Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 802: Chapter 732: Giant Baby

A gaze once again fell upon Tu Xiao’an.

What kind of eyes were those? They seemed ordinary and calm, but they contained endless, thick Evil Qi. Just what kind of terrifying past had this figure experienced?

Tu Xiao’an had thought his own Snake King’s Eye was terrifying enough. But compared to the eyes of the Ancient Demon, his gaze was simply too kind, too innocent. He stood completely still, sweat slowly trickling down his forehead. He was nervous. That’s right, even a generation’s Snake Emperor had become tense.

It was too terrifying. Upon resurrection, the Ancient Demon was like a Killing God returning from Hell. The formless power concealed within its calmness was enough to strike terror into one’s heart. Perhaps this was what a true big shot from Ancient Times was like. Even after being dead for countless ages, it still possessed such an imposing presence.

Tu Xiao’an felt extremely frustrated. He had thought that after subduing the ruin’s Artifact Spirit, the matter would come to a close and he could return with the beauty in his arms. However, this snake was being naive again. The heavens loved to toy with him and play jokes on him. This unexpected twist left Tu Xiao’an completely dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, the Ancient Demon slowly stepped out of the Crystal Coffin. With its robust five-meter-tall physique, every step it took was soul-stirring, seemingly twisting space itself.

Seeing this, the Artifact Spirit on the sidelines was secretly ecstatic. Its old master was alive! He was really alive! To it, this was undoubtedly incredibly good news. It was a light at the end of the tunnel. Now that its old master had revived—a man who never tolerated any offense—he would definitely kill this snake with thunderous means.

In front of its master, this snake was simply a mere ant. Once the snake was killed, wouldn’t it be free again? It would no longer be enslaved. Haha... Even the heavens were on its side!

Following that, the Ancient Demon, having stepped out of the Crystal Coffin, stared at Tu Xiao’an with eyes as placid as an ancient well. Its gaze locked onto him as it opened its mouth, letting out a deep voice. ”Who am I...”

Tu Xiao’an was dumbfounded the moment it spoke. Did it say that wrong? Shouldn’t it be asking, ”Who are you?” Why did it ask, ”Who am I?” What was going on?

Was this Ancient Demon truly resurrected, or was this merely a corpse reanimating? Its imposing aura looked terrifying, but its brain seemed a bit slow.

”Who am I?” the Ancient Demon asked again, looking at Tu Xiao’an.

Tu Xiao’an’s handsome face twitched, while the Artifact Spirit beside him also wore a look of utter bewilderment.

”You are... you are... you are my... son.” After a long pause, Tu Xiao’an uttered a sentence that was practically begging for death.

Hearing this, the nearby Artifact Spirit’s eyes bulged, and it planted face-first into the ground. It felt as if a flock of crows was flying over its head, cawing endlessly: CAW... CAW... CAW...

How bold, shameless, and arrogant! He actually dared to claim that a grand and magnificent Ancient God was his son! Such words were tantamount to poking a hole in the sky. It was simply too audacious!

If it were the Artifact Spirit from before, hearing such a brazen statement would have definitely driven it to fight Tu Xiao’an to the death. Anyone who insulted its great master deserved a gruesome death. But... the Artifact Spirit’s current status was very awkward. Both parties were like masters to it, so it could only play a supporting role.

Tu Xiao’an himself was terrified after saying it, but he figured he might as well go for broke. Since the Ancient Demon had resurrected, it wasn’t going to let him off anyway. It wasn’t like it would invite him over for drinks. Seeing that the other party was currently out of its right mind, he decided to take whatever verbal advantage he could get.

Taking a physical advantage, however, would likely be very difficult. The Ancient Demon’s imposing might was simply too strong. Tu Xiao’an knew his own limits very well; he couldn’t possibly be its match. Even to deal with just the Ancient Demon’s Artifact Spirit, he had been forced to use the Unconditional Taming Skill.

”Son???”

