This scene was too sudden; no one had expected it. After the Supreme Elder of the Xinyang family recklessly rushed to attack Ye Tianchen, a burst of purple-black light flashed, and the powerful Supreme Elder of the Xinyang family suddenly turned into a corpse standing in front of Ye Tianchen, devoid of his Divine Soul, as if his Divine Sense had been shockingly killed, extremely horrifying!

In Ye Tianchen's right hand appeared a purple-black vine, which looked extremely ordinary, without any markings on it and no Divine Power flux. It looked just like a simple vine, the kind that would be ignored even if thrown on the street; Ye Tianchen was also very puzzled looking at the vine, not knowing what it was or why the old thing from the Xinyang family suddenly died with his Divine Soul obliterated, leaving only a shell.

Divine Monkey, Golden Sky Ant, Vermilion Bird, Silver Snake King, Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect, Supreme Elder of the Wang family were all dumbfounded, each furrowing their brows, not understanding what had happened or why it had turned out this way.

Ye Tianchen was the first to react; he stored the purple-black box in his left hand and then, holding the purple-black vine in his right hand, stood up and looked at the people around, just when he was preparing to rush out of the encirclement of the remaining six strong men.

Bang!

A huge silver snake tail swept toward Ye Tianchen, as large as a mountain, leaving Ye Tianchen no room to escape, while the Divine Monkey, Golden Sky Ant, Vermilion Bird, Tripod Sect and the Supreme Elders of the Wang family all flew away to the side. These people were very cautious, although the current common goal was the ordinary-looking vine in Ye Tianchen's hand; however, no one would believe it was an ordinary vine, it must contain some world-shaking mystery. Everyone wanted to explore and, since Silver Snake King couldn't hold back and took action first, let it explore to see what kind of power this ordinary vine might have, whether the Xinyang family's Supreme Elder's Divine Soul's obliterated death was related to this thing, or if Ye Tianchen secretly performed some Secret Technique causing it?

Silver Snake King was indeed very powerful; its ancestors could even be traced back to Flying Snake, having a portion of Flying Snake's bloodline within, extremely strong. Flying Snake was a Divine Beast, a legendary celestial Demon Beast, how powerful, just thinking about it made it clear. This old Silver Snake King had lived for too long, at least a few thousand years of lifespan, truly at the brink of oil running out and lamps burning out; otherwise, it wouldn't have desperately come out to compete for the unusual treasure, just to leave the greatest fortune for its grandson. But if anyone thought this Silver Snake King was old and its combat power failed, they would be gravely mistaken. Silver Snake King's cultivation time was long-standing, especially when reaching this point close to becoming one with heaven, releasing all its Life Power, making its combat strength increase multiple times, very terrifying, so even the courageous Divine Monkey wouldn't dare be the first to attack the Silver Snake King, precisely for this reason.

Whiz!

The first reaction Ye Tianchen had was not to let that old snake's tail entangle him; such a tail was as firm as steel, if truly entangled, even if he exerted all his Physical Body Power, he wouldn't be able to escape, let alone in his current state where he was injured. If entangled by Silver Snake King's tail, it would certainly mean certain death!

"Little brat, you can't escape!" Silver Snake King flicked its long tongue and struck Ye Tianchen flying in mid-air back.

Thud!

Ye Tianchen was hit by Silver Snake King's tongue, instantly flew back, and at this moment, Silver Snake King's huge tail swept in, just wrapping Ye Tianchen, and smashed him to the ground, causing Ye Tianchen to immediately spew blood from his mouth and nose, with even more severe injuries. Yet Silver Snake King's dominance did not diminish, looking fiercely at Ye Tianchen and said, "Hand over the unusual treasure and die quickly!"

"Old thing, wishful thinking..." Ye Tianchen gritted his teeth and said.

"Seeking death, I will fulfill you!" Silver Snake King said ruthlessly.

Boom!

Ye Tianchen was entangled by Silver Snake King's tail, unable to move at all. This old snake's tail was several times harder than he imagined, truly invulnerable. Quite unbelievable how long this old snake had cultivated to have its skin and flesh refined to this extent.

