Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 608: Chapter 587: The Global Landscape

The Hu Snake evolving into the Cyan Dragon and becoming an egg was one thing. After all, no one could say for sure whether the Dragons of legend were born live or hatched from eggs.

Many people said Dragons evolved from Snakes. Since they have serpentine bodies, it was natural they’d be oviparous. To be more precise, almost all scaly reptiles lay eggs; there was no mistake there.

A Dragon turning into an egg was somewhat normal, but a bull turning into an egg? No matter how you looked at it, it was just bizarre.

The system was silent, clearly unprepared to give Tu Xiao’an a reasonable explanation.

Tu Xiao’an stared at the giant egg with a strange expression. He reached out and tapped it. The shell was exceptionally hard, like a solid rock.

He then mischievously gave it a few kicks. It was solid as a rock. It seemed like even a sledgehammer wouldn’t be able to crack it.

”Master, stop fooling around. Be serious.”

As Tu Xiao’an was busy knocking and tapping it, the giant egg wobbled, and the Bull Demon King’s voice came from within.

”Man, Bull, you’ve really lived a full life. A live birth once, and an egg birth once. You could apply for a Guinness World Record.”

Inside the giant egg, the Bull Demon King almost coughed up a mouthful of old blood. Those words were just too insulting.

Tu Xiao’an chuckled. This kind of evolution couldn’t be completed overnight. The Cyan Dragon had also spent a considerable amount of time inside its egg during its evolution.

If he hadn’t forcefully broken the egg at the end, its development would have likely been delayed for some time.

’Oh well.’ Tu Xiao’an decided to let the Bull Demon King incubate slowly inside the giant egg. The longer it stayed in there, the more powerful it would be when it came out.

After a moment of thought, he placed his fair hand on the giant egg. His eyes narrowed, and the egg miraculously vanished.

With that taken care of, Tu Xiao’an glanced around Bai Town. It was in ruins, but people weren’t busy rebuilding because the disaster wasn’t over yet.

Although Tu Xiao’an had slain a hundred or so Fierce Beasts, he had discovered over the past two days that there were still quite a few Taotie clones in the surrounding areas. From time to time, a few would barge into Bai Town’s territory.

All the major cities were in chaos now. Wencheng was under attack by Taotie—that much was certain. But Tu Xiao’an was very curious about what disasters other cities were experiencing.

He took an exquisite mobile phone from his system and went online to check the global situation.

Tu Xiao’an couldn’t afford to be a frog in a well, keeping his focus solely on Bai Town. He needed to stay connected with the world.

The so-called War Relics hadn’t just opened in Wencheng’s territory. As time passed, the entire world had descended into chaos.

Obviously, many War Relics had opened.

”Shocking! A towering mountain peak has appeared in X City! In the same city, just a step away, yet a world apart!”

This was a post with a high click count, and it immediately caught Tu Xiao’an’s attention. He clicked on it; there were pictures to prove it. After just a few glances, his expression turned grim.

In the center of a city, what was once a bustling district was rocked one day by a massive tremor, like a Level 18 earthquake. The city split open, and a bizarre, enormous mountain peak emerged, soaring into the clouds like a sharp sword thrust into the city’s heart.

From a distance, the emergent mountain was incredibly majestic, appearing as a series of peaks rising one after another, piercing the sky.

Standing several thousand meters tall, it was an incredibly majestic sight.

You couldn’t imagine the scene: a mountain, so tall it touched the clouds, suddenly appearing in the middle of a city.

The city’s residents went mad. A perfectly fine city had been brutally split in two by the massive mountain that had appeared, as if it had been beheaded.

And that wasn’t all. The base of the mountain was shrouded in mist, the white vapor forming a barrier-like screen. Before people could even begin to investigate, hordes of skeletons charged out of the dense fog, wielding axes and hacking at anyone they saw, not wasting a moment on small talk.

These skeletons were generally over two meters tall. They weren’t the skeletons of deceased humans but were half-human, half-beast, with the hollow faces of monsters atop humanoid bodies.

Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying. These skeletons that charged out of the fog couldn’t speak, but that didn’t hinder them in any other way. They could run, jump, and kill, seething with murderous intent.

It was as if they had charged straight out of the arena of Asuras.

Besides the description, the post also had pictures and videos. How strong were these Skeleton Beasts?

Tu Xiao’an saw a Rank Two Awakened Cultivator who couldn’t even defeat a single Skeleton Beast. The scale of the disaster in that city was in no way inferior to Wencheng’s. It was an absolute bloodbath, with widespread devastation.

The main problem was the sheer number of Skeleton Beasts pouring out—tens of thousands of them. And even when they were smashed to pieces, they could reassemble themselves.

It was truly an apocalyptic scene. However, there are two sides to every coin. With the appearance of the mountain, the Spiritual Qi in the city surged, and many previously ordinary humans began to awaken their powers.

This was a blessing in disguise. Unfortunately, the newly awakened couldn’t do much. They were as good as dead if they ran into a Skeleton Beast.

If they had to blame something, they could only blame themselves for awakening too late. The heavens hadn’t even given them time to practice their Cultivation.

’Holy cow...!’

Reading this post was a real eye-opener for Tu Xiao’an. Wencheng was being attacked by Taotie clones, while X City was being attacked by Skeleton Beasts.

Humans, the rulers of Earth, had suddenly been reduced to weak ants, uncertain if they would survive to see another day.

Fortunately, humanity already had Awakened Cultivators, and once they reacted, they took some countermeasures.

After all, the Demon Management Bureau wasn’t just for show.

Having read enough of that post, Tu Xiao’an backed out. There were many more posts below, like browsing novels. You could just click on any title that caught your fancy.

”Shocking! A Thousand-Meter-Tall Man-Eating Giant Tree Appears in B City, Blotting Out the Sun!”

’This...?’

Tu Xiao’an’s eyes lit up. In the center of another city stood a giant tree, several thousand meters tall. It was majestic and towering, soaring into the clouds, terrifyingly vast. It was like the legendary World Tree from mythology, connecting heaven and earth.

The thousand-meter tree had lush foliage, and a single falling leaf could crush a person to death.

The most terrifying part was the numerous vines covering its body. Anyone who came within three kilometers would be instantly attacked by the vines and die without a proper burial.

He was dumbfounded. Tu Xiao’an stared at the giant tree. The pictures couldn’t even capture its full scale. It was so majestic and immense that it made one feel as insignificant as an ant.

As he stared, Tu Xiao’an almost wanted to summon Charlie to let him see this. Compared to this thing, Charlie the Tree Demon was like a sapling, not even worth mentioning.

’That guy is so smug right now just because he reached Rank Three of Enlightenment, claiming he’s the only awakened tree in the world to have done so.’

’Who knew there was always a higher mountain, and an even bigger tree.’

Tu Xiao’an really wanted to scan it with his consciousness to find out just what kind of tree this was to be so terrifying.

Unfortunately, he was only looking at pictures and videos; he couldn’t scan it.

Faintly, Tu Xiao’an could even see large fruits growing one after another on the giant tree, shimmering with Baoguang.

His eyes instantly grew greedy.

’A tree this massive would surely produce top-tier Spirit Fruits. They might even be fourth-grade Spirit Fruits.’

’And the fruits are actually human-shaped! They look a bit like the Ginseng Fruit from Journey to the West.’
