"what?"
After releasing Yu Ying's waist, Zhao Mu's gaze remained fixed on the mountain peak covered with towering trees.
The fireball just now was extraordinary; the quality of its flames was comparable to that of a Leg Demon who had completed the second stage of the Flame God's Third Transformation. This was almost second only to the ultimate flame.
If he hadn't mastered the Phoenix True Flame, he wouldn't have been extinguishing the flames, but rather taking off his clothes.
Rumble~
Click~
After a violent earthquake that uprooted and crushed large swathes of trees, the creature hidden inside the mountain finally revealed its true form.
It was a huge head, as big as a house.
A large amount of dirt was still falling off their heads, clearly indicating that, as they had expected, they were lying dormant underground.
"what is this?"
Zhao Mu felt that he was ignorant, because he had never seen such a strange monster before.
That head was neither snake nor dragon nor jiao, a complete hybrid of the two.
"I do not know either."
Yu Ying shook her head; she also didn't recognize what the monster was.
Rumble~
Just then, another tremor arose, and to Zhao Mu and Yu Ying's astonishment, several more heads slowly rose up.
One, two... nine.
There were a total of nine heads.
"Xiang Liu? Jiu Yin?"
The two names came to Zhao Mu's mind, but they looked somewhat different.
"Nine Heavens Star Python, this is an ancient ferocious beast."
Yu Ying's voice came from beside her ear. Clearly, she recognized this guy after he revealed his true face.
"Zhao Mu, be careful. In ancient times, the Nine Heavens Star Python was one of the most powerful ferocious beasts. It is said that the Nine Heavens Star Python even fed on dragons and phoenixes, but because its population was too small, it was not well-known."
Yu Ying's eyes were full of vigilance.
Although she didn't know, the records in the clan's books must be true.
However, she only knew its name; she didn't know what kind of ferocious beast it was or what methods it used, because there were very few records about it.
"Ok!"
Zhao Mu's expression was serious. It was clear that, because they were in the Langhuan Secret Realm, this Nine Heavens Star Python, which might have been dormant since ancient times, was still restricted by the minor rules of the secret realm.
Peak of the seventh rank.
However, his original strength was very likely far beyond the seventh rank.
Therefore, even when suppressed, its oppressive feeling far exceeds that of those seventh-tier peak cultivators killed in the Lake of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Chichi~
Its enormous mouth flicked out its tongue, which, unlike the two forks of a snake, was nine-forked, and even the tip of its tongue had flames flickering, a power second only to the ultimate fire.
Yu Ying was unusually vigilant.
She doesn't possess any ultimate fire techniques; if she were to be tainted by such flames, it would be extremely troublesome.
Rub~
Without saying a word, Zhao Mu took action and reminded Yu Ying to find the location of the Heavenly Void Cauldron first.
However, just as Yu Ying was preparing to dodge from the side, a huge tail swept across, forcing her to react hastily. Not only that, a ball of dark blue ice shot towards her, its extreme cold chilling her to the bone.
"This is......"
Yu Ying narrowly avoided the ice ball, her gaze landing on the second head of the Nine Heavens Star Python, quite surprised. "Second only to the ultimate ice attribute, could it be... that it has mastered the power of nine attributes?!"
This guess shocked her, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
While multi-attribute cultivation can make one stand out among those of the same level, even overwhelming others, few people choose it because it is too energy-consuming.
Trying to do too much at once will lead to failure. Apart from a few special individuals, most people only cultivate a single attribute.
Moreover, even when cultivating multiple attributes, she had never heard of a being cultivating nine attributes simultaneously; that was simply too abnormal.
"Some races that are naturally favored by the Heavenly Dao are truly outrageous."
Yu Ying couldn't help but sigh. Apart from its innate talent, she couldn't think of any other reason why the Nine Heavens Star Python could cultivate nine attributes at the same time.
"We can't leave. We have to deal with this guy first!"
Forced back, Yu Ying frowned slightly and stood shoulder to shoulder with Zhao Mu, completely abandoning her plan to have him hold off the Nine Heavens Star Python while she went to find the Heavenly Void Cauldron, because without dealing with the Nine Heavens Star Python, there was no way to get around it.
"It's going to be quite troublesome to deal with this thing!"
Zhao Mu frowned. Not only was this Nine Heavens Star Python enormous, it hadn't lost any of its agility. Its nine heads were like nine flexible arms. When he tried to use his speed and agility to beat it up, he was surprised to find that he didn't seem to have much of an advantage at all.
Da Da Da~
Running on the massive scales, Zhao Mu tried to pierce the creature's defenses with his heavy spear while constantly guarding against the biting and dual attacks of ice and fire from the other heads.
But the result was disappointing.
The heavy spear, which was almost of the highest quality, could not even pierce the leather armor of the Nine Heavens Star Python.
Clearly, he was right. This ferocious beast was far beyond the peak of the seventh rank, and trying to break through its defenses was nothing short of a pipe dream.
"Now we're in trouble!"
Seeing that Yu Ying was also unable to break through the Nine Heavens Star Python's defense, Zhao Mu frowned. Not to mention solving the problem, they couldn't even break through the opponent's defense and could only passively wear them down.
"No, Zhao Mu, there's no point in continuing like this. We'll just be dragged down to exhaustion."
Yu Ying approached Zhao Mu, her eyes filled with a solemn expression.
"Let's back out first!"
Zhao Mu took a deep breath and decided to retreat for the time being. There was no point in continuing to waste time here.
"Ok!"
Yu Ying nodded; she shared the same thought.
"go!"
Without saying a word, Zhao Mu used the speed amplification technique and stepped on the Flicking Sleeve Shadow to immediately retreat.
The Nine Heavens Star Python seemed to have no intention of pursuing; it merely stretched its neck, spewed out a few fireballs and ice balls, and then slowly retreated.
Clearly, its duty is merely to stop outsiders; it has no intention of killing them.
"The Nine Heavens Star Python did not pursue us!"
Yu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but her tightly furrowed brows remained. "With this guy around, it will be very, very difficult for us to break through that area."
"It seems that the Heavenly Void Cauldron is right behind us."
Zhao Mu boldly speculated that the Nine Heavens Star Python was clearly guarding the now ownerless Heavenly Void Cauldron.
"Is it possible to go around from another location?"
"That probably won't work!"
Yu Ying shook her head and said, "I just observed that, according to the direction indicated, we can only go towards that area. There is no way to go around it, especially the mountains on both sides, which obviously have high-level restrictions. I have never even seen such restrictions before, let alone broken them."
"This is troublesome!"
Zhao Mu murmured something, and just then, he suddenly noticed something was wrong and turned around to look.
"what happened?"
Yu Ying asked curiously.
"Our advantage is gone."
Zhao Mu sighed deeply, because Yin Yu and the others had already found a way to enter the Langhuan Palace. But soon, he smiled slightly and said, "Since we can't deal with these Nine Heavens Star Pythons, let them handle it."
"Compared to the Nine Heavens Star Python, Cang Ming and Yin Yu are obviously much easier to deal with."
