"I refuse to believe that you, a mere cultivator, can possibly compete with us in terms of strength!" the Nine-Headed Serpent roared, causing the entire space to tremble slightly.
However, the more force the Nine-Headed Serpent exerted, the smaller the world Lu Yunhe transformed into shrank, and the stronger the pressure it could withstand.
Seeing this, the Nine-Headed Serpent's heart sank. Even its most powerful abilities couldn't defeat its opponent, which meant that even if the opponent was weaker than it, it could still retreat and run away at any time.
"Ancestor..."
...
Chapter 912 The Uneasy Great Serpent
Infinite world!
"Infinite World" is the home of the Infinite Orochi clan. Because there are more than ten terrifying progenitor-level beings in the Infinite Orochi clan, this place is also known as the first holy land of naturally born chaotic life.
There are more than ten Primordial Ancestors of Hunyuan, among whom the most powerful ancestor is naturally the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, one of the Nine Emperors of Hunyuan, and also the nominal leader of the Infinite Serpent Clan.
In the infinite world, a massive black serpent, far exceeding the length of the source world, is coiled and resting. Its every move exudes power that even surpasses that of the source world.
While the origins of ordinary Primordial Ancestors are not as powerful as those of the Origin World, these top-tier beings surpass the Origin World in both power and origin.
However, at this moment, the enormous body of the renowned Infinite Serpent Ancestor was covered with some terrifying wounds, and in many places, the serpent scales were shattered, revealing the flesh and blood beneath the skin.
The sharp aura emanating from the wound was enough to easily tear apart some world-class Chaos Origin.
"The power of a cultivator lord." The Infinite Serpent Ancestor seemed to have experienced a great battle and was currently resting and recovering from his injuries. At the same time, he was also carefully sensing the power from the Hunyuan Lord on his wounds.
Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.
Although the naturally born Hunyuan life form was proud, it had been beaten to this state, so it was naturally no longer appropriate to maintain a superior attitude.
By studying the cultivation practices and the Dao of cultivators, Hunyuan Life is also learning from them.
Unfortunately, this is not something that naturally primordial beings are good at, and they have not achieved much in this area.
Unlike cultivators, many cultivators at the Hunyuan level achieved their status through the Hunyuan bloodline, and even a cultivator lord attained enlightenment through the bloodline of the Hunyuan progenitor.
It's truly heartbreaking that an enemy can become stronger by taking advantage of you, but you can't take advantage of the enemy's strengths.
"Starlight, he's gotten even stronger!"
The Infinite Serpent Ancestor felt the power in his wounds, which was even stronger than in their last encounter, and the pressure in his heart also became even heavier.
Watching helplessly as the enemy grows stronger little by little while you yourself make no progress, and even your race makes no progress, is utterly despairing.
If it weren't for this, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor wouldn't have gone to such lengths to suppress the cultivators, because the pressure was simply too great.
"What terrifying talent! Star Brilliance is probably already comparable to the strongest in the Infinite Chaos Space!" The Infinite Serpent Ancestor's eyes flashed with deep apprehension.
To rise to the top in one step, from a lowly life form to a lord-level existence, is a miracle in the entire infinite primordial space.
In addition to the attacks from the Starburst, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor also preserved the attacks from other cultivators and lords.
Such injuries were insignificant to the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, and it would recover quickly. However, it was more interested in using this opportunity to observe the power of the cultivator lord.
Unfortunately, this requires too much talent, and it's difficult for lords to learn from each other, let alone naturally born beings with vastly different systems.
The more the Infinite Serpent Ancestor studied it, the more his head ached. He couldn't understand it at all. He clearly felt that the power wasn't that special, but after using it, it possessed incredible power.
This overwhelming power from a higher level made the Infinite Serpent Ancestor extremely unwilling.
You should know that cultivators have always been eyeing these progenitors, wanting to obtain more and stronger Hunyuan bloodlines to make themselves even stronger.
Just as the Infinite Serpent Ancestor was troubled, he suddenly received a connection from his bloodline.
The Infinite Chaos Space is too vast, and ordinary means of communication are of little use.
Moreover, limited by their innate bloodline talents, these naturally born chaotic beings cannot easily create clones for cultivators unless they possess the corresponding talents.
Therefore, for beings born with a primordial chaos, communication primarily relies on running, and secondly on bloodline connection.
The stronger one is, the farther away the sense of bloodline becomes.
The strength of a world-class Chaos Origin is enough to sense things within the infinite Chaos Origin space.
"Jiuqi!"
The Infinite Serpent Ancestor gently raised its head. A world-class Chaos Origin was not a low-ranking figure in the race, enough to catch the eyes of the progenitors.
Especially for little guys like Nine-Headed Serpent, who have a slight chance of becoming the progenitor, they can communicate directly with the Serpent Ancestor.
The world-class Hunyuan, second only to the Hunyuan progenitor, is naturally also the core of the clan.
"Is there a problem?"
A heavy voice rang out, and the Infinite Serpent Ancestor asked directly, "If there's nothing important, these little guys shouldn't dare to bother us."
"Serpent Ancestor, I have discovered a cultivator who appears to be a wild, world-class Chaos Origin cultivator?"
The reason why the Nine-Headed Serpent used the word "suspected" was because the other party's performance was somewhat astonishing, leaving it unsure of what to do.
Not only that, the Nine-Headed Serpent was even worried that it might be a conspiracy by the cultivators, who deliberately arranged for a cultivator who had just broken through to lure it.
