"Let's see who's more capable!"

Yin Liuli coldly retorted, "Once I retrieve His Majesty's primordial spirit, I'll strip you of your python skin and use it to compensate for my clothes!"

"You brat, come here and face your death!"

Enraged by her, the python spirit roared and suddenly opened its blood-spitting maw, swallowing Yin Liuli's head whole.

Its python body was so tall and thick that it was incredibly imposing.

Compared to it, Yin Liuli was like a bean sprout.

A foul stench swept over them. Yin Liuli raised her hand and swiftly drew a "Mysterious Yin Dragon Locking Talisman" in her palm.

"The turbid Yin Qi transforms into crimson surging, the Thunder Department of the Nine Heavens locks the Azure Dragon, the Golden Spears and Iron Horses shatter the rebellious scales, the Earth Fire and Lava Burn the Demon God!"

"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands! The Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation and Responding Thunder of the Nine Heavens... Imperial decree!"

With a flick of his finger, a burst of spiritual light shot from his fingertip toward the python immortal's enormous head.

"boom……"

With a loud bang, a cloud of bloody smoke rose before Yin Liuli's eyes.

She leaped backward, raised her hand, and the Yin-Yang umbrella hanging above her head reversed direction, completely blocking the blood mist.

"Hiss..."

A painful hissing sound reached his ears, and the python immortal's huge body trembled violently as if electrocuted, like a whip that had gone out of control, wildly whipping its body in the Qian Yuan Palace.

"Boom..."

The palace wall collapsed with a crash after being struck by the python's head, which then swung towards Yin Liuli.

"Master, be careful!"

With a cry of surprise, he saw the python head charging towards him, grabbed his knife, rushed in front of Yin Liuli, and raised his hand to strike.

"Clang!"

The long knife was aimed at the large, bluish-black snake scales.

His hand went numb, as if he had struck an iron plate, and the long sword in his hand almost flew out of his hand.

Since his primordial spirit was damaged last time, his ghostly power has been greatly reduced.

I was shocked. A gaping maw was already above my head. It was too late to run away.

"Imperial Edict!"

A beam of light flew out from Yin Liuli's hand, and with a swift movement of her left hand, she caught Wa Ya Ya in mid-air.

"Wow!"

He gasped for breath and looked at the long sword in his hand with a frustrated expression.

This sword accompanied him on his campaigns, killing countless enemies and stained with the blood of many; it exuded a chilling aura.

After his death, the spirit of his sword materialized and became his sword again.

Such a powerful thing couldn't even scratch the skin of the python immortal!

It's not as effective as a talisman from the master.

"hiss……"

The light, like a sharp blade, cut a bloody wound on the python's body.

Crimson snake blood spurted out, filling the air with a strong stench of blood.

Driven mad by pain, the python spirit raised its enormous head and rammed it wildly, its long body sweeping erratically across the ground as if trying to escape.

How could Yin Liuli let it escape?

"Demon-Sealing Talisman! Go!"

She flipped her fingers, a talisman flashed across her palm, and an invisible chain rose into the air.

The clanging of the chains echoed in his ears; the demon-locking chains had firmly bound the python spirit into a long, twisted rope.

"Hiss... hiss..."

The python spirit's eyes were filled with pain, and it kept flicking its tongue as it spoke intermittently.

"I, I've cultivated for a thousand years, how could I possibly lose... to a little girl like you!"

"Enough with the nonsense, hand over His Majesty's primordial spirit."

Yin Liuli stepped on its head, feeling the slippery scales beneath her feet were harder than iron.

Standing before the snake's head, which was the size of a carriage, her slender figure appeared exceptionally small, and she had to look up to see the snake's eyes.

A flicker of fear flashed in the python's ferocious eyes.

"You brat, if I hand over...hand it over...do you think you can spare my life?"

"Snap"

Before he could finish speaking, he kicked it on the head with a loud bang, and said angrily.

"Who are you calling a brat?"

"Little...little Taoist priest, could you...spare my life?"

The python immortal shuddered in pain, pleading, "I've only cultivated for a thousand years with great difficulty, I don't want to die... I don't want to die!"

"Snap"

With a whoosh, he picked up the knife and slammed it hard on its head.

"That old monster is indeed an old monster, always calling me 'this humble one,' you're quite proud of yourself!"

The python immortal opened its mouth weakly.

"Alright, alright, let's talk this out."

Yin Liuli waved her hand, her tone sharp, "Don't try to negotiate with me, hand over the Emperor's primordial spirit."

The python spirit weakly flicked its tongue and struggled.

"Young Taoist priest, if you promise not to kill me, I will... I will hand over my primordial spirit."

"Kill me, and you'll never save that emperor!"

Yin Liuli glanced at it, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"Fine, I promise I won't kill you with my own hands."

She wasn't compromising; she just searched for the Emperor's primordial spirit as soon as she entered, but couldn't find it. Presumably, the Python Immortal had hidden it on his person.

If it were on its body, it couldn't be killed with the Five Thunder Technique, otherwise the Emperor's primordial spirit would be annihilated along with it.

"Really?"

The python immortal's pupils dilated for a moment, and it said in a trembling voice, "If you... if you lie to me and kill me, all the tens of millions of snakes and their offspring in the world will come to seek revenge on you!"

Yin Liuli blinked and nodded earnestly.

"I mean what I say. I swear to God I will never kill you with my own hands."

"Hiss..."

The python spirit relaxed completely, then suddenly opened its enormous mouth, spitting out a small red ball from its throat, and panting heavily as it said...

"I... I've stored the Emperor's primordial spirit in my inner elixir, but I haven't... I haven't refined it yet."

"So this is what the inner core looks like?"

Yin Liuli reached out and caught the inner core floating in the air in her palm.

Whether it's a human or an animal, the first step in cultivation is to form an inner elixir in the dantian.

The inner elixir appears to be a solid sphere, but it is actually just a mass of condensed true energy.

The moment it touched my palm, a chilling sensation seeped into my skin, then instantly turned as hot as a fireball.

Yin Liuli's slender fingers grabbed a handful of the inner core.

She caught a humanoid phantom, smaller than a finger, in her hand.

"Luckily, it wasn't refined."

Yin Liuli breathed a sigh of relief and threw the illusory figure away.

The phantom image magnified in the air, and the Emperor's appearance slowly emerged.

It was surrounded by a thin aura, its face was filled with confusion, and it seemed about to collapse.

Yin Liuli took out a jade pendant, flipped her fingers, and a flash of light appeared at her fingertips.

"receive."

She gave a soft shout and stored the emperor's spirit into the jade pendant.

"Let go...let me go! Let me go!"

The python immortal's long body trembled, twisting desperately, trying to break free from the demon-locking chains that bound it.

Yin Liuli frowned slightly.

"How many living people have you eaten over the years in your quest to become an immortal? You still want to live? Dream on!"

"W-What did you say?!"

The python spirit looked at her in terror and screamed.

"Young Taoist priest, you promised me! How could you go back on your word..."

Yin Liuli snorted coldly.

"You even dared to harm the Emperor of Dachang! The emperor is the ruler of a country. Do you know how many years of fortune the Dachang Dynasty will suffer if you harm him?"

The python spirit roared angrily.

"What does the fate of the Great Chang Dynasty have to do with me? I have lived for over a thousand years and have witnessed countless dynastic changes."

All I know is that I can't break through to the final realm; only by absorbing the emperor's dragon energy can I become an immortal!
