At that moment, from the depths of the Divine Pool, a series of explosive blasts suddenly erupted. The entire pool trembled uncontrollably, as if it were about to collapse and shatter.
The Explosion Runes
Though these Explosion Runes couldn't destroy the pool itself, the commotion was considerable—boom, boom, boom, a fierce series of detonations.
Finally, the Dragon Path Realm Thunder Fire Wing Snake King could no longer remain passive. Such a massive disturbance—did someone intend to dismantle its Divine Pool?
Whoosh!
The Thunder Fire Wing Snake King soared into the air, transforming into a streak of light in an instant. It needed to see what was happening at the bottom of the pool.
Seeing the Thunder Fire Wing Snake King streak away, Nie Li and
Now was the time! They didn't have much!
Nie Li and Li Xingyun entered the Divine Pool. Upon discovering intruders, the remaining Thunder Fire Wing Snakes flapped their wings and lunged at them.
"Kill!" Li Xingyun commanded in a low voice, leading all his subordinates forward.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A chaotic battle erupted.
Li Xingyun and his five hundred plus men began besieging the Thunder Fire Wing Snakes.
"Brother Nie Li, we'll hold them off! You go in quickly!"
"Got it." Nie Li nodded. His body instantly merged with the Saint Blood Wing Flood Dragon, and he flapped his wings, diving down.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Nie Li collided with several Thunder Fire Wing Snakes, producing a few heavy thuds. However, relying on his powerful physical body, he forced his way through.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several bolts of thunder-fire struck Nie Li, but the Saint Blood Wing Flood Dragon's physique possessed strong resistance to fire-based attacks, so Nie Li wasn't seriously harmed.
Three Celestial Star-level Thunder Fire Wing Snakes surrounded Nie Li, trying to block his path. But Li Xingyun and the others quickly caught up.
Sword light flashed.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Blood sprayed. The three Thunder Fire Wing Snakes were cut in half, struggling as they plummeted from the sky.
Breaking through the siege, Nie Li landed in the Divine Pool and swiftly inscribed several runic patterns. These patterns descended and boomed into the pool.
Although the pool was scattered with many spirit stones and spirit stone essence, Nie Li didn't even glance at them, focusing solely on rapidly inscribing his runes.
Li Xingyun and his men were locked in a bitter fight, with subordinates falling from time to time, though many Thunder Fire Wing Snakes were also slain.
Just as Li Xingyun and his forces struggled, another massive Thunder Fire Wing Snake appeared in the distance—it was the Dragon Path Realm Thunder Fire Wing Snake King. Having discovered the explosion at the bottom was merely a few blasts, it swiftly returned, only to find Li Xingyun and the others attacking the pool. Rage instantly boiled over.
The Thunder Fire Wing Snake King, shrouded in rolling thunder-fire, dove down. The scorching flames seemed capable of melting everything.
Unexpectedly, the Thunder Fire Wing Snake King returned so soon. Li Xingyun and the others' faces changed drastically.
"Together! Block it!" Li Xingyun shouted.
As soon as his voice faded—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One after another, figures charged toward the Thunder Fire Wing Snake King.
The Thunder Fire Wing Snake King hissed, flicking its red tongue, then lashed out with its tail.
Dozens of figures were struck by the snake king's tail. They instantly exploded, turning to fragments. Reduced to ash by the flames. Among them, several were even at the Celestial Star level.
A Dragon Path Realm Thunder Fire Wing Snake's power had reached an unimaginable degree.
Yet even more people surged forward against the snake king.
While Li Xingyun and the others fought fiercely overhead, Nie Li continued to inscribe runes, his expression utterly focused.
Pattern after pattern descended, slowly forming a massive runic array at the pool's bottom. It began to emit a dazzling, brilliant light.
Sensing something, the Thunder Fire Wing Snake King roared in fury and dove downward.
Li Xingyun's expression grew solemn. They absolutely could not let the Thunder Fire Wing Snake King reach Nie Li; otherwise, everything they'd done would be in vain.
"Together!" Li Xingyun bellowed. Leading everyone remaining, he charged at the Thunder Fire Wing Snake King.
Li Xingyun let out a sudden shout, merging with a Divine-growth Dragon Blood Demon Spirit. The others also merged with their demon spirits.
The Thunder Fire Wing Snake King roared in fury, opening its mouth to spew a sky of flames. The surroundings turned into an inferno. Instantly, hundreds of people were turned to charcoal. At the same time, it spat a stream of fire toward Nie Li.
Li Xingyun, transformed into the Crimson Blood Golden Flood Dragon, swung his sharp claws and slapped the flame stream apart. However, his massive paw was scorched black.
