"Multiple Magic Bombardment!" Li Tian roared, and countless magic circles appeared around the giant python, followed by various spells falling simultaneously, but they were like tickles when they hit the giant python's body.
Seeing this, Li Tian directly swooped down, his sharp claws fiercely raking across the giant python's body, only managing to inflict a tiny scratch. Li Tian said with a sinister smile, "Try this!" Then, his entire left hand transformed into a pool of viscous liquid that dripped onto the small wound.
The sizzling sound of corrosion accompanied by white smoke appeared. The Paros Flame Python immediately burrowed into the lava. Li Tian hovered in the air again, and the giant python's tail struck from the side with lightning speed. Li Tian's arms formed hard rock armor to block in front of him, but he was still sent flying backward, embedding himself deeply into the wall.
"This beast has so much strength!" At this moment, the giant python rushed out of the water again, accompanied by the appearance of multiple red magic circles. A large number of scorching fireballs attacked Li Tian with the giant python's roar. Li Tian deployed multiple barriers to barely resist. But then, an orange-white light faintly appeared in the Paros Flame Python's mouth, and it subsequently spewed out a fierce blaze.
Li Tian was not to be outdone; his cheeks puffed up as large as fists, sparks flickering around his mouth, and he also spewed out a flame. The two collided, and immediately, the fire illuminated the entire cavern. Li Tian was at a clear disadvantage, so he unleashed the Sticky Oil of the Giant Oil Frog (B) with both hands and used Great Wind Magic from behind to intensify the flames, finally overpowering the giant python. The giant python did not dodge, letting the flames wash over it. When the flames dispersed, the giant python was completely unharmed.
Li Tian's eyes glinted with cold light, and his hands transformed into giant scythes, rushing directly towards the giant python's vulnerable seven-inch spot. With a few "swish, swish" sounds, he only managed to create a few shallow scratches; not even a drop of blood flowed. The giant python suddenly turned around and opened its massive mouth to attack Li Tian. Li Tian quickly grabbed the giant python's fangs with both hands, his feet planted on either side of its tongue, resisting with all his might.
The Paros Flame Python charged through the cavern with Li Tian, who was forced to break several stone pillars. Fortunately, his hard armor protected him from the impact. "Beast, try this!" With that, Li Tian's entire body began to secrete green corrosive liquid. The giant python's pupils constricted, and it began to shake its head wildly. At this moment, sharp spikes grew from Li Tian's feet, firmly piercing its lower jaw, and one hand aimed deep into the giant python's throat. "Die." The cold words were uttered, followed by a single explosion. Smoke continuously billowed from the giant python's mouth, its eyes became hollow, and its entire body fell into the lava.
Li Tian flew out of the black smoke. After coughing a few times, the wounds on his body slowly began to heal. He smiled as he started to descend, preparing to savor this delicacy, but after a short while, he realized something was wrong.
The surface of the lava began to bubble incessantly, like boiling water. "Not good!" Li Tian inwardly cursed, quickly flying upward. Then, pillars of lava continuously erupted from below. Scorching lava constantly shot into the sky, and even Li Tian, who had strong resistance to lava, was easily burned by the splashed lava.
"That beast has infused its magic into the entire lava pool." Li Tian was somewhat surprised. As he continuously dodged, a thick tail once again wrapped around Li Tian, pulling him into the lava. Li Tian used all his defensive magic on himself, struggled to break free, and quickly jumped out of the lava onto a rock. The giant tail struck again, and he quickly flew into the air. In an instant, a giant abyss mouth attacked from behind. "It's too late," Li Tian exclaimed in shock, twisting his body frantically.
Li Tian's lower body was bitten off again.
The giant python then used a charge to slam his upper body onto the shore, creating a large crater. Li Tian spat out a large mouthful of blood, and the bleeding from below wouldn't stop. The Paros Flame Python stared down at Li Tian, then directly threw Li Tian's lower body into the lava. His unprotected body was almost instantly melted, leaving no trace. This was because when it had previously resided at the bottom of the lava, it had seen magical beasts that had swallowed Li Tian and died miserably.
Li Tian gasped, sweating profusely, yet still smiled and gave the giant python the middle finger. The Paros Flame Python wondered why this human was so tenacious, so its eyes flashed red, and it flickered its tongue. Then, a huge and dangerous, bizarre blood-red magic circle formed in the large area where Li Tian lay.
Li Tian smelled the scent of death. As the giant python roared, to Li Tian's shocked expression, a terrifying pillar of flame shot into the sky, its might so fierce that it directly pierced through several layers of rock walls, as if it wanted to go straight through the labyrinth and out into the heavens!
Li Tian's eyes rolled back, his entire body almost charred. His body floated in the upper level of the labyrinth due to the impact. Just as he was about to lose consciousness, several magic birds rushed towards him. Li Tian's arm suddenly and involuntarily transformed into a long snake, opening its gaping maw and striking at the magic birds.
