Chapter 396: Half-Saint? Nothing Special!

Chapter 396: Half-Saint? Nothing Special!

The endless void is very different from the Dou Qi Continent. The environment is extremely harsh, dark, and desolate. Sometimes, there are even chaotic void currents hidden within it. Ordinary void currents are life-threatening for anyone below the Dou Zun level. Even for some Dou Zun experts, dealing with stronger void currents can be quite a hassle.

In the pitch-black, desolate void, a silver lightning bolt suddenly appeared, transforming into a figure. The figure spread out its soul perception to determine its direction and then flew off into the distance.

After a while, Xiao Ze suddenly furrowed his brows. To be safe, he had left a trace of his spiritual power in the void where he had entered.

"This Dou Qi fluctuation doesn't seem to have truly stepped into the Dou Sheng level, but it's much stronger than someone who's just entered the Half-Saint level... Could it be a high-level Half-Saint?" Xiao Ze thought to himself. As long as it wasn't a true Dou Sheng, he didn't have much to fear. After all, he was also on the path to becoming a Dou Sheng, and in terms of combat strength, he wasn't afraid of a Half-Saint.

With a thought, Xiao Ze condensed a lightning body with the strength of a nine-star Dou Zun. He decided to investigate further instead of acting rashly.

...

In the void, a white-bearded elder with a grim expression suddenly appeared. He was the Third Elder of the Nine Nether Earth Python clan, a powerful high-level Half-Saint for over a hundred years! In the clan, his strength was second only to the Clan Leader and the First and Second Elders.

Now, he had tracked down the culprit causing havoc for the Nine Nether Earth Python clan. The Third Elder was confident he could capture this person!

"Hmph, in this endless void, it's even harder to hide one's presence. I want to see where you can run to!" The elder's eyes transformed into snake-like vertical pupils, his gaze like lightning, quickly locking onto a direction.

His figure then turned into a yellowish light, streaking through the void, leaving faint yellowish crystals in his wake. These crystals were condensed from a unique type of Dou Qi.

The Third Elder's speed was astonishing, crossing several miles in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, a silver light appeared in the void, catching the Third Elder's attention.

In the pitch-black void, this silver light was extremely eye-catching!

"No matter your intentions, daring to provoke the Nine Nether Earth Python clan will cost you dearly!" The Third Elder gathered yellowish light in his palm and struck toward the silver light.

In an instant, the light condensed into a massive yellowish crystal several hundred feet wide. This yellowish crystal, with its extremely cold and sinister aura, spread rapidly towards the silver light!

Looking closely, a massive yellowish ice crystal appeared in the void, stretching for miles. Although the yellowish crystal didn't look impressive, its power was extraordinary! It passed through a void current, shattering it instantly.

Xiao Ze, multi-tasking, focused his mind on the lightning body. He was now very adept at controlling the lightning body, easily handling it. As his soul perception swept over, he saw the yellowish crystal approaching.

Xiao Ze raised an eyebrow. The crystal's power was so formidable that even physically strong magical beasts wouldn't choose to take it head-on. Its power could easily crush a mountain!

However, Xiao Ze smiled instead of dodging. He didn't run; instead, he charged toward the yellowish crystal.

Boom!

The lightning body collided with the yellowish crystal, the sound of thunder rolling and crackling. The lightning body shattered into countless tiny lightning snakes, reversing direction. Silver arcs of lightning danced on the yellowish crystal, moving towards the Nine Nether Earth Python Half-Saint!

The Third Elder, seeing the silver lightning arcs coming towards him, felt underestimated and his face darkened.

"Relying on the power of lightning to challenge a Half-Saint? If you seek death, I'll oblige!" The Third Elder's aura erupted, and the vast Dou Qi around him formed a yellowish flow. He turned his palm into a fist and struck the yellowish crystal. The crystal cracked and exploded!

On one end of the yellowish crystal was a continuous stream of silver lightning arcs; on the other, the yellowish Dou Qi exploded furiously. The resulting energy created powerful space currents, shredding the previous void current to pieces, turning it into nothingness.

Xiao Ze, controlling the lightning power, was slightly surprised by the Half-Saint's method. The yellowish crystal wasn't simple; it had follow-up techniques. Besides its raw power, it could also be infused with Dou Qi and forcibly detonated.

The cold, sinister energy within the yellowish crystal would trouble even an average Half-Saint. If forcibly detonated, its destructive power would be immense!

Xiao Ze didn't value the lightning body much; it was meant to test the Half-Saint's strength. So, seeing such a powerful move, he didn't think of countering with the lightning body. The silver lightning arcs were annihilated by the yellowish crystal's explosion, not just because of the explosion's power but also due to the extremely cold, sinister energy within the crystal, which even the violent lightning couldn't withstand.

"Huh?"

The Third Elder was momentarily stunned by how easily he destroyed the lightning. After a closer look, his face darkened. The lightning was just a Dou Technique?!

The Third Elder had sensed the opponent's soul power and Dou Qi and assumed it was the person himself. But it turned out to be just a Dou Technique!

Realizing he had wasted so much effort on a mere Dou Technique, the Third Elder was filled with anger and humiliation.

"Arrogant fool, if I don't kill you today, I won't rest!" the Third Elder roared in fury.

"Heh, is the Nine Nether Earth Python's Half-Saint only good at bluffing?" Xiao Ze's figure suddenly appeared nearby, shrouded in a black cloak, concealing his presence.

"Bluffing? Today, I'll show you that a Half-Saint is still a Saint!" the Third Elder said.

"Is that so? To me, a Half-Saint is nothing special," Xiao Ze replied calmly.

After testing with the lightning body, Xiao Ze's impression of the Half-Saint was clear. At least, this Nine Nether Earth Python elder felt unimpressive to him.
