Serpent Ancestor

Under the command of the Canglan Immortal Lord, there were five great Demon-Suppressing Commanders.

If they were alive, any one of these five could crush Xu Hei with just a finger, but they had all become corpses.

Moreover, on the Outer Battlefield, everyone’s cultivation was suppressed below the Divine Transformation stage.

Even if they had extraordinary abilities in life, they could only exert a fraction of their power.

”Hey, what kind of opponents are these? I can’t handle even a bit,” Han Te said with a sheepish smile, cold sweat dripping down his face.

”Fight, exhilarating!” Hai Teng’s eyes burned with excitement.

Xu Hei, however, wore a solemn expression. In his palm appeared the pattern of a Golden Lotus, a mark left by the Lotus True Monarch.

”Senior Lian Hua, do you still recognize this?” Xu Hei shouted.

But this time, the Lotus True Monarch had lost all sense of reason. With a wave of her sleeve, countless golden rays transformed into sharp threads, shooting towards all of Xu Hei’s acupoints. If hit, they would instantly seal all of Xu Hei’s Spiritual Power.

At the same time, the other Demon-Suppressing Commanders also made their moves, summoning various Magical Treasures. In an instant, a dazzling array of lights illuminated the ground, and the space rippled with destructive waves....

Deep within the mountain.

Here lay a hidden tomb chamber, the resting place of the Tomb Elder.

As the battle erupted outside, the Tomb Elder suddenly opened his eyes, a glimmer of vitality appearing in his once lifeless pupils.

”The day has finally come!”

The Tomb Elder flicked his finger, and the remaining essence within his body rapidly drained, concentrating at his fingertip. He drew a peculiar swirling rune in the air.

This swirling rune spun rapidly in mid-air, transforming into a unique symbol, infinitely complex, as if countless fragments of memory were merging within.

It was the Great Dream Imprint of the Canglan Immortal Lord.

”Back then, the Canglan Immortal Lord left me this final trump card, the Great Dream Imprint. This imprint records the life of every participating cultivator, depicted in the form of dreams.”

”Once the Great Dream Imprint is activated, it can embed the dream into everyone’s sea of consciousness, awakening all the obliterated remnants one by one.”

”The revival of remnants, the suppression of demons, this is the Canglan Immortal Lord’s last safeguard, and the reason I have remained conscious and not been assimilated.”

Such thoughts flashed through the Tomb Elder’s mind.

After endless ages, even the clearest memory could be worn away, giving the Inner Demon an opportunity.

The five great Demon-Suppressing Commanders, how firm were their minds? Yet even they were demonized.

The Tomb Elder relied on the Great Dream Imprint, repeatedly experiencing the dream, strengthening his memory, thus maintaining his true self.

Even his extraterrestrial demon replica failed to discover the secret of the Great Dream Imprint. It was left by the Canglan Immortal Lord himself, erasing the heavenly secrets, only to be activated at the most perilous moment.

”The seal has loosened by more than ninety-nine percent, and the remnants within the tombstones have been mostly erased. At most, after two more groups, the extraterrestrial demons will break free!”

”It’s time to act!”

The Tomb Elder took a deep breath, his remaining essence rapidly declining, pouring into the Great Dream Imprint.

”Buzz buzz buzz...”

Waves of invisible ripples emanated from the Great Dream Imprint.

In an instant.

The five great Demon-Suppressing Commanders, who were about to make their move outside, suddenly froze, familiar yet strange images appearing in their minds.

Like a dream, like an illusion, torrents of information flooded into everyone’s sea of consciousness.

In a daze, they saw a figure standing atop the clouds, holding the Imperial Seal, overlooking the heavens.

It was the Canglan Immortal Lord!

”Tomb, I appoint you as the Grand Marshal of Demon Suppression. Immediately lead the five commanders to the Northern Cold Region to suppress the evil demons and expel the demon disaster, without fail!”

The majestic voice of the Canglan Immortal Lord faintly echoed in their ears.

”Tomb accepts the command!”

The Tomb Elder knelt on one knee, accepting the Immortal Lord’s decree.

This marked the beginning of the demon disaster campaign in the Northern Cold Region.

Subsequently, the long, dream-like memories quickly digested in their minds, and a glimmer of light returned to their once hollow eyes.

In the tombstones that had long been purged of obsession, new consciousnesses were awakened.

One consciousness connected to another, one after another, gradually forming a vast network, boundless, spanning the heavens.

It was the obsession of all cultivators to seal the evil demons!

As the obsession grew stronger and stronger, it had already formed a towering array, reflecting on every inch of the Void Realm!

”This is... the Great Dream Path of the Canglan Immortal Lord!”

The Tomb Elder atop the mountain, his pupils suddenly contracted, a look of indescribable shock flashing through his eyes.

”How is this possible! How could he have such a contingency?!”

The Tomb Elder’s voice carried intense panic and unwillingness. He raised his hand and pressed down, the bodies of the five great Demon-Suppressing Commanders slowly moving.

But the obsession of these five was extremely strong. Awakened by the Great Dream Imprint, they refused to be manipulated by the Inner Demon, their eyes bloodshot.

”Demon, don’t even think about controlling our bodies!”

Qin Wentian soared into the sky, his physical body transforming into a true Orient Loong God, soaring through the nine heavens, opening its giant mouth, and spewing a blue dragon flame beam towards the Tomb Elder.

Jiang Yunli summoned meteor fire phoenixes, each the size of a meteorite, hurling them at the Tomb Elder.

”Return to me!”

The Tomb Elder’s hand gesture changed, and the bodies of the five were uncontrollably sent flying back to their respective tombs.

The Orient Loong God Commander, Rosefinch Commander, Basalt Commander, and Qilin Commander all transformed into streams of light, returning the way they came. Their obsession was strong, but not stronger than the endless years of the extraterrestrial demons’ refinement.

Only one remained unaffected for the time being.

The White Tiger Commander, Lian Hua.

The laws of the Lotus True Monarch inherently had the effect of purifying evil, invulnerable to all evils, greatly restraining such demons. Furthermore, she had been demonized for the shortest time and was the only one who had ever broken free from the control of the extraterrestrial demons.

Under the influence of the Great Dream Imprint, Lian Hua recalled her past memories. She exhaled, gazing at Xu Hei, and said, ”Xu Hei, the Canglan Immortal Lord’s contingency has been activated. The seal here will be reinforced once more. You have ample time to report this matter.”

Xu Hei shook his head with a bitter smile, ”No wonder you were at ease entrusting the task to me. So you had a contingency plan.”

Xu Hei’s time was too short.

In just a hundred years, let alone meeting the Canglan Immortal Lord, even ascending was a big question.

At the current pace of the seal’s breaking, the extraterrestrial demons might break free before Xu Hei ascends, causing a demon disaster in the mortal realm.

Lian Hua said, ”The Canglan Immortal Lord calculated all possibilities, including separating the Dark Star and leaving me as a seed.”

”The only thing I didn’t expect was that the one coming from the Dark Star would be you.”
