Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

"Humph, I thought you truly had some means, but it turned out to be just a few ants!"

Heavenly Spirit Huang Chi, of the Earth Attribute, glanced over the two battles where his side was dominating, finally turning his head back to stare coldly at the young human not far ahead.

The conclusion of those two battles was of no concern to Huang Chi. At this moment, his eyes were solely focused on this human youth in plain clothing.

Moreover, he believed that this human youth, without allies, was no match for him. Once he dealt with this kid, he could capture all the human cultivators below, perhaps even impress the king.

"Without allies, you're nothing in my eyes!"

Yun Xiao locked eyes with the Earth Attribute Heavenly Spirit, his soft voice making Huang Chi extremely furious. What right did a mere human at the peak of the Earth Bending Realm have to speak to him in this manner?

"Die!"

A deep shout came from Huang Chi, followed by a force that made many human cultivators below feel suffocated. The aura of the Earth Attribute Heavenly Spirit, even a tiny bit of it, was something those low-level practitioners couldn't withstand.

Only human cultivators at the Earth Bending Realm could barely maintain composure, but sensing this aura, they were undoubtedly more worried about Yun Xiao's situation.

The Strange Spirit of the Earth Attribute excelled in physical strength, not to mention this was a Strange Spirit of the Heavenly Rank. When it attacked, it seemed to pierce through the sky.

Boom!

A burst of power erupted violently, and when Huang Chi saw the human youth opposite him not even attempting to dodge, he couldn't help but mock, pronouncing the young man's death sentence in his heart.

After such a powerful strike, Huang Chi assumed that even if the youth survived, he would be crippled, completely losing the ability to fight further.

Who would have thought that when the energy dissipated, the outcome was not quite as he imagined?

Because that human youth, having extended his right leg to clash with him, had merely retreated a few steps, stabilizing himself quickly, and his aura wasn't even notably weakened.

No, the aura was not only not weakened but had increased at that moment, reaching the level of half-step Heavenly Rank. Sensing the aura change, so different from before, the Earth Attribute Strange Spirit couldn't help but feel a tumult in his heart.

Clearly, at that moment, Yun Xiao directly triggered his Five Elements Ancestor Veins Power, using it to break through to half-step Heavenly Rank, thus barely withstanding Huang Chi's powerful strike.

From the start, Yun Xiao never intended to use his peak Earth Bending Realm cultivation to withstand the attacks of a Heavenly Rank Strange Spirit. There was simply no hope of winning.

Yet even after triggering the Five Elements Ancestor Veins Power and using his most powerful right leg to counter, Yun Xiao still needed to retreat five or six steps under Huang Chi's strike, showing the sheer power of the Earth Attribute Heavenly Rank Strange Spirit.

Fortunately, this seemed to be a Strange Spirit strong person who had just broken through to the low-level Silver-grade Heavenly Spirit not long ago, otherwise, in that exchange, Yun Xiao wouldn't have simply retreated a few steps.

"Again!"

Having survived the strike, Yun Xiao roughly gauged the strength of the Earth Attribute Heavenly Spirit. He shouted with battle fervor, moving decisively first this time.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Though taken aback by Yun Xiao's physical power earlier, Huang Chi clearly regained his composure. Regardless, a half-step Heavenly Rank is not a true Heavenly Rank; as long as the opponent hasn't reached Heavenly Rank, he feels no fear.

Instantly, the sky exploded into the most intense battle, compared to the other two battles where humans were comprehensively suppressed. Yun Xiao occasionally managed to launch one or two counterattacks, which was already an admirable feat.

"Elder Wu, do you think Brother Yun Xiao can win?"

From Shenxiao Sect, the young prodigy Nie Xiaosheng had sweaty palms, eyes fixed intently on the battle in the sky, subconsciously muttering as if seeking reassurance from a stronger presence.

"In battles of this level, how could I predict… sigh!"

Listening to Nie Xiaosheng's query, Wu Yingjiang's gaze didn't waver at all. Though he claimed he couldn't predict, he ended with a sigh, which made Nie Xiaosheng's heart sink.

In truth, both Wu Yingjiang and Nie Xiaosheng could discreetly discern that in the three aerial battles, humans were indeed at a disadvantage.

The fight between Yun Xiao and the Earth Attribute Heavenly Spirit was somewhat better, with occasional counterattacks, but in the other two engagements, the Strange Spirit side had gained the absolute upper hand.

Moreover, aside from the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Red Feather and barely transformable Xue Ningxiang, the others, including Chi Yan, couldn't fly, needing continuous leverage to battle in the sky, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of combat.

