Since the Serpent Spirit leaped over the Dragon Gate and transformed into a Flood Dragon at the Yi River, he had been very focused on cultivation and wouldn't show himself easily.
However, every time he appeared, he would always mention two words: Dragon Transformation.
I heard from the Serpent Spirit that Dragon Transformation corresponds to the Heavenly Master Realm of human cultivators, and the real Dragon Transformation corresponds to the Cloud Soaring Realm.
Previously, the Serpent Spirit was at the late stage of the Seal Realm, so this time, the Serpent Spirit would at most reach the Yang Spirit Realm. However, I was shocked when I saw the great momentum in front of me.
The Serpent Spirit was wrapped in red flames. From afar, he looked like a Divine Dragon bathing in the sun. If I didn't know the Serpent Spirit's current realm, I would have thought that he was undergoing the real process of Dragon Transformation.
The red flames provided sufficient light for the surroundings. Even without using the power of Absolute Sight, I could clearly see the countless black scales on the Spirit Snake's huge body that were being roasted by the raging flames. They opened up one by one, and the edges of the scales seemed to have been burnt. They were dyed in a golden-red color, causing the originally dark black body to look extremely majestic.
The Serpent Spirit's breakthrough this time was completely different from the last time when he transformed into a Flood Dragon. That was why I couldn't find any trace of it. I didn't know what kind of transformation it had undergone to be considered a success or a failure. However, looking at the Serpent Spirit that had suddenly become extraordinarily majestic, I was vaguely sure that the transformation in front of me wasn't a bad thing.
The only doubt I had was that although the Serpent Spirit had transformed into a Flood Dragon, its original body was still a Yin Soul.
At this time, the Yang energy in the red flames was extremely dense. I didn't know if it would harm its body.
Just as I was worrying, the snake spirit in the raging flames suddenly let out a resounding dragon roar. Soon after, the body of the snake spirit in the raging flames violently trembled, as though it wanted to break free from the restraints of the raging flames and escape.
It trembled greatly, but the flames seemed to have a sealing power. As it moved, the surrounding shape constantly changed, but it didn't seem like it was going to break free.
Looking at its movements, I didn't understand why the Serpent Spirit wanted to break free from the flames. The red flames were like a chick breaking out of its shell or a moth breaking out of its cocoon.
After pondering for a while, I suddenly realized that it was like a chick breaking out of its shell or a moth breaking out of its cocoon. At this moment, the red flames were like an eggshell or a cocoon wrapping around the spirit serpent. Although it had come from its body, it had become something that bound it.
It was very likely that the Serpent Spirit had already completed its breakthrough and was only waiting for it to break out of its shell.
After understanding this, I felt worried for the snake spirit. I hoped that he could succeed and wouldn't have to suffer too much.
However, things didn't progress as smoothly as I had expected. The Spirit Snake trembled several times, but no matter how big its movements were, the outer layer of flames was like a tight shirt on its body. It was extremely elastic and would only change shape with its movements, but there was no possibility of it tearing.
Gradually, I understood that the raging flames were incorporeal, just like gas. They were scattered between heaven and earth and could transform into an infinite number of shapes. How was it possible for the spirit snake to struggle free from them?
The Serpent Spirit tried to break free seven times. Each time, it struggled crazily. However, the result was the same. It was still trapped inside the fireball. The flames around it seemed to burn more vigorously because of its movements.
I was worried. I wanted to help it, but I didn't know what to do. I could only pray for it.
At this moment, it started to struggle for the eighth time. It was still the same violent trembling. However, this time, I could feel that it didn't struggle as crazily as before.
I was worried. Is the Serpent Spirit exhausted?
It shouldn't be. It had swallowed a lot of Ghost Generals. Even if it couldn't digest all of them, it should have digested a part of them. It should be the time when its power was at its peak. How could it be exhausted after just a short time?
While I was worried, the Serpent Spirit roared again. Its body shook for the ninth time.
