Serpent Ancestor

”That’s right, that’s right! You are Xu Hei, exactly like the portrait, and your aura matches the rumors! You’ve returned!”

Xiong Kang’s face flushed with excitement, his whole body trembling.

Xu Hei could easily kill his predecessor Xiong Yan, so naturally, Xiong Kang was no match for him.

But on the outer battlefield, everyone’s cultivation was suppressed to the Great Perfection of the Elemental Infant stage, giving him a sliver of opportunity.

”Crackle!”

Xiong Kang let out a furious roar, and blood-red lightning erupted from his palm. The terrifying thunder tore his arm’s skin, sending a red mist soaring into the sky, the ultimate concentration of murderous intent.

”This move, a combination of the lightning law and the blood law, the Second-turn Divine Ability Blood Thunder Seal, is prepared just for you, Xu Hei!”

Xiong Kang’s eyes were bloodshot as he howled to the sky.

This move would damage his physical body, severely deplete his vitality, and even harm his soul! But if he could take down Xu Hei, it would all be worth it.

”What terrifying power!””When did Xiong Kang become so powerful?”

”My God, he hasn’t even reached the Divine Transformation stage and can already use a Second-turn Divine Ability. How can those Divine Transformation seniors stand it?”

Witnessing this, everyone exclaimed in shock, genuinely impressed by Xiong Kang’s strength.

Most Divine Transformation cultivators only knew First-turn Divine Abilities, yet Xiong Kang, not even at the Divine Transformation stage and only twenty years old, had surpassed them.

Even with the resources granted by the Spirit Realm, it still seemed unbelievable! No wonder he could defeat a Divine Transformation cultivator; his talent was unprecedented!

Only one person, Huang Shuer, had a flash of resentment in her eyes. She had already taken out a formation disk, ready to stab Xiong Kang in the back at any moment.

She planned to kill Xiong Kang while he was attacking, knowing that no one would remember or investigate what happened here!

Xu Hei glanced at Xiong Kang, his gaze cold, and said nonchalantly, ”Where did this fly come from, looking for death!”

Xu Hei raised his hand and slapped.

A seemingly ordinary slap, without any Divine Abilities or law power.

The void suddenly trembled, as if squeezed by an invisible force, directly obliterating Xiong Kang’s Blood Thunder Seal.

Immediately, Xiong Kang’s entire body exploded, his form and spirit annihilated, dead beyond dead.

Only a solitary arm flew out from Xiong Kang’s shattered body, fleeing into the distance.

”Hmph! Come back here!”

Xu Hei raised his hand and sucked, and the arm swiftly flew back, caught by Xu Hei in mid-air.

At this moment, the arm was still struggling, even though the main body was dead, the arm continued to move.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Xiong Kang was killed just like that, slapped to death like a chicken? Wasn’t everyone’s cultivation supposed to be suppressed to the Elemental Infant stage? How could someone so exaggeratedly kill Xiong Kang, who had the power of a Divine Transformation cultivator?

”Xu Hei, stop, don’t kill me!”

At this moment, a terrified voice came from within the arm, and it wasn’t Xiong Kang’s voice, but... Xiong Yan’s!

The flesh on the arm squirmed, and a human face emerged, who else could it be but Xiong Yan?

Everyone was stunned.

Xu Hei immediately saw through the ruse and sneered, ”Ha, you didn’t die completely, and you’re parasitizing in your junior’s body, causing trouble. You’ve got some nerve!”

Xiong Yan’s main body was indeed dead.

But he still had a Flesh and Blood Clone. To resurrect Xiong Yan, the Ancestors of the Blood Refining Sect combined their efforts to parasitize that clone onto Xiong Kang’s arm.

Once Xiong Kang successfully reached Divine Transformation, Xiong Yan could use the Blood Refining Sect’s blood sacrifice technique to seize Xiong Kang’s body and replace him.

This was the secret behind Xiong Kang’s ability to fight beyond his level.

It wasn’t him fighting beyond his level at all; it was Xiong Yan’s flesh and blood fighting in his stead.

Xiong Kang’s upbringing and the Spirit Realm pills he consumed were all to pave the way for Xiong Yan’s rebirth. Once successfully resurrected, he could break through and directly ascend to the Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation Stage.

A genius wasn’t important at all! What mattered was immediate combat power!

”Xu Hei, whatever you want to know, I, Xiong Yan, can tell you, including our Blood Refining Sect’s plans and the Spirit Realm cultivators’ conspiracies. I can lay it all out, just give me a chance...”

”Snap!”

Xu Hei squeezed hard, crushing the arm into pieces.

Then, his gaze flickered, locking onto the distant crowd.

There were over thirty cultivators present, mostly from the Blood Refining Sect, Yan Dao Sect, Tianhen Sword Sect, and Ancient Tomb Sect. Their attire made it easy to identify them at a glance.

There wasn’t even a shadow of the Divine Puppet Sect.

This indicated that the situation outside was more severe than imagined.

”Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...”

The Blood Refining Sect and Ancient Tomb Sect immediately turned and fled, while some from the Tianhen Sword Sect and Yan Dao Sect also ran, while others stayed, trying to remain calm.

Xu Hei pointed his finger, and those who fled were pierced through by his finger from afar, their bodies shattered into powder, their forms and spirits annihilated.

Then, Xu Hei waved his hand, collecting the storage rings from everyone and pocketing them.

Everyone was frozen in fear, stunned by Xu Hei’s methods, not daring to move.

”Tomb Elder, is this all you’ve got? You can’t do anything to me. Show all your cards!”

Xu Hei looked at the withered figure in the center, his gaze icy.

”Hmm?” Tomb Elder’s pupils contracted, ”You have memories of this place?”

”What, you seem surprised?” Xu Hei said.

Tomb Elder stared intently at Xu Hei, seeing many things in his eyes.

”The information about extraterrestrial demons is polluting. Anyone with memories of them would fall into madness, triggering the Demon Plague, and even causing a large-scale demon disaster.”

”But looking at this person, he seems unaffected by the memories of the extraterrestrial demons. That’s impossible...”

Countless thoughts flashed through Tomb Elder’s mind.

Back then, Canglan Immortal Lord set up the Naihe Bridge to make the world forget the news of this place, to prevent a demon disaster.

Xu Hei broke the norm.

However, what of it? Back then, Lotus True Monarch risked everything to send him out to deliver the message, only for him to mistakenly return.

This was simply courting death!

”Five Grand Commanders of Demon Suppression, attack!”

Tomb Elder waved his hand.

In the distance, five figures strode forward like lightning.

The first was a middle-aged man wielding a long halberd, his black hair cascading like a waterfall, wearing a golden crown and clad in scale armor, exuding majesty. He was the Orient Loong God Commander, Qin Wentian.

The second was a white-haired youth holding a treasure cauldron, his body adorned with pearls and jade, radiating brilliant light, bearing the mark of a qilin, like a heavenly emperor descending, overlooking the world. He was the Qilin Commander, Ye Wuchen.

The third was a red-haired woman with three divine eyes, carrying a longbow, surrounded by the divine fire of the celestial phoenix, like a fire god descending to the world. She was the Rosefinch Commander, Jiang Yunli.

The fourth had copper skin and iron bones, emitting an earthy yellow aura, carrying a meteor hammer. As he moved, he could warp space, with gravity reaching its limit. He was the Basalt Commander, Wang Hao.

The last, the fifth, walked on lotus flowers, radiating brilliance with each step, enveloped in golden light, like the light of a saint, impervious to all evil. He was the White Tiger Commander, Lian Hua.

Also known as Lotus True Monarch!
