Chapter 887 Nine-Headed Abyssal Python (1/2)
Countless people looked up with frightened horror-stricken eyes.
As the black aura raged, Lu Xiao’s body gradually grew larger and larger, becoming a jet-black giant of several meters tall in just a few breaths. Cracks constantly spread along his body, but there was no blood, and only a chilling black aura could be seen circulating around his body.
Lu Xiao was like a demon of the abyss, and his presence made everybody’s hearts palpitate with fear.
The five grand elders in the air cast their eyes toward him.
Narrowing her eyes, Chi Jing said indifferently, “The nine-headed abyssal python...what a powerful move. Is the Heavenly Spirit Sect not afraid of destroying a good seedling by doing this?”
How could she not see that Lu Xiao had fused with the blood of the nine-headed abyssal python, a grade-7 Genesis beast comparable to an expert of the Nascent Source stage?
Although the integration with the blood of the nine-headed abyssal python was said to improve combat strength in a short period, it wasn’t a wise move in the long term because it would make it difficult to maintain the purity of one’s blood. This meant that at best Lu Xiao could progress to the Nascent Source stage and it was highly unlikely for him to reach the Law Domain stage.
Sect master Xuan Kun didn’t reveal a trace of anger or joy as he responded, “Elder Chi Jing must be kidding. I also don’t know where Lu Xiao obtained the blood of the nine-headed abyssal python. That boy is ambitious and competitive—in order to win the seat of chief pavilion master, he must have gambled his future on it.
“After this battle, I will severely reprimand him.”
Chi Jing simply chuckled. She naturally wouldn’t believe that this matter had nothing to do with sect master Xuan Kun, but this action wasn’t strictly against the rules. Even if she wanted to pursue the matter further, there was nothing she could do. After all, who made Xuan Kun so cruel as to let Lu Xiao take such a huge risk?
She also had similar Genesis beast blood in her hands, but she never mentioned this to Zhou Yuan because, in her view, Zhou Yuan’s future potential wouldn’t be lower than hers. Therefore, it would be a waste for him to abandon his future for just a chief pavilion master position.
Perhaps sect master Xuan Kun was certain that Lu Xiao’s future wouldn’t reach the potential of the Law Domain stage, so he was willing to let him take a gamble. After all, once one stepped into the Nascent Source stage, he could still be ranked at the top level of the world.
The Law Domain couldn’t be reached with just some talent.
If Mu Ni were to interfere, the other two grand elders would no doubt say something, and the situation would become more troublesome.
She had a gentle nature and, in truth, didn’t want to see Chi Jing and Xuan Kun argue and fight all the time. As for the chief pavilion master position, although the weight it had wasn’t light, it wouldn’t be a huge loss if they were to give it up.
Clan elder Mu Ni knew well that this competition had little significance. As long as Cang Yuan returned one day, even the Heavenly Spirit Sect, the White Clan and the Profound Crystal Clan would all need to put away their arrogance and not create any more trouble.
And if something were to happen to Cang Yuan...then, they alone wouldn’t be able to protect their status in the nine regions, which meant all their disputes would be meaningless.
As these thoughts flashed across Chi Jing’s mind, she shook her head inwardly and shifted her gaze to the mountain summit. From the looks of it, Lu Xiao seemed to have begun to occupy the dominant position in the chief pavilion master battle. After all, although the nine-headed abyssal python blood wasn’t considered the blood of a top-tier Genesis beast, it was enough to dominate a battle of the Divine Dwelling stage.
The little guy named Zhou Yuan was pitiful.
.....
Countless horrified eyes gathered on the mountain top. Lu Xiao was hovering in the air, a monstrous black aura flowing behind him. His eyes were black and vertically split, exuding a chilling aura that sent shivers down one’s spine.
Looking at Lu Xiao in this form, Zhou Yuan turned unusually serious. He was evidently aware of Lu Xiao’s strong and dangerous aura.
Lu Xiao’s dark vertical eyes stared fixedly at Zhao Yuan as a low hissing sound came from his mouth.
Chi!
His figure vanished instantly.
Zhou Yuan’s expression changed slightly, and he rapidly retreated.
Boom!
The void in front of him shattered just as he made a few steps. Lu Xiao’s tall and huge demon-like figure flashed out and threw a fist toward Zhou Yuan.
The punch, wrapped in black aura, blasted forward, suddenly bursting the void apart.
Zhou Yuan swiftly performed a hand seal with one hand. A sword pill violently vibrated, gathered sharp and fierce sword light, and slashed downward.
Rumble!
