Chapter 928: Chapter 238: Intelligence Update, Jade Bamboo Root
Chen Jie’s eyes suddenly brightened, the last major acupoint was blasted open with a bang, and the next moment, terrifying Gang Qi immediately protected Chen Jie’s head.
The massive python swallowed down at this moment, but in the next instant, it staggered from the impact of the Gang Qi, and blood oozed from its snake mouth.
The massive python, seeing that its prey was still alive, immediately panicked, applying all its might on Chen Jie’s body, squeezing him with crackling force.
However, Chen Jie shook his entire body at this moment, and suddenly, a terrifying force made the python unable to constrict any further, leaving it bewildered as it tried harder.
But no matter how hard it tried, it couldn’t unlock the acupoints, and Chen Jie, having regained his strength, now had the power.
At this moment, Chen Jie gave an angry shout: “Open!”
As Chen Jie’s voice rang out, Gang Qi emerged from his body, diffusing an immense power around him, and Chen Jie exerted strength to struggle.
The massive python could no longer hold Chen Jie.
This massive python was indeed formidable, likely at the level of Energy Transformation, as Chen Jie realized a strange power flowed inside it while breaking free.
It seemed like Gang Qi, yet not entirely; could it be demonic power?
Chen Jie thought of a term—demonic power.
All things under heaven and earth possess spirituality and can absorb the spiritual energy of the world.
Humans cultivate Gang Qi through Martial Arts, seeking eternal Dao.
Demons nurture demonic power through the essence of the sun and moon to achieve immortality.
The heavens would not block any creature’s upward pursuit, thus appearing beasts like the Wudang Black Turtle, and the Great Capital’s Treasured Elephant, akin to top-tier Martial Artists, yet they cannot be called fierce beasts anymore—rather, spiritual beasts.
And this massive python, who knows how much essence of the sun and moon it absorbed to achieve such a body.
The Energy Transformation level demonic power inside it was still quite formidable, as demonic power is the reason why spiritual beasts like Black Turtle and Treasured Elephant reach their peak at the Molten Furnace Realm.
Moreover, due to their massive bodies, their strength far exceeds that of ordinary humans.
If Chen Jie were an Energy Transformation Martial Artist today and had not learned the Chang Chun Skill, he would undoubtedly be dead prey now.
Chen Jie tested, finding that the strength of ordinary Energy Transformation Martial Artists isn’t as huge as this massive python’s; caught and constricted, there is no escape, and they would undoubtedly be strangled to death.
But Chen Jie is a Holding Core Realm powerhouse and has also learned the Chang Chun Skill.
When Chen Jie unleashed Spring God’s Fury, his strength was nearing the threshold of the Wolf Smoke Realm.
At this time, Chen Jie gradually intensified his power, and the massive python’s body gradually loosened, ultimately allowing Chen Jie to break free forcefully.
With a snapping sound, Chen Jie broke free, and the giant snake’s head looked at Chen Jie in complete disbelief, confused as if wondering how any creature could possibly escape its grip.
How could he possibly break free?
But before its not-so-large brain could react, it found its tail suddenly grabbed.
The massive python immediately turned and opened its mouth to bite Chen Jie.
However, Chen Jie remained calm, grabbed its tail, and forcefully swung it. With a loud whip-like crack, the entire cave echoed.
This immediately startled the creatures within the cave. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Chen Jie heard an unsettling sound above and quickly took a Fire Stick from his storage ring.
With two blows, he lit the Fire Stick, and a hair-raising scene unfolded before his eyes.
Above his head were all black bats as large as grindstones, flapping their wings furiously in the air.
It was Chen Jie’s previous swing that startled them.
Chen Jie looked at the bats in the air and then at the surrounding ground, seeing nothing but ghastly white bones, both human and animal.
This place resembled a large slaughterhouse.
Chen Jie looked down at the dying massive python on the ground.
He had seen some future biological documentation and knew this kind of massive python was called a Netted Python, with one thousand eight hundred bones, six hundred of which were vertebrae, and their vertebrae connections were very fragile. Chen Jie’s earlier swing had directly torn all the vertebrae in its body.
One could say, this massive python was now entirely paralyzed, unable to move, and was but one step from death.
Chen Jie looked at the massive python, then up at the cave ceiling, seeing those bats stirring restlessly, ready to swoop down with the flap of their wings.
Chen Jie knew there was danger, yet the giant snake was obviously a treasure, though he couldn’t take it with him.
Chen Jie waved his hand, and a short knife appeared in it; he aimed it at the snake’s seven inches, stabbing it in. The snake’s head trembled in pain, yet with its spine fully fractured, it couldn’t stand or move.
The formerly haughty demeanor vanished, leaving it like a lamb awaiting slaughter.
This world operates , weak flesh consumed by the strong, preying upon each other. When you see yourself as the hunter, you may not realize that in mere moments, you could become the prey.
This is the Natural Law, survival of the fittest, entirely unreasonable.
Chen Jie stabbed seven inches deep and then cut upward, opening it up instantly, focusing on the snake’s gall inside, slicing it off, and tossing it into the Iron Ring.
This gall of the Energy Transformation demon-powered python was a precious medicine, even usable by Holding Core Realm and Wolf Smoke Realm cultivators.
It is a top-grade ingredient in Alchemy.
It could be said, the most valuable part of this python is its gall. If the python’s worth were ten silver taels, nine taels’ worth would be in that gall.
