Serpent Ancestor

The noisy surroundings fell silent in an instant, and everyone stopped what they were doing.

The cultivators from the Divine Puppet Sect and the Blood Refining Sect on the battlefield all halted, looking up at the sky with indescribable shock in their eyes.

High above, like a deity, was the Spirit Realm cultivator, Jiang Bufan, unmatched by anyone!

Yet, Xu Hei had reduced him to nothingness with a single punch and kick in front of everyone.

They could hardly imagine such an outrageous event happening before their eyes.

The destruction of the Divine Continent Star seemed inevitable, but who could have predicted such a shocking reversal? The fortune of the Divine Continent Star was truly defying the heavens.

Xu Hei’s gaze shifted to the distant red clouds.

On the clouds stood many cultivators from the Blood Refining Sect.

They had brought their families and various magical treasures, intending to perform a blood sacrifice on the spot after destroying the Divine Puppet Sect to seize its fortune.

But now, this group of cultivators looked as if they had been struck by lightning, their bodies and souls trembling.The clouds retreated continuously, and Xu Hei’s gaze was cold as he raised his hand, clenched his fist, and said, ”Since you’re here, stay!”

”Boom, boom, boom...”

Invisible energy surged forth, crushing the Blood Refining Sect cultivators on the clouds from a distance.

With a wave of Xu Hei’s hand, a swarm of insects swept out, charging into the red clouds and unleashing a frenzy of slaughter.

For the invading Blood Refining Sect cultivators, this was undoubtedly a catastrophe.

Victory or defeat, survival of the fittest, is the iron law of this world.

If Xu Hei hadn’t broken through, or if there had been one less Superior Immortal, the Divine Puppet Sect would have faced eternal damnation. Conversely, it was the end for the Blood Refining Sect.

Screams and pleas for mercy echoed everywhere, with cultivators occasionally self-destructing or launching desperate counterattacks, but under Xu Hei’s strong suppression, such resistance couldn’t stir even a ripple.

In less than half an incense stick’s time, over a thousand invading Blood Refining Sect cultivators on the Divine Continent Star were completely annihilated.

Every Blood Refining Sect cultivator who came here had blood on their hands, their murderous aura shocking, but now, they were all dead.

Every insect was stained with blood, absorbing the murderous aura of the Blood Refining Sect cultivators, turning their bodies crimson.

Xu Hei didn’t observe further and collected all the spirit insects.

”Hmph, a few escaped, but as long as they’re within this mortal realm, it doesn’t matter where they run!” Xu Hei’s gaze was fierce.

Just now, during his battle with Jiang Bufan, several high-ranking members of the Blood Refining Sect, seeing the situation turn unfavorable, turned and fled, even using a teleportation array, making it impossible to stop them.

But now, Xu Hei had reached the Void Shattering Stage, and no matter how far they fled, even if they hid within the sun, Xu Hei could find them.

Xu Hei exhaled and looked at the people below.

No words could express Xu Hei’s feelings at this moment. Without these people, he couldn’t imagine what fate the Divine Continent Star would face, or what situation he himself would be in.

No matter what grievances they had before, at this moment, it no longer mattered.

”The kindness of everyone, Xu will remember for a lifetime. If there is any need in the future, Xu will not hesitate to die a thousand deaths.” Xu Hei clasped his fists toward the crowd.

If Xu Hei hadn’t provoked the Spirit Realm cultivator, the Divine Continent Star wouldn’t have ended up in such a situation.

Xu Hei felt both gratitude and shame, and at the same time, he was reflecting.

But fate cannot be hypothesized. What has been done, he need not regret. If given another chance, he would still strike down Jiang Liuyu.

Cultivation is inherently going against the heavens.

With danger comes opportunity, and if one can survive the peril, vast horizons and great benefits await.

How is this different from a cultivator crossing a tribulation?

After overcoming this tribulation, the Divine Continent Star will have no opponents in the future.

”Not hesitating to die a thousand deaths, you said it!” Hei Huang’s eyes lit up, speaking excitedly.

”We merely did what we could to seek a chance of survival,” Tian Jizi replied.

”Elder Xu, there’s no need to be polite. You saved the sect from disaster; I should be the one thanking you,” Gongshu Zi said.

”Being alive is good enough,” Xu Bai smiled gently, not saying much, only hoping for peace.

At this moment, Gongshu Zi sat cross-legged, the intent in his eyes slowly dissipating, and the golden puppet became dull and lifeless.

His true self had long since perished, leaving only a remnant of his consciousness.

To have fought until now was the utmost effort he could muster.

The others all looked toward him.

Gongshu Zi said, ”Jiang Bufan is dead, but I cannot control this Five Elemental Heavenly Corpse.”

”The intelligence of the Five Elemental Heavenly Corpse has been destroyed, but the spiritual power contained within it is extremely strong, only suppressed to the initial stage of Void Shattering by the laws. I suspect the true grade of this Five Elemental Heavenly Corpse is at the Great Perfection of Void Shattering.”

”Great Perfection of Void Shattering...”

Everyone was stunned.

From the previous encounters, they could all sense that the Five Elemental Heavenly Corpse was not simple, yet they still underestimated the strength of these corpses.

At this moment, the head of the Five Elemental Heavenly Corpse was shattered, leaving only a headless body, but the power of the Five Elemental Laws intermingled without showing any signs of weakening.

Having lost Jiang Bufan as a controller, it did not become an ownerless object, as any divine sense approaching it would be devoured.

Even Gongshu Zi, a master of puppets, could not refine it, making such a judgment not without reason.

To deal with this realm, the Jiang family truly spared no expense.

Xu Hei also attempted to probe with his divine sense.

Sure enough, as soon as his divine sense approached, it was silently annihilated.

Xu Hei walked up to the Metal Elemental Heavenly Corpse, raised his hand, and pointed a finger.

”Swish!”

A white light flashed, the ultimate compressed true essence of Xu Hei, yet it only left a small hole on the Metal Elemental Heavenly Corpse.

But as the Five Elemental Light flowed, the hole was immediately repaired.

”What a solid physical body,” Xu Hei thought in shock.

In terms of physical toughness, this Five Elemental Heavenly Corpse surpassed even Jiang Bufan.

Using this in the mortal realm severely limited its power, but it didn’t mean the Five Elemental Heavenly Corpse’s potential was only this.

If it could be used for his own purposes, it would surely become a powerful trump card in the future!

Xu Hei pondered briefly and took out an ancient storage ring left by Jiang Bufan, engraved with the character ”Jiang.”

Xu Hei had tried to open this storage ring, but no matter what, it wouldn’t open. The divine sense imprint on it was like an ocean, with no sign of being refined.

Even if there was a slight progress, Xu Hei would persist without hesitation, but there was none.

The storage rings of the Jiang family, even if lost, were difficult to open.

”It’s a pity, this person had a void warship, faster than the Star Compass. If it could be used for my own purposes, it would be great,” Xu Hei sighed inwardly.

He had seen the void warship, not only fast but also capable of launching attacks, with amazing defense, making Xu Hei envious.

He could only place it in the Demon God Cauldron in the future, slowly grinding it with time to see if the divine sense imprint could be erased.

”Gongshu Zi, do you have any last words?”

Hei Huang walked up to Gongshu Zi, arms crossed, and said, ”The current sect master is dead, and you’re about to pass away too. It’s a pity there’s no successor for the Thousand Mechanisms Grand Formation. How about this, give me some benefits, and I can take care of the Thousand Mechanisms Grand Formation for you.”
