Immortal Cultivating Dynasty

"No, I have to go ashore first. That thing is too strange."    

He gritted his teeth and thought to himself. He maintained a vigilant posture and slowly floated upwards. However, things did not go according to his wishes. After rising for a while, a black shadow appeared above him again.    

Yang Xuan's heart sank. The broadsword in his hand suddenly glowed with a red light and slashed at the black shadow.    

In his body, wisps of red Spiritual Force that had just been cultivated were pulled out. On the large blade, scorching hot air was gushing out continuously. Heat waves rippled out, and even the surrounding multicolored light was stirred up.    

The black shadow was also rushing towards him, and unexpectedly bumped into the large blade.    

"Clang!"    

A trembling sound that carried a faint echo was heard. The huge blade buzzed endlessly, and nearly slipped out of his hand. Yang Xuan hurriedly inserted a few Spiritual Force into it, and only then did he manage to stabilize it with great difficulty.    

Raising his head, he saw a fist-sized hole on the surface of the red blade. There were even a few thin cracks that spread out. The entire blade seemed as if it would collapse at any time.    

However, there was nothing in front of the large blade.    

"What a powerful thing."    

Yang Xuan frowned and put the saber back into the storage bag. It was already so damaged that it could no longer be used. Magical treasures were not like ordinary weapons. Once the patterns were destroyed, it would be no different from scrap metal. It would not be able to hold the Spirit Aura.    

After hesitating for a moment, he took out the small wooden sword from his waist. After a while, he put it back.    

This wooden sword was extremely important to him. It was the foundation of the Flame Separation Spell's cultivation. Once it was damaged, his cultivation would be hindered.    

The circulation of the silver shield was on its own. It basically did not need to consume his Spirit Aura. Yang Xuan simply rushed up with all his strength, wanting to return to the shore as soon as possible.    

The creature that attacked him had an extremely strange movement. Unless it appeared in front of him, he would not be able to discover it in advance. Not to mention counterattacking, staying here for a long time would be very easy for him to suffer a loss.    

Furthermore, to be able to destroy a large saber and magic treasure with a single strike, it could be seen how powerful it was. Facing it, he did not have the confidence either.    

"Hiss!"    

Just as he was about to use all his strength to float upwards, a soft sound suddenly rang out by his ear.    

"Not good!"    

Yang Xuan was shocked. In the blink of an eye, the silver shield had shifted to the top of his head.    

A huge impact was heard, and the silver shield fell down along with him.    

Before he could recover from this sudden change, another few collisions came from above. They all hit the silver shield. Although it did not break through, it made him sink nearly a hundred meters deep.    

Yang Xuan gritted his teeth and released the Spiritual Force from his body. It formed a thin film outside the silver shield. Although it could not block the opponent's attack, it gave him some time to catch his breath.    

His body gradually stabilized. After being repeatedly struck, a faint glow appeared on the silver shield. Its defensive strength increased greatly and reduced the impact that spread out by more than half.    

Yang Xuan was stunned. He did not expect the small silver shield to have such an ability.    

But now was not the time to study. After stopping his body, he shrunk the silver shield a little and saw the scene in front of him.    

The thing that kept hitting the small shield was a snake as thick as an arm. The snake's body was black and its eyes and tongue were golden. Its body was swimming in the light and its speed was extremely fast.    

On its head, there were two small protrusions. They were only the size of a thumb, and the scales there were slightly broken, as if they had been broken by the protrusions.    

"That is... a horn?"    

Yang Xuan was shocked. The two protrusions were too conspicuous, they were on both sides of its head.    

He had read many books today, and there were some stories within them. The current scene was extremely similar to the situation described in the books.    

"Snakes have two horns, is this a dragon transformation? Is there really such a thing in this world? Or is it just a coincidence?"    

He stood rooted to the ground in shock.    

He had always liked to read the various interesting stories in the ancient books, but most of them were just stories. He had read them once and would not take them seriously. However, the scene before him was exactly the same as what was described on the ancient books.    

Other than the two protrusions on the top of the black snake's head, there were also lumps on its body that protruded in all four directions. It looked extremely strange, as if it had become abnormal.    

Yang Xuan looked at the black snake in front of him with a shocked expression. For a moment, he had forgotten the situation he was in.    

"Hiss!"    

The black snake spat out its golden tongue at him. Then, it turned into a black ray of light and rushed towards him.    

Yang Xuan regained his senses and with a thought, the silver shield expanded and completely covered his body. However, the black snake was much smarter this time. Instead of putting it on, its body flashed in the air. It bypassed the silver shield and rushed over from the side.    

However, the silver shield was controlled according to one's will. No matter how fast the black snake was, it could not be faster than Yang Xuan's reaction.    

"Boom!"    

A dull sound was heard, and the silver shield trembled violently.    

Yang Xuan looked out and saw that there was no longer a shadow of the black snake outside the silver shield.    

"Not good!"    

He was shocked and immediately raised his vigilance.    

Although that black snake only knew how to use its physical body to ram into it, its body seemed to have merged with the surrounding multicolored light, making it impossible to sense it. Once it pulled away, he had to be vigilant at all times.    

With the impact of the black snake, once it was struck, even if its body was protected by the Spiritual Force, it would still be penetrated.    

In this multicolored light filled with mountain and river essence, being penetrated was basically equivalent to death. Endless essence would instantly flow into his body, causing his meridians and dantian to explode. There was no way for him to survive.    

"Hiss!"    

A black shadow suddenly streaked across the top of his head, startling him and causing his body to sink several meters.    

"This won't do. It's basically impossible to bring that guy back to shore."    

He gritted his teeth, feeling a little distressed in his heart.    

The opponent only knew how to use pure physical attacks. As long as he was vigilant enough, it would be very difficult to bypass the silver shield and attack him. However, the silver shield could not completely neutralize the power of the black snake, and his body would also be affected.    

After the strange black snake retreated, the light on the shield's surface had already gradually dissipated. As long as the other party attacked him a few times, his body would be sent flying uncontrollably.    

"Forget it, if I can't return to the shore, can't I go down to the bottom?!"    

Yang Xuan thought to himself. It was not possible to continue wasting time like this. He simply controlled his body and quickly sank down.    

Somewhere in the light above him, a small black snake quietly floated there. Its vertical golden pupils looked in the direction where Yang Xuan sank. After a while, it slowly followed.    

It was surrounded by colorful light. It had been sinking for hundreds of meters, but there was still no sign of the bottom. The light was still there, and the surrounding scenery remained the same.    

Yang Xuan frowned more and more. Light flashed on his right hand, and the Spiritual Force gathered, ready to welcome any sudden change.
