Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Chi Yan is a dense fire attribute Vein Demon, inherently hating water or Yin cold attributes. Now gravely injured, it fell into the sea, and Yun Xiao couldn’t tell whether it was dead or alive.

Originally, when the two Vein Demons joined forces to battle the fire attribute Heavenly Spirit, they had already fallen into an absolute disadvantage. Now with Chi Yan severely injured, leaving only Red Feather, how could it possibly hold on?

In the blink of an eye, Yun Xiao suddenly saw that half of Red Feather’s wing was torn apart by the fire attribute Heavenly Spirit, hanging limply on the bird’s back, seemingly about to fall off with a few more shakes.

Such a miserable sight made Yun Xiao’s eyes tear up with rage, with an overwhelming hostility surging from the depths of his heart, unable to be dispelled, and in a short moment, it had transformed into an intense killing intent.

Whether it was Mo Qing, Liu Hanyi, Ling Wan, or Chi Yan and Red Feather, they could all be considered Yun Xiao’s closest kin and friends since his rebirth. Only these few had always treated him sincerely, like family.

Now with three women and one man, along with two Vein Demons all gravely injured, Yun Xiao felt a pang of regret, regretting not unleashing his most powerful trump card at the first moment.

If he had done so, his companions wouldn’t have suffered such severe injuries. Yun Xiao’s heart was filled with deep unease, wondering if Ling Wan or Chi Yan had met their ends under that heavy attack.

But there’s no medicine for regret in this world. Things had come to this point, and Yun Xiao had no time to check his companions’ wounds. Because the two great Heavenly Spirits, Huo Li and Chi Jin, were in full strength and, together with Huang Chi, had surrounded him in a pincer formation.

”Human boy, I admit I underestimated you before, but no matter how strong you are, can you be an enemy against the three of us teaming up?”

Huang Chi, whose Spirit Crystal had two corners shaved off, felt very pleased with itself. It naturally saw the abnormal expression on Yun Xiao’s face, which only made it more excited.

Just now, Huang Chi suffered a loss at Yun Xiao’s hands. It wanted to see the opponent’s helplessness in the face of his companions’ severe injuries, or even his sorrowful and despairing expression, which would greatly satisfy its malicious heart.

To be honest, the current Huang Chi wasn’t confident in dealing with Yun Xiao alone, but with its two powerful allies, the situation was completely different.

Although Yun Xiao had previously displayed some extremely strange and formidable methods, in Huang Chi’s view, most were just cunning tricks.

Generally speaking, such methods can only work once. Once prepared, achieving the same effect again is obviously impossible.

Besides, Huang Chi knew well that Yun Xiao sent his companions to hold off the two great Heavenly Spirits because he was apprehensive about the three Heavenly Spirits teaming up.

And now that the human boy’s companions were all severely injured and the three great Heavenly Spirits had surrounded him, Huang Chi believed that the boy couldn’t escape the fate of being trapped.

”Huang Chi, you’re really useless. You can’t even handle a half-step Heavenly Rank human boy!”

As Huang Chi was feeling smug, Huo Li, who surrounded him, suddenly spoke mockingly, causing his aura to become slightly chaotic, seemingly exasperated by these words.

”What do you know? This boy is very peculiar, so don’t be careless. Beware of being unexpectedly defeated!”

In the face of facts, Huang Chi didn’t argue much but reminded them instead. It was really afraid Yun Xiao would pull another unexpected trick, causing unforeseen troubles.

”Huang Chi, aren’t you afraid of this human boy?”

On the other side, Chi Jin laughed loudly, making Huang Chi even more displeased. It seems that although the Strange Spirits united against humans, their internal affairs were not as harmonious as imagined.

Despite their words, the two locked their auras on the rough-clad boy in the first instant. After all, the opponent had embarrassed the Heavenly Spirit Huang Chi, indicating some abilities. They wouldn’t underestimate him too much.

”You all deserve to die!”

At this moment, Yun Xiao finally withdrew his gaze from Chi Yan and Red Feather. These words, as if echoing from the Nine Netherworld Hell, sent shivers down the spines of many human cultivators below.

”Lord Yun Xiao is truly angry!”

Many low-level practitioners were horrified after hearing this sentence, for they had never seen this young man in such a state since following Yun Xiao to conquer cities and territories.

At this moment, Yun Xiao’s face was as gloomy as if water could drip from it. Anyone could feel the calm before the volcanic eruption, and perhaps in a moment, the boy would unleash a shocking power.

”On the brink of death, yet still so arrogant!”

The three great Heavenly Spirits ignored the thoughts of human cultivators. Among them, Huo Li, with the most volatile temper, snorted coldly, transforming its entire form into a shape of flames, launching a furious attack on Yun Xiao.

Swoosh!

On the other side, the gold attribute Heavenly Spirit Chi Jin didn’t slow down either. In an instant, its body transformed into a gigantic red-gold great sword, spanning the sky, angrily slashing towards Yun Xiao.

