Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Hmph, if it were a human at the Origin Seeking Realm Middle Stage, I might be a bit apprehensive, but since it’s just a Strange Spirit, it’s simply bad luck for you!”

A cold snort flashed through Yun Xiao’s mind, followed by several unique auras emanating from his body, directly causing the eyes of the two beside him to widen in shock.

”This... This is the Ancestor Vein Power, one, two, three, four, five, a full five veins?”

Especially Ye Suxin, the genius from the Killing Heart Sect, who claims to be the most outstanding female genius of the sect in the past hundred years. Even though she had broken through to the Early Stage of the Origin Seeking Realm, she had only activated a mere two Ancestor Veins.

The Ancestor Vein Power requires family inheritance, undoubtedly favoring families that have been passing down their legacy for over a thousand years, but Ye Suxin’s background is also remarkable. She always believed that, except for the top geniuses, she was never inferior to any of her peers.

Yet, the young man named Xingchen in front of her activated his Ancestor Vein Power, making her feel helpless. If it were about Meridian Qi Cultivation, she would have the Heart Qi to compete, but with the Ancestor Vein Power, it was beyond her reach.

”It seems this boy’s origin is indeed extraordinary. Since enmity has been formed, he must not be spared!”

Tang Yuanmu, on the other side, besides being surprised, had a growing intent to kill because he knew if this black-clothed youth truly had a formidable background and came for him later, it would be disastrous.

As someone like Tang Yuanmu, ruthless in spirit, he was unconcerned about one’s family or powerful forces, preferring to act alone. As long as the opponent’s strong background is unaware, no blame would fall on him.

However, Tang Yuanmu seemed to forget that besides him was Ye Suxin, who was of no less strength. If he wanted to commit murder, he would also need to kill this genius of the Killing Heart Sect to silence her.

Moreover, Tang Yuanmu did not control the current situation. When the black-clothed youth activated five complete Ancestor Veins, his Meridian Qi Cultivation immediately broke through to the Peak of the Qi Seeking Realm.

”At least Earth Rank Low Level Ancestor Veins!”

This time, Ye Suxin’s eyes showed even greater astonishment. Having five Ancestor Veins at the Qi Seeking Realm level was extraordinary enough, and these Ancestor Veins seemed to have reached the Earth-rank Level, which was incredibly unbelievable.

Yun Xiao had no such thoughts; he had long anticipated breaking through to the Peak of the Qi Seeking Realm by activating five Ancestor Vein Powers. At this moment, he had not activated the sixth Thunder Attribute Ancestor Vein, possibly for his own consideration.

Reaching the Peak of the Qi Seeking Realm, Yun Xiao felt unprecedented strength, and even facing a Strange Spirit strong enough to be comparable to the Middle Stage of the Origin Seeking Realm, he felt no fear.

In fact, at this moment, besides being unable to bring Chi Yan into the Thunder King Main Hall, Yun Xiao had within him a Seventh Rank Advanced Red Feather. However, he didn’t want to use these trump cards just yet, as there were still two potential enemies nearby.

”Hmph, so what if you’re at the Peak of the Qi Seeking Realm? You’re still going to die!”

The Thunder King Heart Spirit naturally sensed Yun Xiao’s surge in strength, yet he uttered a cold laugh, seemingly believing there was no significant difference between the Late Stage and the Peak of the Qi Seeking Realm.

The spirit found Yun Xiao’s presence annoying, not because he saw the human as threatening, but because he thought it was the wooden sword that was peculiar, with the Ancestor Vein Power being overly strong. As long as he hadn’t broken through to the Origin Seeking Realm level, the spirit believed he could easily deal with him.

”Oh, really?”

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but chuckle softly, then stomped his left foot on the ground, while his right leg swung like a soft whip towards the attacking spirit.

”Isn’t this too overconfident?”

Seeing Yun Xiao’s actions, both Tang Yuanmu and Ye Suxin had the same thought. After all, they had witnessed the corpse’s physical strength earlier.

Even the weakest eyelids couldn’t be pierced with a sharp knife tip, so the idea of Yun Xiao achieving anything with his kick seemed like a fantasy, with not the slightest chance of success.

But little did these two know, Yun Xiao, having reached the Peak of the Qi Seeking Realm, had physical strength comparable to an Eighth Rank Low Level Vein Demon, especially his right leg endowed with the Earth Attribute Ancestor Veins, impossibly strong.

Bang!

The whip leg Yun Xiao swung ultimately collided fiercely with a withered fist of the corpse spirit, producing a loud noise. After the energy rampaged, Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu witnessed an unbelievably astonishing scene.

The black-clothed youth had indeed stepped back due to the immense force, but in contrast, the corpse spirit’s robust body was forced to retreat three steps, and even its right fist appeared slightly deformed.

”How could this guy’s physical strength be so frightening?”

