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

“You want me to die for the sake of you? What a beautiful ending for you alone... you should at least give me a reason!” Asked Lei Yu as he suppressed the shock in his heart.

The transformed Dragon-Snake with a human body coldly humphed, “Is there a need to give you a reason in the Chaotic Star Sea? Hasn’t it always been that the weak will be devoured by the strong?”

“Oh? For real? Then I want to ask you: How can you, an early Nascent Soul stage demonic beast be able to survive for so long? Could it be that you have some super special ability or something?”

The Dragon-Snake was obviously very surprised, “You… how did you know that I was at the early Nascent Soul stage?!”

Lei Yu smiled and said: “Before, you released a powerful aura in order to transform into a human, this alone allowed me to probe your strength. I advise you to move aside because not long ago, a cultivator of the early Nascent Soul stage was killed by my hands!”

Lei Yu was trying to use words to shock the monster into retreating, but it seems like the trick wasn’t working.

“That is just too funny! A mere Gold Core newbie can kill a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage? This is the biggest joke in the world!” The Dragon-Snake gave a stare and a solid beam of white light shot at Lei Yu.

With a slight foot movement, Lei Yu shifted the Sky Devouring Sword out of the way and easily dodged it. “What? You aren’t afraid that I’ll rip out your snake bones and take your snake gallbladder?”

“You’re courting death!” The Dragon-Snake was about to rush forward but Lei Yu hurriedly stopped it. He didn’t want to have any unfortunate accidents when he had just entered the depths of the Chaotic Star Sea. It would be a blessing if he could escape this disaster.

“Wait!”

“What else do you want to say?!”

“I know that demonic beast cultivators need to devour other people’s Gold Core or Spiritual Beads in order to improve themselves.” Lei Yu then lightly said: “I want to ask, if I gift you a Gold Core, are you willing to let me pass by?”

“You’re speaking the truth?” Asked the Dragon-Snake. In fact, he was a bit wary since who knows what this person said was true or not. The Dragon-Snake had been entrenched on this meteorite for so long now. Whenever he met someone stronger than him, he would shrink his body to less than an inch in order to avoid being found out. And when he found someone weaker than himself, he would restore his body to its original size as a deterrent effect. If it could really effortlessly get a Gold Core, it would be enough for it to cultivate for quite a long time. Why would it spend so much effort to kill then? In case this person really had some deadly treasure or ability, then it would be too late for regrets.

One must know for beasts to have cultivated to this stage is not an easy feat. They are very concerned with their own lives and would never use it as a gambling chip.

“Of course it’s for real!” Lei Yu knew that beast cultivators had to consume other people’s essence in order to cultivate because he learned it from the Ink Beast. Otherwise, it would never have fought a big battle with the Qilin in order to devour the Spiritual Bead of Longevity.

After saying that, Lei Yu flipped his palm and a round bead shimmering with a golden light appeared in his hand. The power it contained cannot be overlooked; this was the Gold Core of the middle-aged man Lei Yu killed at the Tian Family’s Town. Lei Yu had taken this with him because it contained all the essence of a person at the Gold Core stage. He thought this thing would be useful to himself; perhaps it could even play a large effect to his cultivation. He never expected that today, he would have to gift it away to this monster.

Seeing the Gold Core appear, the snake was overjoyed. It was about to snatch it with its mouth when Lei Yu withdrew his hand.

“What?! You want to go back on your words?!” Said the snake as it glared at Lei Yu.
