Serpent Ancestor

Xu Hei’s body traversed through the clouds, his blood continuously burning.

It was the transformation from snake blood to dragon blood.

The so-called severing of mortal ties, transforming from a mortal to an immortal, from a snake to a dragon, is not about becoming emotionless, but about enlightening your vision through experience.

What was valued in youth becomes as light as a feather with age, and what was disregarded in youth becomes as heavy as Mount Tai with age. Xu Hei, originally cold-blooded and emotionless, gradually developed values, companions who shared his days and nights, and things that mattered to him.

Severing mortal ties is about walking your own path, about growth!

Night Owl stopped in front of a crater in the Central Divine Continent, gazing at the sky with deep astonishment in his eyes.

”The divine punishment of the Dao of Heaven?”

In the Divine Puppet Sect, five Divine Transformation ancestors soared into the sky, their eyes filled with both shock and fear.

”The laws of heaven are enraged, bringing down divine punishment, how could this happen?”At this moment, a wooden sparrow flew out from the main hall, expanding into a wooden birdman, raising a hand to summon.

”Whoosh!”

A command flag flew from the depths of the sect, caught firmly in his hand.

”This is truly a moment of life and death, our sect cannot retreat!” Daoist Sparrow held the command flag, saying, ”I ask the ancestors to come forth.”

”Yes!” The five ancestors nodded in unison.

In the secret realm of Medicine King Valley.

Granny Jin, leaning on a cane, looked back at the two remaining inheritors of Medicine King Valley, saying, ”This old woman must come forth. I have left the inheritance of Medicine King Valley in the Green Emperor’s stele, may the immortals and gods protect you!”

Leaving those words, Granny Jin, leaning on her cane, took a step that spanned thousands of miles, leaving the secret realm.

In the far north.

The white bear had turned into a black and white bear. He slowly stood up, put on a bamboo hat, and grabbed a gong, muttering, ”Damn it, which bastard got heavenly retribution, making me suffer too!”

He flew into the vast void, holding the gong.

…………

Passing through the endless clouds, Xu Hei felt a powerful gravitational force binding him, but at this moment, he could rely on the power of the Demon God Cauldron’s laws to break free from the gravitational constraints and enter the starry sky.

The sky gradually darkened, and in Xu Hei’s eyes, the moon turned into a spherical shape, becoming increasingly bright.

And the distant galaxy unfolded before him, an extremely magnificent sight.

Looking back at the earth, it was a completely blue planet, surrounded by waves of spiritual clouds, stunning and captivating.

This was the place that nurtured him, the Divine Continent!

At this moment, Xu Hei was orbiting the Divine Continent Star.

Xu Hei gazed into the depths of the starry sky, though he saw vast galaxies, a layer of mist still shrouded the distance, obscuring the truth. That was where the divine thunder of the Dao of Heaven gathered.

”The divine thunder of the Dao of Heaven is coming for me! Standing here, I wonder if the Divine Continent Star will be affected!”

Xu Hei held his breath, ready to face the arrival of the divine thunder at any moment.

This was the most dangerous tribulation he had ever faced. Even with the Demon God Cauldron transformed into a protective law, he didn’t know if he could succeed. He instinctively felt a shiver, a signal of danger!

”Boom!!”

In a daze, Xu Hei saw the void tremble, a dazzling light point appeared ahead, growing larger and faster beyond limits.

The next second, he saw the lightning from afar crossing the endless void, crashing towards Xu Hei’s location with a destructive posture.

Xu Hei’s eyes could no longer see, only the extreme white light, brighter than ten million suns.

”A mere heavenly tribulation, every cultivator faces it when breaking through, I’ve crossed tribulations multiple times, why should I fear you?!”

With a roar, Xu Hei, relying on his sense of danger, advanced instead of retreating, charging forward.

”Snap!!”

At the moment of impact, the Demon God Cauldron sent out intense shockwaves, absorbing a large amount of lightning power, but still being affected greatly. Xu Hei could no longer bear it, spitting blood, his entire body shattered, flesh and bones torn apart.

His physical body was mostly destroyed, leaving only a golden Elemental Infant hiding within the Demon God Cauldron.

Without hesitation, Xu Hei immediately took the life-saving pill Xu Bai left him, swallowing it in one gulp, then operated the Heavenly Demon Technique.

His flesh and blood recombined, rapidly recovering, and within just a few breaths, Xu Hei had regrown his body.

But the outside light remained dazzling, and as soon as Xu Hei’s body healed, it shattered again.

Xu Hei could only take the pill and continue using the Heavenly Demon Technique to reconstruct.

Again and again, repeatedly.

He was completely surrounded by the sea of lightning, and looking outside the Demon God Cauldron, it was all a vast expanse of white, even half of the Divine Continent Star was shrouded in white lightning.

The coverage area of this lightning was terrifyingly vast, enough to evaporate the sea on the Divine Continent Star.

Xu Hei was like a floating duckweed in the sea of lightning, shattering and reforming repeatedly, unable to do anything, with the Demon God Cauldron only providing a sliver of recovery time amidst the constant lightning strikes.

It was too terrifying, the laws of heaven, terrifying to the point of despair.

Centered on Xu Hei, the area for endless miles became a massive lightning sphere, the world of the thunder tribulation.

At the same time, the Divine Continent Star was also enduring a catastrophe. If Xu Hei hadn’t come to the outer sky, standing in the void, this strike would have wiped out most of the life on the Divine Continent Star.

Gradually, Xu Hei’s consciousness grew increasingly blurred.

His Heavenly Demon Technique, initially able to repair his body, became increasingly powerless.

The pills Xu Bai gave him were gone, his own pills were exhausted, and the Demon God Cauldron began releasing spiritual Qi to nourish Xu Hei’s physical body, but in such a thunder tribulation, even Divine Transformation stage cultivators faced certain death, let alone Xu Hei.

”Tribulation crossing failed... Haha, how can I, Xu Hei, stop here...”

Inside the Demon God Cauldron, Xu Hei was unable to reconstruct his body, with blood and flesh floating everywhere, leaving only a golden dragon with wings intact, his Elemental Infant.

With his physical body destroyed, only the Elemental Infant remained, the most dangerous time for an Elemental Infant cultivator.

At this moment, the external lightning continued to compress towards the center, Xu Hei gazed at the floating dragon blood, his mind stirred.

Suddenly.

”Dong!!”

A clear bell chime sounded in the distant sky, followed by figures arriving outside the lightning sphere.

It was Daoist Sparrow and the five Divine Transformation ancestors of the Divine Puppet Sect.

He held a handful of golden beans, scattering them into the cosmic void, changing his hand gesture, planting the command flag, and shouted, ”Heaven and earth, mysterious and yellow, Thousand Mechanisms Grand Formation!”

These golden beans transformed in the air, becoming one black figure after another, each exuding a terrifying aura, at least possessing Divine Transformation cultivation.

These were all the fallen Divine Transformation ancestors of the past.
