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

The system is completely unreliable! Li Xiaobai struggled to raise his upper body, revealing his small teeth, and hissed in an attempt to scare away the black snake opposite him.

Momentum is very important, you know!

Then the giant black snake opposite also raised its body, which was much larger than Li Xiaobai's, and emitted an even more piercing hissing sound.

Li Xiaobai immediately gave in.

Almost without hesitation, it turned its tail and ran away! There should still be the scent of the mother snake at the cave entrance. The mother snake couldn't be any worse than this one; she probably wouldn't dare to go into the cave.

Even if it chases, the snake is probably no match for the little female monkey. Don't those two reincarnated big shots have any way to subdue it?!

Playing at home, three against one! The advantage is in our own backyard!!

But reality is so harsh; before even two breaths had passed, Li Xiaobai felt a sharp pain at the tip of his tail! The large black snake had bitten his tail.

This thing is incredibly fast?!

The intense pain, combined with an instinctive reaction, caused a ruthless glint to appear in Li Xiaobai's round eyes. He suddenly turned his head, and his two small baby teeth pierced through the scales at the seven-inch mark of the large black snake.

The big black snake was no pushover either; in almost an instant, the two snakes, one large and one small, were tightly intertwined.

Its strength was so great that Li Xiaobai felt as if all the bones in his body were about to be broken. The snake bit his tail and wouldn't let go, and the tip of his tail was in excruciating pain.

Moreover, he was short, so he could only desperately coil around the black snake's vital spot. The harder he tried, the more it hurt. His scales, which were not yet fully hardened, kept breaking apart, and blood gushed out from the gaps in the broken scales.

In his past life, the fear of dying once again enveloped Li Xiaobai.

"I...I can't just die like this...I haven't even started cultivating yet, I can't die..."

Li Xiaobai bit down hard on the big black snake's seven-inch spot, the foul-smelling blood pouring into his mouth. He swallowed it in big gulps, tears welling up in his two big eyes, which were filled with resentment and stubbornness.

"I... Li Xiaobai! I am a descendant of the Shangqing School!!"

I don't know where the strength came from! Li Xiaobai's little short tail was actually pulled out of the snake's mouth! Scales and blood splattered everywhere!

The large black snake, which was about to bite Li Xiaobai again and tighten its grip, suddenly felt a sharp pain in its seven-inch spot before it could even put its mouth down! The entire snake felt numb.

A look of human-like terror appeared in the black snake's eyes. This little thing... is poisonous!

It's a poisonous creature with a round head and a pink tongue! How could it be poisonous?

The large black snake, of course, didn't understand basic principles like "excessive blood loss" and "suffocation," and it couldn't comprehend why a snake would suck blood...

They just thought they had misjudged it; such a small thing was actually poisonous.

The burly body slowly slumped down, and with the pressure suddenly reduced, Li Xiaobai still bit the big black snake desperately.

My body was in excruciating pain, but I dared not relax my strength at all.

until...

[Ding~ Host detected killing Blackrock Serpent, Apocalypse Points +100.]

[Congratulations, host, on achieving the first kill by defeating a stronger opponent. You are rewarded with 100 Apocalypse Points.]

Upon hearing this sound, Li Xiaobai went limp and lay flat on his back with his white belly on the ground.

"This system may be utterly incompetent, but it's quite generous with its rewards."

He was in real pain; many of his scales were broken and he was still bleeding, especially the tip of his tail, where only a few scales were left to hold him up.

Isn't that Little Li with the bald tail?

"panel."

【Ding~】

【Name】Li Xiaobai

[Bloodline] Brocade Flower Snake +

[Technique] Upper Clear Dragon Technique (Beginner) +

[Cultivation Level] None+

Lifespan: 4 years

[Apocalypse Point] 300

[World] Divine Continent (Mortal)

After glancing at his own panel, Li Xiaobai stood up, a string of fruit dangling from his mouth, and the large black snake's corpse coiled around his tail as he began to crawl towards the cave.

He was outside, and if the smell of blood attracted anything else, he really couldn't stand it.

"The plus sign should mean that I can use Apocalypse Points to improve my abilities; it can even improve my cultivation techniques."

