Chapter 1264A – The Beginnings of a Feast

The truth was that all these deaths had absolutely nothing to do with Qin Yu. Moreover, what Ye Xing tried has almost succeeded. It was happening because when that woman left, she left a trace. If she just killed another three to five more people, she would use up all her energy.

Cough cough. If he thought about it, it was really quite a pity. If Ye Xing was a bit stronger, perhaps what happened after would have been a different story.

But there were no ifs in this world, Old Turtle sighed internally. Although Qin Yu had suffered quite a bit, he had been fairly lucky on this journey.

However, at this moment, this ‘lucky’ Qin Yu felt as if he was being forged in a huge fire pit.

The Spiritual Snake had been killed. Absorbing the energy from its body would put him at the peak and surpass all the other talents…how was that possible. This entire thing was not as easy as it sounded.

Although the world was not completely fair, there was still some kind of balance. The more you want to gain, the higher the price you have to pay.

Like the corpse of this Spiritual Snake. After losing its consciousness, it was indeed a treasure. But this treasure was too big. In order to consume it completely, not only did you have to have a huge appetite, you would also have to face a challenge before that.

For example…not exploding from eating too much. The meat from the Spiritual Snake was extremely hot. If one could not even withstand this high heat, they would not be qualified to even begin eating. Or rather, even if they forced themselves to eat it, the heat would just burn through their stomach.

Strictly speaking, this was not the challenge for Qin Yu. To be more accurate, his challenge was more like a game of sitting on chairs. The table had been set, but first, you have to have the ability to sit on the chair before you can start eating.

Qin Yu was still unconscious. Although he avoided suffering physical pain, he did not know what he was going to have to face and could not prepare himself.

After he entered the Spiritual Snake, he started to automatically move within it. As he wiggled, he got pulled to the snake’s heart and was now inside it.

It was mentioned before that the Spiritual Snake was huge and rough. However, to simply describe its size would not paint a very good picture.

Now, there is a better way to describe it. Because the Spiritual Snake was huge, its heart was naturally big as well. As Qin Yu lay unconscious in it, it was as if he was sleeping in a large empty room.

It was a pity that this large empty room was not that nice to be in. As the heart contracted and expanded, all the heat from the Spiritual Snake would gather in the heart and bury Qin Yu.

Thankfully, Qin Yu had just absorbed energy from two sources of life and reinforced his vessel to become larger and more sturdy.

Of course, he would not have died. Although the corpse of the Spiritual Snake had no consciousness, it had a huge will to live. What it was trying to do was to turn Qin Yu into a heart core.

Once it succeeded, Qin Yu would forget his past and become a part of the Spiritual Snake. More accurately, he would become the Spiritual Snake’s conscience. Then, an innate spirit would be born.

This was an innate spirit and it would try its best to be reincarnated. It was created when the heavens and earth were first formed. Hence, it had this ability bestowed on it.

Therefore, at this moment, it was an independent world in the Spiritual Snake’s corpse. No one could help Qin Yu. He can only count on himself.

Within the huge Spiritual Snake’s heart, it was so hot that the color of the heart was closer to black than red. The heat surrounded Qin Yu like a coffin.

Qin Yu’s body was starting to show signs of melting. His skin as well as the other layers of his body were beginning to turn into liquid.

If nothing happened, Qin Yu would slowly melt like a cake under a hot sun. He would be absorbed by the Spiritual Snake’s heart and eventually become a heart core.

However, a long time ago, Qin Yu had mastered a remarkable ability. It was the Five Element Samsara. He could control the five elements of gold, water, wood, fire and earth to form a huge disk. This disk could crush, press, attack and defend.

This remarkable ability was from the Path of Rules. Therefore, this Five Element Samsara was something that Qin Yu could easily master as he has the basics.

So when he absorbed the sources of life and utilized the Rule Trial Field to comprehend the rules and increase his strength, the Five Element Samsara was always his first choice.

The five elements were inside.

A ball of scorching flame formed. It was hot enough to burn through all living things. Every detail was important; only when different rules were matched would it produce a ball of flame coming from the power of rules. Then it would have the power to kill.

Even the heat energy within the Spiritual Snake would become a part of the flame as well. With Qin Yu’s current physical body standards, not just the flame, even jumping into the volcano was nothing.

Although Qin Yu was still unconscious, the instinct of his soul was still intact. Moreover, the thing about removing his consciousness and forming a new heart core would involve removing his soul, and this was the critical part.

As his soul sensed the threat, it started to react. Qin Yu could feel the Rule Blaze and started to resist.

Under normal circumstances, the awakening and control of the rules would require a long time before it could be controlled.

Although Qin Yu had already comprehended this and almost completely achieved the Rule Blaze, when it came to matching he was still slightly lacking. However, this shortcoming was rapidly being overcome under the wild forging of the Spiritual Snake’s heart.

The pressure of death was the greatest force!

Hence, just as the outer surface of Qin Yu turned to liquid and it looked like he was going to be absorbed, subtle waves suddenly appeared.

But if it was just this, he would not make it in time. Because even if his Rule Blaze ability was activated, it would require some time to protect him.

Qin Yu had no time!

A low sound erupted from within the Spiritual Snake’s heart. It was an item on Qin Yu. It could not withstand the burning from the Rule Blaze.

In the next moment, the sound of wings flapping could suddenly be heard. A huge swarm of Purpleback Bluewing Ants appeared. Following that, shrieks could be heard as the high heat affected them.

In their current state, they could not withstand the burning heat from the Rule Blaze in the Spiritual Snake’s body. A strange thing happened. Under the high heat, the wings of the ants started to turn red.

All the ants began to look as if they had been sculpted from pure jade. They could withstand the scorching heat from the Rule Blaze.

Although their inherent intelligence was not high, the Purpleback Bluewing Ants could sense that their owner was in danger. They started shrieking in hopes of waking their owner up. However, it was still no use.

All of a sudden, all the ants started burning within the Rule Blaze. However, this ignition did not damage their physical body; instead they started to form what seemed like Qin Yu’s flesh.

Every single Purpleback Bluewing Ant started to resemble rain as they fell onto Qin Yu and merged onto his body.

Bzzz…

Bzzz…

Qin Yu’s skin, which had been melting, suddenly repaired itself and numerous red lights appeared. On a closer look, these red lights appeared where the Purpleback Bluewing Ants merged and formed Qin Yu’s skin.

With the lights forming the center, red lines started to appear and extend outwards, connecting all the lights.

When all the lights were finally connected, a red robe suddenly appeared over Qin Yu.

From that moment on, the heat from the Rule Blaze could no longer hurt Qin Yu.

Finally, Qin Yu started to awaken. However, even though this whole situation was extremely dangerous, it was not considered a test.

Now Qin Yu was finally at the seat of the table and had the right to begin the feast.

Truthfully, the real danger started only when he sat on the chair. This was because whether it was called a treasure or a feast, you needed to be able to swallow it.

If not, the only ending for him would be to explode into pieces!

Of all the ways to die, one of the most difficult was to eat until you exploded. It was also one of the rarest ways to die.
