Transformation into the Blue Silver King! The Blue Silver Emperor's Astonishment!

In an instant, Ye Yang's nine leaves grew explosively to three meters long and a palm's width, wrapping around the snake's powerful tail!

Smack!

The tail lashed against the leaves with a loud, sharp crack, as though nine people had clapped their hands forcefully at once!

Naturally, Ye Yang wasn't sent flying. His nine leaves remained wrapped tightly around the Mandala Snake's tail.

Moreover, the threefold Strangulation skill hadn't just strengthened his power; it had reinforced his leaves as well.

Like nine steel cables, they cut deep into the Mandala Snake's tail!

The Mandala Snake's hard scales creaked and cracked under their grip, twisting and splitting like sheets of iron squeezed out of shape!

Hiss!

The Mandala Snake opened its great maw and let out a hiss of shock and fury.

It whipped its head around and saw, to its shock and fury,

that the ordinary Blue Silver Grass hadn't been sent flying by its strike. Instead, it was wrapped tightly around its tail.

Many of the scales on its tail had been squeezed until they cracked, and blood spurted out.

It instinctively bent its tail and body to coil around Ye Yang's leaves.

However, Ye Yang's leaves were thin and lay flat against the Mandala Snake's tail.

Even when the Mandala Snake's body and tail coiled around the leaves, it had little effect on Ye Yang.

The sensation was like having the top of his foot held under someone's heel.

It hurt, but it didn't injure him.

Seeing that it wasn't working, the Mandala Snake opened its great maw, turned around, and lunged in for a bite!

A snake's jaws could open to a terrifying 130 degrees, equivalent to the widest a human could spread their thumb and forefinger!

The 3,000-year-old Mandala Snake's head was as large as a washbasin.

With its jaws open, it was as wide as a small round table and could easily swallow an adult whole!

After moving Ye Yang here, the Blue Silver Emperor had quietly hidden herself.

Now, seeing this, she was startled and instinctively prepared to help.

Ye Yang was highly gifted, with extraordinary courage and spiritual power. His future achievements were boundless.

If he died prematurely, it would be a terrible waste.

Besides, Ye Yang's occasional flirtations with the Blue Silver Emperor over the past few days had had some effect.

The Blue Silver Emperor couldn't say she was in love with him, but at the very least, they were good friends.

However, just as she was about to act, a great mass of Ye Yang's grass roots whipped straight at the Mandala Snake's head, covering its face!

With a rustling sound, a multitude of Ye Yang's roots wrapped around the Mandala Snake's head.

Though his roots weren't as tough and powerful as his threefold-enhanced leaves,

they were dozens or even hundreds of times greater in number and length!

Hundreds of main roots, each hundreds of meters long and as thick as a chopstick, coiled around the Mandala Snake's head, instantly wrapping it into a giant zongzi!

In addition, a multitude of roots wrapped around its neck and body.

"System, spend 12,000 points to strengthen the Devouring skill for me!"

Amid the crackling of grass roots breaking as the Mandala Snake tore at them with its jaws, Ye Yang shouted to the system.

[Ding! Spent 12,000 points to strengthen the Devouring skill fivefold!]

As soon as the system's voice rang out, a terrifying devouring force emerged from Ye Yun's many roots.

The furious Mandala Snake was suddenly alarmed.

The roots that had been wrapped around its head, inside its mouth, around its neck, and across the upper half of its body

seemed to open great bloody maws, frantically devouring the Soul Power, blood, and even spiritual power inside it!

[Ding! Soul Power gained +5+5+5...]

[Ding! Evolution points gained +1+1+1...]

[Ding! Spiritual value gained +0.12+0.13+0.11...]

The three different system notifications rang out, and Ye Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

Eighteen thousand points had nearly emptied Ye Yang's accumulated reserves, but at last they were showing results.

The Mandala Snake's struggles abruptly weakened, leaving it shocked and furious.

However, it quickly rallied and struggled with all its might!

Its thirty-meter-long body, as thick as a bucket, gave it terrifying strength.

A giant venomous python like this would have been an absolute overlord on Earth.

Forget lions and tigers-even the largest seven- or eight-ton male African elephant would have been no match for it.

