Serpent Ancestor

”Thud!”

Suddenly, Xu Hei felt a sharp pain in his back, as if someone had clawed at him. However, his skin was tough, and no blood was drawn.

Xu Hei’s eyes narrowed, locking onto the Blood Robe Daoist ahead. He punched through the air once more.

”Boom!!”

The Blood Robe Daoist was struck hard, smashed deep into the ground, his ribs breaking in unison. Xu Hei also staggered backward as if he had been punched.

”Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...”

Suddenly, the broken ribs of the man seemed to come alive, transforming into sharp arrows shooting towards Xu Hei.

”What a bizarre divine ability.”

Xu Hei’s eyes flickered slightly. He raised his hand and smashed the flying ribs into pieces. Then, he saw the man grabbing his own front teeth, pulling them out forcefully. The teeth, with threads of blood, flew towards Xu Hei.

But it didn’t stop there. The Blood Robe Daoist then grabbed his own spine, yanking it out with a swoosh, forming a long, slender spine sword.”Boom, boom, boom...”

As the teeth neared Xu Hei, they exploded one after another, like a string of firecrackers, blasting out a sea of blood that dispersed the underground lava.

”Witch, I’ll hold this man off. You act quickly!” the Blood Robe Daoist shouted.

”Stop babbling!” the woman in yellow scolded impatiently.

”Smack!!”

Xu Hei slapped out, turning all the teeth into dust under his palm. He stepped forward continuously, charging at the Blood Robe Daoist. As the spine sword slashed down, Xu Hei’s hand cut out like a blade, slicing the Blood Robe Daoist’s body into pieces.

”Crack, crack, crack...”

The shattered bones didn’t die. They all came alive, including the spine sword shattered by Xu Hei, like a serpent opening its menacing head, lunging at Xu Hei.

The divine abilities of the Blood Refining Sect were always so peculiar, involving either blood or bones. This person seemed to follow the same lineage as Lady White Bone.

But in the face of absolute power, these were all meaningless.

”Dragon Shatter Roar!”

Xu Hei roared, and a visible tsunami of sound waves erupted, striking all the approaching bones, instantly turning them into powder, not even scratching a single hair on Xu Hei.

The remaining primordial spirit of the Blood Robe Daoist in the distance also dissipated under this move, his form and spirit annihilated.

The Blood Refining Sect’s ancestor at the Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation Stage was thus easily slain by Xu Hei.

”Ahahaha!! Xu Hei, even if I die today, I’ll drag you to hell with me! Come on!”

The surviving woman in yellow suddenly laughed sharply. Amidst her laughter, Xu Hei saw a blazing sun slowly appearing at the center of the underground.

Within the blazing sun, a terrifying spatial vortex emerged, encompassing all areas within a thousand miles.

In an instant, the world changed, and the stars shifted.

The space Xu Hei was in was yanked by a tremendous force, instantly displaced, entering the vortex passage. In the blink of an eye, they left Flame Star, shooting towards a boundless, scorching light.

”This is... an ancient teleportation formation!”

Xu Hei recognized the formation, identical to the one Hei Huang had set up years ago, but this one was ancient, like a remnant from ancient times, and its scale was unprecedented in Xu Hei’s life.

Xu Hei flew out of Flame Star, into the vast cosmos, at an unbelievable speed, heading towards a massive sphere of light.

—That was the Sun!

As the Great Teleportation Formation activated, it dragged Xu Hei along with the space he was in towards the Sun, at an incredibly fast speed!

If he crashed into the Sun, even a Divine Transformation cultivator would be incinerated, their form and spirit annihilated, and even their primordial spirit might not escape!

”The Sun?” Xu Hei’s eyes narrowed slightly.

”Hahaha, this is the escape route created by my sect’s first ancestor when extracting Solar Essence Fire. Now, I’ve reversed it to send you to the Sun!”

”No matter how strong your physical body is, entering the Sun’s core leaves no chance of survival!”

”Today is your death day...”

As the woman in yellow spoke, Xu Hei pointed a finger at her.

A stream of spiritual qi, compressed to the extreme, shot out from Xu Hei’s fingertip, striking the woman. Her sharp voice abruptly ceased, and she vaporized cleanly, leaving not even a trace of her primordial spirit.

This was a killing move Xu Hei named ”Meteor Stab,” achieved by continuously compressing true essence and concentrating it at his fingertip before releasing it. He really didn’t want to hear the woman’s annoying voice.

As the distance to the Sun grew closer, Xu Hei not only had no intention of stopping but also felt a hint of curiosity.

The Sun, in theory, should be even more dangerous than the Dark Star.

But with Xu Hei’s current strength, he could tread almost effortlessly on the Dark Star. Entering the Sun posed some risk, but it wasn’t impossible to attempt. If he could acquire some rare resources, it would be a great fortune!

Normally, Xu Hei wouldn’t take such a risk, but without taking risks, how could he face greater challenges?

Xu Hei collected the storage rings of the two, being propelled by the teleportation formation, flying towards the Sun.

...

Flame Star, Blood Refining Sect headquarters.

After Xu Hei’s rampage, the place was already devastated, unrecognizable. Fortunately, Xu Hei was lured away by the two ancestors. Although the Blood Refining Sect suffered heavy casualties, many still survived.

Suddenly, in the central plaza of the sect.

The previously calm space rippled with intense spatial fluctuations, like waves appearing, growing stronger, as if a layer of spatial passage was opening, extending towards this place.

”It’s the spatial passage left by the Blood Knife Patriarch!”

”Someone is coming through!”

The disciples of the Blood Refining Sect shouted.

Under everyone’s gaze, a blurry figure emerged from the crack in the center of the plaza, stepping out slowly.

It was an elder dressed in a phoenix-feather robe. They couldn’t sense a trace of aura from him, but just standing there made everyone feel suffocated, like ants in the mortal world witnessing the descent of a god, trembling instinctively.

”Greetings, Spirit Realm Lord!”

Someone shouted.

All the cultivators of the Blood Refining Sect knelt in unison, paying great respect to the one who descended at the center.

Mo Xingtian appeared, glanced around, a proud look flashing in his eyes, seemingly enjoying such reverence.

”Where is Xu Hei?” Mo Xingtian asked indifferently.

The disciples of the Blood Refining Sect exchanged glances, their expressions peculiar.

Just now, Xu Hei was lured away by the two ancestors. If he hadn’t been, wouldn’t this lord have easily slain Xu Hei with a wave of his hand?

”Whoosh!”

Mo Xingtian seemed to sense something, unwilling to waste words, directly grabbing one person’s forehead, performing the Soul Searching Technique.

Moments later, Mo Xingtian’s face darkened. He clenched hard, crushing the person’s head.

”A bunch of fools, incapable of achieving anything, only ruining things!”

He stepped forward, soaring into the sky, instantly breaking out of Flame Star’s range, chasing towards the Sun.
