Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 514 - 511 Poison Dao Legacy, Subduing the Strange Snake
Chapter 514 -511 Poison Dao Legacy, Subduing the Strange Snake
The Ruyi Golden Snake had only merged with the Ghost Dragon’s bloodline not long ago and hadn’t had the pupil-type divine power for very long. Qin Feng hadn’t yet cultivated this divine power into his own body, and at present, he could only activate the Yin Yang Ghost Eye by merging with the Ruyi Golden Snake. Through the mist and the occasional blizzards, he could see the scenery ahead.
Even so, Qin Feng was already very pleased.
This was, after all, the bloodline divine power of his lifebound spiritual beast. With the techniques passed down by the Beast Taming Sect and his current level of Dao cultivation, it wouldn’t take long for him to cultivate this divine power into his own eyes through the close connection he shared with his lifebound spiritual beast.
Moreover, whether it was the Yin Yang Ghost Eye, which could see through the origin of souls, or the Life and Death Reincarnation Technique, which could transform life and death and traverse both the Yin and Yang realms, both were top-level great divine powers. They were far beyond ordinary divine powers, and even upon ascending to becoming an immortal, they naturally had the potential to become supreme divine powers.
This was the formidable aspect of inheriting the bloodline of top-level divine beasts!
However, this was also the most primordial divine power of the Ghost Dragon Ancestor in Ghost Dragon City, not a True Dragon inheritance. It could be considered an exclusive ability. If Qin Feng were to use it in the future, it would be best to avoid that particular Ghost Dragon Ancestor; otherwise, if his deception was discovered, it might lead to some trouble.
Qin Feng continued to observe as he moved forward. With the Yin Yang Ghost Eye activated, he confirmed that there were no dangers nearby and hence, he used the Shrinking Ground to Inch Divine Power to greatly increase his speed.
Sometimes, even too lazy to use the divine power on his own eyes, a head from the Ruyi Golden Snake would extend from his back. Its slender neck would raise high, stretching dozens of feet, with a pair of vertical pupils watching ahead for him.
When confronted with complex terrain, he would simply release all nine heads of the Ruyi Golden Snake. From the sky to the ground, in all directions, they could observe every angle simultaneously, saving him the trouble of turning his head.
When he stepped onto a tall glacier and stood atop it to survey the distant scenery, his eyes suddenly brightened.
For he saw what he was looking for.
A nest of poisonous snakes!
Unlike ordinary poisonous snakes, these possessed the bloodline of Nidhogg and were a born exotic species, otherwise, they couldn’t possibly survive in such a cold icy and snowy environment.
However, relative to the pure bloodline of evil dragons, these poisonous snakes were weaker, hence their strength was not as formidable as that of evil dragons.
If evil dragons were said to be a race not inferior to giant dragons, the bloodline power of these poisonous snakes was a notch weaker. An adult evil dragon could have a strength comparable to the Purple Mansion Realm, while these ordinary poisonous snakes were only equivalent to the Demon Core Realm. To advance, they would need to consume the roots of the World Tree to acquire more energy.
There were over a dozen poisonous snakes in that nest, hundreds of miles away. Apart from the leading one with the strength of the Purple Mansion Realm, the rest were merely ordinary Demon Core Realm existences.
Qin Feng wasn’t picky and quickly headed in their direction, planning to subdue these poisonous snakes and let them venture to the Unending Spring on his behalf. He hoped they would be able to bring back the current situation of the World Tree for him.
He believed that bringing back detailed intelligence about the World Tree would surely be a considerable merit.
After all, the root located in the Unending Spring was one of the main roots of the World Tree and was also the most critical. Even the fate of this main root was directly linked to whether the great catastrophe known as Ragnarok would erupt prematurely or not, so naturally, it was a very important piece of intelligence.
The true disciples from the major sects in Biluo that had entered this world for trials did not have the advantage that Qin Feng had. In the limited time of ten years, most disciples might not be able to traverse this world once, let alone explore such secret intelligence in the Lower World.
Even if someone spent a few years figuring out the layout of this world, they might not know about the evil dragons damaging the World Tree. And even if someone happened to come to the Lower World, passing through the Undead Realm to reach this icy, snowy land, they might not dare to approach the Unending Spring.
