Serpent Ancestor

"Canceling the engagement, a waste, Dantian destroyed...

Fine, since this Superior Immortal has inherited your body, I will naturally clear your name. Those who have wronged you, I won't let a single one go!"

Chen Fan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "The injuries are severe. If it weren't for me taking over this body, you'd probably be dead by now. But this won't stop me... Hmm?"

Chen Fan suddenly furrowed his brows.

At this moment, Xu Hei was hiding on the beam, barely breathing, his heartbeat slowed to the minimum.

He had heard the boy's self-talk but couldn't understand a word of it. Just now, Xu Hei felt like he was being watched.

Since that feeling of being watched appeared, the boy had stopped talking, clearly having noticed him!

"Damn! He's onto me!"

Xu Hei's pupils contracted, a strong sense of crisis welled up inside him, his snake scales stood on end. This boy gave him an extremely terrifying feeling!

This is bad! He's definitely going to kill me!"

Xu Hei's scalp tingled, feeling like a thief caught red-handed.

In these times, countless people starved to death on the streets. How precious were two pigs? The Chen Family would never let him off easily.

Moreover, with so many livestock and poultry missing nearby, they would surely suspect him!

It's over, it's over. Xu Hei felt his snake life was bleak, as if he could already see himself being skinned and dismembered, his corpse lying in the street.

And just then, an even more shocking scene unfolded.

The boy's near-death injuries were slowly healing, strands of Spiritual Qi from the heavens and earth were flowing into his shattered Dantian.

Gradually, the Spiritual Qi coiled around, forming the shape of a dragon.

"Haha, who would have thought this Demon Clan treasure, the Demon God Cauldron, would also be reborn with me! Great Void Ancestral Dragon, you miscalculated!"

The boy chuckled inwardly, never once glancing at Xu Hei.

But Xu Hei's mind was on the verge of collapse.

"He's starting to cast a spell, he's starting to cast a spell, he's going to kill me!"

Xu Hei didn't know what the boy was thinking, but the terrifying aura emanating from him was growing stronger and stronger, making Xu Hei's heart pound with fear. He was sure the boy was brewing some spell to kill him!

Xu Hei's eyes widened, his gaze shifting from fear to madness.

In the natural world, it's survival of the fittest—either you die, or I do! He had stolen the boy's pigs, and the boy would surely kill him!

"He's gathering power, he's going to deliver a fatal blow!

It must be, it must be!

If you want to kill me, then I'll have to eat you! I'll have to eat you!"

Xu Hei's eyes turned wild. He couldn't hold back any longer. If he didn't act now, once the boy's injuries healed and his power gathered, it would be his death.

This person had clearly noticed him but pretended not to see, just to avoid alerting him! Secretly gathering power to kill him stealthily—cultivators were all this insidious and ruthless!

This might fool an ordinary snake demon, but not Xu Hei!

Xu Hei's body was like a tightly wound spring, stretched to its limit! In the next moment, he shot out like lightning, rushing down like a gust of wind!

"Ahhh! You forced me!!!"

Xu Hei lunged, opening his blood-red mouth, biting towards Chen Fan, looking deranged.

Chen Fan: "???"

A foul wind blew, and in a flash, Chen Fan was swallowed into Xu Hei's belly.

***

Inside the snake's stomach, Chen Fan was still puzzled. By rights, he had deliberately released some of his immortal aura, which should have scared the opponent away.

However, he didn't panic, nor did he struggle. Instead, he snorted coldly.

"A mere first-level of Spirit Communion demonic beast dares to attack me? Truly courting death!"

His Divine Sense had long detected Xu Hei, but he had only given him a cursory glance, not taking him seriously at all.

Although he was in a young boy's body, the immortal aura and killing intent he exuded were enough to make any low-level demonic beast flee in terror, not daring to approach.

Yet, an exception occurred. This snake demon seemed different.

It didn't matter. Not to mention that Chen Fan had already recovered to the second level of Qi Refining, just with his immortal techniques, he could easily kill this snake demon a hundred times over.

"Boundless Sea!"

Chen Fan raised his hands, and an endless wave of energy erupted like a tsunami, surging out from his palms.

Xu Hei's snake body immediately swelled, ballooning up like an overinflated balloon, getting bigger and bigger!

Greed knows no bounds, and now Xu Hei's body was larger than an elephant. Even with the flexibility of a snake's body, it couldn't withstand such strain.

"Ahhh! I'm going to die!" Xu Hei screamed internally.

He didn't want to die!

He had finally gained sentience after countless reincarnations, having been a chicken, a duck, a fish, and finally becoming Xu Hei. He didn't want to die in vain!

Just for stealing two pigs, he faced the calamity of death. This was the cruel human world! Xu Hei regretted deeply. Had he known, he would never have eaten those pigs.

For the first time in his life, he felt the terror of humans.

"Buzz!" His Demon Core emitted a faint light, a force supporting his physical body, preventing it from bursting quickly.

"Ha!" Chen Fan spat out True Qi, striking Xu Hei's Demon Core. Xu Hei's once hard Demon Core shattered like fragile glass.

With his Demon Core destroyed, the intense pain nearly made Xu Hei faint. His consciousness blurred, his body on the verge of collapse, teetering on the brink of death.

A mere boy could easily kill him. Humans were more terrifying than he had imagined!

"Perfect, some snake meat to replenish my vitality," Chen Fan thought.

Suddenly, a pitch-black small cauldron emerged from his Divine Sense, landing at Xu Hei's Demon Core position, slowly rotating.

"Hmm?" Chen Fan was taken aback. This was the Demon Clan's treasure, the Demon God Cauldron!

Just as he was about to retrieve the Demon God Cauldron, he was shocked to find that his connection with it was severed.

In the next second, an immense and terrifying power erupted from the cauldron, sweeping out, protecting Xu Hei's body and smashing heavily into Chen Fan.

"How is this possible? Why would my Demon God Cauldron help this beast!!!"

Chen Fan let out a tragic scream. In that instant, his physical body shattered, and even his soul was about to be obliterated.

The reversal came too quickly, leaving Chen Fan no time to react. Facing the Demon God Cauldron's attack, he had no power to resist and was completely annihilated!

"No!! I refuse to accept this! How could a Superior Immortal like me... Ah!!"

Amidst his unwilling roars, he self-destructed his soul, vowing to smash into Xu Hei, but was absorbed by the Demon God Cauldron, completely turning into nothingness.

Everything returned to calm. Xu Hei's swollen, near-bursting body gradually recovered, lying like a heap of mud in the pigpen, his snake scales shattered, his meridians severed, barely alive.

"My Demon Core... is gone..." Xu Hei's vision went dark, and he fainted.
