Serpent Ancestor

”Boom!!!”

In an instant, the mountains crumbled and the earth shook violently.

At this moment, the forest seemed to collapse like the sky was falling. An unprecedented earthquake erupted, trees toppled, the ground disintegrated, rocks flew wildly, and countless beasts fled in panic. The tremors spread for miles.

”What is this...”

He Luohua’s face changed drastically, as if she had seen a ghost, staring at the sudden changes in the earth and mountains below.

Looking at the scene that resembled the end of the world, a terrifying thought arose in her mind.

”Could this be... the Mountain Severing Abyss?”

As the fifth-generation sect master, she naturally had heard of the most powerful Earth Element Spell stored in the Purple Mist Pavilion, the Mountain Severing Abyss.

It was said that this spell was exchanged at a great cost by the first-generation sect master from the Mountain-moving Patriarch hundreds of years ago, and it was only a simplified version.

It had been stored in the Purple Mist Pavilion for countless years, and almost no one had successfully cultivated it. Even among the successive sect masters, few had comprehended it.And the price of the Mountain Severing Abyss had dropped from the initial one million contribution points to just three hundred thousand, yet still, no one had mastered it.

He Luohua thought of that giant snake puppet.

As soon as it entered the Purple Mist Pavilion, it eagerly read that jade slip. Could it be that it mastered it in that instant?

”Retreat first!”

Whether it was a bluff or real, He Luohua made a decisive decision and quickly retreated.

”Boom!!”

A giant mountain suddenly rose from the ground. This mountain, towering five hundred feet high, blocked out the sky and the sun, standing like a giant pillar behind He Luohua, cutting off her retreat.

But it wasn’t over yet. Another mountain shot up into the sky, blocking another direction for He Luohua.

”Boom boom boom...”

One mountain after another began to move crazily, as if they were alive, quickly shifting among the mountains, forming a continuous chain that sealed off all directions for He Luohua.

Moving mountains, moving mountains, moving a mountain with a single thought, this was beyond human capability!

Among the Core Formation Stage cultivators, only the Mountain-moving Patriarch could easily achieve this!

Xu Hei’s eyes were already bleeding, and Hei Huang was also giving it his all.

Countless mountains connected into a single mass, pressing down on He Luohua, resembling the end of the world.

”You’ve forced me to this extent! So be it!”

He Luohua’s eyes flashed like lightning. She took out a talisman and placed it on her forehead.

”Teleport!”

The space around her subtly twisted, and in the next second, He Luohua vanished from her original spot. When she reappeared, she had already escaped the encirclement of the mountains and was outside the mountain range.

”Small Teleportation Talisman!” Hei Huang exclaimed.

The Small Teleportation Talisman, similar to the Minor Teleportation Formation, was an instant-cast, highly valuable item that required rare Void Stones to craft. It could perform a teleportation ability that only Elemental Infant cultivators could use.

This was definitely one of He Luohua’s trump cards.

He Luohua’s face showed a pained expression. This was a relic given by her Dao companion years ago, and now she had to use it.

But before she could even take a breath, she was horrified.

In front of her, the mountains had unknowingly formed a curve.

All the mountains connected together, resembling a giant snake coiling in the forest, with the head of the snake being the foremost peak, facing her directly.

”Is this really the Mountain Severing Abyss?”

He Luohua suddenly felt that the move in front of her was somewhat different from the records.

”Old bastard, today is your death day, die!”

Xu Hei, using his last breath, let out a low shout. Endless pain spread from his divine sense throughout his body, and he fell unconscious. The Mountain-moving Patriarch’s Golden Core also exhausted its last bit of energy.

In the next second, the giant snake formed by the mountain range let out a hiss and, with overwhelming pressure, charged towards He Luohua.

At this moment, He Luohua felt an imminent sense of death.

Unstoppable, unstoppable!

”How is this possible!”

He Luohua screamed, taking out all her magical treasures and throwing them forward while retreating rapidly.

The mountain snake charged forward, its massive body and tail stretching for miles, like a sky-swallowing serpent, carrying immense pressure, crashing into the radiance formed by countless magical treasures.

”Boom boom boom...”

With a series of explosive sounds, many Core Formation Stage magical treasures were shattered upon impact. The head of the mountain snake disintegrated into nothingness, but the rest of its body continued to surge forward.

The head was gone, the neck was gone, the body was gone. The thousand-foot-long mountain snake shattered halfway, turning into countless flying rocks, raining down like a storm.

The remaining part still charged forward, hitting He Luohua as she tried to escape.

”Ugh!!!”

With a violent explosion, He Luohua spat out blood. A copper mirror inside her body shattered into pieces, but she was thrown forward as if hit by a heavy object, her speed increasing a thousandfold, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

”Boom boom boom...”

The mountain snake finally lost its power and fell to the ground, forming a snake-shaped mountain range.

The Mountain-moving Patriarch also exhausted his Golden Core and sat weakly on the ground.

Hei Huang let out a long breath, his body feeling weak. Even with his spirit, he almost fainted.

”This move must be Xu Hei’s creation, it’s ridiculous! Let’s go, let’s go!”

Hei Huang was about to carry Xu Hei away when he saw Xu Hei’s eyes still open.

His consciousness had long been unconscious, but his eyes were still wide open, still transmitting divine thoughts, like talking in his sleep.

”She’s not dead yet, go, go finish her off...”

Xu Hei’s consciousness was gone, but his instincts were still speaking.

”Finish off my ass! Be careful or someone will finish you off.”

Hei Huang cursed, carrying Xu Hei on his back.

Xu Hei’s body automatically manifested a layer of earth-brown armor, the thick earth armor, and the jade pendant inside him emitted a faint protective light.

”This...” Hei Huang was speechless.

Even unconscious, he could still automatically defend himself. How many backup plans did he have?

”Don’t worry, I’m not going to eat you, no need to be afraid.”

Hei Huang sighed helplessly, putting the Mountain-moving Patriarch’s corpse into a storage bag, and collecting the three fallen flying swords on the ground. These were Core Formation Stage magical treasures, which might be exchanged for high-grade spirit stones.

Earlier, these three flying swords had been stuck by the Earth Shield, making them quite a valuable haul.

In the distance, at the edge of the forest, black dots appeared. It seemed that people from miles away had heard the commotion and were coming to investigate.

”Just wait, I’ll get back at you sooner or later!”

Hei Huang didn’t hesitate any longer. His eyes turned cold, he activated the Invisibility Talisman, and his figure disappeared.

...

Outside the Purple Mist Sect.

An old woman, covered in blood, her clothes tattered and hair disheveled, flew in from the horizon.

She staggered while flying, her figure unsteady, and fell from the sky.

”Patriarch!”

Sect Master Shen Qingzhu exclaimed, rushing forward immediately. The elders behind her also hurriedly moved up to catch He Luohua.

He Luohua broke free, speaking urgently, ”That demon is near death. Everyone, listen to my command, search the mountains immediately, dig three feet deep if you have to, but capture that old demon!”

He Luohua waved her hand, drawing portraits of Xu Hei and Hei Huang, then spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed, surrounded by a chorus of urgent cries.
