Serpent Ancestor

”Ah!! Don’t run!”

Han Te shouted strangely, carrying his demon sword as he chased after.

At this moment.

Xu Hei, riding the Star Compass, arrived near a meteorite belt. This place had once experienced a star explosion, leaving meteorites scattered everywhere.

In the center of the meteorite belt, there was a faintly visible crimson light shield, within which sat a frail figure on a shattered meteorite.

This person, with disheveled hair and a body covered in blood and grime, was none other than Jiang Liuyu, who had been severely injured by the Azure Sea Dragon King’s star explosion.

Despite being at the Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation Stage, Jiang Liuyu had not yet shattered the void. After such a heavy blow, he managed to survive, relying on his protective magical treasure!

His treasure was evidently extraordinary.

”It’s you!”

Jiang Liuyu was clearly conscious. He glared at Xu Hei, who was approaching, and said angrily, ”You actually came here, good, let me...”Before he could finish, he started coughing violently. He wanted to utter some harsh words, but his injuries wouldn’t allow it.

At this moment, Jiang Liuyu looked around and found something amiss.

With Elder Mo’s abilities, he should have captured these natives one by one long ago. How could he let this person get so close?

What was Elder Mo doing?

But before he could think further, Xu Hei, upon spotting Jiang Liuyu, immediately changed direction and charged at him. Midway, Xu Hei focused his mind, and three different law forces appeared at his brow, materializing and surging into his body.

Law infusion!

”Crackle!”

Xu Hei’s body trembled violently, emitting a thunderous sound as his physical body fused with the raging law forces.

First, the Earth Law.

Xu Hei’s body transformed into a rocky form, his skin cracked and dried, covered in heavy crystals, and gravity increased.

Next was the Law of Life and Death, flowing between life and death, sometimes aging, sometimes vibrant, achieving a certain balance, Yin and Yang in harmony.

Finally, the most powerful Law of Heaven, Xu Hei’s body became like a black hole, unleashing a terrifying suction force.

When all three laws infused into his body, Xu Hei shouted, ”Three Phases, Unite!”

This was his first time using the Three-turn Divine Ability!

With the infusion of the three laws, Xu Hei’s cultivation surged threefold in an instant, skyrocketing from the mid-stage Divine Transformation to the peak of the mid-stage Divine Transformation.

Under the frenzied boost of the Law of Heaven, Xu Hei’s body crackled, his bones trembled, and his meridians shattered, enduring unbearable pain.

With such violent power, Xu Hei’s cultivation advanced once more, reaching the late-stage Divine Transformation!

He directly ascended a minor realm.

The power of the Three-turn Divine Ability was unleashed to its fullest by Xu Hei.

Xu Hei could have ignored this person and slipped away from a distance. Given Jiang Liuyu’s severely injured state, he likely couldn’t catch up, which would be the safest option. But doing so wouldn’t be Xu Hei’s style.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Xu Hei couldn’t resist the urge to strike while the iron was hot.

”Die!”

Xu Hei conjured a Death Meteor with his hands, and in a flip, a black light orb formed in his palm.

One in each hand, two Death Meteors completed in an instant, Xu Hei reached Jiang Liuyu, and with a left and right strike, pressed them onto the crimson light shield.

”Boom!!”

Jiang Liuyu’s shield couldn’t withstand it and instantly shattered. His face darkened as he pulled out a crimson long knife, slashing it with a layer of Heavenly Phoenix Demon Fire, the fire phoenix blazing, illuminating the galaxy.

Despite his severe injuries, Jiang Liuyu’s strength was still formidable.

”Blade of Divine Sense!”

Suddenly, the Old Tree behind Xu Hei launched a divine sense attack, directly targeting Jiang Liuyu’s brow.

A phantom bell appeared at Jiang Liuyu’s brow, intercepting most of the divine sense attack with impeccable defense! Yet a small portion still affected Jiang Liuyu, causing his attack to slow by a beat.

”Black Needle Ants, fire!”

Xu Hei released all his stored Black Needle Ants, five thousand in total, each needle capable of piercing through gold and stone.

Most of the black needles were blocked by Jiang Liuyu’s knife, but the remaining ones, to his horror, landed on his body, turning him into a pincushion.

The black needles had been pre-coated with the Green Emperor’s poison pill by Xu Hei.

Jiang Liuyu felt dizzy, his vision blurring, and could only instinctively activate a defensive talisman, shouting, ”Xu Hei, you can’t kill me! If you do, not only will you perish, but this realm will also be destroyed!”

”A mere mortal realm, the Jiang family doesn’t even care about it. Do you want the beings of this realm to be buried with you...”

Before he could finish, Xu Hei froze his head with Ten-thousand-year Cold Marrow, then drew the Star-Moon Sword, ready to strike.

”Stop!”

From afar, Elder Mo’s voice boomed, transmitted through divine sense across hundreds of thousands of miles into Xu Hei’s sea of consciousness, shaking his mind.

”Young friend, don’t be impulsive. As long as you stop, everything can be negotiated! We’ll leave immediately and never invade this realm again!”

Elder Mo spoke rapidly, promising numerous benefits, fearing Xu Hei would deliver the killing blow.

Xu Hei didn’t hesitate, bringing down his sword, blood spurting.

However, just as Xu Hei made his move, he halted abruptly. Jiang Liuyu held a rune, creating an invisible force field that blocked the sword mid-air.

The Star-Moon Sword only penetrated an inch into his brow before it could go no further.

At this moment.

Time seemed to stand still!

Elder Mo was dumbfounded, standing hundreds of thousands of miles away, as if struck by lightning, eyes fixed on the scene.

Jiang Liuyu, with a look of horror, gritted his teeth, fully activating his last defensive talisman to block Xu Hei’s Star-Moon Sword.

Xu Hei’s eyes were wild, determined to end this person with a single strike, regardless of the consequences.

Behind Elder Mo, a babbling, crazed Han Te was chasing over.

At this moment, if Xu Hei activated the Demon God Cauldron, he had a good chance of devouring and refining the defensive rune, then slaying this person with a single sword.

Or he could directly absorb this person into the Demon God Cauldron and slowly refine him, both methods to kill him.

But at that time, the Demon God Cauldron would be completely exposed to Elder Mo.

In the mortal realm, this item was a mystery, only regarded as an incredibly hard magical treasure. But once discovered by a Spirit Realm cultivator, the consequences were unknown to Xu Hei.

And if he killed Jiang Liuyu, his enmity with the Jiang family would be irreconcilable. As Elder Mo said, the future of this mortal realm would be uncertain.

Should he take such a risk?

In that brief moment, Xu Hei considered many things, his mind unprecedentedly calm.

Choice one, choice two.

Two paths lay before Xu Hei: kill this person or let him go? To kill or to release?

Xu Hei gritted his teeth, a struggle appearing on his face. For someone usually decisive, this expression was rare.

”Young friend, as long as you release the Sixth Young Master, any condition you have, just name it, everything can be negotiated!” Elder Mo hurriedly shouted.

”That’s right, as long as you let me go, I promise not to trouble you again!”

Jiang Liuyu also quickly spoke, no longer daring to threaten, realizing he absolutely couldn’t provoke this person.