Li Xiaobai crawled while thinking. Thinking is a basic skill for an old office worker, and it's definitely not to relieve the pain in his body.

"Completing missions and eliminating opponents will earn you Apocalypse Points, plus my incredibly powerful inheritance and cultivation techniques."

"My bag is awesome!" Li Xiaobai couldn't wait any longer.

In his past life, he worked hard his whole life, but he never even got to live a life of luxury.

There was no other way. He was a child his grandparents had taken in. He was able to work and study to get into a junior college and then safely send his grandparents off. He felt that he had already accomplished a great deal.

But life is different. Even if he's not human, he's content to believe that his starting point is higher than that of many others!

He wanted to become stronger, to survive, and to live a better life—that was all.

However… Li Xiaobai glanced back at the corpse of the large black snake, which had already begun to attract flies.

"System, why does it smell so bad?"

Snakes are generally very smelly.

"Hmm?" Li Xiaobai subconsciously sniffed himself. After the bleeding stopped, there was only a faint smell of blood, and even more of a fresh mountain scent.

And those two in the nest, they don't smell bad either.

"Then why don't we smell bad? And my sense of smell, taste, and vision are no different from when I was a human. Don't snakes rely on infrared perception?"

[Ding~ The host has not yet developed the relevant functions of this system and cannot provide assistance to the host.]

"Pah! A defective product!"

[Self-destruct warning.]

Li Xiaobai: "???"

Damn it, what is this thing!

A hint of resentment appeared on the round, chubby snake face. Dragging his tired body, Li Xiaobai finally crawled back into the snake hole.

You know what! This place is really reassuring for snakes.

Just as Li Xiaobai dragged the fruit skewers and the big black snake in, he turned around and saw two snake faces, one black and one white, almost touching the tip of his nose.

Empress Su Changge, Demon Lord... Li Wuyai!

"Interesting, haha, very interesting!"

Li Wuyai's arrogant "voice" made Li Xiaobai's head throb! That was the voice of a soul! If they hadn't deliberately suppressed it, the mere sound of their souls would have been enough to kill him!

"This flower is surprisingly intelligent? Did you notice anything unusual about it?"

Su Changge also moved closer.

Li Xiaobai instinctively stepped back.

In just over half a day, the two snakes, one black and one white, had grown considerably larger and were no longer as thin as they had been at the beginning. Although they were both snakes, Li Xiaobai felt that they were more handsome than him.

Looking at his own body, which was battered and looked like a tattered rope, Li Xiaobai felt unbalanced again.

"There's nothing unusual about it; it's just a small snake with some Dao roots." Su Changge's cool voice rang out: "However, its intelligence seems to be quite high."

Having just escaped a life-threatening situation, Li Xiaobai was surrounded and studied by two snakes, one black and one white.

Li Xiaobai: "..."

"Alright." After watching for a short while, Li Wuyai lost interest in Li Xiaobai.

"He was fortunate enough to be born at the same time as the original body and benefited from some of its luck. He is more intelligent and can kill an ordinary mortal snake, which is not surprising."

As he spoke, Li Wuyai turned around and bit the black snake's corpse. Although he was not as big as the black snake, he swallowed the snake's corpse in no time.

Su Changge gave Li Wuyai a disdainful look.

This old devil rarely talks so much, but he's just as greedy as ever!

She herself began to eat the fruits that Li Xiaobai brought back. Although she had already guided Qi into her body, more blood or food would still be beneficial to them at this point.

As for this flower?

Su Changge glanced at Li Xiaobai again.

If he proves capable, it would be no trouble at all to mentor him.

If he can't amount to anything, how long he lives and how he lives is up to fate.

To themselves and the Demon Lord, this little fellow was nothing more than a passerby in the long course of time.

But the two powerful beings were unaware that the so-called passerby had found a corner, curled up in a ball, and while examining his spoils, was inwardly offering heartfelt blessings to their parents and ancestors…

"I kindly brought you food, not expecting any gratitude in return like some cultivation technique or inheritance, right? And I certainly don't expect you to protect me... um."

"How come they didn't even say a kind word? How come they ate it all..."
