Regarding Dark Matter, even in the Jun Family's Library Pavilion, there are not many records about it.

It is only mentioned that this dark matter originates from a drop of blood from some mysterious land.

Apart from this, there are no more records.

Jun Xiaoyao knows that there is no point in exploring this thing now.

What needs to be done at this moment is to search for the opportunities within the Tai'e Temple.

Just then, amidst the distant gray mist, specks of scarlet ghostly fire suddenly appeared.

Those were actually eyes.

"This is bad, it's the demonic tide..." Cyan Snake General's expression changed.

Those demonic creatures tainted by dark matter can form a demonic tide once their numbers reach a certain level.

If Queen Medusa and others were still at their peak combat power, that would be fine. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

But the problem is that even Queen Medusa and the others' cultivation is suppressed by the field, only allowing them to exert Saint Level strength.

This makes it somewhat difficult.

Hiss hiss...

Various eerie howling sounds came.

The demonic creatures gathered into a tide, sweeping forward.

"Let's attack together and open a path," said Jun Xiaoyao, shining with radiant light.

The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, being of Supreme Yang constitution, naturally suppresses all kinds of malevolent forces.

Even without the isolation of mana, the gray mist would not easily touch Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao pointed his fingers to form a sword, executing the Immortal Slaying Sword Technique.

A thousand-zhang sword qi surged forth, breaking through the gray mist.

A series of hisses and sounds of sword qi slicing into flesh came from ahead.

Ordinary people facing a demonic tide like this would be eighty percent terrified and shocked.

Yet, Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained unchanged.

Queen Medusa and the others also made their moves together.

Even though their strength was suppressed, they were still much stronger than ordinary Saints.

The group advanced while fighting.

At this time, Biling, who was being protected in the center, suddenly seemed to have a sense, pointing in a certain direction ahead, hesitantly saying, "It seems like we need to go that way."

Hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed.

Indeed, bringing Biling into the Tai'e Temple was the right decision.

She was originally transformed from a drop of ancient blood within the Tai'e Temple.

Jun Xiaoyao speculated that the drop of ancient blood might be related to the bloodline source of the Snake-man Race.

Subsequently, the group began moving in the direction Biling pointed.

Soon after, a massive, grand, and ancient temple appeared ahead.

Its size was clearly much larger than the surrounding temples.

"Could this be the main temple of the Tai'e Temple?" Jun Xiaoyao wondered to himself.

In front of this main temple stood a row of bronze pillars.

On them were ancient engravings of beings with human heads and snake bodies.

With just one look, Jun Xiaoyao felt they resembled Huaxia's Creation Goddess closely.

Strangely, after Jun Xiaoyao and others stepped past the bronze pillars, the demonic creatures dared not approach, as if fearing something.

Ahead, the ancient temple loomed, exuding a mottled, ancient aura of primordial chaos.

One could imagine that during its peak, the Tai'e Temple must have been a grand and magnificent existence.

But sadly, as time passed, this place had become an eerie demon land.

Jun Xiaoyao and the others pushed open the main temple's bronze gate.

A chill wind blew through, sending shivers down the spines of Thunder Snake General and other Great Saint powerhouses.

"This place is too strange," Cyan Snake General said, his skin breaking out in goosebumps.

Jun Xiaoyao snapped his fingers, and a rainbow-like Ancient Emperor's Flame floated in the void, slightly illuminating the cold and dark ancient hall.

On the walls flanking the ancient hall were some murals.

They depicted scenes of ancient people bowing to a human-headed snake-bodied deity.

In later panels, an unrivaled beauty manifested from a river, receiving reverence from all directions.

"Indeed, this is Luo River..." Celestial Maiden Yuan stepped forward, her jade hand touching the mural, her starry eyes shining brightly.

Jun Xiaoyao remembered Celestial Maiden Yuan's Luoshen Jinghong Dance.

"Could this Celestial Maiden Yuan be related to the legendary Luo River Spirit?" Jun Xiaoyao pondered.

It was connected to a mythical emperor.

Now Jun Xiaoyao understood why Celestial Maiden Yuan was determined to come to Tai'e Temple.

Some opportunities here were indeed related to her.

Of course, Jun Xiaoyao was not doing charity.

If there were any significant opportunities, he would definitely take the largest share.

As everyone ventured deeper into the ancient temple, in some side halls, they discovered many dusty ancient artifacts and some dust-covered jars.

When the jars were opened, astonishing divine radiance circulated, and a fragrant aroma wafted out.

"They're Holy Pills, the potency hasn't diminished!" Thunder Snake General and the others showed joyful expressions in their eyes.

Jun Xiaoyao glanced at them and withdrew his gaze, uninterested.

He had eaten such holy pills as sweets since childhood.

Only the Snake-man Race without a rich heritage would view Holy Pills as treasures.

Compared to these things, Jun Xiaoyao was more interested in the murals and carvings.

They might reveal certain secrets.

About that mythical emperor, or even... the immortal!

While Cyan Snake General and others were gathering elixirs and ancient artifacts.

Biling suddenly looked towards the front of the hall, somewhat dazed, saying, "There's... a familiar aura ahead..."

This statement made Jun Xiaoyao and Queen Medusa's eyes flicker.

They exchanged a glance and continued forward.

A dense blood aura filled the air.

Looking ahead, in the center of this hall, there was a blood pool about a zhang in diameter.

Inside the blood pool, there was dark red fresh blood.

Despite the passage of time, the blood had not congealed.

Beside the blood pool were placed six coffins.

Blood channels ran beneath the coffins, funneling fresh blood into the pool.

"What is this..." Queen Medusa displayed a surprised expression.

She could feel that her own bloodline seemed to be faintly burning hot.

Thunder Snake General and others felt the same.

"Could this be some kind of sacrificial scene?" Jun Xiaoyao questioned with suspicion.

"This is the Snake-man Race's most primordial and powerful bloodline!" Queen Medusa couldn't help but show excitement.

As the strongest of the Snake-man Race, she naturally could feel this bloodline power most deeply.

If the entire Snake-man Race possessed this bloodline,

not to mention a Saint Master, even a Supreme Venerable appearing wouldn't be surprising.

Just as Queen Medusa was about to step forward to claim the bloodline.

Jun Xiaoyao suddenly said, "If you don't want the entire Snake-man Race to be annihilated, take away this bloodline."

"What does the young master mean?" Queen Medusa stopped her actions.

Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward and said calmly, "Within this blood pool is curse power, along with the same source material as that gray mist."

Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa was slightly startled and looked carefully.

Indeed, in the blood pool, there were faint, strange runes rising, and wisps of black gas spreading.

"This is the hope for our Snake-man Race's transformation..." Queen Medusa was unwilling.

"There's not entirely no way," Jun Xiaoyao's tone shifted, speaking calmly.

"Does the young master have a way?" Queen Medusa couldn't help but step forward, her jade hand grabbing Jun Xiaoyao's hand, her expression filled with nervousness and trepidation.

This concerned the transformation and rise of the Snake-man Race, so no wonder Queen Medusa was so unsettled.
