Chapter 1 A Thousand-Meter Mountain of Flesh

A thousand-meter mountain of flesh, of unknown origin, was covered in soil and rocks, with vegetation growing all over it. There was even a ten-man-embracing pine tree, lush and green.

It exuded no sense of menace, only peace and serenity.

But as Zhang Ji approached to investigate, it suddenly opened its gaping maw and swallowed Zhang Ji's three heads in one bite.

Nearby.

A group of Heavenly Snake Gang members were dumbfounded. They had never imagined that this mountain of flesh would be so ferocious and insidious. It was not the herbivore that the Ma Hall members had described, nor was it without offensive capabilities. It was merely biding its time.

It was clearly a terrifying and insidious creature.

For some reason, it was trapped in the Ma Xiang Secret Realm within the Twelve Divine Kingdoms. Now, with the help of three Ma Hall members, it had escaped the secret realm. As soon as it emerged, it bit off Zhang Ji's three snake heads and laughed with excitement.

"Snake Lord!"

Liu Youshan cried out anxiously.

Hu San's expression changed drastically. He shouted, "Seize these three Ma Hall bastards! I suspect they're colluding with the enemy to harm Snake Lord!"

"We're innocent!"

The three Ma Hall members cried out in terror but were knocked to the ground by Huang An's claw. The Dog Hall members swarmed forward and subdued them.

Hu San led the others toward the mountain of flesh, hoping to rescue Zhang Ji.

Liu Youshan shouted, "Fall back! Snake Lord isn't dead! It can't kill Snake Lord!"

As he spoke, a loud "boom" echoed from the distance, and the mountain of flesh's mouth exploded.

Flesh and blood rained down from the sky. In the bloody downpour, a snake silhouette raised its three heads high, its scarlet vertical pupils opening and closing, radiating a natural, chilling ferocity. Blood streamed down its scales, making it even more terrifying and grotesque.

"Since my debut as a snake, I've swallowed wolves and devoured tigers, slaughtering my way across the land. It's always been me swallowing others. No one has ever dared to open their jaws at me. You, you damned meatball, you're finished!"

Zhang Ji's voice was stern and cold. His three mouths descended, tearing at the creature.

"Awoo—!"

The mountain of flesh let out a miserable scream. Its flesh writhed, and a new, large mouth quickly formed, uttering an incredulous and terrified cry: "You're a demon king! You're actually a demon king!"

But then it roared madly, "So what if you're a demon king? It's not like I haven't swallowed one before! Get in my mouth!"

Zhang Ji's eyes flashed. He snorted coldly and said, "You actually stole my line. You deserve to die!"

Whoosh~

His body coiled around the mountain of flesh, his thousand-meter-long serpent body wrapped around the thousand-meter-tall mountain, and they began to devour each other. Blood flowed like a waterfall, filling the air with a bloody stench.

The mountain of flesh rolled its body, turning into a giant meatball, rolling across the ground and slamming into Zhang Ji, who was wrapped around it.

It was a terrifying scene, visually stunning.

A thousand-meter-wide meatball rolled through the ruins of Xichuan Town, with a giant serpent wrapped around it. Wherever they went, they crushed everything in their path. The ruined buildings of Xichuan Town collapsed completely, leveled to the ground.

Some places were reduced to large pits.

The meatball's rolling speed increased, leaving afterimages and sparks as it scraped along the ground. It even ignited a fire, creating a hurricane behind it, which in turn transformed into a terrifying tornado.

The entire Xichuan Town shook violently, and many building ruins, stones, and debris were sucked into the sky.

The meatball had no other means of attack, but its simple, primitive method of destruction caused astonishing devastation.

"Help—!"

A blue-furred bull, thirty meters in size, cried out in terror as it was sucked into the vortex of the tornado.

"Ah—!"

A rat screamed as it was crushed into a rat pancake by the rolling meatball, dying on the spot.

Nearby, others fled in terror.

The two behemoths battled in Xichuan Town, their eyes bloodshot with rage. Wherever they went, they destroyed everything.

