Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son

They were surrounded by densely packed snakes. The skin of these snakes was black, with only a red line running down their backs. Their eyes were red, and two fangs could be seen when they opened their mouths.

Where they had landed just moments ago, there was a pool of black venom sizzling with an evil aura. Cheng Qi saw these snakes staring at them with cold eyes, as if they would pounce at any time. The whips in his hands also ignited yin fire.

“They are Tianyin snakes.” After Li Tianyan saw the appearance of these snakes clearly, surprise appeared on his face.

Smelling the food, Tao Wu, who had been at odds with Li Tianyan since the Shura battlefield, finally couldn’t help but run out. “There are so many Tianyin snakes; why don’t you hurry up and kill a few more?”

Tan Eyu also appeared immediately. She looked at the black snakes in front of her and licked the corners of her lips. “It’s so full of yin energy.”

Li Tianyan used his spiritual consciousness to check and found that they were indeed in a snake nest. Tianyin snakes were spread across thousands of miles, ranging from Qi condensation to Core formation level. Li Tianyan even sensed the aura of the Nascent Soul Snake King.

In order to find a way out as soon as possible, Li Tianyan released his spiritual eyes and instructed them to explore further.

“Young master, can Tianyin snakes be eaten?” Cheng Qi couldn’t help but ask curiously when he saw that both Tao Wu and Tan Eyu wanted these snakes.

“The Tianyin Snake is very beneficial to Yin cultivators, but the taste is unclear,” Li Tianyan frowned. It didn’t look very tasty, anyway.

While they were talking, two Tianyin snakes with core formation aura in front of them could no longer hold back. They rushed toward them with their huge mouths open. The movements of the core formation snakes were like a signal. A group of large and small black snakes gathered around them and rushed to attack.

Li Tianyan’s eyes were sharp, and he punched one of the core formation snakes with a mysterious thunder fist. The fist mark, imbued with the breath of thunder and lightning, hit the snake that rushed toward him, creating a bloody hole in its head with one punch.

Just after finishing off one of the core formation snakes, the other one was already closer. Its huge black mouth trembled and opened wider, ready to swallow the person in one bite.

Li Tianyan took out the Sky Thunder Talisman and launched it toward the snake’s mouth, blasting the head to pieces.

Cheng Qi also released the Nether Fire to weave a fire net, protecting the two of them. As soon as the venom spat by the Tianyin Snakes touched the fire net, it instantly burned into a plume of black smoke. He swept the long whip in his hand, and the surrounding black snakes were cleared away.

Tan Eyu was not idle either. She turned into a ghost and shuttled among the snakes, her dagger flying in her hand, harvesting the lives of the Tianyin snakes.

The group was killing snakes in the den. In less than a moment, the place was littered with corpses. However, there were many Tianyin snakes. After killing one group, more snakes rushed toward them. Li Tianyan killed the appearing core formation snakes while also paying attention to the movements of the Snake King.

When the bodies of the Tianyin Snakes were stuffed into a storage bag, Li Tianyan took out the light mirror to check. He found that the spiritual eye had located the exit of the barrier. He immediately signalled to Cheng Qi, “Xiao Qi, let’s go northwest.”

It might not be safe once they left the barrier, and they had to keep their true spiritual energy to deal with other danger. Now that he had found the exit, Li Tianyan was not willing to fight anymore. He swung his knife at the snakes blocking their way and led Cheng Qi toward the direction of the barrier.

The dormant Snake King noticed that the two of them wanted to escape, and a heavy pressure from the Nascent Soul stage came from the snake group. “You two want to run after killing so many of my kind.”

The voice of the Snake King echoed in the consciousness of Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi. Without looking back, the two of them quickly moved forward, launching attacks to clear the way.

Just when they were about to approach the barrier, a Nascent Soul monster with a human body and a snake’s tail sprang out.

Sensing the terrifying coercion coming, Li Tianyan threw a handful of talismans backwards. Cheng Qi swung his long whip and activated it. In an instant, dozens of thunder talismans exploded at the same time, blasting toward the Snake King with thick yin fire.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Snake King was unprepared and was hit by the thunder, Li Tianyan took Cheng Qi and rushed out of the barrier, not forgetting to take back his pair of spiritual eyes before leaving.

After leaving the barrier, the Snake King did not appear again, but Li Tianyan did not dare to be careless and ran a long distance before stopping.

Cheng Qi, who was still laying on Li Tianyan’s shoulder, half stood up and looked behind him. When he saw no sign of the Snake King, he exhaled heavily. “The Snake King’s aura was more terrifying than the Nascent Soul puppet. Fortunately, you could run fast.”

“But this also proves that we are no longer in the Hengwu Continent.” Li Tianyan put Cheng Qi down when he saw that there was no danger nearby.

“By the way, young master, was there something hidden in that passage?” Cheng Qi couldn’t help but frown when he thought of the feeling of being spied on just now.

“That’s the path of heaven’s choice.” Li Tianyan looked at Cheng Qi’s blank eyes and explained with a smile.

Each top continent was surrounded by large and small landmasses, and the Road of Tianxuan was the passage for the top continent to absorb the children of destiny from all small worlds.

Its requirements were extremely strict. If they entered the passage with luck, they would be sucked into the endless void to fend for themselves.

“So, this is a top continent?” Cheng Qi’s eyes were filled with surprise and joy. Li Tianyan was born in a top continent before, but then he was puzzled. “Didn’t Sect Master Haoyue say that Infinite Island only had the Void Refining Stage?”

Cheng Qi remembered Li Tianyan’s original place, where there was a combined Mahayana on top of Void Refining Stage.

“Infinite Island may really have been just a small island in the top continent,” Li Tianyan guessed.
