Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 520: Chapter 507: Is He a Divine Spirit? (11)

An hour passed in the blink of an eye as the two most powerful Snake Species clashed.

High in the sky, two figures exuding terrifying Snake Race auras fought with earth-shattering intensity. Tu Xiao’an discovered this Emperor Sun Snake was truly something special.

In a purely physical confrontation, Tu Xiao’an found he held no advantage whatsoever.

Moreover, Li You was covered in poison. Anyone else would have found it incredibly troublesome to fight him; a single touch of his venom would be fatal.

His physical body was flawless, like armor-plated flesh.

Tu Xiao’an finished his assessment of this Super Class Emperor Snake Species and was very satisfied. It was definitely qualified to be the seed for his third-stage evolution.

BOOM...

After a final, thunderous clash of fists, both were flung dozens of yards apart.

The Battle Intent in Li You’s eyes burned even brighter. ’So this is the Snake King who proved his Dao? Big deal. We’ve fought for an hour, and he hasn’t gained the slightest advantage over me.’

’As expected, I’m stronger than him! I have a real chance to defeat him and become the true King of Snake Clan!’

You could never be sure without a real fight, but this clash made Li You’s confidence soar.

HA...

Li You let out a great roar as the black markings on his face began to flicker. His features twisted into a ferocious snarl, like a vicious snake from Ancient Times, and a phantom image of a snake materialized above his head.

An utterly berserk Snake Race aura washed over the vast, desolate landscape without restraint.

He would finish this in one go—kill and devour the snake before him who had stolen his throne.

SWOOSH...

Li You’s aura surged skyward, his momentum as brilliant as the full moon, impossible to look upon directly. He would turn any who stood in his way to dust, annihilating them completely.

’Again?’

Tu Xiao’an, in truth, had no interest in another physical bout with Li You. It was exhausting, and he held no real advantage.

But as Li You charged forward, his expression fierce and menacing, a wicked smile played on Tu Xiao’an’s lips. His hands, like those of a Nether God from the Nine Nether Purgatory, gracefully traced a beautiful, tragic arc through the air. The moment Li You reached him, his palms slammed heavily into the Black Gold Armor.

BANG...

Large swaths of scales on the Black Gold Armor burst outward like cherry blossoms in bloom, and Li You himself was sent flying.

He was blasted all the way back to his starting point. The shock was clear on his face, but his body was so powerful that he was unharmed.

Tu Xiao’an raised a hand. ”You refuse to submit, don’t you? But I proved my Dao by overcoming the Seventy Two Celestial Tribulations. On that point alone, no one can compare. Would you like to know what the Seventy Two Celestial Tribulations are?”

Hm?

Li You’s Emperor’s Qi seethed, but he didn’t understand what the other was saying.

’What’s that supposed to mean? Is there a store that sells deadly Celestial Tribulations?’

’Is he telling me to go buy one to test its power?’

”Fighting like this is pointless. Let me show you why I was crowned king the moment I proved my Dao,” Tu Xiao’an said, a playful glint in his enchanting eyes.

Suddenly, arcs of electricity began to course over Tu Xiao’an’s body. He thrust a palm toward the sky, and a beam of light shot out. Instantly, dark clouds gathered overhead, and the roar of thunder rolled in like a tidal wave.

Li You was completely unafraid. He knew this other snake controlled the Power of Thunder Element and could unleash Thunder.

Thunder was terrifying, but for someone whose Cultivation had reached the Pseudo Demon King Level, what was a bit of mere Thunder?

BOOM... It was as if someone was beating a war drum in the sky above.

The sky turned a dark crimson as a massive vortex began to form. Then, a gigantic purple flower strangely bloomed from the center of the vortex.

The appearance of this purple flower gave Li You a huge shock. He muttered as if he’d seen a ghost, ”A Tribulation Cloud Flower?”

He widened his eyes for a closer look, and his gaze froze. ’Holy shit, it really is a Tribulation Cloud Flower!’

