He had never seen this spell before!

This might be the work of some reclusive holy monk who suddenly attained enlightenment and then wrote down his unique skills.

This is a blessing for Yun Chuan, a blessing for Buddhism, and a blessing for all living beings!

He didn't know, and in the end, all he could do was sigh, "Benefactor Yun is a person with great opportunities and great fortune."

Others couldn't help but feel the same way. No one had expected that today's seemingly sure battle would be marred by such unexpected changes, which instead transformed Yun Chu'an into the absolute core of this battle.

Bai Suwan's hope for victory was rekindled. She glanced into the distance and saw the Yellow Python Ancestor rise from the rock strata again. She quickly said, "We can talk about other things later. Right now, our top priority is to eliminate the Yellow Python Ancestor as soon as possible!"

Everyone snapped out of their daze and looked into the distance, where they saw the enormous serpent, tens of thousands of meters long, fly into the air again, its eyes filled with hatred as it stared in their direction.

Immediately, Sheng Linglong said, "Let's go! Chu An, come with me and protect yourselves!"

Yun Chuan nodded in agreement, and the crowd immediately dispersed, transforming into streaks of light and attacking the Yellow Python Ancestor from all directions.

On the other side, the giant python, which was ten thousand meters long, looked at the crowd that was attacking again, feeling resentful. However, at this moment, it couldn't help but feel apprehensive, as the shadow of defeat once again crept into its heart.

The spells he was originally proud of, his most treasured secret technique, had ironically become something that restrained him, making him afraid to use them anymore.

If he really didn't use it, he was already injured, while Yan Shuiyi had already broken through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. If they continued to fight, his chances of winning would be much lower!

No...that's not right.

It's not that it's completely unusable.

As long as... he's killed!

His gaze was fixed on Yun Chuan, and he already understood that today he only had Yun Chuan as his nemesis!

Once he is killed, the "Heavenly Dragon Roar" will have no nemesis, and he can still use it to kill the remaining enemies!

Just kill him!

"Well--!"

With a fierce determination, he lunged downwards, heading straight for Yun Chu'an, his blood-red maw wide open, ready to swallow him whole!

As long as I kill this insignificant cultivator at the early stage of the Golden Core realm with my own strength, then no one else can stop me!

Yun Chuan flew swiftly behind Sheng Linglong, and when he saw the enormous creature swooping down towards him, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Chapter 506 Yan Shui Yi's Heart and Intentions

However, if the Yellow Python Ancestor could realize this, there was no reason why the others here couldn't. Immediately, Sheng Linglong waved her hand and shouted, "Everyone, lend all your power to Chu An, and make sure to preserve his fighting strength!"

Before she could finish speaking, the monk Huijing beside her had already begun chanting the mantra: "Golden body of merit, indestructible!"

He sat cross-legged, hands clasped together, as if praying and chanting for Yun Chu'an. Golden light fell upon him; Hui Jing had used all her magical power to bless and protect Yun Chu'an.

Suddenly, a phantom wheel of merit appeared behind Yun Chu'an, illuminating him with golden light, making him look like a golden Arhat.

He didn't know how to use this power; he simply operated the "Bodhi Mirror Platform" instinctively, and then...

Behind Huijing, a similarly dazzling wheel of merit also lit up, making him resemble a powerful golden Arhat!

"Um?!"

Hui Jing suddenly opened his eyes, but then he understood what was going on.

The law of cause and effect is inescapable; those who do evil will be punished, and those who do good will be rewarded!

The Bodhi Mirror Platform continuously repays this kindness with boundless gratitude, allowing Abbot Huijing to fully enjoy the protective power of this meritorious golden body!

"It works wonders!"

Immediately, the high monk, his voice trembling with excitement, cried out, "Everyone, please spare no effort and lend your power to benefactor Yun Chu'an!"

With him taking the lead, the others were even less likely to delay. Chen Shuling took out the chime bells that his family was proud of from his storage bag, activated his magic power to play them, and guided the power into Yun Chuan's body. Afterwards, he also felt the spiritual power in his body surging and boiling, and the power he sent out returned to him.