Ye Yang's roots snapped and crackled again, even as they kept growing.

Overall, however, they were breaking faster.

The Blue Silver Emperor had just breathed a sigh of relief when she grew worried again.

With her discerning eye, she could tell at a glance.

The Mandala Snake would snap all of Ye Yang's roots before he could devour it!

Blue Silver Grass did possess vigorous vitality, but that referred to its leaves.

Even if all its leaves were torn or burned off, it could still regrow quickly as long as its roots in the soil remained unharmed.

Wildfire could not burn it away; the spring breeze would bring it back to life.

But the roots were its foundation!

If Ye Yang lost all his roots, his vitality would undoubtedly be grievously damaged. Never mind a drop in cultivation; he might even be gravely wounded and left at death's door!

But soon, she saw Ye Yang change tactics.

His nine leaves, which had been wrapped around the Mandala Snake's tail, released it after squeezing it bloody.

Quite a few roots quickly moved in to replace them, wrapping around the tail.

That allowed them to better absorb and devour the essence of the Mandala Snake's blood and its Soul Power.

The nine leaves had a stronger grip. Each was three meters long, and spread in both directions, they could cover a six-meter stretch of the snake's body.

Leaving out the six-meter tail, the place where the nine leaves were now wrapped was roughly the Mandala Snake's backside.

The leaves tightened fiercely again, crushing its scales.

The roots crept over in coordination, wrapping around it and devouring.

A few seconds later, the nine leaves shifted another six meters forward, reaching the middle of the snake's belly.

This was the Mandala Snake's thickest and most powerful section.

It struggled madly, dragging Ye Yang, who was wrapped around its body, across the ground and slamming him against the earth, tree trunks, and rocks.

It wanted to shake Ye Yang off by using this method that injured them both.

Yet Ye Yang withstood the impacts and continued devouring frantically.

I put everything on the line! How can I give up now?

Ye Yang ground his teeth and roared inwardly, devouring and coiling with all his might.

Crack!

At last, another crack rang out.

The middle of the Mandala Snake's body had also been squeezed open by Ye Yang's leaves, leaving it bloody.

A multitude of roots shifted down from the snake's neck and devoured frantically.

They even tried to burrow into its belly, tighten around its internal organs, and devour them!

However, the 3,000-year-old Mandala Snake's desperate resistance also put Ye Yang under mountain-like pressure.

Even with the system's threefold Entanglement boost, his leaves were pulled taut enough to twang, and their edges had already begun to split!

Ye Yang couldn't release his leaves, nor could he continue coiling farther up around the Mandala Snake's neck and head.

But as he continued tightening his grip, he also depleted and squeezed out a great deal of the air in the Mandala Snake's belly.

It was just like a snake's constriction.

The Mandala Snake also took advantage of Ye Yang moving a multitude of roots away, thrashing its head more violently and tearing at the roots with its jaws.

Both sides were truly suffering!

They had both reached a critical juncture. Whoever relaxed first would fail on the very brink of success!

An unknown amount of time passed, and Ye Yang was nearly at his limit.

[Ding! Congratulations, host. Evolution points have reached 80. You have broken through to level 80 and transformed into the Blue Silver King. Reward: 8,000 points!]

The system's voice lifted Ye Yang's spirits.

He had already been at his limit, but his battered roots and leaves rapidly began to transform, as though they had absorbed divine liquid.

The Blue Silver Emperor, who had once again been preparing to help, stopped herself once more and watched Ye Yang's transformation with delight and surprise.

His nine leaves shone brilliantly, their blue and silver light dazzling.

The silver light in particular occupied half as much space as the blue.

Moreover, it dyed all the veins of the blue leaves silver.

"Blue Silver King!"

"In such a short time, he actually transformed into a Blue Silver King!"

The Blue Silver Emperor clenched her two little fists and held them against her chest.

Her beautiful eyes glittered as she stared at Ye Yang in astonishment.

There were hundreds of millions of Blue Silver Grass plants throughout the Star Dou Great Forest.

But because their innate foundations were so poor and cultivation was difficult, there was only one 85,000-year-old Blue Silver King on the entire continent besides her, the Blue Silver Emperor.

Now, at last, another Blue Silver King had appeared!
