Invincible Snake Emperor-Chapter 143 - 141: The Snake Spirit’s Water Ability

On the peak of She Mountain, two illusory figures manifested and faced off.

At the same time, two powerful auras surged toward the heavens. Flocks of birds in the forest instantly took flight, and all manner of creatures fled in a mad scramble, as if the apocalypse had arrived, desperate to get away from the area.

"Done running?"

The Snake Spirit looked on with haughty disdain, its Snake Gaze glowing as it stared at the opposing Gold and Silver Snake.

Tu Xiao'an's voice was cold and flat. "This is my territory. Why should I run? You, on the other hand... I'm afraid you're about to die far from home."

"GAGA... Such shameless boasting, you little Earth Snake. I take it you're unaware of my true power." The Snake Spirit's eyes shone with immense confidence. In Ancient Times, its Ba Snake clan had been the overlords of the Snake Race. Any snake that dared to challenge them was simply courting death.

Tu Xiao'an had no desire to waste words with it. This fight was unavoidable, unless the Snake Spirit was willing to tuck its tail between its legs and slink out of Bai Town's territory.

"Bring it on."

The Gold and Silver Snake's aura surged as its body soared upwards, transforming in an instant into a twelve-meter-long Giant Snake that looked down upon the Snake Spirit.

The Snake Spirit witnessed this scene with complete composure. A flash of contempt crossed its eyes as it sneered, "You're the first one to dare compare size with my Ba Snake clan."

'Of course, I'm not actually trying to compete with it in size,' Tu Xiao'an thought. 'I just want to see how massive a legendary Ancient Snake Species can really get.'

ROAR—

A cry like a dragon's roar shot toward the heavens, striking fear into the countless creatures on She Mountain, leaving them to tremble in terror.

In a flash, a thirty-meter python manifested in the sky. It opened its cavernous, bloody maw, posturing as if it would swallow the round moon whole. A fierce gale suddenly swept through, churning the clouds. The forest seemed to be hit by a tornado as dust flew everywhere. The wind picked up, sending red leaves swirling through the air, and the world filled with a cold, murderous aura.

'Thirty meters... Oh my god.'

Tu Xiao'an was completely dumbfounded. He hadn't expected this at all.

His own twelve-meter Giant Snake was nothing in comparison.

'A Black Snake with an Azure Head that eats elephants.'

'Damn, something this size could swallow more than an elephant—it could probably swallow a dinosaur.'

'This is insane. A full thirty meters. It's hard to even comprehend what that means.'

'To a creature like this, a human would be no different than an ant.'

'As expected of an Ancient Snake Species. Its natural Talent is just on another level.' Tu Xiao'an figured that even if he were the same Level as his opponent, his own body could never grow to be thirty meters long.

And he had even been injected with the Giant Snake Gene. Without it, he wouldn't even be twelve meters long now.

Whether in terms of Level or physical size, Tu Xiao'an was completely outclassed.

It was safe to say he had no chance of winning.

On any other day, Tu Xiao'an would have definitely fled. But he still had an ace up his sleeve. He possessed Thunder Power, and its might was immense. Defeat wasn't a foregone conclusion.

Besides, this was Bai Town's territory. How could he possibly lose here?

"Little Earth Snake, obediently hand over my child and submit to me. Perhaps I will be merciful and spare your life."

When the thirty-meter Giant Snake opened its cavernous, bloody maw, the world seemed to darken. It spoke in a hoarse, imperious voice. The venomous snakes on She Mountain had long been frightened into groveling on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

Tu Xiao'an's expression was grim as tiny sparks of electricity began to arc and flicker around his body.

"You talk too much! Have a taste of my thunder!"

BOOM! A deafening thunderclap erupted. A bright light flared above the thirty-meter Snake Spirit's head, and a thick bolt of lightning struck down violently.

'More thunder?'

The Snake Spirit was inwardly disdainful. It had been somewhat afraid of the Thunder when it possessed a human body, but that was only because a human's body was so pathetically weak.

But now, it had returned to its true form—a majestic, thirty-meter-long body that was indestructible and lawless. What was a mere bolt of lightning to something like that?

The Snake Spirit didn't even entertain the thought of dodging. It simply allowed the bolt of lightning to strike its massive body. Besides, its body was so large that it couldn't have dodged even if it had wanted to. How could it possibly move faster than lightning?

BZZZT...