As for the Earth Attribute Heavenly Spirit Huang Chi, who harbored deep resentment, its movements were eager to excel. Its entire form transformed into a massive earth-colored fist, the force contained within causing all human cultivators to secretly feel alarmed.

None of them expected that the Earth Attribute Heavenly Spirit Huang Chi, even after having its Spirit Crystal horns sliced off by Yun Xiao earlier, could still unleash such immense power. Truly, every Heavenly Rank Strange Spirit cannot be underestimated.

The human cultivators’ side, gazing at the methods employed by the three Heavenly Spirits in the sky, felt a wave of concern. Under the assault of these three Heavenly Spirits, can Yun Xiao still create a miracle?

Almost everyone believed that the activation of the power of the five Ancestor Veins was Yun Xiao’s ultimate tactic. However, what they did not know was that the extremely enraged Yun Xiao was about to unleash a terrifying force. The outcome would soon be revealed.

Swish!

Bang!

Boom!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the attacks of the three Heavenly Spirit experts had already struck Yun Xiao’s body, emitting three distinct and peculiar sounds.

At this moment, the thin silhouette of Yun Xiao was completely engulfed by the mighty clash of energies, rendering his figure entirely invisible.

”Could he have used an afterimage clone again?”

Upon witnessing this, many were filled with speculation, secretly contemplating that under such an assault, even if Yun Xiao’s physical strength remained intact, he might be shattered unless the three Heavenly Spirits’ attack hit someone other than Yun Xiao’s true form.

Only some Meridian Refining Masters with exceptionally strong soul power might be able to sense that at the moment of the three massive attacks, the youth’s true body remained in place, using his physical strength to withstand the powerful combined strike of the three Heavenly Spirits.

Sensing this, the human cultivators’ faces turned extremely pale, for they knew that a combined strike by the three Heavenly Spirits would force even another Heavenly Spirit to evade its edge. If one dared to endure it, the likely outcome would be annihilation of the divine soul.

”Haha, boy, let’s see where you can escape to this time?”

Realizing the attack didn’t hit this human youth’s illusion, Huang Chi couldn’t help but feel overjoyed. To it, no matter how many strange tactics Yun Xiao had, at least this strike, even if it didn’t kill him, would likely peel his skin.

”Is that so?”

However, just as Huang Chi was immensely pleased, it heard a faint, emotionless voice echoing, causing its heart to suddenly tense, as if some elements were slipping from its control.

”Huang Chi, be careful!”

At that moment, Huang Chi heard another familiar voice in its ear. It recognized it as the warning from the Fire Attribute Heavenly Spirit Huo Li, but the warning came a bit too late.

At this moment, Yun Xiao’s entire body was emitting a faint golden light, even his eyes seemed to have transformed to a pale golden color.

If someone approached closely, they would notice his exposed arms and cheeks had fine cracks, appearing as if barely holding on.

Obviously, at this critical moment, coupled with the extreme anger in his heart, Yun Xiao no longer held back and directly utilized the power of the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu, leading his cultivation to significantly advance once more.

This time, Xiao Wu did not hesitate, injecting his strength into Yun Xiao’s body without delay. Despite often bickering with Chi Yan Red Feather, he had long regarded those two as life-and-death companions.

If Xiao Wu was fighting with his true form, his strength might not differ much from Chi Yan Red Feather, only at a half-step Heavenly Rank level. That’s why Yun Xiao had not let him fight earlier.

This self-proclaimed Five-Clawed Golden Dragon mutant, when merging his strength with Yun Xiao’s, unleashed a power far surpassing his own form’s combat capability.

For instance, at this moment, as Xiao Wu’s power fully flowed into Yun Xiao’s body, although it nearly caused the latter to explode, it also allowed Yun Xiao to forcibly break through to the early stage of the Heavenly Rank Floating Life Realm.

From Earth Rank to Heavenly Rank is the goal that every Earth Rank Third Realm cultivator dreams of, but unfortunately, countless years have seen many cultivators at the Peak of Earth Bending Realm or half-step Heavenly Rank trapped in this step without breakthrough for life.

Transitioning from Earth Rank to Heavenly Rank represents a significant divide in continental cultivation, requiring not only the accumulation of energy but also a comprehension of the Heavenly Dao—both indispensable.

And at this moment, as Huang Chi sensed the sudden surge in cultivation of the human youth opposite, it couldn’t help but be engulfed by a tempestuous wave within its heart, rising alongside an unknown fear and astonishment.

Huang Chi had previously witnessed Yun Xiao’s strength, even at a half-step Heavenly Rank level, he was able to twice damage its Spirit Crystal. Now, having reached a level akin to its own, what kind of formidable power would he unleash?

In the next moment, Huang Chi realized the outcome, but unfortunately, it was too late for any reaction.
