Chapter 13: Good Luck

　　"The host devoured a single Black Light Essence Ore and received 5 Devouring Points!"

　　"Ding! The host has broken through to the fifth middle stage of the Martial Way!"

　　In an instant, though Ye Xuan's aura had increased a bit, the strength of the spirit energy in his body had risen dramatically.

　　Hiss!

　　When the White Scaled Python saw that Ye Xuan had lost its item, it immediately opened its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth and bit towards Ye Xuan's head as if it wanted to swallow him whole directly.

　　"Gale Chop!"

　　Ye Xuan raised the longsword in his hand. A sword aura sharper than before slashed out, instantly cutting across the White Scaled Python's body.

　　Hiss!

　　A m.u.f.fled sound rang out as the head of the White Scaled Python flew over. Its body was separated from its head!

　　Instant kill!

　　Looking at the still moving snake on the ground, Ye Xuan wiped off his cold sweat. Seems like he had gambled correctly. That black boulder was indeed a good thing.

　　Five Devouring Points… This meant that the price of the black stone was around five million silver taels.

　　"What a disgusting animal. Even though its head was chopped off, it could still move. If I weren't careful, I would have been eaten alive."

　　Ye Xuan shook his head helplessly.

　　Snakes were a unique species. If a part of the body was separated from the head, it could maintain its movement function for some time. Therefore, the beheaded tongue could also react or spit out the snake's tongue.

　　Right now, Ye Xuan already had Five Devour Points. He immediately spent three points on it in exchange for a skill called the Hand of Devour.

　　In the future, as long as he touched it with his hand, it would be very convenient to engulf it.

　　Also, the devouring process could level up, allowing him to devour an entire region.

　　Not only that, the Devour Points could also be exchanged for Devouring s.p.a.ce. It was something similar to a Heaven & Earth Ring but much safer.

　　Ye Xuan placed his hand on the snake's still swaying body and devoured it. Then, he pierced through its head with his sword and swallowed its head.

　　"As expected of a fifth stage Demon Beast, it has improved quite a bit."

　　Ye Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

　　Initially, he only needed around five hundred thousand silver taels to breakthrough, but now that he had acquired something comparable to five million silver taels, he had directly broken through to the intermediate stage of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao.
