"Ninth level of Burning Heaven Sword Technique!"

"Dongtian realm?"

"almost!"

On the top of the mountains, Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the world below.

His gaze was deep and cold, as if it could penetrate the clouds and reach the earth below.

Linquan County, a county under Wansheng Prefecture!

This is the place where he and Zi Yao Sizhu agreed to meet.

This time, Lu Xuan refined more than a dozen sacrificial vessels and nearly a hundred spiritual objects from heaven and earth.

From seven-patterned moon-level sacrificial vessels to star-level sacrificial vessels.

All the spiritual objects in heaven and earth are of top grade or above, and there are even three spiritual objects from the cave heaven.

The system points refined from these things, plus the system points remaining from before, allowed Lu Xuan to obtain a total of 708000 system points.

And advancing the Burning Heaven Sword Technique from the eighth level to the ninth level consumed exactly 70 system points.

Now, his Burning Heaven Sword Technique has reached perfection, and its power has reached an unprecedented limit.

However, what made Lu Xuan feel regretful was.

His martial arts realm did not break through to the great perfection of Dongxu in one fell swoop due to the progress of Burning Heaven Sword Technique.

That is the realm of the Lord of the Cave Heaven.

"Lord of the Cave Heaven..." Lu Xuan pondered deeply for a moment.

Although he has not yet broken through to the Great Perfection of the Cave Heaven, his own strength has greatly improved, and he can barely be regarded as a half-Cave Heaven Master.

The purple vortex in Lu Xuan's body is no longer a simple purple power of the rules of heaven and earth.

Around the cave vortex, the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers can be vaguely seen, making it look like a small cave world.

And this is the small world of the cave that only warriors who have reached the great perfection of the Cave Void Realm can possess!

When the power of the laws of heaven and earth reaches perfection, it is time to condense a small world of cave heaven and become the master of cave heaven!
"Not far!"

"Next, if I deduce the other two techniques, I can reach the Cave Heaven Realm in one leap!"

The next moment, Lu Xuan loosened his hands behind his back, slowly turned around, and looked behind him.

After just a dozen or so breaths, two dazzling and soul-stirring rays of light suddenly flashed across the sky.

The two rays of light tore through the sky in an instant, but disappeared in a flash.

About ten meters away from Lu Xuan, two figures slowly floated down like banished immortals, and stood steadily face to face with Lu Xuan.

One of them was wearing a purple dress. The silky fabric flowed as smoothly as flowing water, perfectly outlining her graceful and charming lines.

It’s Zi Yao!

"Master Lu, sorry for the wait!"

The moment Zi Yao landed, a faint smile slowly appeared on her originally cold face.

As for Lu Ze, who was standing behind Zi Yao, the moment he saw Lu Xuan's face clearly, his expression froze instantly, and was replaced by disbelief.

His eyes widened, filled with shock and awe, and his voice rose unconsciously: "It's you, Master Lu!"

"It's really unexpected!"

At this moment, Lu Ze could pat his chest and guarantee that there was absolutely no word in this world that could accurately describe the extreme shock in his heart.

He had imagined this thousands of times before coming, but he never imagined that the person who would come to help would be this person.

Lu Ze originally thought that it would be the old ancestors who had been living in seclusion in the palace who would come out again!
And now Lu Xuan's appearance undoubtedly announced a shocking news to the world.

Lu Xuan, the deputy chief of the Xuanniao Guard who suddenly appeared, has already entered the supreme realm of Dongxu Zhenjun.

In the vast world of the Great Xia Dynasty, True Lord Dongxu is the supreme being.

His every move was enough to shake the world, and he stood above all living beings, becoming a legend admired by all martial arts practitioners in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Lu Ze took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress the turmoil in his heart, and quickly bowed, speaking with extreme humility and respect.

"I am the Chief of the Heavenly Monitoring Department, Lu Ze!"

"Here—I pay my respects to Master Lu!"

Lu Ze's voice trembled slightly. It was obvious that he was completely shocked by Lu Xuan's breakthrough to the realm of True Lord Dongxu.

Facing Lu Ze's bow, Lu Xuan's expression was as calm as water, and he just nodded lightly.

"Master Lu, there's no need to be so polite."

Zi Yao glanced at Lu Xuan from the corner of her eye, a subtle and strange look flashing across her eyes. "Master Lu, I'll leave the matter of the Netherworld Python to you this time."

This Lu Xuan's strength is improving too fast!

What kind of secrets are hidden in him!
Yes, Zi Yao has been secretly keeping an eye on Lu Xuan.

It was really hard for her to imagine what this guy Lu Xuan relied on to achieve the Dongxu realm at the age of twenty.

Even Zi Yao herself didn't know that her calm state of mind would always become extremely chaotic because of Lu Xuan's appearance.

Is it greed?
Is it jealousy?
Or maybe surprise, curiosity?
Lu Ze, who was standing by, suppressed his shock and quickly took over the conversation.

