I can bless thousands of magical powers.

How dare he?!
Witnessing Zhang Yuan leap into the river bend and disappear into the whirlpool, even Wu Mingrui, with his deep cunning, was dumbfounded.

Wu Ziyu, standing to the side, was even more miserable, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

The father and son looked at each other, completely at a loss for what to do.
They simply didn't understand Zhang Yuan's thinking—there's no way to seek death like this, is there?

But when the two tried to do something, they found they couldn't do anything!
We can't exactly jump into the river with Zhang Yuan, can we?
Wu Mingrui couldn't help but give a bitter laugh, feeling utterly absurd.

Wu Ziyu snapped out of his daze and muttered to himself, his eyes glazed over, "Is Zhang... Zhang Daojiang alright?"

Whether Zhang Yuan had something to do or not, only he himself knew.

The instant he fell into the water, Zhang Yuan simultaneously activated three major parasites: the giant black ant, the golden grasshopper, and the white dragon loach.

Thirty times the strength, thirty times the agility, plus the mystical power of water all enhance him.

Not only that, he also reached out and grabbed the Overlord Halberd, channeling all of his Primordial Chaos True Qi into this high-level Xuan weapon!

At this moment, Zhang Yuan had already firmly locked onto his target in the water.

In fact, he couldn't have done this before the main body of the Divine Nest advanced to level seven.

The advancement to the Divine Nest not only granted Zhang Yuan enhanced perception but also gave rise to an ability similar to a natural talent.

Zhang Yuan called it—divine consciousness.

Divine consciousness is an evolved state of perception. It not only endowed Zhang Yuan with the ability to perceive the things around him in great detail, but also allowed him to lock onto a selected target with a single thought.

As long as the target remains within the range of divine sense, no matter where it is hidden or what it is covered by, it cannot escape Zhang Yuan's lock.

It was precisely through his divine sense that Zhang Yuan was able to grasp some basic information about his opponent.

This monstrous creature that has plagued the Angry River for decades is a giant python over fifteen zhang long. Its body is thicker than a water vat and covered with thick black scales—a truly colossal beast.

Zhang Yuan had dealt with similar entities before.

However, this giant python has grown horns on its head, and there are signs of claws growing from its front and back bellies. It is clear that it is not far from transforming into a dragon, and its strength is equivalent to the peak of the sixth level of a martial artist.

Once you turn into a dragon, you will enter the divine realm!

If it really comes to that, Zhang Yuan would never go into the water to fight it one-on-one.

Even with the added advantage of water-related mystical abilities!

Of course, this giant python should not be underestimated, after all, the Raging River is its home ground.

The moment Zhang Yuan entered the water, the black python also noticed his presence.

The strange creature, which seemed to possess a certain spirituality, was momentarily stunned.

Although it has eaten people, it has never seen anyone willingly jump into its mouth.

But compared to the cattle, sheep and horses offered by the Wu family, this giant python prefers the taste of humans—especially martial artists who have achieved mastery of their skills!
Its intuition told it this was a delicious meal.

The black python didn't care about Zhang Yuan's background and immediately opened its blood-red maw.

The whirlpool on the river bend reappeared, and a powerful suction force instantly enveloped Zhang Yuan, pulling him down into the python's mouth!
In the depths of the water, the monster's fighting power is multiplied several times over.

This is the fundamental reason why the Wu family has been unable to deal with it!

However, this time, the black python met its nemesis.

Zhang Yuan was jolted, and his strength suddenly increased by thirty times. In an instant, he broke free from the pull and restraint of the surrounding water and regained his freedom of movement.

However, instead of taking the opportunity to break out, he used the water's momentum to thrust the Overlord Halberd into the python's gaping maw. Even underwater, this high-level Xuan weapon, enhanced by the Primordial True Qi, still emitted a dazzling and brilliant flame.

The scorching heat instantly evaporated the surrounding river water, creating countless bubbles that surged and rose!
The giant python in the river never dreamed that what it thought was its prey would become its hunter in the blink of an eye.

When it realized the danger, it instinctively tried to close its mouth, but it was too late.

puff!

The halberd pierced straight into the python's mouth, its fiery light penetrating deeply into the giant monster's tender throat, causing dark red blood to gush out suddenly.

The giant python, in pain, suddenly darted backward, managing to escape the Overlord's Halberd that had pierced its mouth.

Its reaction was extremely fast, and its strength was very powerful, causing Zhang Yuan's further attacks to miss.

Zhang Yuan certainly wouldn't give up so easily. He used the "Free and Easy Wandering" movement technique in the water, and his whole body caught up with the retreating python like a ghost. The Overlord Halberd in his hand drew a long arc of light.

Strike straight for the python's left eye!
With the enhancement of his water-related abilities, his halberd completely ignored the resistance of water, and even used the water flow to complete his attack, displaying a breathtakingly violent beauty.

Unfortunately, the python had no sense of appreciation; it was furious beyond measure.

Seeing Zhang Yuan relentlessly pursuing it and launching another attack, the strange creature in the river did not flinch but continued to retreat.

It is extremely large, but it is exceptionally agile in the water, and its speed is in no way inferior to Zhang Yuan's.

This is clearly an innate and supernatural ability!

As it retreated, the python's throat contracted and writhed violently, generating bursts of invisible sound waves.

It spread rapidly to the surrounding waters!
The next moment, thousands upon thousands of bream swarmed in from all directions, rushing towards Zhang Yuan one after another.

These breams were only about a foot long and didn't look threatening at all.

But they swim extremely fast, and each of them opens its mouth full of sharp teeth, its eyes bloodshot as if possessed.

Coupled with their enormous numbers, the sheer scale of the event created an incredibly intimidating presence!
In fact, these bream are all small monsters controlled by the giant python. Each of them is corrupted by the evil energy and has some characteristics of monsters. Once they go crazy, they are fearless and do not care about death.

The giant python usually travels up and down the Nutao River with its minions.

While enjoying the offerings from the Wu family, it would also share some of the leftovers with these little strange fish.

Now is the time for the latter to come into play!

Faced with thousands upon thousands of strange fish, Zhang Yuan activated his water control technique without hesitation.

The bream that surged in from all directions seemed to be stuck in a quagmire in an instant, and their movements became extremely slow.

Then the water bodies they depended on for survival suddenly turned into terrifying "instruments of torture".

puff!puff!puff!
One by one, the bream burst open under the pressure of the surrounding water, their shattered bones, flesh, and scales mixed with blood, falling to the bottom of the water in a spectacular display.

[Source Material +12], [Source Material +9], [Source Material +5]...

Although the amount of source material provided by a single monstrous fish is negligible.

But if you add up ten, a hundred, or even a thousand, that would be quite a lot!

Zhang Yuan had no time to check the Divine Nest panel; his divine sense remained firmly locked onto the giant python.

This is the real enemy! (End of Chapter)
