Serpent Ancestor

The entire scene unfolded too quickly.

No one had time to react to what was happening before the elder at the Great Perfection of the Elemental Infant stage simply vanished!

His magical treasure was still in his hand, and he hadn’t even had time to activate his defensive runes—or perhaps he had, but his physical body disappeared along with them.

”What happened?”

”Where is he?”

Everyone was struck with terror, retreating in shock, their eyes fixed on Xu Hei, their hearts filled with tumultuous waves.

If there had been any lingering scent of blood, they might have thought the elder had been hidden by some illusion.

”You just said you killed Xiong Kang?”

Wang Feiyan asked in horror, ”No way! You’re lying. How could you have memories of the Void Realm? What divine ability did you just use?”

Xu Hei glanced at her.”Divine ability? This divine ability is called the Human Disappearance Technique!”

Xu Hei struck again, a seemingly ordinary slap aimed at Wang Feiyan.

The fear in Wang Feiyan’s heart had reached its peak, and the signal of danger made her entire body tremble with the crisis of death!

She immediately summoned three Divine Transformation stage decrees, each carrying different laws. The three laws emerged simultaneously, blocking the front. At the same time, she used her divine sense to summon her master, the Blood Knife Patriarch, to possess her.

Simultaneously, Wang Feiyan burned her life essence blood, activating the fifth-tier magical treasure, the Blood Demon Armor, and retreated explosively, pushing her strength to the limit in just a breath, all in an attempt to escape.

”Boom!!”

A terrifying shockwave spread out, and before Wang Feiyan could even scream, Xu Hei’s slap descended, causing her body to vanish from head to toe, turning into dust.

”Pa—!!”

Xu Hei’s slap, after eliminating the woman, also struck the ground, creating a massive handprint on the once uneven earth, deeply embedded and perfectly aligned, an awe-inspiring sight.

The fierce wind swept out, killing five elders who were trying to escape.

And the cause of all this was merely a single slap!

Xu Hei hadn’t used his full strength. Even on the outer battlefield, he held back, yet even so, the result was astonishingly exaggerated!

”Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...”

At this moment, dozens of figures flew in from afar, all cultivators from the Blood Refining Sect stationed in the Central Plains.

Most of them were stuck at the Great Perfection of the Elemental Infant stage, unable to break through, but they were Divine Transformation seeds with extraordinary means and formidable strength, not to be underestimated.

But when they saw the handprint on the ground, they all gasped in shock.

”Should we proceed?”

Someone raised this question.

”Since you’re here, stay!”

Xu Hei looked at the Blood Refining Sect cultivators in the distance, raised his finger, and pointed through the air. The dense force compressed at his fingertip, then shot out.

This was just a basic application of the White Emperor Sutra: compression and ejection.

”Swish!!”

The energy pierced through the heavens, sweeping across the Blood Refining Sect cultivators in the distance, hitting them precisely.

Immediately, the person disappeared without a trace, not even leaving dust, turned into powder by the finger.

”Run!!”

Everyone was so frightened their souls nearly flew away, scattering in all directions.

”Kill!”

Although Hai Teng had lost his memories of the Void Realm, seeing Xu Hei in action, he instinctively let out a roar, a resounding dragon’s roar sweeping out. The group of people who had just fled were reduced to nothingness.

”Excuse me, coming through.”

Han Te moved like a flash of lightning, and when he reappeared, he had several storage rings and bags in his hands.

They had no resistance, utterly crushed.

Some of them, before dying, unleashed trump cards comparable to Divine Transformation combat power, some were possessed by ancestral spirits, and some summoned ancestral spirits to descend.

In terms of trump cards and ultimate moves, they were much stronger than in the past.

But it was all useless; they couldn’t even hold on for a single breath, couldn’t even call for help, couldn’t even inform the Blood Refining Sect elders of what had happened here.

In an instant, this group of Blood Refining Sect cultivators was completely annihilated, not a single one left!

Witnessing such a terrifying scene, the remaining cultivators from the other three sects were so frightened their legs went weak, their limbs trembling.

Undoubtedly, these three were Divine Transformation cultivators, the top-tier powerhouses among the Divine Transformation, standing at the pinnacle of the Seven Stars.

How did they get in?

”This... senior, you...”

The cultivator from the Ancient Tomb Sect had just opened his mouth when Xu Hei blew him into ashes with a breath.

Almost forgot, the Ancient Tomb Sect was also an enemy of his.

Thus, the Blood Refining Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect had disappeared, leaving only two from the Tianhen Sword Sect and two from the Yan Dao Sect.

”I remember now, you are...”

Suddenly, the disciple from the Tianhen Sword Sect stared at Xu Hei, seemingly recalling something, his face changing.

”Oh? What do you remember?”

Xu Hei smiled slightly, looking at the person.

The young disciple’s expression froze, then he shook his head, ”No, I mistook you for someone else.”

”Mistook?”

Xu Hei sneered, raising his hand to point.

”No!!”

The voice had just emerged when it was abruptly cut off. The person, along with the elder beside him, was turned into ashes by Xu Hei’s point.

Since he recognized him, Xu Hei couldn’t let him leave to report back.

He didn’t want his presence to be exposed too early.

Huang Shuer and the other Yan Dao Sect elder remained silent, keeping their heads down, not even daring to look up, retracting their divine sense entirely, maintaining it within a three-meter radius.

What shouldn’t be seen, they didn’t see; what shouldn’t be thought of, they didn’t think.

Otherwise, it would invite disaster!

These two were quite smart. The moment Xu Hei appeared, Huang Shuer quickly divined her fate, determining her path to survival: don’t look, don’t think, don’t act rashly.

”Tell me about the situation outside. If you perform well, I might spare your lives,” Xu Hei said calmly.

Huang Shuer didn’t look up, still calculating with her fingers, then exhaled and said, ”Fifty years ago, the Blood Refining Sect received substantial support from Spirit Realm cultivators, began developing in secret, absorbing resources, and in a very short time, cultivated over a dozen Divine Transformation cultivators, two at the Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation stage, perfectly compensating for the loss of the Fire Qilin Ancestor...”

Huang Shuer detailed the events of the fifty years Xu Hei had been absent.

Xu Hei, Hai Teng, and Han Te all listened intently.

Han Te remained expressionless.

Hai Teng’s face was ashen, fists clenched, trembling with anger.

Xu Hei showed no emotional fluctuations, but it was evident that his gaze was cold as frost, with a brewing killing intent.

Especially when he learned that the Divine Continent Star had been invaded, over ninety percent of the land had fallen, and countless lives had been exterminated.

The space around Xu Hei distorted, and gravity intensified.

”Our Yan Dao Sect maintained a neutral stance, withdrew external forces, and returned entirely to the sect, not participating in battles or alliances, only seeking self-preservation.”

When speaking of the Yan Dao Sect’s stance, Huang Shuer hesitated for a moment, then seemed to make a decision, gritting her teeth and speaking truthfully.

”Later, after calculations by our sect’s Ancestor Huang Tiancheng, our sect did take action.”
