Chapter 2: The Immortal Reborn With a Gulp

“Broken Engagement, Useless, Dantian Destroyed…”

“Fine, since I, the Immortal, have inherited your body, I will naturally clear your grievances. Those who humiliated you, I won’t spare a single one!”

Chen Fan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “The injuries are severe. If I hadn’t taken over, you would have already died. But this can’t stop me… hmm?”

Chen Fan suddenly frowned.

At this moment, Xu Hei was hiding on the roof beam, not daring to breathe heavily. His heartbeat had slowed to its lowest.

The youth’s muttering had all entered his ears, though he didn’t understand what it meant. Just a moment ago, Xu Hei felt as if someone was observing him.

Since that sense of being watched appeared, the young man had stopped speaking, indicating that he had already discovered him!

“Oh no! He has his eyes on me!”

Xu Hei’s pupils contracted, and a strong sense of crisis filled his heart. The snake scales on his body stood on end. This young man gave him an extremely terrifying feeling!

“The pigs in the pigpen are short by two. He must know I ate his pigs!”

“I’m done for! This person is definitely going to kill me!”

Xu Hei’s scalp went numb as if a thief had been caught red-handed.

In these times, countless people starved to death on the streets. How precious were two pigs? The Chen Family would definitely not let him go easily.

Not to mention, so many livestock and poultry had gone missing nearby. They would definitely connect it to him!

It was over, completely over. Xu Hei felt his snake life was shrouded in darkness, as if he could already see himself being skinned and dismembered, his corpse lying on the street.

And at this moment, an even more shocking scene unfolded.

That young man’s nearly fatal wounds were slowly healing. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth trickled into his shattered dantian.

Gradually, the spiritual energy swirled around him, forming the shape of a dragon.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect this—the demon race’s supreme treasure, the Demon God Cauldron, has also reincarnated with me! Taixu Ancestral Dragon, you miscalculated!”

The youth smirked inwardly. From beginning to end, he didn’t even glance at Xu Hei.

But Xu Hei’s mental state was on the verge of collapse.

“He’s casting a spell, he’s casting a spell! He’s going to kill me!”

Xu Hei didn’t know what the youth was thinking, but the terrifying aura emanating from him grew stronger, leaving Xu Hei’s heart pounding in fear. It was clear that he was preparing some spell to kill him!

Xu Hei’s eyes widened in terror, then gradually transformed into madness.

In the natural world, it’s the survival of the fittest; it’s either you die or I die! He stole the young man’s pigs, and the man would definitely kill him!

“He’s gathering power to deliver a fatal blow!”

“That must be it, that must be it!”

“If you’re going to kill me, then I’ll just have to eat you! I’ll just eat you!”

Xu Hei’s gaze turned crazed. He could no longer hold back. If he didn’t make a move now, once the young man fully recovered and finished gathering power, it would be his death.

This man had clearly noticed him but pretended not to, to avoid alerting him. He was secretly gathering power to kill him. Cultivators were all this cunning and sinister!

This trick might deceive other snake demons, but it wouldn’t fool Xu Hei!

Xu Hei’s body was like a tightly wound spring stretched to its limit. In the next instant, he shot forward like a lightning bolt, a gust of wind hurtling downward!

“Ahhh! You forced me to do this!!!”

Xu Hei lunged forward, opening his bloody mouth wide to bite Chen Fan, looking utterly frenzied.

Chen Fan: “???”

A foul wind swept past. In a flash of lightning, Chen Fan was swallowed into Xu Hei’s belly in one gulp.

Swallowed into the snake’s belly, Chen Fan remained puzzled. By all accounts, after he deliberately released some of his immortal aura, the other party should have been scared off by his presence.

However, he didn’t panic. He didn’t even struggle. Instead, he let out a cold snort.

“A mere first-level spiritual beast dares to strike at me? Truly seeking death!”

His divine sense had already detected Xu Hei but merely glanced past him, not taking him seriously.

Though he was in a young man’s body, the immortal aura and killing intent he emitted were enough to make any low-level demon beast avoid him, not daring to come near.

Yet, this unexpected thing happened. This serpent demon seemed to be different.

It didn’t matter. Not to mention that Chen Fan had already recovered to the second level of Qi Refinement, just by using a bit of his immortal techniques, he could destroy this serpent demon a thousand times over.

“Boundless Sea!”

Chen Fan raised both hands. A boundless wave of energy, like a tsunami, erupted from his palms.

Xu Hei’s serpent body immediately began to swell, inflating like a balloon, growing larger and larger!

Greedy snake swallowing an elephant. At this moment, Xu Hei’s body was already larger than an elephant. Even with the flexibility of a snake’s body, it couldn’t endure such torment.

“Ahhh! I’m going to die!” Xu Hei screamed internally.

He didn’t want to die!

He had finally awakened his spiritual intelligence after countless cycles of rebirth, having been a chicken, duck, and fish before finally becoming Xu Hei. He didn’t want to die just like this!

Just for stealing two pigs, he now faced the calamity of death. This was the cruel human world! Xu Hei’s heart was filled with regret. If he had known, he would never have come to eat that pig.

For the first time in his life, he felt the horror of humans.

“Buzz!” His demon core emitted a faint glow. A force supported his body, preventing him from bursting immediately.

“Ha!”

Chen Fan spat out true energy, striking at Xu Hei’s demon core. Xu Hei’s hard demon core shattered like fragile glass.

With his demon core destroyed, the intense pain nearly caused Xu Hei to faint. His consciousness blurred, his body on the verge of collapse, teetering on the edge of death.

A mere youth could easily kill him. Humans were more terrifying than he had imagined!

“I’ll have some snake meat to replenish my energy.” Chen Fan thought to himself. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Suddenly, a pitch-black small cauldron emerged from his spiritual sea, landing at Xu Hei’s demon core, spinning slowly.

“Hmm?” Chen Fan was startled. This was the demon race’s supreme treasure, the Demon God Cauldron!

Just as he intended to retrieve the Demon God Cauldron, he was shocked to find that his connection to it had been severed.

The next second, an immense and terrifying power exploded from the cauldron, enveloping Xu Hei’s body, slamming heavily onto Chen Fan.

“How could this be? Why is my Demon God Cauldron helping this beast!!!”

Chen Fan let out a shrill scream. In an instant, his flesh shattered, and even his soul was about to be extinguished.

The reversal happened too quickly. Chen Fan had no time to react. Against the Demon God Cauldron’s attack, he had no resistance and was utterly annihilated!

“No!! I refuse to accept this! How could I, a mighty immortal… ah!!”

Amid the unwilling roars, he self-detonated his soul, swearing to smash into Xu Hei. Yet, he was absorbed by the Demon God Cauldron and vanished into nothingness.

Everything returned to calm. Xu Hei’s swollen body, which was about to burst, gradually returned to normal. He lay in the pigpen like a pile of mud, his snake scales shattered, meridians severed, barely clinging to life.

“My demon core… is gone…” Xu Hei blacked out and fainted.
