Like in all of the Qi domains, the life in this area had changed when the Death Qi being descended. All of the celestial bodies in this area were dark and shrouded in Death Qi, while the only life here were living skeletons.
The snake-like creature instinctually tensed up as it entered. After all, it was life, and the opposite of life was death.
Still, it did what it had always done. As it passed by celestial bodies, it used its gravitational pull to suck everything into its mouth and devour it.
Like always, the snake evolved.
After waking up from a particularly deep sleep, the snake-like creature felt something on its back. Looking, it saw a creature shrouded in Death Qi.
As it always did, it launched at the creature to take a bite. However, it suddenly felt itself unable to move.
This creature looked humanoid. It held in its hand a scythe that instilled fear into the snake-like creature.
This was the Death Qi being, the being that resembled a humanoid creature the most. It took the form of the grim reaper from long ago, just much more powerful and much more intimidating.
The creature stood on top of its slanted scythe as it looked at the snake-like being.
"I've heard about you before. A being that grows through devouring, without ever touching cultivation. You are very valuable, you know."
The snake-like creature was powerful enough to transcend language, and it understood everything. However, it didn't care too much. It was feeling enough fear to simply hope to survive.
The Death Qi being was a curious one, perhaps as a result of it taking a more humanoid form. Seeing no response from the snake-like being, the Death Qi being soon left.
The snake-like creature heaved a sigh of relief. Then, it began to devour everything once again.
More important than fear was the feeling to devour.
Nom Nom Nom.
The snake-like creature soon forgot about its encounter with the Death Qi being and continued to eat.
It stayed in the Death Qi domain for a long time before leaving. It had nearly eaten a hundreth of the vast Death Qi domain, attracting even more attention than before.
Many were curious as to why this was allowed by the Qi beings.
Some even thought that the Qi beings were misunderstood and did not care about their territory. This misunderstanding was quickly resolved when a few beings were erased from existence.
This led others to questioning what was special about the snake-like creature. However, seeing as it was treated highly, nobody who knew about it did anything to it.
The snake-like creature's strength had once again grown tremendously, and it now had dark patterns on its body.
It had True God realm strength now, and with its speed, it could easily seek out other Qi domains.
From afar, the snake-like creature spotted another Qi domain. It slithered towards it.
Before long, the snake-like creature arrived. This was the Qi domain of the Life Qi being. It was the opposite of the Death Qi domain.
The snake-like creature once again began devouring, without any interference whatsoever. In such a place, countless living beings were devoured. The snake-like creature tasted a variety like never before. From a bunch of all you can eat buffets with only one food, it suddenly found one with every food. Of course, Life Qi was still abundant here, but the snake-like creature felt that the life here was more devourable than the life Qi.
Like in all other Qi domains, the snake-like creature stayed for a long time. It stayed far longer than it did in the Death Qi domain.
Although the snake-like creature was not evil, it was not good either. It simply existed to devour, and devour it did.
After eating a fifth of the entire Life Qi domain, the snake-like creature finally had its fill.
It soon found another, the Yin Qi domain. This felt similar to the Death Qi domain, but it was also different. The snake-like creature stayed for a while before leaving.
It traveled around the universe, devouring everything in sight. After a while, it was known to every powerful being. It was a terrifying creature with the sole intent to devour.
Before long, it was at the peak of the Outer World realm.
If the Chaos it caused before was bad, then this was disastrous. It began to devour great attractors, gaining many new abilities.
Those such as the Buddha, Ying Xiong, and Heaven, even considered stepping in. It was around this time that the snake-like being entered the Qi domain that suited it most.
This was the Black Hole Qi domain, and the snake-like creature was ecstatic.
It rampaged around, wildly devouring. This domain was also the home of the destruction race, and they were very unhappy to see the snake-like creature. Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do to stop it. Even the Outer World realm member of the destruction race was helpless against the snake-like creature.
It devoured countless Black Holes before falling into a deep sleep. When it woke up, it was at a completely different level.
Its size had also drastically changed. It began to devour everything in sight. It reached the 10% point, and the 20% point. The Black Hole Qi being was watching, and expected it to stop there, but it didn't.
The snake-like creature continued. 30% of the Black Hole Qi domain vanished, then 40%. The Black Hole Qi being was confused.
He looked to the Great Dao for answers. The being was not angry. It did not care for its domain, it was simply something it was supposed to set up. Instead, it was confused.
The Great Dao simply told it to wait.
After a while, nearly the entire Black Hole Qi domain was devoured. All that remained was in the center, where the Black Hole Qi being resided.
Fearlessly, the snake-like creature barged in. The living beings that were under the teachings of the Black Hole Qi being were confused, but the Black Hole Qi being teleported them back to where they came from and simply watched.
