Chapter 725: Chapter 660: Northern Divine Black Tortoise (Part 2)

The Forgotten Spider Lady Monarch was absolutely livid!

Atop the Snake Palace Castle, Tu Xiao’an’s eyes shone like stars as he gazed intently at the behemoth lying on the ground below.

"Ding! Ultra-evolved Divine Beast of the Dragon Snake and Profound Turtle: Northern Divine Black Tortoise. Level 36. Possesses a Water Element Ability."

"Haha! Black Tortoise, go and crush that venomous spider for me!" Tu Xiao’an roared with laughter, issuing his command directly to the behemoth.

The behemoth’s pitch-black turtle head and purple snake head intertwined as they turned to look at the distant Tu Xiao’an. They spoke with two completely different voices, "Yes, Master."

With that, the two heads locked their vicious gazes onto the Forgotten Spider Lady Monarch, a look so intense it made her scalp prickle with fear.

"Some Black Tortoise you are! You’re clearly just a monster!"

The Forgotten Spider Lady Monarch let out a sharp cry and shot high into the air. Numerous spider legs sprouted from her back as she assumed her combat form, becoming Spiritual and Fierce.

’Whoa, what a huge spider.’

"Celestial Net!" After revealing her combat form, the Forgotten Spider Lady Monarch’s Demon Power surged. A massive net materialized and descended upon the behemoth below.

With a snort, the snake head opened its mouth. A pillar of water shot upward, instantly blasting the massive Celestial Net apart.

The turtle head then opened its mouth, and another pillar of water soared into the sky, transforming into a Water Dragon that lunged toward the giant spider.

BOOM... RUMBLE...!

The great battle between the Forgotten Spider Lady Monarch and the Northern Divine Black Tortoise had begun.

Meanwhile, earth-shattering sounds echoed from several other locations on She Mountain, indicating that the other battles were raging with equal intensity.

Of the twelve powerful race leaders, only eight now remained. They looked at each other, then back at the Snake King, Tu Xiao’an, as if waiting for something.

’The Cyan Dragon, the White Tiger, and the Black Tortoise had all appeared. Is another giant egg going to show up now and summon the Vermilion Bird?’

’Bring it on.’ They were all mentally prepared for it.

Tu Xiao’an simply regarded them with a cold, placid expression. "I’ll give you one last chance. It’s not too late to withdraw. Otherwise, all of you will die."

"Cultivation is not easy. You should all cherish what you’ve achieved."

The Giant Bear King of the Violent Bear Lineage stepped forward. "Snake Demon King, so what if you have Divine Beasts? We’ve cultivated to the Demon King Level. What’s the difference between us and them? You can’t scare us! If you’ve got the guts, summon the Vermilion Bird! I’ll take it on!"

Not to be outdone, the Unicorn Demon King of the Rhino Lineage declared, "To fight the legendary Vermilion Bird would make my life worthwhile! Make your move. I’ll be the one to face it!"

"Let me..."

"Let me..."

Strangely, the eight remaining race leaders began scrambling over one another, fighting for the spot.

Cyan Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird... a battle against any one of them would earn them fame throughout the Yaoling Mountain Range and become a legendary tale.

This was a golden opportunity to become famous overnight.

’A bunch of fools courting death.’ Tu Xiao’an lifted his chin slightly, an unbreakable frost seeming to gather on his brow. He said coolly, "Since you’re all so eager to die, I’ll grant you your wish."

WHOOSH...!

Another giant egg appeared beside Tu Xiao’an.

"..." The race leaders were speechless.

He really did have another giant egg. ’We were right,’ they thought. ’The Vermilion Bird is about to emerge.’

But having prepared themselves mentally, they felt no fear. In fact, they were all eager to make a move, filled with a heroic desire to display their power.

At that moment, the Yellow Demon King and the Gray Demon King stood together, conversing in low voices.

"Cousin, it’s a good thing we allied with these other factions. We knew this Snake Demon King had plenty of Battle Companions. Now we can just sit back and reap the rewards. Let’s let them wear each other down first."

The Yellow Demon King sneered. "So what if all Four Great Divine Beasts appear? When Yama wants you dead at midnight, you won’t live to see the dawn. This Snake Demon King has run out of tricks."

"Cousin, it’s best if these faction leaders and the Snake Demon King maim each other in the fight. If they all die, even better. Then we can make our move, wipe out the Snake Race, and the entire Yaoling Mountain Range will belong to the two of us, with no one left to threaten us."

"Haha... What a great show this is."

The Yellow Demon King and the Gray Demon King had their own schemes worked out, which was why they hadn’t been in a hurry to act.

