Serpent Ancestor

”Boom!”

A massive water tornado formed, spiraling with a roar. Enhanced by the Law of Death, the water turned a deep, deathly hue, transforming into a dark water dragon.

This was a Second-turn Divine Ability!

The Law of Water combined with the Law of Death, creating the Abyssal Yellow Spring!

”Boom!!”

The dark water dragon crashed into the ghost formation set up by the two, sweeping countless spirits into the waves, where they were annihilated by the Law of Death, turning into nothingness.

Wei Wudao summoned a large flag named ”Wave-Cutting Water Divider,” slicing down to forcibly split the water tornado, dispersing it effortlessly.

This man’s cultivation was truly unfathomable!

He turned his gaze to the water dragon, sneering, ”Sea Star Demon Clan, Hai Teng, born in the East Sea of Divine Continent Star, haha, so that’s it...”

”With just you alone, you wouldn’t dare to act against us. Who else is there? Come out together.”As Wei Wudao’s words fell, a woman with a shell on her back, transformed into a sea demon form, stepped forward. She was Shi Lan, at the mid-stage of Divine Transformation.

Additionally, there were Gongsun Bo and Wang Xiu from Heavenly Sand Star, both at the early stage of Divine Transformation.

Ji Qing mocked, ”Sea Star and Heavenly Sand Star, it’s not easy for the four of you to get here, yet you dare to do something so foolish. I wonder who gave you the courage!”

”The principle of ’lips die, teeth grow cold’ is something we understand. If Divine Continent Star falls, our Sea Star will be next,” Shi Lan said calmly.

”Heavenly Sand Star and the Blood Refining Sect are mortal enemies. Do we need a reason to act?” Gongsun Bo took out three dice.

Wei Wudao shook his head and said, ”If I had known earlier, I would have joined forces with the Blood Refining Sect to get rid of you troublesome people in advance!”

They had considered this before.

But first, these four posed no threat. After arriving at the Flying Spirit Garden, they didn’t compete for treasures, and even when absorbing Spiritual Qi, they stayed far away.

The four were united, and if pushed too hard, they might self-destruct, taking one or two of them with them, which wouldn’t be worth it.

Secondly, with the righteous sects Tianhen Sword Sect and Yan Dao Sect watching, acting against these four without reason might raise their suspicions and give them an excuse to make a fuss.

That’s why they hadn’t acted yet.

”Ji Qing, use three thousand fierce ghosts to hold these four, I’ll deal with Xu Hei. That’s the main task,” Wei Wudao instructed.

”Don’t worry, my husband, leave it to me,” Ji Qing sneered.

After a year of seclusion, having absorbed a large number of living souls, her cultivation had smoothly reached the peak of mid-stage Divine Transformation.

Both were just half a step away from late-stage Divine Transformation, their skills and divine abilities incomparable to before, no longer a weak link.

With a wave of her soul flag, three thousand fierce ghosts emerged, all nurtured from the Elemental Infants of cultivators. After devouring living souls, they were even more ferocious, harder to deal with than Spirit-Eating Ants. Even a mid-stage Divine Transformation cultivator would face near-certain death if surrounded.

Wei Wudao no longer paid attention to the situation here and headed straight for Xu Hei.

But he had only taken a couple of steps when the water dragon blocked his path again.

”Courting death!”

Wei Wudao’s eyes showed disdain. A mere early-stage Divine Transformation demonic beast dared to obstruct him repeatedly.

The Second-turn Divine Ability was not weak, but it depended on who wielded it.

Wei Wudao pointed at his forehead, where a massive black skull appeared, growing larger in the wind. The skull opened its huge mouth, emitting a sharp, piercing roar, as endless ghostly winds swept forward!

”Demonic Wind’s Heavenly Wail!”

This move was also a Second-turn Divine Ability, combining the Law of Wind with the Law of Yin and Evil. In Wei Wudao’s hands, it was capable of destroying the heavens and earth, annihilating all living beings.

Hai Teng’s body crackled with arcs of electricity, his blood burning fiercely. His dragon scales turned from azure to purple, dragon horns grew, and two bolts of lightning appeared in his pupils.

A third law was born at his forehead.

Simultaneously, an ancient voice echoed in his mind, ”Are you sure you want to use this move?”

”If Sea Star falls, and Divine Continent Star falls, where else can I go?”

”From the start of this battle, I had no other choice!”

Hai Teng’s three laws merged into one, then split into three, integrating into his body. His aura surged, forcibly elevating from early-stage to mid-stage Divine Transformation.

This divine ability, named ”Three Aspects as One,” was an inherited divine ability of the Azure Sea Dragon King, capable of tripling one’s spiritual power in a short time.

However, the conditions for its use were extremely harsh, requiring the comprehension of at least three different laws. It was a divine ability that fused laws into the physical body, forcibly enhancing cultivation, with severe side effects.

But during this period, the laws were fully integrated into the body. Therefore, Hai Teng’s Second-turn Divine Abilities could almost be cast instantly!

”Mystic Water Thunder Palm!”

”Annihilation Divine Thunder!”

Two Second-turn Divine Abilities, one on the left and one on the right, instantly formed on Hai Teng’s claws.

The left combined water and thunder, the right combined death and thunder.

Without hesitation, Hai Teng struck forward with both claws, aiming at the dark skull.

”Crackle!!”

A series of sparks and electricity erupted, the deathly silent wind was mostly annihilated in an instant, then charged forward like a bamboo splitting, smashing towards Wei Wudao’s face.

A strange light flickered in Wei Wudao’s eyes as he quickly retreated a thousand feet, summoning a ghostly furnace to block in front, which was fiercely struck by the dragon claws.

”Boom!”

The ghostly furnace was sent flying, exploding, with most of the fierce ghosts inside annihilated on the spot. Wei Wudao’s eyes narrowed.

”Three Aspects as One, this seems to be an ancient Third-turn Divine Ability, requiring the comprehension of three laws! It can triple one’s cultivation.”

”Once the laws are integrated into the body, divine abilities can almost be cast instantly.”

”This is a reckless fighting style, only a demonic beast’s robust physical body can withstand such terrifying strain.”

Wei Wudao, well-read and knowledgeable, immediately thought of the Three Aspects as One recorded in ancient texts.

He had thought that among this ragtag group, only Shi Lan at mid-stage Divine Transformation was noteworthy, but unexpectedly, Hai Teng was their main force.

At this moment, he glanced at the two people frozen by the Ten-thousand-year Cold Marrow in the distance.

Xu Hei had successfully bought some time, but it was merely a delay. Xiong Yan, using some unknown method, had begun to slowly melt the ice on his body.

Xu Hei, severely injured, could do nothing, seemingly waiting for death.

”We can’t delay any longer, or things will change!”

Despite the favorable situation, Wei Wudao dared not relax his vigilance. Since he had lowered himself to ambush Xu Hei, he naturally couldn’t underestimate this person.

…………

At this moment, inside Xu Hei’s Insect Emperor’s ring.

Countless Spirit-Eating Ants began to devour each other frantically. This was the strongest divine ability in the Heavenly Silkworm Scripture, the Myriad Gu Devouring Spirit Art.

It was an extremely costly method for the insects, allowing the swarm to consume most of itself in a short time, birthing the most powerful berserk insect king.
