Indeed, relying solely on Chen Feng's Flame - Devouring Wave Ruler, it was indeed difficult to pose a fatal threat to the fifty - thousand - year - old big snake, equivalent to a level - 70 soul beast.
However, Chen Feng's strength was far more than that.
While the fiery fluctuations of the Flame - Devouring Wave Ruler were still echoing in the air, Chen Feng had already followed up with the next move.
"Eight - Extreme Collapse!"
His voice reverberated low in the night, without the slightest waver, yet it was as shocking as thunder.
At that moment, his fist was not just a simple release of physical strength but transformed into a beam of light that broke through the air, carrying an icy coercion capable of tearing apart the heavens and the earth, like a judgment descending from the sky.
Chen Feng's figure was extremely swift, as if turning into a bolt of lightning, lunging straight at the giant snake.
As he got closer step by step, the temperature in the air seemed to drop sharply.
The path of his fist's advancement left behind patches of ice flowers. They slowly bloomed in the night sky, beautiful yet deadly, like a frozen nightmare, sealing off all hopes and escape routes.
In the big snake's eyes, the flash of fear, although hidden extremely quickly, still did not escape Chen Feng's sharp perception.
It felt an unprecedented pressure. The big snake realized that this human's power far exceeded its expectations.
In this extremely short period of time, Chen Feng had continuously unleashed two attacks that were incredibly powerful.
With Chen Feng's storm - like and thunderous offensive, there were successive tearing roars in the air. It was the howl of power, the venting of the fighting spirit.
Under this raging power, a long - forgotten shudder came from the depths of the big snake's instincts. It realized that it had fallen into an unprecedented crisis.
At that crucial moment, a bottomless fear flashed through the big snake's eyes.
This fear was not only because of Chen Feng's fierce attack methods but also because at this moment, it truly felt that even a fifty - thousand - year - long life was so fragile.
The Flame - Devouring Wave Ruler swept in like a towering sea of fire, while the Eight - Extreme Collapse carried the extremely cold power capable of freezing everything. The two opposing energies collided and merged on the battlefield, blooming with a strange beauty of destruction and creation intertwined.
The scene at this moment was like an apocalypse - the lava of a volcano meeting an ancient glacier. The intense collision of fire and ice did not cancel each other out as expected but instead inspired a new and even more powerful force.
For the big snake, the shock of this power exceeded all the experience and wisdom accumulated in its fifty - thousand - year - long life.
In the face of this unparalleled power, its powerful body suddenly seemed so tiny, like an ant under the might of the heavens.
It tried to struggle, to break free from this desperate restraint, but its huge body was just a sinking object in the face of the power released by Chen Feng, as if being dragged into a lightless abyss by ruthless fate.
At that life - and - death moment, countless past images flashed through the big snake's mind. Memories of its transformation from an unremarkable snake species to the overlord of fifty - thousand years. It had once been so proud to think that it was the ultimate master of this world.
But Chen Feng's appearance had severely hit its self - esteem and shattered its arrogance.
Who exactly was Chen Feng, this human?
How did he step onto the peak of the giant beasts in this long and cold evolutionary chain and challenge the old order of the universe?
Every time it recalled his offensive, an indescribable shudder welled up in the big snake's heart.
"Damn it, isn't my snake life going to end here?"
The big snake mocked itself in its heart. It was an attempt to salvage its unwillingness and also a helpless sigh towards fate. It had never thought that one day it would feel such a strong shadow of death in the face of a formidable opponent.
Its body began to tremble uncontrollably. It was an instinctive reaction, a panic deep in its soul.
A jumble of emotions - fear, shock, resentment, and even a certain awe towards the powerful - intertwined, forming an unresolvable psychological knot.
As Chen Feng's attack, condensed from the Ice - Fire Double Heaven, fiercely bombarded the big snake, the entire forest seemed to tremble.
Giant trees swayed, and fallen leaves fluttered, as if nature itself was terrified by the power of this blow.
That devastating strike was not just a release of power. The fusion of ice and fire created an unprecedented battle of desperation.
The big snake's huge body became an epic battlefield under the power of ice and fire. Each impact was like the god of fate pounding on the heart of the world.
The flames of the Flame - Devouring Wave Ruler were like the flames of the underworld, trying to burn the big snake's scales to ashes one by one. The searing pain penetrated every cell of it, making it feel as if it was struggling in the lava.
At the same time, the icy power released by the Eight - Extreme Collapse was like the cold air from the netherworld, attempting to solidify the big snake's soul.
The bone - deep coldness made its blood seem to freeze, and a sense of the fragility of life followed, causing the king of the forest to doubt its own existence.
In the intense alternation of extreme cold and extreme heat, the big snake experienced a profound pain and struggle.
Its huge body kept writhing, trying to escape this unbearable extreme pain. But no matter how much it struggled, the power of the attack was like a shackle of fate, locking onto it tightly and giving it no chance to escape.
Under the extreme confrontation of fire and ice, the big snake's body seemed to become an inescapable purgatory. Every muscle under its scales was experiencing an unprecedented tearing and burning.
It could clearly feel its extremely strong vitality gradually fading away. It was a deep sense of despair, as if the whole world was proclaiming its doom.
Suddenly, a deafening noise tore through the tranquility of the forest, as terrifying as the sky falling and the earth splitting.
The giant ruler in Chen Feng's hand was like the hammer of the god in charge of thunder, gathering all his anger and power, and bombarding the big snake's head mercilessly.
In the face of that unparalleled power, the big snake's head shattered instantly, like porcelain being broken mercilessly. Blood and brains splattered everywhere, creating a messy scene.
The lamp of life was completely extinguished at this moment. The once - majestic giant in the forest lost all its dignity and vitality.
With the end of its life, a black soul ring slowly rose from the big snake's remains. It was like the last dim glow in the night, carrying endless loneliness and desolation, yet also having an eerie beauty.
Through this abrupt and mysterious black halo, it seemed that the big snake's soul was still wandering in this world, and its final gaze was fixed on Chen Feng's figure - the human who had brought it the ultimate judgment.
