Chapter 2

Yao Yue obtained the incantation of the "Myriad Demon Blood Devouring Technique" and many other insights from the segment of the Heavenly Demon Emperor's memory, such as the various demon beast races and the wondrous celestial treasures...

All this knowledge was something Yao Yue had never been able to access before.

Moreover, he had been a fool for several years, and no one had taught him anything.

Now, with this ready-made knowledge, he absorbed it like a sponge, not wanting to miss a single bit!

As night fell, the air turned cold, and the demon aura was overwhelming!

If it had been the foolish Yao Yue of the past, he would have been unable to withstand the cold and would have been frozen to death.

However, Yao Yue's body had been transformed by the mysterious power, making him much stronger than an ordinary person. It was as if a mighty force had been added to his frail body, enough to compare him to a regular demon soldier or a minor demon.

This was just in terms of physical strength. After all, he had not yet cultivated any primordial energy and could not be considered a cultivator.

After a night had passed, Yao Yue remained in a meditative state, eyes tightly closed, as immovable as a rock, displaying a demeanor of deep concentration!

When the sun was at its zenith and a few specks of sunlight fell upon him, his stomach emitted a few "gurgling" sounds, and he slowly opened his eyes.

He touched his stomach, a look of distress on his face, and muttered, "As the ancients say, a single grain of rice can bring down a hero. I never thought I, Yao Yue, would come to this. I must quickly find a way out of here or get something to eat!"

Yao Yue stood up, shaking off his dejection, and began to observe everything around him.

Yesterday, he had already taken a general look at the situation. Now, upon closer inspection, he couldn't help but feel despair.

"Damn it, what is this? Reviving me and then placing me in this dire situation, isn't it just to let me starve to death? Why are you so cruel, Heaven?" Yao Yue shouted to the sky, his voice weak.

Sss!

At this moment, a cold, subtle voice sounded behind him, making him turn around involuntarily.

Ah!

Yao Yue screamed and immediately jumped back, his face turning pale with panic.

It was a snake, over a meter long, with a body as thick as a human arm, adorned with various small snake patterns. It had a triangular head, clearly indicating it was a venomous snake!

The snake, with its bloodthirsty gaze, coiled down from the vines, never taking its eyes off the panicked Yao Yue. Its tongue flicked out, truly terrifying!

Although Yao Yue had inherited the memory of the demon core and had his body transformed by the mysterious blood, he was still a young boy, one who had never encountered a demon beast and had no combat experience. It was understandable that he was frightened.

"No, I can't be afraid. I need to stay calm. It's just a small demon snake, not very powerful," Yao Yue muttered, forcing himself to calm down. He had just established the will to live; how could he be intimidated by a snake?

The venomous snake stared at Yao Yue, continuously flicking its tongue. Then, losing patience, it lunged at Yao Yue's foot.

The pit was not very wide, and Yao Yue had almost no room to dodge. In a flash of inspiration, he picked up a withered branch from the ground.

"Come on, everyone is bullying me, and you, this venomous snake, are also bullying me. I'll show you!" Yao Yue, filled with determination, struck the snake with the branch as it lunged.

The venomous snake was not stupid and managed to dodge, leaving Yao Yue helpless.

After all, Yao Yue had not learned any primordial techniques, powerful demon spells, or any combat experience, making it difficult for him to hit the snake.

The venomous snake saw an opportunity, its eyes glowing with a cold light, and bit Yao Yue's thigh, just a short distance from his vital area.

If it had bitten his vital area, it would have rendered Yao Yue infertile!

"Damn it, tonight, either you die or I die!" Yao Yue cried out in pain, grabbing the snake and slamming it against the ground with all his might.

Smack, smack!

Yao Yue's will to live surged, and his strength was fully unleashed, repeatedly slamming the snake against the ground, producing a series of crisp sounds!

The venomous snake was powerful enough to survive for a while, even biting Yao Yue's arm again!

Yao Yue was in excruciating pain, feeling dizzy and almost fainting.

"I'll eat you alive!" Yao Yue, enraged, grabbed the snake and put it in his mouth.

Plop, plop!

Yao Yue, like a madman, bit the snake repeatedly, and one bite happened to tear out the snake's gallbladder.

Yao Yue bit the snake to death, his mouth full of snake blood, his eyes wide open, looking like a demon, truly terrifying!

