Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”This alien spirit can actually perform Meridian Techniques?”

Seeing this scene, Yun Xiao’s expression involuntarily froze. Although in his past life, during the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud period, he had seen those Holy Spirit-level alien spirits perform Meridian Techniques, he hadn’t expected to see it on the Tenglong Continent.

The cultivation methods of alien spirits are very different from humans, and most alien spirits don’t even have meridians. How can they utilize Meridian Qi to perform Meridian Techniques?

However, upon seeing the appearance of this alien spirit in front of him, Yun Xiao understood. The Meridian Techniques performed by this creature were certainly activated by the meridians of the body it seized, and the giant water sphere seemed different from ordinary Meridian Techniques.

At this moment, Yun Xiao already had some guesses. These alien spirits, resembling ever-changing streams of water, must have emerged from the special derivatives within Xuanyin Cave.

Moreover, the ”king” currently receiving Blood Qi Power is probably the mother of these alien spirits, and the alien spirit leader before him should be an outstanding one among these offspring, perhaps even the spokesperson for the ”king.”

A Water Attribute alien spirit performing this water sphere attack is not entirely unexpected. Thus, Yun Xiao now regards this alien spirit as a formidable being at the Early Stage of the Earth Bending Realm, fully alert.

”Five Elements Ancestral Pulse, activate!”

Seeing the water sphere in front of the alien spirit becoming more rounded and about to form, Yun Xiao did not hesitate to activate his Five Elements Ancestral Pulse Power.

Hoo... hoo... hoo...

The air in the seventh layer of Xuanyin Cave seemed to be drawn by something at this moment, surging around Yun Xiao, attracting many human talents who were battling the alien spirits.

When people like Su Jian and Gu Changsheng sensed that this rough-clothed youth had broken through to the Peak of the Seeking Origin Realm in an instant, they were shocked.

”Is this... a breakthrough under pressure?”

Some talents, with somewhat unclear sensing, immediately thought of this possibility, silently wondering how this guy’s luck could be so good to break through under such circumstances?

”No... not a breakthrough, it should be... Ancestral Pulse Power!”

Su Jian, being a talent of Douling Commerce, although suffering severe internal injuries, has a sensing ability sharper than ordinary talents. He immediately realized that it wasn’t a real breakthrough but the activation of Ancestral Pulse Power.

However, this realization not only failed to brighten the mood of Su Jian, Gu Changsheng, and others but instead brought about a profound fear.

Because both Su Jian and Gu Changsheng thought of a possibility: If Yun Xiao had activated this Ancestral Pulse Power during the battle with them earlier, boosting his Meridian Qi Cultivation to the Peak of the Seeking Origin Realm, they might not have survived until now.

Rising with fear, Su Jian and Gu Changsheng felt a bit stifled, realizing that this guy hadn’t given it his all during the battle with them. What blatant disdain this is!

At the moment, their emotions are conflicting; fortunate that Yun Xiao had not activated the Ancestral Pulse Power earlier, yet frustrated that he looked down on them without giving it his all. Human brains are indeed strange things sometimes.

However, Su Jian and Gu Changsheng didn’t have much time to think at length, as they were both severely injured. Even if they hadn’t lost their combat ability, a single careless mistake could lead to death at the hands of alien spirits.

At this point, Yun Xiao, who had activated the Five Elements Ancestral Pulse Power, felt his internal Meridian Qi surge wildly, appreciating the Meridian Qi Cultivation that had grown several times more majestic than before.

Clearly, Yun Xiao understands that if he only remained at the Late Stage of the Seeking Origin Realm, he would likely be no match for the ninth-order low-level alien spirits, but now, the situation is somewhat different.

If it were just a cultivator at the peak of the Seeking Origin Realm, that alien spirit could likely eliminate them in a flick of a finger, but an individual as talented as Yun Xiao, engaging in cross-tier battle, might not be an impossible event.

Whiz whiz whiz whiz whiz!

After activating the Ancestral Pulse Power, Yun Xiao didn’t hesitate but immediately took action, as he saw the alien spirit leader had already pushed the water sphere forward. Although it wasn’t fast, he believed that if struck, he could well be heavily injured if not killed.

In a line of five differently colored light points rapidly formed in front of Yun Xiao, each of these light points contained different attributes, embodying the Five Elements of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

While the Five Elements Light Points rotated slowly, individual beams of differently colored light emerged from them, ultimately converging at the center of the circle formed by the Five Elements Light Points.

”Five Elements Light, swift!”

A low shout emanated from Yun Xiao’s mouth, promptly drawing the peripheral gaze of many to the five-colored beam of light that shot from the center circle of the Five Elements Light Points, aiming directly at the enormous water sphere flying towards Yun Xiao.

