Serpent Ancestor

”Boom!”

As Xu Hei’s voice fell, the entire seabed shook violently, as if an earthquake had occurred! In an instant, distant tectonic plates shifted and pressed toward the center, causing the land to rise rapidly.

Moments later, towering mountains emerged from beneath the sea, growing higher and gradually breaking through the surface, forming new land.

The once empty sea surface finally saw the appearance of land!

Everyone widened their eyes, staring at the spectacular scene before them, not daring to blink.

As time passed.

Around the Earth God’s forbidden land, more and more land formed. Initially, it was just small islands, but the islands grew larger, and their elevation gradually increased, as if undergoing a transformation spanning millennia.

The previously submerged land quickly emerged, breaking through the ocean’s cover and returning to the surface.

”Earth Pulse!”

Xu Hei clapped his hands, and the underwater volcanoes within a hundred-thousand-mile radius erupted one after another, their roars shaking the heavens and earth. Countless streams of magma surged from the seabed, rapidly cooling to form layers of rock, connecting to build the foundation of a continent.Xu Hei was like a master of artifact refining, crafting a divine weapon, except he used the world as his material, magma as his furnace, and the continent as his framework.

With a wave of his hands, countless islands connected like puzzle pieces, forming a massive landmass with a diameter of a hundred thousand miles.

With a mere gesture, he triggered volcanoes, pieced together islands, and constructed a continent.

This awe-inspiring scene left everyone present in shock.

”To create a continent with just one’s own power, to seize the creation of the world, is this the might of a Divine Transformation cultivator?”

The crowd looked up at the figure standing in the heavens, their eyes filled with endless awe and reverence.

If there were still people who believed in gods, then at this moment, Xu Hei was the god in their hearts!

The ancient gods created the world, and Xu Hei created continents with a wave of his hand, not much different from the gods they imagined.

At this moment, regardless of age, gender, or cultivation level, the scene before them was enough to be etched into their hearts, remembered for a lifetime.

”The gap between us and the Divine Transformation stage is so vast.”

A burly man in the Earth God’s forbidden land said.

”Divine Transformation is the pinnacle of the mortal realm. One step further, and one can ascend to the heavens. It’s not something we can compare to.”

His companion sighed.

Compared to a Divine Transformation cultivator, even those at the Elemental Infant stage were like ants. Such feats of moving mountains and filling seas, shifting continental plates, which Elemental Infant could accomplish?

”In my view, even for a Divine Transformation cultivator, creating a continent is an extremely difficult task! For this senior to do it so effortlessly, perhaps... the Earth God has returned.”

An elderly man in the distance said solemnly.

Everyone was stunned. Although they had no concept of the power of the Divine Transformation stage, they knew what the Earth God represented.

No matter what, Xu Hei’s strength had deeply impressed them, enough to be revered as a deity.

In the days that followed, under the witness of the crowd, more and more land emerged from the water, forming islands and then continents.

Numerous continents connected to form an even larger landmass.

In just three days, the Northern Continent had been mostly restored.

Such a feat was not something every Divine Transformation cultivator could achieve. Xu Hei had comprehended the Earth Law and learned the Earth God’s techniques of moving mountains and filling seas, allowing him to accomplish such a grand feat.

During this process, Xu Hei also experimented with many of the divine abilities taught by the Earth God, and his proficiency increased rapidly.

By analogy, Xu Hei even had confidence in using many divine abilities he had never tried before.

However, he still dared not use the most powerful Earth Core Transformation. With his current abilities, he didn’t even dare to delve into the earth core, let alone absorb its power.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

The Northern Continent was almost fully restored, its area even larger than before.

Xu Hei did not continue expanding. After a week of sleeplessly creating land, he was exhausted.

Standing high above, Xu Hei looked down at the earth. The newly born land was still littered with drowned trees, and the once lush forests had vanished, but he believed that in a few days, dense vegetation would grow again.

Xu Hei suddenly had a thought.

Could he continue creating land, expanding the Northern Continent to occupy the ocean?

Although there was some risk, it was worth a try.

With his current abilities, given enough time, he could completely change the environment of a planet.

By now, the people on the ship had disembarked and returned to the continent.

They stood on the land Xu Hei had created, looking up in unison at the sky, and once again performed a grand salute.

”We will never forget Senior Xu’s grace in creating land!”

Everyone knelt down, performing the highest form of respect.

The Sea Star Demon Clan only knelt to gods. For human cultivators who never believed in gods, they regarded Xu Hei as their deity!

Xu Hei felt indifferent to this, but suddenly, he sensed a peculiar aura, invisibly entering his body, flowing through his breath and into his heart.

Xu Hei was taken aback.

It was a kind of Qi!

Gradually, the flow of Qi increased, forming the shape of a dragon. This dragon was yellowish-brown, embodying the earth’s weight, with long breaths and a majestic aura, capable of encompassing all things.

This was Dragon Qi, a new kind of Dragon Qi!

Xu Hei had only one Dragon Qi before, a golden Dragon Qi formed from the Five Elemental Metal, sharp and unmatched. Now he had a second Dragon Qi, of the Five Elemental Earth, thick and nurturing!

The fifth transformation of the Nine Transformations of the True Dragon, Gathering Dragon Qi!

Xu Hei had never understood what this meant and had never attempted to gather Dragon Qi. In his view, the time in the Divine Transformation stage was destined to be long, and he could only slowly explore over time.

But unexpectedly, he had already touched upon the meaning of gathering Dragon Qi without much time passing.

”Gathering Dragon Qi, so that’s what it is.” Xu Hei mused.

He hadn’t fully understood it yet, but having taken the first step, the path ahead would be much smoother.

Xu Hei immediately descended underground to begin closed-door cultivation to restore his true essence.

On the new continent, cultivators spread out, opening new lands, establishing new cities and tribes.

A new order slowly unfolded around Xu Hei.

On the Northern Continent, there had always been a rule—the Sea Star Demon Clan was sacred and inviolable, their status above humans, and their orders were to be unconditionally obeyed.

Especially the royal clans like the Merman Clan and Frogman Clan, they were absolutely not to be provoked!

This was not only the rule of every city-state but also a regulation set by every sect to avoid offending the Demon Clan and inviting disaster.

But with Xu Hei establishing a new continent, the old order was completely abolished.

From this day forth, the Sea Star Demon Clan would be killed on sight! The long-suppressed grievances finally found release!
