Serpent Ancestor

"What is your name?"

She had short silver hair, pale skin, cold eyes, and a petite frame, resembling an emotionless puppet. Occasionally, her brow would furrow, but otherwise, her face showed no expression.

Xu Hei immediately realized that this wasn't an afterimage left by extreme speed, but a living person!

For some unknown reason, she had become a phantom, unable to be attacked!

Even his Divine Sense couldn't detect her, as if she were just a mass of air.

Xu Hei ignored her, shaking the Soul-absorbing Flag, summoning thirteen serpent spirits to attack the other Foundation Establishment cultivators outside.

The girl's phantom raised her hand and gently clenched it toward the serpent spirits. Instantly, an invisible force of confinement appeared in the space, immobilizing all the serpent spirits.

At the moment she clenched her hand, her body briefly materialized!

"Whoosh!"

The serpent patterns on Xiao Chou's arm lit up, his strength increasing several times over, causing the air to explode with a loud bang. This punch could shatter gold and split stone!

"Boom!"

With a dull thud, the silver-haired girl's face took a heavy punch, sending her flying sideways. A rare look of shock appeared on her usually impassive face as she crashed into the stone wall, a few drops of blood falling to the ground.

The bandit accomplices in the distance were all dumbfounded.

It was the first time they had seen the Silver-haired Witch get hit by a punch. It was unprecedented! She had fought countless battles before and had never been injured!

"Well done!"

Xu Hei praised, noting that Xiao Chou, having experienced life-and-death battles, was indeed different, seizing the opportunity perfectly.

Even he hadn't realized that the opponent would briefly materialize when casting a spell, but Xiao Chou had keenly caught it and even prepared for a sneak attack in advance.

"Senior, focus on artifact refining. Leave this to me!" Xiao Chou said in a deep voice.

Xu Hei pondered for a moment, placed the serpent spirits at the stone gate, and issued a guarding command, then concentrated fully on artifact refining.

Now, the artifact refining had reached the critical final stage, and he didn't want to be distracted by fighting, lest all his efforts be in vain.

In fact, the form of the Moon-supporting Pagoda was not complete; the ancient pill furnace had only melted some edges, with much room for improvement.

But the enemy had already come knocking, and Xu Hei could only forcibly wrap up, interrupting the artifact refining.

This was the most prudent course of action.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, Xu Hei seemed to hear a sound, startling him, and he looked straight at the reactor.

Beneath the earth, a faint, indescribable aura emerged, entering the reactor.

This aura was undetectable by anyone.

Xiao Chou at the door was completely unaware.

But in Xu Hei's eyes, it was faintly visible, swirling in the air like a dragon.

"Dragon Qi?"

Xu Hei's heart trembled.

In legend, Dragon Qi symbolizes the fortune of a place, a sign of great destiny.

Such an ethereal thing is invisible to humans, but Xu Hei, who practiced the Nine Transformations of the True Dragon, could vaguely capture a trace of it. RÅ𐌽ö𐌱Ɛŝ

Some experts in feng shui and divination could also vaguely discern the presence of Dragon Qi.

Could it be that beneath the spiritual vein of the Mountain Movers Sect, there was a wisp of Dragon Qi hidden?

"When did the Mountain Movers Sect harbor such great fortune?" Xu Hei was quite surprised.

His understanding of Dragon Qi was limited, confined to folklore and a few jade slip records, without knowing its specific effects.

At this moment, the Dragon Qi emitted a low roar, suddenly soaring into the sky, and entered the Moon-supporting Pagoda.

This sudden change left Xu Hei momentarily stunned, and then the Moon-supporting Pagoda began to tremble violently, emitting cracking sounds, its surface instantly covered with cracks.

"Damn it!"

Xu Hei's face changed dramatically, hurriedly focusing to suppress it, but the cracks on the Moon-supporting Pagoda multiplied, undergoing an earth-shattering transformation, seemingly about to be destroyed.

"Damn it, why did this change occur!" Xu Hei's expression was grim.

Inside the reactor, the dazzling blue light grew more brilliant, the pill furnace melting faster, the liquid automatically flying into the Moon-supporting Pagoda, repairing the gaps, and altering the overall shape.

"This..." Xu Hei was dumbfounded.

He didn't know what had happened, but the Moon-supporting Pagoda seemed to have slipped out of his control.

However, Xu Hei's mind remained connected to it, and he could clearly sense that the tower was undergoing an astonishing transformation, with the wisp of Dragon Qi merging into it.

...

After a short while, the silver-haired girl emerged from the stone wall, returning to the stone gate, her face showing no emotion.

Xiao Chou's body swelled, transforming into a red lava giant, his skin covered in serpent patterns, blocking the doorway with a stance that suggested he could hold off a thousand enemies, staring intently at the indifferent girl.

She calmly said, "State your..."

"I'm your father!"

Xiao Chou cursed, simultaneously throwing a punch.

The silver-haired girl's eyes were cold, and with a flick of her finger, Xiao Chou suddenly felt an indescribable tearing force descend upon him.

This power was irresistible, surpassing the limits of defense.

An extreme pain instantly spread throughout his body, and Xiao Chou realized that death was near.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, a communication jade slip flew out from the silver-haired girl's sleeve.

A figure floated out from the surface of the jade slip, identical to the one from Li Yang's jade slip, urgently shouting.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

At this moment, all the defensive Magical Treasures on Xiao Chou shattered, whether it was the thick earth armor or the Earth Shield, splitting from the middle simultaneously, providing no defense at all.

A crack appeared out of thin air on his chest, only three inches long, the break very smooth, as if it was the space itself that had split, not his flesh.

Xiao Chou retreated in time, breaking out in a cold sweat.

The silver-haired girl stopped her actions just in time, not continuing.

"Why?" she asked, puzzled, looking at the figure.

"He is..." the figure whispered, saying something unknown.

The silver-haired girl nodded, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Xiao Chou's face was pale, his heart filled with lingering fear, having just brushed past death's door.

What kind of spell could ignore all defenses and attacks with such tearing and phasing?

Xiao Chou had thought he could at least hold his own, but he was defeated in one move, unable to retaliate, leaving him with a strong sense of frustration.

The woman seemed to be only at the early Foundation Establishment stage, so why was she so strange?

The Silver-haired Witch, with a bounty of eighty thousand Spirit Stones, comparable to the Core Formation Stage, was not without reason.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Suddenly, the entire mountain began to shake, growing more intense, as if the sky were about to collapse.

In the distance, Han Te and Elder Hai, who were entangled in battle, also stopped, staring at the sky.

The ceiling above was covered with countless cracks, spreading across all areas, as if the entire mountain was about to be overturned.

"The Mountain Protection Array... is about to collapse!"

Elder Hai's face was filled with despair.

When the mountain was no longer stable, it meant the destruction of the Mountain Protection Array.

With the array gone, any casual exchange would bring catastrophic disaster to the mountain; a Core Formation Stage cultivator could move mountains with a mere gesture.

In fact, that was exactly the case.

On the plaza outside, the third-tier array spirit had weakened to the extreme, almost completely transparent.

As Zhang Tieshou wielded a giant hammer, smashing it heavily on the array spirit's head, the array spirit, which had protected the sect for hundreds of years, finally let out a mournful cry, its body shattering and dissolving into nothingness, returning to the depths of the earth.

With the array spirit's dissolution, the Mountain Movers Sect's Mountain Protection Array completely collapsed, and the sect master spat blood and fell to the ground.

The fifth-generation sect master, Patriarch Shi Xuan, was also at the end of his strength, on the brink of demise.
