Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 644: Chapter 608: Re-entering the Demon Prison, Part 2

This was the main battlefield. Nearby, there were as many as a hundred other battlefields, large and small. Martial Cultivators from the Administration, students from the Ancient Academy, and even experts from some Hidden Clans had all joined the fray. It was a chaotic melee between humans and Demons, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.

A Peak Second Rank Lion Spirit roared again and again, its Demon Power boiling. It forcefully swallowed a Rank Two student from the Ancient Academy in a single gulp, then let out a cruel burp and a cackle. "I haven’t eaten a human in over two hundred years! How satisfying! How satisfying!"

As it spoke, its Demon Power intensified. It opened its massive maw and inhaled sharply. An Awakened Martial Cultivator, his face filled with terror, flew uncontrollably toward that gaping mouth.

"No, don’t eat me!"

CHOMP... Swallowed in one bite. The Lion Demon laughed wildly. "For every year you humans locked me up, I’ll eat one of you! No, I’ll repay you tenfold!"

"Demon, die!" A Flying Sword descended from the sky, plunging razor-sharp into the top of the Lion Spirit’s head.

The Lion Spirit instantly froze as if petrified, then crashed to the ground, its life force extinguished.

Demons devouring humans, humans slaying Demons—scenes like this played out over and over.

Tu Xiao’an sat atop the Golden-winged Flying Horse, his expression solemn. He was both human and Demon, which put him in a slightly awkward position.

It felt wrong to help either side, but these were extraordinary times, and he couldn’t just stand by and watch.

A war between Awakened Martial Cultivators and Demons was one thing, but the problem was that if these Demons escaped, they would cause Huo Luan.

It was as if they had all lost their minds.

They hated humanity to the bone.

"You brat, what are you doing just standing there watching the show? Get over here and help!"

The Vice Dean was fighting three Demon Spirits at the Pseudo Demon King Level. Those three Demon Spirits were all Great Demons who had once dominated their own territories. For the moment, the old man was struggling to defeat them. Seeing Tu Xiao’an’s arrival, his eyes lit up as he bellowed.

"You have fun, old man. I have other things to do."

Tu Xiao’an gave a faint smile, not intending to get involved. ’Isn’t this old man supposed to be all-powerful? Why would he need my help?’

He was a man destined for great things, after all.

The outskirts of the Demon Prison were a chaotic melee of humans and Demons. Tu Xiao’an considered for a moment. He couldn’t let any more Demons escape.

Every one that got out meant more innocent people would die.

At that moment, an intense, deep-blue aura erupted from Tu Xiao’an’s body. The surrounding temperature plummeted, as if it were the dead of winter.

Immediately, Tu Xiao’an raised a hand. His features were as fine as a painting, and his pair of bewitching eyes glinted with a cold light. He stated indifferently, "Thousand-Mile Ice Seal... A Prison Drawn from the Land."

A jet of deep-blue aura shot skyward from Tu Xiao’an’s palm, then rapidly spread out in all directions, forming a natural, deep-blue barrier that settled over the area.

It enveloped a ten-kilometer radius, forming a terrifying, deep-blue Ice Prison. It was incredibly sturdy; those outside couldn’t get in, and those inside couldn’t get out.

A prison within a prison.

’If you all love fighting so much, you can do it slowly, cooped up inside this Snake King’s Ice Prison.’

Tu Xiao’an did this to prevent the Demons from escaping. His Ice Frost Power was now immensely powerful, and the solidified ice wall it formed was a seamless whole that no one could break.

Even an expert at the Demon King Level would have to expend some effort to break it.

He had Su Rushi’s Cold Yin Qi to thank for this, as it had greatly increased the Power of his Ice Frost Power.

An Ice Prison of this Elemental Attribute was strong, but if the humans and Demons were to declare a truce and work together to break it, they could shatter it in an instant. However, they were all far too busy with their chaotic melee.

An individual Demon definitely wouldn’t have the power to break through.

"What’s going on? What’s going on?"

A Rank Two Little Demon, having no intention of tangling with the human Martial Cultivators, had been trying to rush out. Suddenly, its path was blocked by a sealed ice wall. As it looked around, it saw it was truly trapped in a prison drawn from the land.

"Hmph, what’s this? Shatter!"

The Little Demon slammed a fist into the ice wall, but then its expression froze, gradually replaced by horror.

’This ice wall...?!!’

An icy chill spread out, and the Little Demon was instantly turned into an ice sculpture.

This was the most terrifying aspect of Tu Xiao’an’s technique—you couldn’t even touch it carelessly.

"Well done!"

