When Sky-Devouring Snake heard Qingfeng Li’s command, its body moved like a sharp arrow towards the canyon.
When the self cultivators saw Qingfeng Li, they moved out of his way. As they had personally seen Qingfeng Li’s strength in the Demonic Tree Forest and grew to fear him as a result.
Sky-Devouring Snake was extremely fast, zigzagging through the jagged rocks. It arrived within the canyon shortly before being attacked by a few dozen black snakes.
Although they were all of the snake species, the black poisonous snakes still attacked Sky-Devouring Snake as if it was their arch nemesis.
A murderous look appeared in the eyes of Sky-Devouring Snake as it released its Snake Ancestor Scent, attempting to suppress the black snakes. However, the black snakes were not afraid of Sky-Devouring Snake’s snake ancestor scent and charged towards it relentlessly.
As Qingfeng Li saw the scene unfold, his facial expression soured as surprise appeared in his eyes. He asked Black Puppy, “Black Puppy, what’s happening? Sky-Devouring Snake is the ancestor of snakes, but why isn’t it working?”
The black puppy shook his head before answering, “This is the Crimson Fire Continent, a high-tier planet. It is different than Earth, as in it has way more species of snakes. Sky-Devouring Snake is able to suppress snake species on earth but not the ones on the Crimson Fire Continent, unless it reaches saint level.”
Qingfeng Li nodded having learned the reason. However, he was still extremely confident in Sky-Devouring Snake, believing that the black snakes were no match for it.
Sky-Devouring Snake had also discovered that his scent had no effect on the black snakes. It opened its mouth and spit out a black vortex that could devour. Immediately, it had sucked the dozens of snakes into its mouth.
Soon, the dozens of snakes had all been converted into energy for Sky-Devouring Snake.
When the self cultivators everywhere had seen the scene unfold, their facial expressions changed as they backed off as they discussed the scene.
“This tiny snake is too strong.”
“Didn’t you notice that the black snake is a battle beast alongside Qingfeng Li?”
“That’s right, seeing how strong Qingfeng Li is, his battle beast must be too.”
The self cultivators looked at Sky-Devouring Snake and Qingfeng Li with fear in their eyes.
Qingfeng Li held Xue Lin’s tiny hand and said, “Come on, let’s go.”
Sky-Devouring Snake led the charge in the canyon and spat out black vortexes endlessly, devouring the black snakes and converting them into its own energy. Nothing could stop its path.
Qingfeng Li and others followed closely behind. After a while, the group had left the canyon.
Due to Sky-Devouring Snake killing most of the snakes, the self cultivators were all able to follow behind Qingfeng Li. Some of their looks towards Qingfeng Li changed to gratitude as opposed to fear from before.
Suddenly, Sky-Devouring Snake stopped in its path as its expression became more serious, as if it was sensing something in the air.
Qingfeng Li walked beside it and asked, “What’s wrong? Why did you stop?”
Sky-Devouring Snake shook its head and answered, “Although I killed those snakes, they were only normal snakes and were weak. There is definitely a snake emperor in the mysterious sun realm.”
Qingfeng Li nodded and answered, “So, you are saying that the real snake monarch has not appeared yet and is lurking ahead.”
Sky-Devouring Snake shook its head and answered, “It’s not lurking ahead but it is surrounding us. It already has us surrounded.”
Qingfeng Li frowned and used his penetrating vision. Golden light surrounded his eyes and carved scripts in the air, scanning the void.
Within the next moment, Qingfeng Li’s facial expression had changed as he discovered large amounts of snakes all around him. They were different colors than the snake in the canyon. They were all crimson red, not black.
The number of snakes in the swarm was in the tens of thousands.
Some were hidden beneath the earth and some were hidden in the void. They were all surrounding Qingfeng Li, looking as if it could attack any moment.
Towards the snake swarm, Qingfeng Li was not too worried since he could now see their presence.
Qingfeng Li was really worried about the swarm of snakes in the void. They were named void snakes and could move throughout the void freely. They could ambush self cultivators from the void and catch them off guard. Any prey they set their eyes on would lead to a violent death.
Qingfeng Li glanced at Sky-Devouring Snake and Black Puppy before saying, “You two are responsible for protecting Xue Lin. As for me, I’ll enter the void to kill this swarm of red snakes.”
Sky-Devouring Snake nodded. As the ancestor of snake type demonic beasts, it could feel the presence of the swarm in the void. It knew that it would not be strong enough, but Qingfeng Li could be strong enough to defeat them.
Qingfeng Li used the void talisman script to lock down the location of the swarm before breaking the void with his right hand in order to enter into the void.
After entering the void, Qingfeng Li was immediately greeted with a few thousand red, poisonous snakes. They were much longer than the black snakes, ranging up to half a meter long. Red, shiny scales covered their bodies, emitting a ghastly glow. The snakes hissed at each other, staring down Qingfeng Li with their cold eyes. They looked as if they could attack at any moment.
“Tree Ring Spirit Storm.”
Qingfeng Li used a spiritual secret technique he had learned a while ago. He had learned this technique when he had refined the Tree Monarch’s Growth-Ring.
Qingfeng Li opened his mouth as he had formed a giant tornado from within his mind-space. It formed a gigantic tree ring with at least a few hundred rings with spirit energy.
The tree rings surrounded the air, ripping it open while charging forwards quickly, engulfing the thousands of red snakes within moments.
The red snakes screeched in the void as their souls were instantly ripped apart by the spirit tree rings.
Qingfeng Li waved his hand and formed a palm seven hundred foot with vital essence. He forcefully slapped down and rendered the swarm of snakes into a mist of blood, dissipating them into the air.
Finally, Qingfeng Li used his mind and exited the void, arriving back to reality.
As soon as he returned, his facial expression became bitter as he had discovered a few thousand red snakes. They hissed as they bit towards Xue Lin and the others.
