Serpent Ancestor

Chapter 823: Unlimited resurrection?

"Bang!!"The coffin lid shattered into pieces with a single slap from Xu Hei, causing the confined space to collapse entirely, leaving a vast expanse of void in its wake.

Simultaneously, the laws descended, reducing the power to its critical point.

Xu Hei vaguely sensed a suppressive force, feeling a slight discomfort in his body, as if the world was rejecting him.

"Is this the suppression of the laws?"

Xu Hei looked at his palm, lost in thought.

Law suppression!

When his displayed power exceeded the limits of the Divine Transformation Stage, reaching the Void Shattering Stage, the laws of heaven would descend, making him incompatible with this world, his mind and body drifting beyond, ready to break through the void.

This kind of law suppression, which only Void Shattering Stage cultivators would face, had now descended upon Xu Hei.

No wonder those Void Shattering Stage cultivators from ancient times were reluctant to make a move; this was the reason.

However, Xu Hei had his own advantages.

After a Void Shattering Stage cultivator battles, spiritual qi disperses, and their cultivation level drops. But Xu Hei didn't need to worry about this; he was originally at the Divine Transformation Stage, so he didn't have to worry about his cultivation level dropping.

At most, the energy absorbed from the Earth Core Transformation would deplete faster.

"Currently, my White Emperor Technique is still at the fifth layer of perfection. It's only by relying on the Earth Core Transformation that I have the combat power of the Void Shattering Stage. How powerful must the White Emperor have been back then, having cultivated to the sixth layer?"

Feeling the surging power within him, Xu Hei became increasingly aware of the terrifying nature of the five Superior Immortals of the past!

Only upon reaching this level could he understand what Void Shattering truly meant!

"This is the power of an ascending cultivator. Since when did Xu Hei become this powerful?" Hai Teng's eyes widened in disbelief.

"How did he do it?" Qing Shuang was baffled.

"Is the Thorn King really going to lose?" Leaf King was dumbfounded.

Not being at the Void Shattering Stage yet able to defeat one was unheard of, let alone seen.

"Rustle..."

On the ground, countless plant roots sprouted, forming a lush forest with dense shrubs and thorns everywhere.

The wood debris shattered by Xu Hei vanished, and the opponent's aura reappeared in the newly grown thicket.

"Another Flower Shifting and Tree Replacing? Let's see how many times you can escape!"

Xu Hei leaped into the sky, stepping on the firmament, and descended from the heavens, stomping on the ground.

"Boom..."

Mountains collapsed, forests were destroyed, and the entire land caved in, turning into an abyss. All the green trees were obliterated by the fierce wind, razed to the ground, their roots turned to dust!

The opponent's divine abilities were indeed strange, integrating offense and defense, and adept at escaping. But in the face of absolute power suppression, how many times could they evade?

Yet, before long, new branches sprouted from the ground.

Xu Hei stomped again, extinguishing the newly grown branches completely.

Time and again, the opponent kept regenerating, only to be eradicated by Xu Hei repeatedly.

As time passed, Xu Hei noticed something was amiss.

Like wildfire that couldn't be extinguished, reborn with the spring breeze, the opponent seemed like seeds hidden deep within the earth, always able to regenerate no matter how many times they were destroyed.

"Strange, why is the opponent so hard to kill?"

Xu Hei's face showed a hint of confusion.

The stone spirit clan, once their core was shattered, would lose their energy source and perish.

The Wood Spirit Clan, at most, had the Jianmu Overlord Body to enhance defense and slow down death.

But Xu Hei had never seen anything this hard to kill!

What kind of new divine ability was this? It was almost like infinite resurrection!

The Thorn King couldn't possibly have such means, even if possessed, it wouldn't be this outrageous!

Could it be that the Wood Spirit Clan had some unknown secret?

Xu Hei glanced at the trapped Qing Shuang, who was equally bewildered, shaking her head. Clearly, this wasn't a method of the Wood Spirit Clan.

At least, Qing Shuang had never heard of any Wood Spirit Clan member knowing such a resurrection method.

"No matter what strange evil it is, it cannot defy the laws of heaven!"

"I want to see how many times you can resurrect!"

Xu Hei descended into a newly grown thicket, directly summoning the Demon God Cauldron to commence devouring.

"Buzz!!"

Vast spiritual power was absorbed by Xu Hei into the Demon God Cauldron, along with the thorns, refining everything clean.

Infinite resurrection equaled infinite life and infinite spiritual qi consumption. Xu Hei didn't believe anything could possess infinite spiritual qi.

Sure enough, after the Demon God Cauldron absorbed the energy.

The opponent's resurrection speed quickly slowed down. Initially, they could still grow a forest, but gradually, the trees dwindled to just one or two withered branches.

Eventually, even the withered branches disappeared, and even the new sprouts were absorbed by the Demon God Cauldron.

It worked!

"Xu Hei, let's end today's sparring here. Don't push too far. If you force me, I'll self-destruct my primordial spirit and take you with me!"

A gloomy voice came from underground.

"Sparring?" Xu Hei raised an eyebrow, sneering, "Facing death, you still dare to say such things? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

"Hmph! I admit, this physical body is indeed inferior to yours, but if I self-destruct my primordial spirit, you'll die with me! I'm not bluffing; if you don't believe me, try it!"

The cold voice said.

Xu Hei appeared unfazed, but his heart skipped a beat at those words.

Xu Hei had long suspected that there was a Void Shattering Stage primordial spirit within the Thorn King. If true, the opponent's self-destruction could indeed pose a threat to him.

After all, no matter how strong Xu Hei's physical body was, his primordial spirit's defense was almost nonexistent.

It's just that there were very few who excelled in divine sense techniques, allowing Xu Hei to remain unscathed until now.

Xu Hei's eyes flashed, a cold smile curling at his lips.

"Heh, I'm so scared!"

Xu Hei sneered, reaching out to grab the earth, lifting the entire ground. The Demon God Cauldron soared into the air, flying toward the source of the voice, unleashing its devouring power in full force!

"Boom!!!"

Soil, rocks, mountains, and earth all flew toward the Demon God Cauldron, everything being refined clean, no matter what it was.

"You seek death!" The voice underground roared in fury, "Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"

At that moment, the sky suddenly darkened.

Countless eyes appeared above and below, surrounding Xu Hei from all directions.

These eyes, though different, all locked onto Xu Hei, eerie and terrifying.

"Thousand-Eyed King?"

Qing Shuang was shocked, immediately thinking of the strongest Grand Elder in the history of the Wood Spirit Clan.

Back then, the Thousand-Eyed King created his own cultivation technique, forcibly breaking through by infusing spiritual qi, being the only one besides the Ancestor with hope of reaching Void Shattering.

However, the Thousand-Eyed King's physical body couldn't withstand it, resulting in his body exploding and his subsequent disappearance.

Unexpectedly, the Thousand-Eyed King had truly succeeded in Void Shattering and was still alive!
