Serpent Ancestor

In the days that followed, Xu Hei focused entirely on healing, preparing for the journey to the Moon Star.

Their plan this time was kept secret, known only to the Grand Elder and the Sect Master.

During the healing period, Night Owl did his utmost to teach Xu Hei all the combat techniques of the Divine Transformation Stage and the methods of using the Night Demon Wings.

Xu Hei learned diligently.

This concerned his life and death, so he had to be cautious.

His time as a Divine Transformation cultivator was still too short, and he hadn’t had the chance to learn many things systematically, nor did he have a master to guide him, which put him a step behind.

But when it came to comprehension, Xu Hei was not inferior to anyone.

…………

A week later, in the forbidden area of the Divine Puppet Sect’s back mountain.

Xu Hei’s figure sank deep underground, reaching a place near the Earth’s crust. There was a hollow space here, and looking up, he could just see the moon, like a sliver of sky.On the ground, an ancient teleportation array was set up, its age unknown, but it still emitted powerful spiritual power fluctuations.

”This array is called the Star Ejection Array. It can shoot you to the Moon Star, where there is a starry sky teleportation array. You just need to place a Supreme Spirit Stone into the groove to activate it, allowing you to reach the nearest cultivation star,” Night Owl reminded.

”I understand,” Xu Hei nodded.

Before departing, Night Owl suddenly asked a question.

”Xu Hei, you and Hai Teng were once friends, right?”

”Yes,” Xu Hei nodded.

”If we win the battle, do you wish to spare his life?” Night Owl asked.

Hearing this question, Xu Hei fell silent.

He knew the sect planned to set up a major battle in the far north, the first direct confrontation between the main forces of two cultivation stars, which would, in a sense, determine the outcome and direction of a war.

Night Owl’s question naturally referred to this.

After a long pause, Xu Hei shook his head and said, ”That’s your business, not mine.”

Night Owl was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, ”I understand.”

With a thought, the Star Ejection Array activated.

Xu Hei’s body was suddenly subjected to an irresistible force, instantly plunging into a spatial rift, rapidly shooting towards the universe above.

It was as if the gravity of an entire planet was concentrated at a single point, acting upon him.

Xu Hei quickly approached the Moon Star.

During this process, Xu Hei also recalled the earlier question.

”Hai Teng... forget it, different paths cannot be pursued together,” Xu Hei shook his head.

He could understand Hai Teng’s actions, as well as those of the Sea Star Demon Clan. From their perspective, the Divine Continent Star was the great evil, and humans were the source of all evil!

But from Xu Hei’s perspective, what wrong had they done?

Humans standing at the pinnacle of the Dao, creating a cultivation system centered on humanity, was the result of survival of the fittest. The Dao Ancestor also fought his way up step by step.

”No, that’s not right!”

Xu Hei suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

If the Dao Ancestor also fought his way up step by step, then who created the current laws of heaven?

Who set the four insights Xu Hei had previously carved?

Xu Hei didn’t ponder for long before he saw the shadow of the Moon Star growing larger in the void ahead. In an instant, Xu Hei fell like a meteor onto the Moon Star, landing in a meteorite crater.

His previous thoughts were abruptly cut off, as if interrupted by some force.

Xu Hei spread his divine sense. The Moon Star wasn’t large, and with a flicker, he arrived at a starry sky teleportation array.

The origins of this teleportation array were already unclear, as if it had been set up in ancient times.

Moreover, Xu Hei sensed a subtle aura hidden beneath the teleportation array, belonging to a guardian.

Night Owl had mentioned this guardian before, advising Xu Hei not to disturb or pay attention to it.

Xu Hei bowed in the direction of the guardian, then entered the starry sky teleportation array, took out a Supreme Spirit Stone, and placed it into the groove.

”Buzz!”

With a flash of light, Xu Hei disappeared on the spot.

…………

Time passed slowly.

On the Divine Continent Star, the war developed as Daoist Sparrow had predicted. The Sea Star Demon Clan used the East Sea as a base, rapidly expanding into the surrounding seas.

First, they occupied the East Sea, then the South Sea, and then the Western Ocean.

Wherever there was an ocean, the Sea Star Demon Clan infiltrated, subjugating the local demon clans and exterminating humans, leaving no survivors.

Humans living on the sea suffered greatly, retreating to the land.

In just a month, there were no island nations or sects left on the Divine Continent Star.

Next, they planned to concentrate their forces and advance towards the far north. Once they occupied the far north, it would be a short step to reach the Central Divine Continent or occupy the Western Cang Realm where the Divine Puppet Sect was located.

This was the most crucial territory!

While the war on the Divine Continent Star raged on.

A pitch-black shadow sped through the universe, approaching the Moon Star.

”Up ahead is the storm layer of the Moon Star. Back then, the twentieth generation ancestor fell here,” Xu Hei’s eyes flashed as he took out the palm-sized wing.

”Swish!”

The wings merged into his body, growing from his back into a pair of giant black wings, plunging the surrounding space into absolute darkness.

The law of darkness, this was Night Owl’s power of law, now merged with Xu Hei’s laws of heaven, perfectly controlled by him.

Xu Hei’s law could devour others’ laws, making him even more adept at controlling this treasure.

From a distance, one could see a shadowy area plunging into the storm layer of the Moon Star without causing any ripples.

”Still smooth,” Xu Hei thought to himself.

He didn’t know how much strength the Moon Star had left locally, but with Xu Hei’s current means, he wasn’t afraid of anyone in a one-on-one fight, and even if he couldn’t win, he could escape.

Below the storm layer was the astral wind layer.

Xu Hei stopped here, not proceeding further, as going further would subject him to attacks from the astral wind layer, the Moon Star’s natural protective barrier. Although he wasn’t afraid, it would increase the risk of exposure.

Xu Hei took a deep breath, locked the surrounding space, and then performed teleportation forward.

Once, twice, three times... five times...

This time, Xu Hei performed teleportation ten times before unlocking the space.

”Whoosh!”

In the next second, Xu Hei’s body vanished instantly, bypassing the astral wind layer, and landed directly on the sea surface of the Moon Star, a hundred thousand miles away.

Teleporting a hundred thousand miles in one go, only he dared to be so reckless.

Xu Hei looked at his shattered body and immediately took a pill to heal his injuries.

Teleporting a hundred thousand miles placed a great burden on the physical body, and it took Xu Hei about ten breaths to fully recover.

This infiltration did not alert anyone.

He spread his divine sense, scanning the underwater terrain, and took out a map for comparison.

”Hmm?” Xu Hei suddenly let out a sound of surprise.
