Chapter 411: Chapter 407: Two-headed Snake, Come and Evolve (4)
"Do you want to evolve into a Divine Beast Azure Dragon?"
Tu Xiao’an, lounging on a leather sofa, called Celestial Master Zhang over.
Celestial Master Zhang was stunned, unable to process what he’d just heard.
"I’m going to evolve you into a Divine Beast Azure Dragon. What do you think?"
Celestial Master Zhang snapped back to his senses and scoffed, "Are you kidding me?"
It took him five hundred years to evolve from a Snake into a Flood Dragon after achieving his cultivation breakthrough. To evolve from a Snake Flood Dragon into a Dragon would take an untold number of years.
He would probably die of old age before that ever happened.
Besides, this was a Divine Beast Azure Dragon. Even if Celestial Master Zhang had the chance to become a Dragon, he’d only become an ordinary one. He didn’t even dare to dream of this; it was a realm far too high.
"Just tell me if you’re willing or not."
Celestial Master Zhang couldn’t quite figure out Tu Xiao’an’s angle. He probably didn’t believe such a thing was even possible.
In truth, Tu Xiao’an was just going through the motions. He asked casually to give him a bit of a heads-up.
Asking if he was willing was, in reality, a pointless question.
What was Celestial Master Zhang’s goal in evolving from a mere Snake into a Snake Flood Dragon? To become a Dragon, of course.
That was perhaps the ultimate goal for any snake.
There are two paths for a Snake’s Cultivation. The first is to achieve enlightenment purely in snake form, becoming a Snake King who rules over all other snakes. The second is to shed one’s serpentine form and transform into a Dragon.
Generally, any Snake Species capable of Cultivation would choose the second path.
Tu Xiao’an, the House Snake, was the exception. He was taking the path of a Pure Snake, forging a unique destiny all his own.
He would become a Snake unlike any other under the heavens—indeed, unique in the entire Cosmos. He wouldn’t evolve according to any existing bloodline. Though the world offered thousands of bloodlines, he would stick to his own path.
’System, I want to purchase the Divine Beast Azure Dragon Bloodline.’
System: "Use half a Divine Beast Bloodline to offset the cost?"
’Yes.’
"DING! Half a Divine Beast Bloodline has been used as a partial payment. Host must still pay twenty million Faith Points."
"DING! Twenty million Faith Points successfully deducted from Host."
"’Congratulations, Host, on your successful purchase of the Divine Beast Azure Dragon Bloodline. Use for self or bestow upon a Battle Companion?’"
Tu Xiao’an’s eyes narrowed. ’Bestow it upon my Battle Companion, the Rank Three Snake Flood Dragon. Evolve immediately.’
Celestial Master Zhang was still mulling over Tu Xiao’an’s words when a brilliant light suddenly enveloped him. In an instant, his consciousness began to fade.
"’Rank Three Snake Flood Dragon evolution with Divine Beast Azure Dragon Bloodline initiated. Host may bestow one of their own Elemental Attribute Abilities. Please select one.’"
’Huh...’
Tu Xiao’an was surprised. ’So that’s an option, huh? I really didn’t know that.’
’In other words, I can choose one of my own Elemental Attribute Abilities and give it to the soon-to-be Azure Dragon, Celestial Master Zhang.’
’If that’s the case, then Celestial Master Zhang must have saved the Milky Way Galaxy in a past life to have the good fortune of being subdued by me as a Battle Companion.’
’The perks are just too good.’
Currently, Tu Xiao’an possessed four Elemental Attribute Abilities: Thunder, Flame, Frost, and Gold.
’Each one has world-destroying potential. Of course, since I haven’t reached my true enlightenment yet, the power of my Elemental Attribute Abilities is still limited.’
’If I have to choose an Elemental Attribute for the Azure Dragon, it has to be Thunder.’
’A Dragon wielding Thunder... It’s a perfect fit.’
’After an evolution like this, he won’t just be an Azure Dragon; he’ll be a Thunder Dragon.’
’This Snake Flood Dragon, Celestial Master Zhang, is about to make a legendary leap, becoming unimaginably powerful.’
