Xu Ran’s comment expressed his dissatisfaction with why the snake bone monster had retracted the eerie green mist.

He had discovered that this strikingly strange green mist could actually be converted by the Innate Qi within him, transforming into Innate Qi and being directly absorbed into his body.

Currently, Xu Ran was in dire need of Innate Qi; the long-yearned-for [Immortal Sword Skill] had just been initiated, the first Immortal Sword just cast, and reaching Great Success would take an unknown amount of time given the current pace?!

However, just that wisp of green mist had increased the Innate Qi within him by a third; that was a third of Innate Qi!

Now, the Innate Qi within Xu Ran was innumerable, coiled in all corners of his body like strands of hair, and this true third of Innate Qi saved Xu Ran a significant amount of cultivation time.

When the green mist suddenly dissipated, it was like being dragged out of a warm bed on a frigid winter morning, equally uncomfortable!

Xu Ran looked at the snake bone monster and found that its body emitted a green light, and suddenly he understood everything.

"Did you just retract the green mist back into your body?" Xu Ran pondered for a moment.

"Seems like I’ll have to dismantle your bones one by one and see if I can convert them into Innate Qi!"

With that, Xu Ran took a deep breath, then clenched his hand, and streams of Innate Qi, as fine as hair, gushed out from within, attaching to every inch of his body. Simultaneously, a white light emerged over his body, and his arms and legs exuded a crystalline and translucent appearance.

This was a special stance that belonged to the [Innate Saint’s Sacred Body] at Great Success; although the snake bone monster’s green mist no longer posed a threat to him, he had to take seriously the incredibly strong body and white bones, and the scattered runes covering it.

All of this was unknown territory; the lion fighting the rabbit uses its full strength, that’s the principle, he couldn’t afford to slip here.

"Bang!"

As Xu Ran activated the full stance of [Innate Saint’s Sacred Body], the huge body of the white snake bone monster in the distance curled into a ball, transforming into a white-green meteor, shooting violently towards him.

Without any unnecessary motions, and upon a closer look, one could see the huge snake bone previously used to attack the peregrine falcon, now glowing green, swiftly as lightning, aiming to pierce straight through Xu Ran’s chest.

Along the way, sonic booms echoed endlessly, and countless small stones were swept up by its lightning-quick speed, kicking up sand and stones, forming a small ring around the enormous snake bone.

"Clang---"

Faced with the powerful aura brought by the snake bone monster, Xu Ran did not cower and stepped forward. At this moment, the Spiritual Qi within him surged like a tide, and his Liuli-like arm, carrying an overwhelming weight, clashed heavily with the enormous snake bone.

In an instant.

A crisp metallic sound rang out, as if an invisible force wave erupted from the point of contact, and in the next moment, the ground instantly crumbled, massive cracks, like spider webs, spread open.

The power wave swept outward, Xu Ran’s body took a step back, and his Liuli-like arm showed no sign of change, his face still bearing a calm expression.

Then, he turned to look in the direction of the snake bone monster.

Only to see.

A white mass rapidly flying back in the air, spinning constantly, like a top being relentlessly whipped.

"Boom!"

Then, that immense white body crashed into the ancient peak nearby, and the immense impact caused stones on the mountain to tumble down, accurately hitting the white mass, stirring up a cloud of green dust.

"Whiz whiz whiz---"

Seeing the snake bone monster hurtling back and getting heavily smashed against the mountain, Xu Ran naturally couldn’t give it a moment to breathe. With white light swirling over him, fierce Spiritual Qi burst out of his body, and his entire person, like a Supreme Divine Sword, charged towards the mountain.

The snake bone monster had just pulled itself out from the rocks when the green flames in its eye sockets dimmed considerably; shaking its head, it barely recovered a shred of consciousness to perceive the scene before it.

The result.

A small Liuli-like figure, exuding fierce Spiritual Qi, appeared right in front of its eyes like a Supreme Divine Sword.

"Boom---"

"Boom---"

"Boom---"

"Boom---"

...

Only to see.

The small figure towered over the snake bone monster, punching it, repeatedly, punch after punch, landing heavily on its body.

As punch after punch landed on the snake bone monster, the green runes glistening on its body gradually dimmed, and the green flames in its eye sockets also began to fade.

"Boom--"

Xu Ran pummeled the snake bone monster with hundreds of punches. Finally, the supreme Fist Intent smashed into its body, directly drilling the snake bone monster into the mountain, creating a hole several tens of meters deep.

The entire snake bone monster was embedded there, unable to move.

At this point, the green runes on its body completely dimmed, and the green flames in its eye sockets were utterly extinguished.

"Crash--crash---"

Xu Ran slowly left the mountain, hearing only the sound of things falling.

Surveying the scene.

The snake bone monster, originally embedded in the mountain, had transformed into a mass of white bones scattered on the ground, the decayed aura from the ancients and the Netherworld completely vanished, as if it had never appeared.

"It’s over?!"

Looking at the lifeless snake bone monster, Xu Ran felt slightly unsatisfied.

This time, he truly unleashed his full physical power and for the first time released the full stance of [Innate Saint’s Sacred Body]. The endless power within him made him feel unsatisfied even after completely killing the snake bone monster.

"I thought it could withstand more!" Xu Ran glanced at the bones scattered all around, "It’s my fault for not holding back, I forgot to convert the green mist into Innate Qi!"

In the heat of the fight, he momentarily forgot his original intention. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

At this moment.

The peregrine falcon, safely hidden, saw the snake bone monster that had almost killed it in one move just now, being broken apart by its master Xu Ran punch after punch!

When had its master’s physical power become so terrifying?

It must be known that its master Xu Ran was not even two years old!

Such a body possessing such power, it might be stronger than a Demon Beast!

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to describe Master Xu Ran as a humanoid Demon Beast.

The peregrine falcon stared blankly at its master Xu Ran, whose Liuli-like body did not reveal the terrifying power it harbored.

"The White Ape and Mantis Demon from back then, and now its master can turn them into pulp with a single punch!"

The peregrine falcon speculated in its heart.

Seeing the snake bone monster slain, the peregrine falcon was just about to rush over in excitement.

Suddenly.

Green phosphorescence flickered faintly on the ground like ghostly fire from Hell spying on the human world. Around, originally flat land sprouted several tall and ominous trees, their twisting branches entwining like heaps of corpses piled up, appearing extremely eerie.

As these strange trees rose, the ground began to tremble slightly; at first, the tremor was barely noticeable, but after a while, the shaking grew increasingly violent.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a low rumbling sound, it was as if the earth was groaning in agony. The leaves atop the newly raised trees swayed incessantly, and thick vines seeped out from the ground below, emerging on the surface.

These tree roots that broke through the soil intertwined chaotically.

Gradually, those entangled tree roots formed into giant snake bone monsters, making it look like there were ten snake bone monsters.

As soon as these ten snake bone monsters appeared, they opened their massive snake jaws and directly devoured the trees.
