After a month, a strange snake with a long red crown and wings transformed into a massive snake shadow, soaring through the sky. Its tail resembled a long skirt that dragged along the ground, adorned with gorgeous feathers, much like a phoenix's tail.1
Its voice echoed like a mournful cry: "Hey hey... there are some latecomers. Thinking about the king of snakes who went to the mountains that day, my king snake will be the first to refuse!"1
This was the Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Snake, a noble among snakes, born superior to others. It was the strongest contender for the Snake King of all dynasties. Born as a spirit, it could speak human words. On the day of its birth, a natural vision occurred, and the sound of Fengming resounded throughout the world. If it did not fall, it was destined to become a flying dragon in the sky.1
Two months later, a sixty-foot giant snake with bright colors and a horn on its head was alarmed. It emerged from a large cave, its scales shining and exuding an extremely frightening and monstrous aura. This was the Jiaosnake, which had stepped into the threshold of becoming a Jiaolong. With horns on its head, it was just short of a complete transformation.1
"New Snake King? You b*****d... Although I failed to transform, I am still an elder of the Snake Clan. Without my approval, you want to become king?" the Jiaosnake roared.1
A dragon snake is a failed attempt at becoming a dragon. Another life was recovered during the tribulation. This was called the Jiaosnake. In the future, if it had another chance to undergo the tribulation successfully, it could still transform into a dragon.1
At the same time, in a miasma swamp deep in Tianxing Mountain, a giant snake with the head of an ox and the body of a snake emerged from the swamp. As soon as it appeared, the surrounding space became extremely distorted, with ripples and intense explosions. This snake had a single horn growing on the back of its snake body, in the middle of the bull's head. Instantly, a raging flame rose from the unicorn, evaporating the surrounding miasma and cold, humid air.1This was the horn of the red fire, containing blazing flames that could burn up all demons and monsters. Like a scorching sun, it was invincible. Additionally, this snake was covered with golden scales, which seemed to be dyed with a layer of crimson flame runes. These runes were extremely complex and mysterious. Ordinary people would feel dizzy, experience tinnitus, and even suffer auditory hallucinations and signs of pollution just by looking at them.1
This was the Emperor Lieyang Snake, with imperial dominance, like a prince. It was considered the snake king prepared by the Tianxing Mountain snake clan. It too was startled out of its lair.1
"Quack quack... jie jie jie... the snake king greets you, what a grand meeting," it cackled. "I, Lie Yang, wanted to come out of seclusion and prove myself as the Snake King. I didn't expect to encounter such an amusing situation."1
"I wonder if that guy tastes good. After being in retreat for so long, I could use a full meal."1Anyone who failed to compete for the Snake King would end up as the feast of the new Snake King. Snakes eating snakes had been the way since ancient times.1
For nearly two months, the snake-like cultivating creatures within the Tianxing Mountain range were all drawn by a domineering aura. It was as if an arrangement in the dark compelled them. They could not resist.1
The territory once ruled by the tiger spirit was now densely packed with snake shadows as far as the eye could see. There were so many, tens of thousands, as numerous as the hairs on an ox. Among them were snake spirits and snake demons with hundreds or even thousands of years of cultivation.1
The entire Tianxing Mountain was shaken by what appeared to be an unprecedented gathering of snake creatures. Snakes are naturally cold, and with so many gathered, most of them cultivating snake species, the temperature in the mountain forest dropped sharply. The cold air was overwhelming, like a millennium ice cellar. Even a thousand-year-old ghost would tremble here. Other creatures had long since fled.1
"If you want to become the new king of snakes, you must overwhelm the others and become the champion."1
"Since the old snake king of Tianxing Mountain has fallen, no snake has had the confidence to stand up and accept the challenge of the others."1
At this time, many snake spirits around began to speak in human words.1
Arin practiced, exuding a snake-like arrogance invisibly, which was equivalent to setting up a ring. Those who submitted came to worship. Those who refused to accept came to challenge. The winner would be the new Snake King of Tianxing Mountain, who would ascend the throne and sit in the palace, commanding the snakes.1Countless snake eyes focused on Arin because he was the one who had summoned everyone. Therefore, he was the master who had to accept all challenges from those who did not accept him.1"Before enthroning and sitting in the palace, he has already begun to assume the domineering spirit of the snake king. When did we have such an impressive snake in Tianxing Mountain?"1
"The aura on the opponent's body is so strong that I can't help but feel fear, but why is he only ten feet tall? It's too small."1Snake creatures, the higher the level, the greater the potential, and the larger the body. The snake king of the previous generation had a snake body that was as high as a hundred feet.1
"He wants to become the new Snake King Taixuan? I don't think so."1
"Keep your voice down. Even if the other party can't become the new snake king, it's not for us little snake spirits to discuss."1"Beware of being eaten."1
The debate intensified.1
"This seat wants to see which little guy is so ignorant of the heights of the sky and the earth, daring to open the throne of the snake. Pass me first."1
Suddenly, a huge snake shadow soared upwards. In the crowd of snakes like a tide, it stood up. The tall snake body stood upright, with a tendency to compete with the heavenly test.
