The scene at the moment was rather dazzling—

Only to see Xu Ran’s nine small figures standing beneath the gigantic snake-shaped bone creature, with a sudden burst of golden light, as if rounds upon rounds of brilliant scorching suns descending upon this verdant valley.

The light was dazzling and eye-catching!

And within this golden light, the nine avatars emerged like invincible War Gods stepping out of a mist, each small figure emanating an overwhelming pressure, with stern faces and eyes that seemed to twinkle with starlight.

The nine avatars stood in uniform alignment in place, and these nine streams of golden light seemed to want to tear apart this valley, crushing everything within a kilometer radius to dust!

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

...

At the moment Xu Ran’s nine figures came into contact with the nine snake-shaped bone creatures, a crisp sound of fracturing resounded through the previously silent valley, leading one’s gaze to follow the sound.

The point of contact between the giant snake bone and Xu Ran showed cracks, and the speed at which the cracks spread was exceedingly fast; within just a moment, the cracks, like a spider weaving a web, covered the entire body of the snake-shaped bone creature.

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

...

At the same time, the nine snake-shaped bone creatures discovered that extreme pain was emanating from all over their bodies. The snakeheads, which originally faced away from Xu Ran, rotated 180 degrees to witness the crack spreading like a spider weaving a web, their hollow eye sockets flickering rapidly with an eerie green flame, as if in great unease.

If it were only the white bones appearing cracked, it wouldn’t be too severe, considering that their bodies at this moment were a collection of white bones.

However, the eerie green runes attached to the white bones began to slowly dissipate, like ink being wiped away with a cloth, vanishing without a trace.

Though these nine Snake Demons didn’t know how many years they had been dead, the instincts engraved in their bones prompted them to immediately make a decision and distance their bodies from those nine small figures.

Immediately.

The still-intact eerie green runes inside the nine snake-shaped bone creatures flared, rendering their white bones exceedingly strange, as if manifested from the Netherworld.

These remaining eerie green runes, like being driven, climbed upwards continuously from the snake tail, and in a short period, the snake heads, which were originally pristine white, were covered with eerie green runes, while the remaining areas returned to their initial whiteness.

As the eerie green runes transferred, the areas below the snake heads appeared to lose gravity and fell to the ground, except for the snake tails in contact with Xu Ran’s nine figures.

Once all this was done, the nine snake heads attempted to flee from this place. The methods revealed by Xu Ran were truly bizarre, capable of erasing the eerie green runes on their white bones.

This valley was their home ground; resting for a moment could allow them to regroup.

Suddenly, the nine eerie green snake heads burst with light, as countless eerie green mist erupted from their bodies, enveloping the remaining snake heads, intent on fleeing this place.

"Hmph!" Xu Ran scoffed, easily discerning their intentions, and coldly laughed, "Trying to escape?"

This voice echoed through the valley like the tolling of a great bell, carrying an undeniable authority and chilling murderous intent.

Before the voice faded, golden light resurfaced on the nine figures, illuminating the entire eerie green valley completely; the golden light slowly extended from the arms, enveloping the snake tails, accompanied by an irresistible attractive force, attaching onto the snake tails and forming small golden vortices.

The nine snake-shaped bone creatures, just about to break off their tails and flee, suddenly felt an incredibly terrifying suction from behind. When they turned to look, they discovered that the tails they had abandoned emitted dazzling golden light, covered with small golden vortices that tightly anchored the nine snake-shaped bone creatures in place, rendering escape impossible.

The eerie green flames in their eye sockets flickered continuously, revealing extreme anxiety.

"Came here and want to run? As if it’s that simple?!"

Nine indifferent voices rose slowly, with an invisible pressure spreading to every corner of the valley, where the already sparse trees were uprooted like fragile toothpicks, and massive stones were flung skyward by the invisible pressure, scattering in all directions.

To the ears of the nine snake-shaped bone creatures, this voice was akin to whispers from Hell. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

In an instant.

The nine figures began to tremble incessantly, and the remaining eerie green mist in the valley also began to shake until it disappeared completely.

As the eerie green mist in the valley completely dissipated, the eight small figures glowing with golden light merged into their original form.

A wave-like golden energy surged from Xu Ran’s body, reverberating through every corner of the valley, with dazzling golden light emitting from his eyes.

This pressure swept across the valley, making the nine snake-shaped bone creatures’ snake heads, already bound, tremble uncontrollably as they gazed at the small figure, with the eerie green flames in their eye sockets flickering without pause.

Although their cognition was exceedingly low, with only instincts guiding all their actions, the fear rooted in their bones manifested everywhere promptly.

At this moment.

The aura of the Innate Saint’s Sacred Body burst forth completely from Xu Ran, instantly suppressing the nine snake-shaped bone creatures, rendering them immobile, unable even to turn their heads.

The Peregrine Falcon, positioned in a safe area, trembled incessantly, despite being Xu Ran’s Spirit Pet, but that instinctual fear caused it to shiver involuntarily.
