Great Demon Sun Wukong

Immediately afterward, Bi Hai saw Jing Potian's body suddenly erupt in countless bolts of thunder light, zigzagging lightning that completely transformed the area around Jing Potian into a world of thunder and electricity. The ground beneath him caved rapidly under the roaming thunder and lightning.

Amid the wandering lightning, deities made of thunder and lightning and strange thunder beasts intermittently took form. Eventually, all the lightning entwined to reveal a colossal thunder serpent with nine heads nearly a kilometer long. Not only was its body massive, but the terror of its destructive aura was heart-stopping.

Without a doubt, this nine-headed serpent could destroy a major world if it so pleased. Of course, the Sand Realm couldn't be destroyed by this creature, not only because it was once a Divine Kingdom, but also because it had been refined by the Heavenly Patroller.

Although unable to destroy the Sand Realm, Bi Hai felt that the nine-headed serpent could easily annihilate herself, the King of Qin, Jixin, and Lin Xi. Staring at the gigantic serpent and feeling the destructive aura battering the outermost barrier like a tide, Bi Hai couldn't help but be horrified.

She hadn't even been attacked yet, but the mere aura leaked by the serpent gave her a feeling that the barrier would crumble—what if it really attacked her? She feared she would be instantly killed.

Bi Hai glanced at the King of Qin, who was on the ground recovering, then at Lin Xi, who was resting against the earth wall outside the barrier. Biting her lip, she picked up the King of Qin and sprinted towards Lin Xi. As she ran, cold sweat covered her; the aura of destruction emanating from the thunder serpent had formed a force field around it.

Within this force field, one had to endure constant assaults from the destructive aura and the power of lightning. Furthermore, as soon as Bi Hai moved, the intensity of both powers suddenly increased. And when Bi Hai turned her head, she saw one of the huge serpent's heads looking in her direction.

That moment nearly sent Bi Hai tumbling, but fortunately, she managed to stay centered at the last moment, or else that single glance would have shattered her spirit. Was this too terrifying or what? How could Jing Potian possess such dreadful power?

This thunder serpent was far beyond what an ordinary Nine Patterns Peak Supreme could handle—probably only top-level Domain Lords could stand against it.

Enduring the bone-piercing destructive aura and simultaneously maintaining the outermost barrier, lest three consecutive strikes shatter it. What frightened Bi Hai was that the originally chaotic destructive aura and lightning were now showing a tendency to coalesce as if they were about to take form.

When Bi Hai was halfway to Lin Xi, giant pythons replaced the previous assaults on the outer barrier. As Bi Hai ran, they followed in pursuit, occasionally striking the barrier with their massive tails and python heads.

Although the pythons' hits weren't breaking the barrier, they significantly hampered Bi Hai's progress. Each impact sent her uncontrollably veering. The straight-line distance, though short, seemed insurmountable, and the pythons seemed to recognize that Bi Hai's goal was the person ahead.

So amid Bi Hai's roars, two pythons burst forth and slithered towards Lin Xi. Lin Xi had long noticed the immense thunder serpent and pythons, yet he made no move, for he saw further ahead than Bi Hai. He knew that what the pythons were waiting for was the moment Bi Hai opened the shield to encompass him—they would strike.

Such an act was hardly clever; it seemed utterly superfluous. After all, the thunder serpent could annihilate Bi Hai with a single strike, making the manifestation of the pythons unnecessary. As the saying goes, 'Abrnormality indicates deceit.' Thus, Lin Xi's mind raced to discern the real significance behind Jing Potian's actions—or more precisely, behind those of the thunder serpent.

Finally, as the pythons drew near, Lin Xi caught a glimpse of the jade box in Bi Hai's hand, which contained the Supreme Treasure, the Elixir Spirit Pill. Previously, the King of Qin had absorbed just some of the Elixir's power, which was sufficient; daring to swallow an Elixir Spirit Pill itself could cause one to explode from the immense medicinal power in an instant!

And in the moment he saw the jade box, a light flashed across Lin Xi's mind. He realized the significance behind Jing Potian's actions!

