In the inner area of the Secret Realm, a small black snake swirled along hunting for prey.
However, just as it opened its mouth to devour its target, it suddenly shivered as black flames lit up in its eyes!
Memories that weren't its own flooded through its mind!
A moment later, its eyes opened, and though they looked blank at first, they quickly became cold, and then menacing.
The black snake looked around. He suddenly felt uneasy.
'I'mveryweaknow.I'mnotevenasstrongasamidstageFoundationEstablishment.IguessIneedtofindaplacetohidefornowandreachmyoriginalcultivation.JustyouwaitIris,I'llmakeyoumyslaveanddevouryourpartner'ssoul.'
Suppressing his anxiety, he raced off to find a hiding spot.
Indeed, this snake was Aldric who after entering the Secret Realm had used his cultivation technique's divine ability to separate parts of his soul.
He planted these soul fragments as seeds in various creatures within the realm. It was a precaution, and also his final trump card.
