Chapter 923: The Origin of the Serpent King

The sky seemed to boil, and beastly roars emerged from the passage torn open by the Sky-Sundering Wings.

Lu Yu and Feng Xiaobao temporarily stopped.

Because this might be an opportunity.

The Sky-Sundering King has turned ruthless; perhaps this could draw the attention of many serpent people.

In this way, the two of them would have the opportunity to sneak in.

The Sky-Splitting Wings trembled rapidly in the air, so fast that even the wings themselves blurred into a phantom-like image, unleashing a vibration frequency akin to a storm.

Powerful wind pressure erupted from the ten-thousand-zhang-long裂天翼, instantly creating a whirlwind storm in the midair.

This is the true power of the Sky-Splitting Wing.

Even when flying through the sky, the Rift Heaven Wings will leave a trail of raging storms in their wake.

Its twin wings are the King of Storms, capable of summoning all storms.

The whirlwind raged incessantly, triggering a powerful storm. In all directions, dozens of tornadoes formed, each one sweeping entire bone mountains into the raging tempest.

The Heaven-Sundering King stood midair, clenching his fist with a single hand.

Dozens of tornadoes were converging toward the center of the battlefield.

“Open!”

More than a hundred snake men roared.

Hundreds of radiant beams emanated from their bodies, each representing a powerful skill.

He has King-level skills, as well as Supreme-level ones…

These beams of light transformed into a sea of light, completely engulfing the tornado.

One after another, the tornadoes were shattered and dispersed.

Boom!

The vertical eye of the Sky-splitting King emitted a powerful beam of light.

The Eye of Shattering Heaven: This ultimate skill is obtained after King Luyu consumes the Shattering Heaven Beast. It is a power that only a king can unleash. The Eye of Shattering Heaven can penetrate any defense outside of a domain, capable of resisting star artifacts and even destroying forces of royal rank. Once struck by the Eye of Shattering Heaven, regeneration abilities become ineffective. If the target cannot defeat the caster, the wounds inflicted by the Eye of Shattering Heaven will never heal.

The strongest King skill of Sky-Sundering King划s a beam of light through the void, descending onto the earth.

Then the Sky-Sundering King slightly tilted his head.

A beam of light swept across the land, shattering the armor of snake-bodied creatures in its path. Dozens of these serpentine beings were struck by the pillar of light, their limbs severed as if sliced by a sharp blade, their flesh and blood scattering, and bones splintering in all directions.

“Oh!”

The snake people let out eerie cries, each one trembling all over and rapidly retreating.

Some had broken arms, others had a gash in their abdomen, and some even had their hearts pierced through.

No matter which part it was, there was absolutely no sign of healing.

The snake-man whose heart had been pierced bled profusely and began to lose his vitality.

The Sky-Splitting King is really showing his ferocity now; with a single move, he has torn open a gap in the thousand-strong encirclement of the snake people.

Feng Xiaobao felt somewhat anxious, worried that Lie Tianwang and the others might charge over, making the defense here even stronger.

He quietly raised his hand to signal Lu Yu, asking if it was time to take action.

Lu Yu shook his head to signal Feng Xiaobao to wait a moment longer.

This is just the beginning; the real showdown has yet to start!

A snake person shouted loudly, “You’re just a human, what are you being arrogant about?”

“Right, kill him!”

Dozens of serpent men glared furiously at Sky-splitting King and surged towards the heavens.

Boom… Boom…

The skill of the King of Vast formed dozens of light dragons that sent the Sky-Sundering King flying.

A snake person sneered, “Even in this state, you still dare to come here and act so arrogantly.”

Another snake man said coldly, “Capture him and use his blood for the ritual sacrifice.”

The Sky-Sundering King crashed into a mountain of bones, grinning as he wiped blood from the corner of his mouth. “You think it’s over?” he sneered. “This is just the beginning! I’ve finally retrieved what I had hidden back in the capital years ago. Originally, it was meant for a human to use. But now, you lot can be the first to taste its power!”

A snake-tailed warrior swung his tail and sprang into the air. The weapon in his hand whistled through the wind as he slashed downward toward Wang Lian, shouting, “So what if you’re a king? This place has always belonged to us, this world is ours! You’re just here to die!”

“Roar!”

