Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 648: Chapter 610: The Yellow Demon King’s Methods (Part 2)

He gnawed for a long while, his sharp teeth almost worn flat, but the iron cage still hadn’t broken.

It was a time-consuming task, much like a mouse gnawing away at something.

GRIND... GRIND...!

The ear-piercing sound echoed endlessly through the space, like a ceaseless trickle.

"Brother Lang, to be honest, you look absolutely hideous biting that iron cage right now," the Golden-haired Little Monster said from inside, a relaxed expression on its face.

"Fuck you! Who the hell do you think I’m doing this for?" As Yellow Robe gnawed, a terrifying killing intent erupted from him. ’A dignified Deep Mountain Demon King, reduced to such a pathetic state by a mere iron cage.’

Suddenly...!

A fierce gust of wind kicked up sand and stones, and a sharp rebuke immediately rang out.

"What fiend dares trespass in the Demon Prison!"

Yellow Robe froze. A middle-aged man with a powerful aura had materialized and was now staring at him with a strange expression.

The newcomer was none other than the director of the Demon Management Bureau, Wu Tianyi.

As soon as Wu Tianyi arrived in the deepest part of the prison, he saw Yellow Robe gnawing furiously at an iron cage. He couldn’t help but ask, "Is it tasty?"

Hearing this, Yellow Robe nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood. ’To be seen at my most pathetic... I’ve lost all face.’

"I was wondering who would be so bold as to trespass in the Demon Prison. So, it is Your Excellency, the Yellow Demon King, one of the five great kings of the Yaoling Mountain Range."

In the world today, there was only one Weasel whose cultivation had reached the level of a Deep Mountain Demon King: the Yellow Demon King from the Yaoling Mountain Range.

"Haha..." His identity exposed, the Yellow Demon King made a show of lowering the iron cage from his mouth. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. "Director Wu, I didn’t expect you to have the leisure to come and stop me."

"Hmph." Wu Tianyi’s expression turned cold. His gaze, sharp as a razor, fixed on the Yellow Demon King and the iron cage in his hands. "Trying to break the Six-eyed Golden Lion out of prison? You’re severely underestimating us here in Wencheng."

"I wouldn’t call it underestimating you. Let’s just say my luck has been good, and things have gone quite smoothly," the Yellow Demon King said with a hint of smugness.

’To open every cell in Wencheng’s Demon Prison and sow chaos... if word of this feat got back to the Yaoling Mountain Range, it would become a legendary tale.’

’Moreover, my fame as the Yellow Demon King would be peerless for a time. This act would greatly bolster the might of the Demon Race and crush humanity’s arrogance.’

’And all the Demons I freed would be eternally grateful to me.’

"Things have gone smoothly? I beg to differ." As he spoke, Wu Tianyi’s gaze fell upon the iron cage in the Yellow Demon King’s hands.

At the end of the day, the Six-eyed Golden Lion was still in the Demon Prison, still in a cage. Nothing had truly changed.

The Yellow Demon King’s face twitched in fury. He desperately wished he could just smash the indestructible iron cage in his hands.

Seeing Wu Tianyi, the Golden-haired Little Monster in the cage let out a piercing shriek. "Damned human! Just wait until I get out! I’ll slaughter every last person in Wencheng!"

As it spoke, the Golden-haired Little Monster’s eyes turned blood-red. A terrifyingly immense Evil Qi flooded the area.

"Six-eyed Golden Lion, you’re not getting out. You’ve been imprisoned by humans for a thousand years. As long as we don’t wish to release you, not even God himself could save you."

The Yellow Demon King sneered. "Big words. Director Wu, you may be the top master in Wencheng, but in my Yaoling Mountain Range, you are nothing. Get lost if you know what’s good for you. Don’t force me to kill you."

"As I see it, this prison is about to gain a new inmate: a Deep Mountain Demon King. You Weasel can forget about leaving today. You’re staying."

An earth-shattering aura erupted from Wu Tianyi, so terrifying it could make ghosts and gods weep. The space around him twisted violently, and the ground began to shake.

"Your aura...?" The Yellow Demon King was stunned for a moment. "Your cultivation... you broke through?"

’Everyone says the Director of Wencheng is an old monster, as elusive as a Divine Dragon that only shows its head but never its tail. But because he suffered a cultivation deviation in his early years, he’s long been unable to become one of the world’s truly peak experts.’

’What is a peak expert? In the Yaoling Mountain Range, the Deep Mountain Demon Kings are the peak.’