...
The Paros Flame Python, seeing no trace of Li Tian, assumed he had long turned to ash and prepared to dive into the lava to recuperate. At this moment, a figure shot from the upper level directly to the lower level, rushing towards the giant python's head like lightning. The giant python sensed danger and quickly tilted its head. The figure flashed past, and a gash appeared below the giant python's eye, accompanied by a burning sensation.
The Paros Flame Python looked closely and saw Li Tian, neither human nor ghost, suspended in the air.
His left hand was the lightning-infused sharp claw of the Silver Snow Sky Demon Wolf (A), his right hand was the flame-infused sharp blade of the Assassin Flame Mantis (A), a long, highly venomous stinger from the One-Eyed Demon Gu Beast (B) grew from his backside, the wings of the Sonic Giant Demon Bat (B) were on his back, and the twin horns of the Urgent Thunder Scarlet Oni (A) adorned his head. His hair had turned completely white, and his entire body was covered in purplish-black armor, which was the thick skin of the Morgando Rock Rhino (B+) and the purple scales of the Amante Poisonous Snake (A+). His eyes glowed red, and his fangs were bared in a grin, making him look like an extremely powerful stitched-up monster. Then, his body continuously emitted lights of different colors; this was Li Tian applying buff spells to himself! The massive and ominous magical power emanating from his entire body actually made the Paros Flame Python begin to tremble!
"Having played for so long, it's time for me to get serious." Multiple voices spoke in unison from Li Tian's mouth, which was very eerie. "Die!" He then transformed into a black lightning bolt and attacked the giant python. The Paros Flame Python spewed out fierce flames, but Li Tian crashed into the flames and rushed out unaffected.
The Paros Flame Python felt a chill, and let out a roar towards the sky. The lava beneath it began to converge on its entire body, finally forming lava armor that was both offensive and defensive. Li Tian quickly moved up and down around the giant python's body, instantly striking the giant python thousands of times. Lightning and flames intertwined in the air, continuously making the sound of armor cracking.
"Break for me!" Li Tian roared, and the Paros Flame Python's lava armor instantly shattered. He then plunged his sharp blade into the giant python's body. The fiery blade entered the flesh, and Li Tian rapidly flew downward, directly cutting a long wound on the giant python's body. Blood continuously splattered outwards, and the flames continued to burn.
The Paros Flame Python thrashed wildly in pain. At this moment, Li Tian came to the sky again, his hands returning to their original form and raised above his head. A dark black energy ball, twice the size of the giant python's head, rapidly gathered, with black lightning crackling around it. "Take this!" Li Tian slammed the energy ball down, hitting the giant python's head and pushing it straight down, directly sinking the giant python into the lava.
Li Tian pursued the victory, plunging into the lava. The Paros Flame Python was already covered in wounds. Seeing Li Tian charging at it, the former master of the labyrinth now felt an unprecedented fear—this was the threat of death. It quickly thrashed its body and fled. It didn't understand why the human who had almost been killed by it earlier was now chasing it to kill!
The Paros Flame Python desperately fled, but Li Tian was faster. He quickly came beneath the giant python, his right hand instantly transforming into the giant fist of a Gargoyle (B), and he fiercely struck the giant snake. The Paros Flame Python took a brutal punch, and its entire body was actually sent flying out of the lava surface. Li Tian looked up, his eyes glowing red, and the twin horns on his head began to brew purple lightning, which then directly struck the giant python, paralyzing the Paros Flame Python with electricity.
The Paros Flame Python was electrocuted until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, smoking as it fell to the ground, utterly powerless. Li Tian shot out of the lava surface, looking at the giant snake's miserable state with amusement. The Paros Flame Python stared fixedly at Li Tian, as if having made some kind of decision. Its entire body began to glow, and then the light grew increasingly intense. It was going to self-destruct its Source Spirit to perish with Li Tian!
The self-destruction of an S-rank demonic beast could easily destroy a city; being caught in the self-destruction of an S+-rank demonic beast at close range would likely result in complete annihilation!
But Li Tian was not flustered in the slightest; he even reverted to his original form, sitting on a stone and watching calmly. Sure enough, the Paros Flame Python's eyes suddenly trembled, and its entire body began to shake violently, its expression appearing extremely pained, and the light on its body slowly dissipated.
Li Tian said with a wicked smile, "From the moment I first wounded you, I also conveniently poured a tiny, tiny bit of mixed potent venom into your wound. When you bit my lower body, my blood also seeped with potent venom, and the same was true when I attacked you just now. Now, the poison has finally taken effect."
The Paros Flame Python roared, its body convulsing. In a short while, the former master of this lava layer fell silent.