He cast one more distant glance at the gargantuan serpent, whose tail was out of sight, and noticed that since its appearance, only one head was watching this direction, while the other eight heads continuously flicked their tongues, seemingly occupied with something else.

Although Lin Xi had already understood the situation, he still hadn't made his move; instead, he was waiting for the right moment to strike—a moment that would allow him to successfully enter Bi Hai's barrier without letting those giant pythons in. In the span of a breath, the two giant pythons were already imminent, so close that Lin Xi could feel the incoming power of the thunder and lightning.

Another breath passed, and the two giant pythons had appeared right in front of Lin Xi. Seeing that Lin Xi hadn't moved, they didn't hesitate to open their bloodthirsty maws and aimed for Lin Xi's shoulders with a vicious bite. If they managed to bite down, there would be no doubt of Lin Xi's death.

But just as their gaping maws were about to reach Lin Xi's shoulders, suddenly, a shadow flashed by Lin Xi's side. As soon as the shadow appeared, it turned decisively, a fist with the vibrant image of a tiger's head on it emerged, followed by a thunderous tiger's roar from the shadow's mouth. Then, with that powerful punch, it struck the two giant pythons right at the vital seven-inch mark.

The massive force of the impact sent the two giant pythons flying away, and without a moment's pause, the shadow burst forward from its position, appearing once again in front of Bi Hai. As the shadow materialized, its hands came together, and behind its back instantly sprouted six robust arms.

These arms reached out and grasped the remaining six giant pythons that were coiled around Bi Hai's barrier. Then, the person suddenly shouted in a loud voice, "Lin Xi, hurry!" As soon as the voice rang out, Lin Xi took a step from his original position, and by the time he took another step and drew it back, he had already appeared inside Bi Hai's barrier.

"If you had this move, why didn't you use it earlier? You almost got me killed!" Bi Hai maintained the barrier's integrity with one hand pressed against it, while quickly taking out a jade box with the other hand and handing it to Lin Xi. Lin Xi took the jade box, opened it quickly, then leaned his head over it and inhaled deeply from the Elixir Spirit Pills inside.

At this moment, the colossal Thunder Light Nine-Headed Snake, which had previously remained motionless, suddenly emitted an angry roar. The roar seemed to shake the entire Sand Realm, and once it subsided, a huge pit with a diameter of two thousand meters appeared around the Thunder Light Nine-Headed Snake.

Seeing the sheer power of the nine-headed snake from just a roar, Bi Hai couldn't help but suspect that its strength was potentially much greater than the giant demon summoned by Yao Wumeng previously. That giant demon could break through his defenses with just a few punches and kicks, while this nine-headed snake might break all three layers of his barrier with a single strike.

Did this mean he had to use his last ultimate move? But if he used that move, whether he could survive was still a question. Shaken by the roar, Bi Hai was somewhat dazed, but Lin Xi was not.

After inhaling the Elixir Spirit Pill's healing power, Lin Xi had no time to calm down for refinement; he directly manipulated the Dong Tian Chi left outside to sequentially slay the giant pythons held in Jixin's grasp.

The Dong Tian Chi made light work of the giant pythons, and quickly, they all turned into thunder and lightning, while Jixin took the opportunity to slip into Bi Hai's barrier as well.

Originally, the battle between Lin Xi and Hao Chen had been fierce, but at the moment the colossal Thunder Light Nine-Headed Snake appeared, Hao Chen suddenly began to retreat while fighting. When Bi Hai began to rush towards Lin Xi, Hao Chen suddenly exposed a flaw and escaped. Thus, Jixin was able to appear at Lin Xi's side at the critical moment.

Just as Lin Xi had killed the pythons and his body had largely recovered, the thousand-meter-long nine-headed snake suddenly stood upright, its nine heads turning simultaneously to look down upon the ground with a very serious demeanor. For a moment, Lin Xi and the others were baffled. What was happening? Could it be that the nine-headed snake wanted to burrow underground?

Before they could figure it out, the nine heads of the snake came together and, like a drill bit, began burrowing into the ground!
