Chapter 6 - Snake...?(Edited)

As Wang Lei looked at the map, that he got from his Father, he could see that he needed to go through a rough patch. There were at least three small hills in his way that he needed to cross before reaching his destination. He was wondering if he could do it in the day time... no... he has to do it in the day time.

Without wasting another minute, he started to walk towards the flower shown on the map. He was as cautious as one could get when one was masturbating, afraid, what if someone opened the door suddenly.

He didn't want to use his power on the way so he avoided as many Profound Beasts he could. For those he could not, he just stayed at that place waiting for the beast to leave.

The biggest worry of his was his stamina. He was walking in a Mountain which was filled with Profound Beast and the only way to fight them was his DF power which heavily depended on his stamina. He didn't even want to think what would happen if he ran out of stamina and a Profound Beast found him. He was sure that his adventure would end there or he could use <Apogee> while totally running out of stamina. He didn't know what would happen if he did that but he was sure that it was not something to look after.

Wang Lei called it instinct reaction. Humans instinctively avoid trouble and he could tell his instinct telling him not to try it.

After passing every hill, he would find a place to rest. Doing the same process for 3 hours he finally reached the place where the flower was located.

He could see a small clearing in the forest. It was not that big, only about 5 square meters. He saw that in the center of the clearing there was rock and under the rock, he could see a flower. It was such that it felt like the rock was sheltering the flower.

'This should be the flower. But why don't I feel any presence around it.' Wang Lei thought internally. He has read in the book that there will be True Profound Beast guarding it, but he could not feel any presence. He was wondering whether this was the right flower or the one who wrote the book was trolling with the readers.

"Oi! Yue, can you tell whether this is the flower or not?" Wang Lei whispered. Even knowing the fact that he could not feel any presence he still wanted to be sure so that no trouble comes.

"According to the system Database this is the flower master," Yue said. Wang Lei hearing her thought that this 'System Database' was convenient. Though he could not use it but as long as he knew about the thing or its knowledge he could use it to confirm it. That means this 'System Database' only shows things that he knew other than that he has no access to it. Which was quite a sad thing for him since he could search for anything on it.

After getting confirmation from the Yue, Wang Lei started to make his plan. His plan was quite simple; it was so simple that it could not even be called a plan. Since you don't feel any presence around it, then just grab it.

Wang Lei slowly started to walk towards the flower. He was cautioned. He didn't want to fight a profound Beast if he could. He didn't want to take chances.

Reaching flower, he looks around him, seeing if any beast was coming or not. Since he didn't find any, he simply grabbed the flower and carefully plucked it trying not to hurt its root.

When he plucked the flower he saw no problem around him. He sighed in relief thinking it was easy. Putting the flower in his bag he started to walk away. He didn't want to stay in this place any longer.

While going back he kept looking around him to see if there was any beast or not. He used the same route he came from, with rest between hills.

As he was crossing the last hill he heard a hissing sound. At first, he thought that it was wind but, as he kept walking, he started to feel wired. 'Something is not right' He saw that the forest was quiet, way too quiet. It was as if no beast exits here. When he was coming, he felt presences, but now he felt nothing. As if they were spirited away. hiss*

He looked back to where the sound came from. There he saw a tail. He knew he fuċkėd up and hurriedly took a defensive pose.

"Master you should look for a safe place. Once you use <Apogee> you won't be able to move" Yue said hurriedly.

Hearing her reminder, Wang Lei remembered that he still can't stand up after using <Apogee> on DF. He looked around him and found an opening on the wall. It was a small opening but it was enough for him to get inside.

He slowly walks towards the opening while looking at his surroundings. When his back touched the opening he saw the full view of the one whose tail he saw.

It was a giant... literally giant snake. He was wondering what did it eat to grow this big. After looking at it for a while he remembered the picture he once saw in the Profound beast book. It was <Heaven Devouring Snake>. He was wondering why would you give such a dominating name to a snake. Can't they just call him <Big Snake>?

<Big Snake> looked at him for a while then suddenly attacked. Looking at his gaping mouth which could fill tens of human his size, Wang Lei used DF.

The temperature started to drop at a rapid rate. Surrounding started to freeze as well.

<Apogee>

He shouted as his devil fruit awakened. "Let's see if you can get alive out of this. Just kidding plz don't!!"

exhale*

When he first used <Apogee> on his DF he couldn't tell the difference except that it awakened his fruit. But training for a year he found out that <Apogee> not only awakened his fruit but it could also enhance his senses to the peak of humanity (Mortal and not a Cultivator). Which was same as giving him full control over battle. As long as the attach was weaker than him he could change its direction to any way he wants.

In Emperor's Domination, <Apogee> was Supreme Peak of any technique that only Immortal Progenitors could use. And now he was using it on his mortal body. It was taxing but he didn't care as long he could get Soul Forming Flower.

Wang Lei saw the snake coming towards him at breathtaking speed but because of his enhanced scenes, he could 'see' it coming in slow motion.

When the snake was about to bite him, he did a paper-thin doge while placing his hands on the snake's scales <Touch of Death> he said calmly. His voice was devoid of any emotion. Cold and ruthless.

With his voice, Ice started to spread on its scale at a rapid pace. It had not even taken 3 seconds when the whole snake was frozen.

Wang Lei looked at the snake and blew at it. The snake turned into a tiny particle of ice which spread in all direction. If not that he was in the forest where he could be killed at any moment, he wanted to enjoy this sight.

Getting out of <Apogee> state he felt intense fatigue and headache. He looked back and entered the gap and lost consciousness.
