Serpent Ancestor

Xu Hei not only unleashed the Sky-Tearing Claw, but also activated the Diamond Suppression Technique, concentrating all his true essence into his palm, pushing the power to its limit!

Although it wasn't as powerful as when he used it in his true dragon form last time, with the support of the strongest physical cultivation technique, its power was still formidable.

This claw could shake the heavens!

"Crack!!"

The space emitted a strained, trembling sound, like shattering glass, cracking open as the space was directly torn apart.

Shattering space signified power reaching the Elemental Infant level, equivalent to a Minor Annihilation Talisman. The gap between the Elemental Infant and Core Formation stages was like a chasm, insurmountable!

Xu Hei held nothing back, unleashing his strongest attack right from the start.

"How is this possible?!" Seeing the cracked space, Mu Hou let out a sharp cry.

"Boom!!!"

Xu Hei's claw struck the pagoda, leaving a deep groove on it, the shock spreading inside and out. Under Mu Hou's horrified gaze, the pagoda was actually torn open with a small hole!

"Wow!!" Mu Hou suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood and flying backward.

With his cultivation level, trying to wield a fourth-tier magical treasure was already extremely difficult. Now that the treasure was heavily struck, Mu Hou, as the controller, bore the brunt of the backlash.

"Bang!!"

He crashed into the inner wall of the pagoda, his true essence in chaos, blood seeping from his forehead, his heart in turmoil.

He couldn't believe that someone at the mid-stage Core Formation could unleash an attack comparable to the Elemental Infant stage. What kind of technique was this? It was unheard of!

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

Mu Hou was completely dumbfounded, his thoughts racing. Recalling that the opponent had activated the formation within the cave dwelling, his pupils suddenly contracted, exclaiming in shock, "You are Xu Hei?"

"Correct, but no prize for you!"

Xu Hei's expression was extremely cold, suppressing the backlash from using the Sky-Tearing Claw. He no longer maintained his human form, transforming into a long snake, contracting his body, and slipping through the small tear.

Mu Hou was in utter despair. He immediately opened the pagoda's door and fled desperately, but Ji Ying swiftly darted into Mu Hou's ear.

Mu Hou staggered, falling at the pagoda's entrance. Without a word, Xu Hei's dragon tail descended from the sky like a mountain, crashing down on Mu Hou.

"Boom!!"

Mu Hou's protective magical treasures exploded in an instant. Facing Xu Hei's Dragon Tail Swing, they couldn't withstand even a breath, and with a tragic scream, his body was torn apart, bursting into pieces, blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The manager of the Immortal Pavilion, Mu Hou, was blown to pieces by Xu Hei with a single strike!

The battle seemed lengthy, but in reality, it only lasted about ten breaths. Mu Hou didn't even have the courage to fight, opting for the most conservative approach by summoning the fourth-tier pagoda for protection and requesting reinforcements.

In the end, Xu Hei tore through his pagoda in a more domineering manner, smashing Mu Hou into a pulp with a single tail swipe!

Even Mu Hou's soul was shattered into nothingness by Xu Hei's roar, dead beyond dead!

At the same time.

On the third floor of the Immortal Pavilion, an elder who was meditating in a secret chamber suddenly opened his eyes and took out a soul lamp.

This soul lamp extinguished right under his nose.

The elder in green's pupils shrank instantly. This was Mu Hou's soul lamp. How could it suddenly extinguish without any warning? He hadn't heard a thing!

"Not good!"

The elder in green realized that someone had set up an eight-layer restriction here, isolating all detection, and he hadn't even noticed!

This elder in green was none other than the Grand Elder of the Immortal Pavilion, Duanmu Qing!

Duanmu Qing's face twisted, feeling deeply humiliated. Someone had set up a formation and killed under his nose, and he was completely unaware. This was not only a provocation to the Immortal Pavilion but also a mockery of him! Mocking his incompetence!

"No matter who you are, today I will tear you to pieces!"

Duanmu Qing's anger reached its peak, and with a roar, he charged out from the third floor.

Xu Hei had just finished killing and hadn't had time to retrieve the pagoda when he heard a divine-like roar echoing across the sky.

He saw Duanmu Qing's figure soar from the distant Immortal Pavilion, rapidly expanding into a giant avatar in the sky, its eyes scanning the world as if it could see through everything.

Xu Hei acted decisively. Seeing that he couldn't retrieve the pagoda quickly, he hurriedly grabbed Mu Hou's storage bag, used Body Swap, and instantly left the place, swapping positions with a puppet thousands of feet away.

Then, he grabbed the Small Teleportation Talisman and activated it!

Double displacement, double insurance!

"Today, no one shall escape!"

Duanmu Qing's avatar split into countless illusory clones, more than fifty, rushing in two directions. One-third headed towards Xu Hei, while the other two-thirds headed towards the underground treasury of the Immortal Pavilion.

Clearly, that was where Hei Huang was located.

A small portion scattered, preemptively blocking possible escape routes for the two demons.

Simultaneously, a formation rose from the ground, enveloping the entire back mountain inside and out almost the moment Duanmu Qing appeared, locking even the space, making displacement and teleportation impossible.

This was the foundation of Penglai Island!

Xu Hei's Small Teleportation Talisman was half-activated when the spell mark disappeared, the space frozen, making teleportation impossible!

This situation was anticipated. Xu Hei made a decisive move, executing the second set of positions!

"Body Swap!"

With a thought, he swapped positions with the puppet again, instantly moving thousands of feet away.

This was a well-known technique from the Puppet Mechanism Technique, called Thousand Puppets Shadow Swap! By placing multiple puppets in specific positions, each puppet connected by puppet threads, continuous swapping could achieve rapid displacement.

This wasn't space traversal like the Small Teleportation Talisman but a puppet technique.

However, this move placed a great burden on the physical body. Multiple swaps in a short time increased the speed and the corresponding load.

At the same time, it required a high level of divine sense. Each swap needed full control of the divine sense, and Xu Hei had taken a Divine Pill in advance to barely manage it!

Everything is relative; there's no absolutely perfect solution! Only Xu Hei could do this; if it were Bai Luo, he might collapse and die after just two swaps.

"Body Swap?"

The eyes of the dozen or so Duanmu Qings narrowed. This was a technique from the Heavenly Puppet Sect. Why was it appearing on a snake?

At this moment, although Xu Hei had reverted to a snake, he still wore a bamboo hat and used Ever-changing Fish and Dragon to transform into a sea snake, constantly disguising himself.

This made Duanmu Qing even more puzzled.

It was indeed an effective plan. In an instant, Xu Hei swapped positions four times, finally reaching the boundary of the blockade. He took out a deciphering disk, placed it on the blockade formation, and a gap appeared in the formation.

This deciphering disk was naturally prepared in advance by Hei Huang.

Xu Hei slipped through the gap, and at the moment of leaving, activated the Small Teleportation Talisman!

"Buzz!"

Xu Hei vanished into the void, disappearing without a trace.

This entire escape plan was executed smoothly, taking only a few breaths to leave the range of the Immortal Pavilion, even Duanmu Qing couldn't catch up.

The dozen or so Duanmu Qings stood frozen, watching Xu Hei escape right before their eyes, utterly powerless!

The anger in his heart had reached its peak!
