"Damn snake! What kind of skill is a sneak attack? Get the hell out here!"
The Saint Peng King’s furious roar came from within the massive black sphere. It was pitch-black inside, and a fist suddenly smashed into his face out of nowhere.
"Hehe, this Snake King will give you a warm welcome. Behold my Myriad Snake Devouring!"
The Saint Peng King’s heart jolted. In the pitch-black space, he suddenly heard countless hissing sounds. From all directions within the darkness, an immense number of black vipers emerged. Each viper was over ten feet long. They shrieked grotesquely, their bodies jet-black and their eyes glowing with an eerie light as they swarmed toward him.
The scene was indescribably terrifying.
The Saint Peng King stumbled back in alarm. There were far too many black vipers—hundreds of thousands of them, at least. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but ugly, horrifying black snakes.
"Hmph... A petty parlor trick. You think this can harm me?"
The Saint Peng King trembled, and feathers suddenly shot out from under his six wings. When a feather struck a black viper, the snake instantly disintegrated into a black mist.
SWISH SWISH SWISH... Countless feathers shot out, and a large number of the black vipers disintegrated before they could even get close to the Saint Peng King.
However, the clouds of black mist from the disintegrated snakes all gathered together, forming a colossal black python hundreds of feet long. It roared at the sky and lunged at the Saint Peng King, its gaping maw wide open.
AHH—
Another miserable scream from the Saint Peng King echoed from within the giant black sphere.
Below, the crowd of Demons could only listen to the sounds, as anxious as ants on a hot pan. They desperately wanted to know what was happening inside that could make the Saint Peng King, in his Golden-winged Roc form, scream so miserably. That was no easy feat.
"It seems the Saint Peng King knows too little about the Dark Attribute ability. He can only suffer inside there." The White Demon King stared at the black sphere, listening to the screams from within. His brow was furrowed with a deep, unthawable Frost. He pointed from afar once more, and a terrifying white beam shot toward the black sphere.
He intended to shatter the black sphere.
Space trembled. The white beam tore through the air, shaking heaven and earth. But in the next second, the beam simply plunged into the black sphere and vanished without a trace.
This...!
When the Demons below saw this, their scalps tingled with shock. Even the White Demon King’s terrifying attack couldn’t break through that snake’s Dark Power?
"You damn hedgehog! Fuck you! Another sneak attack!"
Tu Xiao’an’s furious curses echoed from the black sphere, showing the great Deep Mountain Demon King absolutely no respect.
Hearing this, the White Demon King nearly coughed up a mouthful of old blood. Being called a "damn hedgehog" again and again was utterly destroying his prestige, especially with the kings of countless races watching the show below.
"Damn hedgehog, stop skulking around out there! If you’ve got the guts, come in here and die! See if I don’t torture you to death!"
Tu Xiao’an’s defiant shouts came from the black sphere once again.
"Are you looking to die?" The White Demon King’s gaze turned cold, erupting with terrifying killing intent. "Fine. I can come in, but you will release the Saint Peng King."
"Release him? Why would I? This Snake King already said it makes no difference if I fight one or two. It’s just a bird and a damn hedgehog. Nothing special."
The White Demon King was so furious his Demon Power surged. He stretched out his hand, and five heaven-shaking white beams shot toward the massive black sphere.
Yet, it was all in vain. The giant black sphere was like an illusion. The five white beams sank into it, and immediately, the Saint Peng King’s voice rang out, even more wretched than before.
"Brother Bai, stop messing around! Your attacks are all hitting me!"
The Saint Peng King had been in the pitch-black space when it suddenly filled with vast white light. Before he realized what was happening, all five beams had slammed into his body.
In an instant, the Saint Peng King was covered in wounds. He had barely been hit by the damn snake, but he had taken quite a few of the White Demon King’s attacks. The pain was heart-wrenching.
"Keep it up, you damn hedgehog! A few more of those finger beams and the bird brain inside will be ready to kick the bucket!"
Tu Xiao’an’s mocking voice, full of schadenfreude, came from within the black sphere.
"How outrageous!" The White Demon King was so angry that smoke was practically fuming from his ears. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, his figure flashed and charged directly into the black sphere.
WHOOSH...!
’Is this really turning into a two-on-one?’
The Demons below had strange expressions, looking completely unable to grasp what was happening.
A Deep Mountain Demon King and another Demon King, joining forces to fight the new Snake King of the Snake Race. This snake had truly reached the peak of his life. Even if he lost, his defeat would be a glorious one.
’Freak! A single snake controls five Elemental Attribute Abilities. How is anyone supposed to compete? Especially that Dark Elemental Power, which has left even a Demon King helpless.’
’To have such an ability is to be invincible.’
’Did this snake save the Milky Way Galaxy in his past life? Why is he so lucky?’
At this moment, high in the sky, only the massive black sphere remained, standing firm. Not a single figure could be seen; they were all fumbling around blindly inside it.
The Demons’ eyes were completely useless. They could only perk up their pointed ears and listen.
It was basically like listening to an audiobook.
"Brother Bai, your attacks hit me again! Did you come in here to kill the snake or to kill me?" The Saint Peng King’s irrepressible rage filled his voice, which sounded as miserable as could be.
The White Demon King: "I can’t find that damned snake! Get out here!"
As the White Demon King charged in, the black sphere began to expand and contract erratically. Energy surged within it, powerful enough to startle the heavens and move ghosts and gods. In the area surrounding the sphere, space vibrated violently, twisting with terrifying phenomena.
A long, long time passed.
"Brother Bai, seriously, you should just get out. I’m about to be beaten to death by you!" The Saint Peng King was on the verge of tears. In the pitch-black space, all he faced were the White Demon King’s terrifying attacks.
The White Demon King was especially furious right now, and his attacks were powerful enough to shatter mountains and split the earth. Every blow was lethal.
It was only because he was so durable. Anyone else would have died several times over by now.
"Damn snake, get out here! What kind of skill is hiding? I’m already in here, yet you don’t dare show your face!"
The White Demon King’s eyes bulged, his eyebrows stood on end, and veins popped out on his face as he continuously fired white beams into the dark space.
"I’m not coming out. What are you gonna do, bite me?"
Tu Xiao’an was no fool. He currently held every advantage of time and place. A Deep Mountain Demon King and a Demon King they might be, but inside his dark space, they were as good as blind.
All their terrifying power had nowhere to be used.
’Fun. This Dark Attribute is so much fun.’
.......
Inside the Demon King’s Castle, the three Deep Mountain Demon Kings who were observing the battle all wore expressions of strange surprise. The Gray Demon King, in particular, looked extremely displeased.
He had experienced Tu Xiao’an’s Dark Power firsthand. With the two words, "Night falls," he had been rendered blind and beaten at will.
Whoever controlled this kind of Elemental Ability could seize the initiative in battle. If you couldn’t break it, you were doomed to be on the receiving end of a beating.
"Cousin, can you break this kind of Dark Ability?"
The Yellow Demon King watched with a faint, contemptuous smile. "The Elemental Ability is freakishly strong, yes, but all things in creation generate and overcome one another. Naturally, it can be broken."
"I tried before. Using powerful Demon Power to break it was highly ineffective—next to useless, even," the Gray Demon King said.
The Yellow Demon King said, "Demon Power is futile. You must use Soul Power to break it."
Upon hearing this, the Gray Demon King had a moment of sudden enlightenment, his face lighting up with joy. ’That’s right! Soul Power! In other words, soul consciousness power!’
’By materializing one’s soul consciousness power, the Dark Ability can be broken.’
