Serpent Ancestor

As Yuantai continued to weaken, the burning speed of his primordial spirit only accelerated. At this rate, within the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, Yuantai would be unable to withstand it, and his primordial spirit would collapse, leading to his death.

Yuantai, an experienced Divine Transformation cultivator for a thousand years and nearing the mid-stage of Divine Transformation, found himself helpless at this moment.

”I was deceived! This young man is nearly invincible at the early stage of Divine Transformation, far beyond what I can handle!”

”What’s even more terrifying is his growth rate; he’s stronger than when he last killed Gong Tianlei!”

After careful analysis, Yuantai’s heart was in turmoil.

Xu Hei’s strength wasn’t unfounded; he improved every day!

Of course, Yuantai still had some tricks up his sleeve, but in this earth core, his water-based Divine Abilities were severely suppressed, rendering them almost useless. Using them would only burn his primordial spirit and hasten his death!

He had been careless, and one misstep could lead to eternal regret!

”Boom!!”

Suddenly, a thunderous sound rolled above their heads, as if some massive object was falling, causing a terrifying tremor.Xu Hei looked up, surprise in his eyes.

Yuantai’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly shouted, ”Just in time, come help me!”

In an instant, with the approaching thunderous sound, a colossal Sea Beast broke through the rock layers, crossed the magma, and charged toward them.

It was a gigantic lion-like creature with pitch-black fur, emanating a dark glow, with two massive tusks in front, five tails, and a single horn, exuding a terrifying aura of ferocity.

It was the long-lost ancient beast, Zhen!

Wang Zhen, with a trace of ancient Zhen beast bloodline within him, would enter an irreversible frenzy once activated, his ultimate desperate move.

Upon transformation, his strength could instantly reach the mid-stage of Divine Transformation.

But the cost was extremely high; during the transformation, his primordial spirit would burn rapidly, and if he fell into a coma, his consciousness would be replaced by the ferocious Zhen, turning him into a beast that knew only slaughter.

”Come quickly!” Yuantai shouted excitedly.

”Shut up! I know!”

Wang Zhen didn’t waste his remaining consciousness on talking but focused entirely on the battle.

”Roar!!”

He aimed at Xu Hei, unleashing a thunderous roar, the terrifying sound waves sweeping down, causing the space to collapse, even sending the magma below flying, creating a void.

Xu Hei quickly summoned the Demon God Cauldron, unleashing its devouring power to block, but was still hit, spitting blood, his body cracking, and was blasted a thousand feet away, yet he still tightly restrained Yuantai, not letting him escape.

”What a hassle!” Xu Hei’s face was grim.

He could handle one opponent, but with another one in a desperate state, how could he fight?

Keep dragging it out until Yuantai dies?

In that case, Xu Hei himself wouldn’t be able to hold on either.

This situation was far beyond Xu Hei’s expectations; he made the same mistake as his opponent, not knowing his enemy well enough.

…………

Above the Northern Continent.

A pure black shadow appeared on the sea surface.

The shadow took the form of a raven, its face unclear, only a pair of extremely cold eyes exuding a chilling aura.

He looked down at the long-gone continent, now just a vast sea, a murderous intent in his eyes.

”Sorry, Xu Hei, I’m late.”

The shadowy figure’s form flickered, diving into the vast sea, rapidly approaching the source of the underground tremor.

At this moment.

Near the earth core, Xu Hei was in a state of hard dragging, constantly using Starfall Earthquake to pull Yuantai downward.

Having taken several heavy blows from Wang Zhen, Xu Hei was covered in blood, severely injured, with his primordial spirit burned by about twenty-five percent.

However, in such a harsh environment, Wang Zhen wasn’t having an easy time either; each attack required his full strength, consuming a lot, and Xu Hei was effectively fighting two at once.

If this continued, the most likely outcome was mutual destruction.

Xu Hei was very fortunate not to have fought on the sea surface; by coming underground, he had the chance to maneuver; otherwise, he would have been the first to die.

Wang Zhen took a deep breath, staring at the increasingly weakened Xu Hei, then at the even weaker Yuantai, and said in a deep voice, ”Yuantai, you go first!”

He took out a transparent scale and tossed it to Yuantai, who caught it.

”This is…”

Yuantai’s pupils shrank; the scale had a strange law power, seemingly able to communicate with space, crossing galaxies, and upon touching it, he felt as if he had merged into space, moving freely like a fish in water.

”This is the Rift Space Talisman, passed down from my Ancestor; there are only two on the entire Sea Star, one with the clan leader and one with me,” Wang Zhen panted.

Yuantai’s face showed shock.

What surprised him wasn’t that the other had such a trump card, but that Wang Zhen was willing to give it to him?

It was already incredible that the other came down to save him at the risk of his life.

”The faith in the divine has been rooted in my heart since childhood; I cannot change it, only remain stagnant, but you are different!”

In Wang Zhen’s eyes, there was still a trace of sanity, and he quickly said, ”You are the first I’ve seen to dare blaspheme the gods; the future of the Sea Star cannot be entrusted to me, only to you!”

”Yuantai, you have jumped out of the well, while I have always been inside!”

Centuries of thought couldn’t be changed overnight; Wang Zhen had always believed in the gods, his skills were taught by the gods, and his bloodline was granted by them.

It was deeply ingrained, and he didn’t want to correct himself, to go against his original intention.

”Wang Zhen Ancestor…”

Yuantai was at a loss for words.

”Do you remember what I once said?” Wang Zhen smiled bitterly, staring at Xu Hei, ”I only take care of Xu Hei; the rest is up to you!”

”Now, it’s your turn to do the other things!”

With a low growl, Wang Zhen’s bloodline boiled, muscles bulging, body expanding, primordial spirit burning rapidly, generating endless energy, allowing him to unleash ten times his combat power in a short time.

Even the underground magma was pushed aside, creating an empty space; Wang Zhen stood proudly in the void, staring at Xu Hei behind the Demon God Cauldron, madness in his eyes.

He opened his ferocious mouth, the surrounding energy turning into black dots, converging into a massive black spherical lightning.

”No, I can’t keep dragging Yuantai! If I don’t fully counter this move, I’ll die!” Xu Hei’s face changed dramatically.

Yuantai had been held by his Starfall Earthquake, unable to leave, but now, he had to focus entirely on facing this strike.

The best way was to hide inside the Demon God Cauldron.

But where the Demon God Cauldron would be blasted to was unknown; if it really went deep into the earth’s core, it would be equally difficult to get out.

In that brief moment, countless thoughts flashed through Xu Hei’s mind; fighting two at once was ultimately too much.

”Alright! Take care!”

Yuantai didn’t hesitate, gripping the fish scale tightly, the Rift Space Talisman bursting with terrifying law power, space boiling like seawater, creating intense ripples, a law above all beings.

The King of Laws, the Law of Space.

His eyes reddened, watching Wang Zhen’s slightly crazed face, knowing this might be the last time he saw him in this life.

And at that moment, an extremely cold voice, like a nightmare from the Nine Nether, echoed above everyone.

”Today, no one leaves!”
