Chen Sanliang looked at the snake body, as large as a mountain range, with eyes full of shock: "Judging by its size, it seems like a serpent! It’s unbelievable that such a massive serpent exists in this world."
As he spoke, the Ba Snake’s Essence Qi dispersed, constantly being captured and absorbed by the various demon beasts around, making their Qi Mechanism even more robust.
"If we could eat its flesh and devour its essence blood, we would certainly be able to return to our ancestral forms," a Bear the size of a small hill said, eyes full of fervor.
"Tear through its skin, devour its flesh, the bloodline return to the ancestors is today," the Bear looked at the Ba Snake’s body, suddenly stretching out a claw to grab at the Ba Snake’s scales.
Then the scales remained unmoved like a mountain, and the Bear was directly repelled backward over a dozen meters by the force of the recoil.
"How is it possible! My strike was actually unable to tear through its scale defense?" The Bear’s eyes were full of disbelief.
Beside him, Chen Sanliang had his hands in his sleeves, his eyes glancing around at the entire Ba Snake mountain range: "This is a relic of Ancient Divine Demons; we are, after all, mere mortals, unable to break through is also normal."
"Are we to guard this Treasure Mountain in vain, yet unable to benefit from it?" The old Bear’s eyes were filled with embarrassment.
"Does anyone have a Divine Weapon to break open this snake’s body?" Chen Sanliang asked.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell into silence, the atmosphere became somewhat sullen as everyone imagined returning empty-handed after facing the Treasure Mountain, a feeling truly hard to describe.
It must be known that for everyone, who are of the Demon Race, the Ba Snake Blood is the greatest Creation.
"I seem to smell blood, the body above the Great Snake should be injured, we can go to the injured area to absorb the blood." At this time, an old Mouse the size of a car sniffed continuously in the air.
"You wait below, I will go and scout!"
With these words, its body leapt up, surprisingly shuttling incessantly between the scales, those smooth scales unable to hinder its steps.
The Mouse, although massive, moved with agility, and in no time it climbed up, discovering the two large blood pools formed by gouged eyes, then signaled downward and carefully observed the blood, then without hesitation jumped straight in.
"Isn’t it afraid of being burst to death by the energy in the Ba Snake Blood?" Zhang Chen murmured, finding the Mouse Spirit’s straightforward leap unbelievable, its actions truly too reckless.
However, thinking about how the Fox Spirit saw through it at a glance, Zhang Chen felt that the Mouse Spirit might not be reckless, perhaps it saw some indication.
The Mouse Spirit floated in the blood, strong mysterious energy continuously surging into its body, while the beasts below had already begun to move, the Master of Qingqiu leapt up, skillfully bouncing between the scales, rising and falling several meters at a time, directly reaching the pit of blood and plunged into it.
The corpulent wild Boar actually leapt, carrying Chen Sanliang onto the back of a big Bear, on whose back wings suddenly sprouted, and then the other animals scrambled onto the big Bear, which flapped its wings, creating a whirlwind that swept everyone up, flying towards the mountain.
"Amazing skill!" Zhang Chen said with eyes full of surprise as he watched the whirlwind that sprouted behind the big Bear; it was definitely not an ordinary wind, but Yifeng.
However, the other’s wind started and ended too abruptly, Zhang Chen did not have time to discern the origin of that Yifeng.
At this time, the various demon beasts saw the two blood pools, their eyes turned red at once, they all jumped in and started bathing, simultaneously gobbling up the blood in the pools.
Zhang Chen shook his head at this sight: "Too inefficient!"
They passively waited for the blood to seep out, how could that compare to actively devouring it?
In terms of devouring speed, these demon beasts were not even a ten-thousandth as fast as he was.
The most crucial part was that these demon beasts didn’t have anyone above the eighth rank, unable to see through his Invisibility Rune.
