Chapter 521: Chapter 508: Li You Breaks Down (1)
The deep crater instantly terrified the millions of snakes and rats nearby into fleeing. If they were even slightly caught in the crossfire, their lives would be forfeit.
A Tribulation Cloud Flower bloomed in the void as a Celestial Thunderbolt struck and an Extraterrestrial Meteorite fell, giving everyone a strong sense of déjà vu.
It wasn’t just Li You who was starting to question his own existence because of Tu Xiao’an; even the other Demons sucked in sharp breaths, their expressions shifting as they stared at the slender figure standing in mid-air.
’Unleashing a Celestial Tribulation? What kind of concept is that? Is he even a creature of this Land? There should be a limit to how freakish one can be!’
"Sigh, our master’s freakishness far exceeds our imagination."
To survive a surefire-death Celestial Tribulation and turn his own ordinary lightning into Celestial Thunder... it was practically the equivalent of a mortal undergoing Ascension to become an Immortal.
The Ape King curled his lip upon seeing Tu Xiao’an unleash the Celestial Thunder and Celestial Fire. That was the very move that had killed him, after which he had become the Snake’s Battle Companion.
Suddenly, he felt a bit of sympathy for Li You, because the Ape King knew that the other’s miserable fate was only just beginning.
In the deep crater, the fire raged to the heavens. For a long while, there was no movement.
Tu Xiao’an stood between heaven and earth, waiting. He was getting impatient, ready to unleash more Celestial Thunder and Celestial Fire.
’He can’t be that weak, can he? I only hit him with a single blast of Celestial Thunder and Celestial Fire.’
In truth, the Celestial Thunder and Celestial Fire Tu Xiao’an had just unleashed were no joke. Their power was immense, even more terrifying than what a typical Demon Spirit would face while Crossing the Tribulation.
Why? Because during a Celestial Tribulation, whether it was Celestial Thunder or Celestial Fire, each blast was progressively stronger than the last. It was a gradual process.
It wouldn’t kill you with a single strike, unless you were simply too weak.
But Tu Xiao’an had complete control over the power of the Celestial Thunder and Celestial Fire he unleashed. And to put Li You in his place, he had gone all out.
Still, he waited. Li You’s physical body was powerful, he was Level 35, and he had reached the Pseudo Demon King Level.
That alone shouldn’t have been enough to kill him.
Just then, there was finally movement from the deep crater. Li You slowly poked his head out, looking completely wretched. It was as if all his former sharpness had been stripped away.
When Tu Xiao’an saw Li You’s head appear, his eyes instantly lit up. With a wave of his left hand, a Tribulation Cloud Flower bloomed out of thin air. Amidst a Thunderclap, the tribulation clouds churned like a tide.
He also waved his right hand, and a blazing Extraterrestrial Meteorite manifested in the void. The phenomenon was terrifying, its oppressive might so suffocating it left one breathless.
Li You was just about to climb out of the crater when the rumbling thunder grew more and more intense. He looked up to see a brand-new Tribulation Cloud Flower and a magnificent, fiery Extraterrestrial Meteorite.
"Son of a bitch!"
Li You couldn’t help but curse aloud. He felt like his life had gone completely to shit; a maelstrom of curses raged in his mind. His eyes slowly widened as the Tribulation Cloud Flower bloomed beautifully in his direction and the Extraterrestrial Meteorite fell toward him with unerring precision.
The scene, the spectacle—it was both magnificent and desolate, enough to plunge anyone into despair.
Li You felt his entire world collapse. He met the "enthusiasm" of the Celestial Thunder and Celestial Fire head-on and tumbled back into the deep crater to "enjoy" it some more.
The ground of Monkey Mountain began to shake violently, and countless fissures, stretching for an unknown number of miles, spiderwebbed outwards.
The battle between the two great species came to a brief standstill. The snakes and rats were utterly terrified by the Celestial Thunder and Celestial Fire, paralyzed with fear and apprehension.
Luo Ziyun, who had been quietly watching the battle between the strongest Snake Species from atop the Titan Snake, now had sparkling eyes. She gazed deeply at Tu Xiao’an as he stood in mid-air, as if she were looking at a peerless hero.
