Chapter 1559: Powerful Teamwork
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
They had just broken the jade door open, and did not even have a chance to rejoice for what they saw shocked them all silly.
The creature thagt lurked behind the door was at least a hundred meters tall!
Now what would a hundred meters be like? That would be the height of a 30-storey building!
What was more mind-boggling was that the hundred meters was only the upper half of the creature’s body! Its entire body was a mind-boggling 300 meters in length!
Everyone, including the seven leaders, felt puny before this giant, towering creature.
They were so overwhelmed by fear that none of them could move a muscle.
These cowards were all shaking and their knees turned into jelly, drenched in cold sweat as if they were running a high fever. They also felt sick to their stomach.
“What… what the hell is this thing…” Feng Buchun exclaimed in a shaky voice as if he had just seen a ghost.
“Roar!!!”
The pillar of a creature suddenly leaned down, and thundered into the faces of the people.
Thanks to the light of the oil lamps, they were able to see very clearly a creature, one that they would never forget for the rest of their entire lives.
It was a behemoth of a black snake!
It was rearing up while standing at 100 meters which made up half of its body, and the rest was coiled into a dark mass of a hill beneath it.
Its head itself was as big as a car. It’s cold blue eyes stared into the souls of each person, raising the hairs on their backs, and sending paralyzing chills down their spine.
The giant reptile’s body was as thick as the trunk of a giant redwood tree, and each of the scales lining its body was as thick as an adult’s palm.
The people standing before this creature were the cream of the Jianghu crop with up to a hundred years of Jianghu experience under their belts. But never had they in their lives, ever seen such a frightening giant snake such as this one! Heck, they had never even heard of anything like this!
“Look, its scales are the size of our hands.” Zhou Daoxian frowned. “Could this be the legendary Yamata no Orochi?”
“Roaaaaaaar!!!”
The giant snake roared in protest, but the people did not understand what it was trying to say. Among all of them, only Chen Xiaobei understood it’s meaning.
The giant snake was telling them that it was not some ‘Yamata no Orochi’, but rather a Blackwater Mystical Snake!
The Yamata no Orochi was a made-up name from Japanese Legends. Japan in turn, was a country made up of people that Xu Fu brought over from China.
That was to say that before the Blackwater Mystical Snake was inducted into the literature of Japan, it was already in existence. The Yamata no Orochi was just something the Japanese made up, a nickname of sorts.
“Shit!” Zhou Daoxian suddenly shouted. “Retreat! Everyone! Retreat!”
The leaders were quick to react and were equally quick in retreating.
On their way backwards, they even dragged their people along with them.
In a blink of an eye, the Blackwater Mystical Snake had already made its way on them, its giant mouth gaping open which snapped down hard on the people.
Although the leaders were fast, there were still quite a few people left behind who were not as fast and were unable to outrun the virulent serpent.
The snake had bitten down on five people in one go, chomping down hard which it then swallowed the top half of their severed bodies, leaving the other half falling to the ground.
Other than those who were consumed, eight other people were also squashed under the weight of the snake as it quickly slid across the ground and pinning them swiftly.
“My god!” Feng Buchun squealed like a pig in a slaughterhouse. He felt as if his heart was going to explode.
The thirteen people who were killed were all core disciples and elders of top-tier ancient factions! They were either Celestial or Ethereal Cultivation elites!
Even they did not stand a chance against the behemoth of a creature!
The Blackwater Mystical Snake’s was incredibly strong and had overwhelmed everyone with its sheer might and size!
“Withdraw! Other than the demigods, everyone else retreat at least 300 meters! Leave now!” Zhou Daoxian shouted above the panicked shouts and screams.
The core disciples and elders ran for their lives.
Zhou Daoxian was publicly recognized as the strongest elite on Earth.
When the hundreds of people saw that even Zhou Daoxian was so scared, none of them dared to stay back and fight.
They ran towards where they came from as fast as their legs could carry them.
Long Zishan did not dare take the risk either. “Let’s leave too!”
“Faction Leader Long! You have to stay back and help us!” Zhou Daoxian said. “All of us came here to explore the mausoleum! If you don’t help out, you have no right to be part of the rest of the expedition!”
Long Zishan frowned. She looked around and saw that Wolf Emperor, Dio had stayed.
Clearly, if they did not help fight the Blackwater Mystical Snake, the Anti-Bei Alliance would not allow Long Zishan and Dio to have a share of the fruits.
“Alright! I won’t leave!” Long Zishan nodded, and then turned to Liu Xuanxin. “You should all retreat! If anything happens, just scream as loud as you can. I will come help you immediately!”
“Okay. Sifu, you have to be careful!” Liu Xuanxin nodded and ran without another word. Under dire circumstances such as this one, they could not afford to waste a single second.
The seven Anti-Bei Alliance leaders, joined by Long Zishan and Theodore, made up the nine demigod ranked Superelites in total. All of them had their weapons drawn. With Ethereal Force at the ready, they were standing in a battle line, and was ready to fight the Blackwater Mystical Snake head on.
Before Xu Fu built the mausoleum, the Blackwater Mystical Snake had already reached demigod cultivation.
During these thousands of years, while the viper hibernated in the underground palace, its cultivation still increased bit by bit.
Combined with its natural talent, its cultivation alone was enough to make all nine powerful leaders to go all out to take it on.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Early phase of God Ascension; Lifespan: 1,029 years; Health: 650,000; Combat power: 650,000]
As the fight was about the begin, Chen Xiaobei used his Netherspirit Battlescouter to scan everyone.
According to the Battlescouter, the strongest of the nine leaders, Zhou Daoxian, had 650,000 combat power.
Long Zishan was close behind with 630,000.
Blood Emperor, Sequinn, and Wolf Emperor, Dio, came in third with 600,000 combat power.
Ding Xiadong, Xu Shiqiu, and Feng Aotian on the other hand, had a similar 550,000 combat power each.
The weakest among them was Schudean and Betadalf, each posessing 500,000 combat power!
You could say that the nine of them were the strongest people on Earth at the moment.
Right now, they were working hand-in-hand to defeat this Blackwater Mystical Snake which had been asleep for thousands of years underground.
“What is the Blackwater Mystical Snake’s combat power?”
Chen Xiaobei turned to look at the viper, and used his Netherspirit Battlescouter to check its combat power.
