Seeing this, Su Mu instantly jumped away.

The next second, a silver snake shot out from the cave entrance, coiling up, raising its head, and flicking its tongue at Su Mu.

This was a cobra, about two meters long, its head flat, raising its head to nearly Su Mu's waist, its silver scales glinting with a cold light.

Especially its eyes, like two pieces of amber, with strands of immortal light continuously breeding within its pupils.

With just a glance, Su Mu could feel that this snake was a Treasure Snake and terrifyingly strong!

Suddenly, an overwhelming spiritual power burst from Su Mu's palm, wrapping toward the silver cobra.

Just as the spiritual power was about to engulf the cobra, it seemed unruffled, not even attempting to dodge. The moment Su Mu's spiritual power fell upon it, it instantly turned into mere dust, leaving the cobra unscathed.

Seeing this, Su Mu's pupils contracted sharply; wasn't he supposed to be a boss in the Ascension Realm?

Even if this strike didn't seriously injure it, it shouldn't have had no effect at all, should it?

The key point was that it didn't even bother to dodge?!

This was too insulting.

Seeing his attack ineffective, Su Mu planned to get close. With a wave of his hand, a silver dagger appeared in his palm. In an instant, he turned into a blurred stream of light, rushing toward the cobra.

Seeing this, the cobra finally moved. Just as the dagger was about to strike, the cobra dodged at a bizarre angle.

Though it dodged, its gaze finally changed, showing a hint of fear, watching Su Mu's silver dagger warily.

Instinctively, it prepared to flee into the river, moving at extreme speed, but how could Su Mu give it the chance? He pursued instantly, and just as it was about to dive into the water, Su Mu stabbed its back with the dagger, though unfortunately, it didn't hit the head.

However, his right hand still tightly grasped the snake's tail.

In an instant, a large gash was torn on the cobra's back, golden blood continuously seeping out.

Enduring extreme pain, it voluntarily severed its tail, escaping into the water instantly.

Seeing this, Su Mu reached the shore, deploying his divine techniques to instantly halt the thousand-square-meter water area before him, yet he couldn't find its trace.

In just a few seconds, this snake had already left this water area?!

So fast!

Su Mu stepped on the water surface, seeking the cobra's aura, but found it had long vanished.

Damn it!

It got away, and Su Mu felt he missed a grand opportunity. This cobra was probably the strongest, and possibly the rarest Treasure Snake he had encountered so far.

The crucial point was, it was wounded, its tail severed, yet it still managed to escape so quickly!

In frustration, Su Mu summoned Little Mahi and Kong Yao.

At this time, Su Mu held the small piece of snake tail, presenting it to the two creatures, saying: "Remember this scent, find it and bring it back to me."

Because Little Mahi and Kong Yao were Treasure Fish, they were more agile in the water and more likely to find the injured cobra.

After sniffing the scent, the two creatures exchanged glances, seeming somewhat fearful?

"Don't be afraid, it's already severely injured, its fighting strength barely intact. If you find it and can't defeat it, use your spiritual sense, and I'll come to your aid."

Hearing the master's words, the two creatures' eyes also filled with determination.

Preparing to dive in search.

"Wait."

Su Mu halted the two creatures, saying: "That beast is strong, though heavily injured, still not to be underestimated. Let me enhance you first."

With that, Su Mu directly used a thousand Favor Points to feed the two creatures respectively.

After gaining a thousand Favor Points, Little Mahi's body grew several times larger, its aura stronger by several folds, the horn on its forehead turning purplish-gold, its scales becoming dark gold.

Kong Yao's body also grew several times larger, its tail extending by a meter, its skin surface glowing with flickers of white light, resembling leaping thunderfire, its aura also surging by several folds.

....

With the master's empowerment, the two creatures' confidence soared, patting their chests, promising to complete the task and capture the little cobra!

"Off you go."

Su Mu waved, and Little Mahi and Kong Yao dived into the water together.

...

At this moment, Su Mu gazed at the severed tail in his palm, surprised to discover the cobra's blood was golden and contained vast energy within.

Moreover, the few drops of golden blood that had dripped onto the shore had turned into thumb-sized, smooth golden beads.

He picked up these golden beads, a total of five.

Placing them in his palm, he infused spiritual power into them, feeling a very familiar aura.

This was the power of law; these golden beads, transformed from blood, contained scattered law fragments!

At this moment, he suddenly recalled something.

He turned and walked into the hut, retrieving a lump of iron.

This lump of iron was once given to him as a toll by a man named Li Qiye, whom he'd robbed. Initially, he thought it 's scrap metal and tossed it into the stone house.

Now he realized the aura contained within these golden beads was very similar to the aura within this lump of iron.

However, the aura within the lump of iron was of a higher grade.

Initially, he had no exposure to the power of law, so when he studied the lump of iron for half a day without any result, he just left it in the corner as scrap.

Now that he sensed the same aura, he suddenly remembered this incident.

...

Su Mu first stored away the small piece of snake tail, planning to study how to consume it later.

He placed the lump of iron and the five golden blood beads together.

With previous experience, he knew he couldn't consume them recklessly now.

He activated his cultivation technique, beginning to comprehend the power of law contained within them.

Like this, unconsciously, Su Mu entered a profound state of epiphany.

Since Su Mu had comprehended plenty of space law and law of light, with a foundation in law, the comprehension came easily to him.

Sitting for a day and night, in Su Mu's dantian, a complete fragment finally solidified successfully.

He didn't know what law fragment this was, but the moment it appeared in his dantian, Su Mu's dantian began to mutate, in a few breaths, the space expanded tens of thousands of times!

At this moment, Su Mu's dantian could no longer be called a dantian space; it should be called a small world within the dantian!

And that law fragment, integrating into his dantian world, made the dantian world more complete, more solid!

Su Mu's aura was constantly surging, his cultivation level immediately rising to the Ninth Layer of the Ascension Realm!

Moreover, the most crucial point was, he had only absorbed one of the five blood beads!

The other four and that lump of iron were yet to be absorbed, if all were comprehended and absorbed, his strength would surely leap and soar!

At this time, there was a commotion on the river surface.

Seeing this, Su Mu's eyes lit up; could it be that Little Mahi and Kong Yao had captured the cobra? So quickly!

Arriving at the riverbank, he didn't see their shadows.

Instead, he saw ripples spreading across the river surface.

Looking up, he spotted two figures walking on the river surface, step by step, unhurriedly approaching...