In terms of size alone, the five-colored beam Yun Xiao performed seemed minuscule compared to the enormous water sphere, making them incomparable. However, the power to be unleashed in the next moment was intensely astonishing.

Thunk!

The sound akin to a pebble dropping into water was heard. It turns out, the five-colored beam directly penetrated the giant water sphere, and then the entire water sphere seemed to boil as if set ablaze.

”Hmph, I don’t believe it. An ant that only relied on Ancestor Vein Power to rise to the Peak of Seeking Origin Realm will be a match for my ’Water Light Spirit Pearl’?”

Feeling his water sphere on the verge of shattering, the Alien Spirit Leader emitted a cold snort. He then waved his hands repeatedly, causing the surrounding lake water to stir at that moment.

Splish! Splash!

As the water waves echoed, many human cultivators who noticed the scene were horrified to see the lake water being pulled as though by invisible giant hands, all splashed onto the boiling water sphere.

”Water Power!”

Upon observing, Yun Xiao’s heart understood. It seemed these Alien Spirits indeed originated from the lake water, achieving mastery in controlling this Water Power. Clearly, the opponent was using the Water Power to enhance the stability and strength of the Meridian Techniques water sphere.

With the addition of this Water Power, the boiling of the Meridian Qi water sphere finally ceased. Yet, the Alien Spirit Leader failed to see that flash of disdain in Yun Xiao’s eyes.

”In my Five Elements Light Beam, it’s not just Fire Attribute Power, but also the other four types of power!”

Yun Xiao’s heart sneered coldly. Indeed, the previous boiling of the water sphere was caused by channeling the Five Elements Light Beam’s Fire Attribute Power, intending to evaporate the water sphere completely. If a simpler solution was possible, he wouldn’t complicate things.

However, water and fire mutually create and counteract each other. Since the fire attribute power under the bolster of water power proved ineffective, Yun Xiao naturally needed to search for another method.

Bang!

As Yun Xiao changed seals with his hands, from the huge water sphere emanated a powerful energy fluctuation, causing the anciently unchanging face of the Alien Spirit Leader to twitch slightly at that moment.

”Ice Power, Ice Freeze!”

A deep voice echoed from Yun Xiao’s mouth. Then, the Five Elements Light Beam, shooting into the water sphere, quietly shifted. The Fire Attribute Power was restrained, brilliantly transforming into the opposite Ice Attribute Power.

With Yun Xiao’s techniques, he could naturally wield pure Fire Attribute and Ice Attribute powers, but not with such freedom and variability under the Five Elements Light Beam at present.

Firstly, once the opponent is on guard, it becomes extremely difficult to be effective again. Secondly, transformations require time, during which the opponent could very well find other means of coping.

Now, within the Five Elements Light Beam Yun Xiao wielded, containing concentrated elements of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, it could swiftly transform upon entering the water sphere, making it too fast for the Alien Spirit Leader to counter.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

A series of freezing sounds followed. In mere breaths, the huge water sphere was directly turned into a large ice ball, falling powerlessly from the air.

Splish!

Without support, the ice ball shattered upon hitting the ground, ice shards scattering, causing the Alien Spirit Leader’s slightly uncontrollable aura to verge on extreme fury.

Whoosh!

However, at this moment, amidst the shattered ice, a five-colored light beam suddenly shot forth, targeting the vital point of the Alien Spirit Leader’s chest.

While saying that the most crucial element for Alien Spirits remains their Spirit Crystals, for these body-seizing Alien Spirits, once their heart is destroyed, they become like ordinary Alien Spirits, without a basis, and cannot speak under the Heavenly Spirit Level.

This five-colored light beam amid the shattered ice moved swiftly, almost in the blink of an eye, less than half a foot away from the Alien Spirit Leader’s chest. Whether this body could be preserved was decided instantly.

It must be noted that the Ninth Rank low-level Alien Spirit also reacts quickly. At this critical juncture, the Alien Spirit Leader abruptly shifted his entire body horizontally to the right by about a foot.

Just like Yun Xiao performing the Zombie Body Technique, he forcibly avoided the impending heart-most strike of the Five Elements Light Beam.

Screech!

Despite the foot-long lateral shift allowing the Alien Spirit Leader to avoid the heart vital point, it ultimately could not evade the piercing strike of the Five Elements Light Beam.

With a soft sound, the Five Elements Light Beam pierced through the Alien Spirit Leader’s left shoulder and then exited from the back shoulder.

A small hole swiftly formed; even though it lacked a blood-splattering outcome, it clearly indicated that the Alien Spirit Leader had taken a significant loss in this confrontation.

Some human talents witnessing this scene couldn’t help but feel deeply emotional, thinking to themselves how they had originally esteemed that plain-clothed youth Yun Xiao highly. Yet, they did not expect his present performance to be even more formidable than their imaginations.
