Butterfly Fairy's body trembled, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. The Starry Illusion Realm seemed to have lost its energy and plummeted straight down.
Volume 18, Chapter 21: The Great Immortal of Spirit Refining
------------------------
Unable to conceal its presence any longer, the Starry Illusion Realm transformed into a shooting star and hurtled towards the ground. By sheer coincidence, it crashed right into that enormous, deep crater, disappearing with a whoosh.
The multi-armed, big-eared monster unleashed energy blasts from its eight massive hands, instantly knocking Xiao Wenbing and the others down. It was completely taken aback. Having witnessed the giant snake's horrific state, it had assumed a formidable enemy had arrived, and thus attacked with all its might, without considering capturing them alive. Unexpectedly, its attack had sent them tumbling into a deep pit.
The big-eared monster's eyes flashed with a fierce light, but it didn't have the guts to go down and search.
His fierce gaze shifted to the writhing, dying snake, and he suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.
Unexpectedly, no sooner had it uttered its laughter than the giant snake, which appeared to be nine-tenths dead, suddenly leaped up with lightning speed and, following the Starry Sky Illusion, plunged into the unfathomably deep pit.
The big-eared monster's laughter abruptly stopped. With a swift movement, he arrived at the edge of the deep pit. However, after hesitating for a long time, he finally dared not go down. Instead, he raised his head and let out a long howl. In an instant, all the beasts in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons lowered their heads, terrified and running away in a panic, leaving behind a scene of utter chaos.
A steady stream of mutated energy was poured into Butterfly Fairy's body. Little Butterfly Fairy's face was pale, and she was barely breathing.
To protect its master from the attack, the Butterfly Fairy manipulated the Starry Sky Illusion Realm to absorb all the impact. It was only thanks to the protection of the Butterfly Fairy ancestors that she didn't die on the spot.
After taking over the Starry Sky Illusionary Realm on behalf of Butterfly Fairy, Xiao Wenbing's first action was to heal her. Since his special ability underwent a mutation, it had become incredibly effective, comparable to the Lesser Golden Talisman and the Life-Saving Golden Talisman. Seeing the situation was dire, he immediately exerted all his strength. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and managed to pull Butterfly Fairy back from the brink of death in mid-air.
After carefully examining Butterfly Fairy's injuries, although her life had been saved, her internal organs had shifted and her bones were shattered. Even with her mutant abilities, it would take at least a month for her to fully recover.
Suddenly, the Mirror God emitted a white light. Their figures froze in mid-air.
"The noodles have arrived."
They descended slowly, and as soon as they landed, Xiao Wenbing held Die Xian in his arms, gently stroking her beautiful hair, and said, "Die Xian, you've suffered this time, I'm sorry."
The Butterfly Fairy forced a smile, then suddenly frowned and said, "Master... I have no strength left..."
"Ah, don't speak, take good care of yourself, I'm here for you." Xiao Wenbing said, and once again injected his mutant power into her body.
With the support of her supernatural power, Butterfly Fairy's face flushed, and even her speech became fluent: "No, Master, I mean, I've run out of spiritual power."
"What?"
"After falling, I can no longer use my immortal power. Master, is it possible that I will never be able to recover?" Butterfly Fairy's eyes reddened, and she was on the verge of tears.
Xiao Wenbing felt a pang of pain in his heart. He hadn't expected that Die Xian was so badly injured that she had even lost her immortal spiritual power. Could it be that all her cultivation had been wasted?
Just as I was about to offer some words of comfort, a sudden gust of wind arose overhead, as if some enormous creature were pressing down on us.
Since entering the deep cave, Xiao Wenbing had been on high alert, not daring to relax for a moment. Now, hearing something was wrong, he used his movement technique while holding Diexian and instantly hid far away.
Fortunately, the pit was widening from top to bottom, providing him with ample space to dodge and maneuver.
Just as they retreated to a corner, they heard a deafening roar, and the enormous creature had fallen right in front of them.
Upon closer inspection, Xiao Wenbing shuddered, a bead of cold sweat instantly forming on his forehead. This creature was none other than the giant snake that had just confronted the multi-armed, big-eared monster up above.
Just by looking at these two monsters, it's clear that their strengths are roughly equal. Since they couldn't even withstand a single blow from the Big-Eared Monster, they certainly couldn't stop this giant serpent either.
In an instant, countless thoughts raced through Xiao Wenbing's mind. He looked around and saw a huge, circular pit with no exit. The entire pit was a seamless, natural formation.
Xiao Wenbing felt a chill in his heart; in such a place, there was no way to escape.