This time, it was different from the previous eight times. It wasn't just one time. Its body continued to struggle crazily. It was as if it was hitting a leather drum with a drumstick. Each time, it exerted more force than the last. It seemed it would never stop.
I finally understood that the Serpent Spirit wasn't exhausted. It was accumulating power. This ninth attack would be the moment it would erupt with its full power.
As the Serpent Spirit continued to shake, the flames outside the fireball began to dance.
Gradually, sparks began to scatter around the fireball, falling from the sky. It looked like a meteor shower.
The entire scene was dazzling and solemn, as if it was some kind of ritual.
The fireball shook harder and harder. The Serpent Spirit inside seemed to have endless power. It didn't seem to want to stop.
Tong Tong, the fatty, and I gazed at the fireball. As we were worried about it, our breathing seemed to follow the rhythm of the fireball's shaking.
Eventually, the Serpent Spirit stopped after the fireball had shaken many times.
I didn't have time to worry as I heard a crisp sound. It was the sound of an egg breaking its shell. It came from the fireball.
It was obvious that the fireball had broken!
A crack appeared on the scorching fireball. The Serpent Spirit had completely stopped moving, but the crack continued to expand. Shortly after, the fireball swelled. There was a loud explosion, and countless flames shot up to the sky. The Serpent Spirit's body was completely submerged in the flames.
I couldn't see the Serpent Spirit's traces. I couldn't help but feel anxious. In a hurry, I used my Clear Sight power to look at the soaring flames.
The Clear Sight power had the power to see through illusions. It had always been successful, but today, it had hit a wall in the flames.
I used my Clear Sight power to look at the flames. I felt a scorching heat wave rolling toward me. I couldn't even open my eyes. Let alone the Serpent Spirit, I couldn't even see the soaring flames in front of me.
I hastily retracted my Insight power and the scorching heat wave finally dissipated. My eyes could finally see the flames from before.
However, at this moment, the soaring flames outlined an extremely huge shadow in the sky, almost completely enveloping the entire sky.
The phantom wasn't really bright in the flames, but I could still see it clearly. It was a giant creature!
It had a pair of wings on its back, a scaly body with a spine, a big and long head, a sharp mouth, a small nose, big eyes, high eyebrows, a protruding forehead, and a long tail … This phantom was like a God traveling the world. It hovered in the sky.
Ying Long!
These two words popped up in my head!
In the Classic of Mountains and Seas and other ancient books, there were many records about Ying Long.
It was said that in ancient times, when the Yellow Emperor had fought against Chiyou, he had borrowed the power of Ying Long to kill Chiyou and Kuafu.
In the era of Yu the Great, when the flood reached the sky, people were plunged into misery and suffering. Ying Long had swept the ground with his tail to guide the flood.
In the legends, Ying Long had the power to swallow the sky and destroy the earth. He could move mountains and fill the sea. Chiyou was a powerful expert, but he had died in the hands of Ying Long. From this, one could see how powerful Ying Long was in ancient times.
However, why would such a powerful Ancient Divine Beast appear here and now?
This place was the ancient battlefield where the Yellow Emperor had fought against Chiyou. Ying Long had killed Chiyou and this ancient battlefield. Could it be that the Serpent Spirit's breakthrough had stimulated the remnant Ying Long's will?
I made a wild guess in my head. Then, I lowered my head to look.
At this moment, the flames in the sky had weakened a little, but the Serpent Spirit hadn't appeared yet.
When the fireworks completely fell, there was a violent sound of something tearing through the air. Immediately afterward, the snake spirit's figure emerged from the remnants of the fireworks and suddenly flew into the air.
His body was still the same as before, but the countless scales on his body were all plated with a layer of gold.
After leaping into the air, he floated in midair, raised his huge head vertically, and let out a long, angry roar towards the boundless night sky.
As he moved, the Ying Long's phantom that had shrouded the entire world lifted its head and roared at the sky!
