Without Huang Yao by his side to provide guidance, Ye Feng was unaware of the origins of the Black Python. This creature did not belong to the beasts of this era, but judging from its previous display of combat power, it should possess at least the strength of a Sixth-Order Beast, with immense strength and formidable defense, though lacking any special offensive talents.
However, even so, an ordinary late-stage Origin Martial Realm warrior might not be able to handle this Black Python. It was only through Ye Feng's first attempt at the Sword Dance Spiral from the Light Splitting Sword Technique that he managed to kill it in one strike.
The Light Splitting Sword Technique consists of nine forms, with the first three being foundational techniques. Each mastered form allows for an increase in the sword light generated when wielding the sword. Once fully mastered, one can unleash various strange sword lights at will. In previous battles, Ye Feng had been able to handle most situations using just the basic forms of the Light Splitting Sword Technique because his Vital Energy, both in quantity and quality, far exceeded that of other warriors. Coupled with his powerful Divine Soul and remarkable comprehension ability, he was able to maximize the effectiveness of these three foundational sword techniques.
It was precisely due to his outstanding comprehension ability that he combined these three forms of the Light Splitting Sword Technique with his previously mastered Tide Sound Sword Technique to create a unique large-scale attack Martial Technique: Sword Sweeps the Seas!
The middle three forms of the Light Splitting Sword Technique involve different combinations and applications of sword light.
The fourth form, named Sword Light Reaching the Sky, is also a large-scale attack Martial Technique like Sword Sweeps the Seas. It can instantly unleash thousands of short sword lights. Since this technique requires fine-tuning of sword light, only a strong Soul Thought can bring it to its peak. Previously, during the Beast Tide in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, Ye Feng had used this move to effortlessly eliminate a large number of beasts.
In addition to practicing Fellow Beauty, Ye Feng had also mastered a Supreme Dao Technique known as Innate Spirit Summoning Technique. His current Soul Thought strength was nearly on par with that of a Xuanwu Realm Martial Saint.
The fifth form of the Light Splitting Sword Technique, Thousand Layer Sword, is a single-target sword technique capable of delivering multiple strikes of sword light to the same point, possessing strong armor-piercing and shield-breaking effects. Ye Feng had used it against the Black Python once, easily tearing through its armor-like scales.
The sixth form, Sword Dance Spiral, can be considered Ye Feng's strongest single-target Martial Technique at present. Dozens of sword lights spiral together and rotate rapidly upon attacking, generating unparalleled penetrating power. However, this Martial Technique requires a significant amount of mental focus and Vital Energy to control and operate the sword light, making it unsuitable for frequent use.
Ye Feng decided to use this sixth form for a quick resolution; however, using this technique had consumed more than half of his Wind Elemental Force. He knew that if he wanted to unleash it again with the same power, it would be impossible.
After killing the Black Python, Ye Feng did not immediately head towards the cave ahead to collect the Supreme Spirit Herb but instead began reflecting on the battle he had just fought.
For every warrior, each battle is an invaluable experience; only by absorbing and digesting these experiences can they truly improve.
"Although the middle three forms of the Light Splitting Sword Technique are quite powerful, my previous execution was not perfect. While this technique belongs to an attribute-less Martial Technique that can be practiced with any type of Vital Energy, some sword moves require corresponding attributes of Vital Energy to unleash greater power!"
"If I had used Golden Elemental Force for Thousand Layer Sword earlier, its armor-piercing effect would have been even better; perhaps I could have directly severed the Black Python's body. Unfortunately, I used Earth Elemental Power instead—too heavy and lacking sharpness—resulting in significantly reduced power. Fortunately, for the sixth form Sword Dance Spiral, Wind Elemental Force was just right. Utilizing its lightness and ethereality allowed the sword light in this technique to spin faster than expected, greatly increasing its spiral destructive power and ultimately leading to my victory over the Black Python."
Most warriors can only cultivate one type of Vital Energy; however, Ye Feng's exceptional talent allows him to cultivate seven types of Supreme Techniques simultaneously due to his enhanced meridians and Dantian from spiritual energy. Naturally, his quantity of Vital Energy far surpasses that of ordinary warriors. Yet Ye Feng does not waste his Vital Energy recklessly; choosing appropriate attributes of Vital Energy to assist his Martial Techniques often yields astonishing results.
The battle lasted less than half a tea's time from start to finish. It could almost be called a one-hit kill. After summarizing the experience of the fight, Ye Feng shifted his attention to the python's corpse on the ground.
Most of the Black Python's body was already inside the cave, its eyes wide open, showing great unwillingness.
Ye Feng didn't mind this at all and murmured, "If you hadn't attacked me first, I might have spared your life. Dying under my sword, you can rest in peace."
Just as he was about to enter the cave, Ye Feng suddenly stopped, pondering to himself, "Perhaps it's an Ancient Beast. I wonder if Ancient Beasts have something like demon cores."
With a swing of his sword, the python's head split open between its eyes, and immediately after, a milky-white orb rolled out.
He gestured with his right hand, and the orb flew into his palm.
"Interesting, it seems different from the demon cores of ordinary beasts!" Holding the milky-white orb, Ye Feng observed it for a moment and felt the extremely pure demonic energy within, slightly surprised.
Ordinary demon cores are mostly blood-red and contain violent demonic energy filled with a large amount of bloodthirsty aura. However, the demonic energy contained in the Black Python's core appeared extremely pure and peaceful, almost indistinguishable from ordinary Heaven and Earth Origin Power.
Since ancient times, demon beasts have relied on absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and Heaven and Earth Origin Power, using their unique cultivation talents to transform it into demonic energy stored within their cores.
