Serpent Ancestor

This mission is of the highest danger level, the greatest crisis since the birth of the Penglai Sea, comparable to the great extinction of ancient times.

It is indeed an extinction event. If the black substance spreads throughout the East Sea, it will be a catastrophe for everyone.

By then, the rain falling from the sky will turn black.

The land will no longer grow plants, and there will be no more animals.

Xu Hei was stationed on a deserted island, where a formation was set up in the middle of the island, prepared as a teleportation array for him.

Meanwhile, Hei Huang arrived at the formation left behind by the Sea God Sect.

”Are you ready?” Hei Huang asked.

”Stop wasting time, let’s go now!” Xu Hei urged impatiently.

”Safe travels!” Hei Huang smiled slightly and activated the teleportation array.

”Buzz!!”In an instant, Xu Hei’s figure entered a space tunnel, traversing space and moving towards the destination at an incredible speed.

The landing point this time was a hundred miles east of the Sea God Altar, the area with the densest pollution.

Xu Hei filled the dragon vein with true essence, ready to unleash it with full force upon landing.

…………

At the center of the Sea God Altar.

At this moment, a figure sat cross-legged, entirely pitch black, with only a humanoid outline. His eyes were like ghostly eyes, and there was a hollow at the center of his forehead.

Originally, there should have been an eyeball there, but it was lost by the Soul Refining Demon Lord.

This is the Sea God, the physical manifestation of the extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon!

”Hehe, all five guardians have fallen. Heavenly Demon Scattered Person, you’ve done well! According to my judgment, you should be following the teleportation array I left behind to find your way here, right?”

”Let me see, who else will you bring along?”

”Tian Jizi’s incarnation, the reincarnated Green Emperor, the ancient Kun Whale, and who else?”

”A bunch of insignificant beings, do you really think you can do anything to me?”

The Sea God, or more precisely, the current Demon Child, sat quietly in the depths of the altar, waiting for the arrival of the powerful ones.

His true form had already descended, and the reason he hadn’t acted yet was to be cautious. He would wait until the energy from his world completely covered the entire East Sea before making a move.

In this way, no matter where he was, he would be fighting on home ground, with a huge advantage.

On home ground, no matter how severe his injuries were, he could heal instantly, almost becoming immortal.

As for the five guardians, except for the regrettable death of the Soul Refining Demon Lord, the others were within his acceptable range.

Even if the Sea God Sect were completely wiped out, it would have no impact on him. As long as this energy spread throughout the East Sea, he would be invincible. By then, creating as many Sea God Sects and guardians as he wanted would be a piece of cake.

As for those who were about to come knocking, he would deal with them all at once, eliminating future worries.

”Buzz!”

Suddenly, the space a hundred feet outside the Sea God Altar trembled slightly, glowing with a ghostly light.

”Hehe, they’ve arrived.”

The Sea God slowly stood up, walked out of the altar, and stood still outside the trembling space.

Suddenly, that space stopped fluctuating, and nothing appeared.

”Heavenly Demon Scattered Person, you still like to play these old tricks. Is it interesting? Let me guess, it must be Tian Jizi shielding you from my detection, do you think I can’t find out?”

The Sea God’s gaze shifted, looking at several figures moving at high speed.

Suddenly, his hand shot out, crossing the spatial distance, directly grabbing a figure, which was a big black dog.

”Boom!!”

The black dog shattered, reappearing outside his palm, still in the form of a dog.

”Heavenly Demon Scattered Person, how can you compete with me in this form? All tangible things will eventually perish, only the intangible is eternal!”

The Sea God reached out again, his form only a humanoid black outline, representing the intangible.

”Hehe, how can the intangible kill a tangible being like me?” Hei Huang sneered mockingly.

Suddenly, the Sea God’s intangible hand turned into a mass of flames, burning towards Hei Huang’s body. Upon contact, a large part of Hei Huang’s physical body disappeared.

However, at this moment, Hei Huang’s physical body vanished, replaced by a burning paper figure.

The real Hei Huang had already appeared not far from the altar.

At the same time, countless paper figures began to dance around, numbering in the billions, rapidly approaching the Sea God.

”Tian Jizi, if your true form descended, I might be wary, but just an incarnation trying to deal with me is underestimating me!”

With a low shout from the Sea God, all the paper figures froze, then retreated along the original path, avoiding him like the plague.

Suddenly, a green lotus bloomed beneath his feet, purifying all the pollution.

Countless flowers bloomed in all directions, filling the space with fragrance, as if falling into a sea of flowers.

The Green Emperor’s signature move, Flower Sea!

But in the heart of each flower burned a wisp of green flame.

”A mere reincarnation, get lost!”