’For humans, a War God is equivalent to a Demon King, and a High Rank War God is comparable to a Deep Mountain Demon King.’

’The step beyond that is Peak Rank Three.’

’Once one cultivates to Peak Rank Three, they can achieve Rank Four of Ascension.’

’It’s just like how one must undergo the Crossing the Tribulation at Peak Rank Two.’

’It’s just that Ascension is hundreds or even thousands of times more difficult than Crossing the Tribulation.’

For the Yellow Demon King to dare attempt a jailbreak in Wencheng, he had naturally made himself fully aware of the city’s human masters, especially the Director of the Demon Management Bureau.

’This is getting troublesome.’ The Yellow Demon King felt the pressure. This was human territory, after all, and he had come alone.

"Brother Lang, hurry up and gnaw! Let me out so I can tear this old human bastard to shreds!" The Six-eyed Golden Lion hated Wu Tianyi down to its very bones.

Although Wu Tianyi wasn’t the one who had locked it in the Demon Prison, its hatred was still monstrous. Perhaps it was more accurate to say it hated all human Martial Cultivators.

’If not for a group of human masters ganging up on it back then, wearing it down through a battle of attrition, how could it have been imprisoned for a thousand years?’

"Brother Six Eyes, do you really think I have time to be gnawing on this cage right now?" the Yellow Demon King said, speechless. ’Is this Wu Tianyi guy just going to stand there and watch me, doing nothing?’

Just then...

Wu Tianyi made his move. His body seemed to explode, transforming into a blazing sun as he charged the Yellow Demon King. The phenomenon was terrifying to behold.

"You think I’d be afraid of you humans?"

The Yellow Demon King’s yellow robes swelled as a violent torrent of Demon Qi surged from his body. His face contorted into a ferocious snarl as he rushed forward to meet the attack.

BOOM... RUMBLE...!

In front of the small palace, a human High Rank War God battled a Deep Mountain Demon King. These were experts whose every stomp could shake the earth. As they fought, their respective battle manifestations erupted, making observers feel as if they had been plunged into the arena of Asuras.

"Damned old human! Let me out! I’ll fight you myself!"

Trapped in the small iron cage, the Golden-haired Little Monster snarled, its voice hoarse. It wished for nothing more than to take the Yellow Demon King’s place.

The Six-eyed Golden Lion was violent and bloodthirsty by nature, a warlike fiend. Its cultivation had been forged on the battlefield of life and death.

A thousand years of imprisonment had left it itching for a fight.

Amidst the thunderous explosions, after a few exchanges, Wu Tianyi and the Yellow Demon King both broke away. It was a probing attack; they were both being restrained, not immediately committing to a battle to the death.

Besides, with their level of cultivation, a true battle between them wouldn’t be a simple matter of life and death. It would be difficult to reach a decisive conclusion, at least not in a short amount of time.

Wu Tianyi’s aura grew increasingly intense, yet his eyes were filled with shock—not at the Yellow Demon King’s fearsome power, but because of something else...!

He said suddenly, "You’re just a projection clone."

"Haha... is a mere Demon Prison worthy of my true body’s presence?" the Yellow Demon King said coldly.

For a Weasel to reach such a level of cultivation, Talent was important, but its cautious and calculating personality was also a key factor.

He would never risk coming to a human Demon Prison in his true body. One wrong move and he too might become a beast trapped in a cage.

Although this was just a projection clone, it wasn’t an ordinary one. It had been cultivated using a Secret Technique of the Demon Race, making it nearly indistinguishable from his real body and granting it strength at the Demon King level.

More than enough to pull off a jailbreak.

The Yellow Demon King’s plan had been meticulous: catch the humans off guard, quickly release all the Demons in the outer areas to create chaos, then head to the deepest part of the prison and open the Six-eyed Golden Lion’s cage. Once that was done, his great task would be complete. The projection clone could then dissipate, and with the Six-eyed Golden Lion’s strength, it could easily fight its own way out.

At most, he would just need to provide support from the outside.

But alas, plans rarely keep up with reality. Since he couldn’t open the small iron cage holding the Six-eyed Golden Lion, he couldn’t just let it fight its own way out.

The problem was, with Wu Tianyi blocking his path, he had no way of fighting his way out while carrying the small iron cage.

A mere projection clone would never be able to get past Wu Tianyi.

If the projection clone dissipated, this whole affair would be for nothing, and he would never get another chance like this again.

The Yellow Demon King was growing desperate. He could still retreat unscathed, but he couldn’t let all this effort be for nothing—like drawing water with a bamboo basket.
