Du She was filled with sorrow and indignation.

He felt like his life was shrouded in darkness, but Hu San suddenly stroked his head. He hurriedly wagged his tail and ran over, licking the blood off Hu San's claws.

Hu San laughed with satisfaction, pointing at him and saying, "You're just too small, only one meter tall. If you were bigger, how great it would be to ride you!"

Du She felt fear and anger upon hearing this.

*You, a real dog, actually want to ride me, a fierce tiger?!*

But when Hu San's eyes swept over, he quickly put on a flattering expression again, wagging his tail madly.

Huang An approached and whispered, "Hall Master, we've found some clues. It's Ma Tang's Hall Master, Lu Wenquan, and some gang members who are causing trouble. They're the ones who spread the news that Snake Lord is a king cobra."

Hu San nodded, his paw continuing to stroke Du She's white fur on his head.

Huang An's eyes revealed a fierce glint as he said, "Do you want to deal with them?!"

He made a gesture of beheading someone.

Hu San's scarlet eyes gleamed as he pondered and shook his head.

"Don't touch them for now. The Heavenly Stele Secret Realm is about to open. When Snake Lord was modifying their bloodlines, it was clearly different from when he modified ours. Maybe Snake Lord has his own arrangements, and we shouldn't act rashly."

"Right now, we need to figure out how to fight for the inheritance light orbs for Snake Lord after entering the Dog Phase Secret Realm. That's the top priority!"

"Yes!" Huang An nodded, but hesitated and said, "Hall Master, aren't you tempted by the inheritance light orbs in the Dog Phase Secret Realm? If Snake Lord values them, they must be good. What if you kept them for yourself... Ah—!"

Before he could finish speaking, Hu San bit off one of his ears and roared with scarlet eyes, "Without Snake Lord, you're nothing! If you dare say such things again, I'll eat you! Get out!"

He spat out the ear and threw it into the mouth of the white-haired husky, Du She, who happily ate it.

Huang An retreated in terror.

Far away.

In the mist, Liu Youshan passed by with the Rat Hall's gang members. His confidant, Gao Xin, whispered, "Hall Master Hu is valued by Snake Lord, and he's indeed extraordinary. He handles matters decisively, with some of Snake Lord's style!"

Liu Youshan sighed, "If this dog thing didn't have some skills, would Snake Lord keep him around?"

"Quickly think, see if there's any way to please Snake Lord, to curry favor with Snake Lord, so that Snake Lord will bite us too and modify our bloodlines."

"We can't fall behind!"

He was very envious of the changes in Hu San and the others. They were so impressive now, walking sideways and biting whoever they didn't like. It was too enviable.

Gao Xin nodded, suddenly seeing Bei Liu wandering around in the distance. His eyes darted, and he went over.

Just then.

The Dragon Phase Heavenly Stele, the Horse Phase Heavenly Stele, the Dog Phase Heavenly Stele, and the Pig Phase Heavenly Stele successively emitted golden light, covering the sky and penetrating the eerie mist and all the buildings.

"The Heavenly Stele Secret Realms have opened!"

The golden light enveloped those born in the years of the dragon, horse, dog, and pig, and they disappeared into their respective Heavenly Stele Secret Realms.

On a half-collapsed rooftop.

Long Chen, the dragon-born, ferocious Suanni, roared excitedly.

"The Dragon Phase Secret Realm has finally opened! This is my chance, Long Chen! When I come out, what king cobra, what West District overlord, are all trash!"

"A king cobra dares to shit and piss on my head? I'll let it know what the majesty of a dragon is, what a real beast is!"

He always believed that the dragon was the strongest creature, how could a snake compare to a dragon?!

Whoosh!

A golden light enveloped him and he disappeared into the Dragon Phase Heavenly Stele.

Lu Wenquan, born in the year of the horse, bid farewell to the crowd with hatred in his eyes. With a flash of golden light, he entered the Horse Phase Heavenly Stele Secret Realm.

The scenery before him changed drastically, as if he had arrived in a wonderland. Majestic mountains and valleys loomed in the clouds, and dense primordial energy like colored ribbons permeated the area. Rare spiritual herbs and medicines were everywhere, and strange fruits swayed on the branches.

Lu Wenquan was excited and thrilled.

"This is the Secret Realm space? It's really a good place! I will definitely evolve to become stronger. King cobra, Zhang Ji, hmph, you wait, I… Ah—!"

His eyes were filled with hatred and ambition, but suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his abdomen. A large bulge appeared on his stomach, constantly moving, as if something was about to burst out.

"What's going on? What's wrong with my stomach?"

He cried out in terror. With a tearing sound, the flesh of his abdomen was suddenly ripped open, and an octopod monster with a strange, ferocious appearance crawled out of his stomach.

It was covered in blood, terrifying and hideous.

Lu Wenquan screamed in fear as the flesh of his whole body began to wither. The alien monster quickly grew larger, and a gust of bloody wind carried it into the dense forest to find other living creatures.

Lu Wenquan's breath was weak. He recalled Zhang Ji's words and suddenly realized that the other party had long sensed his intentions.

Bloodline modification was a lie. It was to use his body to incubate that monster.

"Is this the opportunity you spoke of?!"

"I will never forgive you, even as a ghost, Zhang Ji! You insidious and vicious king cobra, may you die a horrible death—!"

He let out a resentful and venomous curse, and then died.

"Whoosh!"

A gust of wind blew, and his body disappeared strangely.

