Ancient Primordial Red Snake

"Fine, I'll listen to you, sister."

As they said this, they turned their gaze toward Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness...

Lin Yi had already reached the halfway point of the Hell Road. Throughout this journey, she had relied on her first soul skill to entangle her opponents before following up with her fifth soul skill.

At first, he did not understand the difference in doing this, but later he slowly realized that what Tang Chen meant by acting without killing intent was not to be so eager for victory.

Therefore, the subsequent path was much better than the stretch he had walked before.

Just as she thought she would soon reach the next destination, a large red snake suddenly appeared before him. The giant snake spat out some venom, causing the surrounding flowers and grass to wither.

Relying on the sensations in his memory, Lin Yi realized that this was the same type of snake Tang San had encountered before: the Ancient Primordial Red Snake.

The toxicity and speed of this red snake were quite formidable; otherwise, Tang San and Hu Liena would not have had to fight it together back then.

Now that he had encountered one of the same species, he naturally dared not underestimate it.

At this moment, the red snake's eyes were scarlet, staring straight at Lin Yi.

"Third Soul Skill—Flying Dragon in the Sky!"

Lin Yi quickly unleashed his third move to dodge the red snake, and the giant serpent did not show weakness, coiling into a ball and launching an all-out attack on Lin Yi once more.

He smiled faintly, released his fifth soul skill to trap the red snake in the ground, and simultaneously used his sixth soul skill, Dragon's End, to lock down its mobility.

The red snake still showed no signs of giving up, spitting out a wisp of venom while its massive tail lashed out repeatedly, as if trying to impale Lin Yi.

Lin Yi remained unmoved by this, merely smiling calmly.

At this point, the fact that this snake was still resisting proved it was indeed an ancient giant serpent with some real capability.

He quickly activated his fists, condensing all his Soul Power into his left hand, and before the giant serpent could recover, he struck down with a heavy blow.

The giant serpent collapsed to the ground, yet it still trembled, clearly preparing for a final death struggle.

Lin Yi certainly would not give it that chance; he struck with a blade, killing the giant serpent instantly, and then extracted its inner core.

He had not forgotten that Tang San had used this inner core back then, though he had no interest in the nourishing snake pill; he felt it would be better to exchange it with the system, as he might even obtain a second Soul Ring.

He knew how valuable the inner core of an ancient giant serpent was, so he figured that no matter what, he had to swindle the system for a good deal.

After putting away the inner core, he continued forward, knowing he was nearing the end.

The death of this snake also meant he had to face a greater challenge: the trial of the mind.

The other trials were not difficult to pass, but if one's inner resolve was not firm enough, it could lead to a series of problems.

Therefore, Lin Yi could not help but break into a cold sweat.

When he reached the area thick with miasma, his gaze darkened and his fists slowly tightened.

This place was indeed easy to enter, but not necessarily easy to leave.

Just then, a shadow appeared before him.

Looking closely, wasn't that himself?

The shadow suddenly spoke.

"Do you not wish to look down upon the world? If you are determined to be a king, you must obey my commands. Let us slaughter our way out together, using your Power of the Killing God to destroy everything. Only then can you reach a world of victory."

"Save it."

Lin Yi rejected the proposal outright and cleaved the shadow in two with a single strike of his blade.

"You're ten thousand years too early to try and trick me. Your grandfather here won't be fooled so easily."

After passing this trial, he saw things he desired, including the two women he loved.

Good grief, this place had everything; no wonder so many people stumbled here. It stood to reason.

After a long silence, Lin Yi narrowed his eyes once more.

"Get lost, you phantom! Don't put on an act in front of me; I'm not afraid!"

When the phantom completely vanished from his sight, a path appeared before him.

The path was a fork: one way was filled with high-level Soul Rings, while the other was overgrown with thorns. Clearly, this was another test.

If it were an ordinary person, they would inevitably choose the path filled with high-level Soul Rings, but Lin Yi was different.

He felt that the more attractive something looked, the less useful it might be, so he smiled calmly and walked directly onto the path overgrown with thorns.

"I never expected Lin Yi's comprehension to be so high!"

Tang Wutong, who had been watching all of this, could not help but exclaim.

"If it were anyone else, they would have chosen the immediate benefits long ago, never realizing that benefits handed to you are far less powerful than those earned through your own effort. With such comprehension, success is just around the corner."
