Flat-Ground Fall

The black-clad 'Venerable White' stared intently at the Four-Headed Snake Demon.

"Strange, I clearly felt someone calling me just now?" The black-clad 'Venerable White' scratched his head.

Then, he glanced at Song Shuhang on the neck of the 'Four-Headed Snake Demon' and the Venerable White on its tail. Song Shuhang was lying face up, while the Venerable White was in a 'lying' position, so his face was not visible.

"One is an ordinary human Third-Grade Cultivator... and the other, eh?" The black-clad 'Venerable White' showed curiosity. If his senses were correct, this was a human cultivator at the Seventh-Grade Venerable level, right? And this demon was only at the Sixth-Grade rank.

Sixth-Grade demon was able to capture a Seventh-Grade human cultivator; it must have some tricks up its sleeve.

The Four-Headed Snake Demon had been stared at by the black 'Venerable White' in the sky for a long time, and not only its tail, but even its four heads began to go weak. If this continued, it felt that it would turn into an earthworm and burrow into the ground in fear.

"I have a strange feeling about that human cultivator coiled behind that little snake." The black-clad 'Venerable White' pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "But... what does it have to do with me?"

Then, the black 'Venerable White' yawned and gently waved to the Four-Headed Snake Demon who was almost scared to death. "Keep it up, I won't disturb your meal."

Actually... he was quite interested to see how this ordinary sixth-tier demon would devour that strange-looking Seventh-Grade human Venerable.

However, if he keeps staring at it, it might frighten the little four-headed serpent. It's best not to disturb these little demons, after all, they are all newcomers from the Netherworld.

With a gentle smile, the black-clad 'Venerable White' waved his hand dismissively, rose, and left...

On the ground, the Four-Headed Snake Demon breathed a deep sigh of relief.

This breath seemed to expel all the 'waste gas' from its body through the mouths of its four heads, and its body even seemed to flatten out from the deflating air.

Fortunately, the terrifying entity in the sky harbored no ill will towards it; instead, it encouraged it to keep going.

The Four-Headed Snake Demon has escaped death once again.

That said, which super-powerful being in the 'Netherworld' is this terrifying existence? The Four-Headed Snake Demon felt that even facing the lord of 'Rebirth Mountain' did not bring it this much pressure.

Thinking of this, the Four-Headed Snake Demon cautiously raised its head again, glancing warily at the powerful figure in the sky. It wanted to see if this terrifying being had already gone far away.

When it glanced over, it saw a horrifying scene!

In the sky, the black-clad 'Venerable White' waved his hand and departed gracefully. He strode through the void as if he were standing on solid ground, moving further and further away.

Because he wasn't in a hurry, he didn't walk fast, and he kept yawning as he walked.

Suddenly... the black-clad 'Venerable White' seemed to have stepped into thin air. It was incredibly strange; he was clearly walking on empty air, so how did he manage to 'step into thin air' like that?

Regardless, he did miss a step. Then, his other foot mysteriously hooked onto the one that had missed.

And so, the black 'Venerable White' fell to the ground in mid-air.

Because he was in the air, after falling, he plummeted like a meteorite.

"Oops, I missed another step?" the black-clad 'Venerable White' murmured.

As he spoke, he yawned again... The black-clad 'Venerable White' didn't seem to have any intention of adjusting his posture and standing up again. He simply let his body fall from the sky.

On the ground... the Four-Headed Snake Demon's body instantly stiffened.

Its four heads frantically calculated that if this terrifying being in the sky didn't stop falling, it would eventually crash down and hit it squarely.

Being hit by such a terrifyingly powerful being would be fatal, wouldn't it?!

They will definitely die!

So the Four-Headed Snake Demon forcibly activated the energy within its body, making its limp body run with all its might.

As it raced, two of its heads turned, watching the powerful being falling from the sky.

Then, the Four-Headed Snake Demon witnessed another bizarre scene.

In the sky, this powerful being even changed direction during its descent, constantly making minor adjustments as it continued to fall towards its location!

Holy crap, what's going on?

Was it because this powerful being suddenly disliked him again and wanted to get rid of him?

But that doesn't make sense. With this powerful being's strength, couldn't he have easily killed it with a simple spell? Why go through all this trouble to deal with him?

At that moment, a thought suddenly occurred to the Four-Headed Snake Demon —it felt that the mysterious power falling from the sky was like a piece of iron being attracted by a magnet, drawn towards it by something.

If this powerful being was attracted by anything... after thinking about it, the only thing that could be it was the two human cultivators it was carrying?

Could these two human cultivators be 'magnets'?

