Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 452: Chapter 448: Kill on Sight

Atop the mountain peak, the White Demon King watched the Celestial Tribulation end, a faint, kingly smile on his face. It seemed his presence today had been rather unnecessary.

But no matter. He was actually glad he had come. If a Snake Spirit like this truly succeeded in Crossing the Tribulation, then he had no doubt what the Profound Turtle had said was true—it might genuinely have posed a slight threat to him, the White Demon King.

But there was one thing the White Demon King couldn’t understand. He had never met this Snake Spirit before. Even if its bloodline was noble and its potential extraordinary, what did that have to do with him?

’Could this Snake Spirit possibly come looking for trouble? Or does it hold some grudge against me?’

’It’s possible, I suppose.’ Along his path of Cultivation, he, the White Demon King, had come to rule this region. Countless Spirit Monsters and Demon Spirits had died at his hands, both directly and indirectly.

But it was of no consequence now. Whatever grudge or hatred there might have been, the Snake Spirit was now reduced to ash. The White Demon King couldn’t be bothered to think about it any further.

”My King, that snake knew its place and died completely. It didn’t even force Your Majesty’s hand,” one of the Demon Spirits said fawningly.

”A mere Snake Spirit, even if it had attained its Dao, would it be worthy of the King’s intervention? For us to act would have been giving it too much credit.”

As the two Demon Spirits flattered him, the White Demon King chuckled and prepared to return home. His form, surging with Demon Qi, was just about to dissipate when suddenly...

Suddenly, his sharp gaze shot toward the valley, his pupils contracting as killing intent flared to life.

.......

In the valley, the light enveloping the Bull Demon King and the Tree Spirit vanished. They stared at each other, utterly stupefied, overcome with a bizarre mix of shock and joy. They just stood there motionless like a pair of idiots, grinning foolishly.

Just then, the Bull Demon King came to his senses. He felt something moving under his foot, as if he had stepped on something.

”You stupid ox, get your hoof off me! Are you trying to kill your master?”

A weak voice quietly sounded out from under the Bull Demon King’s foot. The very air seemed to ripple in shock.

Holy hell...

The Bull Demon King’s several-hundred-pound body trembled. Dazed, he looked at the Tree Spirit and asked uncertainly, ”Did you hear something?”

The Tree Spirit was still immersed in immense joy and didn’t have the mind to pay the Bull Demon King any attention.

”It must be a hallucination. Impossible, just impossible. The Master was obliterated by the Celestial Tribulation, not even a speck was left,” the Bull Demon King muttered to himself, shaking his head.

Instantly, an incredibly cold aura unique to the Snake Race spread out from the ground, carrying an irresistible pressure. The Bull Demon King and the Tree Spirit couldn’t help but tremble in terror as a fear that stemmed from the depths of their souls arose spontaneously.

”Master?”

”Master? Master?”

How could the Bull Demon King and the Tree Spirit not understand? This aura was too familiar, and the fear in their souls could not be faked.

With a shocked expression, the Bull Demon King lifted one of his feet. Looking down, he saw nothing at first, but then noticed a small point of light flickering in a crack in the earth.

Looking closely, the small point of light was clearly a tiny worm, so small it was almost negligible.

This worm was incredibly small and slender, like a Silver Needle. However, the tiny creature’s whole body was surprisingly bright. If not for its glow, it would have been completely unnoticeable.

”I have attained Rank Three of Enlightenment. Now, I must shed my skin to complete the final stage and become a Rank 3 Snake King, ruler of all the world’s snakes. I command you two: do not allow any living creature within a five-kilometer radius to approach. Otherwise, kill on sight.”

The voice was extremely weak, but the words carried an undeniable authority. It was an overbearing, arrogant tone that looked down on all, filled with boundless dominance.

”Yes, Bull Demon King accepts the command!”

As a Rank Three Demon Spirit, the Bull Demon King understood perfectly. After successfully attaining one’s Dao and Crossing the Tribulation, the body would be left extremely weak. His master’s majestic fifty-meter-long snake body had been ravaged by the Celestial Tribulation until only this tiny speck remained. Now, it had to shed its skin to fully transform from the Rank Two Spirit Monster level and become a Rank 3 Snake King.

This was the most critical moment. It absolutely could not be disturbed.

Especially the two Monkey Kings from Monkey Mountain. If they knew the Snake Spirit wasn’t dead, they would surely attack, fighting to the death to get their revenge.

Instantly, the Bull Demon King’s expression turned grim. A terrifyingly brutal aura erupted from his body as he entered a combat stance, transforming into a tall and mighty minotaur-like figure with horns sprouting from his head. His imposing might seemed powerful enough to punch a hole in the sky, his presence alone enough to swallow mountains and rivers. An Iron Rod materialized in his hand, and he stood on high alert, ready to execute anyone who approached with a single, fatal blow.

”Charlie obeys.”

The already tall and straight tree shot up even higher where it stood, transforming into a colossal, sky-blotting tree. Its branches were gnarled and vigorous, lush with dense, green foliage, casting a shadow that covered a one-kilometer radius. Dozens of powerful vines, terrifying as a kraken’s tentacles, writhed menacingly, permitting no living creature to draw near—not even a mosquito.

The actions of the Bull Demon King and the Tree Spirit left countless creatures in utter astonishment, shocking all who witnessed it.

Even more astonishing events began to unfold one after another.

BANG...

Space in the valley rippled, and a sound like a clear phoenix cry soared into the sky. An Immortal Spirit Peacock, radiating nine-colored Divine Light, materialized from nothingness and landed atop the colossal tree. It was like a Phoenix alighting on a Phoenix Tree—sacred, inviolable, and peerless.

ROAR...

The space above the valley floor roiled once more. To the east of the great tree, a Golden Pupils appeared, possessing the might of a tiger and the presence of a lion, its gaze disdainful of all creation. Upon appearing, its body swelled, transforming into a gigantic, tiger-like beast of awe-inspiring majesty. Its roar shook the heavens, causing countless creatures to tremble in fear, while its pair of Yin Yang Eyes shone brilliantly, banishing all ghosts and specters.

HISS...

At the same time, a massive, thirty-meter-long Three-headed Snake manifested, its body suffused with Evil Qi. With three heads, six eyes, it was incomparably ferocious and exuded a spiritually chilling, fierce aura. It coiled directly in front of the colossal tree, projecting the terrifying intent to kill any god or immortal who dared to cross its path, inspiring inexplicable fear with a single glance.

The countless creatures of Monkey Mountain were completely dumbfounded. ’What the hell is going on?’ Led by the Bull Demon King, a Rank Three Demon Spirit, and a colossal tree that vied with the heavens in height, three more Super-level Creatures with terrifying auras had appeared. The presence they exuded, towering over ordinary creatures, was simply unparalleled.

Although these three newly-appeared Super-level Creatures were still at the Spirit Monster level, the terrifying auras they emitted were hardly inferior to that of an ordinary Rank Three Demon Spirit.

Wave after wave of auras from these supremely powerful creatures washed over the entire valley. The sky above seemed on the verge of collapsing again, the air crackled with constant sonic booms, and space itself warped and twisted under the pressure of their presence.

What were they all doing? They stood on high alert, bristling with killing intent, as if they held a life-or-death grudge against all the Spirit Monsters and Demon Spirits in the Yaoling Mountain Range.

Any creature in the Yaoling Mountain Range that dared to step foot into the valley would be attacked instantly and utterly annihilated.