In the void, beastly roars surged mightily, not just a single sound, but countless beastly howls merging into a tsunami of noise.

A herd of beasts was galloping through the passage torn open by the Sky-Sundering King in midair.

Then an extremely fast beast shadow darted out, crashing like a beam of light into the leaping snake person.

It was a black wolf, yet its body was covered in lightning bolts.

The black wolf pounced on the snake-man, knocking him to the ground, and opened its mouth to bite.

This is a king-level black wolf, whose strength has long surpassed that of ordinary kings; its star soul has already begun merging with its star soul.

His strength surpassed that of the snake man.

With one bite, the black wolf tore away most of the snake-man’s chest.

At the same time, an endless swarm of beasts surged through the passage. In an instant, tens of thousands of animals landed and lunged toward the serpent people.

This time, even Lu Yu couldn’t help but feel a slight tremor in his mind.

This is because all of these tens of thousands of beasts are of the Wang Zun rank.

One was slightly inferior, while tens of thousands were Kings. That made all the difference.

“A bunch of trash, all of you! Scram!” The snake people sneered coldly, and several of them struck with such force that they crushed hundreds of thousands of beasts in an instant.

As the bodies of the beasts turned into blood and flesh, they immediately transformed into black smoke and surged toward the passage torn open by the Sky-splitting King.

Among the countless waves of beasts, there were occasionally even royal-grade creatures mixed in.

The dead beast immediately transformed into black mist and returned to the passage.

A continuous surge of beasts burst forth from the pass.

In just a few breaths, the thousand snake men were moved, and they felt the pressure.

The Sky-Sundering King snarled, “Everyone, we didn’t come here to wait for death! Do you really want to keep wasting time with these good-for-nothings?”

“That’s right, we came here for what’s here. Not a single snake person shall be left alive; kill them all!”

On the crown of the Ten Thousand Snake King, each snake-like hair stood upright, emitting thin red beams of light.

“Void Serpent Nest!” roared the Ten Thousand Serpent King with icy coldness.

Boom!

The space around the Wan She King distorted, and hundreds of giant serpents, each hundreds of zhang long, extended their heads from the void. Taking advantage of the moment when thousands of snake people were attacking the beasts, they opened their enormous mouths and swallowed the snake people one by one.

Lu Yu had fought against the Wan She King before. Even then, the impact of the giant serpent colliding with him had already been immensely powerful, reaching a force of one hundred thousand.

And now, the King of Ten Thousand Snakes has returned to his royal majesty, and the giant serpent’s power is also equivalent to that of a king.

Each of the hundreds of giant pythons is of king-level strength.

More than a thousand snake people were reduced by a third, and the gap in the encirclement became larger.

When Star Soul King saw Rift Heaven King and Thousand Serpent King both launching their attacks, he disregarded everything else, slashed his own wrist, and sprinkled a shower of blood droplets while shouting loudly, “Star Soul Transformation – King!”

Each drop that fell turned the ground within a radius of several zhang into a blood-red color.

Within the crimson haze, liquid coalesced and gradually took on a human form.

Every humanoid figure exuded a powerful royal aura.

But their astral souls are different.

Boom!

These blood-covered humans clashed with the remaining snake-men, resulting in a gruesome scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere.

The remaining hundreds of snake men could no longer contain Lie Tianwang and the others within their encirclement.

“Break through!” A divine servant radiated golden light, his divine power surging into the sky, reaching its peak.

Blood dripping from one of his wounds was also golden.

“Coming here isn’t for fighting trash like you; our target is those things.” A dungeon master’s eyes turned blood-red, and his teeth became sharp.

Heaven-splitting King and others exerted their strongest abilities, instantly counter-suppressing thousands of snake people.

More than a thousand snake-people were killed or wounded, with over half of them perishing.

The king who can reach here is no ordinary king; each one possesses the power to suppress an entire region.

Now that they have joined forces, their strength has become even more formidable.

Boom!

The Heaven-Sundering King and others stepped out of the encirclement and charged toward the serpent swarm beneath the statue.

“Do you call us trash?” A snake demon standing on one of Hydra’s snake heads spoke.

His voice reverberated through the void, creating ripples that spread across the emptiness in waves.

Lu Yu was secretly astonished in his heart, thinking, “This is the Void Star Soul!”

One of the Nine Mutated Star Souls, the Void Star Soul.