Being the foundational place of Nidhogg, the Ancestor of Evil Dragons, it was also the main base for evil dragons and poisonous snakes. Although their number was less compared to giants and divine beings, it was still a top-level race with many powerful beings. Such a place was not somewhere true disciples from various orders could approach.
Therefore, Qin Feng was confident that as long as he could bring back this information, it would be a great accomplishment.
However, after witnessing the strength of the two previous Demigod Realm evil dragons, he completely dismissed the notion of going there himself. Instead, he chose to subdue a few evil dragons or poisonous snakes to go on his behalf.
Therefore, he did not care what exactly he encountered along the way. If he encountered relatively average evil dragons, he would act similarly. Now that he had come across these poisonous snakes first, Qin Feng would not be averse to them.
He dashed forward with supernatural speed and in just a moment had traversed several hundred miles to the outskirts of those snowy mountains.
Standing at the base of the mountain, Qin Feng looked up to size up those poisonous snakes.
Each of these fellows was quite large in size, with lengths reaching eight or nine zhang, and the leader among them, a Demon Snake from the Purple Mansion Realm, possessed an even more enormous body, roughly thirty zhang long.
Moreover, from the immense aura exuded by this snake, one could sense that its strength had also reached the peak level of the Purple Mansion Realm; otherwise, it wouldn’t be so much larger than the other snakes.
Often times among the rows of Demon Beasts and monsters, size also represented strength. While this was not always the case, there were indeed no weaklings among the exceptionally large Demon Beasts.
Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction as he watched that head snake, “You’re the one!”
Atop the snowy peak, the slithering poisonous snakes, covered in pitch-black scales, gradually stopped their playful frolicking. With a hint of surprise in their cold, slit pupils, they gazed at Qin Feng.
These common snakes had neither ventured out of the Mist Country nor seen members of the Human Clan, so they were quite astonished to suddenly see a two-legged creature appear out of nowhere and dare stare at them unblinkingly beneath their nest. Did he not fear being devoured by them?
Although puzzled, the youthful snakes soon grew excited, detecting from Qin Feng the vigorous power of Qi Blood. Such fresh and lively flesh was rarely seen in the snow-covered Mist Country.
And for the snakes, it was a particularly delicious and tempting treat.
Thus, they darted down rapidly through the thick layer of snow, eager not to lose their chance at capturing this morsel, fearing that falling behind even by a step would mean missing out on the food. After all, Qin Feng’s size was so small that he would only be enough for one gulp and they were not willing to share with others of their kind.
Before arriving here, Qin Feng had already confirmed that the Mist Country’s territory was vast and immense, stretching for thousands of miles. Aside from the poisonous snakes before him, there were no other powerful Evil Dragons or snakes nearby. Thus, he was not worried about startling other formidable beings as he had the last time and could boldly and assuredly subdue these strange snakes!
As a dozen or so ordinary strange snakes were about to pounce on him, he waved his hand, summoning both the Ghost-Faced Spider and the Soul Devouring Vine Demon.
One of these creatures continuously shot out webs, while the other swung many vine branches, using their higher level of strength to forcibly bind those snakes. They quickly captured them alive, waiting for their master to send the snakes into the Demon Refining Pot.
“Hiss hiss…”
The large snake that had been coiled at the peak of the snowy mountain and hadn’t made a move before, upon witnessing Qin Feng summoning two powerful monsters, as well as their swift capture of his offspring, quickly became restless. With a sudden leap, the serpent sprung into the air, rapidly descending towards the ground below.
Before it even came close, it had already opened its huge mouth, spewing out a foul stream of poison water!
The snakes from the Mist Country are quite unique, they are not referred to by other names like other types of snakes.
For example, Shadow Snakes, Nine-Headed Snakes, Red Refinement Snakes, and so on, each have their own special monikers according to their unique traits, distinguishing them from other snakes.
But the snakes from the Mist Country are uniformly called poisonous snakes by the Divine and Giant Clans, and they are not given other names.
Because in the eyes of those divine beings and giants, the name “poisonous snake” is sufficient for the snakes of the Mist Country; any other name simply wouldn’t capture their true essence.