Seeing this shocking scene, Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu seemed to realize that they had misunderstood something; the young boy, who was only at the late stage of the Qi Seeking Realm earlier, wasn’t as easy to deal with as they imagined.

At least this physical strength was far beyond their reach, especially for Ye Suxin, who was most skilled in movement technique and speed, usually striking stealthily and unexpectedly.

If Ye Suxin had to engage in a direct confrontation, her combat effectiveness would undoubtedly decrease significantly, especially in such frontal battles where she faced opponents with terrifying physical strength; it would be truly disadvantageous.

”When fighting this boy, never let him get close!”

This was also Tang Yuanmu’s first time witnessing Yun Xiao’s physical strength. Previously, when he ended up in a sorry state, he thought it was only due to the strange and terrifying Thunder Array, not the boy’s own power.

But now, Tang Yuanmu had made up his mind that if there’s ever another chance for a direct confrontation with that boy in black, he would only overpower him with the gap in Meridian Qi Cultivation. After all, he believed that no matter how strong he was, his physical strength wouldn’t surpass that of a mummified Strange Spirit.

”Good lad, this physical body is truly impressive!”

In contrast, the mummified Strange Spirit, which was blasted back three steps, now burst with unprecedented excitement, and its words revealed its attitude.

In fact, the Spiritual Wisdom cultivated from the Thunder King’s Heart had no choice but to revive this mummy as a future vessel to house its wisdom.

But now, even an ancient mummy’s physical strength couldn’t match a late-stage Qi Seeking human youth. In the Thunder King’s Heart Strange Spirit’s mind, a frenzy had arisen, the uncontrollable thought of claiming that powerful body.

Although the Strange Spirit of the Thunder King’s Heart greatly detested a certain aura from that body, it believed that once it controlled it and eliminated the original soul, it could certainly expel that annoying aura.

For these special Strange Spirits, possessing Spiritual Wisdom but no physical body, finding a powerful body to seize is extremely difficult. Previously, the Strange Spirit of the Thunder King’s Heart hadn’t considered a late-stage Qi Seeking human body worthy.

But now, after witnessing the power in Yun Xiao’s kick, the Strange Spirit of the Thunder King’s Heart was not angry but joyful, feeling that it was destiny, heaven’s will to deliver such a perfect body before it. Wouldn’t rejecting it be defying fate?

”Tsk tsk, you think too much if you want to seize my body, don’t you?”

From the Strange Spirit’s words, Yun Xiao instantly understood its intention. In his previous life in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, he had seen many Strange Spirits attempting to seize human bodies, so he was very familiar with them.

In a sense, Yun Xiao’s reincarnation was a different form of body seizing. However, after years of adaptation, he and this reborn body became increasingly in sync, inseparable from each other.

”Rest assured, I will make this body shine brilliantly on the Tenglong Continent!”

The Strange Spirit of the Thunder King’s Heart didn’t pay much attention to the human youth’s words. Even though the opponent had elevated Meridian Qi Cultivation to the Peak of Qi Seeking Realm, to it, he was just a slightly stronger ant.

”Hey, are you just going to watch?”

When the Strange Spirit of the Thunder King’s Heart erupted with a powerful aura again, Yun Xiao turned his head and called out to the two already stunned.

At this moment, Yun Xiao had no intention of taking all the burden himself. Fighting the Strange Spirit to the death here, regardless of the outcome, would only benefit others, so he needed to drag Ye Suxin and Tang Yuanmu into it.

In fact, the two were standing aside not just because they were shocked by Yun Xiao’s formidable physical strength, but also because they harbored the intent of watching tigers fight from a mountain. Yet now, being called out, they felt embarrassed and knew they couldn’t just watch anymore.

”Xing Chen, you constrain it from the front, we’ll find an opportunity for a fatal strike!”

As Ye Suxin moved, she hesitated to confront the mummy head-on. Given Xing Chen’s formidable physical strength, he should engage directly, while she would use her more adept methods.

Yun Xiao had no objection to this proposal. As long as the other two didn’t stand idly by, it was fine. At this moment, with his Qi Seeking Realm at its peak, he had full confidence to truly battle this half-baked Origin Seeking Realm Middle Stage Strange Spirit.

Generally speaking, a Strange Spirit’s combat strength surpasses that of a Vein Demon of the same level, not to mention human cultivators. If it were a regular Seventh Rank Intermediate Strange Spirit, its combat ability would surely surpass Xu Huang of the past by several levels.

Unfortunately, this Strange Spirit was quite special. Not only did it only cultivate Spiritual Wisdom, but the body it possessed was a mummy that had been dead for countless years. So although it was a Strange Spirit born from the Heaven Rank Thunder King’s Heart, its combat strength was comparable only to an ordinary human cultivator who had only just entered the Origin Seeking Realm Middle Stage.
