Chapter 721: Chapter 658: I’ll Take Care of All of You

Forget the Light Snake Race. Even if the Snake Race and the Fox Race joined forces, it would be a futile effort. They would be powerless to resist.

The Fox Immortal King knew this well, so even if he wanted to help, he couldn’t lead the Fox Race to their deaths.

Currently, the other great leaders of the Yaoling Mountain Range who had remained uninvolved were also watching this completely one-sided race war.

If the Snake Race was annihilated, the Yaoling Mountain Range would effectively fall under the rule of the Yellow Demon King and the Gray Demon King. It would become their domain.

This was a scenario that many of the other race leaders did not want to see.

If the Snake Race could hold their own against the allied army, perhaps they would even come out and support them.

But alas, that was impossible.

The Yaoling Mountain Range, home of the Leopard Race.

A burly Leopard Demon knelt on the ground, his voice heavy. "Big Brother, I beg you, please help the Snake Race! The Snake King saved my life. If he hadn’t opened the Demon Prison, your brother would have withered away and died in that human-run prison."

Before the Leopard King floated a Crystal Ball, live-streaming the scene at She Mountain. He shook his head. "Second Brother, are you confused? When the Yellow Demon King and Gray Demon King came to invite me, asking our Leopard Race to join their grand army, I almost agreed. It was the way the winds were blowing. The only reason I refused was because of the debt we owe the Snake King for saving you."

"That refusal has likely already displeased the two Deep Mountain Demon Kings and put our Leopard Race in a precarious position. And now you want to drag the entire race to its doom?"

The Leopard Demon refused to give up. "But Big Brother, the Snake King saved me! If it weren’t for him, we brothers would never have seen each other again in this lifetime."

"Hmph. By not joining their army, I have already repaid the Snake King’s kindness to you. Say no more. You are dismissed."

"Big Brother..."

"Leave! The Leopard Race will not risk annihilation for the sake of one person!"

Many of the Great Demons who had received the Snake King’s favor in the past pleaded with their own kings to help the Snake Race, but they were all refused.

As Kings of their Races, they had to prioritize the bigger picture. These were dangerous waters, far too deep. To step in meant to drown.

.......

Before the Snake Palace, the grand army of races pressed forward. The leaders of the Twelve Great Races were eyeing the Snake Demon King, Tu Xiao’an, like a pack of tigers. The Saint Peng King stepped forward. "Snake Demon King, since you’re so powerful, do you dare to fight all twelve of us Kings of the Races alone?"

Tu Xiao’an looked at the Saint Peng King and sneered. "Back then, you helped the White Demon King fight me. I killed the White Demon King but spared you. You should have cherished your life. I didn’t expect you’d still dare to oppose me."

The Saint Peng King, who had a human body and a bird’s head, retorted, "In the Yaoling Mountain Range, it’s survival of the fittest! You didn’t kill me then, so now it’s my turn to kill you!"

"You, kill me? I think it’s about time the Hundred Birds Lineage got a new king."

"You..." The Saint Peng King was so enraged he could have spat blood. Such arrogance! Those were the very same words he himself had once said.

"Snake Demon King! You killed my little brother! Today, I, the Hundred Eyed Demon King, will have my revenge!"

Tu Xiao’an glanced over. ’Ding... King of the Centipede Race, Hundred Eyed Demon King, Level 36.’

His transformed appearance was terrifying. His body seemed to be covered in countless eyes that blinked and flickered, making him impossible to look at directly.

’Oh...’ Tu Xiao’an recalled. On Monkey Mountain, he had indeed killed a Centipede Great Demon and taken its Lifebound Golden Core.

That Centipede Great Demon had wanted to beg for mercy and surrender, but Tu Xiao’an found it too ugly and had simply crushed it underfoot.

"Is everyone in your Centipede Race this ugly? Your little brother was crushed under my foot. Do you want to suffer the same fate?" Tu Xiao’an said coldly, looking at the Hundred Eyed Demon King.

Killing intent erupted from the Hundred Eyed Demon King. "Snake Demon King! I will definitely avenge my brother today!"

"Fine. This King will give you the chance. Come, fight me one-on-one."