In the Dragon Phase Heavenly Stele, the Pig Phase Heavenly Stele, and the Dog Phase Heavenly Stele Secret Realms, people suddenly collapsed, their bodies turned into dried corpses, and alien monsters crawled out of their bodies and disappeared into the mountains and forests.

This was a strange upheaval.

No one noticed that an evil being that did not belong here had come to the Secret Realm to participate in this trial of life and death.

Xi Chuan Town.

Zhang Ji coiled in front of the Dragon Phase Heavenly Stele. He could vaguely sense that the alien seeds he had left behind had sprouted, and were constantly hunting living creatures, searching for hosts, and growing strong.

"Evolution points +100000, evolution points +80000…"

A metallic prompt kept ringing in his mind.

A smile appeared on Zhang Ji's lips.

Some of these evolution points came from alien seeds, and some came from evil breeds modified by his bloodline. They were killing and devouring in the Secret Realm, and Zhang Ji, as the "Evil God Mother," was sharing the evolution points provided by his "children" outside the Secret Realm.

"One day, evil breeds will be everywhere in the heavens and myriad realms, and there will be countless alien species. I will no longer have to worry about not having evolution points."

Zhang Ji's scarlet vertical pupils revealed a look of anticipation as he looked at the Dragon Phase Heavenly Stele beside him and gently touched it with his claws.

"Brother, give me the inheritance!"

The Dragon Phase Heavenly Stele did not respond.

"Boom!"

Zhang Ji suddenly swung his tail and struck the Dragon Phase Heavenly Stele. The powerful force shook the Heavenly Stele, causing it to tilt, and the surface cracked like a spider web, as if it was about to explode.

After Zhang Ji advanced to the Ancient Beast, his strength was far greater than before. Every move and every style truly had the power of indestructibility.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Golden rays flew out of the Dragon Phase Heavenly Stele, rushing into Zhang Ji's body as if they were afraid that Zhang Ji wouldn't want them.

Those were the Dragon Phase Heavenly Stele's inheritance secrets, including old techniques and ancient methods.

Zhang Ji sneered at the Dragon Phase Heavenly Stele. It was so cheap. Touching it gently wouldn't get him the inheritance. Only a beating would do the trick.

Looking at the cracked Dragon Phase Heavenly Stele, Zhang Ji was disappointed. "I thought this Heavenly Stele was a treasure, but now it can't even withstand my tail strike. It seems like it's just trash."

Zhang Ji sighed and turned to the Dog Phase Heavenly Stele.

In front of the Heavenly Stele, many people were surrounding it, touching it and receiving the inheritance, but each person could only get one inheritance, and they were all happily and excitedly asking each other and comparing.

The human heart's desire for comparison and vanity has existed since ancient times.

Even if they have turned into monsters and beasts, it is still the same.

"Whoosh!"

Zhang Ji came. His huge snake body stirred up a bloody wind, and his ferocious aura submerged the surroundings. Everyone screamed and scattered.

He had just raised his snake tail, but before it could strike, the Dog Phase Heavenly Stele shook, and dense golden rays flew out, rushing into his body.

Zhang Ji laughed, "You know what's good for you!"

He left triumphantly.

Around him, everyone saw this scene, and their eyes turned red with envy and their teeth were clenched with jealousy.

"People's hearts are not what they used to be, and the Heavenly Stele has become snobbish!"

"Seeing that the king cobra is ferocious, it gives him so much inheritance, but to us, it only gives one!"

"No wonder the king cobra is powerful. If I had been given so much inheritance, I could be as strong as the king cobra, no, I would be even stronger than him!"

They were jealous and envious. Some people immediately imitated Zhang Ji's actions, biting and hitting the Heavenly Stele, but even if their heads were bleeding, they suffered concussions, brain hemorrhages, and lost teeth, the Heavenly Stele remained intact.

They had no choice but to give up in frustration and reluctantly admit that their strength was indeed far inferior to that of the king cobra.

Zhang Ji also went to the Horse Phase Heavenly Stele and the Pig Phase Heavenly Stele, and obtained a large number of inheritances.

Only a few of these inheritances, ancient methods, and old techniques were useful to him. Most of the others were useless because they were all about using the eerie mist to cultivate, but they greatly increased his knowledge, became his foundation, and gave him a deeper understanding of evolution and hunting techniques.

Leisurely wandering around Xi Chuan Town, he unconsciously came to the Tiger Phase Heavenly Stele.

This Heavenly Stele was the first to appear, standing in the Gaoxin Park. The magnificent and tall stele body was not fully visible in the mist, and it exuded the ancient aura of vicissitudes of time.

"My Snake King Fortress is lacking some floor tiles, and this Heavenly Stele seems good. Anyway, the Secret Realm has already been opened once, so it shouldn't be needed anymore. It's perfect for me."

Zhang Ji moved around it, and suddenly swung his tail, striking it with a "boom."

The cracks in the Tiger Phase Heavenly Stele spread like a spider web. Strange energy flowed on it, healing the Heavenly Stele.

Zhang Ji struck again.

"Crack!"

The cracks in the Heavenly Stele widened, and strange golden light emanated from within. Upon closer inspection, it was actually rows of ancient words embedded in the interior of the Heavenly Stele.

Zhang Ji was surprised, "Why are there words hidden inside?"

He narrowed his eyes and looked closely, slowly reading, "Tiger Phase Heavenly Stele Ancient Forbidden Technique…"
