Chapter 509 Snake Skin 9 Fades
Wow~!
The Black King Serpent descended from the waterway beneath the Dragon Gate pillars, appearing before everyone's eyes.
At this moment, Cang Nian could feel a powerful force merging with the Black King Serpent!
Ang~!
The black king serpent twisted its body, and a dragon's roar, which was not its own, reverberated across the sea!
Then, a phantom image enveloped its enormous head.
Upon closer inspection, it was a dragon!
On its camel-like head, a pair of dragon horns extend backward, and a flowing, thick dragon beard sweeps down the back of its head, while four thick dragon claws are faintly visible...
A faint dragon's might emanated from it, causing the evolved creatures around it, who were repeatedly attempting to leap over the dragon gate, to involuntarily turn their gazes toward it.
Upon seeing this, Cang Nian held his breath, while Ao Tian, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed in astonishment.
This is the first evolved creature to transform into a dragon!
Click~!
However, at that moment, the pitch-black dragon shadow that enveloped the Black King Serpent suddenly shattered!
The illusory dragon head and the faintly visible dragon claws shattered into crystalline black light.
Then, these brilliant black lights flowed into the mouth of the Black King Serpent on their own.
Hiccup~!
Immediately, the black king snake smacked its lips twice, exhaling a breath of stale air as if it were burping.
"???"
Upon seeing this, Cang Nian was dumbfounded.
Logically speaking, dragons, being legendary creatures, generally only follow a few common evolutionary paths.
The snake transforms into a dragon, and the carp transforms into a dragon.
At most, add a Western dragon, which is a dragon derived from a lizard-like creature.
The Black King Snake is a standard snake, and theoretically it should be able to transform into a dragon!
How come it ate the dragon transformation phenomenon when it was already halfway through?
However, just as Cangnian was wondering, the black king snake's skin turned from pitch black to covered with a layer of grayish-white.
Click~!
Then, with a crisp sound, a crack appeared on the top of the black king snake's head!
Then, the black king snake skillfully twisted its body and crawled out from the opening on its head.
Shedding skin!
Upon closer inspection, the black king snake looked brand new and was larger in size.
And this is just the beginning.
Next, including this molt, the black king snake molted a total of nine times before stopping.
After the black king snake finished molting, its size had changed considerably.
Originally, the Black King Serpent was 250 meters long after evolving to the fourth tier!
During this period, the Black King Serpent's evolutionary level improved significantly, and it had already exceeded 300 meters before leaping over the Dragon Gate.
Now, after nine molts, the black king snake has reached a width of twelve meters and a length of five hundred meters!
Cangnian didn't know how much the Black King Serpent weighed now, but he figured it must have reached an astonishing level.
Upon sensing the Black King Serpent's aura again, it had already reached the fourth stage of perfection!
"Uh... I don't know whether to use '居然' or '竟' at this point."
The Black King Serpent was roughly at the late stage of the fourth tier before, but it leaped over the Dragon Gate and completed the accumulation before the fifth tier.
But this big guy has already grown so big, and he still hasn't broken through to the fifth rank.
I wonder how terrifying its size will be when it reaches level five?
Seeing this, Cang Nian sighed inwardly.
Fortunately, after reaching the fifth rank, one can gain an inherent ability—concealing one's sharpness.
Otherwise, once the Black King Serpent reaches the fifth rank, its size will increase even more significantly!
Without this ability, the Black King Snake would probably have to eat dirt to survive.
There's no way around it, it's too big, we can't afford to raise it!
However, Cangnian only made a slight complaint about it.
Although it failed to transform into a dragon, the benefits that the Black King Serpent gained were quite astonishing.
It's important to know that the Black King Serpent needs many times more evolutionary resources to advance its evolutionary level than other evolving creatures.
If the Black King Serpent were to leap two minor levels and reach the fourth stage of perfection, without this leap over the dragon gate, the amount of food consumed would be terrifying!
However, the more resources consumed, the stronger the power.
Even now, the only abilities the Black King Serpent has demonstrated are its absurd digestive and growth capabilities, and its iron stomach that allows it to eat anything.
The only way is to absorb the techniques of other evolved creatures and then release them.
Even so, the Black King Serpent's current size alone suggests that its strength and defense have already reached an extremely terrifying level.
A massive body is a synonym for power!
Cang Nian even suspected that the current Black King Serpent could even contend with Ao Tian, who was already at the fifth rank.
As for myself, with my second-gear overlimit burst, I should be able to kill the Black King Serpent.
However, it should be noted that the Black King Serpent has not yet broken through to the fifth rank!
It's truly outrageous that a creature that hasn't even broken through to the fifth tier of evolution could force me to use my second-level overlimit burst to kill it.
"Haha! It seems that even if one leaps over the ninth Dragon Gate, not all living beings can transform into dragons!"
Seeing this, Ao Tian breathed a sigh of relief and laughed heartily.
Although both Cangnian and the Black King Serpent leaped over the ninth Dragon Gate, neither of them transformed into dragons!
Then, as long as I work hard and strive to reach the top, I can become the first evolved creature to transform into a true dragon!
"Tch! What difference does it make whether you transform into a dragon or not?"
Look at the size of the giant black snake now, you might not even be able to beat it!
I think that the big black snake, like the big tiger, actually has a more powerful bloodline within it.
So your dragon bloodline can't get in!
Who says that the strongest evolutionary path for a snake is to transform into a dragon?
I remember that in Western mythology there is a very powerful snake race called the 'World Serpent'!
Perhaps the giant black snake could grow long enough to encircle the entire world, becoming a true 'world snake'!
As for Ao Tian's self-deceptive self-comfort, Bai Jue just pursed his lips, blew air upwards, and pushed his own aside, showing no mercy.
Upon hearing this, Ao Tian's expression froze. He opened his mouth as if to refute, but didn't know what to say.
Could it be that my insistence on becoming a dragon is a wrong evolutionary path?
Its original form was a sea serpent, and upon hearing Bai Jue's words, it couldn't help but waver for a moment.
"Mmm~! Only one step away from transforming into a dragon!"
Regardless of whether this evolutionary path is the most correct one, it is the path I chose myself!
Regardless of what lies ahead, whether it's black or white, I'm determined to see it through to the end!
After a moment of inner struggle, Ao Tian rubbed his face with his two dragon claws, and then his gaze became firm.
Bai Jue's words were just speculation; whether they were correct was still far from certain!
Moreover, even if it is correct, it does not mean that the evolutionary path of becoming a dragon is wrong!
It's just that if you don't transform into a dragon, there are other completely different paths you can choose!
However, it has already made its choice regarding its own evolutionary path, just like the vast number of marine creatures around the Dragon Palace!
Therefore, only by firmly adhering to one's own path can one pursue the ultimate goal of evolution!
Otherwise, you'll only waste your time in regret and struggle!
