"Fiery Sun Technique."
Ancestor Long Yan stood on the fire lotus seat, his whole body wrapped in rich solar power, as if the scorching sun was descending to the world.
The Sky-Swallowing Python twisted its huge body that covered the sky and the sun, and its inky scales flickered with a cold light under the light from the hall.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss~”
The Sky-Swallowing Python's spirit was swallowing and spitting out wildly, and the black poisonous mist spewing out of its mouth rushed towards Ancestor Long Yan like a tide. Wherever the poisonous mist passed, the space seemed to be corroded and distorted.
"Evil beast!"
Ancestor Long Yan had a stern expression and quickly formed seals with his hands. The flames on the fire lotus seat suddenly surged, forming a huge wall of fire that blocked the poisonous fog out.
The poisonous fog and the fire wall collided violently, making a "sizzling" sound. The black fog and the golden flames intertwined, emitting a pungent smell.
Immediately afterwards, the Sky-Swallowing Python's long tail lashed out again like an iron whip, at such a fast speed that the air made a sharp whistling sound.
Ancestor Long Yan flashed and instantly appeared at the side of the Sky-Swallowing Python. In his hand, he condensed a flaming long sword made of the power of the sun god and slashed fiercely at the python's tail.
With a "crack", a piece of scale was cut off from the extremely tough python's tail. Dark green blood splashed out and fell on the ground, instantly corroding large pits on the ground.
“Ahhh…”
The Sky-Swallowing Python felt pain and let out an earth-shaking roar, and the entire hall shook violently.
"Swallow the sky."
It opened its bloody mouth, and a black beam of light containing endless dark power shot towards Ancestor Long Yan.
"Ancestor's blessing."
Elder Long Yan raised his hands, his face full of piety.
Suddenly, a shadow of the Sun God condensed in his blood behind him.
"The Seal of Annihilation."
He formed seals with his hands, and the phantom of the Sun God also made the same movement. A beam of blazing sunlight shot out from the phantom's hands and collided head-on with the black light column.
In an instant, the light became brighter and the entire hall was filled with two completely different forces.
The golden sunlight beams and the black dark light columns were in a stalemate. The light and darkness were constantly eroding each other. The powerful energy fluctuations caused the walls of the hall to peel off, revealing deep cracks.
However, the Sky-Swallowing Python was eventually defeated by Patriarch Long Yan's solar power.
After another collision, its body began to tremble violently, and dark green blood continued to flow out of the wounds on its body.
Just as it was about to retreat, suddenly a sharp cry was heard from the sky, and a group of Golden Crows were seen flying from the sky, each of them with blazing Golden Crow Fire burning all over its body, like small suns flying rapidly towards the Sun Palace.
"Fellow Daoist Tuntian, my Golden Crow clan is here to support us."
The Golden Crow clan instantly joined the battlefield and together with the Sky-Swallowing Python, launched an attack on ancestor Long Yan.
A gigantic golden crow spread its wings, flapping them and creating rolling waves of golden crow fire, rushing towards ancestor Long Yan.
At the same time, the Sky-Swallowing Python also gathered its spirits again, twisted its body, coordinated with the Golden Crow's attack, and suddenly attacked Ancestor Long Yan from below.
"Humph, the descendant of the dignified Golden Crow God King has fallen to such a state. It is simply a disgrace to your ancestors!"
Ancestor Long Yan showed no fear when facing the attack from both sides.
He exerted the power of the sun to its extreme, and the Fire Lotus Seat shone brightly, forming a huge golden light shield with itself as the center, which blocked the attacks of the Golden Crow Fire Waves and the Sky-Devouring Python.
The light shield collided with the Golden Crow's fire waves, making a "booming" sound. The golden and red lights intertwined with each other, like a gorgeous and dangerous firework.
"Hahaha!" The Golden Crow ancestor raised his head and laughed wildly. The laughter was like rumbling thunder, echoing in the already messy hall.
His eyes seemed to be filled with poison as he shot them at Long Yan in a teasing manner. The corners of his mouth raised a mocking arc as he spoke slowly:
"Long Yan, Long Yan, have you ever thought about why the Sun God Clan is declining step by step under your leadership?"
Without waiting for Long Yan's response, he continued to speak with disdain in his tone: "It's all because you are too pedantic!"
There was a cold light in the eyes of the Golden Crow Patriarch, as if he was looking at a hopeless fool. "In this conflict among all races where the strong prey on the weak, pedantry is the biggest cancer of the race, and you are the fatal cause."
He paused for a moment, as if he still felt that he was not relieved enough, and then he said more emphatically: "You just cling to your so-called face, but you don't know what use a little face is in this cruel world?"
"As long as our clan can stand firm among the myriad clans, what means can't be used? What bottom line can't be broken?"
“After today, no matter how glorious your Sun God Clan was in the past, no one will remember it. Only my Golden Crow Clan will be remembered by the world.”
When Long Yan heard the words of the Golden Crow Ancestor, his body trembled slightly, the anger on his face froze instantly, and then he slowly lowered his head and fell into a long silence.
"You're right. In this world where the strong are respected, there really shouldn't be any pedantry."
He had to admit that what the Golden Crow Patriarch said was not without reason.
In this cruel world of conflict among countless races, blindly adhering to so-called principles and face may really put the race into a desperate situation.
But he, Long Yan, has been influenced by the ancient heritage of the Sun God Clan since birth, and the morality and dignity in his heart have long been deeply rooted.
Asking him to abandon these and do things that go against his true nature would be as painful as asking him to dig out his own soul.
He knew very well that if he really used all means possible like the Golden Crow Ancestor, even if he could gain temporary strength, the Sun God Clan would lose the most precious thing and become the object of contempt by all races.
Thinking of this, Long Yan slowly raised his head, the confusion and struggle in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by an incomparably determined light.
