97: Chapter 97 Which prince are you...?

"A Formation Master... He is also a Formation Master!!"

The Scarlet Flame King was so angry that he punched the light screen, letting out a roar of impotent rage.

"Guard the cave entrance for me!!"

"I don't believe he can survive in the Ten Thousand Snakes Grotto!!"

The Ten Thousand Snakes Grotto, as the name implies, is the kingdom of snakes.

It was cold, damp, and the air was filled with a nauseating, fishy stench. The walls of the cave were covered in slimy moss, and countless colorful venomous snakes slithered between the crevices of the rocks, making a "hissing" sound.

"Tsk, this environment is only something cold-blooded animals like snakes can stand."

Lin Fan shuttled through the shadows. He was not in a hurry to go deeper; instead, every time he passed a formation node, he would stop to "tinker with it."

As a Formation Master who had been nurtured by the Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements, these so-called defensive great formations on the periphery of the Heavenly Snake Clan were simply like leaky sieves in his eyes.

"Add a reverse circuit here... change the illusion formation eye there..."

Lin Fan busied himself while smirking, "Although these are just simple modifications, if those old snakes try to forcefully break the formation to catch me, hehe, I guarantee they'll have a hard time."

He was gambling. He was gambling that the Heavenly Snake Clan would not dare to blow up their own holy ground.

After finishing all this, Lin Fan no longer concealed himself.

"Roar—!"

The Flood Dragon bloodline in his body vibrated slightly, and a faint dragon prestige was released.

Although this dragon prestige was not strong enough, for these low-rank snake-type fierce beasts, it was bloodline suppression from the depths of their souls!

Swish! The vicious venomous snakes that were originally coiled in the middle of the path felt this aura and were instantly scared stiff, then crazily fled to both sides, forcefully making a wide path for Lin Fan.

"Consider yourselves sensible."

Lin Fan swaggered into the core area.

The further in he went, the wider the space became, and the more terrifying the aura became.

By now, giant pythons over five meters long could be seen everywhere, their auras all above the fifth rank. Even in some hidden caves, sixth-rank fierce beasts were coiled; those were existences equivalent to the human Desolate Realm!

Just at this moment. Hum! The kneecap in his bosom suddenly vibrated violently, pointing toward a huge karst cave ahead.

"It's right in front!" Lin Fan's eyes lit up, and he was about to rush over.

"Hiss—!!" A terrifying pressure suddenly descended.

At the entrance of the karst cave ahead, a behemoth was coiled. It was a black giant python ten meters long, its entire body covered in scales like black iron, and a small fleshy lump had even grown on its head, faintly showing signs of transforming into a flood dragon.

A King Rank Fierce Beast! Comparable to the human Domain King Realm!

"Human?" The black giant python slowly raised its head, its lantern-sized vertical pupils staring at Lin Fan, speaking in human language with a cold voice, "You have such great audacity to dare trespass into the holy ground!"

Boom! The domain power belonging to the King Rank Fierce Beast instantly locked onto Lin Fan. If he were an ordinary Desolate Realm cultivator, he would probably have been scared into wetting himself by now.

But who was Lin Fan? "Ahem." Lin Fan not only didn't retreat, but instead straightened his back, his expression arrogant and disdainful.

"System, activate!" Hum! Great Art of Head and Face Transformation activated!

In the black giant python's shocked gaze, the tiny human before it suddenly grew in stature, golden scales grew on his skin, and a bloodline aura even richer and nobler than its own erupted!

That was... Royal bloodline?! And an extremely rich Royal bloodline at that!

"You..." The black giant python was stunned, the venom it was about to spray was forcibly swallowed back, "Which... which Prince are you?"

The Heavenly Snake Clan had many princes, and having guarded the Ten Thousand Snakes Grotto year-round, it couldn't possibly know them all.

"Presumptuous!" Lin Fan shouted angrily, carrying his hands behind his back, nose pointed to the sky, "Is the name of this Prince something you can inquire about?!"

As he spoke, he secretly activated the kneecap in his bosom, and with the support of the great xia dragon sparrow sword intent, he simulated a trace of the true True Dragon prestige!

Boom!! Once this pressure appeared, the black giant python trembled all over; it was fear from the depths of its soul. It really was a royal! And a top-tier royal with atavistic bloodline!

"Th-this small one dares not!" The black giant python instantly cowered, its massive body prostrate on the ground, trembling, "I did not know His Highness had arrived, failing to welcome you properly is a capital crime, a capital crime!"

"Hmph, those who do not know are not guilty." Lin Fan snorted coldly and casually lied, "This Prince has been cultivating a secret art recently and needs to find a skeleton of a human King Rank to use as an accessory. Sensing treasure fluctuations here, I came to take a look."

"A human King Rank skeleton?" The black giant python was stunned, then suddenly realized, "What Your Highness sensed must be the 'Holy Bone' left behind by our ancestors, right?"

"That's right!" Lin Fan's eyes lit up, taking the opportunity to go along with it, "That's the one! Quickly, take this Prince there!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The black giant python dared not doubt him and hurriedly led the way in front.

Under its guidance, Lin Fan successfully entered the depths of the karst cave. On a stone platform, a crystal-clear bone was being enshrined. It was a kneecap. It was exactly a pair with the one in Lin Fan's bosom!

"Finally found it!" Lin Fan suppressed his excitement, walked forward, and grabbed the kneecap in his hand.

Hum!! The moment the two kneecaps merged in his storage space, a massive stream of information flooded his mind.

[Ding! Critical component detected!] [Dragon Blood Hegemon Body Art incomplete text completed!] [Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the complete version of the Dragon Blood Hegemon Body Art scripture!]

It's done! Lin Fan laughed wildly in his heart, but on the surface, he put on a picky expression, "Hmm, the quality is passable, barely enough to make a kneepad."

"As long as Your Highness likes it." The black giant python said fawningly.

"Alright, you may withdraw." Lin Fan waved his hand, "This Prince intends to go into seclusion here for a few days; no one is allowed to disturb me. Otherwise..." He felt a murderous intent, "I'll turn you into snake soup!"

"Yes, yes, yes! This small one will roll away immediately!" The black giant python acted as if it had received a pardon, hurriedly exited the karst cave, and even thoughtfully helped Lin Fan guard the cave entrance.

"This intelligence level is basically hopeless."

Lin Fan sneered, quickly set up several isolation formations at the cave entrance, and then sat down cross-legged.

"System, cultivate!" He took out the blood of those fifth-rank fierce beasts he had killed earlier and began to circulate the complete version of the Dragon Blood Hegemon Body Art.

However. Half an hour later. Lin Fan opened his eyes and frowned. "This won't do." "The blood of these fifth-rank snakes is too trashy; there are too many impurities and too little energy. To break through to the fourth layer, I must have high-rank bloodline essence!"

Lin Fan's gaze turned toward the deeper parts of the grotto. According to the map, there was a "Heavenly Serpent Blood Pool" there.

That was the place where the essence blood of the past powerhouses of the Heavenly Snake Clan gathered after they fell; it was the greatest place of fortune for the entire Heavenly Snake Clan!

"It seems I have to act again." Lin Fan smiled. His figure changed, and this time he transformed directly into the appearance of the Ninth Prince—the unlucky guy he had slaughtered on the battlefield.

"Off I go!" Lin Fan removed the formations and swaggered toward the direction of the blood pool.
