Chapter Summaries

Lin Bai used the Asura Dharma Eyes to draw young Crimson Hell Pythons close so he could collect their venom, while observers in the imperial capital and Eastern Sky Immortal Palace watched. Before he could take any venom, a gigantic python erupted from the pool, leaving Lin Bai facing his first Primordial Wilds Breed and Barren Wilds Breed.
