Glug! Glug!!!
To Gu Qijue, who had eaten rats in his past life, swallowing this snake alive now was merely nauseating and somewhat uncomfortable, rather than terrifying.
For what he had experienced was far more horrifying than swallowing a venomous snake alive.
As he swallowed it, Gu Qijue could clearly sense the Black Mamba thrashing wildly, churning within his stomach.
Gu Qijue forcibly endured this discomfort, swallowing it bite by bite.
Even after swallowing it whole, he could still feel the Black Mamba's dying struggles in his stomach and intestines.
But in that instant, a dazzling and blinding aurora swept silently across.
At the same moment,
there was a boom inside Gu Qijue's body.
The Black Mamba, still struggling, seemed to turn into a fiery serpent, as if it began to burn inside Gu Qijue.
Ah!!
The unbearable burning sensation made Gu Qijue let out a scream of agony.
As he screamed, without even realizing it, his genes, among other things, underwent a frenzied mutation at that moment.
After several seconds, Gu Qijue's eyes filled with blood, and he suddenly howled to the sky.
At this moment, his entire body sprouted patches of black Dragon Scales, and his full head of black hair visibly turned white.
Ah!!!
Gu Qijue rolled on the ground, the indescribable pain almost causing him to faint.
The blood in his body seemed ignited, and his bones felt as if they were cracking and healing repeatedly.
His heart thudded heavily.
He could feel the entire Black Mamba merging with him.
Unknown how much time passed, from his back, two Black Dragons began to grow with a sudden burst, blood splattering, but the wounds quickly healed.
Horns grew on his head, and the black Dragon Scales gradually merged into his skin and flesh.
Leaving behind faintly black dragon patterns.
His teeth became extremely sharp, even growing two dragon fangs.
When the dragon fangs grew out, the horns on his head began to merge into his skull.
Soon, from his coccyx, a Black Dragon Tail visibly extended.
Once the dragon tail grew, the two ferocious Black Dragons on his back also fused into his spine.
A few seconds later, a black dragon tattoo gradually appeared on Gu Qijue's chest.
When the lifelike, seemingly alive black dragon tattoo fully formed, the dragon tail behind also fused into his body.
Roar!!
Feeling the explosive power within and the floods of inherited memories in his mind, Gu Qijue let out a roar to the sky.
His shirt had burst open, revealing a body of perfect muscle lines, brimming with unmatched strength, the dragon tattoo on his chest seeming alive.
"Hahaha! I've succeeded!!"
Feeling the overwhelming and irresistible power within, digesting the inherited memories in his mind, Gu Qijue laughed excitedly to the sky.
At this moment, his hair as white as snow, eyes turned blood-red, a black dragon pattern appeared at the center of his brows, and under his control, the dragon fangs reverted to ordinary teeth.
He was already extremely handsome, and after the evolution upon merging with the Black Mamba, his full head of white hair added a touch of wickedness and ferocity to him.
"Master…"
Suddenly, a slightly immature voice echoed in Gu Qijue's mind.
Hmm?
Hearing this, Gu Qijue was slightly stunned.
"Master, I am the Black Mamba you devoured…"
The immature voice was full of complexity, "Master, I can't believe you're a Reincarnator… Your past life's memories are crazy, turns out I was so powerful… No wonder you dared to devour me…"
With two puffs, the double dragons behind Gu Qijue grew out, their ferocious dragon heads stretching out in front of him, speaking innocently.
Hearing this, Gu Qijue was somewhat surprised, saying, "You can see my memories?!"
Looking at them, Gu Qijue was astounded to discover that although these two Black Dragons had their own thoughts, they seemed like a part of his body, able to take over control at any time.
The Black Mamba said, "Master, we are now one, inseparable, but the control of the body is yours."
"I'm really sorry…" Gu Qijue didn't know what to say.
"It's alright, Master, now we can definitely become stronger than in our past life."
The Black Mamba's voice was immature. After seeing Gu Qijue's past life memories, it knew how hardship-laden his life had been, and harbored no resentment for being devoured.
But that was only part of it.
More so because it was originally in its infancy, during the merging process, guided by a mysterious force, it regarded Gu Qijue as a father-like figure.
"Alright! From now on, you'll be called Xiaoyao, and this lifetime's dominion belongs to us!"
Gu Qijue patted Xiaoyao's dragon head, expressing his gratification.
Roar!!
In the distance, a sudden roar was heard.
Gu Qijue looked up…
Only to see the tabby cat that tormented the Black Mamba earlier, now mutated into a grotesque monster with wings, three heads, as large as a bull, and fur like steel needles.
"Master, kill it!!"
Xiaoyao growled, glaring fiercely at the cat monster.
Roar!!
However, the cat monster lunged ferociously at Gu Qijue first.
Its murderous aura overwhelming, shaking the forest.
"Courting death!!"
An ominous grimness flashed in Gu Qijue's eyes as he stomped down, shattering the ground beneath him, his hands transforming into indomitable sharp Dragon Claws, rushing forward like a bullet.
Slash—
With a speed so fast, in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the cat monster, ripping it into two halves in a single move.
As the scorching hot blood was about to splatter, Gu Qijue deftly dodged.
"So strong…"
Retracting his Dragon Claws, Gu Qijue said, "Xiaoyao, eat it!"
But he needn't have said,
the double dragons, led by Xiaoyao, suddenly appeared in front of the cat monster's two halves, opening their bloodstained mouths to feast.
As Xiaoyao devoured the cat monster's flesh and blood, Gu Qijue could clearly feel a surge of heat within, the dragon cells unprecedentedly active.
"Indeed… I cannot cultivate by absorbing sunlight, I must devour mighty flesh and blood…"
Feeling the changes within, Gu Qijue pondered secretly.
Upon awakening as a Super Martial Artist, one can cultivate by absorbing stellar light.
But Gu Qijue was not a Super Martial Warrior, so he did not feel any difference between the current sunlight and before.
Before long, Xiaoyao finished eating and said, "Master, let's kill people, wasn't there a grasshopper in school that treated you like livestock in your past life? Let's go kill him now."
Gu Qijue's memory was Xiaoyao's memory, Xiaoyao was very aware of how much its master despised that grasshopper.
"Precisely what I intended, you return to my body first."
Gu Qijue revealed a grim smile, "The cause of past lives, the effect of this life, I will dismember him."
After Xiaoyao returned to his body, Gu Qijue swiftly descended the mountain.
The person he intended to kill was fairly well-connected.
Someone from his school, the son of the leader of a trillion-dollar conglomerate, with a grandfather who was a big shot in a certain military district.