This likely explains Wu Yingjiang's sigh. He must have recognized this problem long ago. If the current battle conditions persist, human forces will soon face complete defeat in all three battlefronts.

"Now let's see if Yun Xiao has any cards up his sleeve, or perhaps..."

Wu Yingjiang shifted his gaze from Yun Xiao's battlefield, looking towards the southern sky, thinking that if that Hu family's powerful lady who destroyed the entire Xiao family arrived, perhaps the battle could yet change favorably for the humans.

After all, according to the intelligence obtained by the Shenxiao Sect, that young lady of the Hu Family had once single-handedly slain the Xiao Family Patriarch, Xiao Zhenting, who was at the late stage of the Floating Life Realm.

With her power, these few low-level silver-grade Heavenly Spirits are probably not even a match, right?

Unfortunately, the southern sky was empty, without any human figure appearing, which caused the spirits of many human cultivators to gradually sink to the bottom.

Because the battle had continued for so long, and that human youth seemed to have no better way to turn the tide, could it be that the invincible prodigy youth was finally going to be defeated this time?

Boom!

Amidst the gazes of many human cultivators, a loud noise came from the sky, followed by a certain gray figure flying dozens of feet back, with its aura somewhat chaotic.

This gray-clad figure was naturally Yun Xiao. In the intense battle, the earth attribute Heavenly Spirit Huang Chi took the opportunity to strike him out, making him struggle to adjust his energy.

"Is that all you've got?"

The dominant Huang Chi sensed the disordered aura of the opponent with great satisfaction, and in the next moment, it saw the aura on that human youth change again, with red and blue lights appearing faintly before him.

Boom!

A special energy wave swept out from above, and then Yun Xiao stretched out his hands, with blood-red flames and extreme ice cold Qi spraying out from the palms of his hands, finally slamming them together forcefully.

"Is he going to use that move?"

Those like Wu Yingjiang below, upon seeing Yun Xiao's actions, felt a sense of familiarity. Sure enough, the next scene confirmed their suspicions.

"Roar!"

Moments later, a nearly ten-zhang-long Ice and Fire Giant Dragon appeared in the eyes of everyone, the dragon stretched across the sky, gliding through the nine heavens, and its emitted Dragon Power was just like the legendary Supreme Divine Dragon of the Nine Dragons Continent.

The nearly ten-zhang-long Ice and Fire Giant Dragon roared at the sky, then its enormous dragon eyes looked down, gaze fixed on the earth attribute Heavenly Spirit Huang Chi, as Dragon Power descended with immense might.

"Petty tricks!"

Seeing the formed giant dragon, Huang Chi showed no trace of surprise, instead sneering, and this sneer visibly enraged the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon.

This is the Nine Dragons Continent, and even though this is just an Ice and Fire Giant Dragon formed by Yun Xiao's Five Elements Ancestor Vein Power, its Dragon Power cannot be casually provoked by a mere mortal; Dragon Power is inviolable.

Moreover, the reborn Yun Xiao has undergone enormous changes. Within this Ice and Fire Giant Dragon lies a true trace of Dragon Power.

Swoosh!

So the next moment, the enormous dragon body lunged angrily at Huang Chi, mouth wide open as if it was going to swallow that small bodied creature into the dragon's belly in one gulp.

Judging by size alone, even if there were ten earth attribute Heavenly Spirit Huang Chi, they wouldn't compare to the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon.

Seeing this scene, many human cultivators below were filled with hope, thinking it'd be great if this strike could really take care of that earth attribute Heavenly Spirit.

"Watch my divine skill!"

However, just at this moment, just as the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon was within a few zhang of Huang Chi, the earth attribute Heavenly Spirit let out a deep shout.

Immediately everyone could clearly see that the earth attribute Heavenly Spirit Huang Chi, which had just been a little over a meter high, suddenly grew larger, reaching over ten zhang tall in just a short moment.

At this moment, Huang Chi was like a small mountain peak, or a colossus of stone standing between heaven and earth, its size almost matching the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon.

This is one of the innate divine abilities of the earth attribute alien spirit, and given Huang Chi's impressive origins, transforming into over ten zhang tall was a breeze for it.

In this way, the size gap between it and the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon was offset.

"Get out of my way!"

The giant Huang Chi lightly moved its right arm, and then its huge hand swung forcefully at the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon, resembling the colossal hand of The Immortal of Colossal Spirituality, appearing solid and heavy.

Boom!

Even though the massive hand seemed slow, the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon could not dodge it. There was a loud sound, and the previously imperious Ice and Fire Giant Dragon was swatted like a loach, flying into the nearby East Sea by the massive hand.