’Bestow the Thunder Attribute,’ Tu Xiao’an confirmed.
System: "Bestowal successful."
Suddenly, a gale raged through the villa’s main hall, and a pillar of light shot toward the ceiling. Tu Xiao’an stood at its center, his expression serene.
’Is the evolution going to complete immediately...?’
’The Azure Owl’s evolution into a Super-level Creature didn’t take very long.’
After a moment, the light vanished. Tu Xiao’an was dumbstruck. Celestial Master Zhang was gone, and in his place, where the light had faded, was a massive Dragon Egg.
’What’s going on?’
’Is Celestial Master Zhang evolving inside the Dragon Egg, waiting to hatch?’
Tu Xiao’an’s eyes grew thoughtful. ’It seems evolving into a Divine Beast isn’t as simple as I thought. It’s not a quick and easy process.’
’No matter. The longer it takes, the more significant this evolution must be.’
’Store it.’
Tu Xiao’an focused his powerful Consciousness Power on the massive Dragon Egg and stored it directly in his system.
’When the Dragon Egg shows signs of activity, I’ll let it out.’
’The next time I see Celestial Master Zhang, he’ll be a completely different being.’
Tu Xiao’an let out a long breath, a thrill of excitement running through him. To have personally created a Dragon... the significance was immense.
That’s right. He was just that badass now.
Faith Points: 10,010,000.
Right, Tu Xiao’an remembered. ’Since I’m on a spending spree with my Faith Points, I might as well go all out. Who needs to save for a rainy day?’
’No, I’ll just leave a few million for myself to buy the Transformation Technique.’
Besides, the lovely people of Bai Town were providing him, their Snake King, with a steady stream of the Power of Faith every day.
The Super Mutant Dual-Headed Snake he had placed in She Mountain Snake Valley was still only Level 19 and hadn’t yet reached Rank Two.
’Looks like it’s time to give it a push.’
’System, I want to purchase the Ancient Nine-headed Serpent bloodline.’
System: "DING! The Ancient Nine-headed Serpent bloodline requires 8,000,000 Faith Points."
"’DING! Purchase successful. Faith Points successfully deducted from Host.’"
He was spending Faith Points like water.
Final Balance: 2,010,000.
Tu Xiao’an held this uniquely born Two-headed Snake in high regard. Its innate bloodline Talent was already extremely high.
’First, I’ll evolve it into an Ancient Nine-headed Serpent. The next step after that will be its evolution toward the Divine Beast stage.’
The Divine Beast stage: the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Snake.
’However, that’s still a long way off. At the very least, the Two-headed Snake has to grow all nine heads first.’
’Two-headed Snake, come forth.’
Relying on his immense Consciousness Power, Tu Xiao’an forcibly summoned the Super Mutant Dual-Headed Snake from its distant location in She Mountain Snake Valley.
The space in the main hall began to fluctuate violently, as if about to tear apart. An instant later, a terrifying, cold aura characteristic of the Snake Race erupted forth.
Terrifying. Utterly terrifying. A ten-meter-long monster appeared, its two massive heads swaying. It reared up, a menacing sight, and smashed straight through the villa’s ceiling.
HISSS...
Now at Level 19 and a full ten meters long, the Mutated Two-headed Snake was a fearsome and dreadful sight. It roared at the sky with an air of absolute dominance.
Tu Xiao’an’s eyes lit up. Although the Two-headed Snake hadn’t yet reached the Spirit Monster rank, its aura was already far stronger than that of an ordinary one.
A Super Class mutated evolution like this Snake Species was truly one of a kind—unprecedented and likely never to be seen again.
Born from a human womb, it carried the genes of an Ancient Ba Snake’s descendant.
Meanwhile, the Battle Companions playing in the villa’s courtyard stared as the roof of the villa collapsed and two massive, swaying snake heads burst through. They could only look at each other in stunned silence.
The Bull Demon King wailed, "My new villa!"
He didn’t need to be told; he knew Tu Xiao’an was up to his old tricks again.
They had just moved into this villa, and the roof was already busted.
This Two-headed Snake looked even more terrifying than the Mutated Bloodsucker Snake had. This was a true Evil Snake.