When Silver Snake King saw Ye Tianchen didn't hand over the unusual treasure even when he was spewing blood, critically injured and nearly dying, it was enraged, its entire tail immediately straightened up, continuously sweeping upward, continuously coiling, forming a mountain-like structure, while Ye Tianchen was at the summit of this snake coiled mountain, with only hands and head exposed, desperately struggling. But just as he expected, the price for grabbing the rectangular box holding the vine had been surviving the attack by seven mighty figures; even though he was formidable, he couldn't withstand such assault, being severely injured. Now entangled by Silver Snake King's massive body, even exerting full power wouldn't allow him to escape.

"You little bastard, you still have one last chance..." the Silver Snake King said fiercely.

"Old serpent, I won't hand it over to you, stop dreaming!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Boom!

The massive snake body of the Silver Snake King began to constrict violently, tightening continuously, as if it wanted to strangle Ye Tianchen to death alive. Moreover, its snake body was rising, ready to completely engulf Ye Tianchen beneath its form. Once Ye Tianchen was fully submerged, he would certainly face a certain death!

"Ye Tianchen..."

Huo Xianer was the first to rush towards the Silver Snake King, followed by Pangu Yun, Jing Wuhuan, and even the cowardly Little Zhu Yan also charged forward. At this moment, they didn't think too much, even though they knew that the remaining six were possibly the strongest, enough to give them a hard time facing just one. To face all six powerful entities, they were afraid they were on a dead-end path. Despite this, they still wanted to save Ye Tianchen; after all, they had journeyed through so much together. How could they watch Ye Tianchen perish without rescue?

Thud!

To their surprise, just as Huo Xianer, Pangu Yun, Jing Wuhuan, and Little Zhu Yan were all charging towards the Silver Snake King, a rusted battle halberd descended from the sky. It was the Desolate Sky Halberd held by the monkey, blocking Huo Xianer and the others like a mountain range. The monkey said domineeringly and strongly, "Don't rush, I want to see what kind of performance the exotic treasure will show at this crucial moment. Anyone who dares to interrupt my viewing must die!"

It turned out that this explosive and aggressive monkey hadn't attacked Ye Tianchen first like the Silver Snake King, not because it didn't want the exotic treasure, but because it noticed this treasure seemed to possess some extraordinary power. What exactly was special wasn't clear yet, so with the treasure currently held by Ye Tianchen, its potential power was unknown. Since the Silver Snake King took the first move, the monkey was happy to watch the show, explore the treasure's power, and was confident that in this Original Restricted Zone, no one could take anything away under its watchful eyes.

"Damn it, stinky monkey, if I grow stronger, I must slap you to death, Ye..." Little Zhu Yan's Eyes of Golden Flame saw most clearly. When it looked ahead, it discovered Ye Tianchen was completely engulfed, with only his right hand holding a purple-black vine remaining outside, about to be strangled alive!

The Silver Snake King sneered, seeing Ye Tianchen unable to move, with no room to struggle, and stopped sweeping its massive body. Then, it slowly raised its head closer to its tail, where Ye Tianchen was entangled on the ground. Seeing only Ye Tianchen's right hand exposed, and the purple-black vine on it, it said, "Is this the exotic treasure? It looks ordinary, still needs research, I'll take it!"

After saying this, the Silver Snake King extended its huge head, opened its massive snake mouth, and swept towards the purple-black vine, seemingly intending to swallow it whole because the Silver Snake King understood well. The Divine Monkey, Vermilion Bird, Golden Sky Ant, Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect, and Supreme Elder of the Wang family would definitely not give it a chance to escape, inevitably leading to a life-and-death battle. Only in this way could it ensure the exotic treasure was safe.

"You old thing, you finally came over, let me show you the power of the exotic treasure!" Suddenly, Ye Tianchen's voice sounded, and the purple-black vine in Ye Tianchen's right hand swiftly struck towards the Silver Snake King's head.

There were no fluctuations of power, nor any runes shining, just like a small wooden stick thrown towards the Silver Snake King, causing the Silver Snake King to sneer and roar, "You little bastard, it seems you still don't know how to use this exotic treasure. Throwing it like this can't even hurt a single hair of mine!"

Snap!

The purple-black vine struck the Silver Snake King's head, which was intentional by the Silver Snake King; it wanted to use its head to catch the exotic treasure, saving the effort to swallow it. Unexpectedly, the instant the seemingly ordinary vine with no power fluctuations hit the Silver Snake King's head, the Silver Snake King's expression drastically changed, its gaze became incredibly terrified, even letting out loud screams, "My Divine Thought, my consciousness, my soul... no..."
