Overriding the Heaven

With a muffled sound, Ye Sheng's head exploded like a watermelon filled with all sorts of emotions — fear, regret, shock, and anger.    

A pillar of blood rolled out, reaching up to the height of a full floor.    

After a moment, the headless cavity shook a few times and finally collapsed.    

"Whooosh."    

Only now did Chu Yan heave a sigh of relief.    

After being entangled and fleeing for a few days, under a situation where he was so tense that he didn't dare to relax even the slightest bit, today, he finally made use of this opportunity to kill a Pulse Condensation Period Cultivator.    

Although in the end, Chu Yan had only killed a Pulse Condensation Period Cultivator who was at the end of his strength, in this period of time, courage, concealment, patience, and decisiveness were all indispensable.    

When Ye Sheng was fighting the Nether King Python, Chu Yan was also highly focused.    

Now that he had relaxed, the fatigue that he had accumulated for several days suddenly surged up like a surging tide.    

With a gurgling sound, muffled sounds like thunder came from Chu Yan's stomach.    

Previously, when he was being chased by Ye Sheng, Chu Yan didn't sleep at all.    

His heartstrings relaxed at this moment, but he couldn't stop the hunger.    

Swallowing his saliva, Chu Yan took out his rations first.    

When he came, he did not have much rations to eat, because according to Chu Yan's original plan, he could hunt wild beasts in the Black Cloud Forest at any time.    

While escaping, in order to confuse Ye Sheng's vision, he had used the rations on several occasions to lead the other party in the wrong direction.    

The only thing that was left was to eat it up in a few bites.    

As a result, he became even hungrier.    

What made Chu Yan even more desperate was that his stomach had actually started to circulate the Swallowing Whale Spirit Arts on its own.    

This caused his eyes to turn green from hunger. The golden stars started to appear in front of his eyes, and everything he saw started to twist and distort.    

Just at this moment, Chu Yan's gaze moved, and saw the Ming Python King that was chopped into several pieces by Ye Sheng.    

The Ming Python King was sixty to seventy meters long, and was currently cut into four pieces, falling onto the ground with a crashing sound. The flesh around the severed parts were still spasming and squirming.    

"Snake meat —" Chu Yan recalled the fragrance of the snake meat and couldn't help but gulp down a mouthful of saliva.    

Without hesitation, or to be more accurate, his body was no longer under the control of his brain. He quickly found some firewood and started a few fires. He hastily cut open a large chunk of snake meat, jabbed it into the Fierce Sun Spear and began to roast it.    

Not long after, an alluring fragrance wafted out.    

Chu Yan did not care about burning hot food at the moment, and directly grabbed it and started to eat.    

The large piece of snake meat was eaten after chewing a few times.    

Chu Yan did not have to worry about not digesting it at all. He was currently using the Whale-Swallowing Whale Spirit Hunting Art, his stomach was circulating at a rate that was tens of times faster than normal, and the snake meat that he swallowed was digested in a moment, transforming into a stream of heat that flowed into his limbs and bones, causing Chu Yan to feel that he had lost all his strength and was quickly replenished.    

Not only was it snake meat, Chu Yan did not waste it either.    

When ordinary people saw the tough snake bone, they could only sigh.    

Even martial practitioners needed to use weapons in order to split the snake bone.    

But now, in front of Chu Yan, these snake bones were like big chunks of cookie.    

He opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Crunch, crunch, crunch. He bit off a large chunk of the snake bone, crushed it in a few bites, and swallowed it.    

Chu Yan's abdomen was like a bottomless pit. No matter how much snake meat was stuffed in, it was all absorbed in the blink of an eye.    

A python that weighed more than a thousand kilograms was eaten by Chu Yan in less than four hours, leaving behind a gigantic head.    

Anyone who saw this scene would have their eyes pop out of their sockets.    

It was only then that Chu Yan let out a sigh of satisfaction, but between his brows, he still felt like he hadn't had enough.    

The fresh flesh of a Huang Beast would be of great help to Chu Yan in refining his flesh, especially with the help of the Art of the Swallowing Whale Spirit.    

After eating, Chu Yan did not rest, but sat cross-legged and meditated, circulating the blood in his body. He absorbed every bit of energy that he had just obtained into his body.    

Another four hours passed. By this time, it was already evening. The sky was dyed blood-red by the afterglow of the setting sun.    

The instant Chu Yan opened his eyes, an imposing aura unknowingly surged out from his body.    

This aura caused the dried blood on the ground to crack.    

"It feels good!" Chu Yan suddenly jumped up, feeling exceptionally satisfied with his current situation.    

"When I was being hunted by Ye Sheng, although I've been in danger many times, my mind and will have been greatly improved. Chu Yan secretly nodded.    

This time when he came to Black Cloud Forest, other than searching for Herba Phellodendri s, he also hoped to test his knowledge through actual combat.    

Originally, Chu Yan thought that after finding some wild beasts to train with, he would just barely make it.    

In the end, he had a martial artist as his opponent.    

A fighter as an opponent was much better than a wild beast as an opponent!    

Now, Chu Yan already had a clearer understanding of his own strength.    

Compared to the same cultivation level at the fifth level of Genuine Force Stage, Chu Yan was clearly a level higher, and his strength was practically equivalent to being in a battle of attrition.    

However, there was still an obvious difference when compared to cultivators of the Pulse Condensation Stage.    

Ye Sheng had mastered his Pulse Condensation Stage, so Chu Yan had no choice but to escape.    

And not to mention Ye Sheng, even Lin Kongtong, whose Pulse Condensation Stage was at the initial stage of the Lin Family, was a level lower than Ye Sheng.    

"Indeed, there is a huge gap between martial artists and cultivators. However, if I can reach Pulse Condensation Stage, then I must be stronger than those of the same cultivation level!" A flash of confidence appeared in Chu Yan's eyes.    

Although there was still some distance between him and the Pulse Condensation Stage, Chu Yan was already confident that he could make it to the Evergreen Town.    

This battle with Ye Sheng had helped him tremendously!    

Releasing his body, Chu Yan walked towards the head of the Underworld King Python.    

It was time to reap the spoils of the war.    

This Herba Phellodendri had clear veins which were suffused with a faint golden color.    

Chu Yan who was completely clueless about medicinal herbs could tell at this moment, that even if this Herba Phellodendri was not of the highest quality, it was still high quality. It was definitely more than enough to draw inscriptions.    

As for the python's head, Chu Yan was already full, but the head of the python looked like it was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, making people have no appetite to eat it. Thus, Chu Yan threw a flying kick, throwing the head of the python into the pool of water.    

The head of the Nether King Python floated in the pool for a while before sinking.    

After placing the Herba Phellodendri back into the echo loop, Chu Yan then walked towards Ye Sheng's corpse.    

Previously, when Ye Sheng was fighting with the Underworld King Python, Chu Yan had been lying in ambush underground, observing the whole time.    

He noticed that Ye Sheng hadn't thrown out any of his belongings, so they must still be in his arms at this moment.    

Reaching out his hand to touch the cold corpse, after a while, Chu Yan found a few bottles, and a small bag.    

Unfortunately, when they were entangled by the Nether King Python, most of the porcelain bottles either exploded or split open. Only two remained intact.
