Serpent Ancestor

At that moment, the sky suddenly turned dark, plunging everyone into an endless abyss of darkness.

The eerie cries of countless crows echoed in their ears. In the darkness, numerous eyes watched them, each gaze that of a hunter, while they were the prey.

”Damn it! It’s Night Owl!” Wang Zhen’s face changed dramatically.

Just as Yuantai activated the talisman, he saw the darkness engulfing him. He was pulled by a strange force, with half of his consciousness in darkness and the other half in reality.

Immediately, he felt countless crows drilling into his mind, each carrying a massive amount of chaotic information that would take him a long time to digest.

In just a brief moment, tens of thousands of crows had entered, bringing with them an incredibly jumbled, fragmented mess of information.

Even someone at the Divine Transformation Stage couldn’t handle such an overload, let alone in a severely injured state.

”Ah!!”

Yuantai let out a piercing scream as more and more crows gathered, drilling into his sea of consciousness, each bringing a torrent of information, intensifying the torment.

This was Night Owl’s famous technique, All Things in Nature.With an overwhelming amount of information, it could crush the enemy, rendering them unable to think or act effectively!

Within moments, Yuantai fell into a dazed state, his thoughts severed.

From afar, Xu Hei sensed it too.

It turned out Night Owl’s cultivation was at the mid-stage of Divine Transformation!

”Caw caw caw!!”

More crows emerged from the darkness, swooping down on Yuantai, tearing his physical body apart, pecking it clean.

Throughout this process, Yuantai remained motionless, his thoughts unable to function, left to be devoured.

”No!!” Wang Zhen howled in anguish.

He wasn’t afraid of death or failure, even if it meant his own demise.

What he feared was losing hope!

Was everything he did, all his sacrifices, in vain?

Finally, he looked at Xu Hei, madness filling his eyes.

”Die!!”

Wang Zhen’s eyes turned blood red, and with a roar, he unleashed a beam of black particles, gathered to the extreme, shooting towards Xu Hei.

This was a strike infused with all of Wang Zhen’s life force, his final desperate counterattack!

If this hit, even if Xu Hei hid in the Demon God Cauldron, he would be blasted deep underground, never to escape.

Night Owl acted decisively, burning his primordial spirit, and with a wave of his hand, a large flock of crows descended, forming a zone of darkness around Xu Hei, with light beyond the darkness.

”Yin and Yang, divide!”

Night Owl uttered a sacred chant, dividing the world into two realms of Yin and Yang, each not interfering with the other.

This was clearly a lethal move, and Xu Hei felt two different forces of laws within it, dividing the world.

A mark of laws appeared briefly on Night Owl’s forehead, something Xu Hei had never seen before, but it vanished in an instant.

”Second-turn Divine Ability!”

Xu Hei was inexplicably shocked.

In the state of Yin-Yang division, the earth-shattering beam ultimately only struck the boundary between the two realms, unable to invade the dark side where Xu Hei stood.

In the end, Wang Zhen could only watch helplessly, unwillingly, as his consciousness slowly faded away.

”If everyone’s sacrifice is meaningful, then who wins and who loses?” Night Owl looked at Wang Zhen calmly, saying indifferently, ”So, your death is meaningless. Escaping earlier would have been the right choice!”

Wang Zhen willingly faced death, risking his life to save Yuantai, only to end up like this.

Sometimes, effort is futile. If he had just fled, he might have saved his life.

Undoubtedly, Wang Zhen was a respectable opponent, but with the wrong direction, effort was meaningless.

Night Owl waved his hand, and the flock of crows surged forward, pouncing on Wang Zhen to devour him.

”No, it is meaningful!”

Suddenly, a cold shout came from the corner, from Yuantai, who was left with only his primordial spirit.

For some reason, he regained his senses, and with the fish scale in his hand, recorded a message, sending out a crucial piece of information.

”Confirmed, Night Owl has appeared in the far north, personally present, fully displaying his power, no mistake!”

”Divine Continent Star, act immediately!”

This message, like a beam of light, flew into the void, crossing the galaxy at an incredible speed, transmitting through the spatial rift.

Night Owl frowned slightly, waving his hand to intercept the darkness in the void, but the light paused only for a moment before being forcibly sent away by a law of space.

Yuantai’s Rift Space Talisman wasn’t used for escape, but to transmit a message.

What that message was, one could only imagine!

Though Night Owl’s expression remained unchanged, his heart sank. He also took out a communication talisman, but it would take at least an hour to send the message to Divine Continent Star.

He didn’t know what the other party had sent, but it was undoubtedly crucial!

”Even if we die, Divine Continent Star must leave behind two Divine Transformation experts. That’s fair! Hahaha! Night Owl, you miscalculated. Your appearance was your biggest mistake!” Yuantai laughed wildly.

But soon, he was swallowed by the endless dark crows, his primordial spirit perishing, utterly dead.

Alongside him, Wang Zhen was also devoured by the crows, his physical body consumed completely.

Night Owl’s figure appeared before Xu Hei, his entire being pitch black, still a shadowy figure with an indistinct face, only a pair of deep eyes.

He looked at Xu Hei, showing a rare hint of admiration: ”Not bad, your talent is the best I’ve ever seen.”

”But why didn’t you call for support?”

Night Owl questioned, ”Do you realize you almost died?”

Xu Hei remained silent.

He wasn’t almost dead; he was nearly blasted into the earth’s core, not yet at the point of death. Of course, he didn’t dare retort.

As for not calling for support, it was purely out of habit. Xu Hei worried that calling for help might bring a backstab instead.

Xu Hei turned to ask worriedly, ”Is Divine Continent Star okay?”

”There are problems, big problems!” Night Owl said solemnly, ”Our forces are balanced. My appearance on the Sea Star means Divine Continent Star loses a top-tier combatant. If they slightly consolidate their forces, they can create a power gap.”

”Then why did you appear?” Xu Hei asked.

”If I didn’t, would you just wait to die?” Night Owl retorted.

Xu Hei was momentarily speechless.

”I didn’t expect Yuantai to regain his senses and use the Rift Space Talisman to send the information away. That was my mistake. However, saving a genius Divine Transformation cultivator is worth it.”

Night Owl actually praised someone, which was very rare. Xu Hei had never seen him praise anyone before.

Night Owl said no more, waving his hand, and a flock of crows enveloped Xu Hei’s body, ascending at an incredible speed, passing through the earth’s core, and flying towards the surface.

Xu Hei was exhausted, only now slightly relaxing his mind. His primordial spirit had burned excessively, causing dizziness. He couldn’t think calmly and just wanted to rest.

”What are your thoughts on the battle just now?” Night Owl asked while flying.

”I... feel inadequate,” Xu Hei said dejectedly.

To others, he might seem exceptional, holding off two ancestors and nearly killing one, but Xu Hei still felt insufficient in strength.

The gap between Divine Transformation stages was too vast, unlike lower realms where he could easily surpass levels and even kill across stages. But at the Divine Transformation stage, this was nearly impossible.

”I’m not asking about you, but about me. What are your thoughts on me?” Night Owl said, raising his head with emphasis.
