James scanned his surroundings. Every plant in the region had long shriveled to death, caused by the adverse effects of Demonic Energy.
James asked puzzledly, “How weird… Why is there Demonic Energy here?”
Delainey chimed in, “I can sense terrifying power in this region. Let’s turn back and search elsewhere. It’s not worth risking our lives for this.”
Henry nodded in agreement, saying, “We should search somewhere else. Mount Walvern is huge, after all. We don’t necessarily have to search this place.”
James nodded. “Alright then, let’s turn back.”
The three decided against heading further. Instead, they changed course and searched elsewhere.
After leaving the place, they flew full speed ahead in search of powerful monsters.
Soon, they entered a marshland.
Black bubbles rose, and some black fumes flew out from the marshland where many beasts crawled, including some venomous snakes of different sizes. Some were as big as a thumb, while others were several meters long.
Boom!
As they approached, the sound of an explosion could be heard.
James and the others turned their heads and saw someone engaged in a fierce battle against a monster. The monster was a white python hundreds of meters long and covered in white scales. Flying in mid-air, it caused a raging wind that swept through the marshland below, sending debris flying. Meanwhile, it was surrounded by three people who were attacking it relentlessly.
“That’s Quintina!”
Seeing this, James stopped.
Henry said, “The python is at least at the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair.”
Delainey nodded and said, “Although Yunus is also at the Eighth Stair, a monster at an equivalent rank is usually much stronger than a cultivator. It would be difficult for them to annihilate the python.”
At that moment, James noticed a group of people spectating the battle in the distance.
On the battlefield, Yunus held a purple sword in his hand and slashed it. The sword emitted a purple Sword Light, and wave after wave of Sword Light materialized, attacking the white python. However, the python had incredible defensive capabilities. As such, even Yunus, who was at the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair, could not deal any effective damage to it.
The python roared and swung its tail violently with great power.
Yunus dodged the attack in time. However, favonovel.com was knocked back by the powerful force of the python’s tail and nearly lost his balance, his body tilting sideways.
Seizing the window of opportunity, Quintina launched favonovel.com attack. Appearing a hundred meters in the air, mysterious symbols materialized in favonovel.com palm, descending from the sky and crashing toward the python. Struck by the powerful force, the python plummeted from the sky and crashed into the marshland, causing black mud to splash all over the area.
Seeing this, Yunus seized the opportunity and went on the offensive once more. His sword emitted a blinding Sword Light, and wave after wave of Sword Energy descended from the sky and struck the white python.
Another disciple of the Welkin Academy launched his most powerful move. Terrifying True Essence gathered in his palm to form a ball-like shape before crashing toward the python. However, this only dealt damage to the python. It was utterly insufficient to annihilate it.
“Curse you, humans!”
