Chapter 728: Chapter 662: Kill, Kill, Kill Without Mercy

The rampaging army of races suddenly fell silent.

Fuck!

Tu Xiao’an cursed under his breath. "Yellow Demon King! Gray Demon King! Your grudge is with me. Don’t drag the other races here to die! Do you really think the Snake Race is afraid?"

The Gray Demon King stepped forward, his beady, rat-like eyes glinting as he grinned savagely. "Snake Demon King, you must be panicking your ass off. It’s not too late to surrender. Otherwise, every last snake of your Snake Race will be annihilated."

"You damn rat, don’t get cocky. You’ll be crying soon enough." Tu Xiao’an’s killing intent flared. He knew the war between the races was now inevitable.

Outside the Snake Palace, the sounds of cataclysmic slaughter now echoed, sweeping in from all directions and descending upon the palace.

’If a fight is what they want, a fight is what they’ll get.’ Tu Xiao’an knew it was now impossible to avoid immense slaughter.

Tu Xiao’an hovered in the air. Dark clouds churned overhead, filled with ranks of Rank Three Demon Spirits that loomed like Celestial Soldiers and Generals pressing down on the Snake Palace. Swarming like a plague of locusts, the dense mass of Rank Two Demons was like the Yellow River overflowing its banks.

"Who dares drive my Snake Race to extinction?"

Suddenly, a pale old man appeared in the sky before the Snake Palace. His eyes were hollow, yet they shone with a dazzling, colorful light. He stood directly in the path of the army of Rank Three Demon Spirits.

The old man swept a cold gaze over them, and the surrounding temperature instantly seemed to drop. An incomparably terrifying aura unique to the Snake Race erupted from his body, blanketing everything.

"Is that a Deep Mountain Demon King?"

The Celestial Soldiers and Generals formed by the Rank Three Demon Spirits were dumbfounded. For a moment, none dared to move an inch, all of them staring at the old man with horrified eyes.

"Who is that? What’s going on?" The Yellow Demon King and the Gray Demon King were also stunned as they stared at the old man and his terrifying Snake Race aura.

’How could the Snake Race possibly have a Deep Mountain Demon King from their own kind?’

’This is ridiculous!’

"Take one more step, and you die."

The old man’s domineering presence filled the sky as he radiated his terrifying Snake Race aura. His form became hazy and dream-like.

’Hmph... Stunned silent, aren’t you?’

Tu Xiao’an’s greatest worry had been the Celestial Soldiers and Generals formed from the Rank Three Demon Spirits. There were over ten thousand of them. If they descended on the Snake Palace all at once, the result would be catastrophic.

To stop an army like that, nothing less than a Deep Mountain Demon King would suffice.

This was where the Old Snake King came in.

But Tu Xiao’an wasn’t just standing by, either.

’Descend, Celestial Tribulation!’

Instantly, nearly half of the Power of Thunder and Lightning and Flame Power within him was drained.

RUMBLE...!

A massive vortex appeared in the void, and soon, Tribulation Cloud Flowers and Extraterrestrial Meteorites began to materialize out of thin air.

"Keep coming, if you want to die."

The Old Snake King was holding the line in the sky, but the number of densely packed Demons below was even more terrifying and could not be underestimated.

"What? A Celestial Tribulation???"

The invading army of races, which had begun to advance again, fell into another uproar. They all looked up at the dreadful sky, where the phenomenon of the Celestial Tribulation was terrifying beyond compare.

"Don’t panic! Don’t be afraid! It’s fake—just an illusion created by Elemental Power!" the Yellow Demon King shouted, trying to steady his troops’ morale.

"Fake my ass!" Tu Xiao’an cursed. With a single thought, a Tribulation Cloud Flower bloomed and blasted the heart of the enemy army below.

Instantly, thunder boomed and smoke filled the air, blotting out the sun as a river of blood began to flow.

AH... AHH... AHHH...!

A huge swath of Demons died under the Celestial Thunder, instantly creating an empty void in the center of their formation.

"It’s a real Celestial Tribulation! Everyone, run!"

The Yellow Demon King unleashed his incomparably terrifying Demon King aura. As Celestial Thunder continued to rumble, he roared, "Deserters will be executed! Charge into the Snake Palace and extinguish the Snake Race!"

"My warriors, kill for your king!"

The six Demon Kings, who had been beaten into submission by the Six-Eared Macaque Divine Monkey, saw their own forces attacking and immediately rejoined their ranks.

This way, the Divine Ape wouldn’t be able to find them.

Even if he did, a large group of experts from the allied races would be there to intercept him.

’Then you can all just die! Rain down absolute destruction!’

Tu Xiao’an’s eyes grew cold and indifferent. ’If you’re not afraid of your own experts dying, then you can all die together.’

Beneath the Celestial Tribulation, there is only annihilation.

First, Tu Xiao’an would whittle down the strength of the invading army.

"Cousin, I’m leaving that great snake, the Deep Mountain Demon King, to you. Don’t let our Celestial Soldiers and Generals be intimidated."

"A two-pronged assault, from the sky and the ground! Give the Snake Race no chance to breathe!" the Yellow Demon King declared. "I’ll deal with the Snake Demon King and keep him occupied."

