Jiang Feng yanked off the hair that had caught fire and said, "I don't believe it, I can't possibly die from the heat."

Buzz!

Jiang Feng channeled his True Qi, forming a protective membrane around his body, and stepped forward.

He was now in the Aperture Opening realm, with abundant True Qi, easily able to generate a strong shield to protect himself from the heat waves.

With the protection of the True Qi layer, Jiang Feng smoothly reached the edge of the magma pool and began to look around, searching for a special flame.

Because spiritual flames differ from ordinary fire, there are subtle color changes. If you observe carefully, you can spot a clue.

Bao Dalong followed Jiang Feng's example and also looked around, asking, "What are you looking for?"

"I'm seeing if there are any fish here, planning to catch a few to roast." Jiang Feng replied.

"Fish? There could be fish in here? Who are you fooling?" Bao Dalong said.

"Of course, I'm fooling you." Jiang Feng sneered.

Bao Dalong was momentarily stunned, then realized Jiang Feng was teasing him.

"You, Jiang Feng, do you believe I'll push you down?" Bao Dalong said angrily.

"Hehe, just kidding, don't get mad." Jiang Feng laughed.

"Hmph." Bao Dalong ignored him and walked to the other side.

Gurgle!

Bubbles rose from the magma.

Jiang Feng saw a head suddenly emerge from the magma, followed by a massive body leaping out, lunging at Bao Dalong.

"Bao Dalong, watch out!" Jiang Feng shouted in alarm.

Bao Dalong turned his head to see a python thicker than a barrel.

But the python was covered in flames, with fire flickering like thousands of fiery tongues.

A single horn protruded from its massive head, with flames blazing even more fiercely from it, shooting skyward.

Even the python's eyes could spew fire, and when it opened its mouth, a ball of fire rolled out, its tongue like a fiery whip ready to lash the heavens and earth.

Jiang Feng dashed over, pushing Bao Dalong aside and using his own body as a shield.

Bang!

Jiang Feng was knocked flying by the python, flames splattering all over him. If it weren't for the True Qi layer, he would have been roasted on the spot.

"Damn, are you crazy? That's a Fire-Refined Rock Python, and you dared to block it. Are you tired of living?" Yao Yaoling shouted.

"What is it, a Fire-Refined Rock Python? You know this thing?" Jiang Feng scrambled to his feet and asked.

"Yeah, I've seen it once. It was three thousand meters underground. We Earth Spirits were mining a batch of metal ore and accidentally dug into a fire vein, where a Fire-Refined Rock Python was hiding," Yao Yaoling said.

"These creatures are rare, usually not appearing in the world, only staying in the most intense flames."

"The reason such monsters exist is that some pythons, by chance, adapted to high temperatures and eventually lived in flames or magma, absorbing the fire essence, and over time grew into these fierce Fire-Refined Rock Pythons."

Jiang Feng asked, "Can this thing become a dragon?"

"In theory, it should be possible, but it would take thousands or even tens of thousands of years," Yao Yaoling replied.

"If it can become a dragon, that's good. It means it's valuable," Jiang Feng's eyes lit up. In the Immortal Realm, he had encountered many spiritual beasts and often hunted rare ones to collect precious parts for alchemy and artifact refining.

So encountering such a creature, Jiang Feng wouldn't hesitate. He would need rare materials for experiments in the future, and this Fire-Refined Rock Python could fully support his needs.

"What do you mean?" Yao Yaoling asked.

"Never mind that, just tell me the weaknesses of the Fire-Refined Rock Python. I want to kill it," Jiang Feng said.

"Are you crazy? With our current strength, it's hard to deal with it. Stop thinking about it and run for your life," Yao Yaoling advised.

"Aren't there three of us? Can't we handle one big snake? Tell me," Jiang Feng insisted.

Seeing his determination, Yao Yaoling had no choice but to say, "Alright, look at the spot seven inches below the Fire-Refined Rock Python's neck. If you attack there, you can defeat it, maybe even kill it."

Jiang Feng looked up and indeed saw a spot below the python's neck without flames, about the size of a palm, with clear, tender skin. It seemed Yao Yaoling hadn't lied to him.

Bao Dalong was scared out of his wits. If Jiang Feng hadn't saved him, he would have been in grave danger.

"Jiang Feng, thank you so much this time," Bao Dalong expressed his gratitude.

"No problem. If you really want to thank me, then help me attack the Fire-Refined Rock Python. Let's take it down together," Jiang Feng said.

"Alright, this beast almost took my life, I can't let it go," Bao Dalong said, positioning his palms for an attack.

Roar!

The Fire-Refined Rock Python seemed to feel neglected, its dignity challenged.

It had been out for so long, standing there with its head raised, but these humans ignored it, even talking about killing it.

How infuriating, they underestimated it, no, underestimated the python.

So it roared to assert its might.

It wanted to crush these detestable humans, to show them the dire consequences of underestimating it.

A stream of magma spewed from the Fire-Refined Rock Python's mouth, carrying a scorching wave, rushing down.

"Start the action," Jiang Feng shouted.

