127: The terrifying first evolution of the little black snake

[Experience +99,990,000]

Swish!

A flash of white light passed, and Xu Le's Rank increased by one.

He finally reached Rank 69.

The monster's experience was very rich, nearly 100 million experience points.

But from Rank 69 to Rank 70, 140,000,000 experience was needed.

And the difficulty of killing it could be described as a Breakthrough to the heavens.

If it hadn't happened to be swallowed into its stomach, allowing the Little Demon Monkey to output damage easily for over an hour and push its talent to the limit, wanting to kill it would have been a dream.

Appearing in Xu Le's hand at the same time were 9 Soul Fragments.

[Item] Void Serpent's Soul Fragment

[Rank] legendary grade

[Item Details] Soul Fragment of the Void Overlord, the Void Serpent, containing its skills and memories. After being killed by some unethical means, the Soul is filled with resentment and regret, and will curse everyone who touches it.

"How is it unethical?"

"It was clearly wit and intelligence, plus my own terrifying Strength. Even without stomach acid, I could have slain it."

"This Void Serpent is a sore loser; it even slanders me after being killed."

Xu Le was huffing with anger when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

The Little Peach Tree had become a little bald tree, with five immortal coils hanging from the branches, looking particularly conspicuous.

The Little Demon Monkey stared wide-eyed, constantly telling itself that it was just looking and didn't want to eat them at all.

Beside it, the Little Black Snake was almost bursting from overeating, its entire body twice the size it was before.

The Elephant Swallowing skill could swallow enemies ten times its body volume, but the Void Serpent was clearly more than ten times its size.

Its health bar had dropped to the red line; the Little Peach Tree's last leaves had obviously been sacrificed for it.

Xu Le hurriedly cast a "Life Recovery" skill and then tried to dissuade it.

"Little Black Snake, I'm out. Hurry up and spit it out."

The Little Black Snake had gone completely mad, its eyes blood-red, unable to hear Xu Le's voice at all, continuing to devour the Void Serpent's body.

80 meters.

81 meters.

82 meters.

"Spit it out!"

"Be good, hurry back to the Contract Space."

Xu Le continued to persuade it, but the Little Black Snake couldn't hear him at all, its mind only set on completely swallowing the body in its mouth.

To be precise, the current Little Black Snake was unconscious; what continued to swallow was not itself, but its lingering instincts.

A contracted beast cannot refuse a Contractor, especially Xu Le's contracted beasts, who adore Xu Le from their Souls; it was even more impossible to refuse.

Not returning to the Contract Space now proved that it had lost its consciousness.

Xu Le had no choice but to keep casting "Life Recovery" skills on it.

But since the Little Demon Monkey had left combat, its own attributes were constantly decaying. Xu Le, who inherited attributes synchronously, would also decay, and soon the skill cooldowns would return to normal levels.

When that time came, he would no longer be able to heal the Little Black Snake and could only watch it burst from overeating.

Xu Le quickly took the star radiance profound spear, cut the Void Serpent's body into two pieces from the previous hole, and put the upper half into his space ring.

Only then did he watch the Little Black Snake finish devouring the remaining corpse.

Time continued to pass.

Because it was too full, the Little Black Snake's health points began to plummet again.

Xu Le's skills were on cooldown when a pitiful thought was transmitted over.

He looked at the Little Peach Tree, which was shaking an immortal coil on its branch.

Xu Le finally understood why the previous immortal coil had disappeared.

Without hesitation, he directly plucked an immortal coil and put it into the Little Black Snake's mouth.

The Little Black Snake's health bar filled up again, and it then gained the "Spiritual Qi Overwhelming" BUFF.

Five minutes later.

The Spiritual Qi Overwhelming BUFF ended. Fortunately, the Little Black Snake had also digested most of the remains, finally stopped losing health, and regained consciousness.

Immediately, it remembered that it had wasted one of Xu Le's immortal coils and bowed its head in shame.

Xu Le patted its head and comforted it, saying it was fine.

After inheriting Tang Qianchuan's wealth, although most of the good things were in the Tang Family Treasury, selling the items in the ring would make him as rich as a nation.

After all, those were the rings of the Tang Family elites plus the family head.

An hour later.

The Little Black Snake had completely digested the Void Serpent, and its body was faintly undergoing a mutation, but it was still just a bit short.

Xu Le glanced at the remains in the ring and fed them directly to the Little Black Snake.

Another hour passed.

A different Aura erupted from the Little Black Snake's body. Although its appearance was still the same as before, the entire snake's temperament had undergone a world-shaking change.

Its length had also become over eighty meters, and its body was two sizes larger than before.

Xu Le opened the Little Black Snake's panel.

[contracted beast] Little Black Snake (Nameable)

[Race] Ancient Black Python (SSS-rank)

[Rank] 69

[Strength] 21,000

[Agility] 21,000

[Physique] 21,000

[spirit] 7,000

[Equipment] None

[Talent] Indestructible Vajra, Void Creatures

[Skills]

Deterrence, Despair Strangulation, Golden Dragon Ascends to Heaven, Elephant Swallowing, Savage Bull Charge, Void Blade

[Void Creatures]

Absorbs mysterious power from the Void Realm to break the genetic shackles in the body. The four-dimensional attributes gained per Rank are increased by 10 times.

[Void Blade]

Absorbs mysterious power from the Void Realm and releases it in the form of an air blade, dealing (Physique + spirit) × 2 damage. Cooldown: None

It had to be said that the Little Black Snake's evolution this time was terrifying; the 10-fold four-dimensional attributes alone were already frightening.

The Void Blade was even more formidable. With one breath from the Little Black Snake, the air blade's range was a full 50 meters, which could be said to have changed the pathetic situation where it could only fight one-on-one.

However, although the Void Blade had no cooldown, it took time to accumulate the mysterious power from the Void Realm. Currently, the Little Black Snake could release it once every five seconds, which was frighteningly strong.

Nine Phoenix and the other contracted beasts excitedly touched the Little Black Snake, and even the Little Demon Monkey snuck in a few touches.

Too strong.

Xu Le couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Could he make all his contracted beasts become Void Creatures?

Could he himself also become a Void Creature?

If all his attributes were increased tenfold, wouldn't he be invincible?

Whatever Death God, Serpent Mother, or the like—bring them on, he'd kill them all together!

...Ten days later.

Xu Le kept flying forward but never encountered another Void Creature.

It seemed as if this entire area was the Void Serpent's territory; except for dust, there was only dust, a pitch-black expanse that was depressingly maddening.

Xu Le's anticipation turned into anxiety, then from anxiety to rage, and finally settled into calm.

Without hope, there would be no disappointment.

Nine Phoenix was still leading the way and providing light.

The Little Black Snake volunteered to carry Xu Le and the Little Peach Tree, and the other contracted beasts occasionally came out for some fresh air.

Xu Le lay on the Little Black Snake, eating and sleeping, waking up to count the treasures and equipment in his space ring, and eating again when he got hungry—a complete cycle.

Another month later.

Xu Le was counting his treasures when he sensed a terrifying spatial fluctuation in the distance. He hurriedly activated "Mind Link" but did not sense any Mind Link point.

This meant there were no enemies.
