Serpent Ancestor

The Seven Divine Statues.

As the leader of the gods, the Water God is the primary deity for eighty percent of the Merman Clan, while the Death God ranks third, holding significant influence.

At this moment, the divine aura on the Ouroboros statue, symbolizing the Death God, rapidly faded, revealing countless web-like cracks, accompanied by continuous cracking sounds.

”Whoosh!”

Ancestor Yellow Spring, guarding the Hall of Gods, swiftly appeared before the statue.

He stared at the cracked Death God statue, his pupils contracting, his old face stiffening, mouth agape, as if he’d seen a ghost.

”Boom!”

With a loud crash, the statue completely collapsed, turning into fragments.

The Seven Divine Statues were reduced to six in an instant.

Ancestor Yellow Spring stood frozen in place for over ten breaths. Only when the distant Elemental Infant ancestors arrived, alarmed by the commotion, did he snap back to reality.”Ancestor Yellow Spring, what is...”

The Elemental Infant ancestors stared at the shattered statue, each displaying a complex expression.

”This is bad, the Death God... has been taken down by an intruder,” Ancestor Yellow Spring murmured to himself.

...

Divine Continent Star, far north.

Recently, the main forces of Divine Continent Star engaged in their first direct confrontation with the Sea Star Demon Clan.

The far north was the quickest sea region the Sea Star Demon Clan planned to invade, intending to use it as a base to gradually occupy the northern continent.

However, this time, they faced fierce resistance from Divine Continent Star.

Not only did the Divine Transformation stage cultivators of the Divine Puppet Sect all appear, but even a white bear old demon, also in the Divine Transformation stage, was alarmed.

High above the vast ice field, six Divine Transformation stage cultivators battled, three on each side, locked in a stalemate.

Below the battlefield were thousands of Elemental Infant stage combatants.

As for the top-tier forces on both sides, Daoist Sparrow, Ancestor Bai Ye, Gong Jiang, Luo Gang, and a few other Divine Transformation cultivators stood at the rear, commanding the overall situation, observing the changes.

Now was not the time for a decisive battle.

They all feared the other side’s trump cards, knowing that if they committed fully, they would cut off their retreat. Initially, they focused on probing, sending out three Divine Transformation stage cultivators to understand the opponent’s strength, preparing to counter in the future.

At this moment, above the battlefield.

Qin Xuanji’s opponent was a fish demon with three eyes on its face, wielding six tridents, with the Death God’s deity, the Ouroboros, above its brow.

The divine ability it wielded was called the Eye of Death. As long as the third eye glanced at an opponent, it would cause them to die silently.

Qin Xuanji used countless puppet nesting dolls to prevent the opponent from finding his true body, managing to fight to a draw. Otherwise, a single glance from the Eye of Death would cost him half his life.

”This is the power granted to me by the Death God when I broke through to the Divine Transformation stage. In your Divine Continent people’s words, it can be called the Law of Death,” the three-eyed fish demon sneered.

Qin Xuanji’s fingers moved rapidly, launching golden beans that exploded in the air, transforming into golden figures that surrounded the three-eyed fish demon.

”Die!”

The three-eyed fish demon’s voice boomed like thunder, and the word ”death” appeared on the foreheads of the golden figures, their vitality rapidly fading.

But at that moment, the Death God deity above the three-eyed fish demon’s brow suddenly faded.

Simultaneously, the law power within it also rapidly disappeared.

”What?” The three-eyed fish demon’s expression changed, hurriedly teleporting backward.

Although Qin Xuanji had been on the defensive, his ability to seize opportunities was exceptional. With a flick of his finger, the golden figures exploded, countless threads shooting out, slicing the space into countless small cubes.

”Slash!”

During the teleportation, the three-eyed fish demon collided with a mass of threads, its physical body sliced into countless pieces, blood spraying everywhere. In the next second, Qin Xuanji teleported in front of it, golden flames surging from his palm, his trump card, the Golden Star Sacred Fire!

”Ahhh!!!”

A piercing scream erupted from the three-eyed fish demon’s mouth, its primordial spirit burning, the fire specifically restraining primordial spirits!

”Not good!”

Gong Jiang’s expression changed dramatically, rushing to assist.

”Too slow!”

Daoist Sparrow had been watching this unfold, and together with Ancestor Bai Ye, intercepted, launching a full-scale bombardment on the area where the three-eyed fish demon was located.

”Boom boom boom...”

In an instant, the three-eyed fish demon’s body vanished.

When Gong Jiang returned to the base, he held only a phantom light cluster of the primordial spirit, the last remnant of the three-eyed fish demon’s primordial spirit, retaining less than ten percent of its divine sense.

This was almost equivalent to death!

A Divine Transformation stage cultivator had fallen directly.

”What happened?” Gong Jiang shouted angrily.

He couldn’t understand how the three-eyed fish demon, while fighting Qin Xuanji, suddenly lost its law power, and the Death God deity disappeared.

Moreover, Luo Gang hadn’t joined him in assisting, otherwise, they wouldn’t have lost a member so easily.

A Divine Transformation stage cultivator was a crucial piece in determining victory, and this was a heavy blow!

”Gong Jiang, look below,” Luo Gang pointed downward.

Gong Jiang’s divine sense swept over, his expression changing dramatically.

Below was the battlefield of Elemental Infant cultivators, and at this moment, some Elemental Infant stage demonic beasts were experiencing a one-sided defeat, as if they had lost all their divine abilities.

These defeated demonic beasts had one thing in common—they were all followers of the Death God!

”Something major has happened!” Gong Jiang said gravely.

Daoist Sparrow seemed to have thought of something, a cold smile appearing on his face.

...

Sea Star.

Xu Hei, accompanied by Yu Shiyu, flew northward, arriving at the northern snowfield.

This was the human land Yu Shiyu had mentioned.

On Sea Star, ninety-five percent was ocean, with the remaining land mostly concentrated in the north. Xu Hei, traveling at full speed, took half a day to reach a small continent.

”There are no countries here; it’s mainly sects, tribes, and city-states.”

”The largest city-state here is called Yage City, where you can choose to heal.”

As they walked, Yu Shiyu introduced the local customs and culture.

This was where extraterrestrial immigrants settled 350,000 years ago during the Seven Stars Alignment, mostly cultivators from Divine Continent Star, who settled and multiplied here.

”Originally, these humans were to be executed, but considering their potential value and the land being the Earth God’s territory, the Sea Star Demon Clan feared offending the deities and didn’t destroy this place,” Yu Shiyu explained.

”Earth God...”

Information about the Earth God flashed through Xu Hei’s mind.

Of the seven gods on Sea Star, six remained: Water God, Thunder God, Earth God, Sky God, Desire God, and Ice God.

The strength of these deities was unknown, but in terms of the number of followers, the Earth God was undoubtedly at the bottom, as almost no demon clan cultivated the Earth God’s system.

Instead, these extraterrestrial immigrants began to feign belief in the Earth God to gain power.