As far as he knew, the Master of Qingqiu was at the eighth-rank Yin Spirit Realm, but even at the same rank, he couldn’t see through his Invisibility Rune’s disguise.
At this time, each party devoured their own share, without disturbing each other.
As for Ma Zhou, at this time, he was submerged within the blood pool, with a depth of over a hundred meters; the space within the two pools was vast, and with mysterious power to confuse them, nobody could keep their eyes open while soaking, and thus everyone kept to themselves in peace.
"Who knows how many more experts the Demon Race will add after devouring this Ba Snake Essence Blood." Zhang Chen sighed internally, lamenting that he couldn’t suppress so many demon beasts alone.
As the various demon beasts submerged in the blood, the Qi Mechanism within the blood rolled and continuously emitted a series of energy fluctuations, indicating that the demon beasts were gaining considerable benefits.
Time flew by, this place being several hundred miles from the surrounding towns, and without Zhang Chen’s prowess, arriving here was not an easy feat.
Zhang Chen then turned his gaze towards Chen Sanliang, who at this time stood before the blood pool, his eyes fixed on the pool water, a trace of hesitation in his eyes, he gritted his teeth: "The situation has come to this, there’s no other choice! I shall also use the pool water to cultivate that Celestial Demon Transformation, transform into a pure Demon Race. Since I’ve already chosen to side with the Demon Race, there’s no reason for regrets."
With these words, Chen Sanliang leapt into the pool water.
Zhang Chen watched Chen Sanliang’s actions, his eyes revealing a ripple of emotion, then he smiled wryly and shook his head; he was in no position to blame Chen Sanliang.
However, he felt a bit sorry for Chen Sanliang’s talent, the scholar who would rather starve than eat food offered with disdain, constantly lingered in front of him, but the scholar had long vanished never to return.
"Everyone has their path, I just need to manage my own," Zhang Chen murmured to himself.
Another two days passed before martial world people arrived.
Over those two days, the Ba Snake’s body had now shrunk to only six miles in size, having dwindled by a whole circle.
The Essence, Qi, and Spirit within, a portion was dissipated between Heaven and Earth, probably about fifty to sixty percent, the rest absorbed by Zhang Chen, becoming his Blood Control Technique’s experience, around forty to fifty percent, and as for those beasts’ absorbed blood, it was negligible.
At this time, martial world people finally arrived, and the first familiar face to show was Zhang Chen’s old acquaintance: Li Donglai.
Little Fatty sneaked around, his gaze roving everywhere, upon arriving at the Ba Snake, his sight skimmed over the scales, and the next moment his hands turned into Steel Bones, grabbing the scales attempting to pull them out, but after a few moments of effort, he could only let go with a face full of helplessness, then turned his head to glance around, circling the nearby mountains, and saw the cave formed from Ba Snake’s nostrils, a cave five to six meters high, Little Fatty hesitated briefly, then simply crawled in.
Soon after Little Fatty entered, a chilling breeze swept through the air, and Wu Ming’er unexpectedly appeared on the scene. His eyes surveyed the Ba Snake’s body, glanced at the scales, and did not attempt to move them, instead opting for the same approach as Little Fatty, his body transforming into a visible chill, following Ba Snake’s mouth and crawling in.
"Transforming into chill? Wu Ming’er, what a skill, seems like he has recently benefited, and his Bloodline Power has increased again." Zhang Chen thought to himself: "These two are each possessed of great fortune, otherwise, they wouldn’t have arrived here ahead of others."
Ba Snake’s body’s hardness was absolutely unbearable for everyone, the two’s choice was indeed wise.
Zhang Chen had no intention to greet the two, instead continued sitting composedly, steadily absorbing the Ba Snake’s blood.
Without a doubt, both Wu Ming’er and Li Donglai were born as commoners yet awakened Bloodline Power; they are in this era the epitome of Heaven’s favored ones.
With great fortunes, they were destined to arrive in time to share the Creation—it was fate’s decree.
