Devouring Heaven Holy Python

Su Mu jumped into the pond, grabbed the water snake, and tore with both hands, saving Little Mahi.

Just then, the water snake somehow found the strength to unleash a death coil, wrapping itself tightly around Su Mu's entire right arm.

The terrifying constricting force made the bones in Su Mu's right arm crack loudly.

I'm a dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator. Am I really unable to handle a little water snake like you?! Su Mu was enraged as well. He circulated his cultivation art, spiritual energy swirling around his right arm, then swung his left fist at the water snake's head! Thud—

His punch splashed up water, but due to the refraction of light, it missed by just a little.

However, perhaps sensing Su Mu's powerful strength and being intimidated, the water snake hurriedly released its coils and prepared to swim toward the river beyond the pond.

How could Su Mu possibly let it escape so easily?

He submerged his entire body underwater, grabbed the water snake by its tail, and flung it onto the shore with all his strength.

The instant the water snake landed on shore, it curled into a ball on the ground, trembling and too afraid to move.

Su Mu returned to shore, rolled up his sleeves, and walked toward the water snake.

Unrivaled Continent, Kunlun Domain Sea.

A Devouring Heaven Holy Python was forcibly seized by a pair of giant hands in the void. The shattered domain sea instantly returned to calm.

Several Human Race Great Emperors watching from afar stared up into the void, terror on their faces.

"The Devouring Heaven Holy Python was taken away by those Void Hands!"

"Did you see that clearly?"

"Not clearly, but why do I feel like those Void Hands were saving that loach dragon?"

"I think so too. We should leave this place quickly. It's too terrifying."

On the shore, Su Mu had already completely dissected the water snake.

A snake had three treasures: snakeskin, snake gallbladder, and snake meat.

Su Mu skinned it. The hide alone was ten meters long and three meters wide, and the snake core was also a powerful tonic.

As for the meat, there were over two hundred jin of it.

Using his dagger, Su Mu cut off a huge chunk of snake meat and walked to the shore. Looking at the battered Little Mahi by the water's edge, he tossed the meat into the water.

"I helped you get revenge. Eat up. It's the spoils of war, and you get a share too."

Little Mahi was stunned for quite a while, then sent him a feeling of gratitude before swallowing the entire huge chunk of snake meat in one gulp.

The next second, the wounds on Little Mahi's body visibly healed by more than half.

Su Mu's eyes lit up at the sight.

It seemed this water snake was a spirit snake too. "Next time you run into someone who bullies you, lure them to the shore. I'll stand up for you."

Su Mu spoke to Little Mahi.

Little Mahi happily spun in circles, as if it had found someone to rely on.

Su Mu used a large iron pot to cook a pot of soup. Once it boiled, he added the chopped snake meat.

He put in nearly thirty jin, intending to save the remaining hundred-plus jin for later.

After the snake meat entered the pot, the previously boiling water instantly turned cold, even showing signs of freezing.

Seeing this, Su Mu added several bundles of dry firewood. The flames burned much stronger, but the water in the pot still showed no sign of boiling.

After cooking for a full five hours, it finally began to bubble.

Su Mu poked the snake meat with his chopsticks and found it hard as ice.

He continued cooking for another five hours. The snake meat finally softened, and a rich fragrance began to waft out.

After drooling hungrily for an entire day, Su Mu mixed up a dipping sauce and kept cooking for nearly another hour.

Su Mu picked up a piece of snake meat, dipped it in the sauce, and took a bite. His mouth instantly filled with rich fragrance.

"It's so damn good!"

That single bite made even his toes tense up. He had eaten snake meat before, but this was the first time he had tasted snake meat with such a texture. It was soft, smooth, fragrant, and tender. There was no time for praise! He lowered his head and dug in! Ten hours cooking the meat, five minutes eating it! Not even the soup was left; everything went into his stomach.

Su Mu propped himself up with both hands and let out a full belch, utterly satisfied.

Thinking about it, being trapped in this lousy place was not entirely a bad thing. At least he was living quite comfortably, and his cultivation was rising rapidly.

The only drawback was that it was too lonely.

He could not even find someone to talk to.

This river was too quiet. People occasionally passed by, but they were all Transmigrator protagonists. They merely passed through and never stayed.

Only Little Mahi kept him company.

Still, Little Mahi brought him treasures every day, while he helped it fight a few battles. Life was not all that boring.

After eating, Su Mu returned to his reclining chair and began taking an afternoon nap. He ate when he was full, slept when he was full, and patrolled the river whenever he was bored.

As he slept, Su Mu felt his entire body grow feverishly hot, as though someone had drugged him.

He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, discovering that cold sweat was pouring from his entire body.

It felt as if he were being boiled alive. The heat made Su Mu jump around wildly, and even circulating his cultivation art could not suppress it.

The next second.

A surge of pure energy erupted in his stomach, spreading through his meridians and throughout his body.

Su Mu knew this had to be the result of eating the snake meat.

He sat down cross-legged. Instead of resisting it, he circulated his cultivation art and slowly refined the energy. He remained seated for three days!

At that moment, Su Mu's qi and blood suddenly surged. His cultivation directly reached the Golden Core Realm! It continued rising, only stopping when he reached the Golden Core Ninth Level.

At that instant, Su Mu felt stronger than ever before! A single piece of snake meat had directly sent his cultivation soaring all the way to the Golden Core Ninth Level. It felt so unreal that he could hardly believe it.

What kind of heaven-defying treasure had that water snake been?

Over the next few days, Su Mu ate nothing but snake meat.

After eating more than ten jin, his cultivation successfully reached Golden Core Perfection.

Later, after eating several more jin, although his qi and blood strengthened and his physical body grew more powerful, his cultivation no longer increased.

Su Mu decided to stop eating it for now. He had probably encountered a bottleneck. He could not break through merely by eating meat.

Over the next month, he did not encounter any more Transmigrators, and his days were peaceful.

He mostly patrolled the river and accumulated Favor Points.

However, what surprised Su Mu was that Little Mahi had gone somewhere unknown. There had been no sign of it for an entire month.

But he did not intend to summon it back. Let it play on its own. Maybe it had a wife and children to keep company too?

This month, Su Mu's luck was pretty good. Every day he went out, he could find stranded little fish, shrimp, and crabs.

He could earn more than a hundred Favor Points every day.

By the end of the month, he had earned more than three thousand Favor Points.

Host: Su Mu Cultivation: Golden Core Perfection Mastered Divine Abilities: Water Manipulation, Swimming Cultivation Art: Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art Controlled Water Beasts: No-Loach Dragon River Affinity: 0.06% River Favor Points: 4325

Su Mu planned to spend four thousand Favor Points to directly raise his affinity to "0.1%."
