Chapter 1456: Diewumeng's Divine Ability, the Mangshan Snake King's Molting

Snake nest.

Deadly poison.

Annihilation.

Two snakes share the heavens.

The Mangshan Snake King had no scruples regarding them; he acted directly, as ruthless as possible.

He wasted no words on them, no pretense, he killed them, after which no one could prevent him from ascending to the Mangshan Demon Emperor; that seat was his.

No one could take it from him; anyone who hindered him was his enemy; facing enemies, he must unleash thunderous strikes, swiftly obliterate them, leaving them unable to resist him.

The Mangshan Snake King unleashed his divine might, continuously employing his divine abilities; he even mastered the Mangshan Demon Emperor's divine abilities.

Annihilation Divine Ability is the Mangshan Demon Emperor's signature ability, also his fame‑making ability; its power is tremendous—right hand wields deadly poison, left hand commands annihilation, countless poisonous snakes coil beneath his feet, heavenly timing, earthly advantage, and human harmony all favor him; who could stand against him?

Unfamiliar with the Annihilation Divine Ability, after using it a few times, one naturally becomes proficient.

Pfft.

Pfft‑pfft.

Three figures shot out; Diewumeng's face turned ashen, she fiercely glared at the Bee King and Tiger King, warning: 'Black Tiger, Bee King, you two dare to plot against me?'

"Diewumeng King, don't say that; we three are one body—if we die, you won't fare any better." Black Tiger rose, wiped blood from his lips, pointed at the Mangshan Snake King, and said ruthlessly: 'He won't spare any of us; he's gone blood‑mad, devoured the Mangshan Demon Emperor's body—even the Demon Emperor's Excellency's flesh isn't easy to consume.'

"He must be affected—look, his eyes are already red."

"He has lost his sanity; if we don't kill him, we cannot get away."

The Bee King's expression was also grim; he naturally sensed the Mangshan Snake King's abnormality, and upon seeing Bai Xinlan and Xu Kongwang, he thought their acting was too fake.

They hadn't attacked yet, merely tested each other lightly, without directly employing divine abilities; most of their focus remained here.

"Hmph." Diewumeng snorted coldly, shot them a deadly glare, then launched an attack on the Mangshan Snake King.

Charm.

No matter how furious, they had to defeat the Mangshan Snake King first; this person had them in his sights, and there was no getting away.

Unless they stay away from the Mangshan Mountain Range, they will inevitably draw his attention; once that happens, trying to kill him will not be easy.

Now is the perfect moment—while he is wounded, before he has fully merged with the Mangshan Demon Emperor's body, before he has completely digested it; if they don't strike now, later they will truly be no match for him.

Consuming a demon emperor's corpse would at least trigger one metamorphosis in their bodies—a demon beast's transformation—making them terrifyingly powerful, vastly boosting their strength and elevating their innate gifts.

The longer the delay, the worse it is for them.

This fight has reached this stage; there is no retreat; she also knows she must settle the Mangshan Snake King swiftly.

The Mangshan Snake King's motion stalled, his blood‑red eyes glazing over momentarily.

"Why haven't you two moved yet?"

The Bee King sprang into action, instantly shifting into his true form as the Earth Origin Bee King, unleashing a barrage of his poison needles.

A dense hail of poison needles struck, piercing his scales across the Mangshan Snake King's body and injecting toxin into him.

These toxins, accumulated by the Bee King over a thousand years, are extraordinarily potent.

Struck.

The Bee King was elated, confident that these toxins would surely poison the Mangshan Snake King.

We'll have to wait to see how effective it is.

Mountain Lord's Body.

Black Tiger's body expanded, instantly transforming into a towering Mountain Lord.

He resembled a mountain‑sized tiger, imposing and formidable.

He lifted his huge hand and slammed it onto the Mangshan Snake King; his massive bulk crashed down instantly.

Boom—

Not finished yet—Black Tiger leapt up and lunged to bite.

In the duel of the two beasts, the Mangshan Snake King regained consciousness, yet Black Tiger's jaws were locked onto his body, leaving him unable to move.

Damn it.

The Mangshan Snake King awoke, shaking off the Charm; the events of that moment unfolded too quickly.

The toxin seeped into his body, continually stimulating his flesh and beginning to slowly destroy it.

He quickly contained the toxin, keeping it from spreading to his viscera.

One head was ripped away, the other pressed down; the tiger's claws locked tight, as if to sever his neck.

Hiss—

The Mangshan Snake King flicked his tongue, twisted his body; his sinuous form coiled around Black Tiger, looping around him a few times and beginning to relentlessly constrict.

A snake and a tiger entered into a struggle.

Black Tiger dared not release his grip; he had to keep his teeth sunk into the Mangshan Snake King's neck to hold him fast.

Enter Dream.

Diewumeng sprang lightly, landing above the Mangshan Snake King's skull, and pointed at his head.

The Mangshan Snake King's eyes grew heavy, then shut.

He seemed to have fallen asleep.

Unable to open his eyes, he struggled, the coils loosened, and he relaxed.

His strength began to fade, and the Bee King sprang into action.

Go die.

Earth Origin Poison Needle.

The Bee King darted forward, appearing in a flash behind the Mangshan Snake King, taking aim at his vital point to deal a lethal strike.

Just as the strike was about to hit, the Mangshan Snake King's eyes flew open, his body began to writhe swiftly—indeed, it started to molt.

That layer of skin quickly peeled off, and he also broke free from the black tiger's restraints; turning around, he opened a bloody great maw at the Earth Bee King flying toward the sky.

At that moment, the sky turned dark.

The huge mouth obscured heaven and earth.

Seeing this, the Earth Bee King, without a word, directly ceased its attack.

His body turned into countless illusions; in less than a breath, he escaped the attack of the bloody great maw.

This is his divine ability, Ninefold Shadow Illusion, a supreme escape technique.

The bee king escaped the disaster, but before he could catch his breath, the poisonous snakes below swiftly flew at him; one slip, and he was still entangled by the snakes, which tore and injected venom.

One snake lunged forward, followed immediately by a second, then a third, and then a swarm of snakes lunged at him, surrounding him.

The black tiger's side was the same.

Covered by the poisonous snakes, he was wrapped into a sphere.

Diewumeng quickly retreated, preventing those poisonous snakes from approaching; precisely, any snake that came within three meters of her body fell to the ground.

His eyes lost reason, completely under her control.

The Mangshan Snake King, Shanmang, his qi burst forth, he nearly died, having been schemed by those three.

"Diewumeng."

Gritting his teeth, it's all Diewumeng's fault; this demon is so strange, so mysterious.

Those divine abilities are exceedingly strange, impossible to guard against.

Even if the Mangshan Demon King had been on guard, he still got hit; if he had not devoured the Demon Emperor's flesh, his blood and flesh undergoing transformation, failing to complete the molt and to awaken, he might truly have fallen.

"Shanmang, you're really tough." Diewumeng thought she had succeeded, but in the end she still failed.

The Mangshan Snake King is not simple, nor easy to deal with.
