Chapter 98

The vortex was once again manifested, beginning to draw out the soul essence from the fire python's body.

This fire python was a soul entity, and even an existence at the Yuanying realm. Once it was refined, the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow would undoubtedly benefit greatly.

However, refining this fire python was no easy task.

Roar!

Although the fire python was trapped, it still struggled, roaring continuously, and its massive tail lashed out, distorting the rune light barrier.

Although the array was constantly devouring the fire python's soul power, it was not easy to drastically reduce its momentum.

"Quickly, use your Swallowing Heaven Tower to suppress it," the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow urged Xiao Yun.

"Swallowing Heaven Tower?" Xiao Yun's brows furrowed; he was still unable to activate the Swallowing Heaven Tower!

"I'll risk it." Seeing the fire python continuously impact the rune light barrier, causing it to crack, Xiao Yun could only sense the Swallowing Heaven Tower, hoping to suppress the fire python with it. Otherwise, if this demonic python broke free, he would surely not escape death.

The Swallowing Heaven Devouring God Technique was activated, and Xiao Yun tried to sense the Swallowing Heaven Tower.

Buzz!

The Swallowing Heaven Tower trembled, emitting a series of light patterns, and a mysterious wave spread out, seemingly sensing the fire python's aura.

A vortex appeared, like a passage from the netherworld, capable of devouring all things.

This vortex had also appeared when dealing with the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow.

After the vortex appeared, the light patterns flickered, containing boundless mysteries, and a heart-stirring aura continuously spread out.

This was Xiao Yun's greatest trump card, rarely used. Now, facing the fire python, he had no choice but to activate it.

In front of others, he would never activate it unless in a desperate situation.

Because once he activated the Swallowing Heaven Tower, it would expose many of his secrets, making him the envy of the world.

Xiao Yun knew well the principle that possessing great treasures invites disaster.

Bang!

Just as the vortex was manifested, the fire python tore through the light barrier and broke free.

"What is this?" However, as soon as the fire python escaped, it saw the vortex. The aura of devouring heaven and earth made it feel uneasy, and its soul trembled, as if the vortex was specifically designed to devour soul entities like itself.

In fact, it was.

Because the Swallowing Heaven Devouring God Technique required soul entities to enhance its power.

"Suppress it!" Xiao Yun's eyes flickered, controlling the Swallowing Heaven Tower with his soul power. Instantly, the runes on the tower flickered, and a massive tower emerged from the vortex, floating in the air, emitting a vast and powerful aura.

The tower's body shimmered with light, like a divine object floating in the star river, possessing the aura of devouring heaven and earth.

That aura made the fire python's heart tremble.

"Is this a divine artifact?" The fire python was startled.

Buzz!

At this moment, the Swallowing Heaven Tower trembled, and the light patterns at its base flickered, forming a vortex that descended to suppress the fire python.

"No!" The fire python's eyes turned cold, and it roared, "Wanting to devour me is not that easy."

The fire python's body was enveloped in flames, emitting a terrifying aura.

"Using my soul as fire, burn!" The fire python's eyes turned fierce, and it suddenly chanted, as if praying to a deity. A terrifying wave immediately swept out from its body, and then it flickered, separating another fire python from itself.

"This is not good; the fire python is using a forbidden technique," the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow exclaimed.

"Forbidden technique?" Xiao Yun also sensed a daunting wave. Even the massive tower formed by the Swallowing Heaven Tower rippled, indicating it was affected. It was clear that the fire python was making a final counterattack.

Burn, world!

The fire python's eyes narrowed, and the separated fire python suddenly transformed into a raging fire, exploding violently.

Bang!

A loud explosion echoed, flames erupted, and a powerful shockwave swept out, dispersing the vortex. The scorching flames seemed capable of burning everything, even making souls feel uneasy. The flames, like runes, surged towards the Swallowing Heaven Tower.

It was clear that the fire python intended to incinerate the Swallowing Heaven Tower.

Thud!

The massive tower trembled and was shattered. Xiao Yun felt as if he had been hit, and he involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood.

Although the massive tower was just formed by runes, it contained Xiao Yun's soul power, and now it had been injured by the fire python.

Thud, thud!

Xiao Yun's figure retreated, his face slightly pale.

Strength, all of this was due to his lack of strength, unable to fully activate the Swallowing Heaven Tower, which led to his injury by the fire python.

However, cultivation is a gradual process and cannot be achieved overnight.

Xiao Yun sighed, his eyes narrowing as he continued to look at the void ahead.

There, the fire python soared in the air, its momentum significantly weakened.

Hiss!

The fire python roared, its body coiling as it angrily rushed towards Xiao Yun.

"Hmph, do you think you can trap me with your puny skills?" The fire python sneered, opening its massive mouth and lunging at Xiao Yun.

"Seal it!" At this moment, the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow acted, pulling down a light barrier from the array to trap the fire python.

"You are also a spirit, why are you so eager to harm me?" The fire python glared at the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow.

"If I don't kill you, will you let me go?" The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow laughed coldly and shouted, "Swallow it!"

Whoosh!

The array activated, and a massive vortex appeared, beginning to devour the fire python's soul power.

