Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 500: Chapter 489: One Deep Mountain Great Demon After Another

"Hmph. This is the price for underestimating me."

Miss Baihua watched the Snake Demon disappear into the explosion and snorted arrogantly.

It had been countless years since she’d last been underestimated. All those who had once looked down on her for being a mere flower had long since returned to ashes and dust.

Through long ages of Cultivation, she had grown from an ordinary flower into a figure that even the many Great Demons of the Yaoling Mountain Range had to respectfully address as "Miss Baihua." How could she be simple? Moreover, as a Great Demon who was so beautiful after her Transformation, she was exceedingly popular.

Beings with weaker original forms often become astonishingly powerful once they cultivate to higher levels. Without sufficient means, it’s impossible to climb so high.

A species might have several Demon Spirits who achieve enlightenment, but for a plant, just awakening is a miracle in itself.

Besides, the Great Demon Level was already the pinnacle of power in the Yaoling Mountain Range. A being of her caliber could unleash a devastating catastrophe upon any human City.

"I don’t even know what you were trying to do."

Just as the fierce explosion subsided, a leisurely voice, laced with extreme contempt, echoed from within the billowing smoke.

’He’s not dead?’ Miss Baihua’s beautiful face fell. That was one of her ultimate killing moves. The power of each of her blooming flowers surpassed that of a human missile.

’Besides, with countless flowers exploding at once, how could he possibly survive?’

’Even if you didn’t die, you should at least be severely injured!’

But as a gust of wind carrying the stench of blood blew past, Tu Xiao’an reappeared completely unscathed. He dusted himself off and said, "I’m a Snake. I don’t really know how to be gentle with a lady, and I don’t have time to play with you."

"Burn."

A scorching Flame erupted around Tu Xiao’an. With a wave of his hand, the Flame detached from his body and, in the next instant, completely enveloped Miss Baihua’s flowerbed, forming a blazing ring of fire that burned furiously.

"I, the Snake King, will give you time to consider. You can either wither away and perish while you think, or you can choose to submit."

As for how much time she had to consider, that depended on how long this Miss Baihua could last within Tu Xiao’an’s Flame, which contained Celestial Might.

If she could hold on for an hour, she’d have an hour to think. If she could only last for ten minutes, then, well, her life would only last for ten minutes.

Plant-type beings were especially afraid of the Fire Element.

The moment Tu Xiao’an’s Celestial Fire enveloped her, Miss Baihua’s face lost all color. The vibrant flowers in the bed withered rapidly, losing all their vitality.

She subconsciously tried to flee, but was immediately seized by terror. This fire was unparalleled, carrying a dreadful divine power that felt as if it could burn her very soul to ashes.

"AHHH..."

Miss Baihua shrieked miserably within the Flame, her exquisite face seemingly aging in an instant.

Tu Xiao’an watched with cold eyes. This was truly being ruthless with a beauty. After achieving enlightenment, his state of mind had become even more detached.

’She’s an enemy. Why bother being polite?’

"Master, don’t hurt my goddess!"

Suddenly, a massive, ancient tree broke through the chaos of the battlefield, standing before Tu Xiao’an as its leaves rustled to the ground.

Tu Xiao’an was taken aback. He took a serious look at the Tree Spirit. According to the system’s information, Charlie was about to face his Celestial Tribulation. As long as he passed it, he would become an extraordinary Tree Demon. Most importantly, he would be able to drop Third-grade Spirit Fruits.

’He’s a real Money Tree.’

What did a single Third-grade Fruit signify? If a normal person ate one, it could definitively extend their lifespan.

"’Goddess?’ Tu Xiao’an was speechless. ’Charlie, do you know this Flower Demon?’"

The ancient tree twisted its trunk, leaves tumbling down, as it said shyly, "No, but Master, it’s so difficult for plant-types to awaken. They’re all treasures! And she’s a flower, an exquisitely beautiful flower that became a Demon... Charlie thinks it might be love at first sight."

Just five minutes ago, when Miss Baihua had manifested her graceful and beautiful form from the flowerbed, the tree had taken one look and felt like it was about to explode on the spot. Its woody heart had pounded wildly.

Hearing Charlie’s words, Tu Xiao’an was rendered speechless. A tree was telling him about love at first sight?

’Is this old tree trying to bloom anew?’

"Master, quick, retract your Flame! Plant-types can’t withstand being burned like this!" Charlie said anxiously.

"Get aside. You’re acting like an old pervert."

’This Flower Demon is stunningly beautiful, but it’s not your turn, is it? You’re a tree!’

At that moment, a man in a Daoist robe jumped down from the tree. He held a fly-whisk and exuded the majestic aura of a Divine Beast.

"Zhang Qinglong pays his respects to Master."

Tu Xiao’an froze, a strange expression on his face. ’What the hell is with the name Zhang Qinglong?’

This Hu Snake had transformed into a Cyan Dragon and should have reached the Demon King Level. Unfortunately, in order to buy him time, it had forcibly broken out of its egg, which had affected its strength.

Tu Xiao’an smiled and greeted Zhang... uh... Zhang Qinglong.

SWOOSH...

From the top of the tree, an enchanting figure flashed and descended. The Super Celestial Peacock, exuding grace with every glance, stood elegantly before Tu Xiao’an. The King of Hundred Birds was breathtakingly beautiful.

"My Azure Owl Treasure, your Master has missed you to death!"

Tu Xiao’an’s words were a bit slurred as he went in for a bear hug, reeking of alcohol. ’By the way, Azure Owl is Level 29 now and about to achieve enlightenment. That face of hers... hehe...!’

"You villain! G’way!"

Azure Owl easily dodged him. She didn’t want her nine-colored feathers to get stained with the smell of alcohol.

Although the alcohol smelled quite fragrant, she wasn’t about to let him take advantage of her.

Tu Xiao’an said faintly, "Alas, my Azure Owl is about to become a young lady. I can’t just hug her whenever I want anymore."
