There is nothing there, and yet everything in the world seems to exist there.
"Stop it now!" The Taotie Lord, whose mouth was half rotten but who was only raging with rage and no fear, suddenly screamed out in shock, his voice carrying a tension that could not be ignored. "Are you crazy? Daoyuan is so willing to explode without a care?"
"You said it yourself, the Spirit Snake doesn't even have a single drop of Source Power." Zhen Shuangliu sneered, "Nine tribes of exotic beasts are born with Source Power in their mouths. A few years ago, you were half a step ahead of Jiaotu, and now your Dao Source is at least ten times stronger than mine. If I don't explode once, do I still have to wrestle with you?"
Hua Yanwang stared intently at Zhen Shuangliu's right hand, his eyes fixed on him, afraid to miss even the slightest change. He had previously called Zhen Shuangliu a "little snake" and a "bug," treating him casually as a mere snack. But now, being bullied by this "house-raised guard," his mouth was filled with blood, and cold sweat slowly seeped down his forehead.
"Think carefully." Hua Yanwang stared at Zhen Shuangliu. "Not only do I have Daoyuan to protect me, but I also have the protection of the four Jinyun realms. This time, at most, I'll lose some soldiers and generals. But if you act recklessly like this, you will definitely be wiped out."
Zhen Shuangliu sneered, unmoved. "Once I die, I'll blow away 70% to 80% of your source power. In terms of pure Dao Source, you'll make a profit. If you want to bargain, you might as well keep it. Your old friend who's been eyeing you covetously will surely be happy to hear you out."
"...If you stop now, I'll give you half a drop of Dao Source, then I'll turn around and leave. Even when I saw you just now, I only wanted your Source Power, not your life." Hua Yanwang gritted his teeth, thinking that he had only eaten and not spitted in this life, and had never said such soft words. "If you get another half drop of Source Power and carefully comprehend it, you will be close to ascending to the Dao. Just be free and unrestrained as the master of your Spirit Snake Realm. If you explode in the heat of the moment, will you still want to die?"
Somewhere in the words provoked him, but Zhen Shuangliu threw back his head and burst into laughter, his voice reaching the sky. The ghostly light in his eyes shone like fuel, "Even if I searched the entire three thousand worlds, I couldn't find two souls. With such a heavenly way, what's the point of ascending? What's the point of merging with the Dao? What's the point of Zhen Shuangliu keeping this life? To count the waves by the river?!"
He tightened his grip without hesitation.

"Eating meat and meat every day is so unhealthy." At the entrance of the snow cave, Luo Jiujiang pressed down on Xie Chuncan's shoulder and leaped into the air, directly facing the bloody breath of anger spurting out from Hua Biliu. "He used to be a good kid, but now he's been eating and vomiting all the time. He's become stupid."
He had recently received a gift of beads from a senior within the underground palace, and his cultivation had advanced. His spirit was intact and his energy was abundant, so he showed no fear against the powerful alien species. The inky long sword had been with him for many years, and with a single movement, he wielded it like an arm, stirring up a bloody aura, and flung it away with a single ounce of force.
The blade, wrapped in anger, exploded when it landed on the snow. The residual force was several feet deep, and it turned a snow pile into a basin.
The ground was uncovered, and the roots of the plants unique to the snowfield were scattered all over the place. The white roots were exposed in the biting cold wind, shaking like a sieve.
After his attack missed and he was mocked by Luo Jiujiang, Hua Biliu became even angrier. Without saying a word, he charged towards Luo Jiujiang with his huge beast. The shadow cast by its huge body seemed to cover the sky, and the blood dripping from its broken foot was enough for a person to take a bath.
Luo Jiujiang suppressed Xie Chuncan's bow action with his backhand and whispered, "Take care of Xiaoren, I can still handle it." At the same time, he tapped the snow with his toes and floated backwards in the opposite direction of the snow cave, chatting with Hua Biliu about family matters.
"Here, come here, buddy. You've lost too much blood and your brain is oozing out of your veins. You've gone crazy." Luo Jiujiang retreated leisurely, narrowly avoiding Hua Biliu's giant palm that slapped against his clothes several times. However, his face was facing Hua Biliu to prevent him from pulling the same trick again and turning around to cause trouble for Xuedong. "Your mouth isn't just for eating. We can also chat. Ouch, stop it. You're moving too much and your brain is going to fall out."
He could kill off the conversation with gossip like that, let alone the already pissed-off Hua Biliu. Now he no longer cared about Xiao Ren being in the snow cave; in fact, he had almost forgotten about Feng Xue.
Hua Biliu's mind was now filled with only one thought - kill this piece of living meat! Kill this ant!
Luo Jiujiang kept teasing him as he retreated until he was sure they were far enough away from the snow cave. He held the knife across his chest, and the rather frivolous smile on his face slowly faded: "Taotie alien species, quite amazing.
"I wonder if you've ever seen a dragon?"
Seeing that Hua Biliu, who was roaring furiously, paused slightly for these words, Luo Jiujiang smiled slightly.
He had a lot of moves, but few were effective against a foe as formidable as Hua Biliu. Breaking Snowfield was one, but after using it once, he'd probably be dead on arrival. Not breaking through the boundaries would be a waste. But now was a crucial moment. If he couldn't defeat Hua Biliu, and he kept chasing after him, there was no telling when he'd become a crucial thorn in his side.
"I once played with a monkey for half a month and mastered the art of movement. I played with a seven-forked bird for three days and learned to recognize musical rhythms. Although I only saw the dragon for a moment, he and I have been inseparable for a full ten years."
Luo Jiujiang stood up, and his true energy was exerted to the extreme. Even the black blade was humming. Under the sky that was half blood-red and half gray, a faint light flashed silently on the blade of Luo Jiujiang's sword as he faced the strange beast.
"Guess how close I can get to imitating the dragon with this sword?"
At this moment, Luo Jiujiang faced off against Taotie, who was about to enter his growth period.
And if time goes back another half hour, the mature Taotie Lord Hua Yanwang will pass through the Spirit Snake Realm and sense all the little traces of the Tao source of Zhenshuangliu.
