Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Leave now, or die!”

Who would have thought, just as these people believed in their numbers and began to jeer collectively, they saw the simple-clad youth’s face gradually turn icy, ultimately uttering these five words with a cold voice.

”You...”

Upon hearing these five words, the face of the middle-aged man who spoke earlier froze slightly, seemingly wanting to say something more, but in the end, he didn’t dare utter a sound.

It seemed he finally remembered that this guy in front of them was the audacious person who wasn’t even afraid of the Emperor Canglong Palace or Dark Assassination. If he truly enraged him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If someone dared to kill people from the Emperor Canglong Palace, what would they do to loose cultivators like them?

The middle-aged man wasn’t a fool; earlier, he only dared to speak up because Yun Xiao hadn’t shown any anger. Now, how could he dare to be the one to stand out?

Not to mention, the middle-aged man believed that if he dared to speak up again, the next thing waiting for him might just be the same fate as Lou Liheng and Li Xuefu.

”Sigh, let’s go!”

Eventually, the many cultivators sighed in unison. Although they felt extremely unwilling, the situation was stronger than people, and in the end, no one dared to be confrontational again. After all, that terrifying youth was still watching them coldly.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

It took only a moment for the sky, which was previously bustling with shadows, to become empty. Countless cultivators scattered like birds and beasts, allowing Nangong Xiaofeng to once again witness the dominance of this simply clothed youth.

Of course, this dominance was established on real, formidable strength. If Yun Xiao hadn’t demonstrated his formidable might by consecutively killing three Heavenly Realm Late Stage experts earlier, would these greedy folks have known when to retreat?

”Finally, some peace!”

Seeing the sky around him becoming empty, Yun Xiao turned his head and chuckled lightly, then said nothing more, only turning his gaze to that mysterious place below.

There, among the scattered branches and wood, aside from a few corpses and some flesh, there seemed to be nothing amiss. However, only those who had witnessed its peril earlier knew that it wasn’t a place just anyone could enter.

If the living were to enter forcibly, they would trigger countless golden beams of light, and by then, being cut into pieces would truly be a cry of despair.

”Brother Yun Xiao, do I need to do anything?”

Seeing Yun Xiao surveying the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array below, Nangong Xiaofeng couldn’t help but ask, his trust in the former now having reached an unparalleled level, not even needing to think much himself.

”You just stand here, ready yourself with the Nangong family’s bloodline and the Gong Jinzhu, and act according to my instructions!”

Yun Xiao did not turn his head but simply kept his gaze seriously focused on the strange open ground below, contemplating certain changes in the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array, speaking softly, already having some clues.

Whoosh!

Yun Xiao’s figure moved slightly, darting downward. If the onlooking cultivators saw this, their hearts might be filled with a bit of delight.

After all, they had earlier witnessed live people entering that mysterious range and being sliced into pieces by countless golden lights. Although this youth was powerful, slaying Heavenly Realm Late Stage experts like chickens, those terrifying golden lights were not necessarily something he could withstand.

Back in the day, the Nangong family was the leader of the four top families, with many Holy Rank Third Realm experts in the clan. The restrictions set in this precious hidden treasure’s place were not so simple.

Earlier, those cultivators had every reason to believe that these restrictions might not even be easily broken by Holy Rank Third Realm experts, let alone a Heavenly Realm Middle Stage youth.

Yet, what those cultivators didn’t know was that this simply-clad youth in front of them was not only extremely familiar with the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array but also possessed the inherited memories of the Long Xiao Battle God from years past.

Although Yun Xiao in his previous life did not have Meridian Refining Technique as exceptional as his array formation skills, he was still a Holy Rank Advanced Array Master. But after being reincarnated, due to the limitations of his strength, many arrays couldn’t be performed.

Let’s not forget that the Nangong family specializes in Gold Attribute Techniques, so it was evident that this Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array was also a Gold Attribute Technique, which significantly increased the chances of Yun Xiao’s success.

All this was thanks to the Gold Attribute Ancestor Vein within Yun Xiao, which had once refined a petal of the Gold Extreme Fire, making its power much stronger than the other ancestor veins.

The Gold Extreme Fire is the most concentrated Gold Attribute in Chaos Fire. With such a divine artifact in his possession, Yun Xiao’s confidence undoubtedly far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators, even those like Lou Liheng and Li Xuefu.

Under the watch of Nangong Xiaofeng, Yun Xiao moved extremely fast and quickly descended to about a zhang above the ground. At this moment, as if triggering some mechanism, a sudden change occurred.

Swish, swish, swish...

