Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 616: Chapter 593: The People of Wencheng Go Crazy

The vice-director knew all too well how terrifying the White Demon King was. He was one of the five lords of the Yaoling Mountain Range; how could he possibly be dead?

He didn’t believe a single word his granddaughter had said.

It was a complete fantasy.

But now, as the vice-director looked at the giant snake on the screen, he fell silent.

If that snake really could effortlessly kill the Fierce Beasts in the fallen district, then he would have no choice but to believe.

’I’ll know soon enough if I just keep watching.’

At present, many of the big shots in the reception hall were not only ungrateful about the Snake Demon’s appearance over Wencheng, but they were also extremely displeased.

They resented the snake for stealing their thunder. Wencheng had the Demon Management Bureau and Cultivators from hidden clans. It wasn’t a mere Snake Demon’s place to come out and show off.

”Everyone, we should put aside our previous positions for now. Whether human or Demon, we all share a common enemy: the Fierce Beasts pouring out of the War Relics. It is a blessing for Wencheng that this Snake Demon is willing to help.”

The vice-director suddenly spoke up, and for a moment, everyone was rendered speechless.

”The director has a point, of course. But we’d still like to see if this Bai Town Snake King is as miraculous as they say, and if he can truly wipe out all the Fierce Beasts in the fallen district.”

’Just how powerful can a Snake Demon’s Cultivation be? Surely it can’t be at the Demon King Level, can it?’

”Actually, no matter the outcome, we won’t suffer any losses. We might as well just sit back and watch the show.”

Director Wu Tianyi kept his eyes glued to the giant snake on the screen. Others could point fingers and criticize the Snake Demon, but he couldn’t. He didn’t have that right.

Suddenly, Wu Tianyi shuddered. A cold voice echoed in his mind, ”Where is my servant, Wu Tianyi?”

Wu Tianyi’s old face twitched, his expression turning ugly. He took a deep breath. ”Master, this old servant is here.”

”I, your Master, am about to wage war against the Fierce Beasts. I command you to let every citizen of Wencheng witness my magnificent battle. Broadcast it live.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Tianyi’s expression twitched again. ’Having the Demon Management Bureau, a state institution, publicly promote a snake... isn’t that a bit inappropriate?’

Humanity needed a superhero right now, and so did Wencheng, but they didn’t need a super snake. Otherwise, where would humanity’s pride be?

If the common people all started worshipping a Demon, what would become of Ancient Martial Cultivators like them?

”Hmph? Is there a problem?”

”This old servant understands. I will obey your command, Master.” Ever since he’d been subjugated, Wu Tianyi knew his soul no longer belonged to him.

If his master wished it, a single thought was all it would take to turn him to dust.

”Someone! Lock the Celestial Net onto the fallen district! I want the battle footage from there broadcast across Wencheng’s network!”

Wu Tianyi suddenly issued the order.

Many of his subordinates were shocked. ”Director, what are you doing?”

”Since that snake is helping Wencheng unconditionally, we should also let the citizens of Wencheng remember its contributions.”

”Director, you can’t! This will be a blow to the reputation of us Martial Cultivators!”

Wu Tianyi said grimly, ”Are you daring to question my command?”

The person who had spoken was instantly so frightened he didn’t dare to breathe.

Don’t be fooled by the way those hidden clans usually threw their weight around; in front of Wu Tianyi, they were nothing.

In the past, although the Demon Management Bureau held immense power, it had to operate in the shadows, unable to see the light of day. But things were different now. With the arrival of the Fierce Beast Era, the Demon Management Bureau had come out into the open, taking full control of Wencheng.

Wu Tianyi’s status and position had risen dramatically.

You could say he was the local Emperor. Of course, his responsibilities were also immense—he had to protect the people of Wencheng.

「The scene shifts to the fallen district.」

The fallen district was now overrun with Fierce Beasts. One Taotie after another was attempting to raze the entire area to the ground. In front of these powerful Fierce Beasts, even towering skyscrapers were completely defenseless.

The most terrifying part was that there were now more than four hundred powerful Fierce Beasts in the fallen district. Each one was over twenty zhang tall and possessed unparalleled strength, leaving both the Demon Management Bureau and the Martial Cultivation Realm completely helpless against them.

As the giant snake manifested, the hundreds of Fierce Beast Taotie all sensed the provocation of a foreign enemy.

They all locked their gazes on the giant snake in the sky. Instantly, their roars shook the heavens, and the very space around them seemed to rip and tear.

