The Great Dark Priestess’s dance was mysterious and strange, and it was accompanied by muffled murmuring. She emitted many obscure Soul Ripples that passed through the nine-headed python king’s forehead. She managed to obstruct the python king’s crazy incantation with every step.

“Huh? Heavenly Demon Dance?” When Yang Ling saw the Great Dark Priestess that danced in the air like a butterfly, he cried out in confusion.

There were many Soul Wizard Spells recorded in the stele in the Wizard Pagoda’s fifth layer, and they included a dance called Heavenly Demon Dance. This dance could draw the world’s power with mysterious movements, and it could forcefully attack or constrict enemies’ souls. It was quite powerful, and if the Soul Assimilating Heavenly Demon Zither was added to it, its offensive power would become more terrifying, and it would be able to kill people undetected.

However, it was a pity that, according to the stele’s explanation, the Heavenly Demon Dance and Zither were suitable only for women’s practice, and this was why Yang Ling had just skimmed over them. He didn’t expect that the Great Dark Priestess knew a similar dance, and even though the movement and chant were quite different, they still achieved the same effects when it came to attacking souls.

“Could it be that a Great Priestess’s practice is just a branch of the Ancient Wizardry that was handed down.” Yang Ling recalled Tailun Continent’s Ancient Wizards that disappeared long ago and got an idea about this. He might probably get info about the Ancient Wizards’ whereabouts from the Great Dark Priestess.

Hiss!

The Dark Cavalry Commander and the Great Dark Priestess rained attacks upon the nine-headed python king, and the Great Dark Priestess’s powerful Soul Attack managed to interrupt the python king’s Forbidden Spell at the last moment.

The nine-headed python king let out an aggrieved cry and started a crazy counterattack resentfully. It launched Explosive Fireballs, Icicles, and other Spells that covered the land, and it had even spouted a stinky liquid that could instantly melt rocks. It possessed powerful magic and a ferocious body. This was why the Three Heads of Darkness didn’t dare to rashly approach it for now.

“Humph, let’s see how long you can persist.” Yang Ling snorted coldly and joined the ranks of fighters. He held the Crystal Staff and released wave upon wave of Soul Attacks, while he also gnashed his teeth and expanded the range and density of the Crystal Fog. He didn’t mind consuming a large amount of Wizard Power and Mental Energy to apply 64 fold of gravity again, and he lowered the nine-headed python king’s power and speed greatly.

Swoosh!

The Dark Commander Barbosa covered by the thick Crystal Fog dived down fast from a high-altitude and struck with his spear the nine-headed python king’s main golden head accurately. He managed to destroy the python king’s Core Armor that protected its Godhead with a single strike.

In an instant, the body of the nine-headed python king that was encircled heavily started shaking, and when the Dark Commander pulled out his spear and retreated far away, blood gushed out of the python king’s head. At that moment, the Great Dark Elder’s scimitar approached the beast silently, and as a swooshing sound echoed out, the four heads in the nine-headed python king’s left side were chopped and sent flying away.

The thick Crystal Fog controlled by Yang Ling restricted the nine-headed python king’s vision and Divine Consciousness’s detection scope greatly, but it didn’t affect the Three Heads of Darkness. This was why the nine-headed python king suffered greatly and suffered consecutive attacks from the crowd. A large amount of blood flowed from it, and it suffered wave upon wave of attacks, its injuries turned grave, and it became weaker and slower. Its situation turned for the worse!

It was a divine beast at the peak of the Mid-Level Deity Stage, and it was confident that it could kill any of the Three Heads of Darkness one-on-one, and even if it faced them together, it still wouldn’t be overwhelmed in a short time, and it would be easy for it to retreat unscathed.

But it was a pity that it had sustained many wounds to pass through the spatial crevice and consumed a large amount of its Divine Power. Later, its injuries turned more grave due to the attacks of Yang Ling and the Blood Angels Corps. Its power was gradually weakened, and this was why it suffered greatly under the joint attacks of the crowd.

If it fought, it wouldn’t be able to get the victory, and if it ran away, it wouldn’t manage to escape.

The nine-headed python king realized that its situation was anything, but reassuring started a crazy counterattack. It tried to tear open the crowd’s encirclement and rush out. But, it was a pity that its power dropped greatly due to its heavy injuries and couldn’t escape. Moreover, the Dark Commander and Dark Great Elder seized this chance to inflict upon its wounds so deep that bones could be seen. A large chunk of its tail was chopped, its wings were broken, and its golden main head was mangled. As for the other heads on both sides, they were chopped repeatedly one time after the other.

The knot of snakes that retreated into the depths of the valley was summoned by the nine-headed python king, and they rushed out crazily to save it. But, it was a pity that they were obstructed by the Restriction Spells, and Yang Ling had even summoned the Magical Beast Army again. The powerful Magical Beast Army was in front of the snakes, and they couldn’t rush over despite dropping innumerable corpses here. Blood flowed in the valley’s entrance until it formed rivers, and dismembered pythons could be seen everywhere.

“Die!” When the Dark Commander discerned that it was difficult for the nine-headed python king to move, he seized the chance and tried to stab the python king’s golden main head with his spear again. This was a deadly strike launched by him with his full power, and it was quite swift. He left behind him a series of afterimages, and ear-piercing tearing sound emanated from the air. As long as this strike hit the dying nine-headed python king, it surely wouldn’t survive.

“Hold on, let me deal with it.” Yang Ling weaved Wizard Seals with his hands and moved the dying nine-headed python king that was in imminent peril into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension.

