Serpent Ancestor

This wasn’t under his control; it was the first time the Demon God Cauldron actively absorbed another object.

After absorbing the wooden plaque, the Demon God Cauldron emitted a faint milky white glow, resonating at a peculiar frequency, as if undergoing some kind of transformation!

At the center of Xu Hei’s brow, a golden lotus bloomed, becoming tangible and falling into the Demon God Cauldron. In an instant, it vanished without a trace.

The Golden Lotus Law was devoured by the Demon God Cauldron.

Xu Hei took out the white bone jade slip, the last inheritance of the White Bone Dao technique, containing a rich fluctuation of the law of life.

Without hesitation, Xu Hei crushed it, and the law of life was automatically absorbed into the Demon God Cauldron, also devoured.

Xu Hei fully understood, nodding, ”So that’s it, devouring is the Dao of Heaven, this is the essence of the laws of heaven!”

Devouring is an instinct that all living beings are born with.

Whether animal or plant, absorbing external energy to survive is instinctual. Even lifeless planets will capture falling meteors from the outside.

It has nothing to do with good or evil, right or wrong, this is the Dao of Heaven!There are many cultivators who walk the path of devouring, but they do not know why they devour; only Xu Hei has touched the essence.

Previously, Xu Hei merely regarded the Demon God Cauldron as a tool to enhance his cultivation, unaware that the Demon God Cauldron was the embodiment of the laws of heaven.

The Demon God Cauldron is the Dao of Heaven.

”Boom!!”

Beyond the nine heavens, in the vast universe.

The terrifying sound of thunder grew closer, transforming into a thunder dragon, crashing towards a certain place on the Divine Continent Star with a world-destroying stance.

Its momentum was so great that it could easily destroy a continent, far surpassing any thunder tribulation in the mortal realm. In the history of the Divine Continent Star, it was unprecedented!

Xu Hei looked up at the overwhelming thunder approaching.

Inside him, the Demon God Cauldron resonated at a peculiar frequency, aligning with the thunder, and then it became ethereal, merging into Xu Hei’s sea of consciousness.

A small cauldron pattern appeared at the center of Xu Hei’s brow.

This was the law imprint, a mark only possessed by Divine Transformation cultivators who have comprehended the laws!

This was Xu Hei’s law, the law of heaven.

”Boom!!”

The thunder roared, piercing through the protective layer of the Divine Continent Star, directly rushing into the clouds, striking towards Xu Hei on that continent.

At the center of Xu Hei’s brow, the Demon God Cauldron materialized, enveloping him.

Just like the Golden Lotus of the Lotus True Monarch, it became a tangible entity, the embodiment of the law!

”Boom!”

The vast and surging thunder struck, and at this moment, the entire continent seemed to be lifted off, countless living beings turned to ash under this strike, as if struck by a meteorite, more like a punishment from the Dao of Heaven.

The Divine Continent Star would not be destroyed, the Spiritual Qi would not disappear, only the living beings on it would die.

The extinction and birth of species are but a drop in the ocean to the Divine Continent Star, even more insignificant to the vast universe.

Under this heavenly punishment, no cultivator could withstand such a strike.

But Xu Hei’s Demon God Cauldron stood firm in the thunder tribulation, instead displaying a frenzied devouring power, absorbing the thunder from beyond the heavens.

The law power scattered in the void surged towards Xu Hei madly.

”Poof!!”

In the distant northern land, the Extreme Joy Sect Master, Gongsun Ya, who was in the clouds, spat out a mouthful of blood, the fox mask on her face already half shattered, covered with cracks.

At the center of her brow, there was originally a law imprint, a strange smiling face.

But at this moment, the smiling face was fading.

The law power lingering around her was being frantically absorbed by Xu Hei, beyond her control.

”How is this possible?!”

Gongsun Ya’s face showed horror, the smile on her face had disappeared, leaving only panic.

”Impossible, this is impossible! I was the first to achieve Divine Transformation, I prepared for five hundred years, I destroyed others’ Dao traditions, pleased the Extreme Joy Immortal God, how could this happen?”

”No! I don’t believe it!”

At this moment, her petite body was trembling uncontrollably, a pale color appeared on her face, and the smiling face at her brow was growing fainter.

Gongsun Ya panicked, she had schemed for so long, how could a mysterious cultivator take away the Divine Transformation opportunity that originally belonged to her?

But suddenly, she laughed again.

”Hehehe, hahaha, so that’s it!”

Gongsun Ya seemed to have an epiphany, laughing up at the sky, tears almost flowing from her eyes.

”So, I was deceived too, I’m just a joke, is there anything more ridiculous than this? Hahaha...”

Gongsun Ya fell from the sky, but her laughter continued to echo in the clouds.

The Dao is merciless.

Mortals are like ants, cultivators like grass, all things are but straw dogs.

Even if you grow into a Divine Transformation cultivator, you still appear small before the Dao of Heaven.

Xu Hei saw through the Dao of Heaven, understanding that all things are but straw dogs. This time the divine thunder descended, baptizing all beings; if not for the embodiment of the Demon God Cauldron, sheltering Xu Hei within, he would have long since vanished like the ants of all beings.

The divine thunder formed by the laws of heaven struck into the Demon God Cauldron, Xu Hei seemed to hear the sound of the void shattering, the sound of creation.

”The laws of heaven want to stop me from achieving Divine Transformation, haha, it’s not hard to understand, because it doesn’t want a second Dao of Heaven to be born.”

”But since I’ve come this far, what is there to fear?”

Xu Hei looked into the depths of the void, his gaze full of determination.

He leapt into the sky.

In the distant depths of the universe, terrifying thunder gathered again, this time the power of the heavenly divine thunder was even stronger than before.

If before it was just destroying land, this time, it could evaporate the ocean!

Suddenly, Xu Hei turned back, glancing behind him.

The continent behind had turned into scorched earth, countless living beings perished in this catastrophe, and a massive crater visible to the naked eye appeared on the Central Divine Continent.

The Dao of Heaven is inherently merciless.

As the dragon of the Divine Continent Star, Xu Hei had witnessed countless nations regard him as a spiritual totem along his journey. Even many emperors, rulers of nations, revered the golden dragon.

Xu Hei often mocked himself, wondering why those divine statues were all human-shaped, not serpentine.

Little did he know, the form of the dragon had long been etched into everyone’s bones.

The Dao of Heaven is merciless, but Xu Hei is not the Dao of Heaven.

Once in the Penglai Sea, Meng Sheng sought to seize power, replacing the old with the new, which was the natural order, but Xu Hei repelled him!

In the White Bone Sect, using life replication to achieve another form of immortality, Xu Hei crushed it as well.

Xu Hei often wondered, what did those who slaughtered cities and destroyed nations have to do with him? Mortals died one after another, yet they could continuously regenerate, like leeks, did he need to care?

”Perhaps, walking into the abyss is an easier path.”

”But I am not Tu Sen, I am Xu Hei!”

Xu Hei stepped upward, his form transformed into a pitch-black divine dragon, raising his head high, with an unstoppable momentum, flying forward, flying beyond the nine heavens.

He wanted to step into the void, enter the vast universe, and bear this strike alone!

At this moment, all the blood in Xu Hei’s body burned like golden flames, illuminating the entire Divine Continent.
