King Cobra, Black Snake

Ch 17 King Cobra, Black Snake

A thousand years later, King Cobra led the snake race to dominate the human continent.

Ten thousand years later, King Cobra became the sole leader of the beast race.

A million years later, there was no human in this world anymore, the beast race and the demon race opened the war on this era.

The war only continued for ten years before the appearance of a group of humans from outside of the world; these people were extremely strong, and the beast race and demon race were no match for them at all, in the end, the beast race and snake race had no choice but to run away and use all of the methods to hide from these people. Unfortunately, King Cobra was their target, no matter how deep he hid, he could not hide from them, in the end, he was struck by one blow before he died, and the world turned into eternal darkness for King Cobra, time and direction were meaningless here. King Cobra had long forgotten himself till one day he was born again in the body of a black snake, it was not a powerful beast anymore but a weak animal who had to be obedient in front of lions, tigers, or elephants.

"So, all of these scenes are not the imagination, they are not the images that you created, but they are your old memories, is that right Black Snake? Or should I call you King Cobra?" It was at this moment that Yu Xuan's consciousness awakened from the illusion technique of a black snake.

"You? How did you escape from my Eternal Illusion Technique?" Black Snake stared at Yu Xuan in shock, but what he was more shocked about was that this human could stay in his Eternal Illusion until the end, making him learn his real identity.

[So I am the reincarnation of King Cobra. No wonder why I can use the Eternal Illusion Technique since I was born, no wonder I can understand and speak the human language since I was born, no wonder why I feel that I'm more powerful than any animals.] Many questions were answered automatically in the head of Black Snake. Normally, anyone who was hit by the Eternal Illusion Technique would fall into eternal sleep in just a hundred years of experience. King Cobra shared the same scene as the one who got hit by his technique, he was naturally clear about the situation. He once thought this would be his future. But to think that it was his past, Black Snake was too shocked and excited.

"Hmph! Since you learned about my identity, you should know how to behave. I like a capable subordinate, you are able to stay in my Illusions till the end, it proves that you have that qualification." He was the reincarnation of King Cobra, although his memories didn't completely restore, he could behave himself well.

Yu Xuan did not immediately reply, he slowly stood up and stared calmly at Black Snake. Previously, he was hit by the Illusion Technique, Black Snake was quite far away from him, and the other animals were not spared from getting stuck in the Illusion Technique.

"It is my honor to get invited by King Cobra. But I wonder what benefits I will get from being your subordinate." Yu Xuan calmly replied to Black Snake, his face did not show fear or anxiety, at the same, his gaze began to analyze the situation. He was struck by the Illusion Technique without knowing it, how could he dare to be reckless like before?

"Hahaha! The benefits are unlimited! Women, resources, status, glory, and power will all belong to you as long as you follow me." Black Snake stuck out his tongue.

"I don't deny that fact! But what I want is the current benefits, I wonder what King Cobra can give me?" Yu Xuan was still as calm as ever as he said.

"Hahaha! You are such cautious at this young age! Good! Good! Now? Take this!" Black Snake swung his tailed slightly.

Bang!

Yu Xuan felt his body was out of control as he was sent flying and crushed by a tree.

Yu Xuan did not scream or groan, his face was still calm, and his attitude was still firm as he endured the pain and slowly stood up.

"You get it now? You have no choice! Although I'm not at the level of being a beast, I was born here, and all the primeval essence in this place was refined by me, I am completely controlled in this place, even a Core Formation Cultivator could do nothing to me in this place, let alone a mere 3rd-stage Foundation Establishment Realm like you." Black Snake sneered.

Yu Xuan was calm, he did not fear death, but he did not want to die like this, either.

[My internal organs are all severely injured by that invisible hit. I can't use any technique at this moment.]

[Plus, all the animals in this forest seem to be controlled by this snake for a long time, so it is useless to go against him at this moment.]

Yu Xuan was not a stubborn person, for a sake of surviving, becoming subordinate to a snake was not a shame to him.

"Although I'm a significant character, I do not work for free to anyone. No benefits, no me!" Yu Xuan closed his eyes, showing that he was prepared.

"Such an annoying person!" Black Snake narrowed his eyes, showing hatred. He didn't like this kind of person the most. A fearless person like this was not easy to control.

[I'd like to see how long you will endure it!] Black Snake used the primeval essence around the area to suppress Yu Xuan.

The unimaginable weight pressed on Yu Xuan like he was carrying the whole mountain, his body could not move at all.

[Damn! This parasite!] Yu Xuan cursed. This weight almost made him faint.

[Calm down, this is just an external threat, as long as my heart could endure, so be it my body.] Yu Xuan slowly sat down and began to absorb the primeval essence that press on him.

[Hmph! Still not giving up? Go ahead!] Black Snake was closing his eyes and lay there.

Yu Xuan did fear that this Black Snake would kill him, he did not bother with anything anymore, he fully focused on absorbing the primeval essence.

