Serpent Ancestor

Chapter 754: Difficult choice

At this moment, Elder Mo was staring at Jiang Liuyu, transmitting something unknown to him.Upon hearing it, Jiang Liuyu hurriedly spoke, "Xu Hei, if you let me go, I'll give you all the storage rings I have! And I'll have my family give you an Ascension Token. You wouldn't want to miss the chance to ascend, would you?"

Ascension Token... Hearing this, Xu Hei clearly felt a stir from the Old Tree behind him, but it quickly calmed down.

The lifelong pursuit of a Void Shattering Stage cultivator is ascension! The allure of the Ascension Token was too strong!

At this moment, Jiang Liuyu voluntarily took out one of his storage rings, removed the Divine Sense imprint, and handed it to Xu Hei.

Through observation, Xu Hei could see many treasures inside that he had never seen before.

Xu Hei did not reach out to take it.

He couldn't guarantee what might happen once he touched the storage ring. He didn't recognize any of the treasures inside, and there might be dangers.

For instance, the Ten-thousand-year Cold Marrow, originally a treasure, could freeze Xu Hei if opened without precaution.

"Xu Hei..." The Old Tree's voice came from behind, saying, "I've heard some rumors about the Ancient Jiang Clan. If you kill this person, you'll be marked with the Jiang Clan's kill order."

Xu Hei was well aware of the Old Tree's warning.

Jiang Nine Phoenix had mentioned this to him before, which is why he hadn't killed Jiang Nine Phoenix yet.

Killing the person in front of him would not only lead to being hunted but might also expose the Demon God Cauldron, which would be an even bigger problem.

"However, now that you've come this far, do you have any other choice?" the Old Tree suddenly said.

Xu Hei was taken aback and transmitted, "Don't you want the Ascension Token?"

"Heh, although I long for ascension, I'm not a fool. We don't understand these Spirit Realm cultivators, so why trust them?"

The Old Tree said sternly, "You must harbor the greatest malice towards the unknown."

Xu Hei took a deep breath, having already made up his mind.

Their exchange seemed lengthy, but it was actually just a brief moment.

Suddenly, the rune in Jiang Liuyu's hand expanded rapidly, and the force repelling the Star-Moon Sword grew stronger, causing Xu Hei's sword tip to move away from Jiang Liuyu's forehead.

The rune's defensive power was strengthening.

"Very well! You've succeeded in making me hesitate for a moment, but from today on, I will have no more doubts!"

Xu Hei stared at the frenzied-looking Jiang Liuyu, raised his hand, and an ancient cauldron flew out from his body, landing in his palm, then flipped towards Jiang Liuyu.

The instant Jiang Liuyu saw the ancient cauldron.

His eyes flashed with confusion, then turned to shock, and shock turned to fear.

"This... this..."

He stared at the Demon God Cauldron before him, unable to speak coherently, his voice trembling.

In the distance, Elder Mo's pupils also contracted, as if struck by lightning.

Cauldron-shaped magical treasures were common in the Spirit Realm, and those with dragon carvings on the surface were not unusual.

However, they couldn't sense the existence of this cauldron at all, as if it were just an illusion.

If it were a mundane cultivator, they might think this cauldron was a high-level magical treasure, but with their cultivation level, encountering such a phenomenon was highly abnormal!

Jiang Liuyu seemed to realize something, and his inner fear reached its peak.

"Boom!!"

A terrifying devouring force erupted, and the defensive rune in Jiang Liuyu's hand was directly refined, rapidly disintegrating completely, all spiritual power and laws being thoroughly refined.

At the same time, the Jiang family token within Jiang Liuyu's body began to tremble violently.

"What's happening? Why is the Jiang family token within me afraid?"

The Jiang family token, crafted from the Jiang family's treasured Fengming Jade, ranked eleventh on the list of heavenly treasures, was indestructible, of high status, and accompanied by the pressure of a divine beast, yet it was afraid.

"According to ancient records, this small cauldron must be..."

Jiang Liuyu's expression changed drastically, but he had no time to think further. Xu Hei directly pierced his forehead with a sword, the terrifying Sword Qi wreaking havoc inside him.

However, the Sword Qi was soon interrupted by a strange force, disappearing completely.

Xu Hei remained unfazed, fully activating the Demon God Cauldron, directly extracting Jiang Liuyu's primordial spirit from his forehead.

No matter what protection remained within this person's physical body, once the primordial spirit was destroyed, it was a dead end!

"No!!"

Elder Mo's eyes widened in rage, shouting angrily.

In an instant, Jiang Liuyu's primordial spirit was absorbed into the Demon God Cauldron by Xu Hei, burning halfway.

At that moment, a blood bead flew out from Jiang Liuyu's physical body, rapidly condensing in mid-air, forming a dimensional light gate. A human woman's face appeared within the light gate, angrily shouting:

"Who dares to kill a descendant of the Jiang family? Stop at once!"

The woman's face was only a vague outline, her true appearance unclear, but even a trace of her aura exerted immense pressure.

Xu Hei felt an instinctive fear.

Elder Mo, witnessing this scene, urgently shouted, "Seventh Ancestor, save the young master!"

Xu Hei paid no heed to who this ancestor was, intensifying his efforts, the Demon God Cauldron frantically refining, Jiang Liuyu's aura dissipating, and the primordial spirit's fire rapidly extinguishing.

The woman's face was about to continue her angry rebuke.

Suddenly, she stared at the Demon God Cauldron in Xu Hei's hand, a trace of astonishment flashing in her eyes, quickly turning into intense horror.

"This is..."

The woman's pupils contracted, and the light gate exploded, forming a massive wave, surging towards Xu Hei.

The laws of the mundane world descended, reducing this force by more than half, but when it struck Xu Hei, it still caused him to spit blood and be sent flying.

As he flew back, Xu Hei raised his hand, absorbing a storage bag from beside Jiang Liuyu's physical body.

"Thud!"

Xu Hei took another heavy blow, spitting blood again, his reinforced physical body covered in cracks, blood gushing out.

Without hesitation, the Old Tree took out the Star Compass, dragging Xu Hei, and fled at full speed.

"This Jiang family ancestor is terrifying, able to descend a trace of divine sense across realms through bloodline sensing!"

"If not for the laws of the world suppressing her, that one move would have left you with no chance of survival!"

The Old Tree said with a grim expression.

Xu Hei was in unbearable pain all over, not only from the two strikes by the mysterious woman but also from the backlash of the three-phase fusion.

His skin was covered in countless cracks, like parched, cracked earth, seemingly on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

Inside the Demon God Cauldron, Jiang Liuyu's primordial spirit was already more than half refined, and Xu Hei still did not relax, continuing to refine him with all his might.

Fortunately, this person's primordial spirit was not strong, only at the level of an ordinary Great Perfection in Divine Transformation, without too many heaven-defying magical treasures.

At this moment, in the distant direction, the mysterious woman's face had disappeared, completely erased by the laws of the mundane world.

Leaving only a message, echoing in Elder Mo's ear.

"Mo Xingtian, I order you, at all costs, to seize the cauldron from that person's hand!"

"Additionally, the information about this place must not be leaked, or face family law punishment!"