Demon beasts are often ferocious killers, which leads to the demonic energy stored in their cores being filled with extreme bloodthirsty aura. Because of this, although demonic energy is another form of Heaven and Earth Origin Power, it cannot be directly absorbed and used by martial artists.
However, the demonic energy accompanied by bloodthirsty aura in demon cores is exceptional material for refining attack-type Treasure Artifacts. Attack-type Treasure Artifacts made from the cores of top-tier demon beasts can suppress opponents to the point where they cannot move due to the bloodthirsty aura contained within.
Some evil sects specialize in cultivating similar bloodthirsty magic arts that can directly absorb demonic energy from demon cores. This is also why most disciples of such evil sects tend to be violent and ruthless.
"This ancient demon core contains extremely pure and rich demonic energy that seems to be directly absorbable. However, I should not take risks lightly; I'll wait until I understand more before proceeding!" After storing away the ancient demon core, Ye Feng turned his gaze toward the cave.
The interior of the cave was pitch black but did not hinder Ye Feng from locating the Supreme Spirit Herb growing within it.
Its Elemental Wave was so intense that even as a spiritual herb, its vegetative characteristics had covered most of the Elemental Wave; he could still clearly sense it.
Ye Feng estimated that even a low-level warrior who is not particularly strong and is not sensitive to Heaven and Earth Origin Power could sense its presence within a hundred feet.
To Ye Feng's surprise, the appearance of the Supreme Spirit Herb was quite peculiar. It resembled the corals commonly found in the depths of the ocean, taking on a branching form with blue and purple stripes crossing over it.
"Could it be Purple Heart Coral? No way, am I really that lucky?" Although Ye Feng had not formally begun studying Alchemy, he had grasped most of the knowledge related to spiritual herbs from the Pharmacopoeia in his hands.
Having an excellent memory is a fundamental skill for cultivators. Ye Feng merely glanced at it but managed to remember the appearance and characteristics of most spiritual herbs.
Purple Heart Coral is not true coral; ordinary coral is merely secretions from coral polyps and is considered lifeless, while Purple Heart Coral is a natural spiritual herb that grows on land.
The record page about Purple Heart Coral in the Pharmacopoeia contained only a few words. The description of this spiritual herb was extremely simple, and the illustration was quite crude. However, the owner of the Pharmacopoeia had made annotations below the drawing, noting that this item had been completely extinct for over a thousand years. He had only learned about the existence of Purple Heart Coral through some ancient texts and rumors, which led him to create this fictional illustration.
Ye Feng compared the illustration in the Pharmacopoeia with the Supreme Spirit Herb before him and noticed that the blue and purple stripes were almost identical to those in the drawing. He suddenly felt exhilarated as if he had received a shot of adrenaline.
"It must be Purple Heart Coral! The Pharmacopoeia records that for every thousand years of growth, Purple Heart Coral produces an additional branch resembling coral. This Purple Heart Coral has nine branches; could it be the legendary supreme Nine-Heart Coral!"
The ability of Purple Heart Coral to absorb Heaven and Earth Origin Power far exceeds that of other spiritual herbs. Because of this, Purple Heart Coral cannot easily conceal its Elemental Wave, making it easy for others to detect.
Whether humans or beasts, once they discover the existence of Purple Heart Coral, they would not let it go easily and would immediately harvest it on site. This also makes it difficult for Purple Heart Coral to reach a perfect age of nine thousand years.
Thinking about this, Ye Feng's expression became somewhat strange.
"Strange, given how precious Purple Heart Coral is, why has that Black Python yet to consume it but instead has been guarding it all this time, leaving it for me?"
Little did he know that the Black Python was an Ancient Beast known as Giant Python. Even during the Ancient Era, Giant Pythons were extremely rare because these beasts are not ordinary Ancient Beasts. Their unique talents make them prone to jealousy and attacks from other beasts.
The talent of Giant Pythons lies in their long lifespan and unique evolutionary abilities, allowing them to evolve into miraculous beings akin to sacred dragons. This talent is somewhat similar to that of native magical beasts from the Demon Realm.
The Nine-Headed Blood Python that Ye Feng met in the secret realm could also evolve into something resembling a magical dragon after reaching a certain level of cultivation.
In the Demon Realm, almost all magical beasts possess the ability to evolve. However, in the Divine Martial Continent, the fate of ordinary beasts is almost predetermined from birth, dictated by their species and the achievements they are destined to reach.
For example, an Ice Mouse can only grow to the level of a Fourth-Stage Beast, no matter how hard it trains. Among millions of Ice Mice, there may only be one that reaches a king-level status, breaking through the limitations of the Fourth Stage to achieve Fifth Stage.
However, even a king-level Ice Mouse can never surpass the power of the Fifth Stage.
An ordinary Giant Python is not particularly strong. The one encountered by Ye Feng has survived for so long that it has already reached the pinnacle of its strength.
Yet, for the Giant Python to evolve and break through its own limitations, it requires an extremely rare opportunity.
The Purple Heart Coral is undoubtedly the opportunity that the Giant Python has been waiting for thousands of years. However, it can only assist in its evolution into a Divine Power Dragon once it reaches a perfect age of nine thousand years and becomes Nine-Heart Coral.
When the Giant Python discovered the Purple Heart Coral, it was still just a Two-Heart Coral, far from meeting its needs.
After thousands of years of guarding, success was finally achieved. When the Purple Heart Coral successfully grew its ninth branch, the Giant Python was overjoyed and prepared to consume it to break through its long-desired evolution bottleneck.
Little did it know that at that moment, something unusual occurred outside the cave.
