Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

"It's Kong Fang!"

Jin Buhuan exclaimed, "He's been following us this whole time?"

Baili Hong's face darkened: "No, he's been waiting for us to find the entrance!"

Without another word, White Tiger Killing Qi erupted with a boom, and he charged toward the outside of the passage with his saber raised.

But he had barely taken a step when a slender arm blocked his path.

Luo Qinghan shook her head and said: "Don't go."

"Second Senior Sister!"

Baili Hong said excitedly: "Lao Jiu is out there alone, this is too dangerous!"

Luo Qinghan said in a deep voice: "This is Senior Brother Changqing and Kong Fang's appointment battle. If you rush out to help, he won't be grateful; instead, he'll feel..."

Mo Li continued: "He'll feel you look down on him!"

At these words, Baili Hong's expression shifted slightly, and in the end he helplessly took a deep breath: "Fine!"

……

……

On the other side, Xu Zhangqing and Kong Fang fought farther and farther away.

The aftershocks of a human and a yao clashing were too great; if they continued to stay here, they would likely disturb the passage's stability, even forcibly close it.

Therefore, whether it was Xu Zhangqing or Kong Fang, both were deliberately moving away.

The light at the entrance grew more and more distant in their vision, finally turning into a faint star point.

After Xu Zhangqing confirmed there was no one else in the surroundings, he withdrew the portion of Creation Power he had originally used to shield against outside detection.

To put it bluntly, no more pretending!

Return to Origin activated, instantly condensing into three layered defensive barriers around him.

Each barrier's rotation direction was opposite to the other two; the legal interference produced when the three barriers rotated alternately meant any attack attempting to penetrate the defense would be simultaneously dissolved by at least two barriers from different directions.

Not only that, the fingers of his left hand curled slightly, and the Return to Void Finger condensed a cluster of dark green light halo at his fingertips, ready to strike at any moment.

As for his right hand, it still maintained continuous output of Five-Color Elemental Light.

Red, white, yellow, black, green — five colors circulated and flowed.

However, Kong Fang's state was not quite the same as Xu Zhangqing had expected.

Seven hundred-plus years ago, his Seven-Colored Demonic Light was tyrannical, but it had a pattern.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple — seven colors flowed in sequence; the color order of every strike could be predicted in advance.

But now, the Seven-Colored Demonic Light on Kong Fang's body had completely lost any fixed flow sequence.

The seven colors emerged simultaneously around him in a near-chaotic manner, no longer flowing in sequence but all seven at once, changing in an instant.

What concerned Xu Zhangqing even more was that in the depths of this seven-colored radiance, an extremely primordial power surged ceaselessly like a volcanic eruption.

Each surge caused the surrounding space to produce a visible tremor.

This power resembled some extremely primordial aura.

Though it was only a wisp, the energy it contained was astonishingly vast.

And every time Kong Fang mobilized the Seven-Colored Demonic Light, this power would surge toward his tail feathers, and then at the moment the seven colors were about to take shape, explode a layer of gold-red patterns.

Xu Zhangqing's pupils shrank slightly: "Could it be the Ancestral Spirit Source?"

Kong Fang stood opposite, tail feathers spread in the darkness; the seven-colored light on every feather was more dazzling than at any previous time. He nodded: "Correct. I not only found the Yong Ji Gu Dian, but also discovered the Ancestral Spirit Source inside."

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "Your luck is truly heaven-defying!"

But on second thought, it felt only natural.

After all, the biggest competitor, the Demon God Wan Tong with fifty thousand years of Dao Xing, had already been killed by him and the other party joining forces.

The remaining Demon Gods were no longer worth fearing.

At this moment, Kong Fang raised his right hand; gold-red light jumped continuously in his palm.

It looked like a living thing he was forcibly suppressing in his palm.

The Dead Silence Power within a thousand zhang around them dissipated rapidly like water evaporated by high heat, leaving behind an absolute vacuum environment.

The current situation was that Kong Fang wanted to draw bloodline power from the Ancestral Spirit Source, even completely refine this power, completing the transformation from Demon God to First Ancestor Yao.

What was needed was not secluded cultivation, not slow digestion, but a true battle.

Only under the immense pressure of a life-and-death line would the primordial bloodline contained in the Ancestral Spirit Source be thoroughly activated, then fuse into every inch of Kong Fang's yao body, completing the final and most important transformation.

This was one of the reasons why he insisted on intercepting Xu Zhangqing at the entrance.

And the other reason, naturally, was to facilitate leaving the Eternal Night Ruins.

At this time, Xu Zhangqing suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing at you!"

"Laughing at me?"

The other party's attitude made Kong Fang somewhat uncertain.

Xu Zhangqing said seriously: "You sought me out not because we have a grudge, but because you need an opponent weighty enough yet beatable."

To this, Kong Fang did not deny: "Correct, that's exactly it."

First, it just happens to fulfill an agreement made over seven hundred years ago.

Second, to take this opportunity to thoroughly set foot on the path of the Demon Ancestor.

Xu Zhangqing fell silent for several breaths, then suddenly flipped his right hand; an egg appeared in his palm. He held it up with one hand and asked with a smiling face, "Guess what this is?"

"What is it?"

Kong Fang stared fixedly at that egg, a flicker of alertness flashing in the depths of his pupils.

"Does it feel somewhat familiar?"

Xu Zhangqing smiled and said, "This is an Innate Dragon Embryo I accidentally found in the Gui Xu Dragon Tomb."

Its predecessor was the Second Demon Ancestor, the Dragon Ancestor.

And the Ancestral Spirit Source in your hand happens to be the bloodline power it left behind."

Previously, he had been somewhat doubtful.

Why the name of this Innate Dragon Embryo was exactly the same as the Second Demon Ancestor's.

Until he saw the Ancestral Spirit Source in Kong Fang's hand, and finally understood everything.

After the Ancestral Dragon reincarnated, he left his bloodline power in the Eternal Night Ruins.

Therefore, it became the Ancestral Spirit Source that countless demons flocked to.

In other words, if Xu Zhangqing had not gone to the Gui Xu Dragon Tomb, he would not have discovered this dragon egg, and there would not have been the events that followed.

Normally speaking, Kong Fang would absorb the Ancestral Spirit Source and become one of the newly risen Demon Ancestors!

But fate sometimes likes to "play jokes."

Clearly the Ancestral Spirit Source had already been obtained by Him, yet such a dramatic scene appeared.

"Ancestral Dragon reincarnation?"

Kong Fang stared at that dragon egg for a long time, then suddenly threw back his head and laughed loudly; the arrogance in his laughter grew increasingly obvious: "Hahaha, isn't this heaven helping me?"

Originally, he felt that a single wisp of bloodline power might be somewhat insufficient.

Now, the appearance of this Innate Dragon Embryo is just right.

Once I absorb all the essence within, not only will I become the new generation Demon Ancestor, but I will even surpass the Second Dragon Ancestor!

"You're laughing too?"

"You are simply my noble person!"

"Is that so?"

This time, it was Xu Zhangqing's turn to be somewhat surprised.

"Xu Zhangqing!"

After Kong Fang finished laughing, Seven-Colored Demonic Light surged to an unprecedented brightness, the Seven Kill Fan appeared in his hand, and the seven-colored radiance on the fan surface flowed like a living thing. He said fiercely: "Originally, I wanted to spare your life, after all we both come from the Tianyuan Realm."

Now, let you and this secret be buried together in the Eternal Night Ruins!"