Sheng Linglong was not stingy with her power. She took out her magic weapon, a folding fan, and fanned it to give Yun Chuan an even greater speed of wind. At the same time, she also felt her own speed increase.

Not to mention Ge Xiang, You Wensi, Nie Ningshuang, and Bai Suwan, who also hurriedly sent out their power and poured it into his body.

Yan Shuiyi was in the same boat, but she was troubled by her lack of knowledge of techniques to assist others. A thought flashed through her mind, and she gritted her teeth, took off the sachet given to her by the Holy Maiden of Joyful Union, infused it with her spiritual power to activate it, and then threw it into Yun Chu'an's arms: "Here you go!"

Yun Chu'an took it subconsciously, but didn't have time to examine it carefully at the moment, and hung it on his waist.

At this moment, with the support of numerous powers, he felt his entire body burning up. He could barely control so much spiritual energy, and his body was almost on fire.

Excessive spiritual power seems to have become a burden. If an ordinary Golden Core cultivator suddenly possessed such a massive amount of power, he would probably not only be unable to exert much combat power, but would also be imprisoned by the massive power and unable to move.

However, he possesses the Heavenly Spiritual Root.

The Yellow Python Ancestor had already arrived, and he had no time to unleash those exquisite and complex offensive spells. He activated his most core technique, the "Divine Firmament Thunder Control True Technique," to its maximum, burning and consuming this power with the greatest efficiency: "Radiant and mighty spirit, obey my command—!"

A gigantic, illusory yellow scroll spun and danced in mid-air, while surging golden lightning shot straight up into the heavens. Thanks to his extraordinary talent as a Heavenly Spiritual Root, he miraculously mobilized this vast energy, which was not part of his own cultivation, and then used the lightning to create a Dharma image for himself!

A thunderous giant, a thousand meters tall, stands majestically in the deep mountains, sweeping away the surrounding winds and illuminating everything around it.

From the outside, this giant of thunder looks like a golden terracotta warrior, standing tall and majestic in the mountains.

However, these terracotta warriors are not inanimate objects at this moment, but living ones, and the Guan Dao they hold contains boundless power.

"Ah--!"

The Yellow Python Ancestor had arrived in front of him, its ten-thousand-meter-long body coiling and colliding, wrapping around the terracotta warrior, trying to crush it to pieces.

However, the golden lightning immediately pierced through his body, causing his scales to stand on end. The smell of burning flesh instantly emanated from the gaps in his scales, causing black smoke to billow from his body!

"Well--!"

At this moment, even as a Nascent Soul stage demon, he felt unbearable pain. He screamed shrilly, completely disregarding his injuries, only wanting to crush this towering thunder giant with his brute force as quickly as possible, and then kill Yun Chu'an!

Kill him! Kill him!

As long as I kill him, I can turn the tide with "Heavenly Dragon Roar" and win!

Everything, everything is mine!

Under the intense pain, the Yellow Python Ancestor's mind and soul were almost driven mad.

However, Yun Chu'an was not the only one involved in this battle.

"Where!"

Behind the Yellow Python Ancestor, Bai Suwan circled his body rapidly, her eyes flashing like lightning, her hands forming seals, and she unleashed wave after wave of spiritual energy.

These spiritual energies had no offensive power, but they marked one weakness after another on his body. She knew this snake's techniques all too well; even though the most fatal flaw had been patched, it didn't mean the technique was perfect!

Moreover, with her previous experience, marking these gaps was a piece of cake for her. Although these weaknesses weren't fatal, they were still gaps, and the group attacking the snake was currently in a state of high morale!

Who could have imagined that lending power to Yun Chuan would actually benefit oneself in return? At this moment, all the Golden Core cultivators who were besieging Bai Suwan were in a peak state they had never imagined before, so they followed Bai Suwan's steps and unleashed their strongest attacks.

