Chapter Ten: The Great Swallowing Python

  "This is, this is Orange Essence? The heavenly material and treasure that reaches Orange Essence?"

  Ye Lin looked at what was in front of him, and his heart surged with emotions. To think that back then, Xing Tian had given him a strand of Thousand Year Black Lotus, and at that time, he was still only at the level of Red Essence, although he was already at the peak of Red Essence, but after all, he was still at the level of Red Essence.

  However, the Chi Yang fruit in front of him now, which was pointed out by his senior as something he could take, had already broken through the limits of red spirit energy and reached the level of orange spirit energy. Although the color still looked very pale, between red and orange, it was a complete qualitative breakthrough.

  It can be said that the value of a spiritual object, once it breaks through this point, will undergo a complete transformation. To put it another way, no matter how many red spiritual objects there are, they cannot compare to an orange-level spiritual object.

  Still now, he himself had encountered such an orange-colored, divine object that shot into the sky. How could this not make Ye Lin's heart greatly astonished?

  "What's going on?!"

  Ye Lin knew that this Red Sun Fruit had already broken through the limit of the Red Essence Grain, which meant that its value was already determined. If it were a precious heavenly material or earthly treasure, then the guardian spirit beast would not be something that he could handle, even if the powerful Xing Tian followed him, they would probably have no chance of fighting back.

  "My father once said that he had encountered a heavenly treasure, and its guardian spirit beast was actually the Thunderbolt Dragon."

  When he was very young, Ye Lin liked to listen to his father tell him about the adventures of his youth. Among them were some legends about Tiancai Dibao and the Guardian Spirit Beasts. The most thrilling one was a kind of Tiancai Dibao called Wanshen Guo, whose guardian spirit beast was actually the legendary Thunder Dragon, which was even stronger than the Martial Spirits. That time, his father almost died under the claws of the Thunder Dragon. It was also that time when his father met his mother and was saved by her.

  Although Ye Lin didn't know what kind of powerful heavenly material the Wanxian fruit was, or what level it had reached, he did know that after that one time, his father's strength would suddenly and rapidly advance. In just a short three years, by the time his father returned to Yunshui City, he had already become the undisputed number one person in Yunshui City.

  "This, this Red Sun Fruit, probably isn't bad either!"

  Thinking of his father's legend, because of a heavenly material and earthly treasure, his strength rose from a third-grade martial artist to become the number one person in Yunshui City in just three short years, Ye Lin's eyes shone brightly.

  At that time, the four major families of Yunshui City's inner courtyard had all broken through life and death, and had become top-notch masters who had ascended to the dragon. My father could have become the number one person in Yunshui City, and his strength can be imagined.

  "I must get it."

  Every time he thought of his father's legend, Ye Lin would always look forward to the day when he would encounter a powerful treasure that would allow him to rapidly increase his strength. This way, he could inherit his father's will and protect the Ye family. Most importantly, once his strength truly became great, he would have enough power to search for his father who had been missing for six years, as well as his mother whom he had never seen before.

  "Not bad, I must get it."

  Thinking that he could go find his father and mother, Ye Lin's eyes gleamed even more brightly, and he had even forgotten about the old man's test which might have many parts, because in his heart, a strong desire was already supporting him: I must get it.

  Originally, according to the previous plan, Ye Lin was supposed to go to other places to find some spiritual medicines above the thousand-year level, and see what level the guardian spirit beasts of these spiritual medicines had reached, so that he could distinguish how strong the guardian spirit beast of Chi Yang fruit actually was.

  But now, nothing is needed anymore, because the orange essence in front of him has already explained everything. The guardian spirit beast is not something that he can handle at present. Even if the old armless man's test for himself was one of those kinds, Ye Lin could be very sure that it would only be one thing: the ability to adapt to changing circumstances, because what he needs to face now is fundamentally not something that this little guy can handle.

  "Whatever, no matter what its guardian beast is, I must get this Red Sun Fruit."

  As he spoke, Ye Lin took a step forward, at this time, he didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. Once discovered by the monster, it would be extremely difficult for him to survive.

  Roar!!

  A thousand-meter-long python raised its head and hissed, its three-meter-thick body twisting back and forth in the clouds.

  "Swallowing Heaven Great Snake, give me some quiet, otherwise, I will kill you."

  The old man with the severed arm stood in mid-air, hearing the deafening roar of the giant python. With a loud shout, his voice echoed for hundreds of miles, and even the layers of heaven were shattered by the powerful force carried by his thunderous cry.

  It turned out that the one-armed old man wanted Ye Lin to go to Lian Yao Mountain Forest to test him, but his purpose was different from what Ye Lin thought. He knew that with Ye Lin's current strength, he would not be able to withstand the giant python in front of him and would be swallowed as soon as he approached. After all, the one-armed old man did not know that Ye Lin had a pair of extraordinary eyes that could see through everything in the world. Therefore, what Ye Lin thought was a test of his adaptability on the spot was actually not applicable.

