Towards Eternity
Ch 659's. Conquering All Beast (II)
The Black Wood Snake was getting a bad premonition.
Just this time he felt the terror of actual death. He could feel his entire body trembling involuntarily, as if with just words, Lin Mei was able to kill him both body and soul.
I gotta get out of here! The thought instantly appeared on the head of the Black Wood Snake.
The plant tendrils present on the body formed wings on his back, then flapped them and flew away from Lin Mei.
One flap of his wings and he had covered a distance of a kilometer so easily.
Lin Mei's eyes glazed in a cold light as she looked at the fleeing Black Wood Snake.
"You think you can escape? Too bad, ever since you took the challenge from me, your destiny that will become ashes has been set."
Lin Mei pointed towards the Black Wood Snake that was flying away from her. Now he was already four kilometers away from Lin Mei, and was about to reach the fog.
A small fireball that was half the size of Lin Mei's fist was created on Lin Mei's index finger tip.
"Dude."
*Phussshhh!!!*
The fireball was fired at an absolutely incredible speed. The distance between Lin Mei and the Black Wood Snake was very quickly reached by that fireball and hit had been the back of the Black Wood Snake.
The fireball exploded into such small sparks and scattered on the back of the Black Wood Snake. The moment the spark landed on his back, the spark instantly turned into a blaze that quickly expanded and started burning his entire body.
The Black Wood Snake bellowed frantically, he unleashed all of the Soul Power present within him and tried to hold back the flames that were burning his body. But instead of stopping, the fire actually grew bigger when it was exposed to his Soul Power.
The sight was the same as someone burning thin paper, then pouring oil on it. The fire that previously could still be controlled if overcome with a clear mind, actually enlarged into a blaze.
The figure of the Black Wood Snake above the sky looked like firewood that became the fire food that was burning it.
It only took a matter of seconds, his entire body turning into ashes.
The massive body of the Black Wood Snake fell from the sky, with its body of more than half having turned into ashes. When he touched the ground, only his head remained.
The head of the Black Wood Snake trembled violently like convulsions. His mouth was wide open, he wanted to scream, but no sound could come out. Only his head was left so it could not produce sound.
Both of his eyes stared in despair, he regretted that he had made the decision to fight with Lin Mei. Had he chosen to be Lin Mei's subordinate, he wouldn't have died this horribly.
In the next instant, his head had turned into ashes. There's nothing left of him now. He had died soul and body, with just one strike from Lin Mei!
All of the subordinate ferocious beasts Lin Mei stared in awe at the strength shown by Lin Mei. This is their leader! He is the Immortal Phoenix! The true Beast Ruler!
The Wood Serpent Dragon watched his two subordinates fight against Lin Mei from beginning to end. Sizzling. He turned his head to look at the Lion King who was still standing on the ground and had also been watching the fight of the two Soul Ruler snakes.
Unlike her who was still bowing her head, the Lion King was able to remain standing firmly as if the radiance of Phoenix power Lin Mei's body did not affect her at all.
"Hey, moss dragon." The Goat ascetic suddenly summoned the Green Serpent Dragon who was looking at the Lion King. The Green Serpent Dragon turned its head and looked at the Hermit Goat, as if asking why to call him.
"Do you want to know why I want to follow a mere Lin Family member even though I am a peak Soul Ruler?"
The Green Serpent Dragon blinked, he was lazy and not interested at all. Even so, the Goat ascetic continued his words.
"It was all because he had complete Phoenix power. He can heal, also destroy at the same time. This was the same as the Phoenix Emperor hundreds of years ago. It was obvious that he was the successor of the Phoenix Emperor, or perhaps even his reincarnation!" clearly the Cow Goat with a loud voice.
"Why then? Even though he is the reborn Phoenix Emperor though, me and the other forest lords have never been under his orders. Not even our ancestors were his subordinates. Why should I listen to his orders?!"
The words of the Green Serpent Dragon sounded sharp and cold. But his words sound very reasonable. If his ancestors had never even dealt with the Phoenix Emperor, why would he have to bow his head to Lin Mei?
The ascetic Goat shook its head and looked at the Green Snake Dragon with pity.
"Don't you notice it right away? Does your brain development not compensate for the size of your body? Really disappointing......"
Listening to the words of the Goat Sage made the Green Serpent Dragon ignited with emotion, yet he could not move a single bit from its place. This must have been due to the pressure of the Phoenix power on Lin Mei's body.
