Chapter 370: Chapter 370 Nine Nether Soul Fire

Shi Feng still did not understand much about the secrets of the Snake-man Race and Zi Ya. Why had they sealed the Purple Serpent inside Zi Ya’s body? If the Purple Serpent were to occupy Zi Ya’s body after awakening its power, how would the Snake-Man Race suppress or compel the serpent to work for them? The serpent’s incarnation had no Spiritual Wisdom and behaved like a fierce beast. Even though Zi Ya belonged to the Snake-man Race, there was no trace of mercy in their treatment of her.

If the Purple Serpent were to awaken its power, the threat it posed to the Snake-man Race could be as formidable as that of the Demon Eye. There was a chance that the Snake-man Race might even face extinction.

"Hiss!" As the giant purple serpent opened its wide mouth and lunged at Shi Feng and Zi Ya, suddenly it was struck by Shi Feng’s Nine Nether Soul-Shaking Seal. The attack seemed even more violent than before, causing the serpent to roar and its massive body, which hovered like a mountain in the dark space, to tremble violently as if it had lost all its strength and plummet into the eternal darkness.

Zi Ya, watching the giant purple serpent fall into the endless darkness, then turned back to look at the man beside her, the one she had longed for, and could hardly believe this was real.

No, this wasn’t right! This was her soul space; how could he possibly appear here?

But before Zi Ya could ponder further, "Roar!" another loud roar echoed as the purple serpent that had just fallen surged upward again, now appearing below Shi Feng and Zi Ya. Like a purple dragon soaring into the sky, it opened its vast mouth again, baring its fierce, enormous teeth and lunged at Zi Ya.

"Nine Nether Soul Fire!" Shi Feng, maintaining a calm demeanor and gazing downward, saw the Purple Serpent reappear. Between his brows, a fierce white flame suddenly ignited, burning fiercely towards the giant purple serpent below.

At this moment, Shi Feng’s form was only a spirit and couldn’t use Sacred Flame. Currently, with his soul power at the Seventh-stage Venerable level and the Nine Nether Soul Fire being specifically designed for souls, it was no weaker than the Sacred Flame against this serpent.

The white fiery flames engulfed the serpent swiftly, first burning its head and then rapidly spreading along its massive body, which was soon completely consumed by the flames.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" Under the burning of the white flames, the giant purple serpent issued a series of excruciating roars. Originally coiling and rising, its body, now enveloped by the white flames, suddenly stretched out flat and rolled continuously beneath Shi Feng and Zi Ya.

"You’re safe with me here; don’t be afraid!" Shi Feng whispered reassuringly to the person in his arms.

"Is it really you? Brother Shi Feng!" As Zi Ya witnessed the scene unfolding before her, saw that familiar face, and heard his gentle voice, she knew she was not dreaming—he had come, he had come to find her.

Although Shi Feng knew this was his own Soul Space, why he appeared here wasn’t important to Zi Ya anymore.

"Wuu wuu.. Brother Shi Feng.. is it really you? You came!" Like finding someone to confide in at that moment, recalling the sufferings she had endured, Zi Ya suddenly cried like a little girl.

"Alright, you’re all grown up now. Don’t cry anymore. With Brother here, no one can hurt you again! Anyone who dares to hurt you, Brother will scatter their souls and ashes!!" Although Shi Feng spoke softly, the decisiveness in his tone left no room for doubt that he meant what he said.

"Ah, no!" At that moment, Zi Ya suddenly realized something. Looking down at the Purple Serpent below, being burned by the white fiery flames, she exclaimed, "Brother Shi Feng, this is a split from our Snake-man Race’s Ancient God. We can’t harm it!"

"Silly girl, it was about to destroy your soul and take over your body. If I hadn’t entered, your chances of survival would have been almost nonexistent," Shi Feng said, his gaze also fixed on the Big Snake below that was continuously rolling and screaming in pain.

"But still, we can’t. This is the Eight Separation Divine Serpent’s split, the Purple Serpent Body. During the Ancient Period, when the Divine Spirit perished, it split into seven parts. In Ancient Times, our distinguished prophet of the Snake-man Race left a prophecy that one day, the seven splits of the Eight Separation Divine Serpent would gather again, and the Eight Separation Divine Serpent would descend upon the world once more, leading our Snake-man Race towards the glory and brilliance of the Ancient Period.

"The seven splits are the hope of our Snake-man Clan. Six splits are still lost somewhere in the Tianheng Continent, but as long as this Purple Serpent Body exists, it will one day guide our Snake-man Clan to find them. Therefore, this split is crucial for our Snake-man Clan and almost embodies all our hopes."

"Why did they choose specifically you to seal this Purple Snake split, and no one else would do?" Shi Feng asked.

"This is our inherent mission as this lineage!" Zi Ya said, "Thousands of years ago, our ancestors found this Purple Serpent Body. But the Eight Separation Snake Body perished, and the split lost its Spiritual Wisdom. Our ancestors combined their strength and finally subdued the Purple Serpent Body! Although subjugated, the Purple Serpent Body was powerful—any prison that held it or Arrays our ancestors laid down quickly destroyed by it. And our Snake-man Clan cannot always guard this split with the entire clan’s strength.

"Later, my ancestor Zifei, who was then the Empress of the Snake-man Clan, was willing to use our clan’s Secret Technique to seal the Purple Serpent Body within her body, and then generation after generation, through bloodline, passed down the Divine Serpent’s split and the Secret Technique of sealing!

"This ancient sealing Secret Technique, after many changes in our Snake-man Clan, is now lost. Fortunately, our lineage remained unharmed, and the Divine Serpent’s split, along with the seal inside our ancestor, was successfully passed down through bloodlines. My mother had three older sisters, none of whom inherited the split or the ancestral seal until the moment I was born, and I took on the great mission of our Snake-man Clan."

"This actually isn’t a good thing but a kind of bondage!" After hearing so much from Zi Ya, Shi Feng expressed his feelings and then continued, "You are a pure and kind-hearted little girl and should aspire to a carefree life, freely longing for the blue sky with your own dreams and pursuits, seeking love, seeking happiness, instead of carrying these pointless missions and letting them become your burden, limiting your life and your pursuits! Think about it carefully. If you wish, I can eliminate this Big Snake right now, giving you everlasting freedom."