The moment the Fierce Beast Taotie saw the glittering golden snake, drool dripped from the sharp teeth in their massive maws. Their eyes were filled with greed and bloodlust.

To them, that glittering golden snake was the most delicious food in the world. Eating it, swallowing it, would grant them immense Energy.

In an instant, the terrifying Fierce Beast Taotie leaped into the air, soaring skyward. They had massive heads and mouths, blood-red eyes under their armpits that glowed with a terrifying light, and green faces with long fangs. When they opened their mouths, a foul stench washed over everything.

”Hmph. Come on, then. This Snake King is going on a killing spree today!” The golden giant snake that Tu Xiao’an had transformed into was nothing short of terrifying.

This was to be a feast of slaughter, and also the moment the Bai Town Snake King would make his name known to the world.

”Thunder God’s Fury!”

The giant snake opened its massive maw, and a shocking bolt of immense thunder shot out, directly blasting a twenty-zhang-tall Fierce Beast to pieces. Severed limbs flew through the air.

WHOOSH... At the same time, on every street and alley in Wencheng, on every computer, mobile phone, and outdoor screen in every shopping mall, the same image appeared: the giant snake battling the Fierce Beasts in the fallen district.

”Go, Snake King!”

All of Wencheng’s citizens were focused on this great battle, watching with bated breath, their nerves on edge.

RUMBLE... RUMBLE... RUMBLE!

The situation in the fallen district was chaotic and unpredictable. Hundreds of Fierce Beasts let out thousands of furious roars as gales raged. The ferocious aura of the Ancient Fierce Beasts swept out in wave after wave.

One after another, the giant Fierce Beasts stood tall, grinding their fangs, all of them wanting to swallow the giant snake in the sky.

”Fierce Beasts, This Snake King will give you all a free Tribulation Crossing!”

”Manifest for me, Celestial Thunder and Celestial Fire!”

This was a live broadcast. Tu Xiao’an wanted to make the citizens of Wencheng his devout followers, so he naturally had to use impressive methods.

He would show the world what the methods of a Divine Spirit truly looked like.

In the void above the giant golden snake, a massive vortex appeared. Immediately after, purple Tribulation Cloud Flowers bloomed into existence, one vibrant blossom after another, accompanied by flashes of lightning and claps of thunder.

Then, on the opposite side, fiery Extraterrestrial Meteorites began to materialize one by one, their power overwhelming. The Might of Heaven and Earth swept across the land, and the sky and earth abruptly changed color.

GASP...

The millions upon millions of citizens in Wencheng were instantly dumbstruck. They stared blankly at the strange phenomenon in the sky, swallowing hard as if their throats had gone dry.

When had they ever seen such a spectacle?

Like country folk visiting the city for the first time, they were utterly stupefied. It was even more exaggerated than any fantasy movie humans had ever produced.

”A Divine Spirit! These are truly the methods of a God! Long live the Snake King! The Snake King is invincible!”

In an instant, the people of Wencheng went wild, so excited they could barely contain themselves.

The miraculous phenomenon appearing in the sky made the people feel they could die without regrets. Having witnessed the methods of a Divine Spirit, their lives were now complete.

From...!

From...!

From...!

”Ding... Congratulations, Host, for receiving a wave of 3,608,532 Power of Faith.”

”Ding... Congratulations, Host, for receiving a huge wave of 5,865,321 Power of Faith.”

At that moment, a flood of notifications appeared in Tu Xiao’an’s mind. The frenzy of Wencheng’s citizens brought a result that gave him an incredible rush.

In just a few breaths, Tu Xiao’an had actually reaped nearly ten million Faith Points.

’Good heavens.’

You could say that now, every single citizen in Wencheng was contributing Power of Faith to him, and among them were even many Awakened Martial Cultivators.

But that wasn’t all. The most pleasant surprise was the explosive increase in his number of followers.

”Ding... Congratulations, Host. Your number of followers has successfully broken three million.”

Before Tu Xiao’an came to Wencheng, he had less than two million followers. Now, it had jumped straight to three million.

”Ding... Congratulations, Host. Your number of followers has broken four million.”

’Holy crap!’

Even Tu Xiao’an was startled.

’Looks like my Celestial Tribulation flex was a huge success.’

One could say that the moment the phenomenon of Crossing the Tribulation appeared, it truly blew everyone’s minds. The spectacle, the sheer grandeur of it all, was just too immense.

Everyone was left in shock by this visual feast of a Celestial Tribulation.
