Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 573: Chapter 555: All the Demons Gather to Break the Power of Darkness

”What a pity, what a pity. Those four Deep Mountain Great Demons of yours outside have decent Cultivation, but their soul consciousness power is just too weak. Even with the four of them combined, they can’t put any pressure on me.”

To be honest, the four of them combined were barely on par with the Saint Peng King’s soul consciousness power.

Tu Xiao’an truly didn’t see them as a threat.

The White Demon King choked on his words. ’Just how strong is this Snake Demon’s soul consciousness power?’ He had thought that by joining forces with the Saint Peng King, they had been more or less evenly matched against this Snake Demon.

Now, with the added assault of Soul Power from the outside, the Snake Demon surely wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

But judging by the other’s words, he was completely calm and nonchalant.

’Is he just bluffing, or does he really not see us as a threat?’

Ten minutes passed, and the White Demon King was forced to believe it was the latter.

This Snake Demon’s soul consciousness power was truly invincible.

Outside, the four Great Demons were already pale, their eyes wide with horror.

”Such formidable Dark Power... what a formidable Snake Demon! The four of us are attacking from the outside in coordination with the King on the inside, yet we still can’t break this black sphere!”

Their words were laced with terror as they spoke.

This snake once again refreshed the other demons’ impression of just how freakishly strong he was.

The first Deep Mountain Great Demon to charge forward grunted heavily, unfurling a very, very long trunk that moved like a roaming dragon.

This was a Giant Elephant Demon who had cultivated for many years. His strength was immense; a casual stomp of his foot could make the earth tremble.

”Watch me suck all of this nasty Dark Flame into my stomach!”

The Giant Elephant Demon aimed its long trunk at the Dark Flame and took a sharp inhale, sucking in a large amount of it.

The three Great Demons beside him were overjoyed to see this. ”Brother Xiang, well done! If you break this black sphere, the King will surely reward you handsomely when he gets out!”

The Giant Elephant Demon’s spirits lifted. If that happened, the Elephant Race’s status in the Azure Bamboo Forest would improve dramatically.

Urk...!

But his joy was short-lived. The Giant Elephant Demon’s face contorted as his innards were turned upside down. The Dark Flame he had inhaled began to wreak havoc in his stomach, and a boundless pain spread through him.

Immediately after, the Giant Elephant Demon’s entire body began to darken, as if he had been lethally poisoned.

”Hmph. You fool, you don’t know what’s good for you. You’ve lived for centuries, but you’ve learned nothing. How dare you suck my Dark Flame into your stomach?” Tu Xiao’an’s cold voice emanated from within the giant black sphere. ”Since you like sucking so much, I’ll let you have your fill.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant black sphere began to boil like water. Great torrents of Dark Flame from the outer layer automatically surged into the Elephant Demon’s trunk.

”No, no! This Little Demon was wrong! Lord Snake King, please spare my life!”

The Elephant Demon was terrified. The massive influx of Dark Flame into his body felt like a heavy blow. His skin grew darker and darker, and his body began to swell.

Aaaargh...!

The Elephant Demon screamed in unbearable pain. His human form dissolved, and he transformed into a colossal elephant, as massive as a mountain.

A ceaseless stream of Dark Flame continued to pour into his trunk, inflating him like a balloon. The Giant Elephant Demon’s body grew larger and larger.

”Mercy, mercy!” The Giant Elephant Demon was utterly terrified. He could already feel the aura of death descending upon him. The more Dark Flame that entered his body, the faster his death approached. His body couldn’t take it anymore.

Then, the demons below heard a world-shaking BANG.

BOOM...!

The mighty Deep Mountain Great Demon, the Giant Elephant Demon, had exploded on the spot, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

Following the explosion, a glittering golden bead emerged, hovering in the sky amidst the blood mist.

The other three Great Demons nearby looked at the glittering golden bead. How could they not recognize it? It was the Giant Elephant Demon’s Lifebound Golden Core.

What a treasure. Any Demon who swallowed this Golden Core would experience a massive surge in their Cultivation.

Greed flickered in the eyes of the Black Bear Demon, the Flower-patterned Leopard Demon, and the Scorpion Beauty, but none of them dared to make a move on the Golden Core.

Suddenly, the Giant Elephant Demon’s Lifebound Golden Core moved, shooting directly into the giant black sphere. Tu Xiao’an’s voice soon followed. ”Not bad, not bad. I just used up quite a bit of power. This Golden Core has come at the perfect time.”

The demons: ”...”

’Using a Deep Mountain Great Demon’s Lifebound Golden Core to replenish your energy? Do you have to be so extravagant?’

”You three clowns outside, if you don’t want me to snack on your Lifebound Golden Cores like candy, then scram! Stop making a fuss out here.”

Tu Xiao’an’s words were mocking, but they were laced with thick killing intent.

”Lord Snake King, spare us! This Little Demon was forced into this! We’ll leave right now, right now!”

Hearing this, the Black Bear Demon, the Flower-patterned Leopard Demon, and the Scorpion Beauty nearly pissed themselves in fear. ’Cultivation is hard-won; we must cherish our lives.’

The mighty Giant Elephant Demon had been killed just like that, as if he were made of paper. This was not someone they could afford to provoke.

”Bastards! If you dare to flee, not only will you meet your end when I get out, but your entire races will also disappear from the Yaoling Mountain Range!”

The White Demon King’s murderous threat echoed out. The three Great Demons, who had been about to fly away, froze in place, trembling.

They were trapped. ’To go or not to go? Why must we innocent bystanders be dragged into the battles of you big shots?’

”All of you, get up here for me! Work together to break this damned black sphere! When I break free, you will all be rewarded handsomely!” The White Demon King’s voice thundered, reaching the wedding procession below. ”If anyone dares to defy me, their race will be exterminated!”

As soon as he said this, a commotion erupted below. Everyone was terrified. Things had escalated. Even those who had just been watching the show could no longer stay out of it.

The White Demon King was furious. He was throwing all caution to the wind, determined to shatter Tu Xiao’an’s Dark Power no matter the cost.

The Black Bear Demon, the Flower-patterned Leopard Demon, and the Scorpion Beauty gritted their teeth. They had no choice. They resumed releasing their soul consciousness power to try and break the black sphere.

In addition, more than a dozen figures shot up from below, each of them seething with Demon Qi. They joined forces, releasing their soul consciousness power and pouring it into the towering black sphere.

Instantly, the giant black sphere began to tremble violently.

Meanwhile, Tu Xiao’an, hidden within the Dark Abyss, had swallowed the Giant Elephant Demon’s Golden Core and was continuously absorbing the pure power within it. But in that same instant, an immense soul pressure bore down on him.

’Damn it! More than ten Rank Three Demon Spirits and four or five Deep Mountain Great Demons!’

Even Tu Xiao’an was unsettled by such a lineup. Most importantly, the White Demon King and the Saint Peng King, two Demon Kings, were still inside the Dark Abyss with him.

Hmph! Tu Xiao’an snorted coldly, pouring a massive amount of his powerful and profound Consciousness Power into the Dark Abyss. ’You think you can break my Power of Darkness with just this? No way!’

With a dozen Demon Spirits working together, the towering black sphere trembled constantly, looking as if it might collapse at any moment. The demons saw a glimmer of hope. Once the black sphere was broken, the trapped White Demon King and Saint Peng King would be free. Then, everything would be easily resolved.

And the doom of the Snake Race’s newly appointed Snake King would arrive.