  However, the Broken Arm Old Man was indeed going to test Ye Lin again. He had already taken a step ahead of time and brought out the Swallowing Heaven Python. As a result, what Ye Lin needed to face was only the child of the Swallowing Heaven Python, the Little Swallowing Heaven Python.

  Not bad, the true purpose of the Broken Arm Old Man is to use the newly born Swallowing Heaven Python to test Ye Lin, and even make Ye Lin compete with the young Swallowing Heaven Python when the Red Sun Fruit ripens, defeat the newborn young Swallowing Heaven Python, and obtain the Red Sun Fruit.

  Ah!!!

  The giant python didn't care about the one-armed old man's threat at all. A pair of copper bell-sized snake eyes flashed red light, and its thick tail brought up pieces of residual shadows, striking towards the one-armed old man. It wanted to defeat this old guy as soon as possible and hurry back to guard the almost ripe Red Sun Fruit for its own children.

  Not bad, the Chi Yang fruit is indeed what Tian Yan Da Mang has prepared for his own child to take. Tian Yan Da Mang is a descendant of ancient divine demons, with innate abilities that surpass the ordinary. Within the same realm, there are few who can match him. However, Tian Yan Da Mang has one fatal weakness - an extremely long juvenile phase.

  A giant python that can swallow the sky, its juvenile period is at least a hundred years, and its strength never exceeds the fifth level of body refinement.

  Refining the body to the fifth heaven, in this perilous and desolate land, even humans dare not venture out of the city alone. Refining the body to the third heaven is a great achievement, but it can only be used for menial tasks in various industries within the city. As a descendant of ancient gods and demons, their bloodline power is considered one of the strongest treasures in the world. Naturally, the hundred-year juvenile period will be a matter of life and death for Tianyan, the giant python that swallows the sky.

  They are the ones who, before giving birth to their young, personally plant a heavenly treasure for each of them. Shortly after they are born, they swallow it, using it to strengthen their children's power and help them quickly pass through their infancy.

  The Chihiro fruit is specially prepared for his three-year-old child by the giant python that swallows the sky, and it will also be ripe today.

  However, the Swallowing Heaven Python did not expect that the Red Sun Fruit had just matured and he hadn't even had time to pick it yet. This terrifying old man suddenly appeared, and without saying a word, he struck out with his hand, sending the Swallowing Heaven Python flying into mid-air.

  How can the giant python not be angry in its heart, let alone the fact that the Red Sun fruit has already ripened. If I leave now and someone discovers it, won't all my hard work of a hundred years go to waste? Most importantly, my child is still underground, what if they encounter an enemy, what if something happens to them, wouldn't I regret it for the rest of my life?

  It was as if the giant python, even knowing that the old man in front of him with only one arm had terrifying strength, still wanted to go all out, disregarding everything and going all out, even risking its life.

  "Hmm!"

  Originally, the Swallowing Heaven Python was rarely seen, and the old man with a broken arm didn't want to make a move. However, now the Swallowing Heaven Python dared to take the initiative, which made him extremely angry. With a cold hum, he swung his lone arm, and instantly, a gust of wind flashed by, blowing the Swallowing Heaven Python into three consecutive flips, rolling out more than 10,000 meters away.

  "Ahh!!"

  The giant python let out a loud hiss, its voice echoing through the air as it thrashed about, sending clouds and mist swirling around it. With one flick of its massive tail, it sent its body tumbling downwards, but in reality, the giant python was trying to take advantage of the opportunity to escape from the old man with the severed arm and return to the ground.

  "Hum, dare to escape, you're looking for death!"

  At this, the one-armed old man was furious in his heart. With a single swing of his arm, his sleeve puffed out and suddenly a strong gust of wind arose, causing the heavens to spin and the earth to rotate. In an instant, the giant python that was thousands of meters away was sucked into the old man's sleeve.

  The world in the sleeve!!

  If someone were here, they would definitely be shocked by the divine skill displayed by this one-armed old man, which is actually a legendary technique that only occasionally appears in myths and legends, Sleeve Universe.

  It is said that, with a sleeve containing the universe, the universe is contained within one's sleeves. Once it is unfolded, it becomes thousands of troops and horses, all of which can be stored in one sleeve. Even more so, for those who have achieved great things, the universe itself is contained within this one sleeve. This is truly a secret technique unique to legendary immortals.

  It's really hard to imagine that the old man with a broken arm would have such a magical skill, and his identity and background seem even more mysterious.

  He took another look at Ye Lin, who was advancing step by step below, and a hint of thought appeared on the old man's withered face: "Tian Gezi, what you entrusted me to do has been done. As for how it will turn out, that depends on its own destiny."

  As he spoke, the one-armed old man's body flashed and disappeared.

  Of course, Ye Lin was unaware that in the high altitude of ten thousand miles above his head, a shocking great war had just broken out. At this moment, he was still advancing step by step towards the place where the orange essence burst forth.

  "I must get it, I must get it."
