Chapter 220 - I Am Best at Swallowing Snakes!
【The moment the dragon appeared, Ye Yu took a step forward, firmly planting his foot on the ground.】
【He only slightly adjusted his stance, but he had already activated nearly a hundred formations, ready to act at any moment.】
【At this time, Ye Yu had prepared for the worst.】
【Even if this dragon had strength beyond the Ascension realm, like the Taoist boy from the Western Frontier, he would still be able to contend with it.】
【To buy time and lead Gan Duoduo away from this place, rather than facing an extreme one-for-one battle like in the previous dream.】
【Soon, the dragon’s form shifted, turning into a middle-aged man with a sinister face.】
【He looked at Gan Duoduo with a greedy gaze.】
【His voice was hoarse as he said, After waiting for hundreds of years, you’ve finally ascended.】
【Upon hearing this, Gan Duoduo frowned slightly, feeling very unfamiliar with the middle-aged man before her.】
【It seemed she had never seen this person before.】
【But why did he say he had waited for hundreds of years?】
【Gan Duoduo was uncertain, so she asked Gan Zhizui in the sea of consciousness if she recognized this man.】
【The latter stared at him for a long time and also found him unfamiliar.】
【I have never seen this person.】
【But be careful, his strength is very strong.】
【You are not his match. Release the seal and give me control of your body, and I will deal with him!】
【Upon hearing this, Gan Duoduo smiled and shook her head.】
【Sister, do you think you can trick me into releasing the seal this way?】
【No way!】
【I won’t be fooled!】
【Gan Zhizui was speechless.】
【She roared again, I’m not lying to you! You really are no match for him!】
【In response, Gan Duoduo made no further reply.】
【Ye Yu, who was standing nearby, also furrowed his brow slightly.】
【Something felt off!】
【The strength of the dragon before him was nowhere near that of the Taoist boy from the Western Frontier Continent.】
【From the fluctuation of spiritual energy, it seemed to be only at the mid-stage of the Ascension realm!】
【Could it be that he was different from the Taoist boy?】
【To verify this, Ye Yu asked coldly, Ascendants must die?】
【As soon as these words were spoken, both the middle-aged man and Gan Duoduo showed puzzled expressions.】
【What theory is this?】
【The Ascension realm is the final step to becoming an immortal, how could one die?】
【In the sea of consciousness, Gan Zhizui’s eyes widened suddenly.】
【She could now be certain that Ye Yu definitely knew something.】
【Otherwise, there was no way he would have randomly mentioned those three words!】
【Ascendants must die?】
【What does this mean?】
【Gan Zhizui was filled with doubts.】
【She was eager to break the seal and take control of Ye Yu to thoroughly question him about what he knew.】
【However, while Gan Duoduo was not skilled in combat, having spent so long in the sea of consciousness, her spirit was stronger than Gan Zhizui’s.】
【Thus, the restriction she set, Gan Zhizui could not break it.】
【This was also the main reason why Gan Zhizui had not fought against Gan Duoduo earlier.】
【The middle-aged man spoke in a deep voice, What nonsense are you spouting? A mere Tribulation Realm, you have no place to speak here!】
【Be quiet, do not speak ill of my husband, or I will not be polite to you!】
【Gan Duoduo directly shielded Ye Yu with her body.】
【She cast a cold glance at the middle-aged man.】
【But this remark did not scare the latter at all; instead, it made him laugh.】
【Not be polite to me?】
【That’s really quite amusing!】
【Poisonous Gan Zhizui, let me introduce myself. My name is Fang Gucai!】
【I am best at swallowing snakes!】
【Upon hearing this last sentence, Gan Duoduo couldn’t help but take a sharp breath!】
【Why swallow snakes of all things?】
【How excessive!】
【Fang Gucai was not lying; he was indeed best at swallowing snakes!】
【His true form was originally a snake. His transformation into the current dragon was purely due to an opportunity.】
【According to legend, a snake transforms into a serpant after five hundred years, a serpant transforms into a flood dragon after another five hundred years, and a flood dragon turns into a dragon after another five hundred years!】
【In ancient times, such things did happen.】
【But to transform from a snake to a dragon requires special cultivation methods and continuous tribulations.】
【Now, due to the passage of time, the methods have been lost.】
【A snake remains a snake, a serpant remains a serpant, and a flood dragon remains a flood dragon.】
【There has not been any recent reports of a snake transforming into a dragon.】
【However, there are always exceptions in the vast Dao.】
【Thousands of years ago, Fang Gucai was still a small snake in the Golden Core stage. He accidentally obtained a dragon transformation technique.】
【By continuously devouring his kind, he could transform from a snake to a serpant, from a serpant to a flood dragon, and eventually ascend as a dragon.】
【Over the years, Fang Gucai, through constant effort, finally transformed into a flood dragon ten centuries ago.】
【But the rate of evolution had slowed down.】
【After various tests, he concluded one thing.】
【The higher the cultivation level and talent of the devoured snakes, the faster his evolution.】
【As for those mediocre, ordinary snake demons, no matter how many he devoured, they were completely useless.】
【So, Fang Gucai targeted Gan Zhizui hundreds of years ago.】
【The reason was simple; the reputation of the Poisonous Woman of the Southern Barbarian Continent was too renowned.】
【It was hard not to notice.】
【Fang Gucai was also patient, waiting for hundreds of years.】
【It wasn’t until Gan Zhizui successfully reached the Ascension Realm that he finally showed his fangs.】
【So, in his eyes, Gan Zhizui was like a long-desired delicacy; as long as he swallowed her, perhaps he could directly transform into a dragon.】
【Then, quietly wait for ascension, no longer having to struggle to find prey.】
【After all, the concept of a flood dragon ascending to the heavens and a true dragon ascending to the heavens were two completely different things!】
【Fang Gucai, growing more excited by the moment, could no longer contain his exhilaration.】
【He immediately moved towards Gan Zhizui, or rather, towards Gan Duoduo.】
【He was unaware that before him now was Gan Duoduo, and not the renowned Poisonous Gan Zhizui.】
【But even if he knew, it would make no difference.】
【Fang Gucai would not care who controlled the body. To him, it was all the same.】
【It was all a great supplement!】
【Gan Duoduo had the cultivation of the Ascension Realm but had pitifully little combat experience. Her strength was less than seventy percent of its full potential.】
【Seeing Fang Gucai approaching rapidly, she instinctively felt fear.】
【Just when Fang Gucai was less than three meters away from Gan Duoduo, on the ground, several arrays suddenly lit up.】
【They each locked down Fang Gucai’s limbs.】
【Immediately after, Ye Yu raised a hand.】
【Gan Duoduo’s figure swiftly retreated over a hundred meters!】
【When she finally steadied herself, Gan Duoduo was still somewhat shaken.】
【Clearly, all of this was the work of Ye Yu!】
【She intended to grab Ye Yu and flee together, but she discovered he was already engaged in battle with Fang Gucai!】
