Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 518: Chapter 505: The Two Strongest Snake Species in the World

When the demonic youth uttered those arrogant words, challenging them three to one, the Cyan Dragon and the Bull Demon King erupted in fury, their auras soaring.

”I’ll crush you!”

Li You remained completely unafraid. His Emperor’s Qi grew ever more intense, causing countless members of the Snake Race to tremble in terror. An uncontrollable fear surged from the very depths of their souls.

The suppression from a kindred bloodline was even more terrifying than being crushed by sheer authority.

Tu Xiao’an waved his hand, motioning for the Cyan Dragon and the Bull Demon King to stand down and stay out of it. Then, his enchanting eyes, cold and impassive, stared at the demonic youth. The longer he looked, the more pleased he became.

’Looks like I’ve found the Snake Species for my third evolution.’

Tu Xiao’an had reached the Rank Three of Enlightenment, and it was once again time for him to undergo a staged evolution. This was a crucial system-granted benefit that would bring about a qualitative leap in his power.

Because upon completing an evolution, he would be endowed with Elemental Attribute Energy. The first time, he had used a Crowned King Snake and gained the Thunder Attribute. The second time, he had used a Mutated Bloodsucker Snake and obtained the Flame Attribute.

But with each successive evolution, the requirements for the Snake Species grew increasingly stringent.

Now, the appearance of this Super Emperor Fierce Sun Snake felt like a godsend to Tu Xiao’an.

Originally, after encountering that ancestral Snake Demon from the Bai Family, Tu Xiao’an had marked her as the Snake Species for his third evolution.

After all, a Snake Species with a superior bloodline and immense power wasn’t a dime a dozen.

But now, it seemed this King Snake before him was a far more suitable choice.

His Emperor’s Qi was not much inferior to the Snake King aura Tu Xiao’an exuded; both possessed a naturally fatal suppression over the Snake Race.

If he Devoured Li You, Tu Xiao’an’s majesty as the Snake King would become even greater, his strength would undergo another qualitative transformation, and most importantly, he would obtain a new Elemental Attribute Ability.

When it came to a tool like an Elemental Attribute Ability, one could never have too many. Even though Tu Xiao’an already possessed four Elemental Abilities, he hoped for even more—the merrier.

Elemental Abilities were simply too useful. They could be used for both offense and defense, their methods of attack were endless and ever-changing, and their power was immense.

He was also very much looking forward to what his fifth Elemental Attribute Power would be.

If he truly completed this next evolution, Tu Xiao’an would no longer need to see the Five Great Deep Mountain Demon Kings of the Yaoling Mountain Range as a threat.

At this thought, Tu Xiao’an found this provocative King Snake before him more and more pleasing to the eye.

”This king accepts your challenge,” Tu Xiao’an said, the corners of his mouth curling into a faint smile. ’A top-tier Snake Species delivering itself to my doorstep... it would be a waste not to Devour it.’

As soon as he spoke, Tu Xiao’an floated up from the head of the Titan Snake. For combatants of their Level, it was only natural to fight in the sky.

Besides, the land below was the battlefield for the snakes and rats.

Just as he floated up, he heard Luo Ziyun call out worriedly, ”Xiao’an.”

He looked at her stunningly beautiful face and smiled. ”You’re not afraid I’ll lose, are you?”

Luo Ziyun immediately shook her head, shot him a playful glare, and said softly, ”I was hoping you could spare Li You’s life. Although he’s conceited and looks down on everyone, it’s undeniable that before you appeared, he was the most outstanding Snake Species in our race. Born with Emperor’s Qi, he’s a mighty general. If he dies, it will be a loss for the entire Snake Race.”

Luo Ziyun was considering the bigger picture from the perspective of the entire Snake Race, and she wasn’t wrong to do so.

They were both snakes, so why fight to the death? But Tu Xiao’an shook his head. ”Sorry, I can’t promise you that. The majesty of the Snake King cannot be provoked so casually. Challengers must die. Besides, if I Devour him, my own Cultivation will undergo a qualitative transformation.”

”If you Devour Li You, your strength will increase that much?” Luo Ziyun asked, stunned for a moment.

”Yes, that’s right. If I succeed, I’m confident I can defeat the Gray Demon King.”

