Chapter 1072: Chapter 1041: Return by Tearing Space

After the Snake King emerged from seclusion, many of his adult siblings were capable of standing on their own, and the elder clan that had long covetted the Serpent Noble Clan had been wiped out by the Snake King.

Now, the entire lineage of the Spirit Snake Royal Clan was firmly under the control of the Spirit Snake Clan.

Since stability had been achieved, the Snake King decided to go out for training to seek new breakthroughs.

"Father, Mother, I want to go out and train," said the Snake King. "Now that my siblings can stand on their own, our royal clan’s power is already great. Even if I am not here, nothing will go wrong."

The Spirit Snake Queen Consort frowned and said, "My son, aren’t you going to marry?"

"Not for now," the Snake King replied. He did not want to mate with any of the spirit snakes until he had let go of his obsession with He Tiantian.

Thinking about the previous great battle, everyone thought their son had died, but then he returned.

Could it be that his reluctance to marry was because he had been injured in that battle and was now impotent?

Under the intense scrutiny of his mother, the Snake King was somewhat speechless and said, "Mother, my body is in excellent condition, completely normal. I just haven’t found a woman I like. I don’t want to marry."

"Er... aren’t there so many cousins in your uncle’s family, not one of them catches your eye?" the Spirit Snake Queen Consort said. Although the actions of her brother were indecent previously, he had been lowly and apologetic over the years. She naturally hoped that her son would marry her niece to maintain the marriage alliance between the two families.

The Snake King shook his head and said, "I don’t like them, Mother. Please don’t make decisions for me. Either way, I am not willing to marry. That’s all I have to say. I have already arranged the training for my younger siblings. I am leaving now."

Seeing this, the Spirit Serpent King quickly approached and said, "Son, don’t worry, we won’t make things difficult for you as your parents. But when you’re out there alone, take good care of your health, fight if you can, run if you can’t. Face doesn’t matter; life is more important."

Hearing his father’s words, the Snake King smiled and said, "Thank you, Father. I’ve taken note and will definitely return safely with unique gifts for you and Mother."

After saying this, the Snake King bowed to his father and queen mother, then used the Mystical Art Instant Thousand Miles to leave Spirit Snake Island.

Their son had left, and the Spirit Snake Queen Consort was reluctant to let him go.

"Are you just going to be at ease with our son going out to train while he’s still so young?" the Spirit Snake Queen Consort said. "Surely he should get married and have a child before he goes out to train!"

The Spirit Serpent King sighed and said, "You, as a mother, how can you be so careless? Didn’t you see the sadness, reluctance, and longing in our son’s eyes when we mentioned marriage?"

"Ah?" The Spirit Snake Queen Consort was startled. "Do you mean our son has a girl he likes out there?"

"Probably," said the Spirit Serpent King. "And he loves her deeply!"

"That won’t do!" the Spirit Snake Queen Consort said. "Our Spirit Snake Clan does not intermarry with the outer world. Our son must not break the clan rules, as he is the future king of our Spirit Snake Clan!"

"But look how diligently he taught the younger siblings and the carefree aura about him, it proves he does not care much about the throne," the Spirit Serpent King said. "I suspect, during those years he was adrift outside, he must have had some extraordinary experiences."

"But our son is the most capable," the Spirit Snake Queen Consort said. "Everyone respects him. If it were someone else, perhaps they couldn’t command such respect."

"These are all our speculations; let’s ask him in detail when he returns. You can’t decide on our son’s marriage matters behind his back; lest he disagrees and gets angry, decides to leave home, and things become even more difficult to settle," the Spirit Serpent King said, expressing both love and frustration for his son.

Having this son had solidified his position as the Spirit Serpent King.

However, this child also acted willfully, doing things his own way, making his role as the father king quite helpless.

He only hoped that his son would come to his senses soon and stop engaging in messy affairs.

Return safely to marry and to rightly take over the throne.

All was serene on Spirit Snake Island. The Snake King could now venture out and gain experience with ease.

During his training, he used only his feet, wandering aimlessly forward.

He would climb mountains, swim across rivers, and confront fierce and troublesome demon beasts, handling them personally.

Along the way, the more he traveled, the more he saw, and the more he gained.

Yet, when the night was deep and quiet, the Snake King would still remember the events in the Human Realm.

Those were insignificant matters, but they were etched clearly in the Snake King’s heart.

During a battle with a Giant Deer Spirit, the Snake King felt a burning sensation in the Essence of Water within his palm.

The Snake King suspected something had happened to He Tiantian, but he was currently in battle and could not leave.

After all, tearing open a spatial rift took a long time.

He hoped Huo Yingjie would arrive quickly to prevent He Tiantian from suffering unnatural forces.

Previously, the Snake King had held back, but now rushing for time, he stopped toying with the Giant Deer Spirit and used his strongest strike, hitting it directly in the face.

Right then, the Giant Deer Spirit’s orifices bled, and its meridians were completely severed.

The Snake King also, due to this battle, had depleted most of his strength, directly devoured the Giant Deer Spirit’s energy source, then found a place to begin refining it so he could have enough energy to tear open the spatial barrier.

The Snake King now had enough strength to tear open the past barrier. That Huo Yingjie who disliked him would drive him away after this period.

The easiest way to get rid of him was to tear open the Demon Realm’s barrier space and send him away.

The Snake King spent a day and night refining, then found a secluded place to start tearing the space.

Because of He Tiantian’s Essence of Water for positioning, the Snake King could directly locate where He Tiantian was.

The Snake King used almost two-thirds of his energy to rip through the space, and suddenly, the ferocious beasts within a ten-mile radius dared not come close and fled.

Only those with great strength were curious.

Seeing someone tear open a spatial barrier, they were curious about the outside world and wanted to see it, too.

The Snake King didn’t dare let these monsters through, but he had exhausted too much energy. As he himself passed through the barrier gate, two animals, quick as lightning, rushed into the Human Realm.

The Snake King was frustrated, but now he didn’t have the power to stop them and could only watch helplessly as the two creatures passed by.

The Snake King quickly closed the barrier, and the demon beasts that followed were blocked outside.

Among those that came with the Snake King, the first one was too fast, and the Snake King couldn’t see what it was. The one following was a red fox.

The Snake King thought about rescuing He Tiantian quickly and did not pursue them.

He placed a tracking curse on the two creatures. When he had time, he would bring them back. He couldn’t let them endanger humans in the Human Realm.

With that thought, the Snake King then took notice of his surroundings.