The Hundred Eyed Demon King froze, speechless. ’A one-on-one fight? Forget it.’ This snake had killed the White Demon King, a Deep Mountain Demon King. Who would dare fight him one-on-one? That was suicide.

"Hehe..." A woman with a stunningly beautiful yet commanding presence stepped forward, saving the Hundred Eyed Demon King. "A one-on-one fight is no problem. That is, the twelve of us against you, one-on-one. You don’t have a problem with that, do you?"

Tu Xiao’an glanced at her, surprised. ’This woman is Level 37?’

She was the Forgotten Spider Lady Monarch of the Spider Lineage. In the Yaoling Mountain Range, her fame was second only to the Fox Immortal King. Her Cultivation was infinitely close to that of a Deep Mountain Demon King, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Forgotten Spider Lady Monarch, is it? This King has no quarrel with you. Why have you come to invade my She Mountain?" Tu Xiao’an questioned.

The Forgotten Spider Lady Monarch gave a bewitching smile. "Because it’s fun! To personally annihilate the Snake Race, once the number one race in the Yaoling Mountain Range... isn’t that just fascinating?"

"Oh... I hope you still find it fascinating when you’re about to die," Tu Xiao’an said, his pupils constricting.

"Haha... Snake Demon King, you don’t dare fight the twelve of us. But do you dare fight me, Old Pig, one-on-one?"

’Hm?’

It was the Crimson Eyed Pig Demon of the Hunter Pig Lineage, his Cultivation also infinitely close to that of a Deep Mountain Demon King.

Elder Snake had already informed Tu Xiao’an of the leaders of the twelve races.

"You are not worthy," Tu Xiao’an said, shaking his head.

Another figure stepped forward and demanded, "Then what about me?"

The one who stepped out was a skinny, pale-faced man in a red robe. A cruel smile played on his lips, and his eyes glinted with a bloodthirsty light.

The Bat King of the Vampire Bat Lineage.

It was said that among the leaders of the Twelve Great Races, he was the most difficult to deal with.

"What, you think I’m not worthy either? You don’t dare fight the twelve of us, and you don’t dare fight one-on-one. Some Snake King you are. You’re nothing special."

’Damn it!’

Tu Xiao’an laughed. "The Bat King, is it? You look quite appetizing. Snakes eat bats, yet you dare serve yourself up on a platter. You’re courting death."

"Cyan Dragon, where are you!"

ROAR!

Above the Snake Palace, the impossibly majestic Cyan Dragon materialized, dominating the sky as it roared at the heavens.

"Cyan Dragon, bring me the Lifebound Golden Core of this dead bat!"

The Bat King’s expression changed drastically. Everyone said the Snake King had a Cyan Dragon as a mount, and it turned out to be true.

The legendary Divine Beast, the Cyan Dragon... its awe-inspiring power was enough to strike fear into anyone’s heart.

"Haha... I, the Bat King, have drunk all kinds of blood, but never Dragon Blood!" The Bat King smiled cruelly. "But a Cyan Dragon that has just reached the Demon King realm is nothing special. Even an ant, if strong enough, can devour an elephant!"

WHOOSH... In one corner of the sky, the Cyan Dragon engaged the Bat King in battle.

"Old Pig wants to fight the Cyan Dragon too! Damn you, Snake Demon King, what do you mean by this? Are you looking down on me, Old Pig?" the Crimson Eyed Pig Demon roared in displeasure. Even in his transformed state, he had only a single eye, which glowed with a ferocious, blood-red light.

Tu Xiao’an mused to himself, ’I’ll deal with these twelve race leaders first. That way, I can focus all my attention on the Yellow Demon King and Gray Demon King later.’

’It’ll stop this trash from constantly challenging me.’

"Your pig hide is itching for a fight, is it? Fine, this King will oblige you." With a thought from Tu Xiao’an, a giant egg hurtled violently toward the Crimson Eyed Pig Demon.

’Bull Demon King, are you reluctant to hatch?’ Tu Xiao’an transmitted his thoughts.

A vicious glint flashed in the Crimson Eyed Pig Demon’s eye as he bellowed, "Holy crap, that’s a big egg! Watch Old Pig shatter it with one punch!"

His voice boomed like a thunderclap, shaking the heavens and the earth.