Ziyan suddenly broke into a radiant smile. ”In that case, just pretend I never said anything. Do whatever you feel you must.”

Tu Xiao’an stared at her, dumbfounded. ’This woman... and her priorities?’

’I absolutely adore her. She puts me first, completely and utterly.’

In truth, Tu Xiao’an now represented the Snake Race. The stronger the king, the stronger the race would naturally become. There was nothing wrong with that logic.

Tu Xiao’an gave Luo Ziyun a deep, meaningful look, then ascended to take his position high in the sky.

”Hmph. I, Li You, will let all the snakes in the world know who is truly fit to be the king of the Snake Race!”

Li You also rose into the air, brimming with confidence.

”Idiot!”

The Cyan Dragon and the Bull Demon King cursed, looking at the demonic youth as if he were a complete imbecile.

It wasn’t just that they were being protective of their master; they knew all too well how terrifying his power was. After his enlightenment, he saw Deep Mountain Great Demons as nothing more than bronze-leaguers. He had openly challenged two Demon Kings on Monkey Mountain—was that just for show?

”I bet this dumbass ends up in Master’s stomach within ten minutes,” the Cyan Dragon commented nonchalantly.

The Bull Demon King blurted out, ”This dumbass snake? If he can last five minutes, it’ll be the greatest achievement of his life.”

”What’s going on here?”

The Ape King flew over from the battlefield and asked, looking up at the two men high above, both exuding powerful auras of the Snake Race.

”Some idiot from the master’s Snake Race refuses to accept his status as the Snake King, so now he’s challenging him,” the Cyan Dragon explained.

Hearing this, the Ape King exclaimed loudly, ”How outrageous! This is gross insubordination! The authority of a Monarch cannot be challenged!”

If this were his Monkey Race and some insolent monkey had dared to issue a challenge, he would have slapped its brains out with a single palm.

Within the power structure of a race, the Monarch holds the power of life and death. Their status is supreme, and their subjects must submit unconditionally.

The Bull Demon King chuckled. ”Old Ape, I called it, didn’t I? I told you that sooner or later, you’d become the master’s Battle Companion. Look at you now, you’re really fitting into the role.”

The Ape King’s golden eyes flashed as he glared, looking as if someone had just stepped on his tail.

’Sigh... it must be fate.’

At this moment, Tu Xiao’an’s three strongest Battle Companions—two at the Pseudo Demon King Level, and one Deep Mountain Great Demon who possessed the combat prowess of a Pseudo Demon King—were gathered together to watch the show.

.......

High in the sky, two young men exuding the aura of the Snake Race hovered in the air, facing each other from a distance of no more than ten zhang.

The snake aura emanating from these two men was enough to make any snake in the world submit unconditionally, trembling from the depths of their souls.

One was the Snake King who had attained enlightenment and ascended to his throne. Donning the Yellow Robe, he ruled over all snakes, none daring to disobey. The other was a King Snake, born with the natural Emperor’s Qi, possessing the bloodline of the Ancient Exotic Snakes and Super Class aptitude.

Across the entire Yaoling Mountain Range, these two were among the most outstanding Snake Species in the world. Both had Crossed the Tribulation to achieve enlightenment, their Cultivation was incomparably powerful, and a single move from either could shake the heavens and the earth.

At that moment, the wind gusted, carrying with it the thick stench of blood from the battlefield below.

A cold, sinister serpentine aura assaulted the senses, and the air between heaven and earth filled with a bleak, murderous intent.

A brilliant light flashed around Li You, and a suit of black-and-gold scale Battle Armor materialized, leaving him fully armed. His entire body shimmered with an eerie, cold light that was chilling to the soul.

Although he was confident, he didn’t dare to be the slightest bit careless. His cold eyes shone with a sharp light as he stared fixedly at Tu Xiao’an.

His opponent had attained enlightenment and claimed his kingship, manifesting the ’King’ character and wielding several kinds of Elemental Attribute Powers—all of which had been witnessed on Monkey Mountain.

Li You might not have accepted it in his heart, but he had to admit that his opponent was terrifying. He could not afford to be careless.

But Li You was incredibly arrogant. He had always believed that he, and he alone, was the world’s number one King Snake.

Since birth, he had viewed all other Snake Species as mere ants, to be devoured at will.
