Chapter 1

The night was as dark as ink, and the mist engulfed the lonely town as the red rain drizzled down.

On the dark earth, two behemoths, each over thirty meters tall, were locked in a fierce battle within the city. They moved with incredible speed and brute force, buildings crumbled into rubble, cars exploded, and the ground cracked like a spiderweb.

The ferocious, bloody aura howled like a hurricane, accompanied by lightning and torrential rain over Xichuan Town.

"Roar—!"

"Awoo—!"

Two savage roars shook the heavens and the earth, drowning out the thunder and echoing throughout Xichuan Town.

In that instant, all the surviving people in Xichuan Town turned pale with terror. Summoning their courage, they emerged from their hiding places and gazed into the distance.

In a flash of lightning, they saw two enormous shadows battling in the mist: a two-headed giant serpent and a ferocious black wolf.

They fought on the streets of the desolate town, scaling and tearing apart the tall skyscrapers, leaving them riddled with holes as fire and smoke billowed.

The scene was terrifying, apocalyptic, and more shocking than any science fiction movie. Countless people were stunned.

In the North District, the giant and ferocious Suanni dragon, Long Chen, watched the distant battle. His eyes filled with fear, and his tail involuntarily tucked between his hind legs.

He had thought he was strong after advancing to Level 6, but after seeing the distant commotion, he fell silent, forced to admit that he was no match for that vicious king cobra.

"That guy must have evolved at least eight times!" he thought, his eyes flashing with confidence. "If I could evolve eight times, I would definitely crush him!"

In the South District, Wu Zhan, the four-tailed armadillo, watched with burning eyes, filled with desire and envy.

"I, Wu Zhan, will definitely become that strong in the future!"

In the High-Tech Zone, a white tiger wearing black stockings on its hind legs stood on a smokestack in an abandoned factory, gazing into the distance, lost in thought.

"I remember you were also a snake. If you hadn't died, what kind of snake would you be now?"

In the East District, the gate of Base No. 1 opened, and a group of monsters cautiously poked their heads out, only to be stunned by the distant battle.

The monkey gestured fearfully yet excitedly, "That two-headed king cobra must be a foreign species, even more terrifying than the rumors suggest!"

"Among the animals mutated by human beastification, there are no such ferocious and powerful species!"

"Quickly research weapons specifically targeting snakes! If we could capture that two-headed snake and bring it to my lab, I could definitely extract a super-S-level evolution fluid!"

Behind him, the other monsters' eyes gleamed.

In the West District, at the Heavenly Serpent Gang's headquarters, Liu Youshan and the many other monsters felt the distant battle, trembling all over.

They were not far from the battlefield, and the ferocious, bloody wind stirred up by the battle howled, causing the flag emblazoned with the words "Heavenly Serpent Gang" above the gate to flutter wildly.

The monsters' eyes were filled with shock, fear, and a hint of complexity.

"I thought that king cobra was vicious and cold-blooded, but now I realize that it's not only vicious but also very manly. With the pack of wolves running rampant, only it dares to stand against them, only it has the strength to stand against them!"

"Yeah, I used to hate it, but now I actually hope it can be even more ferocious. Am I a bit of a masochist?!"

"Luckily it's here, or we, and even the entire Xichuan Town, would have been slaughtered by those wolves!"

"But the situation doesn't look good. The king cobra seems to be at a disadvantage."

At the Heavenly Serpent Gang's headquarters, everyone was worried, their feelings mixed.

They had originally hated and loathed the king cobra, but now they were all praying that it would become stronger, more ferocious, and defeat the terrifying giant wolf.

Liu Youshan was the most worried, pacing back and forth anxiously, smoking one cigarette after another, glancing outside from time to time.

"Lord Serpent, you're so ruthless, can't you defeat a single wolf?!"

"Come on, Lord Serpent, you must be the strongest and most vicious!"

"I, Liu Youshan, am still waiting to eat your meat, drink your blood, and run rampant!"

Just then, a loud bang echoed as another explosion erupted in the distance, collapsing a building and sending dust and debris into the sky. Cement, bricks, and steel bars flew everywhere, shattering the windows of the surrounding buildings.