"My two Lords, I have just sensed that the Heaven and Earth Sun and Moon Mirror has locked onto the approximate location of the Netherworld Python."

As soon as these words came out, Zi Yao suddenly turned her head to look at Lu Ze, frowning slightly, as if a little surprised: "Huh?"

"Master Lu, didn't you say that the Netherworld Python has transformed into a human form, and even the Heaven and Earth Sun and Moon Mirror can't accurately reflect its location?"

There was a hint of confusion on Zi Yao's face, and she was obviously surprised by Lu Ze's words.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze quickly explained, "Master Zi Sizhu, I did say earlier that after the Nether Python transformed into a human form, the Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon Mirror found it difficult to accurately lock onto its position."

"However, just now, I discovered that the power of the Nether Python's demonic spirit was suddenly found by the Heaven and Earth Sun and Moon Mirror."

There was a hint of excitement in his tone, and he was obviously proud of the capabilities of the Heaven and Earth Sun and Moon Mirror.

This is the horror of the Heaven, Earth, Sun and Moon Mirror.

Although the Heaven, Earth, Sun and Moon Mirror does not have any offensive power, it can incorporate the aura of all living beings in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Then, the Heaven, Earth, Sun and Moon Mirror can reveal the approximate direction of the owner of this breath of biological energy.

Even beings in the Void Realm, unless they deliberately conceal their aura, will be exposed in front of the Mirror of Heaven, Earth, Sun and Moon.

The power of the Netherworld Python's demonic soul is similar to the Dharma image of heaven and earth of the human True Lord Dongxu.

The appearance of the demon soul is the appearance of the Dharma of heaven and earth!

When Zi Yao heard this, a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes and she nodded and said, "I see."

"It seems that this Netherworld Python has finally revealed its true colors."

Seeing Zi Yao speak, Lu Ze continued, "My two masters, the Nether Python is a hundred miles away!"

"Should we go there immediately?"

At this time, Zi Yao turned to look at Lu Xuan and asked, "Master Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Xuan just nodded lightly, saying briefly and forcefully: "If that's the case, then let's act."

"I just don't know if this flaw was intentional or..."

A demon beast that breaks through to the demon king realm has an intelligence no worse than any human being.

Humph, a flaw...
There was a gleam in Lu Xuan's eyes. He was wondering if this Nether Python was trying to escape by stealing.

However, Lu Xuan has no choice now, he can only try his luck.

After all, this Nether Python was chased by Zi Yao, the leader of the Xuanniao Guard, for a full six months.

Perhaps, this Netherworld Python really couldn't hold back anymore, who knows.

Lu Xuan didn't say anything else. His figure flashed and turned into a dazzling stream of light, flying towards the direction pointed by Lu Ze.

Seeing Lu Xuan had made his choice, Zi Yao and Lu Ze didn't hesitate and hurriedly followed him. Above the sky, three figures streaked across the sky like meteors chasing the moon, speeding off towards a place a hundred miles away.

On the official road leading to Linquan County, an old man who looked very strange was struggling to walk forward, leaning on a rotten gray wooden stick.

The old man was hunched over and his face was haggard, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

However, there was a strange light flickering in the old man's eyes, revealing an extraordinary performance that was completely different from his appearance.

Soon after, a small town slowly appeared in front of them, only a dozen miles away from Linquan County.

"That damn woman from Xuanniaowei is really pestering me." The old man murmured in a low voice, his voice hoarse and cold.

"Hehehe!" He suddenly let out a low laugh, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

"This position should be about right."

He stopped and looked up at the sky, a strange smile on his face: "I just leaked a trace of my aura, I'm afraid that woman from the Xuanniao Guard is coming here."

This strange old man is none other than the Dragon King of Jinlin River, the incarnation of the Netherworld Python!
Nether Python's words were full of sarcasm, and it was obvious that he didn't care about the Xuanniao Guard's tracking at all.

If it was just the woman who appeared in Jinlin River last time, I would not have acted so low-key.

Thinking of this, a trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the Nether Python.

The person it really fears is that damn man, Xia Ritian.

When thinking of the name "Xia Ritian", the Nether Python felt a trace of gnashing hatred in his heart.

Xia Ritian, this bastard human, who knows if he is hiding in the dark, waiting for me to show up again!

However, the Nether Python quickly regained its composure and sneered, "But now, it's almost time to get rid of these annoying flies."

"For this plan, I forcibly used no strength at all and, relying solely on my physical body, crossed over most of the Great Xia Dynasty."

The Nether Python murmured softly, with a hint of self-mockery and pride in its tone.

Although the Nether Python only moves with its physical body, it still possesses the power of the Heavenly Demon (Divine Mansion) realm.

This kind of power is enough to allow the Nether Python to move freely in the human world.

However, in order to avoid being hunted down by Xuanniaowei and Xiaritian, he kept his strength hidden and pretended to be an ordinary human being.

"Hehehe, once I successfully leave the Great Xia Dynasty, it will be the end of you ants!"

