They had never seen such a shameless person...
The corners of Tang San's and Hu Liena's mouths twitched as the same thought surfaced in their minds.
Although unhappy, they had to admit that Fang Xuan's strength was far above theirs. He was indeed at the top of the Douluo Continent.
In Slaughter City, where spirit skills were sealed, Fang Xuan killed the Titled Beowulf with a single punch. Beowulf was equivalent to a 100,000-year-old spirit beast. His true strength would be unimaginable when this guy obtained the Deathgod Domain, unlocked the shackles, and walked out.
After dealing with the Dark Gold Three-headed Bat King, the three continued to walk along the stone bridge under Fang Xuan's lead, deeper into Hell's Road.
Fang Xuan was in a good mood as he pretended to be happy in front of the main character. However, when he saw the huge amount of experience points in his attributes, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, instantly ruining his mood.
[LV91 (1,100,000,000/100,000,000)]
The experience points needed to level up were too high—a total of 1.1 billion!
Killing a Titled Douluo only gave him 100 million experience points. If he wanted to reach level 100, even killing all the Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent would not be enough!
There was only one way to become a god—slaying a god!
Fang Xuan's eyes deepened as a bold idea brewed in his mind.
There were three obstacles in Hell's Road. The first was the Dark Gold Three-headed Bat King. With Fang Xuan's current strength, Hell's Road posed no difficulty for him. He crushed everything along the way.
Soon, the group had covered more than half of the road and was about to reach the end of the stone bridge.
"Rustle… rustle…"
At this moment, a rustling sound came from the front. It was hair-raising.
Everyone stopped and saw a huge, fiery red snake fly out of the cave. The snake's body was over a dozen meters long, and its fiery red scales were wreathed in flames. Behind its huge head and long back were nine large sarcomas. From afar, it looked like ten burning snake heads. It was terrifying!
"That is…"
Looking at this terrifying giant snake, Tang San turned pale with fright. He said, "A primordial mutant, the Ten-Headed Scorching Sun Snake!"
"Ten-Headed Scorching Sun Snake? What is that?!"
Hu Liena was slightly taken aback. She had studied spirit beasts in Spirit Hall and knew the names of many powerful spirit beasts. However, this was the first time she had heard of a Ten-Headed Sun Snake.
However, judging from the monstrous, ferocious aura this giant fiery red snake released, this fellow was not to be trifled with!
Tang San had seen this Ten-Headed Sun Snake in the ancient books of the Tang Sect in his previous life. It was a scarce Desolate Age variant. It was said to have gone extinct long ago. He didn't expect one to be hidden in Hell Road.
"Ten-Headed Sun Snake, an ancient beast. It is strong and venomous. It has the most potent fire venom of all snakes. It can be as strong as a Titled Douluo when it reaches adulthood!"
Tang San's expression was solemn as he carefully introduced the basic information of the Ten-Headed Sun Snake to Fang Xuan and Hu Liena.
The Ten-Headed Sun Snake in front of them was extremely large. Its body was more than thirteen meters long, meaning it had reached adulthood long ago. It was as strong as a human Titled Douluo and more than ten times stronger than the fifty-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Three-headed Bat King!
Tang San's brows were tightly knitted together. He looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He said seriously, "This Ten-Headed Sun Snake is too powerful and venomous. We can only defeat it with our wits, not brute force. Otherwise, the three of us will be in unprecedented danger. I have a plan…"
Just as he talked about his meticulously designed plan, a figure flashed across the sky like a lightning bolt. A fist shot out like a cannonball and landed heavily on the heads of the Ten-Headed Sun Snake.
With a loud bang, all ten heads exploded. The snake's body, over a dozen meters long, was instantly pulverized and turned into a cloud of blood mist that dissipated in the air.
"Ah? What did you say?"
After killing the Ten-Headed Sun Snake, Fang Xuan calmly picked up his ears and turned to look at the gradually petrified Tang San.
"Nothing… at… all…"
Tang San's face darkened. His chest heaved up and down violently. He looked at Fang Xuan, smiling innocently at him, and was so angry that he ground his teeth. It turned out that this guy came to slap his face on purpose!
"Eh?"
At this moment, Tang San's eyes lit up. He discovered a fist-sized, fiery-red core flickering with resplendent light—like a small sun burning fiercely. Boundless energy seeped out, attracting the attention of the three.
This was the core of the Ten-Headed Sun Snake's hundred-thousand-year-old cultivation. Only a primeval variant could produce such a rare core. It was extremely precious and rarely seen in the human world.
"This core is venomous. Give! Me! Come!"
Tang San's eyes were bloodshot as he stared fixedly at the fiery-red core in mid-air and was the first to rush out. His large hand quickly reached for the core of the Ten-Headed Sun Snake.
However, at that moment, a large foot descended from the sky and ruthlessly stomped on Tang San's back, pushing him down. Simultaneously, a hand grabbed the core!
"Bam!"
Tang San crashed heavily onto the stone bridge, nearly breaking every bone in his body. He grimaced in pain and glared fiercely at Fang Xuan in mid-air.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Fang Xuan screamed.
"Smashed?"
Tang San was puzzled. He didn't know what this guy was up to.
Fang Xuan scratched his head and landed steadily on the stone bridge. He opened his right hand to reveal a pile of fiery-red shards before Tang San and Hu Liena.
"I used too much strength and accidentally… crushed it."
Tang San and Hu Liena: "..."
"Fang Xuan, what the hell are you snatching for? A precious core of a hundred-thousand-year ancient beast, crushed by you just like that? What a waste!" Tang San was driven mad. Seeing the shattered core, his heart ached as if it were bleeding.
Hu Liena sighed. She also felt it was a pity.
However, at that moment, the meticulous Hu Liena noticed something. In the pile of shards, there seemed to be a crystal-shaped object flickering with a faint light.
"What… is this?"
Hu Liena blinked and used her fingers to pick up the red crystal, holding it in mid-air. The three of them observed it together.
It was a dark red diamond-shaped crystal about the size of a thumb. Its surface was enveloped in a faint halo and looked very strange.
"What is this? Why would it appear in the core of the Ten-Headed Sun Snake?" Tang San was puzzled.
"I'm not sure. It's my first time seeing this. Spirit bone? Spirit core? Or some treasure?" Fang Xuan was curious as he carefully observed the diamond-shaped crystal.
The three of them studied it for a while, but to no avail. This was the first time anyone knew what this diamond-shaped crystal was. With Hell's Road constantly being corroded by evil energy, it was not advisable to stay long.
So, Fang Xuan placed the diamond-shaped crystal into his spirit tool, planning to study it when he had time. Afterward, he led Tang San and Hu Liena toward the last part of Hell's Road.
At the same time, Red Rain trembled in the spirit tool space, releasing a bright red light. The diamond-shaped crystal also emitted light. The two seemed attracted to each other.
Finally, the diamond-shaped crystal flew toward Red Rain, instantly sinking into the diamond-shaped groove in the center of the skeletal blade. The two fused perfectly as if they were originally one…
