"Ning Yu!" Mu Xue's heart-wrenching screams came from afar, but Ning Yu could no longer hear them. His vision was completely dark; he could see and hear nothing, only the shadow of death loomed over him.
At this critical moment, Ning Yu suddenly felt a faint surge of power within his body. This power was very weak, like a candle flame flickering in the wind, which could be extinguished at any moment. But this power was also very familiar; it had helped Ning Yu defeat countless powerful enemies and was Ning Yu's last hope for survival.
"Could it be..." Ning Yu's lips curled slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. A foul stench assaulted his nostrils, and the giant python's gaping maw exuded a suffocating pressure, poised to devour him. In that life-or-death moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from Ning Yu's body, within which ancient and mysterious runes faintly appeared, as if from a mysterious power from antiquity.
The giant python was forced back by the sudden light, its massive head raised high, letting out a deafening roar. Its golden vertical pupils stared intently at Ning Yu, its eyes filled with apprehension and doubt, as if it had seen something unbelievable.
Ning Yu was lifted up by this sudden force, slowly floating in mid-air. His wounds healed at a visible speed, and his previously depleted strength gradually returned. He looked down at his glowing hands, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion. This power… could it be…?
"Roar—" The giant python roared again, its massive body coiling up and pressing down on Ning Yu like a small mountain. Its huge tail swept across, stirring up a gust of wind that swept up the rubble and dead branches on the ground, forming a terrifying tornado.
Ning Yu had no time to think. He mobilized the faint power within his body, guiding it to his arms. The golden light grew stronger, enveloping both him and the giant python. Ning Yu felt his body brimming with power, as if he could control everything in the world.

A deafening explosion echoed through the sky, shaking the entire earth. Smoke and dust billowed, obscuring the sun and making it impossible to see anything.
Mu Xue anxiously called out Ning Yu's name, but received no response. She struggled to clear the smoke and dust in front of her, trying to see what was happening inside, but she couldn't see anything.
"Ning Yu! How are you? Answer me!" Mu Xue's voice was filled with worry and fear.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the scene inside was revealed.
Ning Yu stood unharmed before the giant python, though his face was somewhat pale. The once-arrogant python lay motionless on the ground, a horrifying bloody hole appearing on its massive head, from which blood gushed, staining the surrounding earth red.
Ning Yu looked at the giant python lying on the ground and let out a long sigh of relief. He turned around and gave Mu Xue a reassuring smile: "I'm alright..."
However, before he could finish speaking, his smile froze on his face. He felt the faint power within him begin to stir restlessly, like a wild horse breaking free of its reins, becoming increasingly difficult to control…
“This power…” Ning Yu frowned, a hint of unease flashing in his eyes, “It seems…”
