Serpent Ancestor

These twisted faces were mostly newborns, both human and demonic beasts. Among them was the child from the belly of the killer whale that Xu Hei had once seen.

They had just been born into the world, just gained a soul, only to have it ripped away, losing their lives.

The women imprisoned in the backyard were all machines for providing souls!

Such acts are beyond words like heinous!

”Ah!!”

At this moment, those faces all emitted eerie cries, some laughing maniacally, some screaming, some weeping. The cacophony of demonic sounds assaulted their ears, causing their heads to swell and nearly driving them mad.

”Burn the soul!”

Xu Hei shouted lowly, and soul fire surged out, forming a ring of fire that surrounded him. Lin Ziye drew a talisman, and a vast aura swept out, blocking the assault of the demonic sounds.

A twisted voice in the air coldly said, ”Originally, this Ghost Infant needed another fifteen days to be fully refined. Since you seek death, let you experience it ahead of time.”

As the words fell, the crimson meatball in the sky sprouted various limbs and several heads. The terrifying resentment became tangible, dyeing the space blood-red.

Illusory shadows appeared between heaven and earth, countless hellish ghosts crawling out from the void, as if they were in an Asura hell.

”Take action!” Lin Ziye shouted lowly.

”Roar!!”

Bai Qiushui roared angrily at the sky, charging towards the mass of flesh. His body swelled once more, his fists dancing like a storm, smashing forward, each punch causing a thunderous explosion.

”Boom! Boom! Boom!...”

The meatball suffered heavy blows, bursting with blood plasma, and all the faces emitted sharp cries of sorrow.

In the next moment, countless bloody tentacles shot out from the meatball, binding Bai Qiushui’s arms and legs. Some sharp spikes flew out, piercing his body, immediately creating bloody holes.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Qiushui, who had been invincible, became a man covered in blood.

The meatball had mutated beyond recognition, with all sorts of organs, not just human but also fish-like, all in the form of growing young ones, making one feel nauseous.

This reminded Xu Hei of the butcher, the difference being one killed enemies, the other killed innocents.

”With a long sword and a Qin bow, though my head and body part, my heart remains unyielding!”

Lin Ziye recited scripture, a long bow appearing in his hand, countless flying swords manifesting behind him. His will was firm, his aura exploding in an instant, surpassing the limits of his cultivation, clear energy swirling around him, causing runes to appear from his brow and spread across his body.

This was the Elemental Infant stage’s intent, and he also had a trump card bestowed by his master to protect him.

”Go!”

With a point of his finger, all the flying swords shot out together, and the long bow in his hand released a sharp arrow, piercing the meatball. The cries from the meatball grew more shrill, blood splattering, but the resentment grew even stronger.

Even with the two of them joining forces, they couldn’t stop the spread of resentment.

The crimson in the sky grew more intense, the scent of blood thickened, and the aura of the Ghost Infant continued to rise, growing by devouring resentment!

Xu Hei knew now wasn’t the time to hold back. If this Ghost Infant continued to grow, no one would be able to stop it.

He immediately took out the golden decree given to him by the old Flood Dragon, placing it on his brow. The decree melted automatically, merging with his horn.

In an instant, an invisible intent enveloped Xu Hei’s body, and behind him, the shadow of a Flood Dragon gradually appeared, its head lowered, eyes closed, as if in slumber.

It was like Mo Xuan in slumber, forever lying in that sunless cave dwelling.

This was an Elemental Infant intent, originating from the old Flood Dragon, yet very obscure. Xu Hei could barely sense what kind of intent it was.

”Strange, what is Elder Mo’s intent?”

Xu Hei had seen others use the Elemental Infant decree, whether it was Lei He or Xu Qingfeng, their intents were very clear, one of slaughter, the other of assassination. Including the two before him, their intents came from their master, where words became law.

But Mo Xuan’s, Xu Hei couldn’t feel it.

At this moment, the battle ahead had already fallen into absolute disadvantage. Bai Qiushui and Lin Ziye together couldn’t withstand the strength of this Ghost Infant.

Countless tendrils stretched out, various ghostly figures pounced, plunging the two into a bitter struggle, their injuries increasing. Even the vast aura was rapidly dissipating under the erosion of resentment.

In his confusion, Xu Hei suddenly had many insights in his heart.

These insights came from his past experiences, from enlightenment to now, scenes replaying before his eyes, finally settling on that trace of defiance.

”Defy!”

Xu Hei whispered.

Suddenly, the Flood Dragon shadow behind him opened its eyes, raising its head.

Awakening from slumber, reviving from despair, breaking shackles, shattering cages, this was defiance!

”Boom!!”

Xu Hei’s aura suddenly surged upward. This wasn’t the old Flood Dragon’s intent, it was his own intent, defiance! In this powerful intent, the Flood Dragon shadow gradually merged with Xu Hei’s body, becoming one.

”Roar!!”

Xu Hei roared to the sky, the Flood Dragon shadow roaring as well, the roar shaking the heavens.

”Hmm?”

In that instant, all the eyes on the meatball turned towards Xu Hei, filled with intense astonishment.

”This is...”

The Ghost Infant’s pupils contracted, followed by a surge of murderous intent in its eyes. This child must not be left alive!

In the next moment, the meatball shot up, actively crashing towards Xu Hei, its gaping maw opening wide, aiming to devour him.

Resentment descended like a storm, countless infant ghosts shrieking mournfully, rushing from all directions to bite at Xu Hei, wanting to devour his flesh, consume his soul!

The Ghost Infant’s actions left Bai Qiushui and Lin Ziye momentarily stunned.

”Dragon Shatter Roar!”

Xu Hei roared again, this time, with the Elemental Infant intent empowering him, his Dragon Shatter Roar’s power increased more than tenfold. With a single roar, the approaching ghosts burst apart, each one turning to nothing, vanishing into ashes.

Even the Ghost Infant’s body was stunned in mid-air, countless cracks spreading across it, blood flowing profusely.

”So strong!”

Bai Qiushui and Lin Ziye were dumbfounded.

Just moments ago, they were at an absolute disadvantage, the opponent’s strength beyond imagination. Given time, even with their master’s power, they would be in grave danger.

But now, the Ghost Infant was drawn to Xu Hei, abandoning its fight with them, turning to attack Xu Hei, only to be injured by him.

The two were quick-witted, immediately realizing that Xu Hei’s strength had already made the Ghost Infant wary!

Without any words, the two exchanged a glance and simultaneously charged at the Ghost Infant, unleashing the strongest power of their lives.

The sky cracked, clear energy flowed, their cooperation seamless, attacking the Ghost Infant.

With Xu Hei in front and the two flanking from behind, the Ghost Infant showed no fear, coldly saying, ”Hmph! Do you really think I can’t deal with you?”
