Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 357 Two powerful figures fought to the end...

A great battle ensued, plunging the world into darkness.

Both sides in the battle have used their strongest methods. For example, the Flame Blade in the hands of the Flame Giant is a closely guarded secret of the Ignivas. Unlike the fireballs that are thrown out, this secret technique that extremely concentrates the burning consciousness is an extremely high-level combat skill.

"A united will can break through even the hardest stone," is an ancient proverb among the Ignivas.

Therefore, a concentrated burning will can naturally incinerate everything.

Abandoning a safe distance and embracing the attitude of sacrificing even one's life, all for the sake of unleashing this strongest attack, this is the core of the Flame Blade Technique.

Nothing could stop the cutting power of this light blade.

Just like now, no matter how huge the wooden figure is, it is still cut into pieces and scattered all over the ground by the slashing of the light blade.

However, it was just scattered on the ground.

Almost instantly, the enormous wooden figure had recovered and even become more solid.

"it's useless."

The Seed of Creation was confused. It couldn't figure out what this attack was trying to do. After all, even if those cuts and burns chopped its body into various pieces or burned its body to ashes, wasn't its body still its body?
Even if it is chopped into pieces all over the ground, or even if it is burned to ashes, those parts that were originally its body are still part of it.

What is changed is merely the form of existence, not the ownership of those bodies. It can absorb nutrients at any time, take in those broken bodies, and turn them back into its own.

Simply put, it's like eating yourself.

Absorbing the broken parts as energy to become a better version of itself is as simple as eating and drinking for the Seed of Creation—but in terms of outward manifestation, it becomes the enormous wooden figure that is almost immortal and can recover from any injury in an instant.

If there is any problem, it is that it currently lacks effective offensive strategies.

After all, any of its attacks, like its body, would be instantly shredded by those flame-forged blades—although its body could indeed regenerate, those attacks themselves would be meaningless.

In some ways, they are like two sides of the same coin right now.

On one hand, it possesses the strongest shield.

On the other side, however, lies the sharpest spear.

The sharpest spear, and the strongest shield.

Who can win?
"It's me! It's me!"

The flame-forged blade grew increasingly hot, and the Flame Giant's slashes became even faster.

"It has to be me! How could I possibly lose to a mere cub!"

Driven by this angry consciousness, the already scorching blade of light became even sharper.

As for the Seed of Creation, although its battles do not require any emotion to drive its will, it still believes that it will ultimately be the one to win—after all, even if it is killed many times, it can regenerate infinitely.

On the contrary, the giant of flames in front of us, those slashes and cuts will definitely consume our energy, right?

It consumes physical strength and willpower. Although it still doesn't know what this unfamiliar energy body is, it is clear that the other party will eventually get tired.

Even if it is just an aggregate of energy, it will inevitably get tired and exhausted. The moment this unfamiliar energy body loses its power due to fatigue is the moment it melts and devours it.

"If I possessed such power..." The Seed of Creation couldn't help but start to fantasize.

If it truly possesses such power, then in terms of the construction of its combat system, it has indeed filled the last gap—after all, after fighting for so long, it has realized that its strengths have always been in defense, and when it comes to offense, it has no way to do anything about it.

This is not a good thing. Although it doesn't care much about being passively attacked, according to its father, the giant snake, it is better to fight back than to be passively attacked.

"So... if I can really stockpile this unfamiliar energy entity, I will also be able to obtain this most powerful attack method."

With this thought in mind, the Seed of Creation fought steadily, like a seasoned hunter, methodically wearing down its prey's strength.

When the prey is exhausted, that's when it reaps the rewards.

Like those diligent old farmers among the indigenous people.

The seeds you plant will eventually bring you a rich reward.

On the opposite side of the Seed of Creation, the young Ignivas singing bowl clearly also realized this.

Every Ignivas is a top-notch hunter, so how could they not see the kind of hunting methods that exhaust their prey? But as good hunters, they understand something else even better.

That is, often the best hunters are the ones who appear as prey.

Just like now, they have indeed entered the fray wholeheartedly, even becoming the prey themselves, but that doesn't mean they have no ability to fight back at all—they have been waiting, waiting for the wooden figure in front of them to adapt to the rhythm of the battle, waiting for their enemy to relax their vigilance.

When their enemies thought the situation was settled and that victory was assured.

That is the best time for them to make their move.

That moment of relaxation is the best opportunity, and every veteran hunter knows how to skillfully utilize this brief moment.

"From this perspective, this strange wooden figure is indeed a bit naive... It has immense strength, but its combat strategy is still at a relatively childish level."

With this thought in mind, the Flame Giant's light blade gradually went out.

This is undoubtedly a sign that physical strength is about to be exhausted, and a sign of decline. In other words, this is the best opportunity to attack.

The Wood Giant in front of them clearly noticed this as well. The enormous humanoid figure that had been continuously swinging its fists instantly transformed into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky, descending upon the Flame Giant.

"Yes, this is it..."

The Flame Giant was ready, and the core of the previously extinguished light blade began to glow faintly again.

Even a spark in the ashes can ignite a raging fire.

But just as the raging fire was about to consume the giant tree...

The giant wooden hand stopped.

"Let's not fight for now."

After a brief hesitation, the giant wooden hand withdrew.

"My father is calling me home for dinner."
