Boom"
"Crack"
Suddenly, something struck the ground with incredible force, comparable to a lightning strike, causing trees and splinters to scatter and knocking Davis against a large tree that pressed against him in an X shape. Despite the agony, he remained conscious and gazed down to encounter a pair of large, slate-red eyes staring deep into his very soul.
*DING* SYSTEM ASSESSING *_____:
*NAME : AZURE BULL PYTHON*
*RANK : 3*
"Damn, I'm finished!!!!!"
A wave of paralyzing fear gripped Davis's heart as he realized that a massive ten-meter-long bull horned python was where he had just stood.Its dark azure scales reflected the ambient light beautifully, aiding its camouflage in the forest, while the horns on its head resembled sharp, dark red bull horns that curved widely.
With a low hiss, the beast lunged at him, its jaws wide open and revealing two enormous, poisonous curved fangs. As he saw the creature charging towards him with its vertical red eye, he instinctively felt the presence of Death surrounding him and leapt downward from the tree.
"Bang"
With a deafening crash, it smashed into the tree, sending splinters flying everywhere.
"Thud"
Davis hit the ground and rolled aside, standing up with a sense of relief, believing he had escaped.
But before he could react, a powerful force struck him from the left. Though he attempted to duck, he was too slow, and the snake's tail hit his side with the swiftness of a cheetah.
"Thwack"
"Arrrggghhhhh"
"Bang"
He was slammed against a colossal tree trunk.
"Cough~Cough~Cough"
Davis immediately coughed up blood and internal organs.
"Crap, am I going to die?" The intense pain made him realize his spine was fractured, ribs broken, and piercing his lungs, causing his breath to turn slow and labored.
The snake, having pinned Davis against the tree, crept closer for its meal. Davis struggled to push the tail away, but his strength was waning.
His once luxurious platinum hair was now tattered, smeared with blood and dirt, sticking to his face with sweat, but through the small gap in his hair, he could see the beast inching closer, chilling his heart and slowing its beats.
"I can't die here, no, I can't, move damn it, move!" Davis's mind shouted, but his body wouldn't respond.
Muttering to himself, "I can't die yet, I still have so much to do, I've barely arrived, I can't leave a virgin, I have a world to conquer, revenge to claim. I can't die… can't… can't… die.
"I CAN'T DIE YET!" Davis bellowed with all his strength, sending shockwaves from his body, with his fierce red eye glowing ominously.
*DING*
*DIVINE FORM ACTIVATING ______*
Like a broken dam, a tremendous surge of qi erupted from his upper right DIVINE HEART, causing the beast to sense immense power and ancient energy emanating from this small figure, prompting it to recoil in fear.
But a divine pressure immediately bore down on it, rendering it nearly powerless and forcing its head to the ground.
However, due to its superior cultivation, it managed to raise its head to see who or what had generated the pressure, only to tremble in fear at the sight of Davis before it.
Immediately after Davis roared, his golden right heart began to beat.
His form transformed as mighty horns sprouted from the back of his head, curving forward and rising towards the heavens. Twelve more golden horns followed, adorned with ancient runic inscriptions.
A magnificent pair of wings blossomed from his back, also golden, while his platinum hair shone like the sun.
All of his injuries healed instantly, and he grew to a height of three meters, his muscles became well-defined, exuding power and strength.
His once menacing red eyes now burned with a golden solar flare.
*DING.*
*DIVINE FORM ACTIVATED____*
With a thunderous surge, his cultivation ascended to the pinnacle of Rank two, unleashing a ferocious might; with every inhale, he grasped the magnitude of his newfound strength.
A wicked smile spread across Davis's lips as he emitted a low chuckle, turning toward the beast. In a voice laced with menace, he exclaimed, "Oh, how the tables have turned! The hunted transforms into the hunter—now, let the games begin."