The Four-Headed Snake Demon, frantically charging forward, gritted its teeth and tossed Song Shuhang, whom it had wrapped around its head, aside—compared to the reward brought by the 'remnants of the Vajra Temple,' the handsome, otherworldly cultivator on its tail was indeed more important.

Between love and wealth, the Four-Headed Snake Demon chose love!

After abandoning Song Shuhang, the Four-Headed Snake Demon continued its frantic run, while two of its heads kept an eye on the powerful being falling from the sky.

The powerful being that was falling continued to make subtle adjustments, getting closer and closer to the Four-Headed Snake Demon.

"Damn it," the Four-Headed Snake Demon muttered in frustration.

The remnants of Vajra Temple are not a 'magnet' that attracts powerful beings.

Sure enough, what attracted the falling power was the handsome cultivator on its tail. In fact, it had already guessed it—after all, the power in the sky and the cultivator on its tail looked too similar.

If we're talking about 'attraction,' then over 99% of the handsome human cultivators on the tail are 'magnets.'

But the Four-Headed Snake Demon was unwilling and reluctant to give up.

So even though it knew that 'Magnet' should be the handsome cultivator on the tail, it still deceived itself and threw Song Shuhang aside first.

This is a crazy gambler's mentality.

But now it seems there's really no other way.

The Four-Headed Snake Demon was extremely unwilling. With a flick of its tail, it tossed the Venerable White, who was in 'seclusion,' aside.

Love is precious, but life is even more valuable.

Love and life, it ultimately chose life!

Sure enough, after the Venerable White on the tail was thrown aside, the powerful being falling from the sky plummeted straight down towards the location of the 'Venerable White'.

The Four-Headed Snake Demon felt a pang of pain in its heart—the powerful being in the sky was far too terrifying; if he were to be struck, the handsome cultivator would have no chance of survival.

How unfair! This must be a case of beauty being envied by heaven.

Just as it was pondering this...

Boom!!

A tremendous roar filled my ears.

Then, the Four-Headed Snake Demon felt a devastating impact on its back, and its body was sent flying.

Furthermore, a bottomless pit appeared at the location where it was standing.

After being hit, it fell into this bottomless pit.

[How terrifying... Just a fall caused such damage?] This was the last thought in the Four-Headed Snake Demon's mind.

Then, it felt everything go black and it lost consciousness.

After a while.

The black 'Venerable White' rubbed his eyes and got up from the ground.

I'm so sleepy, what just happened?

Oh... it seems he was walking along when he accidentally missed a step and fell from the sky?

This isn't the first time this has happened. Sometimes he's walking along and suddenly gets distracted, and then he falls from the sky.

He never cared about it, since he figured he wouldn't die from the fall anyway.

Sometimes, if he lands in a good position after falling, he'll even take a nap in the crater he made.

They might sleep for a few days at most, or even decades at most.

"You landed in a bad way today, so you can't sleep?" The black 'Venerable White' yawned as it emerged from the crater.

His gaze fell upon Four-Headed Snake Demon remains, crushed by the shockwave from his 'Flat-Ground Fall'.

The Four-Headed Snake Demon originally possessed the ability to 'regenerate its heads'. But now, its body is in such a dilapidated state, its heart has long been shattered, and it is no longer alive.

The black-clad 'Venerable White' looked at me with an indescribable pity. "Life is so fragile."

After a while, the black-clad Venerable White turned his head again and looked to his side—did he think there was something beside him when he slammed down?

Soon, the black 'Venerable White' discovered a stone statue.

Or perhaps, he was a human cultivator protected by layers of earth-elemental power. Was he the Seventh-Grade human Venerable who was previously coiled up by the Four-Headed Snake Demon's tail?

"Interesting, it actually survived unscathed." The black-clad Venerable White smiled slightly, squatted down beside the stone statue, and turned it over.

Then, the black 'Venerable White' paused for a moment.

The stone statue completely enveloped the cultivator inside, and even the facial features were incredibly lifelike.

This stone statue looks familiar.

"Wait, isn't that my face?" the black-clad 'Venerable White' suddenly said.

The face of this stone sculpture is exactly the same as his own.

He had sensed something strange about this human cultivator while he was still in the air. Now that he was closer, that strange feeling became more and more obvious.

This strange feeling is indescribable.

The black 'Venerable White' reached out and tapped the stone sculpture.

Knock knock...

The stone sculpture did not react.

However, the black 'Venerable White' seemed to be electrocuted, and his entire body was thrown backward.

[What's with this feeling? It's as if I'm about to be swallowed up and absorbed into this stone shell.]

Danger—this human cultivator gave him an overwhelming sense of danger.

"Kill him?!" the black-clad 'Venerable White' thought to himself. This dangerous thing should indeed be eliminated before it grows stronger.
