Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Yun, Descends
Xiao Chen took a step into the void, the fiery aura around him scorching the air.
"Wushuang! A spear that moves like a dragon, the hand of ten thousand weapons. A life bound for the Yellow Springs, with no turning back."
Xiao Chen used Instantaneous Flash to appear above the Scorching Heaven-Devouring Python, his body erupting with Flame True Essence.
Wreathed in monstrous flames, he swept his spear down at the python with the force of ten thousand soldiers.
But the Scorching Heaven-Devouring Python reacted in an instant, its body twisting with the speed of lightning.
It whipped its massive tail around in a counter-attack, colliding with the Flaming Spear.
BOOM! A shockwave erupted over the Volcanic Valley, sweeping out in all directions.
Xiao Chen’s expression was grave.
Such a powerful strike hadn’t even managed to break through the Scorching Heaven-Devouring Python’s defenses.
Instead, the terrifying force from the impact traveled up the spear, making Xiao Chen’s arm go slightly numb.
...
Sometime later,
A figure transformed into a streak of lightning, speeding toward the massive Volcanic Valley where Xiao Chen was.
Gu Yun had been rushing over ever since he received Xiao Chen’s Communication Talisman.
Now, Gu Yun had arrived high above the massive Volcanic Valley. His long hair danced in the wind as his gaze drifted down to Xiao Chen, who was trapped in a bitter struggle below.
Xiao Chen was covered in wounds. His black robes were tattered and torn, revealing numerous gashes on his body.
He was drenched in crimson, making it impossible to tell if it was the color of flames or the color of blood.
"Wangchuan! Clouds and mist churn to hide killing intent, a single sweep to fell a thousand armies across the land."
Xiao Chen ignited all the True Yuan in his body. With a sweep of his Flaming Spear, he created a colossal spear shadow.
It howled through the air, tearing through space like a shooting star. Like a meteor falling from the heavens, the crimson light of the spear shadow illuminated the entire valley.
Fierce flames erupted around the Scorching Heaven-Devouring Python. Wreathed in this monstrous fire, it transformed into a hundred-zhang pillar of fire and shot toward the colossal spear shadow!
BANG! The two crimson attacks slammed into each other, sending ripples through the surrounding space like water.
The resulting aftershock blasted outward in all directions, and the surrounding crimson rocks were sent flying and shattered by the force of the collision.
Suddenly,
At that very moment,
A smile finally appeared on Xiao Chen’s tense face.
With a flash, Xiao Chen’s figure blurred into an afterimage.
In the blink of an eye, he crossed several hundred zhang and shot toward the outside of the valley at top speed.
The Scorching Heaven-Devouring Python suddenly sensed a fatal danger.
It raised its head and looked toward the sky.
"HISS!"
Fear gripped it, and its hiss trembled.
And there,
In the sky was a massive golden palm, thousands of zhang in size, that seemed to cover the entire valley, blotting out the sun.
An utterly terrifying power made the void tremble. Its vast Divine Power carried an incomparably ferocious Momentum,
surging like a tsunami as it came crashing down from the heavens.
Unwilling to wait for death, the Scorching Heaven-Devouring Python unleashed all of its Demonic Power. Then, the flames around it condensed in the void, forming dozens of hundred-zhang-tall pillars of fire.
Immediately, the dozens of towering fire pillars shot toward the thousand-zhang golden palm, looking like columns supporting the sky within the valley.
To its surprise, when the dozens of fire pillars touched the golden palm, it was like eggs smashing against a stone.
They were instantly shattered by the golden palm, which then continued its unstoppable descent toward the Scorching Heaven-Devouring Python, like the Tathagata Divine Palm itself.
The Scorching Heaven-Devouring Python stared with terrified eyes at the vast, boundless golden palm, instantly feeling a crushing pressure as heavy as a mountain!
Its cold eyes then erupted with boundless Demonic Power, which condensed into a crimson Flame Shield.
The moment the Flame Shield touched the golden palm, it shattered instantly. The golden palm then slammed the Scorching Heaven-Devouring Python down into the Volcanic Valley.
BANG!
Its entire serpentine body was smashed into the valley floor by the unstoppable golden palm.
It died with disbelief and terror in its serpentine eyes.
A massive Palm Seal, thousands of zhang wide, appeared in the valley, which had been blasted so hard it sank.
Immediately after, a visible shockwave swept out in all directions.
The rocky ground cracked and crumbled under the terrifying aftershock.
Debris flew everywhere, and thick clouds of dust billowed out!

With a flash, Gu Yun appeared beside Xiao Chen.
He looked at Xiao Chen’s tattered black robes, his body covered in blood and crisscrossed with wounds.
He was truly a gruesome sight to behold.
"This time, I must thank Brother Gu for coming to my aid." Xiao Chen cupped his hands in gratitude.
Gu Yun smiled faintly. "With the friendship between us, there’s no need for such words."
"Haha, I knew I wasn’t wrong about you. Wait here, I’m going to grab something. I’ll be right back," Xiao Chen said heartily.
With that,
his entire body transformed into a streak of fire and plunged into the lava.
Gu Yun glanced at the wreckage strewn across the valley.
With a flash, he picked up the corpse of the Scorching Heaven-Devouring Python.
Then he found a random spot to sit down cross-legged.
Planning to cultivate for a while, he waved his hand, and a Spirit Stone appeared in it.
He began to operate the Nine Tribulations Thunder Gang Decision. He started a Circulation, absorbing the Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Stone in his hand.
It then transformed into True Yuan, slowly and steadily improving his strength.
「Several days later,」
Gu Yun’s eyes snapped open, his gaze as sharp as lightning. It was as if Thunder flickered within them, emitting a soul-piercing gleam.
He clenched his fist, feeling that his strength had once again improved.
「A few hours later,」
Beneath the scorching lava, a violent tremor suddenly erupted. A terrifying power swept out, creating tsunami-like waves in the high-temperature magma.
The entire valley shook slightly.
Gu Yun was slightly surprised. ’What on earth is that guy up to?’
At that moment, deep within the lava, Xiao Chen was circulating his True Yuan. The mysterious energy in the depths of the magma scrambled to surge into his body.
His eyes seemed to burn like two blazing suns. Soon, Xiao Chen broke through to the True Martial Second Layer Late Stage.
Moreover, here in the Scorching Heaven-Devouring Python’s lair, he had found an Earth Soul Flame Soul Flower. The Earth Soul Flame Soul Flower was extremely helpful for the recovery of a remnant soul.
His master, whose soul resided within his Jade Pendant, would absorb it.
Soon,
everything calmed down, and the fire in Xiao Chen’s eyes gradually faded.
With this matter settled,
Xiao Chen shot upward. The scorching lava around him was like nothing to him.
A moment later, Xiao Chen burst out from the lava.
Gu Yun watched as Xiao Chen emerged. His injuries were now completely healed, his Cultivation had improved significantly, and he was exuding an astonishing aura.
His pupils contracted slightly.
’As expected,’
’A Child of Destiny really is just unreasonable.’
’Just a few days ago, he was a gruesome sight, covered in wounds.’
’And now he’s already healed and has broken through in his Cultivation.’
"Brother Gu, we should leave this Secret Realm. It’s time to return to the Sect," Xiao Chen said.
Hearing this, Gu Yun nodded slightly.
’Return to the Sect? Yes, it’s time to go back. It’s been a long time since I left.’
With that thought, he sent a message into Li Xingyue’s Communication Talisman.
Then, with a flash, the two of them vanished,
leaving only two afterimages to slowly fade away in the ruined, shattered Volcanic Valley.