This was a divine beast with power at the peak of the Mid-Level Deity Stage. So, how was it possible for him to let this golden opportunity slip by?

Taming this powerful beast was better than taming 100 or 10,000 Level Surpassing Magical Beasts. If he got the protection of a God-Level Magical Beast, he would have greater assurance when it came to exploring Alien Planes and the Graveyard of Gods and Devils. He would also be more confident that he could find the ruins and whereabouts of Ancient Wizards.

The nine-headed python king was quite powerful, and if it wasn’t injured, Yang Ling wouldn’t dare to move this terrifying beast into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension. But now, it was dying, and its consciousness was muddled. This was why he wouldn’t let this chance slip by.

After Yang Ling consumed a bottle of Life Spring’s water and a large number of Magical Beasts’ Blood Orbs, he managed to tame the dying nine-headed python king before he exhausted his Wizard Power and Mental Energy.

Yang Ling gave the nine-headed python king a bottle of Life Spring’s water and moved it next to the Great Wizard Pagoda so that it could quickly recover while bathing in the white fog. After he had done so, he quickly left the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension.

“Brother Yang Ling, are you able to tame even a God-Level Magical Beast?” When the Dark Great Elder saw Yang Ling emerging here, he shook his head out of disbelief.

Summoners were quite rare in Tailun Continent and Alien Planes, and only a few of them could train until the Domain-Level, let alone advance into God-Level. Even a powerful High-Level Deity couldn’t use his great power to subdue a divine beast, and this was why the people who possessed divine beasts in Alien Planes were all great powerhouses. If Yang Ling could tame a divine beast with power at the peak of the Mid-Level Stage just after he advanced into the Low-Level Deity Stage, then his potential and power were so terrifying.

“I don’t know. The failure rate in taming and summoning a God-Level Magical Beast is too high, and I don’t know whether I can succeed even one time out of a thousand tries. Sigh!” When Yang Ling saw the surprised Three Heads of Darkness, he got wary and didn’t expose his power. He put on an act and shook his head. He said, “Great Elder, do you have some Divine Beasts? Can you please introduce a few to me?”

Introducing a few Divine Beasts?

The Dark Great Elder was left between laughter and tears. Divine Beasts weren’t cabbage. So, where could he find several Divine Beasts?

“There are many devils in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils, and there are also innumerable Magical Beasts that included God-Level Magical Beasts. If you are powerful enough, you can go there and try to subdue them.” The Dark Cavalry Commander Barbosa chuckled and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

The Dark Cavalry Commander Barbosa had used his whole power to inflict heavy injuries upon the nine-headed python king and consumed a large amount of Divine Power to do so. Even though they were all Mid-Level Deities, if the Great Elder and the Great Priestess didn’t cooperate with him and if the nine-headed python king wasn’t injured, he still wouldn’t have been able to fight it one-on-one. That python’s defensive and offensive powers were greater by much than the Great Templar Elder, that was also a Mid-Level Deity.

“Huh? Are there many Magical Beasts in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils?” When Yang Ling heard that many Magical Beasts were within the Graveyard of Gods and Devils, he was quite baffled. “Didn’t you say that it’s a graveyard of Gods and Devils, why are there so many Magical Beasts in it?”

“The Graveyard of Gods and Devils is quite vast, and its expanse is beyond people’s imagination. Every time we enter it, we just wander in the outer periphery.” When the Great Dark Priestess holding the Dark Staff discerned that Yang Ling was confused, she chuckled softly. “The real Graveyard of Gods and Devils isn’t in the Northern Glacier, and just a Teleportation Gate left from ancient times is there.”

“It’s rumored that the Graveyard of Gods and Devils is a Great Plane, and its expanse is greater than Tailun Continent by several thousand or tens of thousand folds.” The Great Dark Elder stroked his white beard and paused for a moment. He said, “It doesn’t just have the corpses of Ancient Gods and Devils that died in ancient times, there are also many strange Magical Beasts, and there are many powerful God-Level Magical Beasts among them. The deeper we venture into it, the more powerful ghosts, devils, and Magical Beasts we will run into. If one didn’t have a High-Level Deity’s power, it would be pretty good for him to just wander in the outer periphery.”

“This means that picking Ancient Gods and Devils’ Divine Weapons or Godheads are more difficult than crossing a spatial crevice.” The disappointed Yang Ling shook his head. At first, he planned to seize the chance to pick 10 or 8 Godheads in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils to help the Black Dragon King, Corpse Wizard King, and others advance quickly into God-Level. But now, it seemed that it wasn’t so easy.

“Even if one was lucky, it isn’t anyone able to get Ancient Gods and Devils’ Divine Weapons or Godheads.” The Great Dark Elder looked at the disappointed Yang Ling and revealed a meaningful smile. “But, even if we can’t get Divine Weapons and Godheads, it will still be pretty good to hunt down several high-level Magical Beasts. The Magical Beasts in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils aren’t the same as the ones in Tailun Continent, and their Soul Energy is unusually powerful. If we fuse with their Essence Crystals, we will manage to increase our training speed, and we will become powerful Beast Soul Warriors. If you can fuse with a Divine Beast or Godhead in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils, you will get benefits beyond your imagination.”

Beast Soul Warrior?

When Yang Ling saw the Great Elder’s meaningful smile, he revealed a pensive look. It seemed like the Three Heads of Darkness didn’t come for something as simple as helping him deal with the nine-headed python king.
