Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

Chapter 406 The Legend of Immortality

The dragon tongue grass before me had fully developed ten leaves. According to historical records, a new leaf sprouted every thousand years. This dragon snake grass looked ten thousand years old, clearly a legacy passed down through generations of masters of the Snake Palace, preserved for future generations to achieve the Divine Transformation stage.

"Could it be that this dragon tongue grass is ten thousand years old?" Liu Xing was extremely excited.

"An elixir that lasts for thousands of years! I'm going to get rich! I'm going to get rich!" Liu Xing was shouting in his heart.

Legend has it that dragon snake grass can be used to refine an elixir of life, but no one has ever succeeded in refining it. No one has ever seen an elixir of life, not even dragon tongue grass. The vibrant vitality emanating from this dragon snake grass makes it clear that it is the perfect raw material for refining a longevity elixir.

"It's a thousand-year-old elixir. Even an old monster who has reached the state of transformation would probably fight to the death if he saw it." Liu Xing carefully dug out the dragon snake grass with its roots, put it in a jade box, and affixed several seals on it to prevent the loss of spiritual energy and block all the breath of the dragon snake grass to prevent it from being detected.

At this moment, King Kong's entire mind was attracted by the old ape king, and he had already closed the six senses of the snake king's soul and put it into the storage bag, so no one paid attention to Liu Xing collecting dragon snake grass.

"In order to avoid any complications, I have to deal with the Snake King's soul myself." Liu Xing paid attention to King Kong and thought silently.

"Dad, is it really you? How are you?" King Kong choked, broke the chains with force, and held the old ape king in his arms.

"King Kong, my son..." The dying old ape king suddenly heard his son's voice, opened his eyes immediately, and a turbid voice came.

"Dad, it's me, King Kong, I'm here to save you." King Kong hugged the old ape king tightly and injected spiritual power into his body to enhance the old ape king's vitality. However, the old ape king was already exhausted, and no matter how hard King Kong tried, it was of no use.

"Gang'er, hurry up! That old witch will be back soon! Cough cough~" The old ape king seemed to remember something and said anxiously. Because he was too anxious, he started coughing out of breath.

"Dad, Dad, don't worry, don't worry, the old witch has been killed by me! Look, look, this is her soul." King Kong saw that his father was furious and knew that he was concerned about him, so he hurried to comfort him and took out a jade bottle containing the snake king's soul and gave it to his father.

"Is the Snake Queen really dead?! You really killed her!" The old ape king remained in disbelief, his eyes wide open as he stared intently at the spirit within the bottle. The miniature anaconda within the bottle now had its eyes tightly shut, sealed tightly shut. The anaconda's face was an exact replica of the queen's in life. Having been tortured by it for centuries, the old ape king naturally remembered the aura and appearance of his mortal enemy so vividly that he would recognize it even in its ash form.

"I have received help from a benefactor. He not only helped me break through to level ten, but also helped me kill this old witch." King Kong explained hurriedly.

"Good! Good! Good death! I have avenged my great hatred, and my son has broken through to level ten. I can rest in peace now, hahahaha~" The old ape king laughed wildly as if he had a last burst of light. After a few breaths, he died without a sound.

"Dad! Dad~" King Kong cried loudly, feeling grief-stricken.

After hundreds of years, he finally found his father, only to lose him in an instant. Even though King Kong was a man of steel, he was as fragile as a child, clutching his father's body in agony.

Liu Xing stood by, watching silently, not disturbing King Kong, letting him weep freely, releasing his grief. The old ape king's body was shrouded in a dead aura, clearly at the end of his rope. Even an immortal couldn't save him. It was only a lingering faith that had kept him going for so long. Now, seeing his child and his enemy dead, he felt no more worries, and he let go of his anger, dying instantly.

A full half hour passed before Jin Gang finally calmed down from his grief. His entire body was weakened, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. He silently took out an ice jade and chiseled it into an ice coffin. He placed the old ape king's corpse inside, affixed a seal, and stored it in his storage bag. He slowly stood up.

"King Kong, please accept my condolences!" Liu Xing comforted.

"Plop!" King Kong suddenly knelt down in front of Liu Xing, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" He kowtowed three times. Liu Xing didn't understand why, so he hurried forward to help him up.

"The Marshal has avenged my father for me. From now on, King Kong's life belongs to the Marshal. He will never frown even if he faces danger!" King Kong swore firmly.

"King Kong, there's no need for this. You and I are brothers, and we should work together. We must not only rule the mortal realm, but also reach the upper realm together. From now on, we must support each other and face life and death together. I won't let you take risks easily." Seeing King Kong's sincere and trustworthy expression, Liu Xing was deeply moved and expressed his position in a serious manner. At this point, King Kong was 100% loyal to Liu Xing, and Liu Xing was deeply relieved.

A few days later, the defeated snake army gradually gathered within a hundred miles of the Snake Palace and established their final line of defense. The ape army had already surrounded them, but they were just surrounding them without attacking.

Several transformed snake demons marshaled their troops, established a defensive line, and then trembled in fear as they joined forces to confront the Snake King. The Snake King was known for his volatile temper, and if they failed to resist, they would likely suffer. However, it was a fateful outcome, and with the entire clan's survival at stake, the Snake King had to take charge.

"The enemy is powerful, please ask the Snake King to come out and take charge of the situation!" Several transformed snake monsters saluted respectfully outside the palace and asked for a meeting in unison.

The Snake King remained silent, and the barrier automatically opened. Unsuspecting, the others filed in. Entering the meeting hall, they were startled to see a strange, bearded man sitting nonchalantly on the Queen's throne. The aura of an unfamiliar Level 10 demonic beast washed over them, and they were horrified, instinctively bracing for battle. One snake demon, sensing the situation, turned and fled.

With a loud bang, the fleeing snake demon collided with the barrier and was bounced back, falling to the ground. It turned out that Liu Xing had already rectified the barrier of the Snake King's Palace with a simple trick, and was naturally now firmly under the control of King Kong.

"Who are you? Where's my queen?" an elderly snake demon asked cautiously. Although the five of them were all transformed snake demons, one of them a level nine, they still stood a good chance of losing against a level ten giant demon. Therefore, they couldn't fight head-on unless absolutely necessary. Furthermore, they were now trapped within a barrier, with no escape route. The situation was dire.

"Roar!" King Kong sat expressionlessly on the throne, then suddenly roared, unleashing sonic energy within the confined space, its power magnified several times. Crucially, with King Kong's roar, Liu Xing, hidden in the shadows, unleashed his divine consciousness technique, attacking the five snake demons simultaneously with his five divine swords.
