air, with Lin Mo deep in thought, when he suddenly heard Zhen Yuanzi's voice and came back to reality.
"Look ahead," Zhen Yuanzi's voice carried a slight tremble.
Lin Mo looked up and saw a black iron chain, about five or six hundred meters away from them.
The black chain was roughly thicker than a skyscraper, emitting a dark mottled glow. Even from a distance, one could feel the chilling aura it exuded.
"What is this chain used for?" Lin Mo showed a slightly astonished expression.
From the glow reflected from such a large black chain, it was obvious it was not made from ordinary materials.
"Let's go over and have a look, stay alert," Lin Mo said, then quickly flew towards the black chain.
Zhen Yuanzi instantly transformed into a mass of black fog, rolling in the air, following Lin Mo as they approached the black chain.
As the two approached the black iron chain, a wave of cold energy swept towards them. Lin Mo immediately erected a Spiritual Energy Shield to withstand the cold energy emanating from the chain. This kind of cold was different from the usual chill encountered at snowy mountains.
The chill on snowy mountains affected the body, while the cold energy emitted from this black chain invaded the soul.
"What kind of materials were used to forge this gigantic iron chain, and who was the master behind its creation?" Zhen Yuanzi exclaimed.
Leaving aside how such a massive iron chain was made, the material alone was clearly no ordinary substance. The master capable of forging such a chain was obviously a being of great power with cultivation abilities reaching the heavens.
"Hmm, golden runes?"
A glint of light flashed in Lin Mo's eyes. Indeed, upon closer observation of the chain, some intricate patterns could be seen etched on it. Occasionally, a trace of black light shimmered, exuding a mysterious aura.
The cold energy capable of piercing the soul emitted by the thick black metallic chain was clearly due to these secret patterns on the chain.
Lin Mo, although astonished, was not as shocked as Zhen Yuanzi. Despite being at the Golden Core stage, Zhen Yuanzi had likely stayed on Earth since birth and had never ventured to other cultivation planets in the universe. Witnessing such a grand scene naturally made him surprised.
The black chain was as thick as a skyscraper, and the Sky-reaching Snake's body was even larger, comparable to half of Duwu Island. The black chain pierced through the snake's abdomen, confining it to the seabed.
"No wonder the legendary Divine Beast of Han Country was so weak; it had been trapped in the ocean depths for so long, with its strength dwindling," Lin Mo realized.
The Sky-reaching Snake had been trapped in chains at the ocean floor, so when fighting them, it must have broken through some kind of prohibition to appear, but unable to break the prohibition itself, causing the prohibition's power to erupt, and even Lin Mo was absorbed into the depths of this deep ocean.
"I wonder who locked this beast at the bottom of the ocean but didn't kill it."
Lin Mo pondered silently. Someone capable of forging such massive black Cold Iron Chains and able to bind the Sky-reaching Snake in this deep sea must surely be a Great Power, possessing such formidable strength yet not killing the Sky-reaching Snake, subjecting it to endless torment day and night. Who knows what this beast did to evoke the wrath of both people and gods alike.
Earth, it's truly too mysterious!
The Heavenly Sect, Demon Sect, Secret Realm, Spirit Veins, and some hidden forces of other countries have all emerged.
Lin Mo always had a vague feeling that Earth must have been glorious during the Cultivation era, and on this planet, there must exist a tremendous secret. However, all these thoughts are Lin Mo's conjectures as of now, without evidence to prove his suspicions.
"Mr. Lin," Zhen Yuanzi spoke.
"Kill this beast," Lin Mo's eyes shot out two sharp rays of light.
"Alright!"
Zhen Yuanzi's face showed excitement. The Sky-reaching Snake had already been decapitated by Lin Mo, plus now being bound at the ocean floor by the Iron Chain, it must be seriously injured. If not now, when else would be a better time to kill it?
The moment the words fell, Lin Mo and Zhen Yuanzi turned instantly into two streams of Flowing Light, rushing upwards.
Beneath is the tail of the Sky-reaching Snake, then its head must be above.
Flying upwards, after a moment, they indeed saw a triangular head quietly resting on the ground, with those massive eyes tightly shut, and the eyelids also covered in dark red scales, protecting the fragile eye area.
Two streams of bloody and scorching Flame Energy were sprayed from its nostrils, and suddenly, the snake's head opened its eyes widely, its cold gaze and dark green vertical pupils saw the two figures before it, and the Sky-reaching Snake let out a low angry roar.
"Awake!"
Three Thousand Light and Shadow Swords!
Lin Mo had long been prepared and immediately flew upwards. Thousands of golden streams of light appeared out of thin air, each golden glow radiating scorching light.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Each golden Light and Shadow Sword transformed into a blurry golden stream of light, moving and weaving like a school of golden fish typically seen in the azure ocean, aiming to kill the eyes of the Sky-reaching Snake.
Roar...
The Sky-reaching Snake roared in fury, opening its mouth to spray out black poison, and as the Light and Shadow Swords came into contact with this black poison, they turned into nothingness instantly.
Lin Mo formed a spell with his fingers, supporting his palms outward, and a series of golden Light Shields appeared in front of him, no less than seven Light Shields, each vaguely revealing a golden gleam with complex Secret Patterns.
However, when the poison splattered over, each Light Shield was almost powerless, being eroded and dissipated the moment they touched the black poison.
"Such strong toxicity."
While condensing seven Light Shields, Lin Mo swiftly retreated backwards.
"Beast, you seek death!"
Zhen Yuanzi formed a dark sword light in his hand, fiercely shooting towards the Sky-reaching Snake's ear.
The Sky-reaching Snake's attention had been focused on Lin Mo, and besides, with the Light and Shadow Swords attacking relentlessly, even though they were mostly eroded by the poison, the remaining swords still drew an arc in the air, striking its head.
The Light and Shadow Swords shot onto the dark red Scale Armor, scattering countless sparks and the sound of continuous hits echoed.
At this time, the black longsword in Zhen Yuanzi's hand took off, instantly transforming into a black beam shooting from the side towards the snake's ear.
Ears, nose, eyes, throat, all are the most fragile parts of a Fierce Beast, and the flesh spikes on the Sky-reaching Snake's sides of the ears, pierced by the black light, immediately penetrated, spraying blood...the thick and foul smell again permeated the air.
Hiss!
The Sky-reaching Snake had been pushed to the extreme by the two humans in front of it, its eyes blood red with rage, frantically attacking Lin Mo and Zhen Yuanzi. However, due to being restricted by the black chains, whenever it moved with great amplitude, its body would tug on the mysterious black chains at the ocean floor.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo observed the black chains. The Sky-reaching Snake couldn't break free from the black chains, leaving only a limited number of heads to attack them simultaneously.
Lin Mo retreated to a hundred meters away, now in a safe zone where the Sky-reaching Snake couldn't attack for the time being. "Xuanyuan Sword," Lin Mo summoned the Xuanyuan Sword, then reached out into the void, a black flame emerging in the palm of his hand.
The wonderful tale continues tomorrow.