However, waiting to die was not in Xiao Wenbing's nature. He suddenly retreated to a corner and used the Earth Shield Technique to try to pass through the wall. However, the next moment, he discovered that he was unable to gather the power of the Earth Immortal Spirit within his body, let alone use the Earth Shield Technique.
Terrified, without thinking, he kicked out and slammed his foot hard against the corner of the wall.
"boom……"
Xiao Wenbing grimaced as he withdrew his massive foot, which was now numb with pain. The kick, powerful enough to shatter stone, felt like a blow to the shell of a tortoise god. The corner of the wall remained unbroken, but his foot was swollen considerably.
"Hiss..."
A similar painful sound came from the mouth of the giant snake behind him. The snake's huge body trembled for a moment, then gradually shrank, transforming into a handsome young man.
However, the handsome man was not feeling well at the moment. He clutched his stomach and collapsed to the ground in pain, with occasional soft crackling sounds coming from his abdomen. Clearly, not all the Heavenly Thunder Talismans had detonated yet.
He gasped in shock. To be alive after being ravaged by the Heavenly Thunder Talisman was so devastating inside his body, this guy's power was truly unbelievable.
Xiao Wenbing stared intently at him, pondering an escape plan in his mind.
The giant serpent immortal opposite him stared intently at Xiao Wenbing, his eyes filled with indescribable resentment. Suddenly, his stomach rumbled, letting out a loud burp. A wisp of smoke once again emerged from his mouth, nose, and seven orifices, indicating that he had just used another Heavenly Thunder Talisman.
Cold sweat beaded on Xiao Wenbing's forehead. He knew he had to leave. If he waited until this guy had digested all the Heavenly Thunder Talismans, it would be time for it to deal with them. But looking at this pit, there was no way to escape. The only way out was above the giant snake's head. But once he made a move, would the giant snake just sit idly by? Moreover, even if he managed to escape, another hit from that multi-armed, big-eared monster above would be fatal.
"call……"
A deep exhale came from the Great Serpent Immortal's mouth. It opened its mouth and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, and the Earth and Heaven Thunder Talismans within its body finally exploded completely.
Then, it slowly stood up, looked at Xiao Wenbing, and said viciously, "You little brat, you've ruined me! I'll seize your souls, skin you alive, and condemn you to eternal damnation!"
When the moment came, Xiao Wenbing calmed down. He smiled slightly at the pale-faced Die Xian and gently placed her behind him. It wasn't that he didn't want to take Die Xian into his Heavenly Void Ring, but rather that he couldn't use his immortal spiritual power at the moment, so he had to settle for second best.
"Mirror God, get ready, attack!" Holding the small bronze mirror, since escape was impossible, there was no other way but to fight.
"Why is it me again?" the Mirror God said with displeasure.
Xiao Wenbing ignored it, and gently placed his other finger on the summoning ring on his little finger. It seemed that the only way was to summon the precious god.
The Great Serpent Immortal glanced coldly at the bronze mirror in his hand and sneered, "Don't even think about it. This thing is a dead object; you can't use any magic on it. But don't worry, I'll slowly skin you alive and tear you apart..."
Hearing this voice filled with resentment, Xiao Wenbing's heart stirred. He recalled the words of the Butterfly Fairy and his own feelings, and he asked impatiently, "You can't use immortal spiritual power either?"
The Great Serpent Immortal wore a cold smile on his handsome face: "What? You think you can defeat me just because I've lost my immortal power? Let me tell you, I'm a Great Immortal of the Refining God Realm." He suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly, but there was still a fierce and resentful air about him in his laughter.
Xiao Wenbing's expression was strange. It turned out that it wasn't that the Butterfly Immortal Technique was broken, but rather that he simply couldn't use the power of immortal spirits here.
Although he cannot use immortal spiritual power within his body, he possesses more than one type of energy.
His mutant powers surged through his body, and at that moment, boundless courage welled up within him.
A great immortal at the Refining Spirit Realm?
I wonder what great immortals have left to rely on after losing their immortal powers?
The serpent immortal abruptly stopped smiling and strode towards him, grinning maliciously as he went: "You're the one who got me killed. I'll grind you to dust and condemn you to eternal damnation."
He threw a heavy punch at Xiao Wenbing's face. Although he had lost his immortal spiritual power, his body, which was at the Refining Spirit Realm, had reached an incredible level of strength.
The Great Serpent Immortal was confident that he could easily defeat the mere Nascent Soul cultivator before him with a single punch, leaving him utterly humiliated. And then there was the demon immortal beside him. He would play with them slowly, ensuring that these two, who had driven him to the brink of despair, were trapped in a state of utter misery, unable to live or die.