The Nether Python sneered softly, with a hint of ferocity flashing in its eyes.

It has had enough of the insidiousness and cunning of these damn humans in the land of the Great Xia Dynasty.

After Patriarch Yuhuang entered this world, he obtained the original power of the Lingxu land.

The ban on this world will completely disappear and be completely exposed in the Tianwu Realm.

By that time, this place will also become the place controlled by Wanshou Mountain.

Oh no!
This should be the place where we, the demon race, get our food!

The Nether Python showed a cruel and ferocious smile on its face, then continued walking towards the town, leaning on the wooden stick.

However, what happened next made the smile on the Nether Python's face stop abruptly.

In the small town ahead, five horses were galloping towards them, the sound of their hooves was like thunder and dust was flying.

In front of the five horses, there was a man, his body covered in blood, who seemed to be being teased and chased by the five horses behind him.

The man staggered, obviously exhausted, but he was still desperately trying to escape forward.

"Run? You owe me money, and you still dare to run?"

On horseback, a burly man with a face full of flesh grinned fiercely and whipped the fleeing man with the whip in his hand.

"Hey hey hey, keep running!"

Several other people were also laughing on horseback, and their shrill laughter was full of cruel mockery.

When the Nether Python saw this, it transformed into an old man and pretended not to see it and walked to the other side.

At the same time, a trace of disgust and disdain flashed in the eyes of the Nether Python, and he sneered in his heart.

These filthy humans are simply not worthy of living in the same realm with us noble demons.

In the eyes of the Nether Python, humans are simply a combination of ignorance, greed, resentment, and cruelty.

At least, when it transformed into a human, there were countless cases of similar killings among its own kind.

Even this supreme being, the Demon King, felt extremely puzzled and disgusted.

Humans are indeed the lowest form of creatures!
However, just as the Nether Python was about to bypass the group of people, the man being chased suddenly ran towards it, shouting, "Help! Help!"

The Nether Python frowned, and a hint of impatience flashed in its eyes.

It didn't want to get involved in this boring human dispute, but the man had already rushed in front of it and grabbed the broken wooden root it was leaning on.

"Old man, save me!"

"They want to kill me!" The man's face was full of horror, and he grabbed the broken wooden root that the Nether Python was leaning on tightly, as if he was grabbing the last straw.

The Nether Python just looked at the man coldly, with endless indifference in his tone: "Let go."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the Nether Python. It was obvious that it was extremely impatient with this human who suddenly entered its sight.

"Hahahaha!" The strong man on horseback also caught up. After seeing the Nether Python, he even held his stomach and laughed wildly.

He waved the whip in his hand and pointed at the man who grabbed the sleeve of the Nether Python.

"Look at this! A loser is actually asking for help from an old man who is about to die!"

The strong man's companions also laughed, as if they had seen something extremely funny.

Their laughter, echoing on the empty official road, seemed particularly harsh.

A flash of anger appeared in the eyes of the Nether Python.

These damn humans really make me mad!
Swish!
There was a sharp sound of a whip breaking through the air, and a whistling wind blew up.

The sturdy man sitting on the horse suddenly swung his whip and hit the Nether Python!

The whip was like a poisonous snake, with a sharp sound of wind, heading straight for the face of the Nether Python.

The sturdy man had a grim smile on his face, and it was obvious that he didn't care about this "old guy" at all, and even had a hint of teasing in his eyes.

Snapped!
The whip quickly passed across the face of the Nether Python, but did not leave even a trace, as if it had hit a piece of hard iron or stone.

"Huh?" The strong man was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of disbelief.

He obviously didn't expect that his whip would have no effect on this "old guy".

However, before the strong man and his companions could react, the old human transformed by the Nether Python suddenly expanded rapidly.

From beneath the bursting skin, azure scales slowly emerged, and the eyes flashed scarlet light.

"What...what is this!" the strong man shouted in horror, with a trembling in his voice.

The next second, the bloody mouth of the Nether Python suddenly opened, and the deep and dark mouth was like an endless abyss.

Its mouth expanded rapidly, swallowing the strong man, his companions, even their horses and several-meter-high clods of earth!

“No——!” The strong man’s screams stopped abruptly, and the whole person disappeared in the mouth of the Nether Python in an instant.

The air around them seemed to freeze, leaving only the huge body of the Nether Python and the bloody smell lingering in its mouth.

The Nether Python's throat rolled as it savored the blood it had just swallowed.

The next moment, the Nether Python stopped chewing and turned back suddenly.

I saw three humans slowly falling from the sky.

"It's you damned humans again."

The Nether Python saw that among these three people, there were two humans it was very familiar with.

Lu Xuan, Zi Yao!
At this moment, Lu Xuan and the other two were looking at the Nether Python strangely, or to be more precise, at the human being it was chewing in its mouth.

Is this a daze?

Several men in the Flesh Refining Realm used whips to beat the supreme demon beast of a demon king.

If this gets out, even if they die, they will become famous all over the world.
