All nine empresses betrayed me, why am I crying after being reborn as a saint?

Inside the ninth gatehouse of the ancient mausoleum, dust was flying as Chen Yuan fought with the giant sky-devouring python.

The torches in the hands of the fat monk and the thin Taoist priest flickered.

"Wow, Brother Chen is really amazing. This sword is so fast that it should be able to pierce into the belly of the Sky-Devouring Python immediately, right?" The fat monk exclaimed in amazement.

"Not necessarily. I feel like Fellow Daoist Chen is looking a little shaky."

The thin Taoist priest held a torch in his hand and took out his three-pointed halberd, ready to fight at any time.

The Sky-Swallowing Python swung its tail and completely avoided Chen Yuan's sneak attack. It said wickedly, "You tiny human being, you still want to hurt me. You are simply courting death."

"Come on then, Sky-Swallowing Python, let's see who is stronger, you or me."

Chen Yuan saw that the body of the Sky-Devouring Python was as thick as a mountain, and its scales were flickering with a cold light under the faint moonlight. His face was solemn but he did not retreat.

He knew it very well and felt that the cultivation level of this Sky-Swallowing Python was probably at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, almost a level five demon beast, which was equivalent to the Divine Transformation stage for immortal cultivators.

At this moment, this is not only a battle of life and death, but also a test of his cultivation results.

He gripped the sword tightly, muttering an ancient spell, and circles of faint blood light began to surround his body. That was the Burning Heaven Blood Curse condensed from his hard training after his rebirth.

The Sky-Devouring Python suddenly launched an attack, baring its fangs, and pounced towards Chen Yuan with its huge body like lightning.

Chen Yuan dodged the fatal blow skillfully with a flash of his body, while swinging his sword at the same time.

The blood light of the Burning Sky Blood Curse turned into a sharp sword light.

This time, the sword light pierced directly into the vital point of the Sky-Swallowing Python.

"Ah, damn humans."

However, the Sky-Devouring Python had thick skin and flesh, and although the sword penetrated deep into its body, it failed to cause fatal damage.

"In that case, don't blame me for summoning my disciples to make sure you die a miserable death."

The giant python that swallowed the sky slightly wagged its tail. Suddenly, a series of subtle and rapid rustling sounds broke the silence, and then a dense group of small snakes emerged from the darkness.

This group of tiny and agile snake shadows, like black lightning, silently emerged from the surrounding grass and dead trees, and quickly surrounded Chen Yuan, the fat monk and the thin Taoist priest.

These little snakes spit out their bright red tongues and make a hissing sound, which is a primitive language mixed with warnings and threats, declaring the inviolability of their territory.

In the ancient mausoleum, the battle inside the ninth gate instantly became fierce.

"Fat monk, thin Taoist priest, you two should be careful. I am facing the Sky Devouring Python now and cannot spare the attention to take care of you."

Chen Yuan was the first to react and quickly reminded the fat monk and the thin Taoist priest.

After all, he didn't want anything to happen to the fat monk and the thin Taoist priest, as he brought them here by himself.

If any of them get hurt in this ancient tomb, it will be their responsibility.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Chen, the fat monk and I are also cultivators at the Nascent Soul level, so we are not afraid of these little snakes."

The thin Taoist nodded quickly.

“No way, this Sky-Swallowing Python can actually summon so many small snakes, they must be his offspring.

The fat monk felt an inexplicable chill creeping up his spine, and hurriedly took out two big hammers and hit the little snake.

"There's no other way. We can only accept the challenge."

The thin Taoist priest took the three-pointed spear and immediately killed a small snake that flew towards him.

Countless small snakes became more and more ferocious as the fight went on, flying towards the fat monk and the thin Taoist priest one after another.

Moreover, each of these little snakes was flashing a faint green or dark yellow light, which was the unique pupil reflection in the night.

Just when the fat monk was about to kill a small snake with a sledgehammer, he noticed a faint green poisonous juice on the ground.

"These snakes are also highly venomous. We have to be careful and not get bitten."

"Well, don't worry."

When the thin Taoist saw those poisonous snakes, he stabbed them fiercely with his three-pointed spear. Suddenly, a group of blood from the stabbed snakes swarmed out, killing many small snakes.

The air was filled with tension and danger.

Chen Yuan seemed to be locked by countless pairs of cold eyes. Every slight movement could trigger a fatal attack from these snakes, and the giant python would entangle Chen Yuan from time to time.

Because he had to take into account the small snakes on the ground and deal with the giant python, Chen Yuan's sweat involuntarily slid down his forehead, dripped onto the dry ground, and was instantly absorbed without a trace.

Chen Yuan remained calm, moving slowly, looking for a possible escape route.

But every time he tried to take a step, the little snakes came closer, their bodies drawing graceful arcs in the air, yet carrying an unquestionable threat.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, and while using his sword to kill all the small snakes that pounced on him, he calmed his inner panic, and various countermeasures flashed quickly through his mind.

"Haha, human monk, you are surrounded by these snakes of mine, so just surrender."

The sky-devouring python crawled over nonchalantly.

"Stop talking nonsense. Now that I'm here today, I will fight you to the death."

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he relied on his agility and profound cultivation to engage in a fierce battle with the Sky-Devouring Python.

Sometimes he hid at the edge of the coffin, using the terrain advantage to launch a surprise attack; sometimes he teleported behind the Sky-Swallowing Python, using the back-dodge technique to avoid the Sky-Swallowing Python's pursuit.

The Sky-Devouring Python relied on its huge body and amazing strength to continuously launch fierce attacks on Chen Yuan. Every impact made the ninth gate tremble.

In this seemingly unequal contest of strength, Chen Yuan gradually found the weakness of the Sky-Devouring Python.

He concentrated all his spiritual power, raised the sword high above his head, and stabbed at the eyes and head of the giant python.

The Sky-Devouring Python was unable to dodge and was hit in one eye.

At the same time, before the Sky-Swallowing Python had time to react.

"Heaven-Burning Blood Curse, release!"

With Chen Yuan's deafening roar, blood burst out and turned into a dazzling beam of light, which directly pierced through the huge body of the Sky-Devouring Python.

"Ah, damn human, I will self-destruct and make you die miserably!"

The giant sky-devouring python let out a shrill wail, and its huge body twisted on the ground, raising clouds of dust.

The Sky-Devouring Python slowly fell down, and the inner elixir in its body exploded violently in an instant. The entire huge snake's body suddenly exploded, causing the ground to raise dust.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan hurriedly cast a blood curse shield to block the explosion in front of him, but the entire ancient mausoleum was about to collapse. For a moment, dust was flying and Chen Yuan's figure could not be seen clearly.

The small snakes that were densely packed on the ground saw the giant Sky-Devouring Python being severely injured by Chen Yuan and exploded, while the ancient tomb was shaking, and many small snakes were crushed to death.

For a moment, the surviving little snakes were frightened and fled in all directions.

"Oh no! This damn Sky-Swallowing Python might explode. Let's run."

When the fat monk heard the giant python saying that it was preparing to self-destruct, he immediately shouted towards Chen Yuan.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, please come back quickly. Let's run."