It’s not just because these snakes possess deadly venom, but more so because they are the most toxic entities of this world, having reached a point of toxicity that necessitates no other designation.
Although these poisonous snakes didn’t possess the same level of strength as Evil Dragons, being descendants of Nidhogg, they normally feed on gnawing the roots of the World Tree.
Normally, snakes of this strength wouldn’t dare to nibble on the World Tree. As the Divine Tree that supports the three Great Worlds, even its tiniest roots are incredibly tough, far beyond the capability of ordinary monsters to gnaw on.
Yet, these poisonous snakes have their own unique talent – the ability to corrode everything with their extreme toxicity.
Such potent poison could corrode even the roots of the World Tree; this was the main reason they could feed on the World Tree.
Indeed, the Evil Dragons of the Mist Country also harbored potent venom within their bodies, given that they shared a common ancestor with the snakes and possessed similar bloodlines with many overlapping power attributes.
Qin Feng could tell this from the increasingly fierce venom within the Ruyi Golden Snake.
However, the Evil Dragons, due to their superior strength, did not pay too much attention to their venom. Over the long course of their proliferation, the potency of their venom had diminished, and they specialized in it no more than these poison snakes.
Qin Feng did not want the colossal poison snake to disrupt the Ghost-Faced Spider and the Soul Devouring Vine Demon from capturing ordinary poison snakes, so he waved his hand and released a defensive spell, trying to block the falling venom in mid-air.
To his surprise, the moment his defensive magic came into contact with the venom, it sizzled and immediately dissolved into a large hole; the venom continued its trajectory unabated, spraying down.
Seeing this, Qin Feng’s expression involuntarily changed.
He had anticipated the snake’s venom to be strong but had not expected it to be so formidable.
Looking down, he saw the poison snakes trying to break free from the restraints of the Ghost-Faced Spider and the Soul Devouring Vine Demon. Despite their insufficient strength, the corrosive venom they sprayed was enough to turn the spiderweb and vines white with smoke.
The spiderwebs were somewhat better off, already bearing potent venom, but the vine tendrils of the Soul Devouring Vine Demon, upon contact with the poison, immediately withered yellow, followed by countless leaves falling like rain, scattering across the ground.
If not for the Soul Devouring Vine Demon’s mastery in the Life Principle and its abundant power of life within, it would not endure such consumption.
Seeing this, Qin Feng did not dare to neglect the situation and waved his hand, releasing both the White Dragon and the Qingluan.
Relatively speaking, the power attributes within these two Spiritual Beasts were more effective against potent poisons.
“Roar…”
With a mighty roar, the White Dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a scorching Holy Flame, purifying the venom sprayed by the giant poison snake in mid-air completely.
The giant poison snake did not give up, opening its mouth again to spray out a vast amount of Poison Water.
It was combining the venom with Water Element Techniques, making it even more difficult to deal with.
“Chirp…”
A clear cry echoed through the void as the Qingluan spread its wings, dragging its beautiful figure and long tail feathers behind it, tracing a graceful arc in the sky. With a flap of its wings, a sea of flames blocked the stream of Poison Water.
Although its strength was not equal to the poison snake’s, temporarily holding back the attack was no issue.
With the delay provided by the Qingluan, the White Dragon quickly seized the opportunity for a great display of divine power, casting various powerful Dragon Language Magics in succession, forcing the poison snake to retreat repeatedly.
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and observed them gaining the upper hand. He then stepped forward to approach the smaller poison snakes and executed the Dragon Claw Hand technique, conjuring large dragon claws to grip the unfortunate snakes by their vital points, lifting their bodies and depositing them into the Demon Refining Pot.
These creatures were not a match for him to begin with, let alone now that they were restrained by the Ghost-Faced Spider and the Soul Devouring Vine Demon. In such a state, they lacked even the option to struggle before Qin Feng captured them.
Once inside the Demon Refining Pot, given these snakes’ strength at best comparable to the Demon Core Realm, they had no capability to resist and were directly refined and subdued by the pot.
Qin Feng felt quite pleased in his heart.
