Chapter 598: Chapter 567: Time and Time Again, Countless Times_1

Previously, lightning had struck the body of the Snake King, but this time the Snake King began using his own power to actively collide.

Although his physical body was completely battered, with blood dripping and skin and flesh split wide open, the Snake King could feel the strength of his bones, prompting him to attack even more ferociously.

Once, twice...

The Snake King had already lost count of how many times he had repeatedly charged, only to be repelled again and again.

It wasn’t until half an hour later that the lightning began to grow fainter and thinner until it disappeared.

"Aoao..." The Snake King’s roar, filled with both pain and excitement, echoed throughout the entire back mountain.

At Huashan, Cui Ying was so shaken by this roar that she bled from all seven orifices and fainted, unconscious.

Because both Cui Ying and Huashan were forcibly cultivating under such oppressive forces, they reaped many benefits but also suffered great harm, which is why they passed out.

In contrast, inside the Peach Orchard Wooden House, Qian Shikun and Sun Sihao simply listened quietly without any reaction; being ordinary people, they were unharmed.

The Snake King once again greedily breathed in the thick spiritual energy in the air, his body swelling up repeatedly. His bloodied physique also gradually healed.

The sky, unobstructed, allowed vast amounts of spiritual energy to scatter, permeating the back mountain of Qi Village and nourishing everything there.

About a quarter of an hour later, the ninth bolt of lightning arrived in front of the Snake King.

This time the lightning was not only encircling from all directions, creating a 360-degree, angle-free enclosure, but the last bolt formed a spherical shape, tightly wrapped in an outer layer, turning into a large, white, bright sphere, reminiscent of a massive egg!

"Brother Yingjie, what is going on?" He Tiantian asked in confusion. This seemed too much like bullying the Snake King. Being wrapped inside was bad enough, but there was also an outer layer.

It was uncertain whether the Snake King could break free from inside.

Huo Yingjie simply smiled and said, "Don’t worry!"

No sooner had Yingjie finished speaking than the giant sphere in the sky began to shake violently, with bulges appearing now and then, likely from the Snake King colliding with the sphere from inside.

"How is it going to come out when it’s wrapped up like a glutinous rice ball?" He Tiantian anxiously worried, fearful that the Snake King might remain trapped in the form of a rice ball, unable to escape.

"It’s alright, you must believe in the Little Spirit Snake," Huo Yingjie said with a smile, having no intention of intervening anyway.

Intervening now would harm him.

"But what if the Snake King can’t come out? Won’t it turn into a rice ball stuffed with snake meat?" He Tiantian retorted. "Brother Yingjie, please help him out!"

"If you want him to get killed as soon as he enters the Demon Realm through the spatial rift, then I will help him," Huo Yingjie shrugged, he only needed to get the Little Spirit Snake to the Demon Realm; whether it survived was none of his concern!

"Ah?" He Tiantian was startled. "Isn’t that his hometown? Is it that dangerous?"

"It is his hometown, and the realm where the strong rule and the weak become food for others," Huo Yingjie explained. "If he can survive the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder and return to the Demon Realm, not only will he have the power to protect himself, but he will also gain some of the heritage specific to the Spirit Snake Lineage."

"So there’s a reason like that. Let the Snake King strive by himself then," He Tiantian nodded, and looking up at the sky, she cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted loudly, "Snake King, you must be strong, don’t give up..."

He Tiantian’s shout was in vain; the Snake King couldn’t hear her.

The Snake King felt dazed, as if he had entered a chaotic space, which was getting smaller and smaller, trying to squeeze him into a ball and crush him like that.

The smaller the outer sphere became, the thicker the layers of the cocoon-like substance surrounding it grew.

The Snake King realized that using his own body to collide with these increasingly thick layers of lightning was not a solution. He needed to find a point of weakness and strike hard if he hoped to break through.

Even dripping water can wear away a stone!

The Snake King’s tail wasn’t very powerful, so he placed both claws beside the horns on his head and then struck forcefully together.

The Snake King’s method proved somewhat effective, as the spherical ball of light began to elongate into an oval shape, but still did not burst.

Over and over, the sphere transformed from a circle into an ellipse, then back from an ellipse into a circle.

It kept repeating.

He Tiantian was so frightened she couldn’t speak, wondering when the Snake King could break free.

The sphere grew smaller and smaller, and she was deeply worried about the Snake King, unable to hold back her tears, she bit through her lip.

Perhaps it was He Tiantian’s blood that drifted into the air, perhaps it was her tears that evaporated, or maybe it was the experience of bloodlines understanding each other that allowed the Snake King to sense He Tiantian’s anxious and concerned feelings.

Although she had not fallen in love with him, she at least cared about him.

That was enough, his trip to the Human Realm was not in vain!

"The all-powerful Snake King will surely overcome all difficulties..."

"All-powerful Snake King, please help me..."

"Snake King, you’re so kind..."

Scenes from the past flashed before the Snake King’s eyes.

She was down there watching him.

Facing the lowly and insignificant humans, he used to pride himself on being the Snake King... only he knew his own weakness.

However, in He Tiantian’s heart, she didn’t despise him for his self-praise or self-indulgence; instead, she often encouraged him, believing that one day, he would become the truly all-powerful Snake King!

Yes, he had to become the truly all-powerful Snake King.

If he died like this, he would be nothing!

"I must become the truly all-powerful Snake King, I must surpass Huo Yingjie, the Changling Supreme God, I must become stronger..." the Snake King encouraged himself over and over, striking the sphere with even more force each time.

Time and time again!

Over and over!

The Snake King’s claws were bloody, the bones now exposed, but he didn’t care.

The hard horns on the Snake King’s head were ground down to half their size, yet he continued to smash against them.

Repeating the impact at one point, no matter how thick the object, persistence would eventually break through.

Even the tiniest water droplets could penetrate hard stones; the Snake King believed his hard horns and claws could tear through anything that stood in his way.

He Tiantian watched the sphere, its violent trembling causing an unstable atmosphere around it, her heart lifted with anxiety.

He Tiantian was so nervous she could hardly bear it, and just before she was about to faint, the sphere was pierced by a hole the size of a fist.

The Snake King saw hope and rammed even more fiercely, sparing no effort and giving it his all.

"Boom..." After the Snake King burst out, the sphere exploded.

The Snake King was blasted far back but stumbled and flew back.

Because he needed to replenish his energy!

As long as he wasn’t dead, he had to absorb as much Spiritual Energy as possible.

Although the Snake King’s physical body had not recovered, the strength within him had grown even stronger.

While absorbing this Spiritual Energy, the Snake King’s mind was filled with many inheritances from the Spirit Snake Clan. In his mind, it was as if suddenly he had gained many previously unknown techniques and abilities.