The Gray Demon King looked at the old man who stood barring their path, then snorted. "Don’t you worry, Cousin. I never expected the Snake Race to be hiding a great snake on the level of a Deep Mountain Demon King. We truly underestimated them."

SWOOSH...!

The Gray Demon King’s Demon Qi boiled. As he flew forward, a terrifying, rat-shaped phantom with a ferocious face appeared above his head. It looked like an Ancient Fierce Beast, and its utterly berserk aura swept forward without restraint.

"HSSS..."

The old man’s hollow eyes began to glow with myriad colors, and his form grew indistinct. In the next second, he transformed into a terrifying, colossal Skeleton Snake, soaring straight up and making the very heavens tremble in fear.

"Cousin, that’s the Snake Race’s former Monarch, the Skeleton Snake King!" The Yellow Demon King’s expression turned grim as he identified the creature.

The Gray Demon King stared at the massive snake skeleton before him and cursed inwardly.

"Get out of my way!"

"Celestial Soldiers and Generals, charge!"

With the Gray Demon King engaging the Skeleton Snake King, the cloud of Celestial Soldiers and Generals breathed a collective sigh of relief and pressed their attack on the Snake Palace.

’Five-headed Evil Snake, today you will eat your fill! Eat until you become a Demon King!’

With a single thought from Tu Xiao’an, the Five-headed Evil Snake, which had long been raring to go, transformed into a giant snake nearly a thousand feet long and positioned itself imposingly before the Snake Palace.

The murderous Evil Qi emanating from its body was terrifying to behold. Its five heads swayed in the air, creating a horrifying spectacle.

HISS...!

’I’ve got so many damn Battle Companions.’

This Evil Snake was the only one of Tu Xiao’an’s companions that he hadn’t evolved into a Divine Beast. But it was a Fierce Beast, a serpent of slaughter, possessing the bloodlines of both the Ba Snake and the Nine-headed Snake.

Its five heads were Spiritual and Fierce, its body was majestic and colossal, and its power was in no way inferior to that of a Demon King.

In the next instant, Tu Xiao’an appeared atop one of the Evil Snake’s heads. With a flick of his hand, the Heaven Swaying Sword materialized in his grasp. The blade hummed, unleashing a violent surge of Energy. A single sword shadow then appeared from thin air and multiplied into myriads of sword-light phantoms that slashed toward the cloud-like formation of Celestial Soldiers and Generals.

SWISH SWISH SWISH...!

The dark cloud of them instantly dispersed. The ten thousand-plus Rank Three Demon Spirits scattered like stars in the night sky, surrounding the Snake Palace from all directions.

"If you want to lose your Lifebound Golden Cores, then come at me!" Tu Xiao’an stood atop the Evil Snake’s head, the Heaven Swaying Sword pointed toward the sky. His sudden roar was like a clap of thunder, and his eyes shot out two brilliant beams of Divine Light.

"Kill! Kill the Snake Demon King! Extinguish the Snake Race!" the Yellow Demon King bellowed from a short distance away.

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH...!

In an instant, the more than ten thousand Rank Three Demon Spirits charged toward Tu Xiao’an and the Five-headed Evil Snake like a volley of ten thousand arrows.

The sky filled with the Demon Qi of their passage. The lightning-fast figures of the Demon Spirits lunged at Tu Xiao’an from all directions, forming a net of dark clouds that closed in on him. The lone man and snake were trapped, surrounded by piercing Demon Qi and killing intent.

For a moment, it seemed as if the world went dark and time itself froze.

"Die! Die! Die!"

A blood-red light flashed in Tu Xiao’an’s eyes. He instantly erupted with a terrifying aura, one that inspired both intense killing intent and abyssal despair. He narrowed his eyes, and his gaze became tangible, shooting out as two beams of red light. In their wake, the Golden Cores of more than a dozen Demon Spirits were ripped from their bodies and left floating in the air.

ROAR...!

The five Spiritual and Fierce heads of the Five-headed Evil Snake opened their cavernous maws and began swallowing the Demon Spirits one by one.

Meanwhile, the Celestial Thunder and Celestial Fire from the void rained down like an artillery barrage, claiming the lives of countless Demons.

This was a race war unlike any other, one filled with death, yet Tu Xiao’an still hadn’t deployed the experts of his own Snake Race.

He wanted to first wear down the enemy with his own power. ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

This war of attrition was a cruel one. It was not easy for animals to become Demons and practice Cultivation. Every step, whether to Rank Two or Rank Three, was exceedingly difficult.

He truly didn’t want to slaughter them like this, but Tu Xiao’an had no other choice.

Relying on its incredibly tough Snake Scales, the Five-headed Evil Snake ignored the attacks of the Demon Spirits and simply continued to devour them one by one. Tu Xiao’an himself was even more fearless.

But their numbers were simply too great, and many Demon Spirits had already begun to descend upon the Snake Palace.

He had no other option.

"Snake Race, hear my command! Kill! Kill for your king! Show no mercy!"

The Snake Palace trembled. Countless experts of the Snake Race transformed into black shadows and shot out to defend their race and protect their home.

The greatest war between races in the Yaoling Mountain Range’s several-thousand-year history had finally erupted in a chaotic frenzy of demons.
