369: Chapter 21: Lord of Chaos

Standing not far away, Li Wuji learned from the memories of the three Serpent Human Clan Elders that the golden giant python with wings in front of him was the ancestor of their Serpent People - the Feathered Serpent God.

"King Realm!"

With just a glance, he saw through the current strength of the Feathered Serpent God in front of him, and judging solely by its aura, the opponent was significantly stronger than him.

Just as Li Wuji was thinking, the golden giant python, which had its eyes tightly shut, suddenly slowly opened them.

The moment its enormous, pale golden snake eyes saw Li Wuji, a flash of unconcealable surprise flickered deep within its eyes.

This left Li Wuji, who was observing him directly, a little confused. However, almost in the next instant, that hint of surprise vanished, replaced by a bone-chilling, profound killing intent.

The Feathered Serpent God stared intently at Li Wuji, letting out a low and hoarse roar.

"This aura... it's actually you! Hahaha, it's truly like searching high and low for something only to find it right in front of you!

I never expected that King would be the first to encounter you! Today is the day I take your life!"

As soon as it finished speaking, the Feathered Serpent God suddenly opened a gaping, bloody maw large enough to swallow the heavens and devour the earth.

In an instant, a terrifying, bone-chilling ray quickly condensed and took shape within its mouth.

This ray, carrying world-destroying power, shot towards Li Wuji with lightning speed.

The speed was simply beyond imagination, leaving Li Wuji not even a sliver of reaction time.

Facing such a breathtaking scene, Li Wuji remained calm in the face of danger and decisively activated Mystic Ethereal.

Almost in an instant, his entire body became ethereal, as if merging with the surrounding space.

And that terrifying ray, which could have put him to death, pierced straight through his etherealized body like an incredibly sharp sword.

However, surprisingly, this seemingly infinitely powerful strike failed to cause any substantial damage to Li Wuji, who was currently in an ethereal state.

Suddenly, he felt the sky above him abruptly darken.

Looking up, it was another fierce attack from the Feathered Serpent God that had already arrived.

This time, the attack was no longer the previous terrifying ray, but a huge and powerful snake tail.

It cut an arc through the air, bringing with it a sharp and piercing sound of breaking wind, sweeping over like a surging flood.

Seeing this, Li Wuji originally wanted to activate Mystic Ethereal again to dodge.

But just then, his body instinctively sensed a strong feeling of life-or-death crisis, making him involuntarily abandon that thought.

This was the body's crisis warning; if he had really used Mystic Ethereal, he would likely die.

In short, at this moment, Li Wuji resolutely chose to give up using Mystic Ethereal to dodge, and instead raised his arm, preparing to take this extremely fierce blow head-on.

Only a deafening "boom" was heard, like a bolt from the blue.

Li Wuji's figure was sent flying like a meteor by the Feathered Serpent God's powerful force.

After drawing a long arc in mid-air, he crashed heavily to the ground and continued to fly backward for several thousand meters before finally managing to stop his momentum.

Although somewhat disheveled, Li Wuji still managed to stabilize his figure after just a few breaths, relying on his powerful Physical Body.

After regaining his footing, Li Wuji first lowered his head to look at his slightly twisted and deformed left arm, a look of solemnity appearing on his face.

"As expected?"

The power contained in that previous strike was truly astonishing. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough and responded properly, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

One must know that his Physical Body was much stronger than his apparent Realm. Luo Xiu's physical strength and recovery, plus Number 009, who was purely a Physical Body type.

Li Wuji's Physical Body, having obtained their characteristics, was absolutely terrifying, yet he was still at a disadvantage in this move.

Moreover, his arm wasn't just deformed by the powerful force; it had also started to petrify, and it was spreading rapidly.

In an instant, God-Demon Flame appeared on his arm, the petrification trend abruptly stopped, and the twisted arm recovered instantly.

When the Feathered Serpent God saw this scene, a sharp glint suddenly flashed in its snake eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

It slowly retracted its thick, long tail, then tightly coiled its hundred-zhang body around the small crystal mountain, its pair of snake pupils staring intently at Li Wuji, revealing hints of coldness and killing intent.

"Indeed, it's still lacking! Back then, Master and those Lords all fell for your tricks.

Even that final terrifying combined attack, which could be called world-destroying, failed to put you to death.

With just these current attack methods, how could I possibly kill you? Lord of Chaos!"

The Feathered Serpent God's voice was low and cold, as if from the Nine Nether Hells. The last four words it roared out.

When he heard the title "Lord of Chaos," Li Wuji's pupils contracted sharply, and a strong sense of shock and doubt surged in his heart.

Because this was not the first time he had heard this title.

Just when he had broken through to the King Realm, a brief segment had flashed through his mind.

In that segment, someone had also called him that.

And that person was a divine and mighty man wearing battle armor that shone with dazzling golden light, holding a golden war spear tightly in his hand, and with six pairs of snow-white and enormous wings growing from his back.

Recalling the scene at that time, besides this mysterious man, among the many creatures that were frantically chasing him, the Feathered Serpent God currently in front of him was indeed not present.

For a moment, countless questions flooded his mind, causing Li Wuji's brows to furrow tightly.

"Who are you?"

At this moment, an inexplicable premonition told him that he seemed to be on the verge of touching upon a truth hidden extremely deeply.

And this truth was not only closely related to himself, but it was even very likely connected to that crucial Editor.

"Lord of Chaos, you have gone too far!"

When the Feathered Serpent God heard this question, its originally furious snake face instantly stiffened, but immediately after, a vast killing intent surged towards Li Wuji.

"Today, I will definitely kill you to avenge Master!"

The next moment, the Feathered Serpent God's ferocious snake head suddenly shot out, actually intending to swallow Li Wuji in one gulp!

But Li Wuji had already confirmed the identity of the Feathered Serpent God in front of him, and knowing that the other party might know something, he naturally wouldn't hold back any longer!

"Since you won't speak, then I'll see for myself!"
