Suddenly, the Primeval Heavenwood inside Ryan Ling trembled. Ryan was shocked—ever since arriving in the Demonic World, Primeval Heavenwood hadn’t budged at all, as if dead. The reason was simple: the Demonic World and the Immortal World are mortal enemies, and the Demonic World automatically blocks out all Immortal-World aura. Because of this, Primeval Heavenwood had lost its function!
But at this critical moment, to Ryan’s amazement, Primeval Heavenwood actually reacted—and reacted violently! All its roots shot out at once, charging straight for Lady White Serpent. She’d just been basking in extreme joy, ready to claim her victory, practically drooling with anticipation.
But who could’ve guessed that at the very last second, things would flip like this? Lady White Serpent was totally caught off guard—the powerful roots instantly wrapped around her, and she started screaming. Clearly, this kind of binding was pure agony for her.
Ryan was just as stunned—the sudden eruption of Primeval Heavenwood left him completely baffled. But its intervention was a lifesaver; in a flash, Ryan broke free from Lady White Serpent’s restraints!
"Impossible! What the hell is that thing inside you, kid? How can it wrap me up like this?" Lady White Serpent shrieked, her mind utterly blown.
"Just giving you a taste of your own medicine!" Ryan grinned. He still didn’t know the exact reason, but right now he was feeling pretty damn good.
"No way! I’m a spirit snake from the Immortal World—yeah, I’ve fallen into the Demonic World, but I absolutely refuse to be strangled to death by these stupid roots!" Lady White Serpent screamed, her voice overflowing with pure desperation.
But hearing that, Ryan suddenly got it. He’d honestly had no clue why Primeval Heavenwood had gone wild all of a sudden, but now it clicked: Lady White Serpent wasn’t from the Demonic World—she was from the Immortal World! That explained everything. Only someone carrying Immortal-World aura could trigger Primeval Heavenwood’s attack. Otherwise, no matter how much she tortured Ryan, Primeval Heavenwood would’ve stayed dead as a doornail.
"Alright, Primeval Heavenwood—go wild! Suck every last drop of Immortal-World aura out of this spirit snake. Treat it like a feast, chow down to your heart’s content!" Ryan shouted, totally fired up. That was way too close—getting taken out by a spirit snake would’ve been seriously humiliating!
Lucky for him, Primeval Heavenwood stepped in. When Heavenwood makes a move, nothing can stand in its way!
