Clang! Sparks flew from the snake's body.
Jiang Chen was stunned. He hadn't expected the Ten-headed Fierce Yang Serpent's defense to be this strong.
He suddenly remembered that the Ten-headed Fierce Yang Serpent's cultivation was nearly all in its inner core.
Since the inner core was still inside the snake's body, his strike naturally couldn't break through the scales.
Although the scales were tough, there was still a way.
Jiang Chen hooked his fingers and directly inserted them into the gaps between the scales.
With rapid movements of his fingers, several scales were pried open.
The fresh red snake flesh was exposed. Jiang Chen's fingernail sliced across, severing the blood vessels, and blood spurted out.
He didn't put his mouth close to suck, because that spot was quite far from his head.
But the spurting snake blood seemed to be drawn by some force, flying straight toward Jiang Chen's mouth.
This was the ability of his zombie domain.
Within this domain, the Ten-headed Fierce Yang Serpent's strength had already been suppressed by ten percent, and its blood had long been boiling.
Now that there was an opening, the blood all over its body immediately burst out.
Jiang Chen opened his mouth and sucked. The blood poured in like a fountain, continuously entering his mouth.
The Ten-headed Fierce Yang Serpent was terrified. The nine red tumors on its back suddenly became brilliantly bright.
The nine tumors, each the size of a human head, wriggled nonstop.
Pop, pop, pop...
The nine tumors suddenly burst at the same time. Nine streams of red liquid shot out, converging in midair into one mass. After fusing, it contracted.
As the liquid shrank, a fist-sized dark red ball appeared and smashed toward Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen's pupils contracted. This bead gave him a sense of danger even greater than being wrapped by the giant snake.
This was the Ten-headed Fierce Yang Serpent's inner core, containing almost all of its cultivation.
Its strike could not be underestimated.
This bead could injure him... That was Jiang Chen's first reaction.
The inner core's attack, guided by the serpent, had already locked onto him. There was no way to dodge.
It seemed the only choice was to take it head-on.
But if he took it head-on, he would inevitably get injured. Even the slightest wound would greatly diminish his cool image.
"No, there's another way!" A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. His left hand was still gripping the giant snake's mouth, while his right hand reached directly into the bleeding wound.
He was going for a decisive, all-or-nothing move!
Before the inner core hit him, he would make this big snake die first!
It would come down to whose move was faster.
Without the protection of scales, the tender flesh could no longer block Jiang Chen's attack. His sharp and powerful hand pierced straight in.
The Eye of Heavenly Punishment had already activated. He clearly captured the location of the massive heart.
Without hesitation, his large hand grasped the heart and crushed it fiercely!
The giant snake let out a miserable hiss. The force with which it had been coiling around Jiang Chen's body began to loosen.
Jiang Chen kept a firm grip on its head and continued digging inside the wound. With one pull, he extracted a purple, fist-sized snake gallbladder.
The snake's gallbladder emitted a faint purple glow, like a gemstone.
After storing the snake gallbladder in his soul tool, Jiang Chen looked toward the inner core smashing toward him.
At this moment, the inner core seemed to have lost its power and simply fell toward him.
The heart was where the snake's vital essence was concentrated. With the heart destroyed, it was already on the verge of death and could no longer control the inner core to attack.
The inner core might be greatly diminished. When it drew near, Jiang Chen reached out and grabbed it directly.
It was a golden-red small ball, about the size of a chicken egg, brimming with deadly poison.
Holding it in his hand, Jiang Chen felt it was warm.
The prehistoric beast's blood was still gushing, carrying its vital life essence, all pouring into Jiang Chen's body.
To Jiang Chen, this taste was incomparably wonderful.
The giant snake no longer struggled. It had no strength left. In its red pupils, there was only fear and despair.
As a prehistoric beast with ten thousand years of cultivation, it never imagined it would die here.
As long as it killed Jiang Chen and Hu Liena, it could gain freedom and return to its original world.
But all of that had shattered like a dream, like foam.
With massive loss of blood and flesh essence, the giant snake visibly shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, until only a snake skin remained.
Recalling how tough those scales were, Jiang Chen did not discard the snake skin.
Originally, a serpent more than ten meters long would take up a lot of space in the soul tool, but after being reduced to just skin, it folded into a small bundle.
Jiang Chen's gaze turned forward. There, a pair of dark golden pupils was staring right at him.
When its owner saw Jiang Chen looking over, it seemed startled and flapped its wings, quickly flying away.
It was a massive, dark golden bat with three heads. Its wings spread fully ten meters wide.
Yet after seeing Jiang Chen kill the Ten-headed Fierce Yang Serpent, it was afraid.
Jiang Chen did not pursue it. He had no appetite for bats.
After wiping the blood from his lips, he quickly took out clothes and put them on, then returned to Hu Liena's side.
"Little Chen, are you alright?" Hu Liena asked anxiously.
The sight of Jiang Chen being wrapped by the giant snake just now had thoroughly frightened her.
If she hadn't seen the giant snake fall into a disadvantage later, she probably would have already rushed over madly.
"I'm fine." Jiang Chen smiled, then tilted his head forty-five degrees toward the sky and said loudly, "Senior, how was my performance?"
He wore a smile, appearing neither humble nor arrogant. A powerful, invincible confidence radiated from his tall figure.
The Asura God gave no response, but Hu Liena beside Jiang Chen was already somewhat entranced...
Jiang Chen felt nervous inside and shamelessly asked again, "Senior, may I obtain your inheritance?"
In the divine realm, the Asura God was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Jiang Chen to know this was his inheritance ground.
"Since he has absorbed my divine blood, he can be considered one of mine. This kid can even absorb divine blood; he's extraordinary." The Asura God pondered.
Immediately after, a majestic and domineering voice rang in Jiang Chen's mind: "To be observed."
The Asura God did not agree directly. He still needed to observe Jiang Chen's future performance and consider from all aspects whether Jiang Chen was truly suitable for his inheritance.
There was a chance... Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.
He hadn't expected the Asura God to agree outright, but those four words clearly meant he had an opportunity.
"Senior, rest assured. I will definitely perform well." Jiang Chen respectfully bowed toward the sky.
The Asura God did not respond again.
"Little Chen, you..." Hu Liena stretched out her fair, jade-like hand and touched Jiang Chen's forehead.
"No fever." She muttered.
"Senior Sister, don't worry about it. There's still one last trial. Let's go quickly—we'll soon leave this damn place."
"Mm." Hu Liena handed the rope to Jiang Chen. After he tied it around his waist, the two once again maintained a three-meter distance as they advanced.
Although flying would be faster, Jiang Chen didn't dare try it.
This was not a place to seek thrills. If he left a bad impression on the Asura God, it would be more loss than gain.
The temperature continued to rise steadily. The blood pool flowing below drew ever closer.
The path seemed to slope downward, though the distance was so great it was hard to notice.
As they moved forward, under the scorching heat, sweat broke out on both of them again.
Hu Liena's light, cool clothes were now soaked with sweat and clung tightly to her body...
On her, an irritable mood gradually emerged.
With the irritability, the surging killing intent within her grew stronger and showed signs of losing control.
