Starting with the Sword Ancestor System: Xiao Yan, Your Harem is Mine!

The Power of Law was a Domain that only Dou Venerate experts could begin to deeply interact with. How could a mere Dou Zong youth master it so profoundly?! Moreover, it was a terrifying Law he had never heard of, yet it severely restrained Netherworld Power!

Just in this instant when his mind was distracted—

“Crack!”

Because he forcibly diverted his attention to attack, a subtle disturbance appeared in the operation of the altar! The black chains wrapped around the blood essence demon fruit dimmed, and their power to confine the fruit suddenly weakened!

Now!

Li Ao’s eyes flashed brightly, the Thunder Sound Steps roared again, and his body appeared above the altar as if teleporting. His large hand, covered in a bronze luster, reached directly for the pulsating blood essence demon fruit!

“No!!!” The Hall of Souls Elder let out a desperate roar.

However, just as Li Ao’s fingers were about to touch the blood essence demon fruit—

An unexpected change occurred!

The massive snake bone altar seemed to have its hidden characteristics completely activated due to the recent disturbance and the violent fluctuation of the blood essence demon fruit’s power!

“Buzz—!!!”

Above the altar, all the pale snake bones simultaneously erupted with dazzling netherlight! The carved serpentine runes seemed to come alive, swimming frantically!

The spatial vortex at the center of the altar suddenly expanded and twisted, and an intent far older, more tyrannical, and more terrifying than before, like a Vicious Beast that had slept for countless ages, descended with a crash!

This intent was filled with chaos, slaughter, and endless greed, seemingly wanting to devour all vitality!

“Hiss—!!”

A sharp, ear-splitting hiss, which did not travel through the air but echoed directly in the depths of everyone’s Soul, suddenly emanated from the spatial vortex!

Accompanying the hiss, a massive, indistinct phantom of a nine-headed snake suddenly extended a portion of its body from the vortex!

The phantom was neither a physical entity nor a Soul Body; it was more like a combination of residual ancient will and energy! Its eighteen snake pupils opened simultaneously, containing only pure chaos and hunger!

“It’s... it’s the Nine-Headed Celestial Snake Remnant Soul from ancient times! The altar actually summoned something like this?!” The Hall of Souls Elder was so scared that his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering; he clearly hadn’t anticipated this kind of unexpected event!

This altar was originally discovered by the Hall of Souls by chance. They intended to use its power to connect to a secret realm, but they never expected it would lure out the remnant thought of such an ancient Vicious Beast!

The moment the Nine-Headed Snake Remnant Soul appeared, its eighteen snake pupils instantly locked onto the closest targets that contained immense vitality and Soul Power—Li Ao, and the blood essence demon fruit he was about to collect!

To it, both were supreme and delicious supplements!

“Hiss!”

One of the snake heads suddenly opened its massive maw, not to devour, but to spew out a gray-black beam of light containing the aura of extreme decay and decline, shooting straight toward Li Ao!

Wherever the beam passed, even space seemed to lose its color and turn gray and withered!

This attack did not contain Netherworld Power, but the Law of Decay, which was older and closer to the Origin of the world! Its power far exceeded the Netherworld Ghost Hand of the Six-Star Dou Zong Elder!

The hair on Li Ao’s body stood on end as he sensed an unprecedented death crisis! He had no doubt that if he were hit by this beam, even with the formidable strength of his Bronze Battle Body, his vitality would instantly decay, turning him into withered bones!

He wanted to dodge, but his figure was firmly locked down by the terrifying will of the Nine-Headed Snake Remnant Soul. It was like sinking into a swamp, making movement extremely difficult!

Seeing the Decay Beam about to swallow him—

“Be careful!”

A seven-colored stream of light moved horizontally at a speed beyond thought, blocking Li Ao’s path! It was Medusa!

Ignoring the attacks of the Hall of Souls guards behind her, she forcibly mobilized all her Soul Power. The seven-colored runes on her brow lit up like fire, and her hands traced a perfect arc in front of her, condensing into an incredibly solid seven-colored Soul shield!

“Boom—!!!”

The Decay Beam violently struck the seven-colored shield!
