Just then.
The white python wreathed in flames suddenly twisted its body.
A layer of ice appeared, instantly freezing the flames that were scorching its body.
"How is that possible!"
Ye Tian was shocked.
At that moment, the python flung its head with all its might!
Ye Tian had exhausted his spiritual energy and could barely even stand, so without any warning, he was hurled away!
Sssss!
The python seized its chance, and reeking purple venom sprayed from its fangs!
"Ye Tian!"
The crowd below cried out in alarm.
They could only watch as Ye Tian was engulfed by the venom.
Just then, a figure with metallic black feathered wings appeared, swooping in like the wind, and snatched Ye Tian away the very instant the venom was about to strike him!
"You crazy kid, fighting a peak Level 6 demonic beast at the Spirit Gathering stage, how dare you!"
An Yi said calmly, holding Ye Tian by the ankle.
Ye Tian wore a helpless expression.
He truly hadn't expected the white python to be this strong.
The Fire Extinction Array he'd used earlier was already the most powerful move he could unleash now, yet it barely did any damage to the python.
"Holy crap, thank goodness Instructor An Yi showed up!"
Yan Kui let out a huge sigh of relief.
Just moments ago, Ye Tian had engaged the white python to save them.
If anything had happened to him, Yan Kui would have been haunted by guilt for the rest of his life.
"Such incredible speed!"
Zhang Qi looked at An Yi with amazement.
He had been paying attention to An Yi just before, but he never expected that from such a distance, An Yi could arrive in the blink of an eye.
This speed was simply unbelievable.
Qiansui hesitated, saying, "This is a Level 6 demonic beast, Instructor An Yi…"
Xu Qianqian, sucking on a lollipop, said cheerfully, "Don't worry, he's An Yi. He's really strong."
Among the special class, only she knew An Yi's true background.
Back then, Ye Tian and An Yi had been together.
And now that Ye Tian had shown up—
Who else could that "An Xiang" be but An Yi!
Seeing its target snatched away, the white python flew into a rage and sprayed a gust of white icy mist toward An Yi.
"He's all yours," An Yi said, then swung Ye Tian by the ankle toward Zhang Qi and the others' position.
Ye Tian plummeted headfirst, and as he watched the ground rushing up toward him, he nearly scared his soul out of his body.
Below, Houzi, wreathed in wind spiritual energy, leaped up and caught Ye Tian, both of them tumbling to the ground together.
Meanwhile, up in the sky.
After dropping Ye Tian, An Yi shifted his form and instantly appeared above the python's head.
With a flick of his hand, his black ring transformed into an ink-dark longsword, its chilling blade light gleaming.
Feeling the overwhelming pressure from An Yi, a hint of fear flickered deep in the python's triangular eyes.
Right now, it was in the stage of breaking through to Level 7, and its spiritual energy was nowhere near stable.
Its aura fluctuated between strong and weak, greatly hampering its combat ability.
A violent hiss tore through the air.
The python coiled its massive body and lunged to bite at An Yi.
Towering next to its enormous bulk, An Yi seemed almost minuscule.
Like an ant, he could be crushed to a pulp at any moment.
Yet, this tiny human was exactly what filled the python with unprecedented dread.
"A body this huge really isn't easy to deal with," An Yi said, his eyes cold as he assumed the drawing stance with the Dragon-Toothed Demon Sword.
Third Form of the Nine Dragon-Slaying Swords: Wind Chaos!
The black blade swept down!
In an instant, a storm of sword shadows erupted, enveloping the python's massive frame!
Watching the sky full of sword silhouettes, the special class members below were utterly stunned.
They all came from major families, so they could clearly tell how extraordinary An Yi's strength was.
This scene—even the academy head might not be capable of such a feat.
The python was engulfed by the fierce sword shadows, scales flying, crisscrossing wounds appearing, blood pouring freely!
Another ear-splitting shriek!
The python raised its head high.
Furious ice spiritual energy swept toward An Yi like a raging gale.
