Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Whoosh!

Yun Xiao’s speed was incredibly fast. Moments later, he was hovering in the air above the head of the Alien Spirit Leader, gradually descending.

Seeing a human cultivator daring to venture into their territory, those low-rank strange spirits, with not much spiritual wisdom, didn’t wait for their leader’s command before angrily charging at him.

Crack, crack, crack!

Yun Xiao didn’t pay the slightest attention to these low-level spirits. With a slight wave of his left hand, the errant spirits charging at him instantly turned into exquisitely crafted ice sculptures, vivid and transparent.

”Since you know I’ve come for you, don’t let these guys die in vain!”

Yun Xiao, with a blank expression, stared at the Alien Spirit Leader surrounded by several ninth-rank spirits. He believed that his words would be understood.

Spirits that reached the ninth rank, though unable to speak human language, had spiritual wisdom not much different from human cultivators. Thus, upon hearing Yun Xiao’s words, a unique aura emerged from the Alien Spirit Leader, and no more spirits attacked Yun Xiao.

Whoosh!

However, in the next moment, the low-rank spirits remained motionless, but one of the low-level ninth-rank spirits in front of the Alien Spirit Leader pounced towards Yun Xiao with great momentum.

The true cultivation of Yun Xiao was not sensed by these ninth-rank spirits, so they were fearless. If their subordinates could kill this young human, it would save the Alien Spirit Leader some effort.

Boom!

Unfortunately, as the ninth-rank low-level spirit approached within a few feet of Yun Xiao, it was incinerated into ashes by a coat of blood-red flames, leaving only a bright and radiant spirit crystal emanating a wood attribute aura.

It was evident that the spirit that attacked first was a wood attribute spirit. With such a disparity in power, how could it withstand the burning of Yun Xiao’s Ancestral Vein Fire?

”Wah ya ya!”

Upon seeing a ninth-rank low-level spirit unable to withstand even a single move from the young human before being incinerated into ashes without even getting close, the Alien Spirit Leader expressed a sliver of anger, uttering a hoarse, unpleasant sound that seemed like a signal or command.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

In response to the sound the Alien Spirit Leader made, five spirits leapt out, consisting of three ninth-rank low-level spirits and two ninth-rank intermediate spirits.

It seems the Alien Spirit Leader realized Yun Xiao’s extraordinary nature, which far exceeded that of typical human cultivators, attempting to employ a strategy of many against one.

With two ninth-rank intermediate spirits and three ninth-rank low-level spirits, even a powerful human of the Late Stage Earth Bending Realm like Liao Qiguang would find it hard to cope, managing only to escape at best.

But Yun Xiao was not comparable to a mere Late Stage Earth Bending Realm cultivator like Liao Qiguang. Seeing these spirits so arrogantly overestimating themselves, he decided to kill them all, providing the human side a greater opportunity for counterattack.

Crack, crack!

Boom!

Yun Xiao moved both hands simultaneously. Three of the ninth-rank low-level spirits were easily dispatched; two were turned into ice sculptures, and one was incinerated into ashes, their fate no different from those low-level spirits.

Meanwhile, the attacks of the two ninth-rank intermediate spirits were already upon him, arriving simultaneously from the left and right with a mysterious coordination. An average Late Stage Earth Bending Realm cultivator would find themselves in trouble.

But who was Yun Xiao? He was a demon at the peak of the Earth Bending Realm, capable of taking on even some half-step Heavenly Rank experts. Spirits that underestimated him were destined for tragic ends.

Yun Xiao deftly shifted his body, narrowly dodging the spirit’s attack from the right. He extended his left leg, kicking the spirit in front of him.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

This time, Yun Xiao didn’t unleash his mighty power, but instead activated the Wood Attribute Ancestor Vein Power in his left leg, having sensed that this was an Earth Attribute spirit, best known for its physical strength.

The phrase ”Wood overcomes Earth” comes to mind. Engaging in a direct power clash with an Earth Attribute spirit is undoubtedly unwise. Even though Yun Xiao would not be at a disadvantage, given a better method, why would he dismiss it?

Blue beams emerged from where Yun Xiao’s kick landed on the spirit, softly wrapping around the Earth Attribute spirit with a potent wood attribute power, encapsulating it in an instant.

Crash!

Under Yun Xiao’s control, the binding power of the wood attribute beams burst forth, directly constraining and shattering the ninth-rank intermediate Earth Attribute spirit.

Quick-eyed and nimble, Yun Xiao swiftly grabbed the Earth Attribute spirit crystal. With this move, the ninth-rank intermediate spirit had no chance to reform its body.

Bang!

At the same time, another Alien Spirit’s attack finally crashed down, and at that moment, where Yun Xiao was struck, a yellow lotus flower emerged suddenly—the Earth Burst Stone Lotus Armor.

As Yun Xiao’s strength increased, the defensive power of the Earth Burst Stone Lotus Armor grew by the day. With his current power, how could a mere Ninth Rank Intermediate Alien Spirit harm him in the slightest?

