Insidious Serpent

Other groups of cultivators, marked by prominent snake-like features on their heads and bodies, surged with insidious black flames as they too engaged the forest's guardians. Their fighting style was different from the others, more fluid and unpredictable, like the serpents they resembled. The black flames they wielded seemed to devour light itself, leaving trails of absolute darkness in their wake.

As Cain continued his journey through the forest, his Chaos Mind suddenly detected an interesting conversation nearby. His divine gaze pierced through an illusion that would have fooled even True Divinity cultivators, revealing a hidden scene that piqued his interest.

Three figures stood in a clearing, their presence masked from ordinary perception. 

Two of them, a man and a woman, exuded the aura of Early True Divinity, their power far surpassing even the ancestors of the Heavenly God Sect that Cain had encountered in his previous adventures.