The sound of rushing wind echoed as streaks of golden light burst forth from the ground, surging towards Yun Xiao like a torrential storm, seemingly without any pattern.

”Be careful!”

Above, Nangong Xiaofeng, despite having confidence in Yun Xiao, couldn’t help but voice his warning upon seeing the terrifying golden lights, then watched as the lights completely enveloped the coarse-clothed figure below.

”This...”

Witnessing this scene, Nangong Xiaofeng’s body involuntarily trembled slightly, a trace of worry surging forth. He thought, even if his brother Yun Xiao’s physical strength was formidable, could he withstand the slicing of countless golden lights?

The gold attribute power is the sharpest among the Five Elements, and these golden lights, transformed by the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array, could slice through even the toughest iron and stone, let alone a human body.

With the countless golden lights shrouding the figure, Nangong Xiaofeng couldn’t discern the situation of the coarse-clothed young man. He feared that when the light dissipated, all that might be left to see would be pieces of flesh falling to the ground, a complete joke.

”Hmm?”

After about fifteen minutes, Nangong Xiaofeng finally felt a glimmer of joy, because despite the time passed, the golden lights enveloping Yun Xiao showed no sign of dispersing.

As time passed, the numerous golden lights seemed to lose their attack power, swirling around Yun Xiao like a shimmering golden cocoon from a distance.

If anyone could see through the dazzling golden light to Yun Xiao’s true form inside, they would find at this moment, he too had streaks of golden light radiating from him, intertwining with the golden light from the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array.

Clearly, Yun Xiao was activating his Gold Attribute Ancestor Vein, and with the power of the Gold Extreme Fire, the energy from the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array felt a certain kinship.

The Gold Extreme Fire is the sovereign of all gold attribute energies. Although the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array had long reached the Holy Rank Level, and its emitted golden light far exceeded what any Heavenly Rank Third Realm cultivator could withstand, Yun Xiao was an exception.

Given Yun Xiao’s understanding of the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array, even if Nangong Xiaofeng bore the bloodline of the Nangong Family and wielded the Gong Jinzhu, his cultivation level was too low, only at the Heavenly Realm Middle Stage.

With such cultivation, no matter how advantageous his conditions were, forcibly entering the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array would only lead to being sliced to death by countless golden lights.

What Yun Xiao was doing now was striving to absorb some of the gold attribute energy within the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array, to bring it to a level that Nangong Xiaofeng could withstand.

One could say that, aside from Yun Xiao, no other Heavenly Realm cultivator in the world could achieve this because they might not have the Gold Attribute Ancestor Vein, and even if they did, could it match the power of the Gold Extreme Fire?

This seemingly perilous action, to others, was actually a fortuitous encounter for Yun Xiao. The endless energy from the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array was being continually refined by his Gold Extreme Fire into nourishment to enhance his Gold Attribute Ancestor Vein.

This mysterious scene lasted for half a day, during which time Nangong Xiaofeng could only see the massive golden cocoon, knowing nothing about Yun Xiao’s situation inside.

Crack!

Under such torment, when a certain moment arrived, Nangong Xiaofeng finally heard a faint cracking sound. His eyes focused sharply, noticing a tiny crack appearing on the golden cocoon.

”Xiaofeng, be prepared!”

Just as Nangong Xiaofeng was uncertain about what changes might occur, a loud voice suddenly emerged from the golden cocoon, causing his form to shudder, yet he had no idea what he needed to prepare for.

”Wherever golden light appears, inject your essence blood into it!”

Fortunately, Yun Xiao provided guidance from below. With this sentence, Nangong Xiaofeng finally steadied himself, his internal Meridian Qi surging, and even the bloodline of the Nangong Family became more refined at this moment.

Swish!

With Nangong Xiaofeng wholly focused, a golden line darted from the golden cocoon, resembling a meteor across the sky, eventually vanishing into the distance.

Having watched intently from above, Nangong Xiaofeng instantly noticed a flicker of golden light at a corner of the mysterious land’s periphery and knew exactly where his target was.

Whoosh!

Wasting not a moment, Nangong Xiaofeng bit down and extended his right arm, a blood pearl spewing out from his index finger, shooting forth with incredible speed, striking accurately upon a glimmer of golden light.

Meanwhile, from the corner of his eye, Nangong Xiaofeng caught another flash of light elsewhere. Without hesitation, another essence blood shot from between his fingers, hitting the target in an instant.

The sequence continued, whether due to Yun Xiao’s deliberate actions or some changes in the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array. Successive golden light points flashed, prompting Nangong Feng’s essence blood to continuously merge into those points.