Moreover, Yun Xiao purposely avoided the attack from that Earth Attribute Alien Spirit, dodging the strong and attacking the weak, allowing the Wind Attribute Alien Spirit to strike him—a blow that felt no more than a scratch.

The Alien Spirit was feeling smug after hitting the opponent, but in the next moment, its head was smashed with a palm strike. It couldn’t even touch Yun Xiao’s clothes before its Spirit Crystal was taken—it was utterly dead.

The most important energy source for Alien Spirits is their Spirit Crystal. If a Spirit Crystal remains, even if their body is shattered to pieces, they can reassemble. The only way to prevent this is to take control of the Spirit Crystal the moment they are struck down.

Yun Xiao was undoubtedly very familiar with Alien Spirits, so whenever he attacked, an Alien Spirit would fall. In mere moments, five Ninth Rank Alien Spirits perished, his efficiency making jaws drop.

”Wow!”

The extraordinary strength of this young human exceeded the Alien Spirit Leader’s expectations. Hearing the strange sounds it made, the remaining seven Ninth Rank Intermediate Alien Spirits attacked together—this was the strongest force around the Alien Spirit Leader.

”Like clay chickens and pottery dogs!”

Seeing this, a sneer appeared on Yun Xiao’s face. To end the battle quickly, he raised his hand and drew the Dragon Taming Sword angled across his back.

With the sword in hand, Yun Xiao’s boldness expanded significantly. A black gleam flashed, and an Alien Spirit’s head flew off, with Yun Xiao swiftly extracting the Spirit Crystal.

First one! Second one! Third one!

The power of the Dragon Taming Sword was beyond these Ninth Rank Intermediate Alien Spirits’ imagination. Black flashes wreaked havoc, and Alien Spirits were decapitated continuously. Every time, Yun Xiao would promptly seize their Spirit Crystals, leaving them no chance to reform.

Just three strikes resulted in the death of three Ninth Rank Intermediate Alien Spirits, and Yun Xiao seemed completely at ease. This made the aura around the Alien Spirit Leader surge, as it appeared to have never seen such terrifying human cultivators before.

At this moment, the Alien Spirit Leader finally sensed the true prowess of this young human amidst Yun Xiao’s uninterrupted combat, and his peak Earth Bending Realm strength was enough to warrant great attention.

Swish!

Another black flash passed by, and when Yun Xiao killed yet another Ninth Rank Intermediate Alien Spirit, he suddenly felt a force coming from an angle. Unlike any Ninth Rank Intermediate Alien Spirit before, making his eyes narrow.

”Finally can’t hold back?”

Yun Xiao instantly guessed that the Ninth Rank Advanced Alien Spirit Leader had made its move. He had always waited for this opportunity, so he deftly turned the Dragon Taming Sword, making a calculated gamble, intending to decide the fight with one strike as the Alien Spirit Leader sneaked an attack.

Yet Yun Xiao ultimately underestimated the Alien Spirit Leader’s acumen. Once it sensed he was at the peak of the Earth Bending Realm of strength, it no longer underestimated this human youth.

Alien Spirits are different from humans; their thoughts are simple. Facing an opponent of equal strength, they fight with everything they have—like a lion against a rabbit, giving its all. Moreover, the opponent’s strength seemingly didn’t fall far short of its own.

The next moment, Yun Xiao did not feel the Dragon Taming Sword cut into the Alien Spirit’s body. Instead, his heart stirred sharply, as the Alien Spirit Leader that evaded his sword had already made another move.

Swish swish swish!

The Alien Spirit’s hands and feet suddenly underwent immense change. Instantly, they transformed into a towering tree, and the branches and leaves extended towards Yun Xiao, manifesting a special attack method of the Alien Spirit Leader.

Wood Attribute Alien Spirit!

Clearly, this was a Wood Attribute Alien Spirit cultivated from a giant tree. It now revealed its true form, almost blotting out the entire sky in this area, with a canopy like clouds, obscuring the sun.

Yet at this moment, Yun Xiao had no mind to admire the true form of the Alien Spirit Leader. He only knew he mustn’t be constrained by those branches, for with even his Physical Strength, breaking free immediately could be challenging.

Swish swash!

Yun Xiao swung the Dragon Taming Sword, cutting down several attacking branches. But soon, more branches reached out to him, sparking a flame of anger within.

Yun Xiao sheathed the Dragon Taming Sword onto his back, and suddenly extended his left hand. A flash of blood-red flames appeared. As this Blood-red Flame emerged, even the Alien Spirit Leader’s true form seemed to tremble slightly, as if sensing something terrifying.

Almost in an instant, the previously extending branches withdrew, but what awaited them was only a cold smile from Yun Xiao.

”Since you’re a tree spirit Alien Spirit, then taste my Chaos Seed Fire!”

A light chuckle came from Yun Xiao’s mouth, and then the Ancestor Vein Fire, enhanced by the Chaos Seed Fire, lightly touched a branch of the Alien Spirit Leader’s true form that hadn’t fully retracted. In an instant, it blazed into an inferno.
