Thousand-Year Blue Vine Serpent
Cold moonlight filtered through the ancient trees of Star Dou Forest.
The surrounding forest remained eerily quiet after the death of the Shadow Panther.
Fresh blood slowly spread across the ground.
Meanwhile—
Lin Yuan calmly stood beneath moonlight while holding the Starry Sky Sword loosely in one hand.
His expression remained thoughtful.
The sword martial soul’s offensive power genuinely exceeded expectations.
Especially when combined with:
body cultivation sword intent seed
Blue Silver Emperor perception
His combat strength had risen tremendously.
Most importantly—
He finally possessed true killing capability now.
Lin Yuan slowly dispersed the Starry Sky Sword.
Silver-blue light quietly vanished into his body.
Then—
His Blue Silver Emperor martial soul emerged once more within his palm.
The faint blue-golden grass gently swayed beneath moonlight.
Compared to the cold sharpness of the sword—
Blue Silver Emperor felt vastly different.
Warm.
Ancient.
Full of vitality.
Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Future battles should ideally combine both martial souls.
Blue Silver Emperor: control battlefield.
Starry Sky Sword: deliver killing strikes.
Perfect balance.
At that moment—
The system notification quietly appeared once more.
Target Detected: 1000-Year Blue Vine Serpent
Estimated Distance: 17 kilometers southeast
Current Threat Evaluation: Moderate-High
Lin Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly.
Finally found it.
Without hesitation—
He immediately began moving through the forest.
The deeper he traveled—
The denser the vegetation became.
Massive ancient trees towered overhead while vines filled the surrounding environment.
Spirit beast presence also gradually intensified.
Occasionally—
Lin Yuan sensed dangerous auras hidden within distant darkness.
Fortunately—
His Blue Silver Emperor martial soul naturally possessed strong affinity with plant environments.
Most low-level spirit beasts instinctively avoided him after sensing the faint emperor aura.
Several hours later—
Lin Yuan finally stopped near a swamp-like region.
The surrounding air felt damp and cold.
Countless thick vines intertwined around giant trees.
Poisonous mist faintly floated nearby.
Lin Yuan quietly crouched atop a tree branch while observing below. Find the original chapter at g.com.
Then—
His eyes narrowed sharply.
A massive blue-scaled serpent slowly moved through the swamp beneath moonlight.
Its body exceeded fifteen meters long.
Dark blue vines naturally wrapped around its scales like armor.
Most importantly—
A faint thousand-year spirit beast pressure spread from its body.
1000-Year Blue Vine Serpent.
Exactly the target described by the system.
Lin Yuan silently observed it carefully.
Unlike ordinary snakes—
This spirit beast possessed extremely powerful regenerative vitality.
Its vines could:
entangle prey inject paralytic poison absorb life force Very troublesome opponent.
Especially for beginner spirit masters.
At that moment—
The serpent suddenly raised its head slightly.
Its cold pupils scanned surrounding darkness carefully.
Lin Yuan immediately restrained aura completely.
Several seconds later—
The serpent slowly relaxed again.
Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
Its perception ability was strong.
A direct frontal battle would prove dangerous.
Especially because: he still possessed no spirit ring yet.
Although his physique surpassed ordinary Spirit Masters—
A thousand-year spirit beast remained terrifying.
Then slowly—
A faint smile appeared on Lin Yuan’s face.
Good.
This made things interesting.
The next moment—
Blue Silver Emperor quietly appeared around his surroundings.
Countless ordinary Blue Silver Grass hidden throughout nearby forest instantly began moving silently.
Like invisible hunters.
Meanwhile—
Far below.
The Blue Vine Serpent continued resting beside the swamp completely unaware.
Then—
Rustle.
The serpent’s pupils instantly narrowed.
Dozens of Blue Silver Grass vines suddenly erupted upward from beneath swamp waters.
The serpent roared furiously.
Boom!
Its massive tail instantly shattered several vines apart.
Yet—
More grass rapidly wrapped around surrounding trees and ground. This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
Restricting movement.
The serpent violently twisted while destroying everything nearby.
At that moment—
Silver-blue light flashed through darkness.
Star Trace.
Lin Yuan instantly appeared above the serpent’s head.
The Starry Sky Sword slashed downward coldly.
Shing!
Sparks erupted alongside blood.
The serpent roared painfully after scales near its neck split open slightly.
However—
Lin Yuan’s expression changed subtly.
Its defense exceeded expectations.
The next second—
The serpent suddenly lunged upward viciously.
Its enormous jaws snapped toward Lin Yuan instantly.
Fast.
Extremely fast.
Lin Yuan immediately retreated backward.
Boom!
The giant tree behind him exploded apart completely.
Wood fragments scattered everywhere.
Lin Yuan landed lightly atop another branch while narrowing his eyes.
Dangerous.
One mistake here truly could cripple or kill him.
Meanwhile—
The Blue Vine Serpent became fully enraged now.
Its vines spread wildly throughout surrounding swamp region.
Poison mist gradually thickened.
The entire battlefield slowly transformed into the serpent’s territory.
Lin Yuan calmly observed everything.
Then slowly smiled.
Trying to compete in control against Blue Silver Emperor?
Interesting choice.
The next moment—
An enormous amount of Blue Silver Grass suddenly erupted across the surrounding forest simultaneously.
Like an endless ocean.
The faint blue-golden aura spread outward silently.
At that moment—
The surrounding plants actually began resonating faintly with Lin Yuan.
The Blue Vine Serpent’s movements visibly slowed slightly.
Its instincts suddenly sensed pressure.
Suppression.
Bloodline suppression.
Although weak—
The Blue Silver Emperor aura still naturally restrained plant-type spirit beasts.
Lin Yuan’s eyes immediately brightened slightly.
As expected.
This battle…
Just became much easier.
To be continued….
