Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

"Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow, it's really you!"

Yun Xiao stared intently at the human figure coming towards him, and his Earth Rank Advanced Power of Soul had already sensed that it was actually a human body possessed by a Strange Spirit, a thought flashed firmly in his mind.

The Long Xiao Battle God of the previous life had battled countless Strange Spirits, whether they were heavenly Great Powers born of Nature, or the Spiritual Wisdom born of flowers, plants, woods, and stones, there were tens of thousands of battles.

Therefore, Yun Xiao's understanding of Strange Spirits was unmatched on this Tenglong Continent, and even across the entire Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, he was the best.

Days ago, Yun Xiao speculated why the weather in Jin Shuang City was so peculiar, believing there was a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure within its bounds that could alter the cold and warm climates.

But what Yun Xiao did not guess was that the Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure was actually the legendary "Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow", and this Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure had cultivated Spiritual Wisdom, even possessing a human half-step Heavenly Rank powerhouse.

The so-called Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow was an extremely yin and cold object birthed deep within the Earth Core Fire after millions of years of evolution.

An ancient saying goes, the extreme shall revert: Earth Core Fire already possessed extremely strong fire attributes, yet within its depths, the emergence of such a remarkable object like Cold Stone Marrow was a marvel of heavenly creation, truly awe-inspiring.

And the Cold Stone Marrow born in this place not only possessed extremely strong Ice Cold Attributes but also underwent centuries of tempering by the Earth Core Fire, forming a special state of intertwined Yin and Yang.

The Spiritual Wisdom born of Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow, namely the Strange Spirit, naturally possessed both ice and fire attributes, and combined with Yin Yang Elder Gu Jitong, a human mutant cultivator, the two matched perfectly, complementing each other well.

Hoo... Hoo...

As Gu Jitong's body, controlled by the Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow Spirit, furiously attacked, even the climate of the sky seemed to be influenced, interweaving cold and heat, appearing extremely strange.

However, Yun Xiao was not affected by the peculiarity of these two attributes; instead, he showed a hint of fiery intent. Since the opponent came to him willingly, it would be unreasonable not to accept the gift.

Yun Xiao had some speculations about the Strange Spirit's ability to fly, thinking it might be an alternative use of the Yin Yang Attribute, but now was not the time to delve into these irrelevant matters.

"Die!"

Only moments later, the Strange Spirit of Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow was just a few feet from Yun Xiao, uttering a fierce shout from its mouth, before him appeared a massive vortex in blue and red.

"Yin Yang Devour, spin!"

Seeing Gu Jitong utter another low shout, the blue-red vortex had swiftly started rotating, emitting a powerful suction force, as if it wanted to devour Yun Xiao's entire body.

"Such a trivial Yin Yang Technique, how can it harm me?"

Seeing this massive Yin Yang vortex and sensing the suction force, Yun Xiao felt no fear; instead, he shouted, and his hands moved rapidly, spraying out a five-colored light from his body.

When the five-colored light manifested, Yun Xiao's entire aura seemed to change subtly, clearly he had summoned his Five Elements Ancestor Veins Power at this moment.

Summoning the Five Elements Ancestor Veins Power is different from activating it; it doesn't enhance one's Meridian Qi Cultivation but rather uses it to perform a powerful Meridian Technique.

The technique Yun Xiao was using wasn't the Unrivaled Ice and Fire Giant Dragon, although it's a strong technique he had used before, but the current effect was quite different from before.

Swish swish swish swish swish!

Five-colored light points danced before Yun Xiao, forming a circular pattern, which, as Yun Xiao's hands shifted the seal, also began to rotate rapidly.

Clearly, this was Yun Xiao's previously performed Five Elements Light Beam Meridian Technique, yet this time, instead of shooting out a five-colored light column from its center, it formed a fine point instead.

If someone looked closely, they would find this tiny point actually a light point rotated to the extreme, and within it, there was a terrifying devouring power emitting, bizarre and peculiar.

As Yun Xiao's power enhanced, his control over this new body became increasingly skillful, enabling him to explore more ways to utilize the Five Elements Ancestor Veins Power.

For instance, the usage of this five-colored light circle was initially to rotate clockwise to trigger attacking five-colored light beams to defeat enemies with great power.

But now, when Yun Xiao reversed the rotation from clockwise to counterclockwise, though the attack ceased, it generated another special effect: the Devouring Power.

"Hey, let's see whose Devouring Power is greater, yours or mine?"

Seeing everything within his control, Yun Xiao's face showed a confident smile, then his hand changed the seal again, making the tiny point within the Five Elements spin even faster.

