Its huge body trembled as it breathed.
The entire cave trembled.
Thud, thud, thud…
in the quiet cave, suddenly footsteps could be heard.
Sensing the movement in the cave, the Ice Crystal Python slowly opened its eyes.
The huge vertical eye quickly discovered the uninvited guest in front of it.
Looking at this new creature, the Ice Crystal Python’s eyes were filled with confusion.
This was because in the Blizzard Realm, let alone humans, there weren’t even any human-like creatures.
Therefore, when it saw the masked man, the Ice Crystal Python’s first reaction was not to chase him away, but to size him up curiously.
The masked man seemed to know what the Ice Crystal Python was thinking. He pointed at the Ice Crystal Python’s forehead with his right hand.
In the next second, the two sides seemed to have established some kind of channel between them.
The man and the python were able to communicate through the channel without any obstacles.
“What are you?’1
The Ice Crystal Python looked at the unimown creature in front of it and asked curiously.
The masked man replied calmly, “I’m the one who let you live.”
“Let me live?”
Sensing the message from the masked man, the Ice Crystal Python’s lifeless eyes were once again filled with vitality.
There was nothing more exciting than living.
“Are you serious?”
Worried that rhe masked man was deceiving it, the Ice Crystal Python asked again.
The masked man didn’t say anything and cut open his palm.
As a drop of black blood appeared in his palm, the Ice Crystal Python’s face immediately revealed a greedy expression.
Although it did not know what this drop of blood was, the Ice Crystal Python could sense that its body was eager to devour this drop of black blood.
As long as it could devour it, the blood would definitely be of great benefit to it.
Thinking of this, the Ice Crystal Python rushed toward the masked man impatiently.
Boom!
When its huge body moved, the ground immediately began to shake violently.
However, just as the Ice Crystal Python was about to reach the masked man, its body suddenly stopped.
It wasn’t that the python stopped willingly, or rather it had been immobilized by something in the space.
“Junior, has no one ever told you that when facing an existence stronger than yourself, you need to learn to restrain your inner greed?”
The masked man thought that his words would make the Ice Crystal Python calm down and listen to him seriously.
However, he soon realized that he had overestimated the Ice Crystal Python’s intelligence.
Although this Ice Crystal Python had lived for a full 3,000 years, its intelligence level was similar to that of a five or six-year-old human child.
The masked man could sense that the other party was already attracted by his blood essence and completely ignored what he said.
At the thought of this, the masked man suddenly grunted.
Immediately after, a black dragon with a human face and a dragon body appeared silently behind the masked man.
When the black dragon appeared, the surrounding space began to distort.
The Ice Crystal Python, which had been in a frenzy, finally calmed down.
However, this silence was not voluntary bur forced.
It was frightened by the black dragon behind the masked man.
It felt that if it was a little more restless, the dragon in front of it would let it know what true death was.
Seeing that the Ice Crystal Python was no longer acting restless, the masked man began to explain his purpose of finding the other party.
“Junior, I can give you a drop of my blood essence.”
“With this drop of blood essence and the special way of the heavens environment here, I can guarantee that your cultivation will increase to the Apotheosis Stage within a thousand years.”
“However, there is a corresponding price for any gift. After receiving my blood essence, you must also help me complete some things.”
“What is it?”
“It’s very simple. 1 need you to gather all the pythons in the entire realm and lead them to fight against the other cultivators who will appear here in the near future.”
“You want me to lead the others to fight?”
The Ice Crystal Python used its own way of thinking to try to understand the masked man’s request.
“If you understand it this way, there’s no issue with that.”
“Understood, I agree!”
As the Ice Crystal Python agreed to the masked man’s request, a special contract seemed to have been formed between the two of them.
The Ice Crystal Python sensed that if it went back on its word and did not fulfill the masked man’s request…
It might encounter some great horror in the future.
However, it didn’t matter. The python didn’t intend to go back on its word anyway.
Seeing that the matter was settled, the masked man passed his blood essence to the Ice Crystal Python in front of him.
After swallowing this drop of blood essence, the Ice Crystal Python s body quickly changed.
Its body, which had already become stiff and fat, began to shrink.
The scales on its body also began to fall off continuously during this process, and new scales grew out.
Overall, the Ice Crystal Python had undoubtedly shrunk a lot.
From its original size of more than 100 meters, it had now become 50 to 60 meters long.
However, the shrinking of its body did not affect the Ice Crystal Python’s strength. Instead, it increased its strength even further.
This was because its body was actually constantly shrinking. When it grew back to its original size, its strength would be many times stronger than it was now.
Other than its body size, the biggest change to rhe Ice Crystal Python was that some of its organs had mutated.
There was a bulge on his head as if something was about to be born.
Also, its venomous fangs began to loosen, and many tiny white spots could be seen on its gums.
These white dots were the continuously growing fangs.
it was obvious that the masked man’s drop of blood had made the Ice Crystal Python transform into a dragon.
After a while, it was no longer an Ice Crystal Python, but an Ice Crystal Dragon.
After confirming that the Ice Crystal Python’s performance did not disappoint him, the masked man did not leave immediately.
He came to an ice spring guarded by the Ice Crystal Python and cut open his palm again.
This drop of blood essence was immediately diluted countless times by the ice spring.
The masked man did not stop there.
He then took out an incomplete jade and threw it into the ice spring.
As the jade continued to sink into the depths of the ice spring, the originally blue lake slowly turned into a deep black jade color.
“After you gather the other pythons here, let them enter this ice spring to cultivate. Understand?”
The Ice Crystal Python nodded, indicating that it understood.
After that, the masked man disappeared from the Ice Crystal Python s sight.
If it wasn’t for the black jade ice spring behind him and the changes in its body.
The Ice Crystal Python could not believe the existence of the masked man.
Not long after, the cave returned to silence, leaving only the sound of rhythmic and powerful breathing.
At the same time, the masked man who had left the Blizzard Realm had returned to the land of chaos.
Looking at the chaos energy that kept passing by him, this person was at least at the Apotheosis Stage, or even higher.
This was because only Apotheosis Stage cultivators who had refined their Qi into Apotheosis Stage could freely enter the land of chaos without being affected by the chaotic energy inside.
The masked man looked at the Blizzard Realm in front of him, and his eyes flashed.
At this moment, he had successfully interfered with the changes in the Blizzard Realm.
The creatures in this realm would develop at an extraordinary speed.
And because the way of the heavens of this realm was not at a high level, its growth speed might not be able to keep up with the progress of other living beings in the realm.
At that time, the way of the heavens would fall into a deep sleep, similar to the process of turning into a cocoon.
During this process, the entire realm would be extremely repulsive to outsiders. Only cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage could enter.
However, in the face of the Ice Crystal Giant Python that had a cultivation comparable to rhe Apotheosis Stage, a mere Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was just a dish.
Thus, this also meant that it would take a long time for the outside world to know about the situation in the Blizzard Realm.
He could use this time to do many things..
