Young Noble Be Monster Slaying

Ranked twenty-first in the Catalog of the Mortal World's Ten Thousand Treasures, the codex Omniscience was the world's most powerful legendary artifact for divination.

Rumor had it that, considering its abilities, Omniscience should rank at least in the top twenty of the Catalog of the Mortal World's Ten Thousand Treasures. However, the Celestial Pivot Pavilion feared too many people would seek it out for divination, so they deliberately ranked it lower. Despite that, it still held the twenty-first rank.

A lot of paperwork was required to apply for permission to use Omniscience. Zhou Yijian was the head of the Wind-Catching Hall, but it wasn't easy for him to get permission to use it.

Fortunately, contacting his teacher, Elder Huang, solved that problem. Elder Huang's status was so high in the Celestial Pivot Pavilion that he could even allow outsiders to use Omniscience, so there was no issue with his disciple using it once.

Zhou Yijian divined Chu Liang's whereabouts once more, this time using Omniscience. He finally had a clear vision of a scene. The Heaven-Devouring Python swallowed a towering water prison whole, and at the edge of that water prison was Chu Liang.

At last, the culprit of Chu Liang's disappearance had been found. It was the Heaven-Devouring Python again!

Back when Xu Bashan disappeared, the Whale Gang paid a huge fee for the Celestial Pivot Pavilion to agree to their request to use Omniscience. The result of the divination was was the same scene that Zhou Yijian just saw. Nevertheless, even after finding out that Xu Bashan's ship had been swallowed by the Heaven-Devouring Python, they still couldn't locate his whereabouts.

Cold sweat streamed down Zhou Yijian's face.

Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that Chu Liang had disappeared in the same way.

Di Nufeng watched Zhou Yijian with a cold gaze, not saying a word. Zhou Yijian thought that Di Nufeng was even more terrifying when she was silent than when she shouted that she wanted to fight and kill.

He had always known that when Di Nufeng barked a lot, she wouldn't bite. It was when she was silent that she would be absolutely ferocious...

In the end, Elder Huang urgently returned to the Celestial Pivot Pavilion, had a meeting with several of the pavilion's greatest divination experts, and even alerted the pavilion master, Enlightened Wulou. After all that, they came up with a plan.

The Whale Gang had not received such great treatment when their chief went missing!

Normally, when outsiders went to the Celestial Pivot Pavilion to request their help, the pavilion would put in a totally different amount of effort. There certainly would not be a high-ranking member of the pavilion like Elder Huang running around sincerely to help the outsider.

After analyzing Chu Liang's situation, the Celestial Pivot Pavilion's conclusion was that it was impossible to divine the Heaven-Devouring Python's location, as someone had obscured the secrets of heaven related to it. Nonetheless, the Heaven-Devouring Python's ginormous size meant it could only roam the Four Seas.

As long as it moved, there would definitely be a trail of its movements, which might have a regular pattern. A being of the Heaven-Devouring Python's size would cause the earth to quake and mountains to shake wherever it passed; it was impossible for it to move stealthily.

So, the group of divination experts made separate divinations of the Four Seas, extracting any possible routes the Heaven-Devouring Python might take. Then they used Omniscience to divine which path it would take next. In the end, they divined that there was a sixty percent chance that the Heaven-Devouring Python would pass by this island in the East Sea today.

After that, Di Nufeng dragged Zhou Yijian over there to wait for the Heaven-Devouring Python. Nonetheless, even after waiting for many hours, the creature still had not appeared.

"This..." Zhou Yijian uttered, mulling over what to say. Then he said hesitantly, "We put in our best efforts, but we could only divine a 60% chance of the Heaven-Devouring Python taking this path. So, it is possible... that the python may not pass through here."

Di Nufeng let out a cold laugh. "Hah."

That nearly made Zhou Yijian burst into tears.

Right then, Di Nufeng's knitted eyebrows suddenly relaxed, and she stood up swiftly, looking into the distance!

The breeze was still, and the waves were quiet. However, Di Nufeng had sensed something!

Zhou Yijian's expression shifted from sorrow to joy at last. "It's here! It's finally here!"

He sounded like he was crying with joy.

"Many thanks to your sect," Di Nufeng said suddenly. "Regardless of whether I can save my disciple, I'll remember the help you've given me."

"We did indeed put in a lot of effort—"

Zhou Yijian wanted to say something, but Di Nufeng cut him off.

