Next, several people all jumped into this Holy Land.
They landed in an immense underground palace.
The palace was extraordinarily vast, resembling an underground city.
And within this palace, it was surprisingly luxurious.
The entire palace was supported by eighteen massive stone pillars, each three hundred zhang high.
Each of these stone pillars had a diameter of thirty meters.
The scene was indeed grand.
Xu Nian and the others seemed very small standing inside the great hall.
And on these pillars, there were countless Snake Clan statues entwined.
The great hall was long, like a lengthy passageway.
Deep inside, the end couldnāt be seen, and what lay beyond was unknown.
Ten meters ahead of them, a man stood at this moment.
The man held a Long Spear, giving off an extremely dangerous aura.
"Buzz!"
The man suddenly opened his eyes, the gaze he cast at Xu Nian and the others was sharp beyond measure.
"This place is the forbidden land of the Snake Clan lineage. Those who trespass shall die!"
The man stamped his Long Spear on the ground, immediately emitting a terrifying pressure.
"Demon Emperor Perfection Level Expert?"
The female Clan Leader and the others showed expressions of surprise.
Xu Nian was also somewhat astonished.
This Snake Clan expert turned out to be at the Demon Emperor Perfection Level.
Could it be that he has been guarding here all along?
"Senior, we are members of the Snake Clan. We are here seeking the Snake Clanās Ancient Bloodline, so please let us pass." the female Clan Leader said.
"Since you are Snake Clan members, you must pass the trial. Without passing the trial, you are not allowed to enter the forbidden landās interior." the man said sternly.
"Trial? What trial?" a Snake Clan member asked.
"Defeat me, kill me, and then you may enter the depths of the forbidden land." the middle-aged man said sternly.
At this, everyone became surprised.
To slay this Demon Emperor Perfection Level expert?
This trial was excessively stringent.
And thereās no need to kill a Demon Emperor Perfection Level expert for just a trial.
"Senior, why must such a trial be set? Canāt another form of trial be implemented? To be frank, the Snake Clan no longer has any Demon Emperor Perfection Level experts; we wish to invite you back to strengthen our Snake Clan." the female Clan Leader sincerely said.
To him, such a trial was fundamentally a lose-lose situation.
Letās not talk about whether they can pass the trial; even if they did, it would be a tremendous loss for their Snake Clan.
Thus, the female Clan Leader naturally didnāt wish to accept this trial.
"You neednāt worry; in fact, tens of millions of years ago, I already died. Now, Iām merely a puppet crafted by special techniques, my soul is no longer complete. Once I leave this great hall, my soul will shatter. Iāve been here long enough, longing for you to kill me." the Snake Clan expert laughed.
His eyes were filled with intense fighting spirit.
Upon hearing this, the female Clan Leader and the others expressed regret.
Finally encountering a Demon Emperor Perfection Level Snake Clan expert, but unexpectedly he couldnāt leave this great hall.
"In that case, we juniors will have to offend you." the female Clan Leader said coldly.
"Haha, I wonāt go easy; if I end up killing you, donāt blame me." the Snake Clan man said with a cold laugh.
With that, a terrifying aura surged from him.
A terrifying Flame Law instantly surged from him.
Emitting an extremely frightening temperature.
The Snake Clan man didnāt wield the Long Spear but planted it on the ground, clenched fists.
Even so, everyone felt a strong sense of oppression.
"Donāt take action later, move away." Xu Nian said to Huo Baiyu beside him.
With Huo Baiyuās strength, heās fundamentally no match for this Snake Clan expertās single move.
It can be said that as soon as the other acts, he can instantly kill.
Huo Baiyu understood this deeply.
"Okay, Master, you be careful too." Huo Baiyu said to Xu Nian.
Xu Nian nodded.
He didnāt plan to fight with his life.
To him, obtaining the Snake Clanās Ancient Bloodline wasnāt that important.
If he could get it, that would be great.
If not, he wouldnāt risk his life for such a bloodline.
Thus, in this battle, he wouldnāt push forward too much.
Also retreating to a distance were two other Quasi-Devil Emperor level youths of the Snake Clan.
To them, in this battle.
They likewise did not have the qualifications to participate.
Ultimately, facing the Demon Emperor Perfection Level expert were just Xu Nian and three Snake Clan Demon Emperors.
"Hmph, kid, if youāre afraid, you can refrain from taking action. In battles of this caliber, involvement might just be a path to death." Mid-stage Demon Emperor Huo Tianlei taunted Xu Nian.
"Brother Tianlei, heās not afraid to die; heās a Nine Infant Descendant; maybe he has nine lives as well." Another early-stage Demon Emperor, who had been following Huo Tianlei, laughed, mocking.
"Nine lives? Him? To truly achieve nine lives, one must condense nine Demon Embryos within; such bloodline legacy has long been severed, how could he possess it." Huo Tianlei laughed coldly.
"Haha, Nine Infant is a water and fire attribute demon beast, heās Gold Attribute, clearly his bloodline is impure. So young, daring to take on disciples; unsure if heās reached the Demon Emperor realm." the early-stage Demon Emperor mocked again.
"Demon Emperor realm? Do you really think the Demon Emperor realm is easy to reach, some people never achieve it in their lifetime." Huo Tianlei scoffed again.
"Enough!" the female Clan Leader immediately reprimanded.
Her name was Huo Tianqiu.
She has significant authority within the Snake Clan.
Thus when she spoke, the two Demon Emperor experts immediately shut up.
Huo Tianqiu turned to Xu Nian and asked, "If you find it straining, you donāt have to participate in this trial; indeed, this trial is dangerous for you."
"No need, Iāll see if thereās an opportunity to act, if itās truly dangerous, Iāll retreat." Xu Nian said with a smile.
He didnāt care about the mockery from Huo Tianlei and the early-stage Demon Emperor.
To him, Huo Tianlei and the early-stage Demon Emperor were merely two noisy grasshoppers.
The reason for not quitting was because with Huo Tianqiuās strength, defeating that Demon Emperor Perfection Level expert was impossible.
However, if he joined forces with Huo Tianqiu, perhaps there might be a glimmer of hope.
As for Huo Tianlei and the other, their participation in such a battle wouldnāt matter.
"Are you ready? If you are, then letās begin." the Snake Clan expert suddenly grinned.
Then he dashed directly toward Huo Tianqiu.
Instantly appearing in front of Huo Tianqiu.
"So fast!"
Huo Tianqiu was startled.
Hurriedly mobilizing the Demon Essence Power within to fend off.
"Boom!"
The Demon Emperor Perfection Level expert threw a punch.
Directly hit Huo Tianqiuās blocking arm.
"Bang!"
A violent force surged from Huo Tianqiuās arm.
And then Huo Tianqiu was directly sent flying.
Crashing into the distant hall wall, making a muffled sound.
Huo Tianlei and his companion were greatly taken aback.
The Clan Leader didnāt withstand a punch from this Demon Emperor Perfection Level expert?
