Serpent Ancestor
Chapter 545: Countless bones

Since the establishment of Liefeng City, never before have so many Core Formation cultivators gathered here, nor have so many rogue cultivators come drawn by its fame.

Three of them emerged alive from the Void Realm. Although no one knows how they managed it, this is a feat that many major sects and factions have not achieved.

Liefeng City is destined to become the first city of the outer battlefield!

This is the belief of everyone.

In Luo Gang's eyes, there was a hint of regret.

At the center of his brow, an aura appeared, the Aura of Desolation.

Wang Xiu's eyes turned crimson, reflecting his aura, the Aura of Slaughter.

Ding Yi's body swelled into a ball, drool dripping from his mouth, representing his Aura of Gluttony.

"Go ahead and do your thing, I'll hold the fort!"

Gongsun Bo stood atop the city wall. With a gentle shake, he rolled three sixes, a rare occurrence, thanks to the city's fortune being bestowed upon him alone.

"The inheritance of the laws, combined with five hundred years of planning, breaking through to the Divine Transformation Stage, today is the day!"

"Begin!"

Wang Xiu's figure flickered, and the evil sword in his hand was unsheathed, sweeping through the first street with a single stroke.

The people in the street's houses had no time to react before they were sliced into minced flesh, which Ding Yi inhaled with a single gulp, swallowing it into his belly.

The drifting fortune was absorbed by Gongsun Bo.

"Slash!"

Wang Xiu's sword light extended to a hundred feet long, sweeping horizontally, causing dozens of Core Formation cultivators to fall in regret, unable to resist.

The dead bodies, without exception, were devoured clean by Ding Yi.

"So hungry, so hungry, finally I can feast to my heart's content, hahaha!" Ding Yi laughed maniacally.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Evil Sword Emperor Wang Xiu transformed completely into a hellish Asura, aiming his evil sword at the defenseless cultivators within the city.

The tens of thousands within the city, mostly at the Core Formation Stage, and even some at the Foundation Establishment Stage, were like unarmed mortals facing an army, powerless to resist, slaughtered at will.

Even if those at the Elemental Infant stage appeared and tried to escape, they couldn't break through the city-protecting formation's blockade.

At this moment, Liefeng City became a prison of heaven and earth, trapping everyone inside.

The city's residents were lambs awaiting slaughter!

"No! Spare me!"

"Don't kill me, I'll do anything!"

"Spare me, senior!"

"No!!"

Screams, sounds of fighting, collisions, and pleas for mercy echoed everywhere.

It's unimaginable that such a horrific massacre could occur in the once-glorious Liefeng City.

In the mortal realm, armies often raze cities, slaughtering hundreds of thousands, with casualties in the millions in a single war. Demonic cultivators frequently commit such heinous acts.

But those who died in Liefeng City were at least Foundation Establishment cultivators or above, with over ten thousand cultivators dying at once, a shocking event even in the mortal realm.

"Master, what should we do? What can we do?"

A young girl selling goods, tears streaming down her face, looked at the old man Guo You beside her, but he only knelt on the ground, begging continuously.

But what awaited them was a flash of sword light.

Old man Yuan, who had once met Xu Hei at the stone gambling house, couldn't escape this calamity either and was slain with a single sword strike.

The Evil Sword Emperor killed continuously for an hour, not only without tiring but growing stronger with each kill, as his aura evolved!

Blood dyed the city red, and the massive spiritual energy released by the fallen cultivators filled the city, unable to escape due to the formation.

The massacre allowed their auras to reach their peak, a plan long set by the Liefeng City quartet!

Their actions were no different from demonic cultivators.

Ding Yi and Wang Xiu were originally demonic cultivators, practicing the Devouring Demon Tome and the Nether Sword Art, both demonic cultivation techniques.

Although Luo Gang and Gongsun Bo practiced orthodox techniques, their collaboration with demonic cultivators was undeniable.

"The blood of over ten thousand cultivators seeps into the ground, advancing the city-protecting formation to the fifth level, allowing Chen Zimo to seize the opportunity to break through. What a pity he refused to cooperate, obstinate and unyielding, his immortal fate has ended," Luo Gang sighed.

They were originally a group of five, all with the chance to break through to the Divine Transformation Stage.

Chen Zimo refused to join them, leaving in anger, only to meet his demise.

As a cultivator, if one lacks the resolve to succeed at the cost of countless bones, why cultivate immortality at all?

Luo Gang merely lamented, all five had bright futures, yet Chen Zimo wasted his.

He truly regarded Chen Zimo as a brother!

…………

Xu Hei isolated his cave dwelling from the outside world, unaware of the events unfolding outside.

Even if he noticed the fighting outside, as long as it didn't involve him, he wouldn't interrupt himself at such a critical moment.

At this moment, Xu Hei was at the most crucial stage of his breakthrough. The Infant Breaking Pill had already caused his Elemental Infant to transform, the young dragon raised its head, its eyes turning a pale gold, its scales like molten gold, its eyes sharp, wings spread, like Xu Hei's second body, a golden Winged Dragon.

"Boom!!"

A massive amount of spiritual energy was absorbed into his body, refined through ten dragon veins, pouring into the Elemental Infant, accelerating its transformation, and Xu Hei's true essence grew increasingly robust.

In just five days, the spiritual energy of a supreme spirit stone was exhausted.

"Not enough, still not enough!"

Xu Hei took out ten million lower-grade spirit stones, inhaling them all at once, turning them into gray-white stone debris at an alarming rate.

Ten million lower-grade spirit stones lasted only two days before being depleted.

Xu Hei then took out the remaining millions of spirit stones, absorbing them all, yet it still wasn't enough.

The spiritual energy he required was too vast, compressed repeatedly, far beyond Xu Hei's imagination.

"Just to break through to the late Elemental Infant stage, the spiritual energy required is several times that of the mid-stage, it's too exaggerated," Xu Hei marveled silently.

If he were to break through to the Divine Transformation Stage, how much spiritual energy would that require? Xu Hei didn't dare to imagine.

Of course, this might be unique to Xu Hei; others might not need as much, after all, not everyone has a dragon-shaped Elemental Infant like his.

Xu Hei inhaled, and the external spiritual energy gathered towards him like a storm.

"Pop! Pop! Pop!"

The storage bags of deceased cultivators automatically burst open, and the spirit stones within flew out in piles, automatically heading towards Xu Hei's cave dwelling, turning to ash mid-flight, but the massive spiritual energy flow was absorbed by Xu Hei.

Xu Hei's body gradually expanded, transforming into a flood dragon form, his size increasing, as a demonic beast's breakthrough would also enhance the physical body.

The massive external spiritual energy flow piqued Xu Hei's curiosity, but at such a critical juncture, he wouldn't think much of it, assuming it was City Lord Luo's cooperation.

In fact, Luo Gang did notice Xu Hei.

With a wave of his hand, he scattered a large number of spirit stones around Xu Hei's cave dwelling.

"One less Chen Zimo, one more Xu Hei, the result is the same, hahaha!" Luo Gang laughed heartily.
