Serpent Ancestor

Xu Hei had acquired the divine ability of the Earth God, but before he could even begin to cultivate it, he was thrust into battle, unable to wield it skillfully.

Thus, Xu Hei decisively devised a plan: first, he would feign defeat, retreat into the earth, and lure his enemies deeper.

Now, with the surface flooded, only within the earth could Xu Hei unleash his full potential.

Sure enough, the two fell for it, diving straight into the seabed, pursuing Xu Hei who had escaped into the soil.

”Taking a punch from me and not shattering, that cauldron must be a supreme treasure!”

Wang Zhen’s heart burned with desire. His fists could shatter even space, and until now, he had never encountered a magical treasure he couldn’t break!

Of course, it was also because the Sea Star was inherently barren, with no one skilled in refining treasures.

Precisely for this reason, he valued Xu Hei’s cauldron even more.

”This kid just started cultivating earth-based divine abilities and fled underground, probably to lure us. But so what? Facing two of us, and being heavily injured, no matter how he struggles, he’s doomed.”

”But we must finish this quickly. We’ve already revealed ourselves, and the battle can’t drag on too long!”Yuantai’s eyes flickered, his speed suddenly increasing as he drilled into the underground rock layers.

In the war between the two planets, every Divine Transformation cultivator was crucial. Once they exposed their position, it meant that other areas might lack strength, giving the enemy a chance to strike.

It was best to deal with Xu Hei within the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn!

”Boom!!”

The two demon figures reached the underground, chasing directly after Xu Hei. A cold smile appeared at the corner of Xu Hei’s mouth as he increased his speed once more, teleporting continuously through the rock layers, moving closer to the earth’s crust.

The deeper he went, the greater the underground pressure became, and gradually, the rocks turned to magma.

With the temperature, pressure, and gravity all suddenly increasing, Xu Hei stopped there, unable to go further with his current cultivation level, unable to truly reach the earth’s core.

”Oh? Keep running, why did you stop?”

A taunt came from behind, and Xu Hei saw a massive foot stomping towards his face—it was Wang Zhen’s terrifying wave foot!

Xu Hei remained unfazed, the first move of the Earth God’s ultimate technique flashing through his mind, a determined look in his eyes as he clapped his palms together.

”Starfall Earthquake!”

At this moment, an imprint of rock appeared at Xu Hei’s brow, and the mighty Earth Law spread out, stirring the underground rocks within a hundred thousand miles. It was as if the entire planet was rolling, and everyone felt like they were trapped in a blender, unable to control themselves.

”Boom!!”

Wang Zhen’s terrifying wave foot missed, his figure being swept away, leaving only Yuantai and Xu Hei, rapidly sinking underground.

Xu Hei manipulated them, plunging into the magma at a terrifying speed, heading towards the earth’s core.

”What?”

Yuantai’s face changed drastically. He took out a bead and crushed it again, a dense whirlpool of seawater swirling around him, trying to stop his descent. But this move was too domineering, one of the Earth God’s three strongest techniques.

Even though Xu Hei only exerted less than half its power, it was still irresistible.

”Boom!!”

Just like that, Yuantai and Xu Hei plunged straight towards the earth’s core, with Xu Hei closing in, using a move called Stone Vein Lock to bind them together, dragging them into the abyss.

The temperature rose, gravity increased, pressure surged, and the environment changed violently, becoming increasingly harsh!

Initially, Yuantai could withstand it, but gradually, his skin began to burn, and the true essence on his body surface drained at a terrifying speed. He swallowed a pill and summoned the delicate pagoda, feeling slightly better.

In contrast, Xu Hei seemed unaffected, continuously urging Starfall Earthquake to drag them further down.

”Xu Hei, stop! Do you know what going to the earth’s core means?” Yuantai shouted angrily. ”Once you exhaust your true essence in the core, you’ll never return to the surface and will be trapped to death. Are you crazy?”

Dragging him to battle in the earth’s core, even if he could kill Xu Hei, he would be too exhausted to return to the surface, only waiting for death!

What puzzled him even more was how Xu Hei, despite being heavily injured, could unleash such a divine ability, with a physical body so absurdly strong!

How long had it been since he entered the Earth God’s forbidden land, and he had already learned this? Was this person a monster?

Xu Hei, however, let out a cold smile, saying, ”Are you scared?”

He clapped his palms, directly burning his primordial spirit, causing the power of the Earth Law to surge, dragging them towards the earth’s core at several times the previous speed.

”Ah!!”

Yuantai also burned his primordial spirit, but still couldn’t slow down. The more he tried to escape, the greater the pressure around him became, with magma churning and earth veins collapsing, dragging him deeper into the abyss.

And this was precisely Xu Hei’s plan.

Facing two opponents was truly disadvantageous for him. He had to first use Starfall Earthquake to drag one underground, eliminating one first.

The best choice between the two was the physically weaker Yuantai. This person couldn’t survive in the earth’s core relying solely on his physical body, only by consuming true essence, and once the true essence was exhausted, he would have to burn his primordial spirit.

Xu Hei didn’t need to exert himself; he just needed to hold him down and slowly wear him out!

As for the other, Wang Zhen, Xu Hei didn’t believe he would dare to follow down. Even if he did, Xu Hei was confident he could drag both of them to death here. Although he might not be able to escape either, with the Demon God Cauldron, he could at least save his life, waiting for rescue.

However, this was the last resort, and Xu Hei didn’t want to entrust his fate to others.

In a Divine Transformation Stage battle, it wasn’t just about brute strength; one had to use the right time, place, and people, and think strategically!

History had countless examples of the weak defeating the strong, and Xu Hei never underestimated any opponent, to avoid being caught off guard.

”Still trying to escape? Get down here!”

Xu Hei gritted his teeth, continuing to burn his primordial spirit, dragging Yuantai further down, the two of them plummeting rapidly, getting closer to the center of the earth’s core.

Gradually, Xu Hei’s physical body also reached its limit, his skin turning crimson, dragon scales melting, his body twisting, and bones cracking.

In contrast, Yuantai’s originally green skin had completely peeled off and carbonized, turning black. Even though he desperately burned his primordial spirit and activated the pagoda to protect himself, it was to no avail, his life force rapidly declining.

He had two beads left in his hand, one with a screaming face, the other with a crying face.

He was not only enduring the pressure of the earth’s core but also being attacked by Xu Hei’s divine ability.

”Monster!”

Yuantai couldn’t understand why Xu Hei’s physical body was so strong, and his comprehension so extraordinary.

He could imagine Xu Hei learning part of the Earth God’s divine ability, but this move, had he just learned it?

Unknowingly, Yuantai’s primordial spirit had already burned by thirty percent, while Xu Hei had only burned ten percent.
