Serpent Ancestor

”The plan is truly meticulous. You’ve lured me out, but for what purpose? Let me see...”

The Sea God, with a face identical to Xu Hei’s, raised his hand and pressed it against his forehead, the light in his eyes growing ever brighter.

”So that’s how it is.”

A faint, mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

”Besides you, there are so many Divine Transformation Stage cultivators lying in ambush around here. So, it’s to seize my Demon Seed, huh.”

”Back then, three old immortals teamed up to attack me. And today, you think a bunch of nobodies like you can outsmart me? Xu Hei, you’re overestimating yourself.”

A look of disdain flashed in the Sea God’s eyes. As his words spread, the aura within him grew stronger and stronger. As it matched Xu Hei’s cultivation level, his skin began to emit a grayish-white sheen.

It was a hardened outer layer, mirroring Xu Hei’s physical body.

He was replicating Xu Hei’s flesh and blood power.

”You can’t win.””Because I am invincible!”

The Sea God’s face twisted into a ferocious grin as his arm suddenly swelled, grabbing the spatial rift and tearing it open. He emerged from it, and in an instant, demonic energy surged to the heavens, black clouds rolling across the sky, shaking the world for miles.

The sky turned into a deep darkness, and the pollution in the sea spread at a terrifying speed, expanding countless times faster than before.

This was neither Spiritual Qi nor demonic energy; it was a substance opposite to Spiritual Qi, capable of nullifying it entirely.

”I’ve done what I needed to do, time to make a run for it.” Han Te chose to flee immediately.

Xu Hei’s expression was as calm as water, his mind racing with thoughts.

He had long known that the ability of extraterrestrial demons was replication, and among them, the Demon Child was the most outstanding. To defeat him, relying solely on one’s own strength was impossible.

As strong as Xu Hei was, the opponent would be equally strong.

To find a breakthrough, he had to identify what the opponent couldn’t replicate.

For this, Xu Hei had prepared three killer moves.

The first was the Demon God Cauldron, a heavenly treasure that couldn’t be replicated.

Facing the Sea God’s arrival, Xu Hei didn’t retreat but advanced, stepping forward and clawing like an eagle. The Sea God sneered and met him with a palm strike.

Their simple actions immediately caused the heavens and earth to roar, the space trembling, the stable space undulating like the sea, as if two planets collided.

”Boom!!”

No flashy divine abilities, just a direct clash, their palms meeting with force, instantly tearing the space apart.

The terrifying shockwave swept across, and the nearby Sea God Sect followers didn’t even have time to scream before being reduced to dust, their forms and spirits annihilated.

During this, Xu Hei let out a low shout, and the Demon God Cauldron within him suddenly activated, waves of explosive suction emanating from his palm.

”Buzz buzz buzz...”

The Sea God’s thick arm seemed to be caught in a vortex, frantically devouring energy, as waves of pitch-black demonic energy were sucked into the Demon God Cauldron. This wasn’t ordinary demonic energy, but Ancient true demonic energy!

”You indeed possess a heavenly treasure, no wonder I felt something was missing!”

The Sea God’s eyes flashed with realization, muttering to himself, ”But ordinary heavenly treasures, even if I can’t replicate them, I can sense their presence. Why can’t I sense yours at all?”

A flicker of doubt crossed the Sea God’s mind, but then the corners of his three mouths curled into a cold smile.

Suddenly, the Sea God’s power surged, and from the other two heads, a vast ocean of spiritual power poured in, boosting his strength, instantly overpowering Xu Hei’s palm.

”Crack!”

The sound of bones breaking echoed from Xu Hei’s body, even his tempered dragon bone snapping, showing that the other two beings the Sea God had replicated were no ordinary individuals.

One was the Demon Lord, whom Xu Hei had seen before. The Demon Lord had perished, using his lifetime’s stored spiritual power to avert a catastrophe in the East Sea. The other, whom Xu Hei hadn’t seen, was even stronger than the Demon Lord.

”The Demon God Cauldron’s combat enhancement can’t surpass the other two; I must use the other two killer moves!”

Xu Hei’s mind raced.

Since obtaining the Demon God Cauldron, it had been more of an aid in cultivation, allowing Xu Hei to quickly refine Spirit Stones, absorb impurities, and purify filth, enabling him to reach the peak of the Divine Transformation Stage at just over two hundred years old.

But in combat, the cauldron had never been its strong suit. Perhaps Xu Hei’s cultivation wasn’t enough to unleash the full power of the Demon God Cauldron. Even the method of hiding inside it for protection was something Xu Hei only mastered after reaching Divine Transformation.

”Try this!”

Xu Hei pulled out a pitch-black mirror, aiming it at the Sea God—it was the Heavenly Demon Mirror.

This mirror was known as an ancient demonic artifact, another treasure the extraterrestrial demons couldn’t replicate!

Suddenly, four pitch-black shadows emerged from the Heavenly Demon Mirror, pouncing on the Sea God, biting into him.

These four shadows were the extraterrestrial demons previously absorbed by the Heavenly Demon Mirror, all refined by the mirror for its use.

”Tricks of the trade!”

The Sea God sneered, three boils growing on his back, rapidly expanding. From them extended tendril-like substances, suddenly piercing into the four extraterrestrial demons.

”Ah!!”

With a series of shrill screams, the four shadows melted like wax, directly absorbed into the Sea God’s body.

”Why are there four?”

A flicker of doubt crossed Xu Hei’s mind; he remembered the Heavenly Demon Mirror had absorbed three extraterrestrial demons. But at such a critical moment, Xu Hei didn’t dwell on it.

As the extraterrestrial demons were absorbed, Xu Hei immediately shouted, ”Attack!”

Xu Hei shouted.

”Whoosh whoosh whoosh...”

Several figures flew in from afar, the reinforcements Xu Hei had brought. Hearing of Xu Hei’s intent to kill the Sea God, they didn’t even ask for a reason before joining the fight.

Hai Teng, Night Owl, Gongsun Bo, Yu Huang... each was an outstanding figure among the Divine Transformation Stage, with their own unique methods.

”A bunch of rabble, just a waste of demonic source, which I have in abundance!”

The Sea God glanced disdainfully, flicking his wrist, sending several dark beams shooting towards them.

These dark beams transformed mid-air, becoming identical to the attackers.

”Kill!”

Hai Teng’s blood boiled, the blue sea igniting in flames, charging at the equally burning figure, both colliding with a thunderous explosion.

Hai Teng’s extraterrestrial demon counterpart shouted as well, ”Hahaha, having a worthy opponent is one of life’s great joys!”

This was originally Hai Teng’s thought!

But when he saw a figure identical to himself voicing his own thoughts, an overwhelming disgust and a hint of unrecognized fear surged within Hai Teng.

He had only one thought: to kill this extraterrestrial demon!

Otherwise, if he died, this demon could replace him, a terrifying notion indeed.
