Chapter 369: Chapter 369: So Death is Such Bliss

Shi Feng stepped in front of Zi Ya, and his own face confronted Zi Ya’s increasingly purple-scaled face. In an instant, Shi Feng’s Soul Power activated, and his invisible soul forcefully surged into Zi Ya’s brow, entering her soul.

Shi Feng felt that he was instantly enveloped in darkness, an endless, boundless darkness. Following this, memories flickered like a movie in the dark—the memory fragments of Zi Ya, the Snake-man Clan Girl.

However, Shi Feng did not look at Zi Ya’s memory fragments. Everyone has their secrets. What he needed to do now was to locate Zi Ya’s soul within the soul space and find the Purple Serpent Body in this soul space.

Shi Feng’s Soul Power immediately spread out in all directions. Soon after, Shi Feng sensed a soul fluctuation coming from the darkness. "Over there!" With a low shout, Shi Feng’s soul moved, swiftly darting toward the area of the soul fluctuation in the dark.

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

As Shi Feng approached the area of the soul fluctuation, the hissing of a giant snake came along with it.

In his swift approach, Shi Feng soon saw a massive Purple Serpent coiling in the dark void ahead. Besides its enormous body, the serpent had a fierce and frightening head, sharp purple horns, and was covered in palm-sized purple scales. In appearance, it was identical to the Purple Giant Serpent Zi Ya had transformed into initially.

At that moment, the Purple Serpent opened its maw, revealing a vast, deep black hole along with two rows of door-sized, sword-like, sharp and fierce white teeth, emitting a cold, chilling gleam.

Shi Feng scanned the massive purple serpent, searching for Zi Ya’s soul. Then, Shi Feng saw a tiny body entwined within it, which in comparison to the huge serpent, looked like an ant.

"Zi Ya!" Seeing Zi Ya’s soul, seeing her soul filled with pain, Shi Feng even felt extremely weak. He hurriedly shot toward the massive Purple Serpent. Fortunately, he had entered this girl’s soul space. With her soul’s condition, she had no chance of contending with the massive Purple Serpent. If it continued like this, her soul would eventually be consumed by the serpent, allowing it to take over her body.

"No! You can’t do this!" As Shi Feng rushed toward the massive Purple Serpent, he suddenly heard the tiny entwined body issue a resentful and furious roar.

Then, a dark light flashed on Zi Ya’s body. If Shi Feng was not mistaken, this dark light from Zi Ya was the power of the Six-Star Dark Ancient Array. Under the dark light, the massive Purple Serpent seemed to be provoked, bellowing fiercely, as if its body suffered intense agony, trembling massively.

But immediately afterward, the massive Purple Serpent’s body also flashed with dark light, and its aura climbed rapidly. When Shi Feng had first arrived, the Purple Serpent’s strength was comparable to the Peak of Nine-star Martial Emperor. Now, under the influence of the dark light, it possessed the Power of Martial Sect.

The power of the Six-Star Dark Ancient Array had been activated, and it was initially intended to stimulate the latent power of the Purple Serpent Body inside Zi Ya. Although Zi Ya absorbed the power of the Dark Six-Star Ancient Array, the main target was the Purple Serpent Body. Currently, the dark light emitted by the Purple Serpent Body was several times stronger than Zi Ya’s. The dark light around Zi Ya was quickly overshadowed by the giant Purple Serpent.

"It seems that old thing either really doesn’t know or is lying to me, once the ancient formation is activated, it will stimulate the Purple Serpent within Zi Ya. This Purple Serpent’s power will continue to grow stronger, engaging it like this is just tantamount to completely taking over this girl’s body! And this girl simply can’t control this Purple Serpent, let alone obtain its power," Shi Feng stated coldly, then immediately a soul attack, the Nine Nether Soul-Shocking Seal, thundered towards the Purple Serpent.

The power of the Purple Serpent was continuously climbing, and it was unclear when it would reach its limit. It had to be destroyed immediately. Shi Feng didn’t care about their Snake-man Race’s ancient god avatar or how crucial the Purple Serpent Body was to the Snake-man Clan; Shi Feng just wanted to completely annihilate this evil serpent that was harming his friend!

"Roar!" A roar resounded through the entire dark space, echoing like the howl of a fierce beast. Under the Seventh-stage Soul Power and the Nine Nether Soul-Shocking Seal, the giant purple snake screamed in agony, its snake face showing extreme pain, and its huge body, shimmering with dark light, started convulsing violently.

Meanwhile, seizing this moment, Shi Feng’s soul swiftly flew onto the giant snake, embracing Zi Ya’s soul in his arms, and shot upwards.

Loosened from the tight embrace of the Purple Serpent, Zi Ya immediately came to her senses. Realizing she was being held by someone shooting upwards, Zi Ya turned to look at the person beside her, startlingly trembling as she said, "Brother... Brother Shi Feng! Is... is it really you?"

All of this made Zi Ya feel as if she was dreaming, all seemed so surreal, "How could it be, how could it be you, this... this must be a dream.

I heard that when people are about to die, they see hallucinations, seeing the person they most want to see, doing what they most wish to do. Could it be that I’m really about to die? It must be so, I’ve already seen the person I most wanted to see, being tightly embraced by him, this is all I ever wished for."

Afterward, a blissful smile unconsciously spread across Zi Ya’s face, at this moment, she truly felt she was fortunate, it turned out that being close to death was such a blissful thing!

"What are you thinking, girl! At a time like this, you can still manage to smile!" At that moment, Shi Feng glanced at the girl giggling in his arms and spoke out. Unexpectedly, at such a critical moment, even when her soul might be devoured, she could still afford to smile.

Shi Feng once again sensed that the aura of the evil purple serpent had climbed further. At this moment, the purple evil serpent had reached at least the sect level of three stars, like a bottomless pit, having no limit.

"Ah, you!" Zi Ya quickly gasped in shock. He could actually speak, and his words were so clear, so realistic, and he, in front of her eyes, was so real.

Just then, Shi Feng’s expression tightened again, regaining its solemnity, he lowly shouted, "Nine Nether Soul-Shocking Seal!"

The evil purple serpent, having just recovered from Shi Feng’s soul attack, gaped its wide mouth and lunged at Shi Feng and Zi Ya. Shi Feng’s soul attack, the Nine Nether Soul-Shocking Seal, thundered once again towards the giant snake.

"Hiss!"