With a stomp of the Sea God’s foot, all the flowers changed color, turning into terrifying demonic flowers, the pollution reappearing, unaffected in the slightest, even the green lotus was corrupted, becoming a demonic lotus.

In this delay, Hei Huang’s dog paw had already pressed onto the altar.

”Buzz!”

Suddenly, the altar faded and disappeared.

Hei Huang passed through, touching nothing.

”What!?” Hei Huang was stunned.

The Sea God Altar had vanished.

”Hahaha! Heavenly Demon Scattered Person, I know you want to target the altar, but did you think I would leave it here for you to destroy? I’ve already moved it to the end of the East Sea, a place you’ll never find. All your arrangements are useless!”

The Sea God laughed wildly.

He looked at the figures appearing from all directions, his smile growing brighter.

He stayed here on purpose, waiting for this group to come, to catch them all in one go. Once he eliminated these potential threats, his path would be smooth!

Finally, the time had come.

”Today, you will all stay here!”

The Sea God’s intangible form split into three figures, one becoming a black dog, another a white-haired Tianji Shangren, and the last a cold woman in white.

Heavenly Demon Scattered Person, Tian Jizi, Green Emperor.

This is the Demon Child’s most basic ability among the extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, replication!

He can replicate people identical to the target, possessing the same abilities and cultivation, even their personalities can be copied.

This is known locally as—Inner Demon!

The only difference is that these people are true essence, while the Inner Demon uses demonic essence, the reverse of true essence!

Of course, this energy is unique to him as the Demon Child, other extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons do not have this ability.

One person replicating three, these three rushed towards their targets, identical opponents, destined for a brutal battle.

But in the heavily polluted depths of the East Sea, the Inner Demons he replicated had the ability to heal infinitely and recover instantly, fighting without fear of death!

The outcome was predictable.

”Oh? There’s someone else coming?”

The Sea God’s gaze shifted, looking a hundred miles away.

”Hehe, just an ant, I’ll give you an Inner Demon to play with.”

With a casual wave of his hand, a pitch-black flood dragon appeared, its form flashing as it rushed towards the distant direction.

…………

A hundred miles to the east.

After Xu Hei’s arrival, true essence surged forth, cleansing the reverse true essence and creating a clean, unpolluted sea area.

Although Xu Hei couldn’t perfectly utilize the Demon Lord’s true essence, he could expel it to clean the surroundings.

Xu Hei surveyed the area, quickly determining his position.

But in the next second, he sensed danger approaching, a flood dragon identical to him was rushing towards him.

The speed was astonishing, and what shocked Xu Hei was that the flood dragon used the same Ever-changing Fish and Dragon technique!

”Dragon Tail Swing!”

The Azure Dragon Combat Technique, Dragon Tail Swing, lashed towards Xu Hei.

Xu Hei had no intention of confronting it head-on. He retreated swiftly, avoiding the attack, and glanced around, immediately seeing Hei Huang and others also engaged in fierce battles.

”What’s going on? Why is the altar gone?” Xu Hei quickly transmitted his voice.

His target was the Sea God Altar, with the Sea God held off by those brought by Hei Huang.

But the current situation was beyond Xu Hei’s expectations, with the Sea God not only not being held off, but the Sea God Altar also disappearing.

Plans couldn’t keep up with changes, was this mission doomed to fail?

”The Sea God said he moved the altar to the end of the East Sea. Don’t panic, let me think.”

Hei Huang didn’t provide a clear answer, but judging by his expression, he was also contemplating this tricky problem.

What surprised Xu Hei even more was that among the three figures fighting in the distance, there was a woman in white as snow. Her skin had faint snake-like scales, and Xu Hei recognized her as Xu Bai.

However, her eyes lacked any of Xu Bai’s qualities, resembling a stranger.

The techniques she used far exceeded Xu Bai’s limits, her strength unfathomable, with various bizarre divine abilities unheard of.

No time to think further, the flood dragon identical to Xu Hei charged again.

Xu Hei knew he couldn’t be entangled; he had to find the location of the Sea God Altar, or the mission would be a failure.

”Get lost!”

Xu Hei swung his tail, colliding with his Inner Demon, resulting in a deafening explosion, sending the Inner Demon flying, half its body blown apart.

It seemed the Inner Demon couldn’t perfectly replicate Xu Hei’s strength.

But as soon as the Inner Demon touched the polluted seawater, its injuries healed instantly, as if it had never been hurt, charging again.

”What a nuisance.”

Xu Hei’s face darkened as he swam towards the direction where the Sea God Altar disappeared.

The end of the East Sea? Xu Hei didn’t believe such a large altar could be moved away without a trace; there must be something wrong.