The Ancient Demon looked at Tu Xiao’an calmly, flashes of light glinting in its eyes. With its five-meter-tall physique, its aura was awe-inspiring, and its eyes held endless, thick Evil Qi. The temperature in the magnificent hall plummeted by several degrees.

It was over. The old master was about to fly into a rage. The sky was going to fall.

The Artifact Spirit knew all too well how terrifying its old master was. He was once the Sovereign of this world. For that damn snake—oh, no, its new master—to actually dare to insult the old master like this, was he tired of living? Haha, that was fine too. Once the old master was enraged, he would inevitably kill the snake. This was exactly the ending the Artifact Spirit wanted. That damned snake had used some unknown, despicable method to subdue it, the grand Artifact Spirit of the ruin. How hateful! Just go die!

However!

”You are my daddy?” Instead of flying into a rage, the Ancient Demon looked at Tu Xiao’an in confusion, like a giant baby.

PFFT!

It was as if the Artifact Spirit had violently coughed up a mouthful of blood, its entire worldview shattered. It had thought its old master would be furious, yet...! Had its old master’s brain short-circuited? Or had his memories not yet returned upon awakening?

Tu Xiao’an’s eyes lit up. The other party actually bought it? My God. Even he found it hard to believe, feeling completely dazed.

”Be a good boy, daddy will take you to see the little stars.” Tu Xiao’an’s eyes twinkled as he doubled down on his death-courting words.

Despite saying that, he maintained an absolutely safe distance from the Ancient Demon. He was terrified that the other party would suddenly snap out of it and slap him to death.

”Daddy!” The towering and mighty five-meter-tall Ancient Demon suddenly teleported toward Tu Xiao’an. It looked like it wanted to give him a bear hug.

In the very next second, Tu Xiao’an was tightly locked in a pair of powerful arms, not even having the time to react. The other party’s speed was simply too fast. With this hug, Tu Xiao’an felt as though all the bones in his body were going to be crushed.

The strength was overwhelmingly powerful—so powerful that with Tu Xiao’an’s current strength, he couldn’t even fathom it. Although he was now a generation’s Snake Emperor, in front of this Ancient Demon, he was merely a three-year-old child.

”Daddy! Daddy...” The giant Ancient Demon baby happily held Tu Xiao’an and bounded around, extremely thrilled.

Tu Xiao’an’s face turned pale. He felt like he was suffocating, as if he were going to melt.

”Old master, you’re mistaken! You’re mistaken! How could he possibly be your daddy?” Shaking off its stupor, the Artifact Spirit hurriedly ran over to explain.

WHOOSH... BOOM!

The Artifact Spirit was sent flying by a slap from the giant Ancient Demon baby, leaving an imprint on a wall. Soon after, the Artifact Spirit struggled out of the wall with great difficulty and flew back over to explain again.

”Old master, it’s me, Xiaoyang! Your Artifact Spirit! Snap out of it!”

WHOOSH... BOOM!

The Artifact Spirit was slapped into the wall once again. It fell into despair. Its world turned entirely gray. How could things turn out like this?

When the Artifact Spirit saw its old master come back to life, it had hoped he would kill the snake so it could be free again, no longer bound by its soul. But... but how could things turn out like this?

Suddenly, it remembered the very last words its old master had told it before his death.

”Xiaoyang, after I die, although there is a one-in-a-ten-million chance of me reviving, that is only because my physical body is too strong and exists alongside the heavens. By continuously absorbing nature’s spiritual energy over a long period of time, it’s possible for a new sentience to be born. Even if I am resurrected, it might not truly be me.”

A new sentience?

The Artifact Spirit experienced a moment of enlightenment. Could it be that the current old master wasn’t the original old master at all, but rather a newly formed sentience that had resurrected? Its intelligence was just like that of a newborn child! So, upon seeing Tu Xiao’an for the first time, and combined with the nonsense he had spewed, it genuinely believed he was its daddy.

GASP...!

Inhaling sharply, the Artifact Spirit felt like it was going crazy. What in the world was going on here? This world was simply too insane. The grand Sovereign of the world from the past was now calling a snake ”daddy”!
