Serpent Ancestor

”Yes!”

The other two, a man and a woman, immediately activated their Blood Demon forms. The woman grew long, spider-like appendages from her back, resembling spears or flying swords, and wielded a blood-colored staff. The man transformed into a blood-colored demon body, holding two giant axes capable of splitting mountains.

Xiong Yan sprouted six arms and three heads, assuming the legendary strongest Blood Asura form.

This form was not only invulnerable but also capable of breaking anything, countering some magical artifacts aimed at them, completely negating the drawbacks of the Great Brahma Blood Demon Art.

Xiong Yan’s talent was among the top in the history of the Blood Refining Sect. If allowed to continue growing, he might become the next cultivator to ascend.

Xiong Yan charged forward like a cannonball towards Xu Hei, a golden wheel appearing behind him. Each time it radiated, ripples spread out, continuously amplifying his physical strength, allowing him to shatter a meteorite with a single punch.

The other two also attacked simultaneously. One wielded a giant axe, creating illusions of a sea of blood and mountains of blades with each swing, not only intimidating but capable of cutting through gold and jade, even slicing through space in the outside world.

The woman wielded a blood-colored staff, summoning the shadow of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Countless ferocious energies condensed into various blades, launching them at Xu Hei from a distance.

Even a mid-stage Divine Transformation cultivator would struggle to withstand the combined assault of the three.

”Insect Control Formation!”Xu Hei released thirty thousand Spirit-Eating Ants, forming an insect formation that created three massive shields in front of him. Each shield was reinforced with the Rock Crystal Guardian, allowing the swarm to disperse the attacks significantly.

Simultaneously, a cluster of Lunar Mystic Fire appeared in his palm, now much darker than before, accompanied by a strong suction force. Xu Hei had infused it with the Law of Death and the laws of heaven.

”Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Various attacks rained down on the Insect Control Formation, shattering the Rock Crystal Guardian instantly and dispersing the shields.

Xiong Yan charged into the swarm, his six arms flailing like a dance of demons, each strike killing hundreds of Spirit-Eating Ants.

The wheel behind him was even more mysterious, its ripples causing confusion among the swarm, preventing them from approaching, with some even falling from the sky, losing their ability to fly.

This was the first time Xu Hei encountered an opponent that the Spirit-Eating Ants couldn’t handle.

”Xu Hei, is this all your spirit insects can do?”

Xiong Yan laughed, but suddenly felt a twinge of unease, his gaze fixed on the flame in Xu Hei’s palm.

The flame had turned completely black, forming a spherical shape. Xu Hei’s eyes flashed like lightning, and with the Night Demon Wings unfurled, his speed surged as he charged at Xiong Yan.

The fireball in his palm struck directly at Xiong Yan’s face, giving him a strong sense of crisis.

”Everyone, block this attack!” Xiong Yan shouted.

Xiong Yan raised his hand, summoning a thousand-foot-tall blood giant before him, a mountain of flesh exuding overwhelming ferocity and bloodthirst, terrifying to the extreme.

This was originally intended to be a super blood corpse he would refine after mastering his divine art, but he released it prematurely.

The other two also attacked simultaneously, but all their attacks were blocked by the insect swarm.

”Boom!!”

In the blink of an eye, the black fireball in Xu Hei’s palm imprinted on the blood giant, the icy flame enveloping it entirely, freezing it into an ice sculpture. The flame rapidly burned and melted it, piercing a large hole through its chest, unable to withstand even a single breath.

”What?”

Xiong Yan’s expression changed as he saw a pitch-black sphere passing through the hole, heading straight for him.

The Lunar Mystic Fire had been exhausted, but the sphere itself gave him a terrifying feeling.

This was the Second-turn Divine Ability, Death Meteor!

Xu Hei’s Lunar Mystic Fire was just a facade; the real trump card was this move!

”Heavenly Demon Palm!”

Xiong Yan no longer retreated, blood and flesh converging on his fist, forming a mountain-sized palm, striking at the Death Meteor.

”Boom!!”

The meteor’s suction force tore off Xiong Yan’s entire arm, death spreading rapidly, extending towards his body.

Xiong Yan decisively severed his arm, retreating violently, landing thousands of feet away.

”My heavens! Xiong Yan lost an arm in a single strike,” Yaoguang Zhenren exclaimed in shock.

They had already tried to overestimate Xu Hei, yet they hadn’t expected that Xu Hei could still gain the upper hand against three opponents.

However, Xu Hei did not pursue the victory. His gaze shifted to the other two.

”Not good!” Xiong Yan’s face changed dramatically, urgently shouting, ”Retreat!”

Without his reminder, the two immediately realized what Xu Hei intended.

Two flying swords had already lurked beneath their feet, striking from left and right in an instant.

”Clang!” ”Clang!”

The two used their respective methods, one summoning an ancient cauldron to block the sword, the other releasing a surge of blood energy to form a blood shield, enduring the strike.

”Let’s see how you block this!” Xu Hei sneered inwardly.

At this moment, the two suddenly noticed that the underside of the flying swords was covered with countless tiny black ants.

These ants were smaller than the Spirit-Eating Ants they had seen before, each with a long, thin black needle at the tail, a species they had never encountered.

Though they didn’t know what these were, they felt an extreme sense of danger.

”Are those... Black Needle Ants?” Flame Demon Ancestor noticed the situation, his eyes widening as he shouted, ”Run!”

”Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...”

It was too late. Each flying sword carried hundreds of Black Needle Ants, their tail needles firing simultaneously. One’s blood shield was instantly pierced, their body riddled with holes.

The other’s ancient cauldron was also riddled with holes, and they were struck several times. In the next second, the Black Needle Ants crawled through the holes, their bodies swelling and self-destructing.

”Boom, boom, boom...”

The woman was blasted into the air, and the main force of the Spirit-Eating Ants swarmed over, surrounding her and devouring her in the blink of an eye.

The blood demon-like man was riddled with holes, blood gushing uncontrollably.

What terrified him more was the paralysis spreading throughout his body, rendering him immobile, even his divine sense was frozen.

Unbeknownst to him, each Black Needle Ant had been coated with a potent poison by Xu Hei.

The Black Needle Ants swarmed and self-destructed, while the Star-Moon Sword teleported over, decapitating him with a single strike.

Thus, the two early-stage Divine Transformation elders of the Blood Refining Sect fell one after another at Xu Hei’s hands!

Though it seemed complex, from Xu Hei repelling Xiong Yan to the death of the two, it was only a matter of a few breaths.

Xu Hei’s confrontation with Xiong Yan was merely a ruse; in reality, he had long set his sights on the other two, even going so far as to use the Black Needle Ants he had kept hidden for so long, all for a decisive strike.