He had not originally given much thought to these poison snakes, only intending to use them to help him inspect the condition of the World Tree roots.
But now things were different. He had discovered that these poisonous snakes were highly suitable for one of the inherited techniques of the Spiritual Snake Lineage, the “Bone-Eroding Soul-Destroying Heavenly Evil Technique.”
Originally, Liu Wuxiang was selected by Elder Zhong Wandu because the toxicity of the Black Water Mysterious Snake was extremely fierce, making him a disciple of the “Bone-Eroding Soul-Destroying Heavenly Evil Technique” lineage.
Even if it weren’t for Qin Feng, had he been given a few more years, Liu Wuxiang would have wholly possessed the qualifications to compete for the status of a True Disciple.
Even now, Liu Wuxiang had stood out from the countless disciples of the Spiritual Snake Lineage and participated in the Five Domains trials.
Within the Spiritual Snake Lineage of the Beast Taming Sect, although there were far more disciples practicing the “Bone-Eroding Soul-Destroying Heavenly Evil Technique” than those practicing the “Netherworld Yin Snake Seven Incantations,” very few achieved great success, far less than the other True Inheritance Techniques.
It wasn’t that these two True Inheritance Skills lacked power, but rather, the corresponding number of Spiritual Snakes capable of meeting the standard was too few. Thus, the number of disciples choosing to practice the “Bone-Eroding Soul-Destroying Heavenly Evil Technique” had gradually decreased in recent years.
Qin Feng believed that bringing back these poisonous snakes from the Mist Country would undoubtedly allow the Sect to dazzle in the Poison Dao.
Above, the massive poisonous snake, upon seeing that Qin Feng had quickly taken away all of its offspring, became furiously enraged.
However, creatures like this monster were naturally cunning. Upon noticing that the Ghost-Faced Spider and the Soul Devouring Vine Demon were also preparing to attack it, it immediately abandoned its hatred and turned to flee.

It knew very well that if it continued to cling to battle, it would likely end up defeated. It was better to escape quickly; if these few creatures dared to follow closely, it could lead them to the nests of other powerful kin.
But would Qin Feng let this giant snake get away?
He had come here mainly for this massive poisonous snake. Ordinary smaller snakes might not have the chance to get close to the Unending Spring. It was better to let this big snake have a turn!
Thus his figure flashed, and he suddenly soared into the sky.
Before he even approached, nine gigantic dragon heads had already emerged from behind him.
He did not use Divine Powers that were too overwhelming lest he harm the big snake. Instead, he employed various Binding techniques.
First came the Gravity Divine Power. When tens of times the normal gravity descended upon it, the giant snake’s body sank sharply, nearly falling to the ground.
Soon after, Qin Feng waved his big hand, and an earthen yellow radiance emerged, shaping into a mountain range that pressed down onto the back of the giant snake as the nine dragon heads opened their mouths and breathed out cold air.
The cold turned to ice, freezing the void and encasing the giant snake inside.
Although the giant snake quickly twisted its body and shattered the ice, freeing itself from its bindings, this brief entanglement allowed the other Spiritual Beasts to catch up and surround it.
The White Dragon executed Light Element Prohibition Magic to help bind the giant snake, and Qingluan roamed the perimeter. If the giant snake showed any sign of fleeing, it would let out a clear cry and breathe Divine Fire to drive it back.
However, the biggest help still came from the Ghost-Faced Spider and the Soul Devouring Vine Demon.
The Soul Devouring Vine Demon first extended tendrils to entwine the giant snake. Even as the snake’s poisonous spray caused its branches to shed and its vines to rot, it did not give up.
The Ghost-Faced Spider took advantage of the situation to spew layers of webbing, covering layer upon layer, and after a struggle, they finally managed to bind the giant snake for a moment.
Although, judging by the force with which the giant snake was struggling free, it probably would manage to escape within a few moments, Qin Feng had enough time to pull it into the Demon Refining Pot.
The nine massive dragon heads behind him bit into the body of the poisonous snake and tugged fiercely. Although the giant snake instinctually sensed intense danger and struggled fiercely, it was helpless due to being bound and could only watch as it entered a strange space, wide-eyed.
