The green-eyed black snake was covered in wounds. With the help of his pupil technique, Chen Zhou could clearly see many fine wounds on the snake's body. Black blood was still seeping out, dripping onto the ground. There were already many pools of blood on the ground.

On the other hand, opposite the blue-eyed black snake was a giant snake covered in yellow scales. The Great Wilderness Python had a yellow crown on its head and a pair of jet-black eyes. The yellow scales covering its body were not very large, but they were numerous and could perfectly protect the Great Wilderness Python's entire body.

The Great Wilderness Python showed no signs of molting; instead, its aura had reached its peak, making it incredibly powerful and repeatedly defeating the Green-Eyed Black Snake.

This led to the situation Chen Zhou was seeing now: the green-eyed black snake was no match for the Great Wilderness Python, its body covered in wounds, while the Great Wilderness Python had almost no wounds at all.

"True Qi Armor," Chen Zhou murmured. He saw that the yellow True Qi Armor on the Great Wilderness Python was not much broken, while the cyan True Qi Armor on the Green-Eyed Black Snake was already in pieces.

From every perspective, the Great Wilderness Python held an absolute advantage in this battle, and it showed no signs of weakness. At its peak, the Great Wilderness Python was able to completely suppress the Green-Eyed Black Snake without suffering any harm itself.

This put Chen Zhou, who wanted to reap the benefits without lifting a finger, in a difficult position.

If the Great Wilderness Python were at its peak, he would be no match for it. How could he possibly profit from it?

"Don't rush, observe quietly. There's something strange about this. That aura just now was clearly a sign that the Great Wilderness Python was about to shed its skin. Logically, this shouldn't be happening," Elder Ren reminded him.

Upon hearing what Elder Ren said, Chen Zhou immediately calmed down and decided to wait and see. At worst, he would continue to run away.

The Azure-Eyed Black Serpent was no match for the Great Wilderness Python. The Great Wilderness Python's yellow true energy armor seemed to be immune to the Azure-Eyed Black Serpent's purple true energy. No matter how the Azure-Eyed Black Serpent attacked, it could not break through the Great Wilderness Python's true energy armor.

Each attack by the Great Wilderness Python left wounds on the Green-Eyed Black Snake, and as the wounds multiplied, the Green-Eyed Black Snake's howls became less frequent.

And the sound grew softer and softer until the green-eyed black snake fell heavily into a pool of blood, unable to rise again.

The blue-eyed black snake was defeated.

Its petrification was child's play to the Great Wilderness Python, which was completely unaffected by the Green-Eyed Black Snake's attack.

This battle was a complete rout.

"Hahahaha! Everyone only knows that I am at the eighth level, but they don't know that I have already successfully shed my skin and broken through to the ninth level to achieve the Golden Core and become a human. This stupid black snake is really stupid! It even tried to scheme against me. It has a lot of courage."

Chen Zhou witnessed the Great Wilderness Python speaking human language. Then, the python's body began to shrink rapidly, and a human figure appeared before Chen Zhou.

"Transformation!" Chen Zhou exclaimed inwardly. He immediately used the Poison Tree Root to conceal his aura. The Poison Tree Root's aura concealment and the poison itself were both top-notch.

Even the Great Wilderness Python in its transformation stage didn't notice it.

The great python transformed into a beautiful young woman dressed in yellow silk. She had a rosy apple-shaped face, phoenix eyes that seemed to shimmer like autumn water beneath her brows, and long, flowing, jet-black hair. Upon closer inspection, she was an absolutely stunning beauty.

The woman slowly walked to the front of the green-eyed black snake's corpse and quietly looked at it. At this moment, the green-eyed black snake was not completely dead, but on the verge of death. It kept blinking its huge eyes as it looked at the young woman in front of it.

It miscalculated.

The giant python in front of me has actually entered the transformation stage. Just now, a simple attack of true qi had brought me to this state.

"The Azure-Eyed Dragon-Snake bloodline, though not pure, is sufficient for my current form. I really wanted to thank you properly, but it seems I won't have the chance," the Great Wilderness Python said slowly, its phoenix eyes fixed on the Azure-Eyed Black Snake.

With each step the Great Wilderness Python took, it emitted a subtle, oppressive aura that made Chen Zhou quite uncomfortable. Was this the power of a spirit beast in its transformation stage?

Chen Zhou had already met two powerful individuals who had reached the Golden Core stage: one was the Sect Master of the Sword Cloud Sect, and the other was the Great Wilderness Python before him.

Previously, the Sword Cloud Sect Master must have concealed his aura from Chen Zhou; otherwise, Chen Zhou wouldn't have been completely unaware of any pressure. He could feel an immense pressure emanating from this Great Wilderness Python. Every step she took felt like a blade slashing at him.

That sharp aura is something no one can imitate.

"This Great Wilderness Python is really well hidden; it even fooled me," Elder Ren couldn't help but say.

Indeed, this Great Wilderness Python's concealment skills are truly impressive; it lives up to its reputation as a Great Wilderness Python in the Transformation stage.

"Chen Zhou, if anything unexpected happens, run away immediately," Elder Ren said solemnly.

Chen Zhou probably doesn't have the ability to take things from a Great Wilderness Python in its transformation stage.

Chen Zhou nodded. He had concealed himself quite well and had not been discovered by the Great Wilderness Python.

The next second, the young woman transformed again, instantly turning into the Great Wilderness Python in its original form. The Great Wilderness Python opened its huge mouth and swallowed the entire green-eyed black snake whole.

Upon seeing this horrifying scene, Chen Zhou felt a wave of nausea. Was the so-called spirit beast devouring something that meant eating the other party?

Just as Chen Zhou was about to turn his head away and stop looking, the Great Wilderness Python began to chew, and pools of dark blood flowed from the corners of its mouth, eventually dripping to the ground.

After the Great Wilderness Python finished devouring the Green-Eyed Black Snake, the Great Wilderness Python's black eyes immediately turned deep purple. Looking at those deep purple eyes, Chen Zhou seemed to see the Green-Eyed Black Snake again.

"It's the most cruel form of spirit beast devouring, not only the bloodline and body, but also the soul!" Elder Ren exclaimed in surprise.

"The bloodline of the Azure-Eyed Black Serpent contains the aura of the Azure-Eyed Dragon Serpent, and its soul is probably not so easy to absorb. Look! Now is the time for the Great Wilderness Python to suffer! How can the dignity of the Azure-Eyed Dragon Serpent be so easily violated?" Elder Ren said excitedly.

Because the Great Wilderness Python's aura immediately weakened, and its previous imposing presence and pressure vanished in an instant, Chen Zhou no longer felt the pressure from before. The Great Wilderness Python actually collapsed heavily to the ground in pain.

The Great Wilderness Python's eyes constantly shifted between black and deep purple, while Chen Zhou's pupil technique made it seem as if the green-eyed black snake and the Great Wilderness Python were constantly changing before his eyes. For a time, the two spirit beasts were unable to determine the winner in their battle of souls.