After a while, he couldn't help but be excited, [This... What is this kind of primeval essence? Or is it a method of that parasite?]

Yu Xuan felt that the speed of absorbing this primeval essence was faster than absorbing from the primeval essence stones or Primeval Essence Pond. Normally, it would take him 50 minutes or an hour to absorb the primeval essence stones, but here, he only needed ten minutes to accomplish that.

[This is not the natural primeval essence, otherwise, that black parasite could not control it.]

[This is not the path primeval essence either, otherwise, it will reject me. After all, I'm a Water Path Cultivator, only water path primeval essence could enter my body.]

[Then, what is this method?] Yu Xuan felt excited, if he could grasp this method, he would need less reliance on primeval essence stones. If it was the case, he would have more saving resources.

[However, this method is truly mysterious, I guess this stinky parasite won't tell me at all cost. I have to research it in the future.]

A day later.

"Boy, give up! Don't force yourself!" Black Snake stuck out his tongue on Yu Xuan's face.

Yu Xuan did not open his eyes, he still kept calm and cultivated.

"Hmph! Boy! What technique are you cultivating? How could you absorb this kind of primeval essence?" Black Snake felt uncomfortable upon seeing Yu Xuan's injuries completely healed. This meant, that he could absorb the primeval essence that he used to suppress him.

[Calm down, a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator can't absorb this kind of primeval essence. Let me have a look closer.] Black Snake stuck out his tongue to investigate something.

After a while, his eyes opened widened as he exclaimed, "Impossible! How could this be?"

"Boy! What is your real identity? Who exactly are you?" Black Snake stared at Yu Xuan with unbelievable astonishment.

"Oh, what is going on?" Yu Xuan acted innocently.

"Hmph! Boy, don't be innocent! Tell me who exactly you are, otherwise, I'm going to kill you!" The more looked at Yu Xuan, the more uncomfortable Black Snake was, but he didn't dare to act recklessly, lest Yu Xuan had a good background, this would bring a great calamity to him.

"Kill me? As if you have that capability, hehe. Come, come on!" Yu Xuan opened his arms widely in greeting, showing his confidence.

Black Snake's heart skipped, this was too much.

"Hmph! Don't blame me if you die, blame your arrogance!" Black Snake swung his tail, the primeval essence around the area gathering in one place as it pushed toward Yu Xuan.

Yu Xuan had a calm face as he activate his Cultivation Technique, Calm As Water, the coming primeval essence shattered and returned into the air, and some flew into his body. Yu Xuan was completely unharmed.

[It is really a Cultivation Technique.] Black Snake heaved a sigh of relief.

[No! Although it is only a mere Cultivation Technique, I can't let this boy stay here, otherwise, my effort of many years will be him.] Black Snake had an extremely uncomfortable feeling at this moment.

He was not a beast yet, using his body to clash with Yu Xuan was impossible.

His most useful trump card could do nothing to Yu Xuan.

This situation was the worst situation he faced since he reincarnated.

"Boy, what do you want?" Black Snake calmed himself quickly.

Yu Xuan was happy, against such a person, he didn't need to waste many words.

"Ahem, I seem to lack some good techniques, I wonder..." Yu Xuan lowed his voice and looked at Black Snake.

"Don't think about it! I don't have human techniques." Black Snake rejected Yu Xuan immediately.

"Any techniques will do." Yu Xuan replied immediately. As long as there was something good, he could sell it at a good price.

"Are you that poor, boy?" Black Snake stood, his tongue lightly swaying as he said with narrow eyes.

Yu Xuan did not feel shame, but laughed lightly, "Oh, do I look like that poor?"

"Boy!" Black Snake sighed deeply, " I can give some techniques, but you must leave this place as soon as possible and don't ever enter this place again."

Saying so, Black Snake's tone was serious and firm.

"As long as the price is enough, I can promise you that." Yu Xuan righteously said.

Black Snake swayed his tongue, acknowledging, "Are you looking down on me? A mere technique of mine can make you rich in one night. Don't ever compare my technique with the weak techniques of your human race."

Black Snake's expression turned proud as he mentioned his superb technique.

Yu Xuan laughed coldly, he knew that this stinky parasite must have many superb techniques, but he would not hand over a single one to Yu Xuan. Even if this was so, the random ones were enough to make Yu Xuan richer than doing the mission, and Yu Xuan had no reason to reject it. Yu Xuan did not have that much authority to negotiate with Black Snake, but he believed something was better than nothing.

Yu Xuan used his gaze to stare at the tall and huge Black Snake and said, "I know."

...

Yu Xuan left that forest after getting a few techniques from Black Snake.

It was daylight, and the atmosphere was quite hot, Yu Xuan was like a fish swimming ming in the middle of the water, the heat could barely do anything for him. He traveled steadily with his Soaring Fish Technique.

Bang!

Suddenly, a streak of flame cut through a streak of water, Yu Xuan fell to the ground unwillingly.
