279: First Battle with Python

The Body Tempering stage is a very mysterious realm.

Typically, cultivators in this realm focus on comprehending and refining their hearts, cultivating their character, and nurturing their Embryonic Core until it successfully transforms into a Golden Core through nine revolutions.

Therefore, most people in this realm are very low-key, trying to avoid conflict to prevent affecting the Embryonic Core's development.

Because once the Embryonic Core is affected, leading to congenital deficiencies, the quality of the Golden Core will suffer, making them the weakest Golden Core cultivator at their level, which would be a huge loss!

To put it more plainly, the Body Tempering stage is equivalent to a period of weakness, where one dares not act easily.

This gave Su Can a lot of room to maneuver.

If this python were in the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he would indeed be quite apprehensive.

Because demonic beasts possess powerful and naturally superior physical bodies, at the same cultivation stage, their cultivation and strength far exceed those of humans.

Although Su Can was very confident in his cultivation and divine powers, he was, after all, a novice who had never experienced actual combat, so he still felt some pressure.

Moreover, while he believed the several divine powers he cultivated were quite formidable, he hadn't witnessed others unleash the power of their divine powers, so it was better to be cautious.

But now, knowing that this python was in the Body Tempering stage, Su Can's mind immediately became active.

"Hiss hiss!!"

The python narrowed its eyes and flicked its tongue, looking at Su Can.

Just as Su Can had that thought, it seemed to sense the powerful force dormant within Su Can's body.

Its body slowly moved, then suddenly sprang forward, striking first!

Its huge head rushed over with a whoosh, opening its bloody maw and fiercely lunging at Su Can.

Su Can immediately smelled a foul, fishy odor, and seeing the devouring giant mouth and the sharp, bone-white teeth, Su Can's figure flickered, disappearing ten zhang away.

"Hiss!!"

The python's pupils contracted, and it flicked its tongue, seemingly not expecting Su Can's speed to be so fast!

But once it launched an attack, it was too lazy to wait for another opportunity, directly relying on its huge and terrifying body to crush forward.

Rumble!

Large swathes of the forest beneath it were like tiny blades of grass, easily crushed and shattered.

It frantically writhed its body, moving at high speed, its tongue like a sharp sword, fiercely striking at Su Can.

"Good, bring it on!"

Su Can rarely encountered such a powerful opponent, and with the other party currently in the Body Tempering stage, unable to fight at full strength, it was practically a heaven-sent sparring partner.

He let out a low shout, forming the Divine Travel Seal with one hand, moving back and forth without a trace, dodging its attacks.

Then, with his other hand, he secretly formed the Blazing Fire Seal, suddenly finding an opportunity and striking its body with a palm.

Bang!

With this palm strike, the intense heat scorched the python's scales crimson, causing the giant python to hiss in pain, rolling its body and sending Su Can flying.

Su Can only felt a terrifying surge of power erupt, knocking him back dozens of zhang, shattering countless trees along the way.

Fortunately, his body was robust, and fortunately, it wasn't a direct heavy blow.

Otherwise, Su Can felt his bones would have cracked.

"I thought my body was strong enough after cultivating the Gonggong Method, but now that I've encountered this, I realize I still need to continue strengthening my cultivation!"

Of course, in his normal human state, Su Can was not at his strongest.

Boom!

As he pondered, the ground shook violently as the giant python had already caught up, flicking its tail, and a terrifying sonic boom erupted, distorting the air.

Su Can quickly used the Divine Travel Seal to retreat hundreds of meters, trying to avoid direct contact.

But the airflow generated by the snake's tail whip fiercely pursued him, and judging by its transparent, compressed appearance, it was comparable to Solar Divine Gang.

Su Can dared not underestimate it and stomped his foot fiercely.

"Starlight and Bright Moon Body Protection Divine Power!"

Buzz!!

A rich burst of starlight shot out, encircling Su Can's body.

At the same time, above his head, a washbasin-sized Bright Moon cast down its clear light, connecting with the body-protecting starlight, instantly forming a stable and powerful defensive field.

Boom!

The compressed, transparent airflow, comparable to Solar Divine Gang, collided, and the two met with a tremendous roar.

Immediately after, the airflow dispersed, sending dry branches, rotten leaves, gravel, and loose earth flying wildly, creating a chaotic scene.

In contrast, Su Can, protected by the Starlight and Bright Moon Body Protection Divine Power, only retreated four steps, completely unharmed.

At this moment, Su Can, maintaining his Body Protection Divine Power, suddenly leaped, augmented by the Divine Travel Seal, moving like a shooting star, arriving before the giant python.

He raised his hand and grabbed, the washbasin-sized Bright Moon forming a crescent-shaped Solar Divine Gang blade, which he fiercely slashed onto the giant python's body.

Clang!

A sound of metal clashing rang out, sparks flew from Su Can's hand, a scale on the giant python was shattered, and dark red blood seeped out.

"Hiss!!"

The giant python roared in pain and fury, suddenly coiling and biting madly.

Whoosh!

The giant mouth inhaled fiercely, and the powerful and terrifying suction force impeded Su Can's attempt to dodge.

Left with no choice, Su Can could only throw the crescent-shaped Solar Divine Gang blade, which transformed back into a Bright Moon, its moonlight interwoven with starlight, forming a seemingly solid protective shell.

Crack crack!

The next moment, the giant python's bloody maw bit down on Su Can, and instantly, the starlight and moonlight vibrated and glowed, showing signs of shattering.

Creak creak!!

Seeing the dagger-like sharp teeth making a grinding sound, about to pierce the Body Protection Divine Power.

Su Can suddenly roared, and his abundant True Essence and Dharma power surged madly into the divine power. With the replenishment of his True Essence and Dharma power, the Body Protection Divine Power, which was about to be pierced and had become concave, immediately burst forth with brilliant light.

Whoosh!

The dazzling starlight erupted, and the giant python's bloody maw was directly forced open.

Although it was only for an instant, for Su Can, it was enough.

His figure flickered, the Starlight Bright Moon disappeared, and he also escaped from the giant mouth.

The next second.

Su Can let out a fierce shout, arriving above the giant python's head, his left hand grasping the Bright Moon, transforming it into a crescent-shaped Solar Divine Gang blade, and his right hand wielding the Solar Divine Gang, transforming it into a Solar Divine Gang blade.

At this moment, his left and right hands seemed to become magnets, inexplicably entangled, both wanting to close and fiercely repelling each other.

A contradictory sense of antagonistic symbiosis erupted, causing both divine powers to inexplicably go berserk, unleashing dazzling divine light.

Su Can was not in the mood to consider this sudden situation; he only felt that the two divine powers were about to go berserk and needed to be unleashed.

With a fierce shout, he gripped a Solar Divine Gang blade in each hand, one silver-white, one crimson-gold, and fiercely brought them down on the giant python's head.

Boom!

The silver-white and crimson-gold lights exploded.

The giant python immediately shrieked and hissed, the scales on its head burst open, blood flowing freely, and in its pain, it frantically twisted its body, struggling and rolling, directly smashing the surrounding forest into ruins.

Only at this moment did Gu Qingfeng, riding Tiger Da, finally arrive.

He rode on Tiger Da's back, looking at the terrifying and horrifying scene before him, and immediately gasped.

"Holy crap! A python demon!"

Gu Qingfeng's eyes nearly popped out as he looked at the enormous giant python!