Yan Shuiyi's Heaven-Opening Sword, Monk Huijing's Buddha Palm, Ge Xiang's Spirit Sword Finger, You Wensi's Soul-Capturing Curse, and Nie Ningshuang's Mystic Ice—

One deadly technique after another struck, exploiting the weaknesses and flaws in the Yellow Python Ancestor's techniques, penetrating his body, blasting his scales into pieces, leaving his flesh and blood mangled, his spiritual energy in chaos, and his techniques sluggish.

This enormous python was still planning to crush Yun Chu'an's Thunder Giant Dharma Image, but the more it exerted its strength, the more it found that its spiritual power was leaking out and becoming disordered, its whole body was out of control, and it was becoming weaker and weaker, unable to exert any strength, and the force it was exerting was getting weaker and weaker.

Finally, when his once overwhelming power weakened to a critical point, Yun Chu'an's thunderous magic finally broke free from his entanglement!

"Well--!"

The giant, towering a thousand meters tall, used its massive arms to break free from the Yellow Python Ancestor's coils. At the giant's core, Yun Chu'an, gripping his Guan Dao (a type of halberd), endured the searing pain that seemed to burn through his veins along with his spiritual energy, and controlled his Guan Dao to slash downwards.

In the moment when he was completely focused, he did not notice that the sachet given to him by Yan Shui Yi at his waist suddenly emitted a faint glow.

Outside, Yan Shuiyi, who was fighting alongside Huang Mang Laozu with her sword, suddenly felt something. She felt that her will and thoughts were being drawn together with another person. On the other side of this round of thoughts, the person who was connected to her heart seemed to be clumsily trying to use her sword intent, but could not get the hang of it.

Suddenly, she understood. She turned to look in Yun Chu'an's direction. Although she didn't understand why, at that moment, her thoughts and his intentions were connected, so—

Driven by her intuition, the girl disregarded everything else for a moment. Her body, like a celestial being descending from the heavens, was drawn by Yun Chu'an's thoughts, passing unharmed through the lightning and penetrating deep into the thunderous imagery, until she reached his side, embraced him from behind, and took his hand: "Do you still remember the sword intent I once taught you?"

The moment her hand touched his, Yun Chu'an felt as if he had been struck by a divine inspiration. The sword intent that he had tried to comprehend several times before but could never quite grasp suddenly gained another layer of understanding: "I remember, fairy!"

"Then, follow me and do it together!"

Chapter 507 Yan Shuiyi's Admiration

Yan Shui hugged him from behind, held his hand, and guided him, together controlling this colossal behemoth that reached the heavens and the earth, causing the golden guan dao formed of thunder to fall.

It landed on the exhausted Yellow Python Ancestor.

When the lightning, which resembled divine punishment, struck, it ignited the deepest fear within the great serpent!

"No, impossible—how could a mere Golden Core cultivator possibly—"

A golden lightning blade slashed down, splitting the Yellow Python Ancestor's body in two, the lightning piercing through his nascent soul from the front.

The man roared in disbelief, but when he sensed the nascent soul within his abdomen, located seven inches from his core, smiling amidst the lightning strike, he clearly realized that he was utterly powerless to reverse the situation on his own.

He couldn't even escape his soul!

In his final moments, all he could do was cry out into the distance, "Master, save me—!"

Hidden in the shadows, the evil monk frowned deeply, showing no intention of revealing himself, remaining completely still.

He couldn't understand Yun Chu'an's background, and he didn't know what virtue or ability this man had that allowed him to possess both the Buddhist and Taoist top-level magical arts at the same time. In the end, he was able to accept all comers and gather the power of everyone, and with his mere early Golden Core cultivation, he went against the tide and killed a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Admittedly, many people were helping him, but those people were all only at the Golden Core stage. No matter how united a group of mice are, can they defeat an elephant?

Yun Chu An... Yun Chu An...

Who is he?

What lies behind all of this?

Is it Buddha watching over me, giving me a warning?

Or is it some Taoist deity who is manipulating the threads of fate?

The evil monk had no idea what wrong things he had done in the past, or which bodhisattva or Buddha he might have offended; no one knew better than him.

