Serpent Ancestor

One of the Seven Stars, Divine Continent Star.

An elderly figure stepped out from the outer universe, traversing a hundred thousand miles in a single stride. Within a few breaths, he crossed from the outer ring of the Divine Continent Star into the Western Cang Realm, standing directly above the Divine Puppet Sect.

”The ruler of this place, come out to see me!”

With a cold snort, the elder’s overwhelming aura descended, pressing down from within. In an instant, three figures broke through the air from within the sect, appearing before the elder.

They were none other than Qin Xuanji, Liu Yunjing, and the bear, the guardians of the sect.

The elder’s aura was not concealed in the slightest, and the three were all awestruck.

”Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation Stage!”

A storm surged in their hearts, and they dared not be negligent. They quickly cupped their fists and said, ”We did not know of your esteemed presence, what brings you here?”

Elder Mo took out a jade slip and said indifferently, ”I am Mo Xingtian of the Jiang family from the Spirit Realm. I have come to your star to find someone. Do you have any information on this person?”The jade slip projected a light image, clearly displaying the features and aura of Jiang Nine Phoenix, even her half-demon form as a Heavenly Phoenix was projected.

The three exchanged glances and shook their heads, saying, ”We have no information on this person.”

”No?” Mo Xingtian frowned, staring at Qin Xuanji among the three, and said calmly, ”You! Come here!”

Qin Xuanji’s heart skipped a beat as he saw the elder pointing at him.

After hesitating for a moment, the oppressive spiritual power in the area grew stronger. His face darkened, and he could only brace himself and step forward, cupping his fists, ”I don’t know, Senior...”

Before he could finish speaking, an old hand clamped directly onto Qin Xuanji’s forehead, and a vast and boundless divine sense surged in like a torrent.

”Ah!!”

Qin Xuanji screamed in agony, his primordial spirit seemed to be ripped from his physical body, the pain was indescribable.

He tried to resist, but found that his spiritual power and primordial spirit were completely sealed, unable to move at all.

”Soul Searching Technique?”

The other two were horrified, the bear was about to wield a large hammer to take action, but Liu Yunjing quickly stopped him, preventing him from acting rashly.

To directly perform a Soul Searching Technique on someone at the initial stage of Divine Transformation, this person’s methods could only be described as earth-shattering.

Perhaps this elder was truly a being from the Upper Realm, and if they offended him, the entire sect would be doomed.

An hour later, the soul search was complete.

Mo Xingtian withdrew his hand, frowning deeply, lost in thought.

After a moment, he slowly said, ”To tell you the truth, this woman is an important person of the Jiang family, named Jiang Nine Phoenix.”

”My patience is limited. I give you one year to find her!”

”Any delay or concealment, and this mountain gate will be your fate!”

Mo Xingtian raised his hand and swung it, a massive handprint like Mount Tai descended from the heavens, crushing down with destructive void, turning the main gate of the Divine Puppet Sect into powder.

Even the space in that area was shattered with a single palm, turning into nothingness.

”Yes!”

The two were terrified, powerless to resist, and could only comply.

At the same time, they sent the dazed Qin Xuanji back.

Qin Xuanji’s life had always been precarious, breaking through to Divine Transformation amidst countless near-deaths, seizing a slim chance of survival, only to suffer a sudden calamity. It could only be said, such was fate.

…………

At the same time, similar events were happening across the Seven Stars.

On Sea Star, after a soul search, they immediately submitted, expressing their full commitment to the search.

Ming Star initially wanted to resist, but a formation was casually destroyed, along with a Divine Transformation Ancestor who fell instantly, like crushing an ant, leaving them no choice but to surrender.

Renwang Star, the largest in size, ranked top among the Seven Stars in terms of resources, population, and the number of powerful cultivators. Yet, Yan Dao Sect and Tianhen Sword Sect, recognizing the elder’s identity, proactively cooperated.

Heavenly Sand Star, needless to say, had its local population almost entirely massacred. Those who survived became vassals of the invaders, not daring to resist.

However, there was an unexpected turn of events in one place.

One of the Seven Stars, Flame Star.

Currently, Flame Star, with the Blood Refining Sect’s strong rise, had gained the title of the Seven Stars’ overlord, even faintly overshadowing Renwang Star.

The Fire Qilin Ancestor, who should have long since passed away, used a wave of plundered resources to perform a secret technique, extending his life by a hundred years. The Blood Refining Sect became the only super sect with two late-stage Divine Transformation cultivators, unrivaled in their prominence, and no one dared provoke them.

At this moment, the Fire Qilin Ancestor, nearing Great Perfection of Divine Transformation, sat within the sect, stabilizing his cultivation with the plundered essence blood.

When Elder Mo’s avatar arrived, the Fire Qilin Ancestor, though surprised, merely sneered, feigning cooperation.

As Mo approached, the Fire Qilin Ancestor turned hostile, activating the sect’s protective formation and transforming into the Blood Ancestor to engage in battle.

”A person from the Spirit Realm? If you want to target my Blood Refining Sect, you should come up with a better excuse. Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?” The Fire Qilin Ancestor sneered.

He believed that the Blood Refining Sect had offended too many people, and somehow provoked a hidden expert who wanted to teach them a lesson.

Unfortunately, this person chose the wrong opponent.

But soon, the Fire Qilin Ancestor could no longer laugh.

The techniques Mo displayed were beyond anything the mortal world could compare to. He casually threw out several third-turn divine abilities, along with various never-before-seen secret techniques, forcing the Fire Qilin Ancestor into a retreat, completely outmatched!

Though both were at similar realms, the gap in divine abilities was like heaven and earth!

However, the Blood Refining Sect, with its ancient inheritance, indeed had many trump cards. With the support of the protective formation, the two fought for a full hour. Ultimately, the Fire Qilin Ancestor detonated two magical treasures and burned thirty percent of his primordial spirit, finally defeating Mo’s avatar.

Yet, before the Fire Qilin Ancestor could catch his breath.

Merely three days later, three identical avatars of Mo arrived at the Blood Refining Sect’s mountain gate.

The three joined forces, directly killing the Fire Qilin Ancestor on the spot, extracting his blood soul completely, annihilating his form and spirit.

From then on, the Blood Refining Sect submitted.

…………

The shocking changes happening outside were unknown to the cultivators within Guanghan Palace.

The Flame Demon Ancestor’s blood soul command had been sent back, and logically, the Fire Qilin Ancestor should have emerged from seclusion by now, gathering forces and preparing to set out.

As soon as they joined forces, they could launch an attack, taking the Divine Continent Star within a day.

Therefore, the Flame Demon Ancestor was not in a hurry to act now.

Xu Hei emerged from his healing state, having refined most of the ghostly handprint on his back. Some Yin Sha Qi remained, like a bone-eating maggot, but it no longer affected him much.

After using the Ten-thousand-year Cold Marrow once, it was reduced by thirty percent, much of it absorbed by his Lunar Mystic Fire.

However, the Lunar Mystic Fire showed no change.

Such an unexpected situation left Xu Hei puzzled.
