Serpent Ancestor

”The Ancestor of the Wood Spirit Clan, Lotus True Monarch.”

”Since it’s a trial for me, having Lotus True Monarch as a witness shouldn’t be a problem.”

As Xu Hei spoke, he walked up to the statue.

The Thorn King’s eyes narrowed slightly, a sudden ominous feeling rising in his heart, ”What do you intend to do?”

”What do I intend to do...”

Xu Hei sneered, ”I’ve learned a special Divine Ability, which can be used to discern truth from falsehood, good from evil, whether it’s a person or an object, it works with just one move.”

Hearing Xu Hei’s inexplicable words.

On the surface, the Thorn King remained calm, but his hand gripped the staff tightly, secretly pushing the formation to its limit.

”You have only one chance to speak, are you done?” the Thorn King said.

Xu Hei clenched his fist, the True Essence within his body rapidly concentrating into his palm, compressing again and again.Before long, his palm began to distort, the surrounding space seemed to compress towards the center, creating an unprecedented terrifying gravity.

There was no wind, but everyone felt as if they were being sucked away.

”This move, I haven’t named it yet.”

”How about... Human Vanishing Technique!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Hei raised his fan-sized palm and slapped it towards the statue of the Ancestor.

The strike came too fast, and among the many powerful cultivators present, only two reacted.

The Leaf King and the Thorn King.

”You’re courting death!”

The Leaf King’s sword instantly unsheathed, like a spatial teleportation, slashing towards Xu Hei.

The Thorn King also gripped his staff, stomping down, causing countless sharp spikes to grow from the ground, stabbing towards Xu Hei.

”Clang!!”

The Leaf King’s sword was intercepted by a pitch-black shadow across the sky, a giant sword flying from afar, blocking it mid-air.

It was Han Te who intervened.

The Thorn King’s spikes struck Xu Hei’s body, only producing a series of clanging sounds, drawing some small blood splatters.

Such injuries were insignificant to Xu Hei.

As a result, the statue of the Ancestor was inevitably struck by Xu Hei’s palm.

”Boom!!”

Under countless shocked gazes, the statue of the Ancestor was shattered into pieces by Xu Hei’s palm, breaking into even smaller fragments.

Then, amidst the terrifying force, it was shattered further, turning into powder, and then into dust.

”Boom!!”

With one palm, the statue of the Ancestor was completely obliterated!

Gone without a trace, not even a speck left.

Everything that happened here was witnessed by every member of the Wood Spirit Clan through the Reflecting Sky Mirror.

”Boom!!”

Everyone felt as if struck by heavenly lightning, completely dumbfounded.

They seemed to have witnessed something unbelievable, standing there in a daze, at a loss, engulfed in confusion.

They only saw a flash of light, the Thorn King and Leaf King made their moves, Xu Hei struck, a terrifying shock, and the statue was gone.

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

The statue of the Ancestor was personally crafted by Lotus True Monarch back then, imbued with his mark of laws, refined with the most solid Golden Lotus Law, how could it be obliterated with one palm?

Not just shattered, but completely obliterated!

Besides anger, there was more confusion!

”Heh, is this the so-called statue of your Wood Spirit Clan’s Ancestor?”

Xu Hei sneered, his gaze sweeping across the crowd, over each bewildered face, ”A mere counterfeit dares to claim to be the Ancestor!”

With these words.

A vivid Golden Lotus appeared at Xu Hei’s brow, rapidly enlarging, forming a solid entity.

Below the Golden Lotus, a wisp of flame ignited, gradually enveloping it completely, with the Golden Lotus at the center of the fire, born from the fire, refined within the fire.

A sense of solemnity and sacredness, a vast power of laws, swept out from it.

This was the Golden Lotus Law, which Xu Hei had not used for a long time, the laws of another.

”Golden Lotus in Fire, evolved from the Metal of the Five Elements, refined by the Fire of the Five Elements, reborn in adversity, transformed in nirvana, this is the Golden Lotus Law.”

Xu Hei did not want to follow the path of others.

Therefore, he had never had any extra insights into the Golden Lotus Law, keeping it deeply hidden in his heart. The mark left by Lotus True Monarch, he had never used.

But this time, in front of everyone, he activated this law, also activating that mark.

This was the complete Golden Lotus Law, personally bestowed by Lotus True Monarch.

In some ways, it was even more complete than the inheritance Qing Shuang received.

After all, Qing Shuang’s inheritance was obtained from that Golden Lotus wooden box, left by the previous clan leader, whether the laws within were complete was unknown.

”What is this...” The Thorn King’s pupils contracted, his previously angry expression vanished, replaced by astonishment.

”Rumble...”

Suddenly, the earth began to tremble.

Like an unprecedented earthquake, the world shook, as if something was about to emerge from the ground and soar into the sky.

”Not good!”

The Thorn King’s heart surged with waves, gripping his staff, fully activating it, a massive formation emerged from beneath his feet, transforming into a sealing formation, suppressing the shaking earth, preventing it from cracking further.

But the more Xu Hei activated the Golden Lotus Law, the more the earth shook, even the formation seemed unable to suppress it.

Xu Hei sat atop the Golden Lotus, a hint of mockery on his face, ”Thorn King, what are you afraid of, what are you suppressing?”

”Could it be that there’s something unspeakable beneath this square?”

Xu Hei’s mocking voice was clearly heard by everyone.

The Thorn King’s face turned from green to white, gritting his teeth, ”Someone, capture this foreign cultivator! Life or death doesn’t matter!”

Without his command, Qing Xuan had already made a move.

Wang Dashan, Liu Feng, and others also attacked simultaneously, charging towards Xu Hei.

At this moment, the suppression on Qing Shuang was finally lifted.

The sealing formation was fully activated, used to suppress the underground object, giving her a chance to breathe.

”Now’s the time!”

Qing Shuang’s voice thundered, a golden giant sword shot from her mouth, striking the formation precisely, then the clan leader’s seal slammed down like Mount Tai, crashing onto the ground.

”Boom!!!”

Finally, with a loud crash, the ground completely shattered, the sealing formation dissipated.

The Thorn King’s face turned deathly pale, his eyes filled with rare panic.

A brand new golden statue rose from the cracks in the earth, slowly emerging, appearing before everyone’s eyes.

This statue was identical to the statue of the Ancestor, in appearance, size, and aura, maintaining the state from ancient times.

It looked as if Lotus True Monarch himself had appeared in the world.