How could this legacy be passed down to a serpent demon?

Moreover, Feng Xiaobao also has a Void Star Soul. How is that possible?

As Lu Yu was stunned, the snake demon’s tail had already sprung up. In midair, it struck its palm toward裂天王 and the others.

This is the level of power of the Golden Armor figure.

Could it be that all the hydra demons here possess the combat strength of a Shenzhong Star General?

This time, if we take action, it’s going to be a big trouble.

Boom! Boom!

The void transformed into a tsunami, with the mighty aura of the Void Star Soul propelling the void as if it were an endless ocean, unleashing a colossal tidal wave.

The passage opened by the Sky-splitting King was shattered, and the Void Serpent Nest of the Ten Thousand Snake King was also blocked.

This serpent demon possessed terrifying and boundless power, and with a single palm strike, sent all of them, including Crack Heaven King, flying backward in defeat.

Everyone spat out large mouthfuls of blood, staring in terror as the snake demon landed. The pressure emanating from this single individual surpassed that of all of them combined by a factor of dozens.

If it weren’t for the Void Cloak enveloping him, Lu Yu would have been swept away by the刚才虚空风暴 as well.

However, it might have been due to the two forces being relatively equal; the Void Tsunami did not destroy the cloak but merely swept past it from the side.

The Snake Demon glared coldly at Wan She Wang. “You, an abomination among the Snake Clan, are nothing but the lowest of our kind. We allowed you to live merely because you still had some use to us. Never did I expect that you would dare bring humans into our sacred land. You seek death.”

Lu Yu and the others, including the Rupture Heaven King, looked at the Ten Thousand Snake King in astonishment.

Was he actually a member of the Serpent Clan, hailing from the Demonic Dominion?

Lu Yu thought to himself: No wonder, no wonder none of the other civilizations that had learned about other cultures had found any information about the King of Serpents. He had no civilization, hailing from the domain of the Unified Demon.

The King of Ten Thousand Snakes stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and laughed loudly, “O Serpent Demon of the Void, you didn’t kill me only because I was of value. But you’ve misjudged me—I hold no gratitude toward you at all—”

The King of Ten Thousand Snakes laughed louder, his expression growing more hideous. He gritted his teeth and said, “Back then, you went to great lengths to send me out of the domain, didn’t you? All to have me open the passage for you to return to the land. But what a pity—you overestimated yourselves.”

The Void Serpent Demon coldly said, “I don’t need you anymore. If all of you are sacrificed in blood, that will be enough. Since you’ve come here, you’ll all stay here.”

“You half-human, half-serpent wretch, what makes you think you’re worthy to challenge us?” a divine servant sneered coldly, “Do you even know who I am? You have no right to speak here.”

The divine servant’s body shimmered with golden light, displaying a formidable divine might.

“Those who are not of my kind must die!” the snake demon said coldly. “You call me a half-human, half-snake abomination? Then let me show you the power of transformation.”

The snake demon’s tail suddenly split as he swung it, and his lower body also transformed into a human form.

Boom!

The snake demon stamped its foot on the ground, and the person vanished.

The next moment, the snake demon appeared behind the divine servant, one hand pressing on the servant’s shoulder while the other grabbed the servant’s head and violently yanked it off.

Snap!

A person’s head was torn off, and blood from the neck sprayed into the sky.

The Void Serpent Demon opened its mouth wide, its jaw expanding infinitely like a snake’s, swallowing the head of the divine servant into its maw with a crunching, crackling sound!

“The taste is quite good,” the Void Serpent Demon said, having devoured a human’s skull. His eyes gleamed as he threw the corpse in his hand toward the serpent people at the back, saying, “Take it. Offer it in blood.”

The Heaven-Sundering King and others turned their gaze toward the Ten Thousand Snake King, their faces dark and cold.

This seems different from the information they received from the King of Ten Thousand Snakes.

The King of Ten Thousand Snakes sneered coldly, “Now that I’m here, did you really think I would come unprepared?”

At this moment, Lu Yu subtly pointed towards Feng Xiaobao, signaling him to get ready.

Once he starts, it’s the moment for Feng Xiaobao to make his move.

Now, the King of Ten Thousand Snakes and the Snake Demon have already drawn a great deal of the statue’s snake people’s attention.
