Serpent Ancestor

Xu Hei’s consciousness completely plunged into darkness.

The Demon God Cauldron was relentlessly pulled into the ring of the Dark Star and then rapidly fell, its speed far exceeding the limits of the Divine Transformation Stage.

No magical treasure could remain intact under such tearing forces.

Yet, the Demon God Cauldron remained unharmed, plummeting toward that pitch-black, profound star, piercing through the dark clouds until it crashed into the ground with a thunderous boom, then everything returned to silence.

…………

As for the two pursuers behind.

Seeing that catching up was hopeless, Mo Xingtian sighed inwardly as his Concealment Token had only one day left, and he had no choice but to turn around and leave.

As for Han Te, he was caught by the Dark Star’s gravity after Mo Xingtian detonated two of his avatars and pushed him with a divine ability.

Han Te uncontrollably fell toward the Dark Star.

”Hmph! A madman, but falling into such a place, your life is over.” Mo Xingtian snorted coldly, about to leave.Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and turned back.

He saw Han Te, with long purple hair and a magic sword in hand, stepping on the twisted void, slowly approaching him step by step.

He was resisting the gravity of the Dark Star.

”What?!”

Mo Xingtian was shocked.

This person could even break free from the Dark Star’s gravity; what kind of monster was he?

Although he believed he wasn’t afraid of the Dark Star’s gravity, he didn’t want to take such a risk and waste his energy on it.

”Spirit Stones! Give me back my Spirit Stones!”

Han Te roared hoarsely, like a wild beast gone mad.

The space behind him was bending and compressing inward, yet he relied on his formidable cultivation to withstand the gravitational pull, pursuing step by step.

”Damn it! If this person catches up, whether I can retreat safely is uncertain!”

As Mo Xingtian’s mind raced, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. He took out a crystal emitting a purple glow and threw it toward the Dark Star.

This crystal was also a Spirit Stone, a level higher than Supreme Spirit Stones, extremely sturdy and unaffected by gravity.

Soon, the purple crystal was captured by the Dark Star’s gravity, rapidly falling into it, and under Mo Xingtian’s urging, its speed soared, covering thousands of miles in an instant.

”Ah! Spirit Stone, don’t run!”

Han Te shrieked, his figure disappearing on the spot, seemingly teleporting as he lunged at the purple crystal, charging toward the Dark Star without hesitation.

Mo Xingtian clicked his tongue in secret, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

He took out a battleship engraved with the character ”Jiang,” placed Jiang Liuyu’s corpse on it, and quickly turned to leave.

Suddenly, he thought of Daoist Sparrow from the Divine Puppet Sect. Should he eliminate him?

But considering his dire situation and the endless stream of strange people in this realm, he dismissed the idea.

”This Seven Star Sect is not united; it might be better to secretly support a few families and incite a war among them.”

”Next time I come, it will be the day of the star’s destruction.”

The Jiang family is powerful, but they can’t truly destroy a realm as they boast. Even the Jiang family ancestor must endure the suppression of the mortal world’s laws.

But annihilating a cultivation star in the mortal world is still easy.

…………

Time flew by, the sun and moon rotated.

Xu Hei was unconscious for an unknown number of days, perhaps a month, a year, or even several years.

After suffering such severe injuries, it wasn’t until his physical body could perform breathing exercises on its own that he regained a faint sense of awareness.

He could feel that the Demon God Cauldron was in a meteorite crater, and even the hard surface of the Dark Star was smashed into a huge pit.

The gravity outside the Demon God Cauldron was immense, capable of crushing any cultivator below the Divine Transformation Stage.

In such a harsh environment, no ordinary life could survive.

After the first trace of awareness appeared, several months passed. Suddenly, there were dull footsteps from outside, as if something was approaching.

Xu Hei did not release his divine sense until the unknown person came close and lifted the Demon God Cauldron.

Then, they walked in a certain direction.

”Is there still someone alive here?”

Xu Hei was shocked, remaining completely still and retracting all his senses.

He was extremely cautious of the unknown, not daring to have any thoughts of probing, lest he be discovered.

The Old Tree was still in a coma, and it was a miracle that this wisp of split soul could sustain itself until now!

Even with the nourishment of the Soul Nourishing Tree, the soul power was likely almost depleted.

Xu Hei was temporarily unable to move, lacking even the strength to take a pill, and his consciousness had only slightly recovered.

After walking for about a week.

Xu Hei felt that the Demon God Cauldron seemed to enter a different area, where the external gravity suddenly decreased, reduced by at least several hundred times.

In such an environment, not to mention Elemental Infant cultivators, even those at the Core Formation Stage could survive.

”What is this place?”

Xu Hei pondered.

He hadn’t expected the Dark Star to have such relatively ”safe” areas.

After entering this realm, it wasn’t long before the person stopped.

Suddenly, there was a loud ”boom,” and the Demon God Cauldron seemed to take a heavy hit.

”Sure enough, it was bound to happen.” Xu Hei thought to himself.

This mysterious cauldron, once picked up by someone, would surely be tested for its hardness first.

Then, the expected process began, with the outsiders using various means and attacks on the Demon God Cauldron, which was tossed around but remained undamaged.

Xu Hei noticed that the attack methods of the cultivators here were too simplistic, mostly physical techniques.

Occasionally, there were some sorcery-like divine abilities, but their power was mediocre.

The strongest attack reached the limits of the Divine Transformation Stage, giving Xu Hei a rough understanding of the cultivators’ strength here.

”There are so many Divine Transformation cultivators; it seems surviving on the Dark Star requires some skill.” Xu Hei mused.

Subsequently, Xu Hei’s Demon God Cauldron was sealed in a well, and the outside world fell silent.

Xu Hei finally had a chance to breathe.

After Xu Hei’s consciousness awakened, it took two years before he finally consumed his first pill.

This pill, called the Revitalizing Heavenly Heart Pill, was for healing the primordial spirit. Xu Hei spent a week refining it and absorbed part of Jiang Liuyu’s primordial spirit power.

Xu Hei’s primordial spirit finally healed.

Now, his healing speed greatly increased. He successively took the Purifying Lotus Pill, Blood Lotus Pill, and other pills, quickly restoring the damaged Flood Dragon body to perfect condition.

When he transformed back into human form and fully recovered, another half year had passed.

Xu Hei sat quietly in the Demon God Cauldron, exhaling a long breath of turbid air.

After this battle, his cultivation stabilized at the mid-stage Divine Transformation, and his primordial spirit grew even stronger.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he found that the number of Spirit-Eating Ants in the Insect Emperor’s ring had returned to its peak, totaling fifty thousand, and the stingers of the Black Needle Ants had regrown.

However, only two Supreme Spirit Stones remained.

”How long was I unconscious?” Xu Hei asked.

Bai Zhi replied, ”Thirteen years.”
