Serpent Ancestor

Chapter 835: Xu Hei returns to the outer realm

The earth shook violently, the seas roared, the void trembled, and the Spiritual Qi boiled.Such a terrifying commotion immediately caught the attention of everyone in the Void Realm.

"What’s going on?"

"What happened?"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards the direction of the tremor, their eyes filled with shock.

Xiong Kang also paused, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Because the Void Realm erases memories, and without the experience of predecessors, they were completely unaware of this situation.

It might just be a normal phenomenon.

Xiong Kang believed that with his strength, no matter what changes occurred, he could handle them with ease. Since others could leave alive, he naturally could retreat unscathed as well.

"Strange! Why do I feel like the source of the tremor is right... in front of me?"

Xiong Kang's eyes flashed as he stared at the position ten thousand meters ahead.

This distance was just a few steps away for him!

Too close! It made him feel a bit uneasy, but that was quickly replaced by his strong confidence!

…………

At this moment.

At the very center of the black land, atop a solitary peak, sat a figure as withered as a corpse.

This pitch-black figure was the master of this place, Tomb Elder.

He was the extraterrestrial demon replica of the first marshal under Canglan Immortal Lord, the Tomb Elder.

Of course, such a secret was known to no one except Xu Hei, whose memory had not been erased.

"Someone actually came to that place?"

A gleam flashed in Tomb Elder's eyes. After pondering for a moment, his deep and distant voice spread out, echoing in everyone’s ears: "Everyone, head immediately to the site of the tremor, without delay!"

Upon receiving this order, all the cultivators in the Void Realm soared into the sky, rushing towards the source of the tremor at the fastest speed.

Coincidentally, Xiong Kang was right at the source point. He stared at the gradually rising ground ahead, his expression particularly grave.

"Is something about to emerge?"

Though cautious, Xiong Kang's excitement was evident, and he sneered, "Haha, right in front of me. Whatever it is, this is my opportunity, a great opportunity!"

As Xiong Kang's thoughts flickered.

A series of cracking sounds came from the mound ahead, like a mirror gradually shattering.

The entire space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, forming a deep vortex passage from the inside out.

"Is this... the end of a spatial passage?"

Xiong Kang's pupils contracted, clearly a knowledgeable person.

Such a situation only occurred on the way from a cultivation star to the outer battlefield.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

The cracking sound grew louder, and the sound of wind breaking came from afar, the cultivators rushing over.

The cultivators here, upon discovering Xiong Kang, all voluntarily distanced themselves, to avoid being schemed against by him.

After all, in the Void Realm, no one would remember who killed whom. Even if they were allies outside, it wouldn't matter; dead was dead.

Everyone stared at the void passage.

Three small black dots flew from the depths of the passage, crashing to the ground with a loud thud, creating three huge pits.

After these three appeared, the passage disappeared.

"Newcomers?" The crowd looked surprised.

At this moment, Tomb Elder spoke, "Everyone, attack and kill these three! For each one killed, you gain an opportunity for Divine Ability enlightenment!"

An opportunity for Divine Ability enlightenment was a great fortune, capable of comprehending a first-turn Divine Ability. Even Elemental Infant cultivators, let alone those in the Divine Transformation Stage, would be envious!

As soon as the words fell.

Without a second thought, Xiong Kang swung a massive blood handprint towards the three, its range vast, intending to claim the benefit for himself.

This strike was Xiong Kang's full-force attack, a first-turn Divine Ability, the Blood Demon Hand!

"Boom!!!"

The handprint smashed down, creating a thousand-meter-wide pit in the ground, a sea of blood surging, blood light filling the heavens, polluting the earth, corroding everything.

But to everyone's shock.

The three remained motionless, unaffected, even the land within a three-meter radius of them was untouched.

"What?" Xiong Kang was dumbfounded.

His recent strike, even if it hit an Elemental Infant cultivator, would have been fatal or severely injurious, yet these three were unscathed?

More bizarrely.

His arm began to tremble, involuntarily shaking. This was not his intention, but the arm itself trembling, seemingly out of instinctive fear.

At this moment.

Xu Hei slowly stood up, dusting off the dirt on his body, which had adhered due to the immense gravity surrounding him.

Upon arriving in the Void Realm, Xu Hei had used the White Emperor Sutra to enhance his physical body to the Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation Stage.

"Void Realm... Haha, I bypassed the outer battlefield and directly descended into the core of the Void Realm, just as expected!"

Xu Hei looked at the familiar surroundings, scanning the black soil and numerous tombstones, a cold smile emerging.

The landing point of the Dark Star transmission was somewhat different, directly appearing in the Void Realm.

However, this was within Xu Hei's expectations.

He had long suspected that the Dark Star and the extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons were closely connected.

Why would breaking the void on the Dark Star lead to possession by extraterrestrial demons?

Why did Lotus True Monarch leave an inheritance on the Dark Star?

Why did those strange black gases emerge?

Why did ancient cultivators issue warnings to prevent entry?

The reason was simple—there was a connection to the Void Realm!

The extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons sought to lure people into the Void Realm, to eliminate the obsessions within the tombstones, thereby freeing themselves.

If the extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons succeeded, the mortal realm would be utterly destroyed!

The task Lotus True Monarch entrusted to Xu Hei was to truthfully report the situation here to Canglan Immortal Lord, so the Immortal Lord could once again suppress this place.

Now, Xu Hei had arrived once more.

His gaze shifted, locking onto the distant mountain peak.

Tomb Elder sat there, gazing across at Xu Hei.

"Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons... beings even Canglan Immortal Lord couldn't completely kill, I won't expect to do so either. However, I can reinforce the tombstones here with a set of seals to buy more time!" Xu Hei's eyes flashed, a plan forming in his mind.

"You are... Xu Hei?!"

Suddenly, a voice of surprise came from not far away.

Xu Hei frowned slightly, turning his head to look.

At the ten thousand-meter position ahead stood a young cultivator resembling Xiong Yan, his entire body crimson, blood energy vigorous, veins bulging, face ferocious, exuding a nauseating bloody stench, a murderous aura almost tangible, hinting at countless kills.

Xu Hei recalled that the blood handprint earlier seemed to have been struck by this person.

Originally, Xu Hei didn't pay much attention, but this person's shout successfully caught his notice.
