Chapter 244 – Demonic Beast Dragon-Snake (1/2)

Chapter 244 - Demonic Beast Dragon-Snake

Although he had heard from Tian Ye and those from the Void Sect say the whole journey would take around two months, Lei Yu’s speed should be faster than them by a bit. But even though he was a bit faster, Lei Yu still couldn’t calculate how far the distance was since he had never been here before.

In the Chaotic Star Sea, there were numerous planets floating about. Some were filled with lava, and some were filled with lightning. There were even some planets that had nothing but water. While in the midst of this all-encompassing great universe, Lei Yu felt that it had greatly helped with his comprehension of the Thirty-six Lunar Star technique. This type of comprehension would only come about when one experiences it themselves.

In this state of flight, a full two days had passed yet Lei Yu hadn’t stopped once. The was because while flying, the spiritual energy he was constantly absorbing had been purified by the Spiritual Bracelet of Frost. Even though the depletion of internal energy was a bit more than what he replenishes, the difference was so minute that it allowed Lei Yu to not rest at all.

Even so, it’s unfortunate that the path he was taking compared to the path Yuan Xiu and Yuan Li were taking were completely different. Bringing along Ai Er and Nuo Hu, those two were on a path where nothing dangerous would appear on it.

Just as Lei Yu was feeling everything was very peaceful and wasn’t as dangerous as Tian Ye had mentioned, he heard a roar that shook the heavens. Lei Yu immediately stopped flying and floated within the void to see what was going on.

“A dragon! No, a snake!” Lei Yu was shocked. Even though he was looking at a head that he had the impression of being a dragon, Lei Yu continued observing and did not find any so-called dragon claws. Its whole body was a single line without any protruding limbs, that’s why he changed his mind and called it a snake. But this snake’s head was exactly the same as a dragon’s head he had seen in books before - it had a beard, sharp fangs in its mouth, and two horns that looked like it shouldn’t belong to it.

The snake’s whole body was white and it was coiled around a meteorite. Its eyes didn’t blink while staring at Lei Yu. Its snake tongue kept flickering out of its mouth making “hissing” noises that would give one’s heart the chills.

Lei Yu didn’t dare to be careless since this snake’s body was huge. Looking at it coiled around the big meteorite, its body length would definitely not be less than 30 meters to upwards of 50 meters. And one has to add that humongous head as well!

After probing with his senses, Lei Yu knew that this snake was stronger than him. As to how much stronger it was, Lei Yu couldn’t estimate because it didn’t release its full aura yet.

At this moment, the snake suddenly spouted human words: “Leave your Gold Core behind so that I can eat it!”

Lei Yu lightly breathed out before saying: “Then you want me to die?” After saying that, Lei Yu narrowed his eyes. He never thought the first danger he encounters would be such a monster. What should he do now?

The huge snake then said: “Even if you are not swallowed by I, the Dragon-Snake; the ghostly thing in the east will not let you go either. Since you have to die no matter what, you might as well end your life here!”

“Dragon-Snake? No wonder you have such a long body!” Lei Yu finally understood why it had a dragon’s head and a snake’s body.

The Dragon-Snake’s body trembled once, and a white light flashed. Its body started shrinking and it became smaller and smaller.

This Dragon-Snake had actually transformed into a human’s form! He was wearing a white gown, had long white hair, and his face was quite handsome. Except there were still two horns sticking out of his head that it couldn’t get rid of.

Lei Yu sucked in a cool breath. Such a huge monster could actually reduce its body to such a degree and even change into a human’s form… could this be the so called demonic beast?

Lei Yu’s speculation was spot on. When beasts cultivate to a certain extent such as reaching the Nascent Soul stage, they can turn into a human’s form. They use the infant’s form of their Nascent Soul to transform their outer appearance to match the soul. As for this Dragon-Snake, it had indeed reached the early Nascent Soul stage.
