When Lin Li saw the huge snake head, he immediately knew that he definitely wasn't facing a descendant of the prehistoric Viper, but the latter itself. Besides, he could clearly sense that the mana coming from the prehistoric Viper was definitely around the Sanctuary-realm, and it was almost similar to the last opponent of the Barbarous Arena.
However, although Lin Li had defeated an opponent that was as strong as the prehistoric Viper in the Barbarous Arena, it was because he had gained a deeper understanding of his opponent's abilities after countless battles. It was Lin Li's first time encountering the prehistoric Viper, and everything he knew about it was from legends. God knew how many discrepancies there were.
