Chapter 563: Chapter 306: The Evolutionary Path of the Totem Spirit, Devouring the Black Python!
"What!!"
The subordinate’s words caused the entire Black Dragon Village main hall to gasp in shock.
Disbelief was written all over their faces.
"Repeat what you just said! People from Yang Village... have entered our Black Dragon Village’s territory?"
"How is this possible! Didn’t the third brother already set off to deal with Yang Village? How could people from Yang Village appear on our Black Dragon Village’s territory!"
"You boy... are you reporting false information?"
The second in command of Black Dragon Village glared angrily at the subordinate in front of him. It was hard for him to believe that people from Yang Village would actually appear in Black Dragon Village’s territory at this time.
Black Dragon Village had ruled over the area for so many years, and such a situation had never occurred.
At this time, for Yang Village’s people to appear within Black Dragon Village’s borders was simply absurd.
"Second in command, I’m truly not lying! Yang Village’s people... really have come!"
The subordinate was instantly on the verge of tears.
For a moment, the leaders of Black Dragon Village exchanged glances, each seeing the solemnity in the other’s eyes.
"With Yang Village’s people now appearing within our Black Dragon Village’s territory, it means... the third brother has already been killed by them!"
The chief of Black Dragon Village had a hint of murderous intent surface in his eyes.
"For so many years, few have dared to strike at our Black Dragon Village people!"
The Black Dragon Village chief spoke calmly, but his voice was incredibly cold.
And just at that moment, a mass of black fog appeared again in Black Dragon Village’s main hall.
"Lord Black Dragon!"
Everyone respectfully bowed to the black fog.
"What this guy said is true!"
A hoarse voice echoed from within the black fog, leaving everyone momentarily stunned.
"I sensed, near Black Dragon Village, the energy fluctuations of another Totem Spirit, and it’s extremely unfamiliar. I reckon it’s Yang Village’s Totem Spirit!"
The Black Python spoke faintly, but his voice carried a trace of hidden excitement.
Although Totem Spirits are powerful, they are limited to their totem space and often need to rely on a Totem Cultivator to change locations.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Totem Spirits rarely encounter other Totem Spirits unless there is an intention to devour them.
But now, it sensed Lu Sheng’s presence, making it all the more excited.
"A late second-tier Totem Spirit... if I can devour it, I will surely reach the third-tier, and then... Black Dragon Village will become a third-tier Totem Influence!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the breathing of the four late second-tier powerhouses in Black Dragon Village instantly became fiery.
Third-tier Totem Influence!
Though it appears as just an elevation by one tier, it could expand Black Dragon Village several times over!
They could even use the power of the Black Dragon to become third-tier Totem Cultivators themselves, gaining greater strength and enjoying more power.
"Those Yang Village folks... there’s a path to heaven, but they refuse to take it, choosing instead to break through hell’s gates!"
The Black Dragon Village chief sneered, then immediately cupped his fists toward the Black Dragon, saying, "Lord Black Dragon, I am willing to capture that Totem Spirit to aid you in ascending to the third-tier territory!"
The Black Dragon chief spoke with confidence.
As the chief of Black Dragon Village, he was also a late second-tier powerhouse; in his view, capturing a second-tier Totem Spirit was no difficult task.
"No need, bring my totem, I will... devour it personally!"
The black fog spoke, the pair of blood-red eyes within it flickering, emitting waves of excited energy.
"Yes!"
The Black Dragon chief responded respectfully.
...
Outside the territory of Black Dragon Village, the people of Yang Village were advancing aggressively towards Black Dragon Village’s lands.
Leading them was none other than Yang Feng.
Yang Feng held Lu Sheng’s totem, his eyes filled with endless fervor.
"Lord Blood Lizard, in front of us is Black Dragon Village’s territory!"
Yang Feng spoke respectfully to Lu Sheng.
Within the totem space, Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, a faint light flickering within them.
"Mm, I know!"
Lu Sheng spoke calmly, his Perception instantly sweeping towards the direction of Black Dragon Village. In just an instant, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow slightly.
"Hmm? There’s another Totem Spirit’s aura approaching me quickly?"
"So, this is Black Dragon Village’s little mudfish?"
Lu Sheng realized, then faintly smiled.
"I was wondering how to capture you, little mudfish, and who would have thought you’d just show up right in front of me."
"Just perfect, convenient for me!"
Lu Sheng smiled slightly, then said to Yang Feng.
"Alright, let’s wait here, Black Dragon Village’s little mudfish is already on its way!"
Upon hearing Lu Sheng’s words, Yang Feng and the others hesitated for a moment before they snapped to realization.
"The Blood Lizard’s meaning is... the Totem Spirit of Black Dragon Village has arrived!"
