Serpent Ancestor

At this moment, the Soul Refining Demon Lord was clad in a black cloak, his entire body shrouded in a layer of shadow, like an invisible entity writhing.

However, Yu Jianqiu never needed eyes; his sword was his eyes.

With a single sword strike, he could seal the throat with precision, regardless of the opponent’s form. Even if it was just a soul entering, he could still sever its head!

The Water Kylin and the Master were merely double insurance, combined with the sealing effect of the Prison Tower, completely suppressing the Soul Refining Demon Lord. His form was locked, his soul unable to escape, entering meant certain death!

”Three top experts, plus the Prison Tower, all just to deal with me alone, haha, what a grand gesture!” The Soul Refining Demon Lord let out a strange laugh.

His voice was sharp and twisted, unclear whether it was crying or laughing.

The Water Kylin said coldly, ”This is to ensure nothing goes wrong. We know how hard you are to kill!”

The Master said, ”Now, what other tricks do you have?”

As he spoke, the Water Kylin shot countless black steel nails, striking various parts of the Soul Refining Demon Lord. These were the fourth-tier top-grade magical treasures, the Soul Devouring Nails, prepared specifically to counter ghost cultivators, in conjunction with the sealing formation.

The Master held a scroll, the Haoran Righteousness Technique enhancing it, enveloping the entire Prison Tower in a blue light, with the faint shadow of a sage appearing, countless words chanting like the Dao’s Sanskrit sound, leaving no evil thoughts in the heart.The Soul Refining Demon Lord stared at the two, suddenly laughing, ”If it were just me, I would indeed die here, but did Yu Jianqiu not tell you what the demon infant really is?”

Upon hearing this, the Master and the Water Kylin felt a chill in their hearts, a foreboding premonition rising within them.

At this moment, under multiple attacks, the Soul Refining Demon Lord remained unscathed, his aura growing stronger and more robust, showing no signs of decline.

The two instantly realized something was wrong!

This Soul Refining Demon Lord was problematic, not like an Elemental Infant stage cultivator.

”You hid well, even the spies of my Sea God Sect couldn’t see what preparations you made.”

”Sacrificing some insignificant small figures to lure me in and kill me here, this deal is quite worthwhile, isn’t it?”

The Soul Refining Demon Lord’s aura grew increasingly immense, soon reaching the critical point of the Elemental Infant stage, charging towards a higher level.

From the lowest level of the Prison Tower, terrifying tremors echoed, it was the sealed ”demon infant” stirring.

Even the seal was about to fail, about to break free, startling the Water Kylin to quickly strengthen the seal, injecting a bead condensed from true essence into the ground, stabilizing it.

”What on earth is going on?”

The Water Kylin looked at the silent Yu Jianqiu and questioned.

Yu Jianqiu said calmly, ”That is not a demon infant, that is the heart of the sea god.”

”……”

At this moment, the entire Prison Tower fell silent.

The two present were not fools; upon hearing this sentence, they realized the most serious problem—

They were not fishing for the Soul Refining Demon Lord, but the sea god!

The reason the Sea God Sect came out in full force was to reclaim the heart of the sea god!

”Haha, it seems you two were also kept in the dark. Old fox, I want to see what other tricks you have to dare lure me here!”

The Soul Refining Demon Lord’s voice suddenly changed, his face turning into a stranger’s, his eyes becoming pitch black without whites, a surging black aura spreading out, viscous black mist spreading in all directions.

In an instant, the Prison Tower was covered by the overwhelming demonic aura.

The Water Kylin and the Master felt an extremely yin and evil force invading.

This was the power of the sea god!

This power was like deep-sea crude oil magnified countless times, containing the will of ancient beasts, terrifying beyond measure, driving one mad at a glance, the most dreadful pollution in the world.

”Boom!!”

The Master and the Water Kylin were directly blasted away, Yu Jianqiu also flew back, the wounds on the Soul Refining Demon Lord healing in the surrounding demonic flames, his muscles writhing, turning into a mass of indescribable black substance.

In the Master’s eyes, it was a mountain of flesh piled with countless human corpses, in the Water Kylin’s eyes, it was a mass of rotten flesh, with countless octopus tentacles dancing wildly.

If not for the Prison Tower, with its sealing and suppressing effect, the two would have long lost their sanity.

”Divine Transformation stage!” The Master’s face turned pale.

”Is this the true form of the sea god?” The Water Kylin’s body froze, unable to move under the vast pressure.

What the sea god looked like had always been a mystery, it was said the four guardians’ artistic conceptions were taught by the sea god.

”Hmph! If the true body of the sea god descended, this mere Prison Tower could be destroyed with a flip of the hand!”

That hoarse voice came, the Soul Refining Demon Lord raised his hand, a torrent of demonic aura swept across the eight directions, igniting demonic flames in the void, even the space twisted from the heat.

The space within the Prison Tower was incredibly stable, needless to say, the two had confirmed this was definitely the power of the Divine Transformation stage.

