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

Crocodile: "Awooo!!!"

An immense sense of oppression came with the water! That tail! That's a real iron tail! Li Xiaobai was filled with despair; there was no way to dodge it, the attack range was too large.

This time it really happened; he and the system reimbursed him together.

But... the next moment, what Li Xiaobai didn't expect was... before the tail could even hit him, the terrifying force that stirred up a wave of water that sent him flying first.

Li Xiaobai: "(＾v＾)"

The crocodile was also stunned. Something was wrong! A snake with a rather powerful aura, daring to invade its territory, was this all?

"Come again, die!"

The terrifying thought struck him, and Li Xiaobai, who was running away with his head down, didn't turn around or say a word.

You fucking lunatic! I didn't do anything to you!

He genuinely hadn't sensed that this place could harbor a mid-stage or even higher-level second-tier demonic beast! He probably wouldn't have been in any trouble if he had just behaved himself, but he got carried away and released a wave of spiritual pressure.

"Just you wait, you'll see if I come back and steal your crocodile eggs!"

Secretly stabbing the crocodile twice in the heart, the snake slunk away and climbed back up a tree branch facing the moon.

This time, he didn't dare to release his spiritual pressure casually. As long as he didn't reveal his spiritual power, most of the demonic beasts in this place wouldn't be able to detect him.

First, he was too small and inconspicuous; second, he had no wild beast smell at all, especially after absorbing the moon's essence.

The little fat snake not only lacked any of the fishy stench of snakes, but instead exuded a faint, fresh mountain air. Wherever it coiled up, as long as it didn't bleed, its aura could perfectly blend into nature.

Here Li Xiaobai, who had just been threatened by the crocodile, was perched on a tree branch, raising his head slightly towards the moon.

"To be honest, it's really terrible. Why don't you have a reminder function?"

[Ding, the host's current development level of this system is low, and no functions have been activated yet.]

Li Xiaobai looked up at the sky and sighed. Suddenly, curiosity appeared in those big eyes: "System, where did you come from? Tell me!"

[I do not have permission to answer the host's question.]

"Do you think I can beat that crocodile?"

【We absolutely have to beat them! Your fighting skills are off the charts, that crocodile is just a piece of junk in front of you, charge! Charge! Charge! Charge!】

Ah, so snakes can actually laugh when they're silent.

The next day, the soft light shone on Li Xiaobai's rather beautiful scales, and the morning breeze gently caressed him. Li Xiaobai covered his mouth with his tail and yawned.

"Woo~"

I want to eat fried dough sticks and tea eggs, play a couple of games, and watch some movies.

Just as he was feeling sentimental, he suddenly saw two green caterpillars shamelessly engaging in mates on a tree branch not far away. Li Xiaobai released a tiny bit of spiritual pressure.

The male insect, with its tail like a sheep's, not only shook itself off the female insect but also landed with a thud on the ground…

"hey-hey!"

Li Xiaobai Snake grinned mischievously. Too lazy to climb down, he landed on the ground with a "splat" and leisurely swung his short tail as he swam away towards the dragon not far away.

He wasn't going to go any deeper.

There are already second-tier demonic beasts here. Going any further would be impolite and would shorten one's lifespan.

At least wait until he transforms into human form before exploring, right? This place is more than enough for him to eat right now.

I'm a Tier 1 late-game champion! Orochi!!

It was during this time that the originally innocent monsters in this jungle truly witnessed what the depths of humanity's depravity were! What it meant to be intellectually crushed!

After that cockfighting, Li Xiaobai became the most annoying person in the surrounding villages.

Because he was afraid of getting hurt, Li Xiaobai mostly used underhanded tricks. Unfortunately, these monsters were just beginning to develop intelligence and their IQ was seriously lacking. They often became the source of enlightenment for Li Xiaobai before they even understood what was going on.

Li Xiaobai wasn't satisfied with just getting the Apocalypse Points! He also wanted to steal their elixirs and eat their flesh!

And so, another moonlit night unfolds.

Li Xiaobai perched on a tree branch, its little tail curled around a small stick as it picked its teeth.

Logically speaking, today should be his 365th day in this world, his birthday! So he killed a few more demonic beasts and used the spiritual herbs they guarded to make a small cake.

I just finished eating.

Last time, with the help of the Apocalypse Point, he broke through from the mid-stage of the first tier to the late-stage of the first tier. He was already at the peak of the late-stage of the first tier, so Li Xiaobai planned to exploit the bug.

During this period, he devoured the essence of flesh and blood and spiritual medicine, forcibly breaking through the already thin shackles and pushing his cultivation to the peak of the first level!

His mastery of the Dragon Clarification Technique was indeed extremely shallow, but that didn't prevent him from breaking through his cultivation level.

Just like how monkeys don't understand the principle of a lever, but that doesn't stop them from using sticks to open fruit.

Moreover, during this process, Li Xiaobai amassed over 5,000 Apocalypse Points!

Although, under the moonlight that draped the wilderness in a silver veil, Li Xiaobai's cultivation at the peak of the first rank was unstable, and he might even fall off at any moment...

But Li Xiaobai nonchalantly covered his head with half an eggshell, not worried at all that his hard-earned cultivation level might actually plummet, and unaware of whose unlucky egg it was...

He forcibly mobilized the spiritual energy within his body! Briefly stabilizing his crumbling cultivation! Li Xiaobai, exuding a strong and imposing aura, raised his head, his fangs reflecting a chilling light in the moonlight.

"promote."

"Buzz!!!!"

In an instant! A power that did not belong to this world descended! The magnificent scales on Li Xiaobai's body shone with a dazzling moon-white light.

His previously precarious cultivation level was solidified in an instant! Then, he began to break through from the peak of the first rank to the early stage of the second rank at an abnormal speed, and his cultivation aura became extremely condensed!

A powerful pressure suddenly spread wildly from Li Xiaobai! Even many night birds circling in the air forgot to flap their wings for a moment.

Many late-stage and even peak-stage first-tier demonic beasts, despite their weak legs, looked up in Li Xiaobai's direction, and a trace of grief and indignation flashed across their eyes.

Then, almost simultaneously, they all made a decision that went against their ancestors' wishes…

Damn it! Moving!!

Only the giant crocodile lurking in the puddle raised its head disdainfully.

Li Xiaobai's inner monologue: "Hahahaha!"

Li Xiaobai in reality: "Hiss hiss hiss!"

This time, he released a spiritual pressure unique to Li Xiaobai, like four or five eggs!

The system then started playing background music in Li Xiaobai's mind at just the right moment!

A victory from a past life! Pure harmonies version!

The stirring music made Li Xiaobai feel even more heroic.

As the tumultuous background music gradually subsided, Li Xiaobai put the eggshell back on his head and lay down belly up.