Zhao Yan couldn’t help but speak, but after uttering the words, a touch of nervous expression inevitably appeared on his face.
After all, it’s the Totem Spirit of Black Dragon Village, considered a dominant presence within a hundred-mile radius, and even though they’ve broken through to the second tier, there’s still some fear.
Lu Sheng paid no attention to Zhao Yan and the others’ feelings, quietly waiting.
Not having waited long, suddenly an extremely terrifying aura roared out instantaneously from the depths of Black Dragon Village.
"Hmph! As if anyone dares take action against my Black Dragon Village!"
"Since you’ve come today, then stay permanently!"
As a booming shout resounded, four figures suddenly appeared before everyone, with the leader holding a totem.
The pattern of a black python on the totem appeared extremely fierce.
"Requesting Lord Black Dragon to take action!!"
The leader of Black Dragon Village spoke in a low voice, then raised the black python totem high.
Instantly, a dense black mist roared out from the totem, accompanied by a powerful aura that stirred between heaven and earth.
"Sss...ss...ss!!"
The eerie sound caused goosebumps to involuntarily arise on everyone’s skin.
"This is... Black Dragon Village’s Totem Spirit, the Black Dragon!!"
The people from Yang Village showed increasingly nervous expressions upon seeing the giant python continuously rolling in the black mist, even glancing involuntarily towards Lu Sheng’s totem.
In front of the black python, even though their spirits were previously high, they couldn’t help but lose a bit of confidence now.
Thus, they had placed all their hope on Lu Sheng at this moment.
"Hehe, a good Black Dragon, but merely an eel, yet daring to claim to be a Black Dragon!"
A faint laugh emanated from the totem.
Causing the people of Black Dragon Village’s faces to suddenly darken.
"Outrageous!! Lord Black Dragon isn’t someone you can belittle!"
The leader of Black Dragon Village rebuked, his brows filled with rage.
"A fine dual-headed lizard, daring to speak such arrogance before me!"
Black Dragon looked at Lu Sheng’s totem, sneering coldly.
"Merely late second-tier... yet daring to speak this way before me, looks like you’re really tired of living!"
The Black Dragon spoke, instantly surging the dense black mist, abruptly charging at Lu Sheng.
Those scarlet eyes also held a greedy look.
As Lu Sheng watched the charging Black Dragon, his eyes showed no trace of ripples, only an endless calm.
"Hmm? I’m feeling a desire to swallow it?"
Just as Black Dragon charged towards Lu Sheng, an urge to devour rose suddenly within Lu Sheng.
This feeling was extremely similar to the one he experienced in the Beast Realm, as if it was an instinct from the depths of his soul.
"So... the path of cultivating Totem Spirits, besides sacrifices and nurturing Totem Cultivators, does devouring also play a role in evolution?"
"Just like before in the Beast Realm, devouring exotic beasts, or rather devouring these Totem Spirits, can also enhance my cultivation?"
Lu Sheng slightly raised his brows, realizing this point.
"Didn’t expect such a gain today!"
Upon realizing this, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but smile and shake his head.
"Since that’s the case... then I just need to swallow you!"
Lu Sheng spoke softly.
At this point, the Black Dragon had already opened its fierce bloody mouth, ready to swallow Yang Feng along with Lu Sheng’s totem.
Yang Feng’s face showed nervousness, even beads of cold sweat fell uncontrollably from his cheeks.
However, just as the Black Dragon was about to swallow Yang Feng along with the totem, an extremely horrifying power suddenly erupted from the totem.
"Call you a little eel, you’ll never transform into a dragon!"
"Let me show you... what a real dragon is!"
As the faint voice fell, an enormous blood-colored dual-headed dragon lizard phantom instantly emerged.
At the moment the dual-headed dragon lizard appeared, a powerful pressure suddenly descended on the Black Dragon, causing its entire body to tremble slightly.
As if suppressed by something.
A hint of fear began to appear in the Black Python’s eyes.
Just before the Black Python could react, Lu Sheng already opened his mouth, biting directly down on the Black Python.
In the next moment...
The Black Python’s body was directly bitten by Lu Sheng, without even a struggle, it transformed into clouds of black mist, devoured by Lu Sheng bit by bit.
As the Black Python was devoured by Lu Sheng, those Totem Cultivators from Black Dragon Village also trembled slightly, fear rising on their faces, with many turning pale.
"This... Lord Black Dragon... how could this happen!!"
A strong figure from Black Dragon Village stared dumbfoundedly at this scene before him.
No matter what, they couldn’t comprehend that the Black Dragon, whom they regarded as a deity in their hearts, was directly devoured by Lu Sheng.
