The next moment, before Ye Lin could react, the Phoenix Fire rushed towards him and burrowed directly into his body.
Ye Lin sat cross-legged on the ground and hurriedly began to circulate his Star Art.
Ye Lin's skin was bright red, and his veins were clearly visible.
Scars appeared on the skin's surface, radiating a bright red glow.
From a distance, the halo seemed to pierce through the body, making it incredibly terrifying.
"Damn it."
Ye Lin's face was pale, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Inside the body, it felt as if all the internal organs were being roasted over a fire.
It felt as if a small sun had appeared inside him, and the incredibly violent energy seemed about to burst him apart.
As time passed, the Phoenix Fire gradually subsided.
And what followed was a feeling of comfort that cannot be expressed in words.
"Strength and defense have both been enhanced."
Noticing the change in himself, Ye Lin Heart One delighted.
The power released by the Phoenix Fire just now enhanced his strength, defense, and meridians.
Meridians are where spiritual energy flows. The stronger the meridians, the more violent the spiritual energy they can withstand, and the stronger the attacks they can launch.
The formation of a spell often requires first gathering spiritual energy, which then flows through the meridians and is finally released. The amount of spiritual energy gathered in this short period of time represents the power and intensity of the spell.
Now, Ye Lin is more than capable of crushing ordinary late-stage Golden Core cultivators.
"Phew, Earth Grade High Tier Phoenix Fire, I can't afford it anymore."
Looking at the Phoenix Fire swirling around the Golden Core core, Ye Lin smiled and shook his head.
He usually didn't dare to fully activate the Earth Grade Low Tier Phoenix Fire, let alone the Earth Grade High Tier Phoenix Fire now.
Roughly estimating, if he were to exert all his strength, he would be exhausted of spiritual energy in three breaths at most.
The spiritual energy reserves within a Golden Core cultivator are terrifying, yet even so, they could only sustain themselves for three breaths.
"It's best not to use it unless it's a matter of life and death. In just three breaths, before my opponent even dies, I'll be completely drained."
After saying that, Ye Lin's expression changed slightly, and he turned around to look behind him.
The fighting that had been going on had completely stopped.
"Could it be that Xuan Hu is dead?"
Ye Lin, carrying the Evil Slayer Staff, walked out of the cave.
Since the beginning, the battles on the outside have never stopped.
The perception of someone at the Golden Core stage is terrifying; he can sense the battles outside.
Previously, Xuan Hu had been at a disadvantage, but now, the battle has stopped.
This made his expression turn somewhat unpleasant.
Ye Lin picked up the Evil Slayer lying to the side and walked out of the cave.
Meanwhile, outside the cave, Xuan Hu, covered in blood and looking utterly disheveled, was carrying a Great Hammer in one hand as he stared at the Flame Python before him.
In the distance, the corpse of a Flame Python lay there quietly.
"Damn human, now it's time for you to die too."
The Golden Core Peak Flame Python was extremely angry. Its wife had been brutally beaten to death right before its eyes by this brat.
"Hahaha, come on, although you're already exhausted, you still don't dare to go all out now."
"That tail strike just now couldn't possibly kill a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. You were on guard, worried that my junior brother would come out and kill you once he'd recovered, was that it?"
Xuan Hu laughed heartily and stood up with great difficulty, reflecting on the time since Ye Lin was thrown into the mountains and his fate was unknown.
The Flame Python before him ultimately dared not fight him with all its might, constantly conserving its strength and remaining vigilant against Ye Lin, whose fate was unknown.
Otherwise, I would have been dead long ago under the attack of this Flame Python.
In the end, I underestimated the power of this Flame Python; otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.
" Sword Controlling Technique, Long Rainbow Piercing the Sun."
Suddenly, the mountainside next to the Flame Python exploded, Evil Slayer shot towards them with lightning speed.
Caught off guard, it pierced straight through its massive body.
"Hiss hiss hiss, damn it."
This attack completely enraged the Flame Python, which raised its massive head and began to ram into the nearby Flame Mountain, attempting to knock the Ye Lin out of it.
" The Eight Trigrams Hammer, Heaven-Earth Centrifugal."
Seeing this, how could Xuan Hu let go of such a good opportunity? He stomped on the ground and leaped high into the air, smashing his fist towards the head of the Flame Python.
With one hammer blow, the Flame Python's enormous head was smashed into the ground.
" Sword Controlling Technique, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin "
At this moment, Ye Lin's figure appeared on the mountaintop, his hands quickly Hand Seals, and countless Long Sword began to converge.
The endless swarm of swords completely enveloped the Flame Mountain, creating a truly magnificent sight.
"People who wield swords are just so cool."
The Xuan Hu on the ground looked at Ye Lin, who was surrounded by swords in the sky, and then looked at the Great Hammer in its hand, its face full of envy.
Then he raised the giant hammer and slammed it down on the Flame Python's enormous head.
Then, with a few quick movements, they dashed off into the distance.
He felt a strong sense of threat from Ye Lin's attack.
"Cut."
When it was almost time, Ye Lin gave a soft shout, Long Sword, like Heavenly Dao judgment, descended directly from the sky.
A violent explosion rang out, and Ye Lin cleaved off one-tenth of the entire Flame Mountain with a single sword strike.
The Flame Python was decapitated by this attack.
He was already nearly exhausted by Xuan Hu, and now he was taking a full-force attack from Ye Lin. It would be a miracle if he didn't die.
After the matter was resolved, the Evil Slayer Blade circled around Ye Lin once and then hovered behind him.
"Those who wield swords are indeed cool."
In the distance, Xuan Hu looked at the Ye Lin in the sky with envy.
I should have known he would have gone to cultivate swordsmanship back then.
"Junior Brother Ye, how are you? You weren't making a sound just now, I thought..."
Xuan Hu, Great Hammer, scratched his head and said as he walked.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin simply smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, senior brother. I was caught off guard just now, and this Flame Python did give me a little trouble, but it's nothing serious."
Ye Lin put away the Evil Slayer and came to Xuan Hu's side.
"Alright, you can take whatever you want from this Flame Python. You wait here for me; I'm going to get the Flame Python's egg."
"Good."
Watching the Xuan Hu's figure disappear, Ye Lin finally turned his gaze to the Flame Python in front of him.
He then looked up and split the Flame Python's body in two, taking out the Demon Core and the Snake Gallbladder, and storing the Snake Gallbladder in his Spatial Ring.
The Snake Gallbladder of snake-like Demon Beast can neutralize most poisons, and after refining them, they can also expel toxins from the body.
The uses are endless.
Every medicine has some degree of toxicity. Every pill refined will accumulate corresponding toxicity in the body, and if this toxicity accumulates too much, it will form a deadly poison.
It poses an extremely serious threat to breaking through realms and to one's lifespan.
Therefore, every so often, cultivators need to find a large number of treasures to expel the poison from the pills.
Snake Gallbladder are the most effective remedy for treating erysipelas.
After putting away the Snake Gallbladder, Ye Lin held the Demon Core and waited quietly for Xuan Hu.
Sometimes, one shouldn't be too greedy. Since you've already taken the Snake Gallbladder, you should leave behind its Demon Core as well.
Being too greedy is not a good thing either.
Anyway, he had gained enough this time and was satisfied.
"Junior Brother Ye, let's go. There are three Flame Python Egg. As long as we get them to the Mission Hall, the mission will be complete."