"Your debt for smearing me—let's call it even with this. We'll owe each other nothing from now on."

Zhou Yijian was stunned again. Oh, so you counted this request for help as a favor from me?

At the next moment, Di Nufeng leaped into the air, and a pair of blazing wings unfurled from her back! She instantly took on the form of a fiery Divine Phoenix soaring into the sky!

Di Nufeng looked particularly dazzling as a fiery Divine Phoenix!

Boom!

It was a well-known fact that Di Nufeng wasn't skilled in water combat.

So, when she plunged into the sea, she used her raging Samadhi True Fire to immediately evaporate the seawater within a hundred zhang of her, creating a void wherever she passed by! Be it fish, shrimp, or shellfish, everything in the sea around Di Nufeng disappeared!

A moment later, Zhou Yijian could even smell a foul fishy scent rising from the sea.

Di Nufeng advanced at full speed through the sea. After the brief time it took to take a breath, she saw an enormous shadow ahead.

The Heaven-Devouring Python was truly enormous. It was simply impossible for a being large enough to swallow a city whole to hide!

Nevertheless, when this ginormous creature—possibly the largest creature in the world—sensed the formidable aura charging toward it at full speed, its first reaction was…

Run!

The approaching figure was so small yet so terrifying! That aura made the Heaven-Devouring Python tremble with fear!

Rumble.

Massive waves suddenly surged in the East Sea as a great force rose from the seabed. The turbulent waves of a tsunami smashed against the shore.

Normally, the Heaven-Devouring Python wouldn't dare make any movements that would cause a tsunami because it was afraid of being discovered by humans. It saw its tremendous size as a huge source of distress. Whatever the Heaven-Devouring Python ate—be it an island or a small state—would always end up causing humans to hunt it down.

Fortunately, the Heaven-Devouring Python had encountered its current master, who obscured the flow of its qi. That had allowed the Heaven-Devouring Python to eat freely.

However, its eating habits had still led it into ruin in the end. Now, it cared for nothing but to escape!

In no time, Di Nufeng had already reached the tail of the Heaven-Devouring Python!

Sizzle—

When the Samadhi True Fire evaporated the seawater, it came into contact with the giant tail of the Heaven-Devouring Python, shooting a wave of searing pain up its body.

Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!

Frightened, the Heaven-Devouring Python shot into the air!

That's right. It could fly!

However, it was a world-shocking event whenever the Heaven-Devouring Python took to the skies, all thanks to its tremendous size. That was why it had always remained hidden underwater in the sea. Nevertheless, the Heaven-Devouring Python was now in a critical moment of life and death; this was no time to be caring about such things.

In an instant, something that looked like massive black clouds ascended from the East Sea, blocking out the daylight! It rose from the east and moved to the west! The droplets of seawater that fell from the Heaven-Devouring Python's body turned into a spurt of torrential rain.

Following closely behind the Heaven-Devouring Python was a ball of fire with the vague shape of a phoenix. Its radiance shone through the vast black clouds like the sun rising at dawn.

On the ground, countless people looked up at the black clouds. They had no idea what was happening.

The Heaven-Devouring Python was rather lacking in intelligence. There was a great contrast between its tremendous size and its small brain.

In this intensely dire moment of impending death, the Heaven-Devouring Python did not care at all that its presence had been exposed. It just wanted to find its master!

Help! Save this python!

Meanwhile, Di Nufeng was flying behind the Heaven-Devouring Python. The wings of her Divine Phoenix form, which were made of Samadhi True Fire, showed no signs of burning out. It seemed like they would stay ablaze forever, illuminating the sky with their divine radiance!

As Di Nufeng drew near to the Heaven-Devouring Python, she reached out, wanting to grab it. However, the Samadhi True Fire was not meant for grabbing things. So, instead of using her fiery wings, Di Nufeng extended a claw and sliced off the tip of the Heaven-Devouring Python's tail! The fastest blade in the world was not the sharpest but the one that burned the hottest!

The Heaven-Devouring Python let out a rare scream of terror. "HIIIIISSSSS!!!"

It was truly terrified!

Someone save me! Save me! Save me!

Di Nufeng said, "Run. Go ahead and run. I want to see if you can escape from my grasp!"

Her horrifying laughter echoed through the sky, making the Heaven-Devouring Python even more afraid.

"Kekekekekeke…"