An Yi's expression stayed composed as he stepped with Flame Steps.
The black longsword in his hand began to crackle with blue arcs of lightning.
In that moment, his figure turned into a streak of light, piercing through the icy mist and thrusting his sword forward!
Fourth Form: Thunderclap!
Sssss!
A long, narrow wound carved across the python's body!
The python collapsed.
Blood spilled across the ground, and its potent venom began to corrode the surrounding vegetation.
An Yi hovered in the air with a relaxed gaze, looking down at the python.
As long as it hadn't broken through to Level 7, he could handle peak Level 6 demonic beasts with ease.
Of course, if it had reached Level 7, he could still activate Berserk and hold his own.
After all, he now possessed late-stage Heavenly Dipper strength.
The trainees below stared up at the youth with black wings spread across the sky, utterly shaken.
A Level 6 demonic beast, completely at his mercy.
Could any ordinary Heavenly Dipper spiritual master really pull that off?
Even the academy head probably couldn't match his power.
When had someone this powerful ever appeared at Eastern Xuan Academy?
In an instant, a name that had recently risen to fame flashed through the minds of the special class members.
"Ins—Instructor An Yi is really strong, r-right?"
Houzi stammered out.
Qiansui nodded, stunned. "So powerful!"
The number one expert of the Eastern Ling Empire was probably nothing more than this.
Zhang Qi exchanged glances with several other trainees, and from their expressions, it was clear—
Everyone had guessed An Yi's true identity!
The only one who could have this level of strength was no one else.
Guard Mercenary Corps campsite.
"No way, who the hell is that guy in the sky?"
A mercenary stared in astonishment at the scene above, clicking his tongue in wonder.
A peak Level 6 demonic beast, on the verge of breaking through to Level 7, had been taken care of in just a few moves!
The bald mercenary said in a low voice, "If I'm not wrong, it should be An Yi!"
"The Demon King An Yi!"
At the sound of that name, the other mercenaries all changed color.
Recently, who hadn't heard of the Demon King An Yi's reputation?
"Right, besides him, there's no one else in the whole Lingchuan Region who could do this! So, Boss Tian, should we…"
The wiry mercenary was already having second thoughts.
The Great Demon King An Yi!
He was said to be a ruthless character who had escaped from the Heaven-Reaching Tower. Who the hell wouldn't be scared?!
"Hmph, those are all just rumors. Fifteen thousand gold coins for his head—don't any of you want that?"
Tian Mao's eyes glimmered with a vicious light.
The others, seduced by the allure of gold, felt greed slowly override their fear.
...
"Ssss!"
The collapsed white python, surrounded by a faint glow, looked at An Yi with pleading eyes.
An Yi folded his wings and pulled out his black-gold heavy sword.
With a beast this large, a normal attack wouldn't be enough to finish it off.
A deep blue light shimmered along the blade.
An Yi's gaze turned cold.
Wild surges of spiritual energy crackled around the sword.
Sixth Form of the Nine Dragon-Slaying Swords: Furious Billows!
"An Xiang…"
Zi Yun's elegant, graceful silhouette had somehow appeared in front of the python.
Her expression was complicated as she gazed at An Yi.
Damn it!
The instant he saw Zi Yun, An Yi, gripping the heavy sword, froze in terror and hurriedly pulled back his strike.
"Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"
An Yi fumed, cursing at her.
If he had struck any sooner, he could easily have swept Zi Yun up into the blow as well.
The fully charged Furious Billows was devastating in its power.
An ordinary spiritual master caught squarely by that strike would probably end up as nothing but unidentifiable pieces.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stay on the perimeter?"
An Yi asked, sounding annoyed.
"An Xiang..."
Zi Yun hesitated, her expression complicated as she glanced at the severely wounded white python, her voice carrying a note of pleading: "It's going through bloodline reconstruction. Can you... can you spare its life?"
Bloodline reconstruction?
An Yi's expression shifted slightly as he stared in disbelief at the fallen white python.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
