Invincible Snake Emperor

Jiang Xingze enjoyed watching the Vampire Snake devour people. He found it wonderful. But he never in his wildest dreams imagined that he, too, would one day be swallowed by it.

This was a dark version of ”The Farmer and the Snake.” Jiang Xingze knew the Vampire Snake was incomparably ferocious, yet he spoiled it, raised it, and helped it eat people.

When the snake no longer needed his help, he would eventually become its food.

Good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil. Heaven spares no one.

BURP...

The Vampire Snake swallowed him in one gulp, let out a satisfied burp, and wore an expression as if the world had finally fallen quiet. Meanwhile, Tu Xiao’an watched with indifference, unmoved and not the least bit surprised.

This was the Vampire Snake he knew—incredibly ferocious. How could it tolerate a human droning on before it?

He felt not even a shred of pity for Jiang Xingze being eaten, because in Tu Xiao’an’s eyes, Jiang Xingze had long been a dead man.

He just hadn’t expected the man to be so lucky, surviving for so long and even luring the Vampire Snake out of the Shanye Group.

So many people had died on She Mountain, plunging it into terror of a man-eating monster.

The blame for this all fell on Jiang Xingze. For him to die just like that was getting off easy.

However, Tu Xiao’an had also intentionally let the Vampire Snake eat him. Because Jiang Xingze had aided a villain, helping the Vampire Snake devour people, being eaten by it now was the most fitting end.

With the buffoon gone, Tu Xiao’an stared solemnly at the colossal thirty-meter-long Vampire Snake. He even felt that the Vampire Snake was a sliver stronger than the Ancient Snake Spirit.

His serpentine eyes narrowed as he focused on the Vampire Snake. ’Insight.’

”Ding... Super Class mutated evolutionary body: the Vampire Snake, an Awakened Snake Species at Level 28, controlling Flame Power.”

”Ding... By devouring this snake, the host will complete the system mission. Your Level will instantly increase by three, the second evolutionary phase will be unlocked, and you will gain control of its Flame Power.”

The system’s second message followed.

Hearing this, Tu Xiao’an’s serpentine eyes brightened. ’Just as I thought. If I devour the Vampire Snake, its Flame Power will be mine.’

Plus, just by eating the Vampire Snake, he could go up three Levels.

In truth, those Levels were the reward for completing the system mission. Logically, devouring the Vampire Snake should also grant a large amount of Evolutionary Energy, but since this snake was the key to his second evolutionary phase, that energy wasn’t counted.

Still, the Vampire Snake was a full Level 28, truly a sliver stronger than the Ancient Cultivated Snake.

He had to admit, the Vampire Snake’s opportunities had been no less than his own.

Level 28... a full eight Levels higher than him. The gap between the two snakes was actually immense.

Tu Xiao’an felt the pressure, but the greatest pressure came from the Vampire Snake’s Flame Power.

This attribute ability made Tu Xiao’an feel a mix of love and hate. He loved that if he defeated the Vampire Snake, its ability would become his own.

He hated that defeating a Vampire Snake with a Flame Ability was not going to be so simple.

He and this snake were like mortal enemies; only one of them could survive.

What Tu Xiao’an was doing now was not just for his own revenge, but for the sake of countless other living beings.

If this snake survived, it would be a huge disaster for the Human World and all the creatures of nature.

At this moment, the two snakes faced each other from a distance. One was in the sky, merely a meter long. The other was on the ground, possessing a colossal, towering thirty-meter body. Yet, they were locked in a standoff, their Battle Intent surging, each wishing it could swallow the other in a single gulp.

There was no need for words. Today, there was only battle.

Who lived and who died would be decided by strength alone. Tu Xiao’an had failed once before. This time, with the system on his side, he would not allow himself to fail again.

He would charge forward, his Battle Intent blazing. He would spill his own blood if he had to, but he would secure the kill.

In Snake Valley, the wind swept past, thick with Killing Intent. The two snakes, one in the sky and one on the earth, radiated a terrifying aura that grew increasingly intense. The space between heaven and earth filled with a chilling, murderous intent.

The Gold and Silver Snake in the sky flickered with lightning. Arcs of silver electricity, like smaller snakes, darted around its body. A strange phenomenon erupted: the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a bone-chilling cold filled the air, as if a blizzard had arrived.

In contrast, the Vampire Snake’s thirty-meter, towering body was wreathed in roaring flames, like a living Fire Qilin. The scorching heat evaporated the very air, and wisps of white smoke rose, Formless, into the sky.

”BOOM... BOOM... BOOM...”

An incomparably cold aura and an incredibly hot aura collided in the air first. Earth-shattering explosions and waves of fire erupted, accompanied by crackling tremors.

Either aura was enough to plunge all living things into despair and death, not even sparing humans, the most intelligent of all beings.

Even a typical Awakener would be helpless. If you were caught in such a terrifying and brutal aura, it would crush you until blood streamed from all seven of your orifices and you died.

The two snakes stood at the very peak of Rank Two. Unless a Rank Three Creature appeared, they were invincible.

”Vampire Snake, do you remember a young boy who fought you in the dense forests of She Mountain for three days and three nights?”

An intense battle was about to erupt, but the hovering Gold and Silver Snake let out a roar like a Bloodthirsty Asura returned from Hell.

The Vampire Snake froze for a moment, its aura faltering as if it had been plunged into a memory.

”You were gravely injured and fled, while that boy was struck by your venom and died.”

The Vampire Snake seemed to remember and understand. It roared viciously, ”You’re here to avenge him?”

”No... I’m here to avenge myself. And to avenge all the people you cruelly devoured. For you to live is an offense against heaven itself!”

’Divine Thunder!’ A strange light flashed through Tu Xiao’an’s serpentine eyes, which were cold as ice. He uttered the words, and the lightning around his body began to seethe, as if the Thunder God himself had descended, Ruling the World and unleashing Celestial Punishment.

Just as the two words ”Divine Thunder” were spoken, the sky above the Vampire Snake exploded as if with a sudden clap of thunder. A thick, silver snake of lightning manifested, seeming to slash a wound across the face of the sky before it descended with a deafening roar.

CRACK!

The Vampire Snake’s massive body had nowhere to dodge, but in the next second, a giant crater appeared in the ground, sending dust flying.

Its mountain-like body had vanished. A roar echoed as the Vampire Snake appeared below Tu Xiao’an. It opened its cavernous mouth, and roiling flames erupted, creating a Sea of Fire in the sky. Wild waves of fire, one after another, clawed their way toward the Gold and Silver Snake’s small body, seeking to devour it.

Hot... so hot... hundreds of times hotter than boiling water.

Tu Xiao’an looked around. He was sealed off in every direction by a surging, scorching Flame. It wanted to cook him alive.

’Condense.’

His serpentine eyes narrowed, and his formless Consciousness Power created a Light Shield that enveloped his body.

’Burst!’

The Light Shield instantly erupted with a wave of Qi, which swept away the roiling Flames with the force of a storm, scattering them in all directions.

As the torrent of Flame scattered, Tu Xiao’an moved through the air like a phantom, nimbly shifting his position.

In terms of size, the Vampire Snake was thirty meters long. Even if Tu Xiao’an expanded to his maximum of twenty meters, he would still be at a disadvantage. It was better to leverage his smaller size to defeat his larger foe. Besides, the Vampire Snake was in no way his inferior when it came to physical defense and strength.

The eight-Level gap was not just for show.
