Serpent Ancestor

Aside from the Wood Spirit Clan, which has some tricks up its sleeve, the Stone Spirit Clan is just a group of natives with brute physical strength but no combat strategy.

If you can’t break their defense, they’re indeed a tough nut to crack, but once you do, the Stone Spirit Clan is easily defeated. Their advantage in physical cultivation can’t be leveraged, and they’re riddled with weaknesses.

Qing Xuan’s setup is indeed impressive. Outside the Infernal Realm, there’s even an ambush, but unfortunately, they ran into two otherworldly beings defying the heavens.

The Flame Demon Ancestor didn’t want to stay even for a second and immediately fled, disappearing without a trace.

Xu Hei remained in place. After blasting away the group, he made no further moves, seemingly waiting for something.

The thorn-covered man was equally terrified, looking at his three companions who were either dead or crippled, and didn’t dare to advance.

”Where did this monster come from?”

”Such divine abilities, he doesn’t seem like someone from this world.”

”If I go up there, I’m just asking for death!”

The thorn-covered man stayed at a distance, neither daring to advance nor retreat, as if his feet were rooted to the ground.Xu Hei’s gaze was fixed on him, his body like a furnace, his aura surging like ocean waves, growing stronger, as if ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

In reality, Xu Hei’s attention wasn’t on him.

Time ticked by second by second.

The atmosphere was exceptionally heavy; no one spoke or made any further moves.

Xu Hei was the same.

”What’s going on? Why isn’t he moving? Could it be that his earlier attack was a desperate one, and now he’s out of energy?”

The thorn-covered man’s eyes flickered uncertainly, speculating whether Xu Hei was bluffing.

Time slowly passed.

Xu Hei was counting down in his mind, silently counting the numbers.

Three, two, one...

”The time has come!”

When he silently counted to one in his mind.

Suddenly, Xu Hei turned around, swinging out three Black Fire Meteors, hurling them towards the upper, middle, and lower sections of the miasma passage.

”Black Needle Ants, fire!”

At the same time, ten thousand Black Needle Ants hidden underground emerged, launching their tail needles towards that area.

The sound of wind breaking roared, countless black needles rained down like a storm, covering every area and every dead angle, leaving no room to move.

The Ten-thousand-year Cold Marrow was also activated by Xu Hei, freezing the sky and earth.

Xu Hei himself shot out like a cannonball, holding the Demon God Cauldron, charging towards the miasma restriction.

The miasma restriction had a passage opened by the Flame Demon Ancestor, which was the only way out from the inside.

In other words, if Night Sky wanted to come out, he had to take this path.

Xu Hei understood that the Shadow Clan was incredibly fast and had strong concealment abilities. Trying to kill Night Sky in an open area was almost impossible!

The opponent could easily hide in a corner, and with his limited divine sense, he couldn’t detect the opponent at all.

Old Tree’s divine sense was also limited, only able to vaguely sense a general area, and only after the opponent got close.

In such a situation, trying to kill Night Sky was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!

Conversely, if Night Sky wanted to attack him, it would be too easy. As long as he followed Xu Hei, Xu Hei would have to stay constantly alert, unable to eat or sleep in peace, let alone cultivate.

There was only one way to kill this person!

”Boom!!”

A thunderous explosion echoed through the miasma passage. Night Sky had just poked his head out when countless terrifying attacks landed on his face.

”Universe Escape Technique, Eight-character Lightning!”

Night Sky was shocked, his shadow splitting into eight, turning into eight black threads, darting out in different directions from the passage, like teleportation.

”Boom boom boom!”

The first wave was hit by Xu Hei’s Black Fire Meteors, extinguishing three threads. Then, they were swept by the dense rain of black needles, extinguishing two more.

One thread rushed into the Ten-thousand-year Cold Marrow area and was frozen, followed by countless black needles, killing another.

Of the last two threads, one wrapped into a ball, withstanding most of the attacks and shattering, while the other thread, like Ji Ying lightning, instantly broke through Xu Hei’s heavy killing formation.

”What speed!”

Even Xu Hei was stunned by his escape method.

Despite his thorough preparations, Night Sky managed to break through the encirclement, which was truly absurd.

Unfortunately, Xu Hei had one last trick.

”Demon God Cauldron, devour for me!”

Xu Hei focused on the last thread, and almost the moment it broke through the encirclement, the Demon God Cauldron flew out, concentrating all its devouring power on the thread.

”Boom!”

A terrifying suction descended, pulling the thread towards the Demon God Cauldron, a fierce wind arose, the earth trembled, and mountains shook.

”Impossible!!”

A terrified howl came from within the thread.

Under the devouring force, the thread was slowly being pulled towards the Demon God Cauldron. Xu Hei’s eyes were bloodshot, burning his primordial spirit, fully activating the Demon God Cauldron, determined not to let him escape!

”Now I’m in my strongest form, and with my primordial spirit burning, I refuse to believe you can escape!”

Xu Hei spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the Demon God Cauldron, using the simplest and most brutal method to devour his opponent.

A few breaths later.

”Ahhh!!”

With a shrill scream, the black thread was sucked into the Demon God Cauldron and sealed inside.

Xu Hei, holding the Demon God Cauldron, descended from the sky, staring at the black thread inside the cauldron.

The thin black thread was crashing around like a trapped shadow, sometimes turning into a dagger, sometimes a spear, sometimes a saw, changing endlessly, but unable to break free from the Demon God Cauldron’s constraints.

The Shadow Clan was truly a fascinating life form, one Xu Hei had never encountered before.

But at this moment, he wasn’t in the mood for research.

”Refine for me!” Xu Hei shouted.

Once inside the Demon God Cauldron, no matter what kind of demon or ghost, or what species of creature, it could all be refined clean.

In the blink of an eye, the thin black shadow began to emit wisps of black gas, as if evaporating.

”No! What kind of magical treasure is this? How can it harm my essence? This is impossible!”

The black shadow quickly transformed into a terrified human face, the face of Night Sky.

”Could it be a divine object of heaven and earth?”

”No! Xu Hei, stop! It was all Qing Xuan’s idea, it has nothing to do with me!”

”...Xu Hei, if you let me go, I can tell you all the secrets I know.”

No matter how Night Sky pleaded, Xu Hei turned a deaf ear. He simply sealed the Demon God Cauldron, accelerating the refining process.

Meanwhile, the thorn-covered man in the distance was dumbfounded.

”What just happened?”

He was completely bewildered.

With his divine sense, he naturally couldn’t see Night Sky’s presence, as if Xu Hei was attacking the air.

But the methods Xu Hei displayed truly terrified him.

Those countless Black Needle Ants, those three instant fireballs, and that bizarre cauldron, all exceeded his wildest imagination.

If these divine abilities were used on him, what would be the outcome?

He would surely die without a trace.
