Upon arriving at the border of the Serpent Empire, Apas's expression turned to one of reminiscence.
She grew up in the Serpent Empire, but everything changed when Queen Mother Medusa was nearing the end of her life.
'My two dear older sisters, it's time to repay you for all the hurt you've caused me over the years.'
Subsequently, guided by Apas, an "insider" familiar with the map of the Serpent Empire, Su Lan and his two companions arrived at a palace without any incident.
Ye Xinxia and the two alien girls did not come together; their strength was too weak, so they could only watch from a distance.
Inside the palace, Serafina, Sulan, and Apas, concealing all their presence, saw an enormous, monstrous creature, a hybrid of snake and scorpion.
It has the body of a snake or scorpion, with a long tail followed by a giant hook, and its body is covered with fine scales.
When a demon breaks through from the monarch level to the emperor level, even the weakest sub-emperor will experience a leap in their life level.
Both their vitality and combat effectiveness have been enhanced like never before.
However, this did not stump Serafina.
Su Lan looked at Serafina.
Serafina nodded at Su Lan's instruction.
Almost in the blink of an eye, amidst Apas's terrified expression, an attack comparable to a true emperor-level power took shape in Serafina's hand.
When this attack, comparable to that of a true emperor, took shape in Seraphia's hands, she was no longer able to conceal Su Lan and the others' whereabouts, as she was using most of her power for the attack.
Including her own whereabouts.
Therefore, this orthodox, emperor-level attack appeared openly in the palace of the Serpent Ancestor.
At this moment, the scorpion patriarch was in a deep sleep.
Normally, the Snake Scorpion Ancestor would sleep until much later than usual.
However, the appearance of Serafina's true imperial-level aura abruptly awakened the Serpent Ancestor, who had been in a deep sleep.
This is the body's danger protection mechanism desperately trying to summon the sleeping rationality of the venomous ancestor.
As soon as I looked up, I saw three people in front of me.
He didn't recognize one of the men and one of the women.
The little girl between the man and the woman was someone the venomous patriarch knew about.
After realizing that the Golden-Eyed Medusa was not loyal to him, he allowed the Scorpion Queen Medusa and the Harpy Medusa, who belonged to him, to hunt down and devour Apas!
Shouldn't Apas be on the run right now?
How could I be standing in front of two strangers?
But that's not the most important thing!
The important question is, what exactly is going on with this orthodox, emperor-level attack?
How could this be...?
A hundred thoughts raced in a fraction of a second, but Serafina's attack was even faster than the venomous patriarch's thoughts.
Just as it was about to figure out the situation, Serafina's attack had already silently pierced through the scorpion patriarch's limbs, tail, head, and various vital organs.
The venomous patriarch, whose vital organs were pierced in an instant, should theoretically not have died.
It wasn't like the venomous ancestor was instantly reduced to dust; he was merely fatally wounded.
A mere fatal wound is nothing to the demon king.
Fatal injuries are the easiest to treat.
Wounds to the soul and spirit are the most difficult to treat.
That's not all!
The Serpent Ancestor, who only possessed the strength of a sub-Emperor, had no ability to resist an attack with the aura of a true Emperor.
This is a crushing defeat of those of higher status, a common occurrence for higher-ranking emperors to suppress lower-ranking emperors.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Scorpion Ancestor was restrained and unable to move, Serafina directly inserted her tail into the scales on the Scorpion Ancestor's body.
The pure and rich life force of the Emperor level flowed into Serafina's body like a surging river through her tail.
Originally, they were still far from replenishing enough life energy to restore even a portion of their strength, but now they have moved forward a significant distance.
Next, Serafina's strength rapidly increased.
Originally possessing the aura of a supreme monarch, he directly stepped into the realm of an invincible monarch.
The title "Invincible Monarch" is not a legitimate realm; it simply means that the demon is virtually invincible at the monarch level.
Even after reaching the Invincible Monarch level, Serafina's strength continued to recover.
His complexion is getting better and better, and his strength is getting stronger and stronger.
In contrast, the forcibly trapped Snake Scorpion Ancestor was now visibly shrinking and shriveling, until he was nothing but skin and bones and collapsed completely.
With the final roar of "I am not reconciled!" from the Snake Scorpion Ancestor, all of his life energy was completely drained.
After the death of the Serpent Ancestor, its complete sub-emperor essence immediately appeared before Serafina.
Serafina stored the sub-emperor-level essence into her storage space.
This essence of a sub-emperor is definitely not for sale.
The best outcome is to keep it for our own people.
After acquiring the essence of the Scorpion Ancestor, Serafina, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, also collected the skeleton left behind by the Scorpion Ancestor.
Demons that can reach the level of sub-emperors have miraculous effects, not to mention a piece of flesh, even a drop of blood.
The events that occurred in the enormous palace of the Serpent Ancestor seem to have taken place over a long period of time.
However, from the moment Serafina and her two companions appeared in the palace, to Serafina killing the Serpent Ancestor and finally taking all of the Serpent Ancestor's spoils, the entire process was completed.
Less than thirty seconds had passed.
No one could have imagined that in just thirty seconds, the sub-emperor who ruled a colossal African empire would fall without any chance to fight back.
Meanwhile, the demons outside the enormous palace had begun to descend into chaos.
Just now, when Serafina was unable to conceal her aura, the aura of a true emperor-level attack covered the entire Serpent Empire.
Although it was only a fleeting moment and lasted for a short time, it caused all the members of the Serpent Empire to prostrate themselves on the ground, unable to move.
At the same time, all the high-ranking combatants of the Serpent Empire were shocked.
How could such a powerful force, even stronger than that of the Serpent Ancestor, appear in the Serpent Ancestor's palace?
Could it be that the Serpent Ancestor has encountered a powerful enemy and is on the verge of death?
Once the seeds of doubt are sown, they can no longer be suppressed.
Moreover, the entire high-level combat force of the Serpent Empire could not wait for the seeds of doubt to sprout.
In order to gain more benefits, Serafian accelerated the digestion of this sub-emperor-level life energy.
Although some of her life essence will be lost, it will allow her to recover to the strength of a sub-emperor as quickly as possible.
Shortly after the twenty-odd monarch-level serpent-like demons outside sensed the disappearance of the Serpent Ancestor's aura, an unfamiliar, dark, and extremely intense aura of killing intent swept across the entire Serpent Empire.
At this moment, almost all the demons knew.
The Heaven of the Serpent Empire—
Things have changed!
Their guardian deity, the Serpent Ancestor, is most likely dead.
This alarming speculation instantly swept through all the monarch-level demons.
Their first instinct wasn't to avenge their nemesis, but to flee for their lives.
A new emperor brings a new court.
Heaven knows if the people who killed the Serpent Empire will turn on them.
Clearly, these monarch-level demons were right.
Now that Serafina has rapidly recovered to the level of a sub-emperor, she has set her sights on the twenty-odd monarch-level demons.
