Boom! Boom! Boom!
A pale blue light surged forward rapidly.
At the same time, a chilling cold spread throughout the cave.
"Brother Ye, are you sure this will work?"
Liu Han looked at the three explosion talismans in Ye Wangchuan's hand, his expression filled with doubt.
Although the talismans crafted by the Third Elder of the Ye family were indeed powerful...
But could the talismans that Ye Wangchuan could activate really compare to a third-level divine ability?
"Don't worry."
Ye Wangchuan remained completely calm as he quickly wrapped the three talismans around a stone.
Then, he hurled the stone directly toward the icy blue light!
The force of the second-level power erupted, and the stone shot toward the light like a bullet!
Just as the two were about to collide, Li Luo's mind stirred.
In an instant, the three talismans glowed red!
"Get behind the stone."
Ye Wangchuan decisively pulled the others behind a large rock.
Just as Liu Han was filled with doubt...
Boom!!!!
Boom!!!!
Boom!!!!
Three earth-shattering explosions rang out.
The deafening noise reverberated endlessly within the narrow cave.
A burst of flames pierced through the blue light and shot toward the third-level giant snake!
The explosion talismans dealt fire-based damage.
And the blue light spat out by the giant snake was primarily composed of icy wind.
Naturally, it couldn't withstand the flames.
As the raging flames surged forward...
The giant snake, which had been spitting out its divine ability, froze in place.
In the next moment, it began to feel a searing heat.
And this heat was growing more intense by the second!
"Hiss—!"
The scorched snake finally reacted and immediately turned to burrow into the stone wall!
But unfortunately, the explosion spread too quickly.
Boom!!!!
Boom!!!!
The entire cave instantly collapsed under the force of the explosion talismans.
The ground beneath Ye Wangchuan and the others also gave way!
The three of them immediately began to plummet downward!
Ye Wangchuan quickly pulled out a spear and stabbed it into the remaining section of the stone wall, using his other hand to grab hold of Li Luo.
As for Liu Han, there was nothing he could do.
Ye Wangchuan simply didn't have a free hand to save him.
But Ye Wangchuan wasn't too worried. Falling into an abyss was a common trope for protagonists in novels.
Liu Han, being a child of destiny, couldn't possibly die from a fall!
As for saving Li Luo, it was just a way to earn some goodwill and make it easier to take advantage of him later.
Ye Wangchuan controlled his strength, allowing himself to slide slowly down the stone wall into the bottomless abyss.
There was bound to be some great opportunity down there!
...
...
Just as Ye Wangchuan had predicted.
Liu Han, falling from a great height, didn't feel any pain upon landing.
He looked down in confusion and found himself in a vast, white underground snowfield.
The snow on the ground was made of some unknown material, incredibly soft, allowing him to survive the fall unscathed.
Moreover, the snow glowed, illuminating the area as brightly as daylight, even deep underground.
Liu Han shivered uncontrollably.
It was cold. Too cold.
The temperature in this snowfield was around minus thirty degrees Celsius.
Liu Han, an ordinary person whose cultivation hadn't even reached the first level, naturally found it difficult to withstand such extreme cold.
He looked around, trying to find a place to shelter from the cold while waiting for Brother Ye to rescue him.
The snowfield stretched endlessly in all directions.
As Liu Han scanned the area, he suddenly noticed something resembling an altar several hundred meters away.
Swish— Swish—
Liu Han had just taken a few steps toward the altar when...
Boom!
A massive, five-hundred-meter-long flesh-colored white grub fell from the sky!
Upon closer inspection, Liu Han realized it wasn't a grub.
It was the third-level giant snake from before!
The snake's body was covered in bloody wounds, its scales falling off in large patches, revealing cracked white bones beneath.
Its head was the most severely damaged, looking as though it had been roasted over a fire for three days and nights, with the flesh peeling away to expose the bone.
It lay on the ground, its body weakly rising and falling.
Liu Han was utterly shocked.
Were the explosion talismans Brother Ye used really that powerful?
Even a third-level beast could be so easily crippled!
At that moment, the giant snake on the ground noticed Liu Han.
Sensing that Liu Han had no spiritual energy in his body—that he was just a weakling whose cultivation hadn't even reached the second level—the snake arrogantly rose up and hissed at him.
"Hiss—!"
Liu Han panicked and immediately turned to run!
A starved camel is still bigger than a horse. He wasn't foolish enough to think he could fight the snake.
Although the front half of the snake was severely injured, its rear half had been hidden underground, and the explosion talismans had a limited range, so the rear half of the snake was relatively unharmed.
Boom—
The snake's tail swung toward Liu Han at an astonishing speed.
Meanwhile, Ye Wangchuan was slowly sliding down the stone wall.
Seeing the snake, now resembling a living racetrack, lunging toward Liu Han, Ye Wangchuan sighed helplessly.
He definitely wouldn't make it in time.
So...
Liu Han was about to unleash his hidden power!
As the massive snake tail bore down on him, Liu Han felt a wave of despair.
This is it. I'm done for.
Just then...
"Hmph! A mere snake dares to act so arrogantly! Watch as this old man destroys you!"
Old Qin's voice emerged from within Liu Han.
In the next moment...
Whoosh!
A necklace flew out from Liu Han's clothing.
On the necklace was a piece of jade.
The jade flashed with a green light, and a massive green hand emerged!
The hand was a thousand meters long, and compared to it, the third-level giant snake looked like a toothpick.
Tiny and insignificant!
"Die!"
With Old Qin's command, the hand slammed down, crushing the snake instantly!
The force of the hand's impact sent waves of snow flying across the snowfield!
After a moment, the green hand dissipated.
All that remained on the snowfield was a thousand-meter-long handprint and the twisted corpse of the giant snake.
[Ding! Host has assisted in defeating a third-level early-stage enemy. Additional rewards for defeating a higher-level enemy: +500 Villain Points.]
On the stone wall.
Li Luo stared dumbfounded at the scene.
Meanwhile, Ye Wangchuan began to analyze the situation.
Hmm? Does Liu Han have a hidden power-up? Or is there a powerful figure assisting him, like an old mentor?
Judging by Liu Han's slow progress over the past few weeks, not even reaching the first level, it's clear he doesn't have a system.
After all, he's just a native of this world.
Ye Wangchuan carefully observed the scene.
Suddenly, he noticed Liu Han walking over and retrieving a necklace he had spat out.
"Hmm... So it's an old mentor."
Ye Wangchuan confirmed the answer in his mind.
At the same time, he sighed inwardly.
If it's an old mentor, then he couldn't take this golden opportunity for himself.
After all, it's bound to its owner.
Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