He glanced up again, then at the person in the distance, and finally decided to be cautious.

If I were to take action here and kill Huijing and Yanshuiyi, no matter how cleanly I handle the aftermath, those bodhisattvas would know where I am.

No rush, no rush. Now is not the time to make a big splash.

He turned and fled swiftly, not even bothering to glance at the other yellow pythons. The only one in this family who might be of any value to him was their ancestor, Yellow Python Diao San; the others were almost certainly not at the Nascent Soul stage, and were of no use to someone of his level.

He turned and left, and in the distance, the towering, thousand-meter-high terracotta warriors gradually disappeared.

Under Yan Shuiyi's guidance, Yun Chuan, who had unleashed a devastating strike, was completely exhausted. He felt as if his meridians were burning with pain, and for a moment he was unable to circulate any of his techniques. He could only hang in the air like a corpse.

Fortunately, Yan Shuiyi was still holding him from behind. Seeing his exhausted and weak state, the girl's big eyes blinked, revealing an undisguised affection.

Her heart pounded wildly. Holding him tightly, she could almost smell his masculine scent, which awakened a long-dormant memory, making her uncontrollably flutter with excitement, almost conquering her—

Finally, when Yun Chuan weakly turned his head back, his gaze met hers, and he revealed a weak but bright smile, Yan Shui felt as if something was missing from her heart.

At that very moment, a system notification suddenly rang in his mind: "Ding, Yan Shui's trust level with the host has increased to 'Admiration'."

Yun Chu'an was slightly surprised, but then, Bai Suwan's excited voice rang out from the side: "Diao San is dead! We won!"

Everyone snapped out of their daze and looked at the yellow python's corpse, broken in two and charred black from head to toe, on the ground. They were all in disbelief, unable to believe that they had actually accomplished the feat of slaughtering a Nascent Soul cultivator today.

Before they could even cheer and rejoice, they heard the monk Huijing hurriedly say, "The Dragon King is still inside that snake demon's belly! Quickly, go and rescue him!"

As he spoke, he sped downhill first, and the others, regaining their senses, followed suit.

When the remains of the yellow python were dissected, the figure of the Wei River Dragon King was long gone, leaving only pale bones inside, which seemed not to have been completely digested yet.

Fortunately, amidst the stark white bones, a smooth golden core lay quietly. Though it seemed unable to move, thankfully, the golden core had not completely lost its vitality.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Monk Huijing spread out his hands, silently chanted a spell, and carefully put away the golden elixir, preparing to return it to the Dragon Palace later, so that the Dragon King of the Wei River could be resurrected again.

The hard-won victory was finally achieved, and everyone was still filled with excitement, unsure of how to express it.

As a monk, Huijing was the most composed. After carefully putting away the golden elixir, he immediately glanced around before turning to Yun Chuan and asking in a deep voice, "Benefactor Yun, among all of us here, you are the only one who truly understands the inner workings of the Yellow Python Demon."

"During this period of time, have you noticed any mysterious people infiltrating the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes? They will most likely have obvious Buddhist characteristics."

Hui Jing was filled with worry at this moment. Coupled with the cry of "Master" that sounded like a plea for help from the Yellow Python Ancestor before his death, he could almost conclude that a mysterious evil monk had appeared behind the Yellow Python Ancestor in the past few days.

This guy not only cured the most fatal flaw in the Yellow Python Ancestor's technique, but more importantly, he taught it the Buddhist ultimate skill he had just learned.

If Yun Chuan hadn't happened to possess the opponent's nemesis, they would all most likely have perished here today, taken away by the opponent along with everyone else!

The emergence of such a despicable traitor within Buddhism has caused Huijing considerable anxiety. However, despite Buddhism having arguably the largest number of monks in the world, it lacks a tight organization, with monks in various temples acting independently. Consequently, he currently lacks a clear strategy for investigating and uncovering the truth about this wicked monk.

In the end, he even had to rely on Yun Chuan's intelligence.
