Chapter 77 First Fiery Sun Serpent
Chapter 77 Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent
Li Luochen's strongest attack struck the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, a strike comparable to the strongest attack of a Soul Saint in his true form.
How could the Bat King, with his millennia of cultivation, possibly withstand this?
*Bang!* All three heads of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King exploded simultaneously. It hadn't even had a chance to unleash its power before it collapsed.
After the three heads shattered, a piece of dark gold-red light caught Li Luochen's eye. Li Luochen used his soul power to grab it, and a piece of dark gold-red soul bone landed in his hand.
"The head soul bone of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King? What a pleasant surprise! Bats are good at sonic attacks, so this should be an intelligent skull. The soul bone skill should be of the sonic type. This is top-notch."
Li Luochen played with the soul bone for a while before storing it in his storage soul tool. Such a good thing was truly an unexpected delight.
Seeing that their leader had been shattered in a single blow, the thousands of bats scattered and fled in all directions. Li Luochen ignored them and continued flying forward.
Bibi Dong, who was observing from a distance, was also shocked by Li Luochen's powerful attack. She muttered to herself.
"When I faced this swarm of bats back then, I had to fight and run. This kid actually defeated the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King in one strike? That's terrifying. That strike was probably the strongest strike a Soul Saint could deliver."
The Clear Sky Hammer doesn't have the power to shatter it in one blow; otherwise, Tang Hao would have killed it long ago and even obtained a soul bone. Hmph, lucky kid.
Li Luochen's every move was within Bibi Dong's sight. As the Pope, she had to pay close attention to this genius who had secretly joined the Spirit Hall. If she could bring him to the Papal Palace...
"However, that strange snake won't be so easy to deal with next."
Bibi Dong continued to observe Li Luochen. At this time, Bibi Dong had not gone mad yet, and her mind was still relatively clear. She had not yet fully equipped her second martial soul, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, with its spirit rings. She could still control the evil resentment power, and her condition was still acceptable.
At this moment, Li Luochen continued forward. If he wasn't mistaken, his next opponent should be the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent. He knew this. Not long after, Li Luochen discovered a huge, coiled creature lying on the narrow path.
Those were fiery red eyes. Just ahead on the narrow path, a dark red body lay prone. Its size was unclear, but a quick glance revealed it to be a snake. A snake, its entire body coiled around the narrow path.
Its eyes weren't particularly large. The snake had nine bulges on its head and back, each resembling a bright red mushroom, as if blood were flowing inside. Its abdomen was exceptionally large, bulging in the narrow passage, and its body length was at least ten meters.
The monstrous snake made a croaking sound, like a baby crying, and the nine fleshy growths on its back began to emit a golden-red glow.
The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent is a primordial beast, incredibly venomous. Adults can exceed ten meters in length and possess the most potent fire poison among snakes. After ten thousand years of cultivation, it can form an inner core. It resides within its nine heads. When the inner core is revealed, the world loses its color. Whoever obtains its inner core will cause all other snakes to flee in terror.
It is the supreme among snakes.
In the original timeline, Ma Hongjun's seventh spirit ring was the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, and his Fire Phoenix martial spirit evolved into the Seven-Headed Fire Phoenix, which evolved into the Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix when he became a Title Douluo.
The Ten-Headed Fiery Serpent is incredibly poisonous, with its fire poison being the most potent, arguably approaching the ultimate form of fire. After all, fire poison is considered fire. As a result, Ma Hongjun's martial soul evolved into a super martial soul, and he eventually gained the qualification to become a first-level god, but unfortunately, he failed.
However, thanks to Li Luochen, Ma Hongjun in this life is very diligent. He solved his martial soul problem at the age of six and a half. He will no longer become a phoenix in the brothel. At least before Li Luochen left, his efforts were no less than those of his seniors Qin Ming and Mo Yu.
Li Luochen believed that Ma Hongjun would satisfy him when he returned, but the most urgent task was to kill the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent in front of him.
The inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent can detach from its body to attack. When it detaches, severing the connection between the inner core and the serpent's body will kill the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent. However, it is necessary to force it to use the power of its inner core. Li Luochen threw out the Coiled Dragon Staff, and the force of more than ten tons struck the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent.
The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent never expected that this human would be so uncivilized as to ambush it, an old comrade who had lived for over ten thousand years. It was always the snakes who would ambush them; no other creature had ever dared to do so. It was enraged.
Anger finally surfaced in those golden-red eyes, and the nine golden-red growths on the giant snake's back shone even brighter.
It seemed to be croaking angrily.
His body arched over on the narrow path, the nine lumps perfectly aligned with the direction Li Luochen was in.
Suddenly, the nine tumors shattered simultaneously, releasing nine streams of golden-red liquid. These liquids didn't shoot straight through the air, but rather towards the area above and in front of Li Luochen. The nine streams merged in mid-air, and just as they were about to reach Li Luochen, they paused. All the liquids simultaneously contracted, transforming into a small, golden-red sphere no bigger than a fist, before crashing down upon Li Luochen.
"We've been waiting for you to use your inner core, but using your inner core to hit someone is just like a Golden Core cultivator taking out their Golden Core to hit someone. It just feels a bit strange."
Li Luochen had already waited for his chance, but he still couldn't resist making a sarcastic remark.
"Three Battle Forms, Overturning Rivers and Stirring Seas!"
Li Luochen spun the Panlong Staff and threw it out in a rotating motion. The thrown Panlong Staff spun like a disc, and its weight and rotation caused everything around it to move like a small tornado.
Boom—
The Panlong Staff shattered the body of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, and the inner core that was about to strike Li Luochen also fell down uncontrollably.
Li Luochen released his soul power to draw the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent over. Although the inner core was highly poisonous, Li Luochen was immune to all poisons, so he was unharmed.
Li Luochen looked at the small golden-red ball in his hand, which had the patterns of ten Fiery Sun Serpents inside. After looking at it for a while, Li Luochen put the inner core into a porcelain bottle and stored it in his storage soul tool.
This inner core is extremely valuable; it can be transformed into a spirit ring, providing a significant boost to fire-attribute and snake-type spirit masters. Unfortunately, it's useless to the little snake girl Dugu Yan now that she's become the little dragon girl.
As for Ma Hongjun, given Li Luochen's future path, he will become the Ultimate Flame, so he doesn't need this. He can go to the Undying Volcano in the Star Dou Great Forest when he has time; there might be some good stuff there.
Give this inner core to Dugu Bo. After all, Dugu Bo's grandfather has helped him a great deal. This inner core might be able to help him take another step forward. His Golden Jade Phosphorous Serpent King is already the king of serpents. If he absorbs the inner core of the supreme serpent, he should be able to evolve again.
Moreover, it will be difficult for Dugu Bo to make further breakthroughs. He already has five soul bones, but he is still missing a torso bone. However, it is very difficult to find a high-quality torso bone that suits him. This inner core may be able to help Dugu Bo take another step forward.
Perhaps the energy of the inner core can help Dugu Bo increase the age of his spirit ring. After all, it's Ma Hongjun's seventh spirit ring from the original timeline, so Dugu Bo might see a significant increase.
Dugu Bo is currently at least level 95 at his peak. If he swallows this inner core, he should be able to level up by one level, and his martial soul should also evolve. Li Luochen felt that the stronger Dugu Bo was, the safer he would be.
