Serpent Ancestor

Regarding the Earth God, Yu Shiyu didn’t know much either and couldn’t extract much useful information. She only knew that the Earth God was beneath this land.

Before long, the two arrived at the largest city, Yage City.

The architectural style of this city still retained the appearance of the Divine Continent Star. Outside, it was freezing cold, but inside the city, there was a ground heating formation, making it feel like spring all year round.

Looking out, it seemed like a steaming giant beast crouching in the ice fields.

Before entering the city, Xu Hei disguised himself as an ordinary passerby, and Yu Shiyu was also dressed up by him, wearing a mask.

Both concealed their cultivation, paid the spirit stones, and walked through the city gates.

”Causing such a commotion will definitely lead to a worldwide search. I must not act rashly until my injuries are healed,” Xu Hei thought to himself.

The strongest in Yage City was only at the Great Perfection of the Elemental Infant stage, whom Xu Hei could easily suppress. But he didn’t want anyone to know that a Divine Transformation cultivator had appeared out of nowhere here.

Spending some spirit stones, Xu Hei rented a courtyard and settled down temporarily.

He took out a spirit medicine for soul restoration, a fifth-grade Soul Returning Grass, and consumed a handful, slowly recuperating.Damage to the primordial spirit was the most severe injury at the Divine Transformation stage.

Yu Shiyu didn’t go anywhere either and was healing beside him. Her injuries were even more severe than Xu Hei’s, having been at death’s door. However, all her belongings had been taken by Xu Hei, leaving her without any pills to consume.

…………

While Xu Hei was in seclusion healing, the outside world had already turned upside down!

The entire Sea Star was in turmoil.

The Death God Deity shattered, leaving its inheritors without a source of power!

The divine abilities they had learned were all rendered useless, leaving them with only their cultivation and physical bodies but no means of combat, akin to primitive people.

In such a situation, if they were to face an enemy, they would surely lose against anyone of the same realm!

Even more terrifying, their future path of cultivation was severed, leaving a dark future ahead.

Although the proportion of such people wasn’t large, the collapse of faith triggered a series of chain reactions! Those who believed in other deities also began to doubt whether their deities might one day shatter, severing their path of cultivation.

This thought was extremely terrifying!

The anomaly in the Sea of the Reaper was quickly investigated, and the Sea Star’s higher-ups immediately issued the highest-level wanted order to investigate the culprit who destroyed the deity!

That is, the alien cultivator who infiltrated.

At the same time, a comprehensive search was launched for Yu Shiyu, whose soul lamp remained unextinguished after her disappearance, employing soul-tracking techniques.

Compared to the panic among the Sea Star Demon Clan.

The Divine Continent Star side was filled with the joy of a great victory.

In the first battle in the far north, they killed a Divine Transformation Ancestor from the opposing side, and the battlefield at the Elemental Infant stage was also victorious, annihilating a thousand enemies and greatly boosting morale.

The Sea Star side fled in defeat, retreating to their stronghold in the East Sea, never to show themselves again.

It was said that they had already sent back two Divine Transformation Ancestors to the Sea Star to support the local forces.

”Hahaha, Xu Hei has only been gone for less than half a year and has already achieved such a feat, truly commendable,” Daoist Sparrow laughed.

”I knew he was no ordinary person,” Night Owl also praised.

On the northern plains, many high-ranking officials gathered for a post-war meeting, all praising Xu Hei highly.

To be able to destroy even the Death God’s deity, one can imagine how astonishing an achievement that was!

Originally, some were dissatisfied with Xu Hei’s seclusion, but little did they know, he had already infiltrated the enemy’s rear.

”For this battle, Xu Hei deserves the highest merit, I am utterly convinced!” Zhao Nanqi exclaimed.

”Sect Master, how about advancing the second plan?” Night Owl suggested.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s eyes focused on him.

They all knew that the second plan was a counterattack! As long as they held the first round, without needing to reclaim lost ground, they could directly attack the Sea Star’s lair.

”Indeed, Xu Hei has caused such upheaval on the Sea Star, he will surely be hunted by them, we must go to support him!” Daoist Sparrow said.

”But we must be wary of them luring us away,” Ancestor Bai Ye cautioned.

After some discussion.

Finally, Daoist Sparrow dispatched two experts to the Sea Star via teleportation array, namely Zhao Nanqi and Qin Xuanji, two newly advanced Divine Transformation cultivators.

After the two left.

Daoist Sparrow said to Night Owl, ”Night Owl, follow them just in case.”

Night Owl understood what he meant.

Earlier, Zhao Nanqi had volunteered to fight, but everyone knew he had a conflict with Xu Hei.

”Is it necessary?” Night Owl asked.

”It is!” Daoist Sparrow stared at him, saying seriously, ”I only trust you!”

…………

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed since Xu Hei arrived in Yage City.

Xu Hei had consumed three stalks of fifth-grade Soul Returning Grass, but the effect was minimal. He had only managed to restore less than a third of his damaged primordial spirit.

At this rate, even if he consumed all the spirit medicine, it would be difficult to fully recover.

”Healing the primordial spirit is truly troublesome,” Xu Hei thought to himself.

In fact, he had another method to heal the primordial spirit, which was to devour others’ souls and refine them with the Demon God Cauldron, converting them into his own primordial spirit.

This method was something he learned from devouring and refining souls during his battle with the Death God.

Not to say how useful it was, but at least it didn’t require consuming fifth-grade spirit medicine, and the stronger the devoured souls, the better the effect.

Thinking of this, Xu Hei’s gaze involuntarily turned to Yu Shiyu, who was meditating in the courtyard.

She had been meditating here for a month, healing even more slowly, and without any pills, she could only rely on absorbing spiritual qi to maintain her vitality.

”You’re awake?”

Yu Shiyu opened her eyes and stood up from the prayer mat.

She walked over to Xu Hei, took out a purple long robe, and smiled, ”A few days ago, I went out to buy fabric to make clothes, and I made a set for you too. You should look good in this.”

She handed the purple long robe to him.

Xu Hei took the robe. It wasn’t a magical treasure, just ordinary mortal clothing, but it was exquisitely made and had a certain toughness after being refined with spiritual power.

Xu Hei didn’t put it on, instead taking out the Demon God Cauldron, enlarging it to the size of a vat, and calmly said, ”Get in.”

Yu Shiyu looked puzzled, but she obediently jumped into the Demon God Cauldron, furrowing her brows in confusion, ”What are you going to do?”

”Relax, close your eyes, don’t resist,” Xu Hei thought for a moment, feeling his intention was too obvious, so he added, ”I have a surprise for you.”

”A surprise? What is it?”

Yu Shiyu’s beautiful eyes lit up, her face filled with joy, and she quickly closed her eyes. At the same time, her body relaxed, retracting her divine sense, and the spiritual power on her body dissipated, leaving her in a completely unresisting state.

In such a state, as long as Xu Hei willed it, he could instantly refine half of her, and by the time she resisted, it would be too late. Even a Divine Transformation stage cultivator would have no way out.

Xu Hei quietly watched her, his face expressionless.

”Is it done yet? How much longer do I have to wait?”

Yu Shiyu, eyes closed, still wore a smile, her smooth face full of curiosity and anticipation.