Ignoring the incoming magma, Jiang Feng charged forward, his Shui Mang Sword flickering, casting sword shadows.

Bao Dalong's palms struck repeatedly, forming an Eight Trigrams pattern, blasting towards the python's head.

Bang bang bang!

The sword shadows and palm prints all hit the python, dispersing a patch of flames, revealing the injured flesh beneath.

"Hmph, is that all? Just a lot of noise," Jiang Feng scoffed.

"Again!"

Jiang Feng wanted to showcase his current strength. After all, he was in the Aperture Opening realm now, a bit of self-indulgence was understandable.

"First Sword of the Thirteen Divine Gate Swords!"

"Nine Divine Elephant Punches!"

"Qilin Divine Fist!"

"……"

Jiang Feng unleashed everything he had learned, his momentum far surpassing the Foundation Establishment realm.

This round of attacks left the Fire-Refined Rock Python staggering.

"Watch me."

Bao Dalong seized the opportunity, launching another fierce assault while the python was still recovering, alternating between Eight Trigrams Palm and Xingyi Fist.

With such attacks, even a deity would struggle to withstand, let alone the Fire-Refined Rock Python.

Soon, the python was dazed, trying to dive back into the magma to escape.

Jiang Feng wouldn't let it get away.

"Hey, little snake, meet your end." Jiang Feng thrust his sword at the weak spot under the python's neck.

The Fire-Refined Rock Python sensed danger and, in a desperate move, lashed its tail at Jiang Feng as his sword approached.

Jiang Feng dodged in mid-air, narrowly avoiding the strike, but the python's tongue wrapped around him, its strength making it impossible to break free.

Jiang Feng felt like he was entangled in countless threads, unable to move, as a foul stench approached, the python's mouth ready to swallow him whole.

"Bao Dalong, help me!" Jiang Feng shouted.

"Buddy, you're on your own, I can't do anything," Bao Dalong hesitated.

Jiang Feng was already subdued, and going up would be suicidal. Known for his cowardice, Bao Dalong prioritized his own survival in life-and-death situations.

"Damn, this is enough. I'm telling you, if I die, you won't escape either," Jiang Feng warned.

At this moment, Yao Yaoling also rushed over, shouting, "I told you not to show off, and now look what happened."

Jiang Feng was anxious, "You're not going to save me either?"

"Who said I'm not saving you? I still need to find a wife," Yao Yaoling replied, then threw a black stone, summoning a giant stone figure that punched the python's head.

The python was stunned, loosening its grip, and Jiang Feng fell, dangerously close to the magma below, which was even worse than being eaten by the python.

Jiang Feng wanted to survive, but had no chance, helplessly flailing his legs.

Bang!

Just as Jiang Feng was about to despair, a large rock hit him, knocking him to the other side of the magma pool.

Jiang Feng rolled on the ground, landing hard, the impact was real and painful to watch.

Barely getting up, Jiang Feng saw it was Bao Dalong who had thrown the rock at the last moment, saving his life.

"Brother, if you're going to save me, can you be gentle? Why use a rock?" Jiang Feng said, speechless.

"No choice, it was the only way. What else could I use?" Bao Dalong replied helplessly.

Indeed, there was no better option. There was nothing but rocks here, so using a rock was the only solution. Saving a life was already fortunate.

"Anyway, you're still worth saving. Thanks for rescuing me," Jiang Feng said.

"Hehe, we're partners, right?" Bao Dalong laughed.

"Hey, what are you two doing? This isn't the time, come help," Yao Yaoling called out, still battling the python.

"You hold on, we're having a moment of brotherly love," Jiang Feng shouted.

"Yeah, let us have a tender moment," Bao Dalong chimed in.

"Ugh, disgusting, so you two are a couple," Yao Yaoling retorted.

"Get lost, I'm coming," Jiang Feng couldn't stand being teased like that, so he went to help.

Finally, with the combined efforts of the three, the Fire-Refined Rock Python was exhausted, unable to fight or flee, trapped in a dilemma.

"Jiang Feng, now's the time, seize the opportunity," Yao Yaoling signaled to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng understood Yao Yaoling's meaning, knowing the chance had come.

The python was about to raise its head to attack, fully exposing its weak spot under the neck.

Jiang Feng squinted, leaped up, his Shui Mang Sword like a rainbow, emitting a brilliant light, swiftly stabbing, elusive and indistinct.

Pfft!

The sword struck precisely at the soft flesh under the python's neck, penetrating three inches, blood flowing, instantly evaporated by the surrounding flames.

Roar...

The python roared in pain, its voice weak, losing its previous ferocity, with a hint of sorrow.

But the python didn't die immediately, struggling desperately, resisting for a while before finally collapsing.

Bang!

The python's massive body fell, splashing magma like a fiery rain.

The ground was smashed into a huge pit, dirt flying, rocks turning to mud.

The Fire-Refined Rock Python was finally dead, this seemingly invincible creature couldn't withstand the relentless assault from the three.

Even Yao Yaoling found it hard to believe, but Jiang Feng's Aperture Opening realm strength was truly impressive, playing a crucial role.