"Damn it, stinking goat! Just tell me what you mean, don't make me angry!"
The hermit goat was silent for a moment. His eyes moved and looked at Lin Mei.
"Do you think that you Green Dragon Snakes can have the power of an annihilation will just like that? Don't you ever think, where did the will of extermination come from?" asked the Goat Sage while staring at the Green Snake Dragon with a meaningful gaze.
The Green Serpent Dragon did not need to think for long to realize the Goat Sage's intent. When he heard the word 'the will of destruction from the Hermit Goat, he immediately knew the purpose of the Hermit Goat who spoke to him.
"That's impossible. Our ancestor, the first Green Dragon Snake has been developing the Green Smoke Poison for hundreds of years. He sharpened his poison power in every fight he faced thus creating an annihilation will within his poison. That will was born from the blood of countless ferocious beasts that had witnessed the development of the Green Smoke Poison's growing strength in each Green Snake Dragon fight." The Green Serpent Dragon rebutted quickly.
However, in the words he spoke, there was a feeling of hesitation. After he said it all, his heart also felt a confused feeling of uneasiness.
He had only thought about this matter this time. If it wasn't the Goat Sage who discussed it, he would never have thought of the origin of the will of annihilation in his poison. He believed that his ancestors had devoted all their effort and time in creating the Green Smoke Poison that had the will of annihilation in it.
But after thinking about it further, he realized that it was impossible for the will of annihilation to be created with just the battles his ancestors fought. The will of annihilation was not something as simple as a mere fight.
It is a form of destruction! The will of extermination will only be able to be realized in the annihilation itself!
The Green Snake Dragon understood, it was impossible for his ancestor who was not an invincible ferocious beast to create an annihilation in the Ying Ancestral Forest, especially with the other two absolute rulers within it.
Noticing the expression of the Green Serpent Dragon that had changed completely, the Goat Sage nodded small.
"That's right! That will of annihilation must have gotten your ancestor from the Phoenix Emperor! I don't know how he could have that annihilation will, but for sure, it has something to do with the Phoenix Emperor. From a long time ago, the will of annihilation was only possessed by the power of the Phoenix and the Phoenix Emperors had always appeared in every generation. No other living being could ever have the will of annihilation within them and still survive. The power of the Phoenix must have intervened in the creature if only one could survive."
Like being struck by a huge hammer, the soul of the Green Serpent Dragon was violently shaken. That answers everything! All the fog and mystery of the will of annihilation within the Green Smoke Poison had now disappeared by more than half.
"Ah... if so...."
"Fright! By following the Phoenix Emperor alone your heart will be able to calm down. If you do not submit to him, then the will of annihilation within you will be taken back by its original owner, and you will die leaving behind a pile of ashes."
After saying that all, the Goat ascetic finally kept silent and did not speak anymore. He did not ask what choice the Green Serpent Dragon had taken. No, he didn't need to ask her at all because he already knew about it.
He was up in the sky, Lin Mei in the blaze of Phoenix Fire took a deep breath.
The Phoenix Flame shrank and seemed to be blazing from his body only. With a swing of his hand, clothes appeared on his body, after which the Phoenix Flame completely disappeared.
His body is a bit confused. His head felt very dizzy and his whole body felt numb. This was a side effect of the excessive use of the power of the Phoenix bloodline. The effect he felt could be said to be mild. At one time, he had experienced several bruises on his skin as well as nosebleeds for several minutes without stopping.
After stabilizing himself, he turned his head down, towards the Green Dragon Snake who had just finished talking to the Goat Sage.
"Then, what are your options? Are you going to bow or not?"
Hearing Lin Mei's question, the Green Dragon Snake immediately came to a realization from her thoughts. He looked at Lin Mei in his lowered position.
Although there was some reluctance in him, but the reluctance was only because just his own ego did not want to be subordinate to a girl who was not even an adult and was only in the realm of Soul Unification.
But there is something far beyond those feelings of reluctance.
That is..hope! He had always dreamed of becoming strong, surpassing his ancestor, the first Green Dragon Snake. He wanted to be like the Nine-Headed White Snake who found his luck and became the ruler of a vast territory. He wanted to surpass the restrictions that were within him, and he saw, that Lin Mei was the key for him to break through those boundaries.
"I.mau."