At the same time, the suction from the Yin Yang vortex previously unleashed by the Strange Spirit mostly dissipated at this moment, as it was countered by Yun Xiao's Five Elements Devouring Light Points, no longer causing him the slightest harm.

Moreover, the devouring force that Yun Xiao activated using his Five Elements Ancestor Veins Power seemed to be reinforced by some ancient and primeval power, its effect so strong and bizarre that the face of the Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow's Strange Spirit instantly filled with suspicion and surprise.

"How is this possible? How could my Yin Yang Devour be defeated?"

As the energy within the Yin Yang vortex was suddenly being counter-devoured, the face of Gu Jitong, controlled by the Strange Spirit, changed dramatically. But no matter how much he tried to exert power, he couldn't change the current situation at all.

At this time, the so-called Yin Yang Devour performed by the Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow was no longer something inherited from Gu Jitong, but rather a special talent of the Strange Spirit itself. It was with this very technique that Gu Jitong was once defeated and had his spiritual wisdom seized.

In the eyes of this Strange Spirit of the Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow, no matter how strong that human youth was, he would be helpless under such devouring power, and at most would only last a little longer.

Who would have guessed that the final result was completely opposite to what the Strange Spirit of the Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow had imagined. Not only did its Yin Yang Devour fail to completely devour the human youth, but it was counter-devoured by some bizarre method unleashed by the opponent.

The Strange Spirit of the Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow was proficient in Yin Yang Fire and Cold Power. The combination of these two forces could cause great trouble to ordinary human cultivators or even Vein Demons.

And yet, in the hands of this human youth, the power of the Yin Yang Devour seemed like a mere plaything, easily dispelled. Feeling the energy of his Yin Yang Dual Power growing weaker, the Strange Spirit knew this attempt had entirely collapsed.

"Hmm? Not good!"

However, just as the Strange Spirit was silently seething with anger and unwillingness, something that terrified it even more happened.

The devouring power of the human youth opposite not only entirely consumed the power of Yin Yang Devour but suddenly surged towards its main body.

Yun Xiao's aim was not simply to break through the Yin Yang Devour. As soon as he recognized it to be the Earth Flame Cold Stone Marrow, he became exceedingly interested in it.

It was not only capable of significantly enhancing his physical strength but also promoting the Ancestor Vein Power of his Fire Attribute and Ice Cold Attribute.

The devouring power of the Five Elements Ancestor Veins exploded, causing the face of Gu Jitong, controlled by the Strange Spirit, to change drastically because that force was too formidable.

Earlier, when the Yin Yang Devour was consumed, the Strange Spirit hadn't sensed it very intuitively. It wasn't until the devouring power controlled by Yun Xiao surged towards his main body that he realized its sheer invincibility.

"Ah!"

A moment later, a mournful scream echoed from the sky, bringing joy to the faces of the crowd of human cultivators.

For they all saw that the human-shaped form of Gu Jitong was devoured without a trace by the peculiar light spots within the Five-Colored Light Ring.

"Did we... win?!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Nie Xiaosheng, Jun Tieshu, and others exchanged confused glances.

They originally thought that the Strange Spirit, having seized Gu Jitong, with its peculiar attributes, would definitely result in a battle even more intense than at Moyun City. Yet, they hadn't imagined it would end within just one or two rounds.

"It doesn't seem that simple!"

Wu Yingjiang's strength was, after all, much more formidable than that of young geniuses like Nie Xiaosheng. As he fixed his gaze on a certain spot in the sky and noticed the modest expression on the plain-clothed youth's face, he realized there might be something they hadn't discovered.

"Hey, not bad reaction speed!"

Yun Xiao in the sky, feeling the devoured human body, didn't dwell on it. Instead, he turned his gaze to a particular place and let out a soft chuckle.

"Ah, despicable human, I will definitely kill you, I definitely will!"

As everyone stood frozen, where Yun Xiao's gaze fell in the sky, a flash of blue and red burst forth. A roar filled with resentment descended from the sky, causing Nie Xiaosheng and others to understand what Wu Yingjiang meant earlier; matters were indeed not so simple.

At this moment in the sky, aside from Yun Xiao, the human youth, there was, not far in front of him, a peculiar object of red and blue hues.

The thing looked like an odd and incoherent stone, seemingly trying to transform into human form, yet, for some reason, the transformation was incomplete. In any case, it appeared both ominous and bizarre, to say the least.

The high-stakes battle in Jins Shuang City isn't over yet!
