Serpent Ancestor

Chapter 834: The New Generation of the Chosen

"Regarding this strange black aura... I understand now!"Xu Hei seemed to have realized something, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

...

Not long after.

Han Te and Hai Teng, using their own methods, also saw the distant space tunnel.

This was the entrance to the Outer Battlefield!

At this moment, the space tunnel was slowly closing at a gradual pace.

Like other cultivation stars, each time the tunnel opened, it wouldn't stay open for long before closing again, only to reopen ten years later.

The three of them were in perfect sync, simultaneously casting seals to lower their cultivation, maintaining themselves at the Great Perfection of the Elemental Infant stage.

Han Te, an old hand at this, completed it in no time.

Xu Hei and Hai Teng also didn't waste much time, successively completing their cultivation suppression.

"Let's go!"

The three soared into the sky, heading towards the space tunnel.

Hai Teng controlled three pillars, surrounding himself, exuding a dragon's might that repelled all evil, and charged into the space tunnel.

Han Te stepped on a giant black sword, with an iron pot on his head, and rushed in as well.

Xu Hei, on the other hand, rode inside the Demon God Cauldron, spinning and whistling as he entered.

Before leaving, Xu Hei suddenly had a flash of inspiration, took out a jade slip, recorded a piece of information, and placed it in a wooden box.

Then, he left the wooden box there and flew towards the space tunnel.

Shortly after the three of them entered, the space tunnel there completely disappeared, reverting to a state of chaotic disorder.

...

Outer Battlefield, Void Realm.

As the greatest opportunity in the Outer Battlefield, the Void Realm had gained fame over the years, continuously attracting all Elemental Infant cultivators to explore its mysteries.

The Void Realm did not disappoint.

After each exploration, those who emerged alive had a high probability of advancing to the Divine Transformation stage!

In addition, with the resources bestowed by Elder Mo before his departure, many new Divine Transformation cultivators were born among the Seven Stars.

Yet, what lay within the Void Realm had always been a mystery.

At this moment.

In the very center of the Void Realm, on the pitch-black land.

A new batch of young cultivators was completing the task assigned by Tomb Elder—clearing the "evil spirits" from the tombstones.

Everyone worked diligently, fearing they might miss this opportunity.

"As long as I clear a thousand tombstones, I can obtain the inheritance of the laws, and with the Divine Fusion Pill bestowed by the sect, achieving Divine Transformation is almost guaranteed! By then..."

A young disciple from the Blood Refining Sect curled his lips into a sinister smile.

This person bore some resemblance to Xiong Yan, even sharing a similar aura, but his talent far surpassed Xiong Yan's.

He was the new Chosen of the Blood Refining Sect, Xiong Kang!

"Back then, Xiong Yan died at the hands of Xu Hei, bringing disgrace to our sect, viewed as a humiliation!"

"If I were in Xiong Yan's place, how could I let that brat Xu Hei run wild? I could suppress him with one hand! There would be no need for the Flame Demon Grandmaster to intervene, who has yet to return."

Xiong Kang, as Xiong Yan's replacement, had been consuming the Book of Changes Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Spirit Realm's immortal brew since childhood, truly growing up with a Golden Spoon.

At just twenty years old, he was already at the half-step Divine Transformation stage, capable of fighting beyond his level and defeating Divine Transformation cultivators.

This was unprecedented in the history of the Blood Refining Sect!

And all of this was due to the resources left by Elder Mo.

Spirit Realm cultivators, with just a little benefit, could change the landscape of a sect, change the structure of a realm.

This also fostered Xiong Kang's unparalleled arrogance.

"Whoosh!!"

He casually summoned a large flag, absorbing the evil spirits from the tombstones and refining them clean.

"One thousand, mission accomplished!"

Xiong Kang exhaled deeply, striding towards Tomb Elder's direction.

On the way, Xiong Kang suddenly paused, looking at a graceful figure in the distance.

It was a young girl in a Taoist robe, about sixteen years old, in her prime. Although her hat covered her long hair, her delicate features and petite face were still evident.

This was the first Chosen of the Yan Dao Sect, Huang Shuer.

A trace of wickedness flashed in Xiong Kang's eyes as he rushed towards Huang Shuer.

"Xiong Kang? What do you want?"

Huang Shuer's vigilance heightened, quickly taking out a formation disk, holding it tightly, and staring intently at Xiong Kang.

"Sister Shuer, why are you so tense?"

Xiong Kang smiled slightly, his sinister intent undisguised, saying, "We have a marriage contract, we're practically family. I'm just here to help you clear the evil spirits, to help you complete your task faster."

Huang Shuer's disgust deepened upon hearing this.

Three years ago, when Huang Tiancheng set up the Spirit Absorption Formation against the Divine Puppet Sect, they stood on the same front.

Afterward, the Blood Refining Sect naturally proposed marriage to the Yan Dao Sect, offering a large amount of resources as a betrothal gift.

Thus, the underage Huang Shuer was betrothed to Xiong Kang.

Although she strongly opposed this marriage, her personal power was too small in the grand scheme. All she could do was desperately study formations to protect herself.

But as Xiong Kang's power grew stronger, capable of fighting Divine Transformation cultivators, Huang Shuer had no confidence in defending against him.

Fortunately, she was a descendant of Huang Tiancheng, and for the sake of the two sects' relationship, Xiong Kang had never resorted to force, only using verbal harassment at most.

"I don't need your help, please step aside!" Huang Shuer said coldly.

Xiong Kang's smile did not fade at her words, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Heh, my dear sister Shuer, you don't seem to understand the situation."

Xiong Kang said as he walked forward, sneering, "I'm here to help you, not to harm you. Once is fine, but repeatedly rejecting me will break my heart! And if my heart breaks, who knows what I might do!"

Xiong Kang's steps grew closer, forcing Huang Shuer to retreat further.

The formation disk in her hand had long been activated, forming a fierce glow that repelled all outsiders.

But as Xiong Kang advanced, his blood energy surged to the sky, his skin turning crimson, veins bulging, easily dispelling the repulsion.

This was the power that could contend with Divine Transformation!

"What do you want? Are you planning to attack me?"

Huang Shuer was not panicked, but gritted her teeth and said fiercely.

"What do I want?" Xiong Kang sneered, "I heard that those who leave the Void Realm lose their memory and don't remember what happened inside."

Hearing this, Huang Shuer's pupils shrank, her face turning deathly pale.

Xiong Kang continued, "Since that's the case, I suddenly thought of an interesting game. After all, you're my fiancée, so why don't we take care of business first."

"When we leave the Void Realm, I find your chastity destroyed, but you don't remember it was me. Do you think I'd kill you?"

As Xiong Kang spoke, a grin spread across half his face, as if he had discovered a new world, growing more excited and trembling with anticipation.

"Boom!"

The next second, Xiong Kang slapped out, his immense blood energy transforming into a mountain, easily shattering Huang Shuer's formation and crushing her to the ground, her clothes torn, blood spilling from her mouth.

Just as Xiong Kang was about to make his next move.

Suddenly, the entire Void Realm's space rippled violently, the ground shook, mountains trembled, as if an unprecedented super earthquake was erupting.
