637 Giant Serpen (1/2)
”W-What is this...?”
Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei's eyesight became blurry. After that, something weird started to surface in his mind. A gigantic obsidian beast charged out from the east blue ocean. Its body was as thick as the pillar in heaven with hundreds of meters in height. That was a humungous serpent that could touch the sky!
*Swoosh*
Then, the serpent flew into the sky like a dragon. It looked like it was about to leave the human realm.
*Rumble*
At that moment, a terrifying lightning landed right on its head. Like a lightning dragon, it devoured the serpent without any mercy. The size of the lightning was hundreds of times larger than the body of the serpent.
*Ah… Oh…*
”Under the torture of lightning dragon, the serpent was struggling in pain. In the end, it had to give up the dream of flying into the sky to turn into a real dragon. All it could do was to recover all its strength and return back to the sea. Unfortunately, the lightning showed no mercy to the serpent. Its might even caused the serpent to turn into ash seconds later – scattering all across the sky.
*Swoosh*
A blood-colored pearl fell from the sky into the sea like a meteor after the serpent turned to ash. Immediately, a huge patch of ordinary sea turned into a crimson sea. The blood red sea water lingered in the sea for quite some time. It was as if the serpent was trying to vent out its frustrations. However, that huge patch of crimson sea water was no match for the ocean. In the end, it was diluted by the ordinary sea water – leaving no trace behind.
That was the end of the scene that flashed through Chen Xiaobei's mind.
*Siiii*
Upon taking in a mouthful of fresh air, Chen Xiaobei finally came back to reality. It seemed that a lot of time had passed. Light from outside the window started to fill the room. Meanwhile, Song Qincheng was sleeping soundly beside Chen Xiaobei.
Laying his eyes on the green jade gourd, Chen Xiaobei thought, ”What does that scene that appeared in my mind mean? A gigantic serpent flew into the sky and hit by lightning… Could… Could this be the legendary catastrophic event?”
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei came to a realization. According to the legends, whenever a human or monster reached the pinnacle phase of certain cultivation in the human realm, they would be summoned by the heavenly realm and receive an opportunity to ascend to heaven. However, one would need to go through the baptism of the catastrophic event before the individual could ascend to the heaven! And, for those who succeeded in surviving the baptism would earn the right to leave the human realm and ascend to the heavenly realm that everyone wanted to go.
”Let's say, if the serpent was killed during the catastrophic event and the blood-red pearl is most probably its demonic pill! In other words, the crimson demonic pill is the hidden opportunity… Blood… Blood red…!”
Chen Xiaobei took some time to organize his mind and try to connect everything together.
”In the beginning, Chaos Essence Sword was the one that discovered the Beaded Blood Amber Bracelet. Then, the Beaded Blood Amber Bracelet led me to the green jade gourd. Now, the clue of Crimson Demonic Pill is presented in front of me! If I'm not mistaken, once I locate the Crimson Demonic Pill, the Chaos Essence Sword would consume all the essence within it! That will be the time for Chaos Essence Sword to evolve to next stage! This is it! I don't think I make a mistake here!”
