Serpent Ancestor

Chapter 107: Dragon's Reverse Scale

Chapter 107: Dragon's Reverse Scale

A whole bottle of Super Rejuvenation Pills entered his body, transforming into a surging torrent of True Qi, roaring like mountains and seas, crashing wildly within Xu Hei's body.

Blood seeped from the corners of Xu Hei's mouth, his meridians nearly collapsing, and his flesh experiencing unimaginable pain, almost on the verge of exploding.

He possessed dragon scales, but the rest of his body was still that of a snake, yet to undergo transformation, unable to withstand such a violent impact.

"Demon God Cauldron, refine it for me!"

Xu Hei shouted, mobilizing the Demon God Cauldron to absorb all the True Qi streams, fully suppressing and compressing them within, preventing any chaos.

Gradually, his pain lessened.

He looked around again; the crowd had already gathered their second round of spells, launching them together like a storm.

The Snake Catchers' strategy was clear: they had the numbers, and even through attrition, they could exhaust Xu Hei to death!

Xu Hei's spells were powerful, no doubt! With the black True Qi's enhancement, even the most basic spells could achieve miraculous effects.

But his True Qi was limited. He could defend once, twice, but could he defend three times, ten times?

In an instant, the crowd's spells descended upon Xu Hei, including Wu Mochou's three Bone-Corroding Nails, top-tier second-grade magical treasures he had treasured for years, now taken out for use, comparable to third-grade.

One person even burned their life force to unleash a third-grade Wind Blade Talisman, aiming to sever Xu Hei.

Xu Hei swallowed a Blood Replenishing Pill, ignoring all attacks, a madness gleaming in his eyes as he silently chanted in his heart.

"Falling Stars!"

In the sky, massive meteors suddenly appeared, gradually solidifying from phantoms into physical forms.

At the same time, the True Qi within Xu Hei's body was being consumed frantically, depleting rapidly, while the suppressed chaotic True Qi within the Demon God Cauldron was swiftly released, replenishing his body.

During this process, Xu Hei felt indescribable pain, his meridians seemingly on the verge of bursting, his body feeling as if struck by a thousand-pound hammer, blood seeping from his dragon scales, flowing all over his body.

But he gritted his teeth and endured!

"I can't lose, this is my home, my home!!!"

Xu Hei roared in his heart, the reverse scale on his forehead shining brilliantly.

Behind him were his family, his reverse scale!

If he were a snake, he could flee, but as a true dragon, he could not retreat!

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The Falling Stars streaked across the sky, crashing down on the crowd below with a terrifying, world-destroying force.

Falling Stars was originally a peak second-grade spell, but in Xu Hei's hands, enhanced by black True Qi, its power approached third-grade, comparable to the Core Formation Stage!

"Boom!!"

A large group of inner disciples hadn't even been touched yet, but were already crushed by the increasing gravity, their flesh disintegrating, countless magical treasures shattering into fragments.

When the meteors struck, the disciples were instantly obliterated, not even a hair left behind.

"Boom!!"

Another meteor fell on the heads of two elders, who took out their life-saving treasures, third-grade golden shield talismans, but due to insufficient spiritual power, the shields shattered after a few breaths, and the meteors fell, killing them amidst their screams.

Fourth disciple Su Bei used his treasured umbrella to protect himself, lasting five breaths, but turned to ashes after the second meteor fell.

Third disciple Wang Ping, terrified out of his wits, chose to flee, but was caught by a meteor from behind, smashing into his back, leaving not even a trace of skin.

"No!!!" Xuan Yangzi roared to the heavens.

Second disciple Liu Fei lasted the longest, with three meteors falling on her delicate body, driving her into the ground. Even though she had a treasure capable of blocking a Core Formation Stage attack, she couldn't hold out for long, ultimately perishing.

One by one, disciples died, elders with countless means perished, like wheat being harvested, unable to resist.

Xuan Yangzi's heart bled, he burned his blood and Qi, forming a blood array with his life soul, determined to kill Xu Hei at any cost.

But the mirrored figure opposite him also burned its blood and Qi, attacking with the same method, even stronger than him.

Xuan Yangzi immediately realized he couldn't act rashly; if he attacked in anger, the mirror image would do the same, even stronger!

When he changed his plan to protect the disciples, the mirror image directly attacked the crowd.

Xuan Yangzi was instantly at a loss.

Even if he wanted to leave, the mirror image blocked him, preventing any escape.

Xuan Yangzi's gaze was fixed on the mirror image before him, which also stared back, mirroring his every move.

"What kind of magical treasure is this, why is it so defiant of the heavens?"

Xuan Yangzi couldn't understand, the effects of this magical treasure were beyond his comprehension.

At this moment, the mirror image stared at him, suddenly revealing a sinister smile.

Seeing this smile, Xuan Yangzi's scalp tingled, goosebumps rising all over.

He clearly wasn't smiling, so why was this figure smiling?

Could it be, the other party had intelligence?

This wasn't an ordinary mirror image?

"What score would you give this magical treasure?" the mirror image suddenly sneered.

Xuan Yangzi's scalp exploded, involuntarily taking a step back.

The figure in front also stepped forward, maintaining the same distance.

"Who are you?" Xuan Yangzi's face darkened, shouting.

The other party didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, a mocking and ridiculing smile on its lips.

Xuan Yangzi's mind flashed through countless ancient texts, racking his brains for clues, but he was completely at a loss.

He couldn't fathom the principle behind this magical treasure!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he thought of a word—

Inner Demon!

The figure before him resembled the inner demons that ancient cultivators faced when breaking through.

Born from the heart, emerging from within, inner demons knew everything about you, the evil projection of a cultivator's heart.

There was also a theory that inner demons were transformations of extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons entering the body, but the truth was unknown.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Meteors fell, leaving the land scarred, countless cultivators crushed to death, the Snake Catchers Sect disciples nearly wiped out, less than five surviving.

They couldn't believe that an hour ago, they were hunters, about to blood sacrifice three million snakes.

In the blink of an eye, they were slaughtered, dead and wounded.

Regret surged in their hearts; if they had known, why get involved in this mess? What they thought was a great opportunity turned into a nightmare!

At the same time, Xu Hei suffered unprecedented injuries.

Not only from the collective attack of the Snake Catchers but also from the severe backlash of casting Falling Stars.

This move was originally for those at the Great Perfection Foundation Establishment Stage, relying on their abundant True Qi to perform.

Xu Hei was only at the early Foundation Establishment Stage, relying entirely on the Rejuvenation Pills and the Demon God Cauldron to forcibly refine and cast it.

The damage to himself was terrifying.

Even though Xu Hei took various healing pills to recover, the burning pain in his meridians and the mental exhaustion couldn't be alleviated.

His Divine Sense also felt waves of dizziness, nearly fainting, but he held on with sheer willpower.

Xu Hei had yet to transform into a true dragon, only taking the first step, forging dragon scales, achieving perfect Foundation Establishment.

He had reached his limit.

Looking around, the Snake Catchers present were almost all dead, the survivors severely injured, worse off than him.
