Serpent Ancestor

”If I return empty-handed, my fate won’t be any better than Elder Mo’s.”

Countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Bufan’s mind, his gaze growing even more frenzied.

He had ascended from the mortal realm, advancing step by step to where he was now, having faced countless dangers, even more daunting than this.

If he were to lose to a group of cultivators from the mortal realm, what right would he have to stand in the Jiang family of the Spirit Realm? What right would he have to continue living?

Jiang Bufan, he was destined to be extraordinary.

”Boom!!”

Jiang Bufan ignited his primordial spirit, his entire body engulfed in flames. The thunder tribulation from the sky descended, yet it could no longer approach him by even an inch, exploding into nothingness a thousand feet away.

Jiang Bufan’s aura surged, surpassing the initial stage of Void Shattering, stepping toward a higher level, with his spiritual power pressure also skyrocketing.

The suppression of the laws had finally arrived!

Jiang Bufan had always kept his cultivation suppressed at the initial stage of Void Shattering. Whether it was divine abilities or magical treasures, he limited their power to avoid exceeding this boundary, all to evade the suppression of the laws.At this moment, he no longer concealed it, releasing it freely.

”Buzz!!”

The Five Elemental Heavenly Corpses within the Thousand Mechanisms Grand Formation were summoned by an even stronger force, all of them violently agitating, the chains sealing them emitting cracking sounds, as if they could no longer bear it and were about to break.

”Indeed, as someone who ascended from the mortal realm, I can somewhat avoid the suppression of the laws.”

Jiang Bufan continuously unleashed his cultivation, finally elevating to the mid-stage of Void Shattering.

However, his primordial spirit had already burned about thirty percent, the price for forcibly elevating his cultivation and resisting the suppression of the laws.

As Jiang Bufan’s cultivation increased, the Five Elemental Heavenly Corpses became even more violent, to the point where even the Thousand Mechanisms Grand Formation could no longer suppress them.

”I admit, I underestimated you. Any one of you four could achieve great things in the Spirit Realm, but alas.”

Jiang Bufan stopped wasting words and charged towards Gongshu Zi, his target clear: to first destroy the Thousand Mechanisms Grand Formation and release the Five Elemental Heavenly Corpses.

…………

Divine Puppet Sect, forbidden grounds of the sect.

After absorbing enough heavenly tribulation and devouring the true spirit of the Heavenly Phoenix, the Demon God Cauldron suddenly released a surge of pure energy, spreading throughout Xu Hei’s primordial spirit.

Beneath the earth, a wisp of powder floated up, settling near Xu Hei’s primordial spirit.

More and more powder gathered, forming a skeleton, which was the dragon bone Xu Hei cultivated.

Then, blood beads appeared, and meridians grew within the skeleton, transforming into ten dragon veins, interwoven throughout the body, forming a framework.

Next, dragon blood infused the body, dragon flesh grew, dragon skin covered it, and dragon scales emerged piece by piece.

Xu Hei’s shattered body was visibly recovering, and at the same time, a brand new aura of pressure was released from within him.

”Boom!!”

Like a volcanic eruption, a tsunami roared, and a deafening explosion erupted from within Xu Hei. Torrential true essence poured out from the Demon God Cauldron, flooding into Xu Hei’s dragon veins, causing his cultivation to soar, reaching higher realms.

Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Elemental Infant, Divine Transformation...

Upon reaching the peak of Divine Transformation, the ascending aura did not stop, continuing forward.

Nine streams of Dragon Qi returned from the void world, rushing into Xu Hei’s dragon veins, converging at the center. At this moment, Xu Hei’s primordial spirit underwent a transformation, elevating his physical body, finally breaking through that crucial step.

Void Refinement Realm!

The Nine Transformations of the True Dragon, Nine Dragons Unite, refining the spirit and returning to the void, Xu Hei thus broke through to a brand new realm, becoming a legendary ascended cultivator!

”Hei Huang, Xu Bai, Gongshu Zi, Tian Jizi, and Han Te...”

Xu Hei opened his eyes, his gaze able to penetrate the void, seeing the distant battlefield, his consciousness able to merge into the earth at any moment, switching to the perspective of the Divine Continent Star.

This was unlike any other ascended cultivator.

What Xu Hei learned was the ancient cultivation method, emphasizing the Unity of Heaven and Man, divine wandering in the void, his divine sense able to traverse space, seeing through the essence.

His form transformed into a dark golden dragon, with horns on his head, claws on his abdomen, and a pair of wings on his back.

The scales on his body were heavy, each one as solid as a mountain, his breath long and enduring, each inhale and exhale like mountains breathing, like volcanoes brewing.

”This is the sixth layer of the White Emperor Sutra.”

Xu Hei exhaled a breath of turbid air, the stream of air piercing through the space ahead, creating a large hole leading directly to the outside world.

The Nine Transformations of the True Dragon helped him refine the spirit and return to the void, achieving the Void Refinement Realm.

The White Emperor Sutra strengthened his physical body to the same extent.

Reconstructing the physical body, breaking and then establishing, at this moment, Xu Hei’s physical body was stronger than before his seated transformation!

”Boom!!”

Xu Hei vanished from his original spot, rushing towards the battlefield ahead.

…………

At this moment, Jiang Bufan raised the Heavenly Phoenix Tower high, smashing it down from the heavens onto the Thousand Mechanisms Grand Formation, causing the formation to crack with a series of snapping sounds, all the puppets on it showing fractures.

Even with thousands of puppets working together to block, they couldn’t stop Jiang Bufan and the Five Elemental Heavenly Corpses, attacking from inside and outside.

A formation from the mortal realm, achieving such a feat, was truly astonishing.

”If this formation were placed in the Spirit Realm, it would surely achieve great fame, but alas!”

Jiang Bufan sighed.

Gongshu Zi, capable of creating such a formation, his talent was unparalleled in Jiang Bufan’s life, but he couldn’t afford to lose the watermelon for the sesame. For the Demon God Cauldron, he could only destroy it. No matter how talented, it must be stifled!

Jiang Bufan burned his primordial spirit, raising the Heavenly Phoenix Tower, preparing to smash it down once more.

Tian Jizi’s hand gestures changed, but his face turned pale, blood spurting from the corner of his mouth, already at his limit.

Hei Huang and Xu Bai were also at the end of their strength. Hei Huang had delayed for so long, Xu Bai had saved so many people, they had long since exhausted their strength.

As for Han Te, he had long since disappeared without a trace.

”Die!”

Jiang Bufan’s eyes were blood-red, having given everything to win, even if it meant death, he would seize the Demon God Cauldron!

”Clang!!”

Suddenly, a massive figure appeared in front, blocking the strike of the Heavenly Phoenix Tower, directly lifting it up.

At that moment, the entire scene fell silent.

Jiang Bufan looked at the massive shadow before him, his pupils shrinking, eyes filled with deep shock.

Everyone else’s gaze also turned to the suddenly appearing figure.

This figure came too quickly, almost like teleportation, with no one noticing his movement trajectory, arriving right in front.

His entire body was dark gold, stretching a thousand feet long, body like steel, scales like mountains, claws like sharp blades, eyes like stars.

They had never seen such a massive creature.

This was a dragon!

”A flood dragon? No, how could a flood dragon be so enormous!”

The cultivators in the distance were all dumbfounded.

The four Superior Immortals present focused their gaze on that figure, and in their minds, the image of an old acquaintance surfaced simultaneously.