Suddenly, Yao Yue felt dizzy and soon fainted on the ground.

The venomous snake that bit him was a small demon snake called a "Flower-patterned Snake," with an extremely potent venom. A normal person would die within a day of being bitten!

However, Yao Yue would not die from the venom because he had accidentally swallowed the snake's gallbladder, which is the heart of any snake demon, capable of neutralizing the venom and providing a great boost to his body, strengthening his organs and muscles!

Additionally, he absorbed the snake's blood, which was assimilated by his blood, already transformed by the mysterious essence.

Yao Yue was unaware of all this. He was unconscious for an unknown amount of time, only to be awakened by a sudden pain.

Oh!

Yao Yue screamed, jumping up from the ground, clutching his buttocks and hopping around, his face showing a mix of emotions. With only a few scraps of cloth covering his body, he looked extremely comical!

"Who dared to touch my buttocks!" Yao Yue shouted in anger.

Chirp, chirp!

A strange, laughing sound came from behind him.

Yao Yue turned around, finally discovering the "culprit" who had injured him!

He saw a small monkey holding a withered branch and immediately felt relieved. At least it wasn't a venomous snake again!

Otherwise, dying for no reason would be even more unjust than Dou E!

However, he noticed that the venomous snake he had fought to the death was no longer there, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground. It might have been taken away by the small monkey.

At this moment, Yao Yue heard the small monkey laughing and glared at it, saying, "Hey, little monkey, that's enough! Don't you know that mocking others is immoral? I won't hold it against you, but if you laugh again, I'll really have to do something!"

Yao Yue, who had come back to life and regained his senses, had unknowingly changed in character, a change even he didn't notice.

The small monkey seemed to understand human speech and indeed stopped laughing. It looked at Yao Yue with its lively eyes, then grabbed a vine on the cliff and disappeared in a few leaps.

"Hey, little monkey, you can't just leave after hurting my buttocks! At least help me get out of here!" Yao Yue called out anxiously as the small monkey quickly left.

Unfortunately, the small monkey seemed to ignore him.

Yao Yue shook his head in disappointment and turned to look at the abyss, his spirits immediately sinking.

"Right, I bit the snake so many times, I must have absorbed its blood. I'll try to cultivate the 'Myriad Demon Blood Devouring Technique' and see if it's really that amazing!" Yao Yue recalled the memories and slapped the back of his head.

The Myriad Demon Blood Devouring Technique consists of twelve spells. The first spell involves absorbing the blood of a small demon, using the demon's blood to forcibly enhance one's bloodline, and absorbing the innate abilities of the demon!

Yao Yue began to recite the spell, "Absorb the qi, blood, and essence of myriad demons, and refine them into one's own, transforming the demons and integrating with the heavens..."

As he recited the incantation, he gradually entered a state of clarity, and his blood began to move in a certain pattern!

A snake-like shadow, already assimilated, appeared above his head, at the top of his head.

The coiling movements, the lunging movements... all the habits of the Flower-patterned Snake appeared before him, as if he had seen them with his own eyes.

Finally, these images condensed into a point of light, entering the top of Yao Yue's head, filling the Heavenly Gate acupoint.

However, the light's energy was not strong enough to fill the Heavenly Gate acupoint.

As the light entered, Yao Yue's blood immediately began to boil, and a blood snake-like shadow separated from it, entering an inconspicuous meridian, turning it blood red.

After an unknown amount of time, Yao Yue slowly opened his eyes, a look of doubt on his face, "Could it have worked?"

He didn't feel any significant changes, but his condition seemed slightly better, and his strength seemed to have increased a bit!

"Yes, I understand the nature of snakes!" Yao Yue exclaimed in surprise, recalling all the movements of the Flower-patterned Snake. He stood up and began to move, mimicking the snake's actions!

His steps were very strange, wobbly, like a drunk person, looking very comical!

At first, his steps were very stiff, but as he continued, they became smoother, and his smile grew wider.

After about half an hour, his movements became very fast, and the path he took seemed to follow a certain pattern, resembling a snake's movement from a distance!

Suddenly, Yao Yue shouted, jumping up and exclaiming, "Ha ha, this is the habit of a snake's movement. I can't transform into a snake, but by walking like this, it's similar to the snake steps cultivated by humans. But my snake steps are more authentic, this is the essence of the Myriad Demon Blood Devouring Technique!"
