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

Li Xiaobai: "!!!!"

It's one thing for them to steal my eggshells and eat them, but now they want to eat me too?!

"Li Wuyai, how dare you!"

Su Changge quickly raised her front body, and an extremely chilling aura emanated from her snow-white snake body.

"Do you know that our cultivation is gone, and we are now merely mortal beasts? You will pay for the karma of devouring our own blood relatives with your life! Do you intend to kill me as well?!"

You know what! That kind of aura really stunned Li Wuyai.

Seeing that he had given up the idea, Su Changge's snake body continued to undulate.

"Don't be angry, I was just saying." Li Wuyai flicked his tail: "Although I am a demonic cultivator, have you ever heard of me taking an innocent life?"

Hearing him say that, Su Changge rolled her eyes and didn't take it to heart.

Having fallen to this state, having an acquaintance, someone who was once part of the united front of humanity, offers some solace.

Although this acquaintance is despicable, arrogant, stingy, hypocritical, ignorant, greedy, lazy, unorthodox, hypocritical, and has a notorious reputation...

But he does have his advantages, such as... well, he's an acquaintance.

However, when Empress Changge's gaze fell on Li Xiaobai again, she was also taken aback.

This was the last one to hatch.

When it first emerged, before it had regained its memory, she and Li Wuyai acted solely on instinct and snatched all the eggshells from the little flower snake.

It's good that Li Xiaobai wasn't eaten along with them.

Because it never ate any eggshells, this flower has always been the smallest and thinnest, but now how come it has grown so fat?

You've got extra fat on your lower abdomen?!

"Actually... if I refine my blood relatives, I can recover my human form faster."

Li Wuyai licked his lips.

He's starving!

Li Xiaobai glanced at the little black snake but ignored it.

"So what if you were awesome in your past life? You're still just like me in this life. Even if you were awesome in your past life, were you as awesome as me, Li Xiaobai? Try working on an assembly line for a month and see what happens!"

Su Changge didn't bother to pay any attention to Li Wuyai.

She knew Li Wuyai all too well; after all, they were rivals who had been openly and covertly fighting for thousands of years, and neither of them were willing to submit to the other.

This person is just talking big.

Although he is a demonic cultivator, he would never harm his own siblings.

"Fine, spare its life for now. When it has completed its cultivation, it can serve as my chariot mount."

Having been rebuffed, Li Wuyai laboriously crawled to the side and curled up, as strands of spiritual energy began to flow into his body.

Su Changge was the same.

They... were once at the top! As long as they can draw qi into their bodies, they don't have to worry about starving to death.

Moreover… their souls are too powerful.

Now that the soul has awakened, if one does not cultivate some spiritual power, even if the physical body has decent aptitude, there will eventually come a day when it will be unable to bear the soul.

Moreover, they are remnant souls, and at least for now, if they lose the protection of their physical bodies, they will dissipate.

The cave became completely quiet.

Li Xiaobai also relaxed. Unlike ordinary snakes, he simply rolled over and lay on his back, completely still.

"My brother is the Demon Lord of the Upper Realm, my sister is the Empress of the Upper Realm, and I... I'm just a cow or horse from another world that got run over by a dump truck driver..."

He glanced at the two small snakes meditating with their eyes closed, and a sense of disappointment welled up inside him! Although he had the aptitude for cultivation, he... had no idea how to cultivate at all.

[Ding~ Random task issued.]

[Please, host, fend for yourself and earn the right to survive.]

[Task Rewards: 1 random cultivation technique; 100 Awakening Points]

Li Xiaobai: "!!"

"System! I love you to death!"

Li Xiaobai thought to himself, "Just when I'm sleepy, my pillow arrives! And when I'm hot, my inflatable doll is delivered right to my door!"

What he lacks most right now is cultivation techniques! Not to mention, he also has Heavenly Revelation Points.

Even someone with a brilliant mind could figure it out: Apocalypse Points are definitely the main currency of this system, of paramount importance!

Thinking about it, Li Xiaobai stood up abruptly.

With a threefold increase in physical strength, plus the fact that he is, after all, a snake, a predator!

I'll just wander around the neighborhood, maybe even lick some ants to eat, just to survive.

As if he had made up his mind, Li Xiaobai successfully crawled out of the hole, his big, watery eyes filled with curiosity about the world.

The moment Li Xiaobai poked his head out and instinctively raised it, a primal aura that shook even the snake's soul trembled was immediately felt!

As far as the eye can see, there are endless mountains.

