Shocked, the crowd erupted into an uproar.
Seven-colored Sky Devouring Pythons were a kind of mystical beast like Divine Dragons, and they were extremely rare nowadays. It was the first time many of the people present had ever seen such a spirit beast. The main reason was that their survival rate was too low when compared to other mythical beasts, such as Divine Dragons and Phoenixes.
It was also why the young master of King Pingyang held the Beast Appreciating Feasts when he caught one.
Bang, bang, bang!
The cage was ten meters high. Each of its iron bars was cold and black, emanating a sealing force that made one’s heart tremble. The python was trapped inside, slamming at the bars. But no matter how hard it tried, it could not break the confinement. Instead, its body was covered with scratches from all the attempts.
It hissed, its voice filled with monstrous fury, and there were tears in its eyes. Apparently, being treated as a pet made this huge python feel extremely sad, angry, and ashamed.
“I’ve never seen a beast so beautiful! It truly is worthy to be an ancient mystical beast!”
“Yes, very pretty indeed, especially those scales. The scales of a mythical beast are precious. How I wish I could have some of them.”
“A dress made with those scales will certainly be very gorgeous!”
The people were chuckling, their voices unpleasant to the ear.
The young master smiled faintly. “This Seven-colored Sky Devouring Python is captured by some hunters in the wilderness. Don’t be deceived by its Demigod cultivation base. The few hunters are all low-grade Gods, and yet they were nearly killed by it.”
He clasped his hands behind his back as if he was admiring his most beautiful private possession.
“I had thought of training it. Unfortunately, an ancient mystical beast like this is wild, and it will require a lot of effort to train. I’m about to break through to the God Realm, so I don’t have time to do that. That’s why I held this Beast Appreciating Feast in advance,” said the young master.
The people around him burst into envious exclamations.
“Has young master’s comprehension of the Law of Destruction reached perfection?”
“That’s a piece of news worth celebrating! Young master is going to break through the God Realm! As someone who comprehended the supreme Law of the Universe, young master will certainly become a God King in the future, just like King Pingyang!”
“Congratulations, young master!”
The crowd hurriedly uttered words of compliments, and every face looked envious. It was a major event when a Demigod comprehending the supreme Law of the Universe broke through to the God Realm!
“Let’s put these aside for now. Today’s star is my Seven-colored Sky Devouring Python, so enjoy it… Also, the feast meticulously prepared by the Earth Divine Chef of King Pingyang’s mansion is about ready. I hope you all have a good time!”
The young master laughed. Apparently, the crowd’s compliments made him very happy. It was not hard to tell that he was very proud of himself since he was able to host an extravagant event like this.
Bang!
The Seven-colored Sky Devouring Python slammed at the iron bars again, causing the whole cage to shake, and then it opened its mouth and hissed.
The people around it laughed. The young master walked up, placed a hand on one of the bars, and said, “You just have to be a quiet and beautiful python.” He smiled faintly. The next moment, his eyes lit up. A burst of divine pressure erupted from him, and Runes of Law emerged and wheeled around his figure.
The Seven-colored Sky Devouring Python gave a whine in an instant as its body fell and smashed onto the floor inside the cage. It was as if an invisible chain had bound it.
Luo Sanniang furrowed her brows slightly. She was a little uncomfortable with the young master’s action. Suddenly, she heard a clicking sound. Narrowing her eyes, she turned her head and saw Bu Fang clench his palms into fists and was staring coldly at the young master in the distance. The look in his eyes made her heart skip a beat. ‘This young man isn’t really going to make a scene, is he?’
“I need to leave here for a while,” Bu Fang glanced at her and said with a straight face. After that, he turned and walked away. Luo Sanniang opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she could not get the words out.
The Seven-colored Sky Devouring Python, lying inside the dark iron cage, was weeping. Suddenly, its eyes moved, glanced in a certain direction, froze, and gleamed brightly.
The young master frowned. His divine sense was enveloping the cage at all times, so the change in the python’s emotion naturally could not escape him. He followed its eyes, but he only found a seductive woman there.
“Luo Sanniang?” He paused, then smiled gently and nodded at her.
Luo Sanniang smiled back at him and bowed. Deep inside her, however, she was utterly shocked. She knew the python was not looking at her but Bu Fang, who had just left. ‘Does this python know… him?’
Suddenly, she sucked in a cold breath. She finally realized why Bu Fang asked her for an invitation to the Beast Appreciating Feast. It turned out that he knew this python! That also meant that he was likely to strike. After all, they were friends, and he naturally would not stand idly by.
For a moment, Luo Sanniang was somewhat bewildered. ‘Dammit! Something big is about to happen!’
…
Bu Fang turned around and left the crowd. Frowning, he tried to think of a way to save the Seven-colored Sky Devouring Python, who was also Flowery. Yes, the moment he saw the python, he knew it was her. He would never get her aura wrong. Flowery was his friend, and Bu Fang could not bear to see his friend suffer.
If Luo Sanniang had not told him about the dangers of King Pingyang’s mansion, he might have acted on the spot. According to her, King Pingyang was a God King, and the mansion was guarded by several Perfected Gods. It was a force that Bu Fang could not shake today. So if he wished to rescue Flowery, he had to think of a plan. He would certainly save her, but the problem was how to do that.