As she watched, the most beautiful smile in the world graced her face.
Cradling the Lily that Tu Xiao’an had given her only improved Luo Ziyun’s mood.
But the Lily in her hands was filled with despair.
When the Flower Demon saw the Extraterrestrial Meteorite Tu Xiao’an had unleashed, it finally realized how gentle he had been with it back then.
’If he had hit me with one of those,’ it thought, ’I wouldn’t even be a flower right now. I would’ve been reduced to ash long ago.’
From beginning to end, the Flower Demon, cradled in Luo Ziyun’s hands, had not spoken a single word.
It didn’t dare. As a Deep Mountain Great Demon, though it was currently very fragile, it was still extremely sensitive and could sense how terrifying this woman was.
’A Demon King. This breathtakingly beautiful woman... she almost certainly has the strength of a Demon King.’
Although she hadn’t done anything, her just standing there quietly was enough to inspire terror.
Those at a low Realm couldn’t sense it, but the higher one’s Realm, the more sensitive one became.
This trip to Monkey Mountain had been the Flower Demon’s complete and utter undoing.
Still, compared to the Centipede Great Demon that had been stomped to death, it was lucky.
...
Having endured another round of Celestial Thunder and Celestial Fire, the crater had expanded immensely, now as wide as a dozen acres.
HIIISSS...
At that moment, a great black snake shot straight up from the crater. Its roar was like thunder, its blood-red eyes so fierce they seemed to slice through space itself.
Li You had been forced to reveal his true snake form.
But while the black snake Li You had manifested looked ferocious and terrifying, its body was wreathed in crackling purple electricity and an inextinguishable Flame that clung to it like a shadow, burning relentlessly.
They tortured Li You’s body at every moment.
The most terrifying thing about Celestial Thunder and Celestial Fire was that they would neither dissipate nor be extinguished until their Celestial Power was completely exhausted.
"How does it feel?"
Tu Xiao’an watched as the great black snake charged to a stop right in front of him, locking onto him with a gaze of absolute ferocity that brimmed with monstrous hatred.
"So what if you can unleash Celestial Thunder and Celestial Fire?" the black snake’s voice was a mournful wail. "I passed my real Celestial Tribulation long ago! What is this supposed to be? You think you can defeat me, Li You, with this? Impossible!"
"Is that so?" Tu Xiao’an gave a cool smile, his eyes narrowing slightly.
BOOM!
The purple electricity and Flame enveloping the black snake’s body suddenly flared to life, viciously ravaging its form.
AARGH!
The black snake began to thrash uncontrollably in the air, enduring immense pain.
Unless he possessed the absolute power to disperse the purple electricity and Flame from his body...
Clearly, Li You could not.
"Li You, now you should understand why I was crowned a King the moment I proved my Dao," Tu Xiao’an said. "A Snake Species with Emperor’s Qi like you... you’re absolutely nothing before me."
Tu Xiao’an’s gaze was cold. With a grasp of his hand, the Heaven Swaying Sword silently appeared in his grip.
"Now, have a taste of my Divine Sword."
Gripping the Heaven Swaying Sword, Tu Xiao’an’s figure flickered, and he suddenly appeared above the black snake’s head.
Li You was being tortured to the brink of death by the Celestial Thunder and Celestial Fire. As they say, a single spark can start a prairie fire.
As long as even a trace of Celestial Thunder and Celestial Fire remained on his body, Tu Xiao’an could infuse it with more power.
It had to be said, Tu Xiao’an’s current methods were just too freakish. Li You, this Super Emperor Fierce Sun Snake, could only be relegated to a supporting role.
Out of the corner of his eye, Li You saw the terrifyingly sharp Sword Aura of the Heaven Swaying Sword in Tu Xiao’an’s hand, and he felt like he was about to break down. ’Why did it suddenly turn out like this?’
’I should have been able to defeat him.’
The tables had suddenly turned, and his life now hung by a thread.
His Snake Pupils contracted. The sword moved.