"Bang……"
Punch to punch, Xiao Wenbing threw a punch of his own, which collided heavily with the Great Serpent Immortal's fist.
"Ah!" A scream came from the mouth of the Great Serpent Immortal. He clenched his fists and staggered backward, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief as he stared at Xiao Wenbing.
How could his fist be harder than mine? That's impossible.
With a swaying motion, the Great Serpent Immortal had already pushed its speed to the limit, wanting to get as far away from this place as possible. However, having lost its immortal power and being in a life-threatening situation, it was subject to layers of constraints, and its movements were actually only slightly faster than the fastest ordinary person.

However, just as he stood still, he saw the human opposite him reveal a handsome smile, and then approach him with lightning speed. Although he could see it clearly, he was completely unable to react.
Even in the midst of death, it could still maintain such immense power and speed. The Great Serpent Immortal's face turned deathly pale. Pointing at Xiao Wenbing, it trembled as it said, "You...you haven't lost your immortal power?"
With a slight twitch of his lips, Xiao Wenbing's smile held an indescribable danger: "What do you say?"
Volume 19, Chapter 1: Orochi Surrenders
------------------------
The sun had just peeked over the eastern mountains, casting beams of intense golden light, as if laughing loudly, utterly disregarding the fragile veil of mist. The azure sky, cloudless, appeared all the more profound and boundless.
However, in stark contrast to the bright sunshine above, a blood-curdling scream suddenly rang out from the dark, damp, and unfathomably deep pit.
"Strip me of my land? Tear me apart? Damn it... Let's see who strips whose land and who tears whose bones?"
A series of loud thuds of fists colliding with flesh rang out. Xiao Wenbing's punches landed squarely, making the giant serpent spirit howl in pain.
Faced with Xiao Wenbing, who was much faster and had much harder fists, the Great Serpent Immortal had no choice but to take the beating. Eventually, it lay down on the ground, hands covering its head, letting Xiao Wenbing punch and kick it, only occasionally letting out a wail before giving up.
However, Xiao Wenbing, who appeared aggressive on the surface, became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. Although he used all his strength in every punch and rendered the giant serpent immortal powerless, that was all he could do. Up until now, the giant serpent immortal hadn't even been scratched.
Seeing the giant python, which boasted of being at the Refining Spirit Realm, bow down and submit to his fist, Xiao Wenbing felt a strong sense of pride.
A Celestial being at the Refining Spirit Realm! The next step is godhood. To think I could defeat such a being—not many people would believe it.
However, Xiao Wenbing finally frowned. This guy's skin was too tough, and his body was too sturdy. He couldn't keep fighting like this forever.
He withdrew his fist and retreated to Butterfly Fairy's side, where Little Butterfly Fairy was already dumbfounded.
"Little Butterfly Fairy, how are you?"
"It's nothing, Master, you're really amazing." Butterfly Fairy said with mixed feelings of surprise and delight. This was a Great Immortal of the highest level in the Immortal Realm, the Earth Refining God, yet he had been defeated by Master. This showed that Master was indeed the most powerful in the world.
"Haha." Xiao Wenbing laughed twice, looking at the Earthly Void Ring in his hand. Although he couldn't use the immortal spiritual energy, the special ability was still there, so he might as well give it a try.
Using his special ability to probe into the Heavenly Void Ring, Xiao Wenbing saw the Earth Mustard Seed Space within it. He breathed a sigh of relief; as long as it worked, that was good.
After searching for a while, he still couldn't find any miraculous pills to heal his injuries. Although his own special ability was already equivalent to a first-class healing elixir, Xiao Wenbing cherished Die Xian and still wanted her to recover quickly.
Although the giant snake was in excruciating pain from Xiao Wenbing's beating, it secretly observed Xiao Wenbing's every move.
Seeing that he could still use the Mustard Seed Space, they immediately realized that the other party's energy had not dissipated.
"Ahem, fellow immortal."
"My ass!" Xiao Wenbing roared. They were perfectly fine up there, but it was this giant snake sucking at them that had put them in such a dangerous situation.
Thinking of this, evil thoughts arose in his heart, and he suddenly stepped forward and gave the giant snake another good beating.
The Great Serpent Immortal, who had always reigned supreme and ruled this land, had never been treated like this before. Truly, a tiger fallen into the plains, a dragon stranded on shallow waters…
After a long while, Xiao Wenbing retreated, panting, looking at the giant serpent immortal with frustration. "Is this guy even human? How come he's so hard to kill?" At this point, he had a clear understanding of immortals at the Refining Spirit Realm. Even without immortal spiritual power, they were not people anyone could destroy.
