Serpent Ancestor

As time passed, a series of conflicts began to emerge within Wuyou City.

Initially, they could be suppressed through law, but as desires continued to swell, order spiraled out of control.

Once basic needs are met, people crave more; with peace comes the demand for fairness; with fairness, the desire to exploit arises.

Ten years of peace is easy, twenty years is hard, and a hundred years is but a fool’s dream.

At this moment, life in Wuyou City was like this: everyone had a wooden carriage, jade slips for real-time communication, and meals delivered to their doorsteps.

While other places couldn’t even satisfy basic peace and sustenance.

In Wuyou City, where everyone lived like immortals, an unprecedented internal strife broke out.

Cultivators led the charge, mortals rushed forward, the Discipline Hall was razed to the ground, the Pill Hall was expelled from Wuyou City, with tens of thousands dead or injured. Helplessly, the Pill Hall had to establish a new cave dwelling outside the city.

This is now known as the Blood Corpse Cave.

”Why did it come to this?”Xu Hei couldn’t understand.

To Xu Hei, peace was already a luxury, and having enough to eat and wear was a dream.

Yet the people of Wuyou City, not only satisfied with these, even far exceeded them, were still not content!

Of course, Xu Hei didn’t fully believe the contents of the stone tablet, as it was left by Gongshu Ruyi, surely carrying her subjective imagination, painting herself as a victim.

Later, Mo Wuyou took a series of measures, but they only treated the symptoms, not the root cause.

Eventually, everyone gave up, stopped competing, and just lay around, since they had no worries about food and clothing, they were even too lazy to work.

The whole city was in a state of eating and waiting to die.

”Now, it’s almost impossible for Master to reach Divine Transformation. Wuyou City has proven to be a failed creation; true worry-free living is impossible.”

”Master’s Dao heart was frustrated, his cultivation plummeted, but later, Master he...”

At this point, Xu Hei’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he continued reading.

”Master did something unknown and suddenly reached the Divine Transformation Stage.”

”The entire Divine Puppet Sect was mobilized to hunt down Master. The second, fourth, and fifth generation sect leaders joined forces to slay Master outside Wuyou City.”

Here, the text abruptly ended.

Xu Hei furrowed his brows, deep in thought. He felt that a part of the content was missing, especially the last part, which was almost summarized in two sentences.

He read it again from start to finish.

The beginning seemed reasonable, the middle was mostly omitted, and the end was glossed over.

There was no explanation for becoming a corpse puppet!

Xu Hei squinted his eyes, seriously suspecting that the stone tablet had been tampered with, causing the content to be distorted.

It likely involved some secrets that couldn’t be known, so they were blocked by a great divine ability.

Thinking of this, Xu Hei shook his head.

Why did everyone become corpse puppets?

Why was Mo Wuyou, as the third generation sect leader, hunted by the sect?

Since Wuyou City was proven a failure, how did he achieve Divine Transformation?

With so many mysteries, Xu Hei could only go to Wuyou City to find answers.

”A Divine Transformation cultivator... I never thought I could come into contact with such secrets. It would be a pity to miss such an opportunity!”

Xu Hei originally had no interest in history, but when it involved breaking through to Divine Transformation, he became curious.

If someone as strong as Mo Wuyou found it so difficult to reach Divine Transformation, ending up hunted by the sect, would Xu Hei face even greater challenges in the future?

Xu Hei took a deep breath, stored the stone tablet, and took out an ancient Essence Cultivation Pill.

He unsealed the pill, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out. Without delay, Xu Hei opened his mouth and inhaled, consuming the rapidly withering Essence Cultivation Pill.

An hour later.

Xu Hei had fully recovered to his peak state, with his cultivation increased by about twenty percent.

Next, Xu Hei attempted to open Zhou Qing’s storage bag.

As expected, it was completely unopenable, the seal on it was unimaginably strong! Even using dragon scales had no effect.

”That old bastard must have deliberately strengthened the seal before he died!”

Xu Hei’s face turned grim.

To be cautious, he decided to seek help from the Chu Tian Alliance.

Xu Hei didn’t fully trust anyone, but based on Xu Qingfeng’s previous behavior, he seemed relatively trustworthy.

Besides, Zhou Qing had already revealed his trump cards, so there shouldn’t be any unspeakable treasures in the storage bag.

Afterward, Xu Hei tried to refine the nine blood swords, but still failed.

At this point, Xu Hei had little hope left. He took out the Blood God Armor, now in the form of a blood bead, and probed it with his divine sense.

Suddenly, the blood bead floated up automatically, adhering closely to Xu Hei’s body.

”Whoosh!”

Xu Hei instinctively retreated, keeping a distance, staring at the blood bead.

”I can actually use it? Is this for real?”

Xu Hei shook his head, his eyes serious, his heart vigilant.

Zhou Qing’s magical treasure, at least third-tier top-grade, could it really be used so easily?

Xu Hei didn’t believe it, suspecting a trap.

He pondered for a moment, took out the butcher, approached the blood bead, and attached it, probing with his divine sense.

”Clang!”

The blood bead adhered to the butcher, immediately spreading out, transforming into a blood-red armor, forming on the butcher’s body surface.

During this process, blood from the butcher’s body was continuously absorbed into it, albeit at a slow pace.

Xu Hei stared at the armor for a long time, seemingly understanding, and nodded.

”So that’s how it is!”

This magical treasure wasn’t a simple one; it was a sentient item that required the owner’s blood and energy to activate automatically.

The stronger the owner’s blood and energy, the higher the armor’s strength.

Xu Hei tried attacking the armor, finding it impervious to his attacks, its strength at least reaching the Core Formation level, slightly higher than the butcher’s own cultivation.

However, the butcher’s vitality was also being continuously drained.

Xu Hei shuddered, shaking the armor off his body, where it reformed into a blood bead in mid-air, landing in his palm.

”Blood God Armor, no True Qi needed, only consumes blood and energy, perfect for those with abundant vitality,” Xu Hei mused.

If he, in his true form, wore this armor, his defense would surely be astonishing.

After checking it again to confirm, Xu Hei stored the blood bead.

Then, he took out a handful of high-grade spirit stones from the storage ring, swallowing them, allowing the true dragon on the Demon God Cauldron to absorb them.

One, two, three... eight.

”Buzz!”

An idea surged into Xu Hei’s mind.

That familiar and profound voice echoed once more, the voice of the true dragon.

”Dragon Shatter Roar, a mid-grade dragon clan supreme technique, a sonic spell...”

”The dragon clan must not only conquer with virtue but also with reason! When reasoning, use Dragon Shatter Roar to ensure the other party listens obediently.”

”This technique consists of seven levels, each a realm of its own, divided into shattering stone, shattering soul, shattering star, shattering void, shattering the firmament, shattering sun and moon, shattering the great Dao.”

”......”

Countless pieces of information, like a roaring sea, flooded into Xu Hei’s mind.

Compared to the Ever-changing Fish and Dragon, the information of Dragon Shatter Roar was even more vast, though it had only seven levels, it was ten times more complex.