"Xichuan Town is my hunting ground, and these people are my prey. How dare you run rampant here! Rise!"

Amid the chaos, Zhang Ji's cold and stern voice rang out. Then, with a loud "boom," his tail lashed out, using the first stage of the Lightning Five-Whip Strike: the lash.

His tail struck the meatball like a whip, sending it flying into the distance, across hundreds of miles of empty space, landing in the Misty Forest.

"This is the battlefield. Get in my mouth!"

Zhang Ji roared and battled the meatball in the Misty Forest, causing ancient trees to explode.

Xichuan Town district.

In the corners of some broken ruins, furry animal heads peeked out, their eyes filled with terror and the joy of surviving a catastrophe.

"It was the King Cobra who saved us, or we would have all died!"

"Yes, I heard its domineering roar just now, saying that we are all its prey and that it would not allow anyone else to run rampant here. Those words made me feel like I had no dignity as food, but at this moment, I was actually moved to tears!"

"Yes, it turns out there are advantages to being food. At least in critical moments, someone will protect us for a bite to eat!"

"How sad, this is the sorrow of the weak. You can't even withstand the aftermath of other people's battles, yet you're developing a sense of happiness and superiority from being food."

People discussed, some grateful, others angrily cursing under their breath.

Meanwhile, in the Misty Forest in the distance, the battle intensified.

"Sizzle"

Blood rained down, wetting the withered leaves in the forest.

Zhang Ji's three massive mouths descended simultaneously, devouring the meatball. His two hundred-meter-long claws were also used, each strike tearing away large chunks of flesh, making it extremely bloody and brutal.

The meatball screamed, "You actually have claws? How can a snake have claws? What kind of monster are you?!"

It was very surprised.

Since it had gained consciousness, it had lived in the Ma Xiang Secret Realm. No creature was its match. It ate when it woke up, slept when it was full, and slept for ten years at a time, oblivious to the passage of time. It had also eaten countless people who had entered the secret realm for trials.

It had evolved many times and felt invincible, but it was trapped in the Ma Xiang Secret Realm and could not leave.

But this time, when the secret realm opened, it encountered three blockheads who actually carried it out, treating it as a delicious mountain of flesh.

It was excited, thinking it was free and could evolve and grow freely in the outside world. But it never expected to encounter an unprecedentedly powerful enemy as soon as it came out: a three-headed snake-like monster with giant claws.

"No one is going to eat my flesh, and that includes you, you strange snake!" The meatball screamed hoarsely, going completely insane. It had powerful regenerative abilities and could heal quickly after being bitten.

"Damn it, you stole my line again!"

Zhang Ji's scarlet vertical pupils glowed with ferocity, and he continued to devour the meatball.

"Evolution points +500000, evolution points +500000..."

Each bite from his three massive mouths tore out three bloody holes, but the rewards were also great, with 500,000 evolution points added to his account each time.

But in the blink of an eye, the other party's flesh writhed, healing quickly, and filling the three bloody holes.

Seeing this, Zhang Ji's eyes lit up with excitement: "Good, very good! I like food like you!"

"Can you keep healing yourself like this forever?"

The meatball sneered angrily, "Hmph! Flesh regeneration is my talent. What do you think?"

Its blood-red, lake-like eyes were full of ridicule.

This evil snake was dreaming of swallowing it. What a joke. It could heal its wounds infinitely, and all it would cost was a little energy, which it could replenish with a sleep.

"I'll give you ten years, and you still won't be able to eat me!" It was full of arrogance, its bloodshot eyes looking down at Zhang Ji. "Because your eating speed is not as fast as my flesh regeneration speed!"

Zhang Ji was excited to hear this and pounced again, devouring the meatball in large bites while the meatball retaliated.

But its attacks were very limited: turning into a ball and colliding at high speed.

This method of attack seemed very primitive, but once the speed reached a certain level, combined with its terrifying weight, the resulting kinetic energy could be earth-shattering.

At least many of Zhang Ji's scales were knocked off, demonstrating its terrifying destructive power.