In the distance, one can see giant birds spreading their wings, which blot out the sky, soaring through the heavens, while unprecedented roars of beasts echo through the mountains.

Li Xiaobai admitted that he had given in.

This was a world that shattered his worldview! Seeing it with his own eyes was far more shocking than consulting the information provided by the system.

He crouched down, slowly exploring with his cunning eyes. Although his physique had tripled, he was still a young snake and couldn't crawl too far.

However… his senses were stronger than when he was human. He had only crawled less than fifty feet when he smelled a sweet, cloying scent.

It tastes like berries that have rotted and fermented.

Following the scent, it slowly surged forward, its short tail poised to escape at any moment.

Finally! A massive tree canopy came into view. It was a tree growing on the mountainside, covered with yellow and red fruits, fruits that Li Xiaobai had never seen before.

However, it smells exceptionally sweet.

Monkeys with four ears and two arms that are longer than their height can be seen wandering around in the tree canopy. When they pick fruit, some inevitably fall down.

Li Xiaobai... is now only fit to eat what's fallen on the ground.

"system?"

【Ding~】

"What breed of monkey is this?"

[The host has not activated this function yet, and we are unable to provide assistance to the host.]

Li Xiaobai tilted his head in confusion: "You don't even recognize the animals here? Are you a defective product?"

[Apocalypse is a fully functional system, widely praised by users. The host must refrain from criticizing the system, otherwise it will self-destruct, perishing together with the host.]

Li Xiaobai: "..."

"Do you think I can beat this kind of monkey?"

【Ding~】

Wow! You can definitely beat them! With your physique and soul strengthened three times over, even an adult monkey like that couldn't withstand your aura!

Li Xiaobai is confident!

However, it still cautiously wriggled its short tail to the tree to eat fruit.

"If monkeys can eat this, then we can too, right? Let's make do with some fruit for now, and get some protein when we're more successful."

"Besides, these monkeys are obviously more aggressive in the trees, so they probably won't come down."

Li Xiaobai swallowed the fruit in large gulps.

The fruit entered his stomach, and the abundant sugars began to exert their effects! Li Xiaobai truly felt like he had come back to life!

But... Li Xiaobai hadn't realized that he was a sly snake, very colorful and vibrant.

This color is particularly eye-catching in nature in most cases.

The monkeys in the tree quickly noticed Li Xiaobai and began making squeaking noises to scare him away, as if to say:

"Damn it!"

"This tree is our territory! Didn't you smell our pee?! You snake, you don't eat meat but eat fruit, and you're a spotted snake, and a young one at that! You dare to come here and freeload?!"

But Li Xiaobai said he couldn't hear, so how could he come down to fight snakes?

This fruit...it's so delicious! Every bite is bursting with sugar, it's so satisfying!

While eating, Li Xiaobai also picked up a twig and strung many fruits onto it.

The biggest difference between humans and animals is the use of tools!

Then… a monkey fell from the tree.

This is a small female monkey that looks like it hasn't reached adulthood yet.

Seeing that Li Xiaobai ignored her, the monkey was so angry that she pounded her chest! She charged straight at Li Xiaobai! Her posture was as if she wanted to tear Li Xiaobai in two!

"Get lost!" Seeing the monkey pounce, Li Xiaobai used the tip of his tail to push and rammed it!

"I'm full, and I didn't want to argue with you, but you're getting stubborn."

"You dare to pounce on me even though you can't beat me! Aren't you afraid I'm poisonous?! You're really hot-tempered!"

Then... this rocket-shaped headbutt landed, and the little female monkey was completely unharmed, while Li Xiaobai himself was bounced far away.

At the same time, the little female monkey also hit its tail.

He stared at the little female monkey in disbelief, his snake mouth wide open, its pink tongue drooping down.

"This is fucking..."

"Refund! The system misled me!!"

Without a word, Li Xiaobai grabbed the branch with the fruit on it and dashed off! The little female monkey chased after him.

"Didn't you fucking say they couldn't even withstand my aura?!" Li Xiaobai roared inwardly.

Its tail looks like it's been hit and is swollen; it hurts terribly.

It hurt when I fell! Several scales fell off.

The system's voice rang out in my mind at just the right moment.

I'm sorry, I made a mistake last time. Please don't be angry.

[This time I'll give you the most accurate, direct, and straightforward answer: This is a four-eared ape, a highly territorial primate beast that is agile and powerful. Do you need me to give you more information about the four-eared ape?]
