The next moment, before Ye Lin could even react, the Phoenix Fire swiftly rushed towards him, directly burrowing into his body.
Ye Lin sat cross-legged on the ground and hurriedly circulated the Star Art.
Ye Lin's skin was completely red, and his blood vessels were clearly visible.
Scars appeared on the surface of his skin, and above the scars, a crimson glow emanated.
From a distance, the glow seemed to want to escape his body, appearing terrifying.
"Damn it."
Ye Lin's expression was grim, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Inside his body, his internal organs felt as if they were being roasted over a fire.
It was as if a small sun had appeared within him, and the incredibly violent energy felt as if it was about to make him explode.
As time passed, the Phoenix Fire gradually subsided.
And what followed was an indescribable feeling of comfort.
"My strength and defense have both been enhanced."
Noticing the changes in himself, Ye Lin rejoiced inwardly.
The power released by the Phoenix Fire just now had enhanced his strength, defense, and Meridians.
Meridians are where spiritual power flows; the stronger the Meridians, the more violent spiritual power they can withstand, and the more powerful the attacks launched will be.
The formation of a spell often requires first gathering spiritual power, which then travels through the Meridians, and is finally released; the amount of spiritual power gathered in this short time determines the power and intensity of the spell.
And now, Ye Lin was strong enough to crush ordinary Golden Core Stage Late Stage Cultivators.
"Phew, Earth Rank High Grade Phoenix Fire, I can't afford to use it."
Looking at the Phoenix Fire circling his Golden Core, Ye Lin shook his head with a smile.
Previously, he didn't dare to fully activate the Earth Rank Low Grade Phoenix Fire at any given moment, let alone the current Earth Rank High Grade Phoenix Fire.
Roughly estimating, if he were to fully activate it, he would exhaust his spiritual power in at most three breaths.
The spiritual power reserves within a Golden Core Stage Cultivator are extremely terrifying, yet even so, he could only last for three breaths.
"It's better not to use it unless it's a life-or-death moment; three breaths of time, and I'll be drained by you before my opponent even dies."
After speaking, Ye Lin's expression changed slightly, and he turned to look behind him.
The sounds of the battle that had been ongoing had completely stopped.
"Could it be that Xuan Hu died?"
Ye Lin, holding Evil Slayer, walked out of the cave towards the outside world.
From the beginning until now, the battle outside had never stopped.
The perception of a Golden Core Stage Cultivator is incredibly terrifying; he could sense the battle outside.
Previously, Xuan Hu had been at a disadvantage, and now, the battle had stopped.
This couldn't help but make his expression somewhat grim.
Ye Lin picked up the Evil Slayer lying nearby and walked out of the cave.
At this moment, outside the cave, Xuan Hu held a large hammer in one hand, covered in blood, and looked at the Flame Python in front of him, appearing extremely disheveled.
And in the distance, the corpse of a Flame Python lay quietly there.
"Damn human, now, you should die too."
This Golden Core Peak Flame Python was extremely furious; his wife had been brutally hammered to death by this young man right under his nose.
"Hahaha, come on, although I'm at the end of my rope, you still don't dare to go all out right now."
"That tail whip just now couldn't possibly kill a Golden Core Stage Middle Stage Cultivator; you're on alert, worried that my Junior Brother will recover and come out to kill you, aren't you?"
Xuan Hu laughed heartily, standing up with great difficulty, from the moment Ye Lin was struck into the mountain, his life unknown, until now.
The Flame Python in front of him still didn't dare to fight him with all its might, constantly reserving strength to guard against the Ye Lin whose life was unknown.
Otherwise, he would have died long ago at the hands of this Flame Python.
Ultimately, he had still underestimated the combat power of this Flame Python, otherwise, he wouldn't have been in such a sorry state.
"Sword Control Skill, Long Rainbow Piercing the Sun."
Suddenly, the mountain beside the Flame Python exploded, and Evil Slayer shot out like lightning.
Caught off guard, it directly pierced through its massive body.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss, damn it."
Under this attack, the Flame Python was completely enraged, raising its huge head and beginning to ram the Flame Mountain beside it, attempting to force Ye Lin out of it.
"Eight Trigrams Hammer, Qiankun Lixin."
Seeing this, how could Xuan Hu miss such a good opportunity? He stomped on the ground beneath his feet, and his entire body leaped high, swinging his hammer at the Flame Python's head.
With one hammer blow, the Flame Python's huge head was directly smashed into the ground.
"Sword Control Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin."
At this moment, Ye Lin's figure had appeared on the peak of the mountain, rapidly forming hand seals, and countless long swords began to converge.
And the endless swarm of swords directly enveloped the entire Flame Mountain, appearing extremely magnificent.
"Sword Cultivators are just cool."
Xuan Hu on the ground looked at Ye Lin, who was surrounded by the swarm of swords in the sky, then looked at the large hammer in his hand, his face full of envy.
He then raised his giant hammer and delivered another blow to the Flame Python's huge head.
Afterwards, he flashed several times and rushed into the distance.
From Ye Lin's attack, he felt a strong sense of threat.
"Slash."
When it was almost ready, Ye Lin let out a soft cry, and the long sword, like a judgment from the Heavenly Dao, descended directly from the sky.
Boom!
Only a violent explosion was heard, and one-tenth of the entire Flame Mountain was directly cut off by Ye Lin's single sword strike.
And the Flame Python, under this attack, was dismembered.
It had already been nearly exhausted by Xuan Hu, and now, after taking Ye Lin's full-power strike, it would be against the Heavenly Dao if it didn't die.
After dealing with it, Evil Slayer circled Ye Lin's body once and then floated directly behind him.
"Sword Cultivators are indeed cool."
In the distance, Xuan Hu looked at Ye Lin in the sky, his face full of envy.
If he had known, he would have cultivated the Dao of the sword back then.
"Junior Brother Ye, how are you? You were quiet just now, I thought..."
Xuan Hu, holding the large hammer, scratched his head as he walked and spoke.
Hearing this, Ye Lin merely smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother, caught off guard just now, this Flame Python did give me some trouble, but it's not a big problem."
Ye Lin put away Evil Slayer and came before Xuan Hu.
"Good, you can take whatever you want from this Flame Python's body; wait for me here, I'm going to get that Flame Python's eggs."
"Alright."
Watching Xuan Hu's back disappear, Ye Lin then turned his gaze to the Flame Python in front of him.
He then looked up and split the Flame Python's body in two, taking out the Yao Beast Core and the snake gall, and putting the snake gall into his space ring.
The snake gall of snake Yao Beasts can detoxify most poisons, and after refining, it can also remove Medicinal Pill toxins from the body.
Its uses are endless.
Every Medicinal Pill, no matter how good, has some toxicity; each time a Medicinal Pill is refined, corresponding Medicinal Pill toxins accumulate in the body, and when these toxins accumulate too much, they form fatal poisons.
They pose an extremely serious threat to Breakthroughs in Realm and lifespan.
Therefore, every once in a while, Cultivators need to search for a large number of treasures to remove Medicinal Pill toxins.
And snake gall is among the best treasures for removing Medicinal Pill toxins.
After putting away the snake gall, Ye Lin held the Yao Beast Core and quietly waited for Xuan Hu.
Sometimes, one shouldn't be too greedy; since he had already taken the snake gall, he should accordingly leave the Yao Beast Core for the other person.
Being too greedy is not a good thing either.
Anyway, he had already gained enough this time, and he was satisfied.
"Junior Brother Ye, let's go, there are three Flame Python eggs; as long as we take these to the Mission Hall, the mission will be completed."