As the giant egg approached, a massive fist, charged with explosive power, shot out to meet it.

Just as the egg was about to be shattered, a crack appeared on its surface. A fist bizarrely emerged from within the egg and flew out to meet the attack.

BOOM!

In an instant, the ground shook and the mountains trembled. A terrifying shockwave swept outward. The Crimson Eyed Pig Demon’s face changed dramatically as he was forced back seven or eight steps, staring in horror at the large fist outside the egg.

’What the hell is this?!’

Suddenly, a serene yet powerful aura began to boil within the giant egg, followed by a terrifying pressure that spread outwards.

"The aura of a Demon King?"

The Crimson Eyed Pig Demon was astonished. ’What kind of powerful Demon King hides inside a giant egg?’

"Haha! I, the Bull Demon King, have arrived!"

Hearing this voice, the other race leaders’ expressions turned strange.

BOOM!

The giant egg, not shattered by the Crimson Eyed Pig Demon’s punch, instead exploded on its own.

Immediately after, a tall and mighty figure radiating the boiling aura of a Demon King materialized. Its mouth was like a basin of blood and its teeth like rows of copper coins. Its roar shook the entirety of She Mountain.

Tu Xiao’an smiled. ’That Colorful Bull spent a few months in that giant egg, but he’s finally hatched.’

"Ding... Bull Demon King, Super Evolution Divine Beast, Level 37, possesses Flame Power."

A Divine Beast evolution. Just as with the Cyan Dragon, Tu Xiao’an had granted it an Elemental Ability.

’Level 37. Truly worthy of the Primordial Bull Demon King bloodline. It not only allowed the Bull Demon King to leap into the Demon King realm but also brought him infinitely close to becoming a Deep Mountain Demon King.’

Tu Xiao’an was very pleased.

"Haha... Master, Old Bull is about to defy the heavens!"

The Bull Demon King fully manifested, his body wreathed in raging flames, a stunning sight for all to behold.

"Old Bull, bring me that Pig Demon’s Lifebound Golden Core," Tu Xiao’an said lightly.

Hearing this, the Bull Demon King turned his huge, flame-filled eyes toward the Crimson Eyed Pig Demon and roared, "You pathetic little Pig Demon, you dare offend my master? Hand over your Lifebound Golden Core!"

At these words, countless demons were left speechless. ’Everyone else demands your life, but these guys get straight to the point and demand your Lifebound Golden Core.’

’Do they have to be so brutally honest?’

Although the Bull Demon King’s birth had shaken him, the Crimson Eyed Pig Demon was still a being second only to the Deep Mountain Demon Kings. He sneered, "We’ll see who’s taking whose Lifebound Golden Core!"

BANG BANG BANG... The battle between pig and bull began, shaking the heavens and the earth. But the two of them were self-aware enough to automatically move their fight off to the side.

They didn’t hog the main battlefield.

Cyan Dragon versus the Bat King; Bull Demon King versus the Crimson Eyed Pig Demon.

The remaining ten leaders of the Twelve Great Races exchanged glances. Then, the Hundred Eyed Demon King spoke: "Snake Demon King, it’s ten against one now. Do you dare?"

"I have another egg here. Who wants to take it?" Tu Xiao’an floated before the Snake Palace. With a thought, another giant egg truly did appear beside him.

This...!

The ten race leaders looked at each other in dismay. ’One egg just produced a Bull Demon King who’s nearly a Deep Mountain Demon King. So this giant egg...?’

For a moment, no one stepped forward.

Tu Xiao’an wasn’t familiar with the others, so he looked at the Saint Peng King. "Bird man, do you dare take this giant egg of mine?"

"Hmph... I’ll take it. This King’s Cultivation has greatly increased!"

After his last battle, the Saint Peng King’s Cultivation had indeed risen to Level 37.

"Then catch it properly. Try not to get smashed to death."

Tu Xiao’an gave him a cold, indifferent glance, and the giant egg floating beside him shot toward the Saint Peng King.

While the giant egg was still in mid-air, a supremely domineering tiger’s roar erupted from it.

ROOOAR!

In an instant, the roar shook the entire area, terrifying countless demons into submission.