Then, using it, they could lure out the Primordial Ancestor behind the Infinite Serpent Clan.
The cultivators have just suffered a defeat, so they might use some underhanded tactics to try and salvage the situation.
Therefore, the Nine-Headed Serpent went directly to the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, an immortal being.
While cultivator lords can kill ordinary progenitors, they are equally helpless against immortal beings; the two are on the same level.
The Nine-Headed Serpent relayed all the information it had learned through its bloodline connection.
"A world-class Hunyuan I've never seen before, he must have just broken through."
Sensing the aura emanating from Nine-Headed Serpent, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor realized that it was indeed not the world-class Hunyuan cultivator he had previously known.
There are not many cultivators at the world-class Hunyuan level, so the Infinite Serpent Ancestor has specifically investigated the relevant information.
There was no other way; the vast majority of the Chaos Lords were born from world-class Chaos Sources, which forced even the Infinite Serpent Ancestor to take them seriously.
Especially those world-class Hunyuan with extraordinary talent, sometimes even become targets of the progenitors.
The probability of breaking through the Hunyuan Ancestor is obviously higher for those born with Hunyuan life forms, and it can even be said that they are far ahead.
However, if we start counting from the world-class Hunyuan (primordial chaos), then it's the other way around.
Not to mention that once a world-class cultivator of the Chaos Origin realm breaks through, they become immortal and indestructible, surpassing ordinary progenitors.
"These fundamental paths, what terrifying comprehension!" The Infinite Serpent Ancestor, sensing the aura within, was equally astonished.
Thousands of fundamental paths—this number is simply unbelievable. Even if most of them are only at the entry level, it's still terrifying.
This reminded the Infinite Serpent Ancestor of another cultivator lord—Yuan, who had also comprehended a vast amount of the Great Dao of Origin, but in terms of quantity, he was probably not as good as this cultivator.
“He has the potential to become a lord, he’s practically the next Yuan.” The Infinite Serpent Ancestor’s gaze was fixed, and the upper half of his massive serpent body stood up, his serpent eyes extremely serious.
Yuan is the first known lord among cultivators, and his strength is terrifying. Even in the entire Infinite Chaos Space, he can definitely be ranked in the top ten.
Moreover, starting from the beginning, the rise of cultivators was simply unstoppable, with one lord after another emerging.
Now, it seems that only by uniting all the naturally formed, primordial beings can the cultivator lord be suppressed.
Although the naturally formed chaotic life forms gained a lot of advantage in these wars and reclaimed some world groups, more and more progenitors were willing to join them as the cultivator lords became stronger.
But the reality is not like that at all; the original cultivators were not taken seriously by them.
Even Yuan, in the beginning, could only occupy a few world clusters based on his strength.
The entire infinite space can be said to be a paradise for naturally occurring primordial beings, but now the entire cultivator camp spans thousands of world clusters, most of which were snatched from them.
Having conquered only a few world clusters, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor showed no sign of complacency.
The Infinite Serpent Ancestor is already considering launching an even larger war to curb the development of cultivators.
"If another Yuan appears, no, if it's just a lord."
The Infinite Serpent Ancestor's body twitched, and the wounds on his body vanished without a trace in an instant, as if they had never existed.
"I won't allow it!"
The Infinite Serpent Ancestor's eyes gleamed with coldness; for the sake of his race, even paying a price was worthwhile.
“This shouldn’t be a trap for cultivators, and those lords wouldn’t allow someone with the potential to become a lord to take such a great risk,” the Infinite Serpent Ancestor pondered.
Even among cultivators in the world-class Chaos Origin Realm, there are differences in their potential to become lords, and this cultivator is clearly one of the best.
The value of a lord is self-evident, and there is clearly no need to take such a risk.
"He really is a wild cultivator, so similar to Yuan..."
The Infinite Serpent Ancestor sensed the location of Nine-Headed Serpent through its bloodline and prepared to descend in person.
Although the opponent is a threat, it doesn't change the fact that he is only a world-level Chaos Source. The Infinite Serpent Ancestor could easily crush him with a flick of his finger.
"Jiuqi, keep him trapped, I'm coming right away!"
The Infinite Serpent Ancestor raised his body and went there personally, but before setting off, he prepared to communicate with the other ancestors. The situation was special now, and if any problems arose, the ancestors could support each other.
……
"The Serpent Ancestor is coming in person!"
Upon learning through bloodline connection that the Serpent Ancestor was coming in person, the Nine-Headed Serpent immediately showed delight.
The cultivator in front of me is just troublesome; given time, I can still defeat him. But killing him, capturing him alive, or preventing his escape is a different story.
Therefore, the Nine-Headed Serpent was afraid that things might go wrong if things didn't go smoothly, so it notified the Serpent Ancestor.
I originally thought that the Serpent Ancestor would send other progenitors, but I never expected that he would take action himself.
"You're dead, cultivator!"
The Nine-Headed Serpent looked at the cultivators who were still stubbornly persisting in its infinite space, and felt a deep resentment in its heart.
It had already pushed its innate abilities to the limit, but it still failed to break through the cultivator's defense. The seamless defense gave it a feeling that it was completely unable to make a move.
"If you can withstand my attack, I don't believe you can withstand the attack of the progenitor."
Even so, the Nine-Headed Serpent was still trying its best, at least to let the soon-to-arrive Serpent Ancestor see its efforts.
"Ok?"
Lu Yunhe, who was using the pressure of the Nine-Headed Serpent to temper his divine body, also noticed the strange mental fluctuations of the other party.