In the ruins, a two-headed giant king cobra was locked in a fierce battle with a wolf king. Both were injured and covered in blood, but Zhang Ji's injuries were more severe. Large patches of scales had fallen off, leaving him covered in wounds.

The wolf king, Buck, had also lost large patches of fur, and its flesh was torn open, revealing its white bones. The flesh was black, indicating poisoning.

It was surprised and shocked.

"I am a dignified wolf king, a Level 5 ancient beast. Although my realm is suppressed by the rules of this abandoned ancient star, and I cannot use my innate treasures and spiritual arts, I still possess the strength of a Level 9 fierce beast, and I have inherited the killing techniques of my ancestors."

"Yet, I can't suppress this king cobra!"

"This guy is much stronger and more ferocious than other primordial species. Could it be a royal species?!"

Wolf King Buck panted, his scarlet eyes showing unease and fear.

Royal species were special primordial species, born with combat power far exceeding their peers. They could be kings at the same level and even fight beyond their level. They were naturally ferocious and terrifying, and if they survived, they would become demon kings!

They were the kind of creatures that all tribes in the Great Wilderness least wanted to provoke.

Now, on Zhang Ji, Wolf King Buck sensed a similar situation.

The opponent was clearly only a Level 7 fierce beast, but he was more ferocious and durable than himself, fighting above his level, and by many levels. He was covered in blood, yet he became even more savage. If it bit a piece of his flesh, he would spray a face full of blood in return.

Moreover, the king cobra's venom was constantly corroding his flesh and wounds. If he weren't a Level 5 ancient beast, he would probably have died already.

"Hoo~"

The opponent raised his annoying oval-shaped head again, his hood-like neck expanding, launching another attack. His combat power was simply off the charts, tireless.

"Damn it! Damn it, I don't believe I can't kill you! I am the great Wolf King Buck!"

Wolf King Buck howled, his eyes red, and lunged at the opponent once more.

Seizing an opportunity, he bit down hard on the seven-inch scale of the snake, his fangs sinking deep into the flesh, almost severing the snake's body.

"Die—!"

Buck was excited. So what if you're a royal species?! Today I will eat your flesh, drink your blood, and evolve my invincible path!

"Dream on! No one can eat my flesh or drink my blood!"

Zhang Ji's snake head eyes glowed brightly, but the wolf head's eyes suddenly rolled back.

Buck happened to meet his gaze and suddenly froze.

This was the white-eyed wolf's special skill: White-Eye Taunt.

Mentally suppress the prey.

Buck was a Level 5 fierce beast, and the White-Eye Taunt could only affect him for a split second, but that split second was enough for Zhang Ji to open his bloody mouth and sink his fangs into his head.

"Pfft, crunch~"

Half of the solid wolf head was crushed, and brain matter splattered into his mouth.

"Awoo—!"

Buck screamed miserably. He was severely injured but not dead, his life force too strong. But his eyes were filled with terror and disbelief.

"This is the white-eyed wolf's innate treasure, White-Eye Taunt! You haven't even advanced to an ancient beast, so why have you awakened an innate treasure?!"

"I see, you're not a royal species, you're an emperor species!"

"Only emperor species can awaken innate treasures in advance!"

"Heavens, in this barren, abandoned land, the ancient ruins of the Twelve God Kingdoms, there's actually an emperor species hidden... My death is so unjust..."

He let out a sorrowful and desperate roar, knowing that he was doomed.

Whoosh~

Zhang Ji's wolf and snake mouths snapped shut, completely crushing the remaining half of his head.

"Boom~"

The enormous corpse crashed to the ground, kicking up a huge cloud of dust in the ruins of the tall buildings, and blood poured down like rain.

Zhang Ji staggered, his snake body half-destroyed, but his eyes shone brightly and excitedly as he devoured the opponent's flesh and blood.

In his mind, a metallic voice rang out...

"Evolution points +100000, evolution points +100000... Accumulated 10032300/10000000"

"Eighth evolution condition met. Evolve immediately?"