The weather was nice, their mood was good, they were watching a great show, and they’d get to wipe out the Snake Race in the process. Once the major racial factions were weakened, how could anyone possibly stand up to two Deep Mountain Demon Kings?

"Snake Demon King, that egg is mine! I’ll take this one!" the Giant Bear King of the Violent Bear Lineage roared, afraid someone would snatch the opportunity from him.

"Giant Bear King, don’t fight me for it! You can have the next one!" the Unicorn Demon King of the Rhino Lineage protested, demanding the spot for himself.

’The next one... This Snake Demon King has one giant egg after another. There’s bound to be more.’

"Everyone, form a line! One at a time!"

Tu Xiao’an was completely dumbfounded. ’What are they doing? This is my last egg! I’m really out! There is no next round!’

"There’s no need to fight over it. The eight of you can take this one on together." Suddenly, Tu Xiao’an gave a faint smile, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

This giant egg didn’t contain the Vermilion Bird, but its contents were far more significant.

"Snake Demon King, what do you mean by that? You want all eight of us to face a single egg? Aren’t you being a bit too arrogant?"

Before, it had always been one-on-one.

"I’m doing this for your own good," Tu Xiao’an said with a completely serious expression.

"It’s just the Vermilion Bird. Who do you think you’re scaring?"

Tu Xiao’an’s eyes narrowed as he swept a cold gaze over them. "Did I ever say this egg contained the Vermilion Bird?"

"..." The eight faction leaders were all taken aback.

’Did we guess wrong?’

"It doesn’t matter what it is! I, the Unicorn Demon King, am fearless!"

"Pintou Brother isn’t a pushover, either!" the Flat-headed Demon King of the Bee Badger Lineage declared, slapping his own forehead.

’What a bunch of idiots. How did they ever manage to reach the Demon King Level?’

Tu Xiao’an shook his head. With a mere thought, he hurled the giant egg into their midst.

BOOM...!

The giant egg landed in their midst and lay there, motionless.

"Whatever’s inside, get out here and face your death!"

Seeing how eager everyone was, the Hundred Eyed Demon King of the Centipede Race knew he couldn’t fall behind. He was here to avenge his younger brother, and the hundred eyes on his body flickered incessantly.

The Poison Flower Demon Monarch of the Human-devouring Flower Lineage chuckled smugly. "It seems the creature inside is too scared of us to hatch. In that case, I won’t be polite." 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Suddenly, the Poison Flower Demon Monarch walked up to the giant egg, transformed into an enormous Cannibal Flower, and swallowed the egg whole in one terrifying gulp.

"Demon Monarch, what are you doing?! Hogging it all for yourself!"

The other leaders roared in protest. That was a low blow.

Not even giving the creature a chance to hatch?

The giant Cannibal Flower let out a triumphant laugh. "Everyone, my apologies. The egg is already in my stomach, and I’m currently digesting it."

As it spoke, the Cannibal Flower turned to Tu Xiao’an. "Snake Demon King, how many more eggs have you got? Go ahead and toss them out. My appetite is quite large."

"You really are an idiot. You can just wait for death now," Tu Xiao’an said, looking at the giant Cannibal Flower as if it were already a corpse.

"Haha, did you all see that? He’s furious from the humiliation!" The Poison Flower Demon Monarch laughed triumphantly, swaying his vine-like branches.

The Flat-headed Demon King of the Bee Badger Lineage said, "A Demon Monarch is a Demon Monarch, after all. That was really something. Pintou Brother here doesn’t bow to anyone, but I’ve gotta hand it to you."

"So, how did the egg taste?"

The giant Cannibal Flower shifted, transforming back into the Poison Flower Demon Monarch. He rubbed his stomach and mused, "What’s an egg supposed to taste like? However, I can feel a scalding Energy boiling inside me now. The egg must have broken open."

Whatever was in that egg, the Poison Flower Demon Monarch guessed that even if it wasn’t the Vermilion Bird, it was no ordinary creature. It had to be at the Divine Beast Level. Now that he had swallowed it, killing it before it could even hatch, his Cultivation would surely soar once he finished digesting it.

’This egg is practically a Ten Complete Great Replenishing Pill! Snake Demon King, you never would have imagined I’d pull a stunt like this, would you?’

BOOM...!

Just as the Poison Flower Demon Monarch was gloating, his expression suddenly changed. His entire body abruptly exploded, unleashing a massive, earth-shattering shockwave.

The nearby faction leaders couldn’t react in time and were sent flying by the shockwave, leaving them in a sorry state.

"What happened...?"

When they came to their senses and looked over, all they saw was a brightly glittering Lifebound Golden Core hovering in the air. The Poison Flower Demon Monarch was nowhere to be seen.

The Poison Flower Demon Monarch was dead?