When the Vice Dean saw Tu Xiao’an’s grand move, he immediately understood his intention and no longer blamed him for not coming to his aid.

"Director Wu went into the Demon Prison. Most of the Demons have already broken out of their cells, but this isn’t the worst of it yet. If that Deep Mountain Demon King in the deepest part of the prison breaks out too, then we’ll be in real trouble. You need to get in there and help!"

But Tu Xiao’an asked, "Have you found out who did this?"

"Hmph, your Demon Race, of course! They took the opportunity to kick us while we’re down and opened the gates to the Demon Prison!" The Vice Dean grew angry just talking about it and shot Tu Xiao’an a harsh glare.

It was as if he were saying, ’Couldn’t your Demon Race wait even a little longer? Did you have to force the issue?’

Tu Xiao’an shrugged. ’What the hell does that have to do with me?’

"Their goal is to release the Six-eyed Golden Lion! Go stop them! If that evil creature escapes, the consequences will be unimaginable," the Vice Dean said gravely.

A Deep Mountain Demon King that had been imprisoned by humans for over a thousand years... one could only imagine the thunderous rage it would unleash upon its release.

Its danger level was more terrifying than that of hundreds of Fierce Beasts combined.

’This Snake King would like to see what a Six-eyed Golden Lion looks like,’ Tu Xiao’an thought. Things were still manageable, as the Six-eyed Golden Lion hadn’t broken out yet. He would go in and meet it. He said lightly, "Old man, I’ll leave the outside to you. Can you handle it?"

The Vice Dean snorted coldly. "I’m not so old that I can’t even handle a situation like this."

Tu Xiao’an had also taken note of the situation. Although there were many Demons here, the strongest combatants were only at the Pseudo Demon King Level. There were six or seven of them, but the humans should be able to handle it. He also noticed another old man whose strength was in no way inferior to the Vice Dean’s. He wondered who that might be. But he had no time to worry about that now.

"Purple-eyed Ape, Golden-winged Horse, you two stay behind and help this old man. Don’t let him get eaten by a Demon."

The situation was too chaotic right now. The old man was powerful, but even he couldn’t fight against overwhelming numbers. If something unexpected were to happen to him, Tu Xiao’an wouldn’t necessarily be sad, but he was, after all, Su Rushi’s biological grandfather. That was a connection he had to take into account.

"Aren’t that ape and horse also escapees from the prison?" the Vice Dean asked, shocked.

"Hehe, they’re this Snake King’s Battle Companions now. I’m leaving them to give you a hand."

Without further explanation, Tu Xiao’an shot toward the entrance of the Demon Prison and charged straight inside.

The moment he charged in, he was met by a Great Demon that had just run out from the prison’s depths. Its true form was a leopard, and its Cultivation had reached the level of a Deep Mountain Great Demon.

"Human, die!"

"Ice Seal!"

Tu Xiao’an pointed a finger, and the leopard was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture.

’Looks like there are still quite a few Great Demons trying to escape from inside. Just how many Demons are locked up in this Demon Prison?’

Tu Xiao’an was truly surprised. He had really underestimated the Demon Prison before.

Since there were still many Demons inside who hadn’t escaped, Tu Xiao’an thought for a moment. To keep the old man outside from being overwhelmed, he said lightly, "Five-headed Evil Snake, Golden Pupils, come out."

WHOOSH...!

Space rippled, and the Evil Snake, with its five swaying Snake Heads, appeared before Tu Xiao’an, along with Golden Pupils, the king among cats.

"You two guard the entrance. Don’t let a single Demon escape."

"Yes, Master."

These two little guys had been in the system for many days. It was about time they came out to stretch their legs.

The Demons rushing out of the prison now were all at the Great Demon Level. This was a good chance for these two little guys to have a feast and quickly raise their Level and strength.

Once these two little guys’ Level reached Level 35, Tu Xiao’an would be able to evolve them.

With these two Heng and Ha Generals guarding the prison entrance, Tu Xiao’an felt very much at ease.

In terms of ferocity, the snake and the cat were more vicious than anyone. In terms of strength, even a being at the Pseudo Demon King Level would be no match for them.

They were two utterly, freakishly powerful creatures.

At that moment, Tu Xiao’an sensed for the location of his old servant, Wu Tianyi. He was surprised to find Wu Tianyi was tens of thousands of meters away. ’This Demon Prison is that big?’ he thought, startled.

It stretched for such a great distance. No wonder so many Demons had managed to rush out.

This was Tu Xiao’an’s second time visiting the Demon Prison. He took a step forward, and his figure shot deeper inside, as graceful and ephemeral as a phantom.