"Fine, since it's like this, I'll risk it." The fire python roared, staring at the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow, "Even if I exhaust some of my soul power, as long as I can refine you, I can recover some of my strength and possibly gain your various legacies and powers."

It had also seen the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow's extraordinary bloodline.

Burn, my soul!

The fire python roared, burning its soul power, determined to fight the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow to the death.

"Damn it." The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow's eyes narrowed, and his heart tightened. The fire python was too strong and fearless of death, with extremely ruthless and decisive actions, far surpassing the mental fortitude of Qiu Xuanfeng. It was a formidable opponent.

"Swallow!" The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow tried to devour the fire python's soul power, attempting to weaken its strength.

This array, like the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow, would continuously refine and absorb the soul power.

Bang!

However, the fire python was too strong. The forbidden technique of burning soul power was incredibly powerful. As soon as it was used, it shattered the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow's devouring array. Under the influence of the mind, the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow's body trembled, and he retreated, his aura slightly weakened.

"Haha, let me devour you." The fire python sneered, "Fire Python Devours Heaven!"

Whoosh!

The fire python's body expanded, its mouth opening wide, as large as a house, and it lunged at the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow.

The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow's face was grave. He could also use a forbidden technique, but it would harm his foundation and be difficult to recover.

Even if he recovered, it would be extremely difficult to return to his peak.

It was because he used a forbidden technique in the past that he fell to this state!

Xiao Yun was also worried. He was still injured and could not deal with the fire python.

Eya!

Just as the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow hesitated, the white little beast suddenly made a sound, its eyes slightly dazed, staring at the fire python.

Hearing this sound, the fire python was slightly stunned, its eyes showing a hint of confusion.

"Is it that demon?" When the fire python looked at the white little beast, its eyes suddenly narrowed, showing a face full of fear.

At this moment, the white little beast formed a hand seal, and a mysterious rune appeared in its palm.

As the rune formed, a similar rune appeared on the fire python's forehead, shimmering with light.

Ah!

The fire python exclaimed, its eyes full of panic, staring at the white little beast with a look of unwillingness, roaring, "What is this? Didn't you already disappear? The restriction I placed on you was clearly gone, so why did it reappear?"

"Who are you? Could you be that demon...?" The fire python was surprised and full of doubt, staring at the white little beast.

"Eya?" The white little beast muttered to itself, its eyes dazed, seemingly not understanding what the fire python was saying.

However, it soon focused its eyes, and the hand seal was suddenly activated.

"No!" The fire python exclaimed, feeling the restriction on its forehead breaking.

"No, I don't want to die, burn me!"

The fire python tried to resist the restriction.

However, the restriction on its forehead flashed and exploded.

Bang!

With a loud explosion, the fire python's entire body immediately exploded.

"Dead?" The Swallowing Heaven Sparrow blinked, showing a puzzled look, staring at the white little beast with suspicion, "Could this restriction have been placed by this little guy?" Recalling the fire python's words, the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow vaguely felt that there must be a connection between the two.

"Who is this guy?" Xiao Yun also stared at the white little beast with surprise.

Could the demon the fire python mentioned be the white little beast?

This was confusing.

Eya!

Seeing Xiao Yun and the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow staring at it, the white little beast made a sound, covering its face with its paws, seemingly a bit embarrassed, a sight that made people unable to resist laughing. It was hard to associate the cute little beast with a demon.

"No one is blaming you." Xiao Yun shrugged and smiled, "You did well this time." Regardless, if it weren't for the white little beast's intervention, the outcome would have been very dangerous, so there was no need to investigate its background.

At least now, this little guy was very cute.

"Eya, eya!" Hearing Xiao Yun's praise, the white little beast quickly extended its little paws, staring at Xiao Yun with wide eyes, clearly asking for a reward, which made Xiao Yun speechless. It was truly a glutton!

"Good, big brother will give you something later." Xiao Yun said.

Eya!

The white little beast nodded, showing understanding.

Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief but soon frowned, his eyes tightly focused on the front.

There, the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow activated a large array, sealing the fire python's scattered soul consciousness and beginning to devour it.

Although the fire python had fallen, its soul power had not completely dissipated. If all of it was devoured, it could nourish the mind.

"Great, you're going to take it all for yourself." Xiao Yun frowned, seeing the Swallowing Heaven Sparrow silently enjoying it. Not wanting to be outdone, he quickly activated the Swallowing Heaven Devouring God Technique, forming a vortex that turned into a massive tower to start plundering the soul power.

Whoosh!

As the Swallowing Heaven Tower absorbed, a vast soul power flowed into Xiao Yun's dantian.

This soul power was incredibly pure, far more valuable than soul spirit grass and other spiritual medicines by hundreds of times.

This was the soul power condensed by a powerful being over a lifetime, how could it be simple?

With the nourishment of the soul power, Xiao Yun felt his depleted soul power rapidly replenished.

The soul weakness and various injuries he had suffered in the past began to recover.

Not only that, but Xiao Yun also felt a sense of impending breakthrough.

This made him very excited.

If the Devouring God Technique broke through to the second level, his strength would undoubtedly undergo a qualitative leap!