Moreover, this power was extremely strange, extremely yin and evil, as if it did not belong to this world, causing space to repel it.

”Crack!”

Suddenly, a crack opened in the ground, a massive black flesh ball flew out, it was the sealed demon infant.

At this moment, the Soul Refining Demon Lord grabbed the demon infant, stuffing it into his chest, turning it into a beating black heart.

”Thump! Thump! Thump!...”

With each heartbeat, terrifying demonic aura surged out, the demonic might vast, shaking the universe, they seemed to see an unparalleled demon slowly awakening.

Once it opened its eyes, it would not only be a catastrophe for the Penglai Sea but also an apocalyptic disaster for the entire East Sea!

Divine Transformation stage, and not just any Divine Transformation, this was a peerless demon capable of polluting the East Sea!

”You two, control the Prison Tower with all your might, the rest... leave it to me!”

Finally, Yu Jianqiu spoke.

At such a critical moment, the Water Kylin and the Master did not hesitate, each summoning their strongest magical treasures, burning true essence, even burning their Elemental Infants.

”Why conceal such dangerous information?”

The Water Kylin glared at Yu Jianqiu, almost spitting out the words through gritted teeth. At this point, resentment was useless, he just wanted to know the answer!

Yu Jianqiu did not answer him.

His purpose for concealment was the same as the Water Kylin’s, such a dangerous plan could not be disclosed to others, otherwise, others would not take the risk.

The greatest possibility was to throw the heart away and not get involved, but they would also lose this only chance!

There was only one chance, the cost, he would bear!

”There is only this one chance, this sword, I have honed for five hundred years!”

”Today, is the moment for this sword to shine!”

Yu Jianqiu removed the blindfold from his face, this was the first time he opened his eyes, appearing in everyone’s sight, a pair of eyes like stars.

In Yu Jianqiu’s pupils, a silver, brilliant starry sky appeared, he gazed in the direction of the Soul Refining Demon Lord, staring at a beating heart and the surging sea god’s will.

The sword in his hand suddenly trembled, the starry river in his eyes reflected in the sword, making it as brilliant as the Milky Way. Like a candle in the dark, a star in the universe!

Under the sword’s radiance, the originally rampant pollution suddenly froze, like melting snow meeting boiling oil, retracting.

Yu Jianqiu’s aura was declining, at the same time, his sword light was flourishing.

”This move is...” The Soul Refining Demon Lord’s face changed dramatically.

He saw a light, a flying light.

Time was stopped, unable to escape, everything was in a state of stillness. And in the stillness of time, only that sliver of sword light came, reflecting on him.

This sword was named, Flying Light!

Flying Light, Flying Light, only seeing the cold sun and warm moon, consuming human life. This was the sword that cut off time, containing a trace of the law of time, an unparalleled divine ability!

With this sword, not only the Soul Refining Demon Lord but even the sea god within him could be cut off!

They finally understood Yu Jianqiu’s plan.

No wonder he dared to lure the Soul Refining Demon Lord here, no wonder he waited for the other to release the sea god’s will.

It turned out, he had this earth-shattering sword, capable of slaying everything.

”Swish!”

Time was frozen, when this sword was unleashed, it had already fallen, piercing into that heart with a roar.

”Poof!!”

The Soul Refining Demon Lord’s body was pierced, the once indestructible heart of the sea god was also penetrated!

The Soul Refining Demon Lord only felt like he was falling into an endless abyss, unable to struggle, unable to resist, only able to watch life fade away, powerless.

Along with it, Yu Jianqiu’s figure also vanished.

In an instant, his hair turned withered yellow, even those starry universe-like eyes dimmed, this sword unleashed, also marked the end of his life.

He chose to perish together!

Such an unparalleled divine ability was not something he was qualified to wield, a sword unleashed, cutting off time, meant he would also bear the cost of time’s demise.

He chose to sacrifice part of the Penglai Sea’s people, and himself, just to kill the enemy.

”……”

The Master and the Water Kylin’s eyes widened, their thoughts nearly halted.

”Without eliminating the sea god, the world will never know peace!”

”This is the only chance!”

Yu Jianqiu’s voice came intermittently.

Everyone fell into silence.

At this moment, the heart of the sea god was gradually ceasing to beat. The Soul Refining Demon Lord’s aura was disappearing, his divine sense already gone.

Suddenly, a voice came from the distant void, like muffled thunder echoing through the heavens and earth.

”Yu Jianqiu, you can kill me, but you must pay the price of all living beings in the Penglai Sea, including your disciple!”

This voice, containing terrifying pressure, came from the dark sky outside, penetrating the Prison Tower, reaching the core.

At this moment.

Xu Hei and Xu Bai were joining forces, battling Blood Vengeance, the sky suddenly darkened, and the voice echoed inside and out, entering everyone’s ears.

Everyone stopped their actions, looking up at the sky, only to see a pair of eyes from beyond the heavens, gazing down upon this world.

In those eyes, Xu Hei seemed to sense a will similar to crude oil pollution.

”The Eye of the Sea God!” Such words appeared in his heart.
