The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 595: Chapter 595: Transform Python into Flood Dragon

“It really is a Mountain Devouring Serpent!” Steward Shen opened his Spirit Eye, and discovered that the beast that looked like a Flood Dragon was actually slightly different.

A Flood Dragon was at least on the Four Transformations realm, but this Mountain Devouring Serpent, which greatly resembled a Flood Dragon, was only at the peak of the Three Transformations Ninth Layer.

This meant that the Mountain Devouring Serpent was in the stage of transforming its serpent form into a flood dragon, progressing towards a Four Transformations demon beast.

Fang Lin and Steward Shen exchanged glances, surprised that they had inadvertently intruded into the territory of the Mountain Devouring Serpent, and that this Serpent was on the verge of transforming into a Flood Dragon.

It was obvious that the reason they were unharmed was probably because the Mountain Devouring Serpent, engrossed in its transformation, did not have the spare time or energy to pay attention to them.

Once it had transformed into a Flood Dragon, both Fang Lin and Steward Shen would be doomed. After such transformation, it would need a large amount of blood to replenish its energy. Presumably, the Mountain Devouring Serpent was keeping them there to devour them once the transformation was completed.

The Mountain Devouring Serpent leapt out of the river, hovering in the sky, emanating a surging demon Qi. Its glossy black scales were cracking, glimmers of black light flowing within them.

On the ground, the countless snake demons seemed extraordinarily excited, as if awaiting for their king to transform into a Flood Dragon.

“Transforming here in Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain, isn’t it afraid of attracting other more powerful demon beasts?” Fang Lin asked, frowning.

Steward Shen said: “Attracting other demon beasts is inevitable. The question is how this Mountain Devouring Serpent will respond.”

Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain was a place where only the strong survived. The transformation of the Mountain Devouring Serpent will undoubtedly catch the attention of other beasts within the mountain, and might even attract its natural enemies.

Unlike Martial Artists, demon beasts are at their most vulnerable during their transformation and breakthrough, making it easy for them to be ambushed and killed by their enemies.

Therefore, normally, demonic beasts would choose a secure place for transformation and breakthrough, or make preparations to defend against their enemies before attempting the breakthrough.

Since the Mountain Devouring Serpent was already at the breakthrough phase, it should have made some preparations.

“We should leave now while we have the chance.” Steward Shen suggested nervously, uncertain about what would happen next.

Fang Lin shook his head: “Let’s wait a little longer, this may be an opportunity for both of us.”

Despite his nervousness, knowing that anything terrible could happen at any moment, this was also a massive chance. With good luck, they could reap immense benefits.

Of course, staying here also brought danger, including risk to their lives.

The massive body of the Mountain Devouring Serpent kept writhing, showing signs of severe pain. Blood kept gushing from its fierce mouth.

The blood splashed on the surrounding trees, causing them to wither immediately. Evidently, its blood was extremely poisonous.

It was visible to the naked eye that more and more cracks were appearing on the serpent’s body, its aura was also increasingly weak, as if it was about to die.

However, the closer it gets to this point, the closer the Mountain Devouring Serpent is to its transformation. Once it survives this weak phase, and its entire body transforms, it can become a Flood Dragon and soar sky-high.

But if it can’t survive, it will disintegrate, the Demon Core will shatter and years of cultivation will dissipate into nothingness.

This is the most terrifying result and the cruelty of the cultivation of demon beasts. After all, humans are the spirit of all things and possess cultivation methods most in line with the way of the world.

However, demon beasts are different. Their cultivation goes against nature, therefore it is more difficult. Each breakthrough is a gamble on their own lives.

Exactly because the cultivation of demon beasts is more difficult than that of humans, demon beasts of the same realm are stronger than martial artists.

Furthermore, as the realm increases, the higher the cultivation of the demon beast, the more terrifying it becomes, often capable of fighting against numerous martial artists of the same realm.

“It seems like it is going to fail.” Steward Shen, who had been watching the Mountain Devouring Serpent through his Spirit Eye, said.

Fang Lin also noted that things were not looking good for the Mountain Devouring Serpent. Although its demon Qi was intense, it seemed to have reached a bottleneck, unable to break the final barrier.

“If it falls, it would be such a waste.” Fang Lin said in a deep voice.

Steward Shen had a twitching expression. What a waste? It would be good if it fell. They would then be able to leave unscathed.

Unfortunately, Steward Shen did not know what Fang Lin was planning. If he did, he would kick Fang Lin into the river and run off by himself.

The Mountain Devouring Serpent roared, its eyes full of viciousness. Its whole body’s demon Qi was even more intense, with a hint of the Flood Dragon’s breath emanating from it.

“Still a bit short.” Fang Lin said, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Just then, the Mountain Devouring Serpent did something extraordinary.

It let out a roar towards the ground, where the countless snake demons exploded one after another, turning into the most pure Qi and blood mist. These were constantly being absorbed by the Mountain Devouring Serpent.

This scene left Fang Lin and Steward Shen speechless.

However, Fang Lin, with his wide range of experience, managed to quickly regain his composure after a moment of surprise.

On the other hand, Steward Shen, who had never seen such a scene before, was unable to calm down after watching tens of thousands of snakes sacrifice themselves.

The Mountain Devouring Serpent was indeed one step away from becoming a flood dragon. However, this step was extremely difficult to take. If it failed to take that step, it would only meet failure and then death.

However, the Mountain Devouring Serpent seemed to have anticipated this situation, using the flesh and Qi of thousands of snakes to help it take that crucial last step.

An innumerable number of snakes exploded all at once, the scene resembling a firework display. However, for normal people, this scene was somewhat bloody.

After receiving the energy from countless snake demons, the Mountain Devouring Serpent let out a long howl, shedding its cracked old skin completely and revealing its fresh body beneath it.

Moreover, on its forehead, a small lump emerged, from which a tender dragon horn emerged.

At this moment, the Mountain Devouring Serpent was no longer a serpent, but a Mountain Devouring Flood Dragon.

The face of Steward Shen expressed shock, as it was the first time he had personally experienced the transformation of a serpent into a flood dragon, undoubtedly an enlightening experience.

“Here it comes!” Fang Lin murmured, his eyes gleaming.

Steward Shen turned to look towards the western sky, where a huge flying bird was whistling towards them. Its body was ablaze, as if it burnt the clouds in the distant sky.

“Fire Burning Sparrow!” Steward Shen exclaimed, his eyes filled with horror. This was a Four Transformations beast, its aura extremely powerful.

“Not just one!” Fang Lin said, his eyes turning to the north.

A purple winged tiger appeared, travelling through the air in the North direction, with glimmers of lightning across its body.

“Purple Thunder Tiger!” Steward Shen was startled. Another Four Transformations beast had arrived.
