Serpent Ancestor

Where the plants spread, new ones sprouted, not only on the pagoda but even on Lie Feng’s body. Mushrooms grew on his arms, and a lush green meadow appeared on his head.

”Another expert?”

Lie Feng’s robes billowed as a crimson bead appeared in his hand, which he crushed instantly.

”Boom!!”

Lie Feng’s physical body erupted like a volcano, with raging flames spewing from every orifice, incinerating all the plants.

A roaring whirlwind of fire burst forth from within him, burning his robes to ashes. At this moment, Lie Feng transformed into a figure of fire, riding the wild wind like an embodiment of the laws.

He stared at the Green Emperor, a look of surprise and suspicion flashing in his eyes.

”A cultivator from the Spirit Realm?”

”Who are you, and why are you interfering with the Flying Spirit Platform’s affairs?”

”I’ll give you three breaths to answer me!”

Lie Feng’s left hand burned with fire, and his right hand with wind. The intertwining of blue and red formed a fiery tornado, an ultimate control over the laws of heaven and earth!

The simplest way to distinguish between an ascender from the mortal world and a cultivator from the Spirit Realm is to see if the other can harness the power of the laws of heaven and earth.

After entering the Spirit Realm, an ascender can only use the laws within their own body and can only absorb, not control, the external laws of heaven and earth.

This difference can only be erased over a long time, and a newly ascended person could not possibly control the laws of heaven and earth so perfectly!

The Green Emperor did not speak, only retreated backward.

”Trying to leave?”

Lie Feng clapped his hands together, and the wind and fire intertwined, transforming into a massive wind-fire Azure Dragon, sweeping forward.

The Green Emperor clasped her hands, and the wood laws of heaven and earth gathered, forming a towering giant tree that collided with the wind-fire Azure Dragon.

And at that moment.

The space beside Lie Feng suddenly cracked with countless fissures, and within those fissures appeared a rotating black hole.

”Not good!”

Lie Feng’s face changed dramatically as the black hole expanded instantly, becoming a ferocious giant mouth that swallowed him whole.

”Boom!!”

Lie Feng’s physical body was directly consumed by the black hole, torn apart by countless spatial fissures, leaving only a phantom shadow, burning with flames, escaping from the black hole—his primordial spirit!

Xu Hei was stunned by this scene; Lie Feng was actually killed in an instant.

What was that black hole just now? Could it be the mysterious creature they had been hunting?

”Quick!”

Hei Huang urged, tossing the Star Compass to Xu Hei, now fully repaired.

Xu Hei reacted swiftly, boarding the Star Compass, accelerating to full speed, and chasing after Lie Feng’s primordial spirit, covering a thousand miles in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Hei was in front of Lie Feng.

”Stop, I am the liaison for the Flying Spirit Platform, you cannot...”

Lie Feng’s primordial spirit, in a panic, immediately took out a communication jade slip to send a message.

A resolute look flashed in Xu Hei’s eyes as he directly took out the Demon God Cauldron, rapidly enlarging it to absorb Lie Feng’s primordial spirit.

The Demon God Cauldron shielded all heavenly secrets, rendering the other party’s communication talisman ineffective, unable to send any information.

”What is this...”

Lie Feng’s pupils contracted sharply in horror, ”A treasure with its own space, what kind of magical treasure is this?”

”Die!”

Xu Hei had no intention of wasting words with him, directly activating the Demon God Cauldron to frantically refine Lie Feng’s primordial spirit.

”Ah!!”

A piercing scream echoed as Lie Feng continuously burned his primordial spirit in resistance, but once inside the Demon God Cauldron, how could he resist?

In just a dozen breaths, half of Lie Feng’s primordial spirit was refined.

However, using some unknown method, his primordial spirit quickly transformed into a spherical shape, with countless filamentous threads appearing on the surface, resembling a cocoon, wrapping itself up.

Within this cocoon, Xu Hei’s refining speed plummeted, efficiency dropping to less than a tenth of before.

”Such a life-saving method?” Xu Hei showed a look of surprise.

At this moment, the cocooned Lie Feng hurriedly shouted to Xu Hei, ”Fellow Daoist, it’s a misunderstanding, I mean no harm to you! Just let me out, and I’ll serve you as a slave, don’t kill me!”

Xu Hei ignored him.

He absorbed the Demon God Cauldron into his body, continuously refining it.

Once inside the Demon God Cauldron, no matter how many life-saving methods Lie Feng had, it was merely a matter of delaying time, with no help from heaven or earth.

However, it seemed that Lie Feng was unaware of the Jiang family’s reason for capturing him.

Xu Hei did not relax, his gaze shifted to the Green Emperor’s location, where layers of spatial cracks appeared, and the previous black hole reappeared.

”Be careful!” Xu Hei shouted.

This mysterious creature had caused heavy casualties to the Flying Spirit Platform and even killed Lie Feng, how could they contend with it?

However, the Green Emperor showed no intention of dodging, merely reaching out to touch the black hole.

A shocking scene unfolded.

The black hole did not exhibit any devouring power but instead emerged from the spatial fissure, transforming into the shape of a head.

On this head appeared a pair of deep eyes, with starlight twinkling within, as if one could see billions of galaxies, and a small horn atop its head.

This was the head of the mysterious demonic beast!

First came the head, then the body.

When most of the beast’s body emerged from the spatial fissure, Xu Hei finally saw it clearly.

It was a creature resembling a whale, but its body was more rounded, with the head occupying most of it, and a small body with a pair of fins, its tail still within the spatial fissure, not yet revealed.

And the beast’s attitude towards the Green Emperor was exceptionally... affectionate.

The Green Emperor raised her hand, stroking the little beast’s forehead, and the beast responded with a nuzzling motion, emitting a whimper like the starry sky, akin to a domesticated kitten, exceptionally docile.

Xu Hei was dumbfounded, and Hei Huang’s jaw nearly dropped.

The Green Emperor glanced at the stunned duo and said, ”It is a Void Beast, Tun Tun, one of my master’s legacies. It usually roams the void, traversing various worlds. After I arrived in the Spirit Realm, it connected with Tun Tun, bringing it here to protect me.”

”The Flying Spirit Platform sent two groups of people, both annihilated by Tun Tun.”

The Green Emperor’s words enlightened Xu Hei, no wonder the Flying Spirit Platform cultivators headed straight for Tun Tun that day, so this was the reason.

So, during their unconsciousness, the Flying Spirit Platform had already sent people, only to be secretly eliminated by Tun Tun.

Xu Hei had not been captured until now, thanks to this beast’s contributions.

”Thank you... Tun Tun,” Xu Hei said with a cupped fist.

But Tun Tun didn’t even spare him a glance.

Hei Huang laughed, ”Haha, with such a bodyguard, won’t we be able to walk sideways in the Spirit Realm from now on? Old Green Demon, can I borrow your spirit beast for a couple of days? The price is negotiable.”

The Green Emperor’s gaze turned icy, ”Tun Tun is not anyone’s spirit beast, it is free!”

”Roar!”

Tun Tun let out a roar from the depths of the void, making one’s head spin, as if falling into an abyss.
