The path to immortality through demonic cultivation begins with devouring snakes to become immortals

The ant king's flesh and blood entered Li Xiaobai's stomach, and the abundant energy from the flesh and blood nourished his body. In addition, the flesh-eating flowers he had previously devoured were also exerting their power.

Li Xiaobai's cultivation aura began to increase little by little, and at the same time, the moon-white light emanating from his body became even more dazzling.

[The man-eating ant successfully devoured the flesh; Apocalypse Points +150.]

When the system notification sounded again, the entire Ant King had already been eaten by Li Xiaobai, leaving only an empty shell.

When he crawled out of his shell with his round belly, he found that the ants had already begun to dismantle the ant queen's shell and carry it into the nest.

Li Xiaobai remained silent for a moment, glanced again at the dismembered remains of the ant king, and then crawled away into the distance without saying a word.

This is yet another one that goes against the habits of snakes. Li Xiaobai likes to travel during the day and find a place to rest at night.

The main reason was that basking in the moonlight was very helpful to him, and he felt more comfortable.

According to the rough data provided by the system, there are two points in the transformation process for demons. Starting from the third tier, they can refine the transverse bone in their throat to speak human language, and they can also obtain a human body through transformation.

Li Xiaobai pondered as he climbed.

To be honest, he adapted to, but was forced to adapt to, this cruel, beastly mode.

His soul truly rejected this primitive, bloodthirsty life, and longed for the civilization that was fully protected by law.

But he knew he couldn't go back. So he could only move closer and closer to a better place until he arrived.

"Humans are the most intelligent of all beings. Although their lifespan is short, their meridians, blood, and bones are naturally suited for cultivation, and their intelligence far surpasses that of ordinary creatures. This is why most demons transform into human form."

"Generally speaking, one can choose to transform into human form at the third rank, unless it's a demon with an exceptionally strong bloodline. In any case, transformation is a must."

Li Xiaobai raised his eyes and looked at the setting sun in the distance. A deep loneliness welled up in his big eyes.

"I suppose that if we venture deeper into the area, we'll eventually find someone to talk to."

…………

Without a doubt! There is no one on this side of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and it would be difficult for Li Xiaobai to even climb out of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

However, it is undeniable that the deeper one goes into the demon race's territory, the more powerful the things they encounter become.

Li Xiaobai currently doesn't have enough Awakening Points to improve any of his abilities, but as his bloodline evolves, his physique isn't growing, but his appetite, or rather, his energy needs, are increasing.

His only way to replenish his energy is by devouring the essence of other demonic beasts' flesh and blood or spiritual herbs.

Not long ago, Li Xiaobai ate such a huge ant and a second-tier meat-shaped flower, but he is still starving.

"System, are you secretly pocketing my points as a commission, or secretly absorbing my power?"

In a patch of withered grass, Li Xiaobai was so hungry that his belly turned white.

That shouldn't be! That ant king! It was worth hundreds of them, and it ate them all. How could it get hungry so quickly?

[Please do not slander the Apocalypse System. It is a fully functional system with strict code integrity, and will absolutely not deduct a single penny from what you have earned.]

"real?"

Li Xiaobai tilted his head in confusion.

It's true!

[The host is currently in a growth stage, and it is an undeniable fact that relying solely on the essence of flesh and blood without the aid of spirit stones will easily lead to hunger.]

Li Xiaobai tilted his head again.

Why is it saying so much? Is it feeling guilty?

But... as a system, it can't really take away his things, can it? This thing is tied to my life!

The sun was almost completely setting when a chubby little snake fell from a tree branch and landed on the ground with a "plop".

Isn't that Li Xiaobai?

Little White, who had already found the perfect angle to bask in the moonlight, is now starving and can't stand it anymore.

Right now, the number of living beings around is not as large as at the outermost edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and many of them have cultivation levels above Li Xiaobai's.

After all, they were beings that had become demons. Although they were not very intelligent, they were quite old. How could they be like Li Xiaobai, a little snake who was not even a year old?

Li Xiaobai originally thought he could endure going hungry for one night; in his previous life, he was the kind of person who could spend five yuan for three days!

Who would have thought... I really overestimated myself.

After climbing down from the tree, Li Xiaobai unleashed his spiritual senses, comparable to those of a peak Qi Refining cultivator, to search for prey.

I can't mess with this one, I can't beat that one, but this one... ugh! He looks fierce!

These places have been marked as territories by those demonic beasts, so they are easy to find if you go by the blocks! In fact, if they could detect Li Xiaobai's aura, a snake at the mid-stage of the first rank would have already started a fight by crossing the territories of other demonic beasts.

"Ai?!"

Li Xiaobai suddenly stood up.

"System! System!!"

[Ding~ Red-bellied Chicken, a sixth-grade demon bloodline, currently at the late stage of the first tier. Hunting it will grant you +400 Apocalypse Points.]

[Ding~ Blood Crown Grass, a top-grade spiritual herb. Consuming it will grant you +200 Apocalypse Points.]

Since the last time, the system has been able to recognize these things, so the picture album is probably complete now.

Li Xiaobai immediately wagged his little tail and crawled towards the Red-bellied Chicken's territory. You, a late-stage Tier 1 chicken, occupy such a large territory, how can you possibly guard the spiritual medicine! Is this appropriate?

It's a pity it's a rooster; it would be great if it had eggs...

The ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, and Li Xiaobai moved through them with only a slight rustling sound.

At this moment, the red-bellied pheasant lay in its nest, carefully protecting the blood-crowned grass beside it.

Why could a late-stage Tier 1 monster hold onto the elixir? Firstly, Blood Crown Grass isn't particularly attractive to most monsters.

Secondly, its reckless and aggressive nature, coupled with its venomous beak, has made this red-bellied chicken a formidable character, a renowned young man in the surrounding area, the king of chickens! The tyrant among chickens!

In short... Chicken King!

"Coo coo?"

Suddenly, the red-bellied chicken turned its red face to the side and asked, "What is that?"

A fat, chubby worm crawled out from under the dead leaves and kept shaking.

The red-bellied chicken's eyes lit up instantly! Had it been provoking Master Chicken all along?!

I was just about to go to bed, but then some snacks were delivered to my door?

Thank you, nature, for your bounty!

Without any hesitation, this arrogant creature charged straight at the insect.

The sharp beak, gleaming with an eerie blue light in the dim light, produced a series of chilling whistling sounds as it cut through the air!

But in the blink of an eye, just as the red-bellied chicken was about to peck at the "worm," the originally soft and tender "worm" suddenly emitted a metallic luster and slapped hard against the chicken's bright red face.

Almost simultaneously, Li Xiaobai's round head burst out of the leaves on the other side, delivering a rocket-like headbutt! It slammed hard into the Red-bellied Chicken's neck.

*Smack!*

"Ooh ooh ooh~ Ouch~"