He was walking in the garden, frowning, when suddenly a dangerous aura approached him. Bu Fang’s pupils constricted. His Vermilion Robe fluttered, and his body moved sideways for hundreds of meters in a flash. The next moment, the place where he had stood gradually twisted and then burst apart like a bubble.
“Oh? I can’t believe you managed to dodge it…” A surprised voice rang out as Zhao Wuhen slowly walked out from a dark corner with the Power of Law swirling around his palm. It was a fearsome Law. Although it was not as strong as the supreme Law, its power was extremely terrible.
“It’s the Law of Devour that I am comprehending. Although it’s not as strong as the supreme Laws of the Universe, it’s considered the strongest Law under them!” Zhao Wuhen said with a faint smile as if he wanted to let Bu Fang die knowing the reason.
“To be honest, I don’t want to kill you, but your presence threatens my standing in Luo Luo’s eyes,” he said, toying the Power of Law in his hand.
Bu Fang looked at Zhao Wuhen and was lost in thought. The next moment, the corners of his mouth curved upward slightly.
“Don’t you know what is your standing in her eyes?” Bu Fang said indifferently.
As his voice rang out, it instantly ignited Zhao Wuhen’s anger, causing him to explode like a powder keg. “Pipe down! Did I let you talk?!” he growled and waved his hand.
In the blink of an eye, the place where Bu Fang stood began to twist again, but he had already jumped to somewhere else.
“With your black temper, it would be a miracle if Steward Luo falls for you… It’s fine to have confidence, but you should have a clear understanding of yourself.” Bu Fang shook his head, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. The expression and his attitude of a winner further provoked Zhao Wuhen.
“Are you trying to buy yourself some time so Luo Luo can come and save you? Stop dreaming… She will not come,” Zhao Wuhen suddenly calmed down and said with a smile.
Amid the crowd, Luo Sanniang’s hand was grabbed by a beautiful lady, and they were talking and laughing. Master Cheng was staring at her from a distance with an amused smile. He turned around and looked into the distance, where an array had concealed the ripples of the battle, so the guards were not alerted.
In fact, Zhao Wuhen and the young master of King Pingyang were on good terms. So even if he was discovered, nothing would happen to him. He was just trying to kill a Demigod from an ordinary great world, which was not a big deal at all. The young master would not blame him for such a tiny thing.
The ground kept twisting, while the void burst apart like bubbles. The power of the Law of Devour was quite terrible. Zhao Wuhen fixed his eyes at Bu Fang like a cat who was toying with a mouse. He had sealed the void, so there was no way Bu Fang could escape.
Zhao Wuhen was the heir of an aristocratic family. Except for those talented Demigods, who were comprehending the supreme Laws like the princes and the young master, he was not afraid of any other Demigods.
Although everyone said that he was not attending to his proper duties, and the head of the Zhao Family also hated him for his lack of effort, he thought he was good enough with his talents. Besides, why should he waste his time cultivating when he was supported by the Zhao Family?
Rumble!
The power of the Law of Devour gathered in front of him and turned into a spear. With its tip pointing at Bu Fang, it sped forward in a flash.
Bu Fang focused his eyes and shook his hand. The Divine flame emerged and stopped the twisting spear. It looked as if he had used up all his strength to block the attack.
When Zhao Wuhen saw that, he sneered. “How could Luo Luo possibly fall for a loser like you? I have not even used one-tenth of my strength, and yet you can no longer stop my attack?”
He could not believe that Master Cheng asked him to deal with this kind of loser. It simply soiled his hands.
“Explode!”
At his voice, the twisting spear, which was fighting with the Divine flame, burst apart in an instant, producing a deafening rumble. A terrible explosion devoured the array. For a moment, flames churned and filled the air. A huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and fearsome blasts swept out in all directions.
Zhao Wuhen was struck dumb. What happened? When did his twisting spear become so powerful? How could he not know that he had become so strong?
As the explosion spread, the array he had prepared was ripped apart by the flames.
“Ah! You are so strong!” A miserable shout rang out as the flames spread.
The fluctuation of the explosion instantly attracted everyone’s attention, while the flames shone as bright as diamonds in the night, drawing many eyes.
Accompanied by a miserable shout, Bu Fang shot backward like a cannonball.
Zhao Wuhen froze. “What is going on?! I haven’t made a serious move yet!”
An oppressive rumble rang out, and the fluctuation of the explosion instantly attracted the crowd’s attention. Everyone turned and looked over.
Luo Sanniang’s face changed. “Zhao Wuhen! How dare you!” She roared, kicked the ground, and shot into the sky. At this moment, the pressure of a mid-grade God exploded out of her body.
“Luo Luo… I…” Zhao Wuhen did not know what to say.
Meanwhile, Bu Fang, flying backward and shrouded in flames, smashed onto the dark iron cage like a cannonball. A cracking sound rang out as the cage, which the Seven-colored Sky Devouring Python had failed to break, broke apart! The python, who lay listlessly on the ground, immediately leaped up and hissed!
The young master’s eyes narrowed, while the experts around him sucked in their breaths and exclaimed. Zhao Wuhen’s face was blank. He did not know what was going on.

Suddenly, a column of flame thrust into the sky and enveloped the cage in a flash.
The young master’s pressure exploded out. “How dare you! The python is trying to escape!”