An electric current coursed through the thirty-meter Snake Spirit's body, and white smoke began to rise from its azure-black scales.

"You think you can harm me with thunder this weak? You're dreaming!"

A vicious glint flashed in the Snake Spirit's eyes. It gave its body a single shake, and the ground beneath it split open. The electricity coursing over its scales instantly dissipated.

'Looks like I'll have to unleash all the electrical power in my body at once if I want to have any hope of seriously injuring it.'

Of course, Tu Xiao'an hadn't been naive enough to think a single bolt of lightning would injure the Snake Spirit; that had just been a test.

"Little Earth Snake, why don't you have a look at my heaven-defying power!"

"Water Dragon!"

The Snake Spirit let out a roar like a crashing tsunami. As it opened its cavernous maw, a turbulent, massive pillar of water surged forth.

The churning pillar of water shot across the empty space, taking the shape of a dragon as it came to devour him with unstoppable force.

"A Water Attribute Ability?"

Tu Xiao'an instantly recalled the information from his Insight on the Snake Spirit. All Awakened Creatures had their own methods, but possessing an attribute ability was an incredible feat.

Even with his system, he had only been granted the Thunder Attribute Ability after using Devouring on the Mutated Chicken Crowned Snake and completing the first stage of his evolution.

The Water Dragon was incredibly fast and powerful. Seeing that it was about to devour the twelve-meter-long Giant Snake, Tu Xiao'an, who was no fool, immediately tried to dodge.

But just then, a crafty glint flashed through the Snake Spirit's enormous pupils.

The ground beneath Tu Xiao'an suddenly cracked open, and a pillar of water shot toward the sky, blasting him high into the air.

'This is bad!'

Just as the pillar of water launched him upward, he came face-to-face with the surging Water Dragon rushing to devour him.

BOOM—

The entire twelve-meter-long Giant Snake was sent flying, snapping countless trees as it went before crashing violently to the ground.

Just as water has no constant shape, an army has no constant tactics.

The instant Tu Xiao'an crashed to the ground, a dozen more pillars of water erupted around him, surging upward with immense and unstoppable force.

Before Tu Xiao'an could even react, the dozen or so pillars of water converged into a massive torrent that washed over the twelve-meter-long snake on the ground with the force of a tidal wave.

'Holy crap, what a powerful Water Ability!'

After that cry of awe, the twelve-meter-long Giant Snake was submerged.

In this patch of forest, wind howled and water raged. The waves surged like a tsunami crashing into a mountain, as if the land was undergoing a baptism by flood.

"Snake King? GAGA... You're nothing but a little Earth Snake. The light from a grain of rice, daring to compete with the splendor of the sun."

The thirty-meter Snake Spirit's massive head hovered in the air. It spoke contemptuously as it watched the Gold and Silver Snake get swallowed by its torrent.

But suddenly, it...

Hmm?

Just then, it saw a shadow manifest before its eyes. A one-meter-long Gold and Silver Snake had appeared from thin air, radiating a domineering aura as it hovered at the same height.

"Well, well, little Earth Snake. Not drowned yet, I see," the Snake Spirit said mockingly, entirely unconcerned.

The small Gold and Silver Snake stared directly at the thirty-meter Snake Spirit and said nonchalantly, "Thanks for giving me a bath. It was quite refreshing."

The Snake Spirit flew into a rage at its words, and the space around it echoed with booming sounds. "Little Earth Snake, are you truly asking to die? If I swallowed you, you wouldn't even be enough to get stuck in my teeth!"

"If I swallowed you, on the other hand, you'd be a perfect meal."

"You're courting death!"

The Snake Spirit opened its cavernous maw, and a turbulent pillar of water surged out with immense force.

Just then, Tu Xiao'an's Snake Gaze flashed. 'This is the moment I've been waiting for!' Electricity surged over his entire body as he roared, "Thunderous Fury!"

In an instant, more than half of the Power of Thunder and Lightning within him was expended.

The Gold and Silver Snake's body shone with a blinding light as a massive bolt of lightning shot out, striking the gushing pillar of water.

The churning pillar of water hadn't even fully left the Snake Spirit's cavernous maw before the lightning shot up the stream, instantly conducting through it to strike the thirty-meter Snake Spirit.

Water conducts electricity, amplifying the power of the attack. This was precisely why Tu Xiao'an had deliberately provoked the Snake Spirit.
