An invisible force, like a flood bursting its banks, surged forth from Ning Yu's body. He felt as if his body was about to be torn apart by this force, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, concentrating all his will on one point—to completely annihilate the giant python before him.

The giant python seemed to sense Ning Yu's resolve. Its entire body tensed, preparing to meet his attack. Its scales gleamed with a metallic sheen, its massive body coiled like a small mountain, its gaping maw revealing sharp fangs. Its eyes were filled with rage and killing intent, as if to say, "Even if you fight with all your might, you cannot defeat me!"

"Ning Yu, no!" Mu Xue's voice rang out from afar, but she knew that her voice could not stop the battle. She could only watch helplessly as Ning Yu pushed himself to his limit, as that mysterious power gathered in his hand.

Ning Yu ignored Mu Xue's cries; his eyes were fixed on the giant python before him. He felt this power constantly draining his strength and spirit, but he couldn't back down, for he knew this was his last chance, his only hope.

He took a deep breath, channeling all his strength into his hands. His hands began to tremble, and his skin started to crack, but he didn't give up. He felt his consciousness fading, but he kept his eyes fixed on the giant python before him, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

The giant python seemed to sense the powerful aura emanating from Ning Yu. It shifted its body uneasily and let out low growls. It was ready for battle, prepared to face Ning Yu's final blow.

Time seemed to stand still, the air thick with tension. Ning Yu, a human fighting with all his might, and the giant python, an ancient beast, were about to clash, their battle about to determine the fate of these ruins…

"Roar!" The giant python let out a deafening roar, breaking the silence. It opened its blood-red maw, and a black energy condensed within it, as if it wanted to devour everything.

Ning Yu's eyes sharpened upon seeing this. He knew the moment of the decisive battle had arrived.

"Let me show you the true power of this force!" Ning Yu roared, pushing the power in his hand to its limit. A dazzling light erupted from his hand...

A dazzling light, like a supernova explosion, instantly illuminated the entire ruins. Powerful energy fluctuations, like an invisible shockwave, swept towards the giant python with overwhelming force. The python's massive body was momentarily stunned by this attack.

The giant python clearly hadn't expected Ning Yu's attack to be so fierce; a hint of shock finally appeared in its cold, vertical pupils. But quickly, that shock was replaced by an even stronger ferocity.

"roar!"

The giant python let out a deafening roar, opened its blood-red maw, and a stream of black energy, like an inky waterfall, gushed out from its mouth to meet the dazzling light.

Two completely different energies met in mid-air, creating a deafening explosion. The violent energy turbulence, like a raging storm, tore everything around it to shreds. Those rubble and trees that couldn't escape in time were instantly reduced to dust by the impact of this energy.

Those team members who were closer were thrown about by the energy fluctuations, and some of the weaker members even coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.

"team leader!"

Mu Xue shouted anxiously, but she was powerless to help. She could only watch helplessly as Ning Yu and the giant python engaged in a life-or-death struggle in this ocean of energy.

The two forces were locked in a stalemate in mid-air, neither able to gain the upper hand. The powerful energy fluctuations distorted the surrounding space. Time seemed to stand still at that moment, with only the blinding light and deafening roar constantly reminding everyone that the battle was not yet over.

“Ning Yu…” Mu Xue clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh, but she was completely unaware of it. Her gaze never left Ning Yu's figure, and her heart pounded violently with every breath he took.

Suddenly, Ning Yu groaned, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth. He felt his body was about to give out; his strength was fading away bit by bit. The giant python was also beginning to struggle; its body trembled slightly, and the flow of black energy began to become unstable…

"It's not over yet..." Ning Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes resolute. He murmured, "I still have..." Ning Yu felt as if his body was about to split apart, every bone groaning under the unbearable strain. His vision blurred, and his once abundant power receded rapidly like a receding tide. The giant python's condition was also dire; its massive body trembled violently, and the black energy flow began to become intermittent, flickering like a candle in the wind.

Just then, a warm current suddenly surged from the depths of Ning Yu's heart, quickly flowing throughout his body. This power was so strong, yet so unfamiliar, carrying a trace of irresistible will.

“This is…” Ning Yu suddenly opened his eyes, a look of disbelief flashing in them.

With the support of this mysterious power, the light, which was on the verge of dissipating, surged again, subtly suppressing the giant python's black energy flow! Sensing this powerful force, the giant python let out a defiant roar, its massive body twisting wildly, trying to break free from the force's restraint. It struggled desperately, smashing the surrounding rocks and trees to pieces with its enormous body.