He had already proven his Dao and faced his own tribulation long ago; how could he not recognize what was emerging from that massive vortex above?

’This is impossible! A Tribulation Cloud Flower means the release of Celestial Thunder... This is a Celestial Tribulation!’

’Who’s Crossing the Tribulation? Why do I feel like that Tribulation Cloud Flower is aimed at me?’

In an instant, Li You stared at Tu Xiao’an in disbelief, his mind going completely blank.

’I knew you could unleash Thunder, but you summoned a Tribulation Cloud Flower? What the hell is this?’

A wave of terror washed over Li You. A cold chill ran down his spine, and the hairs on his body stood on end. He was completely stunned by Tu Xiao’an’s move.

’These are the methods of a Divine Spirit! The workings of the Heaven and Earth Law!’

After a long moment, Li You calmed down. ’Hmph, just putting on a show. It’s only an illusion. Don’t tell me it can actually strike with real Celestial Thunder.’

After all, what made Celestial Thunder so terrifying was the Celestial Power it contained.

”Why don’t you have a taste of my Thunder?” Tu Xiao’an’s lips curled slightly. He raised an eyebrow and his eyes narrowed as the Tribulation Cloud Flower in the dark red sky silently blossomed.

As the Tribulation Cloud Flower blossomed, Li You’s lip curled in contempt. It certainly looked the part, but he wasn’t a three-year-old; he couldn’t be scared that easily.

As the Tribulation Cloud Flower blossomed, the world itself changed color, and space seemed to tear apart. A bolt of purple lightning, like a coiling Divine Dragon, descended directly toward Li You’s head.

”Hmph... I’ll block it!”

Li You stood firm in the air, not retreating a single step. At the Pseudo Demon King Level, he had no fear of ordinary Thunder. So what if it looked real? Without Celestial Might, it wasn’t Celestial Thunder.

The moment the purple lightning struck him, Li You’s contemptuous expression changed drastically. His heart pounded in his chest, and his very soul began to tremble inexplicably.

The next second, BOOM...!

His expression changed, and he was blasted by the purple lightning into the heart of the Rat Beast warzone below. Countless Rat Beasts suffered yet another calamity, dying violent deaths as a massive, crackling crater formed where he landed.

”Sigh. I’m the Snake King. What I strike with is Celestial Thunder, you know? I even showed you the Tribulation Cloud Flower. Why wouldn’t you believe me?”

Tu Xiao’an looked down at the enormous crater, his smile as bright and sunny as a summer day.

Anyone who fought him would first have to endure a Celestial Tribulation.

He was indeed imitating the spectacle of a Celestial Tribulation’s arrival, but the Thunder within was genuine Celestial Thunder, containing Celestial Might.

”Since I, the Snake King, am feeling merciful, I’ll grace you with a round of Celestial Fire as well.”

COUGH COUGH...

From the depths of the crater, Li You staggered to his feet, his body charred black. Arcs of purple electricity still coiled around him, ravaging his flesh.

”Fuck! How could it be real Celestial Thunder?!”

The implications were terrifying, and Li You’s face went deathly pale. The Celestial Might within the Thunder made his very soul tremble uncontrollably.

He had experienced this feeling once before; it couldn’t be fake.

To casually summon a Tribulation Cloud Flower and unleash Celestial Thunder... Li You was dumbstruck, as if he’d suffered a tremendous shock.

”Impossible! It’s impossible! It’s fake! It has to be fake! Even if that snake is a monster, how could he wield Celestial Power? What does that make him? A Divine Spirit?!”

Li You roared from the depths of the crater.

He took a sharp breath, composing himself. Then, he crouched slightly and shot upward like a missile.

He had barely launched himself upward when an Extraterrestrial Meteorite came smashing down toward his head.

BOOM...!

Li You was smashed back down into the crater by the Extraterrestrial Meteorite. The impact violently expanded the crater’s size, turning its interior into an erupting volcano of raging, sky-high flames.
