Start slaying demons from the proficiency panel.

This is already considered to be against common sense.

"You're quite good at hiding things, but it's a pity that after hiding for so long, I've finally discovered you today." Ning Xiu looked down at the Demon Ancestor with a cold gaze.

This thing is too threatening. We absolutely cannot let it leave. Otherwise, if it has a moment of madness and opens the boundary again, all living beings will have to perish with it.

"You, do you really think I can't do anything to you?" The Black Demon Ancestor was furious when he saw that his path in front and behind was blocked.

Although he had survived the ordeal, he had still managed to outlive several Great Emperors. Yet now he was being looked down upon by Ning Xiu, a mere Dragon Elephant Realm cultivator.

It's like the village children are taking advantage of my old age and weakness!

puff!puff!

The Black Demon Ancestor's body was thumping, and wings burst forth from his body. In no time, his entire body was covered with wings.

On each wing grew a twisted, pained face. As they howled, resentful breaths billowed from their mouths, creating a foul, eerie atmosphere.

"I admit you have some strength! But you're just a mere Upper Dragon Elephant Realm cultivator; you have no idea what true strength is!"

The Dark Demon Ancestor had his own plans to make, and in order to prevent certain beings from discovering them, he had to conceal his trump cards.

Although he survives each yin tide and welcomes the arrival of yang light, the strength of the Black Demon Ancestor is greatly weakened, which means that although he has foresight far surpassing anyone else, he is unable to dominate the entire world.

Meeting Ning Xiu today, however, brought out his anger.

All the wings flapped in unison, heading towards Ning Xiu.

Each distorted face exhaled resentment, which coalesced into a massive beam of resentful light that enveloped Ning Xiu.

"Be careful!" Emperor Zhenyang instantly became extremely serious and hurriedly warned, "I didn't expect this guy to have mastered the use of the power of resentment. If you come into contact with this thing, your soul will be blown out of your body. At that time, countless resentments will take over your body, and you will never be able to take back your body."

Ning Xiu dodged to the side and immediately used the Spring and Autumn Cicada Step to easily evade the attack. However, the power of resentment was extremely strange and exploded on the spot the moment Ning Xiu dodged it.

It split into numerous orbs of light, filling every part of the sky, seemingly trying to seal off the area and leave Ning Xiu no room to escape.

No matter how fast Ning Xiu is, he will still be injured by the power of resentment if he collides with a ball of light.

Wary of Ning Xiu's somewhat unconventional speed, the Black Demon Ancestor chose to find a way to restrict his position and limit his range of movement.

Now that the plan had succeeded, a satisfied smile instantly appeared on the face of the Black Demon Ancestor. As long as he could control this human dragon-elephant realm cultivator, he would have no problem manipulating him.

Ning Xiu wanted to kill the Black Demon Ancestor to prevent him from having another chance to open the realm.

The Black Demon Ancestor also longed to kill this Demon Subduer, who was somewhat beyond his control and might threaten his plans in the future.

'Exterminate the resentful gods!' the Black Demon Ancestor shouted in his heart. All the resentful power that was originally suspended in the air began to shrink from all directions toward the center, at a speed that was beyond the range of the naked eye.

And at the very center is where Ning Xiu is.

Bang bang bang!

The forces of resentment collided with each other, triggering a deafening roar that eventually buried Ning Xiu's figure completely, devouring him without leaving a trace.

"Hehehehe..." Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the Black Demon Ancestor couldn't help but let out a strange laugh.

In his view, Ning Xiu had absolutely no chance of escaping his ancient forbidden technique.

[179] Point of Understanding

Countless streams of resentment gathered together, forming a massive skull that resembled a meteorite, floating in mid-air.

The skull was so solid that Ning Xiu's figure was completely invisible.

The power of resentment does not have the ability to directly harm the target, but it has an excellent effect on the soul.

No matter how powerful you are, once your soul leaves your body, that body becomes an empty shell without an owner. If another soul seizes the opportunity to take over, it can instantly leave you unaffected.

No matter how talented and powerful you are, without a body, you can't cook without rice.

In the era of Emperor Zhenyang, there were special cultivation techniques for the soul, which prevented the soul from easily leaving the body.

Based on the Black Demon Ancestor's understanding after so many years of lurking, the Great Shang Dynasty should not have such a technique, so Ning Xiu would definitely not be able to escape the effects of this move.

The Black Demon Ancestor felt extremely proud at the thought of obtaining Ning Xiu's body.

Now, with such a body possessing immense potential, if used for one's own benefit, daily achievements will undoubtedly be substantial, and it can absolutely provide tremendous assistance to one's plans.

But just as it was congratulating itself on its idea, a crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the skull.

Although the crack was very small, so small that it was hard to notice.

Buzz!

Pulls of fire shot out from the crack, turning into sparks that scattered across the sky.

This unusual phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of the Black Demon Ancestor.

"This is?"

boom!

The skull exploded instantly, and the power of resentment scattered everywhere.

At the very center of the power of resentment, a figure enveloped in flames appeared and disappeared, and no amount of resentment could penetrate the ring of fire surrounding this person.

"What?!" The Black Demon Ancestor was stunned.

He never imagined that Ning Xiu would be unaffected by the power of his resentment.

How could that be? There should be absolutely no ancient cultivation techniques left over from the past.

Ning Xiu's face emerged from the flames, his eyes blazing like a fire god descending to earth, seemingly oblivious to the surrounding resentment.

The Black Demon Ancestor never imagined that Ning Xiu, who cultivated the Black Heavenly Pagoda Supreme Body, could generate karmic fire.

Before the most unfathomable karmic fire, the so-called power of resentment is of little use.

Just getting close to Ning Xiu was enough to reduce them to nothingness by the karmic fire.

Ning Xiu slammed his palm down, and the flames around him instantly obeyed his control, transforming into a giant fiery palm in the air, engulfing the Black Demon Ancestor.

If this palm strike lands, even the Black Demon Ancestor would be either killed or crippled.

At this point, it had nowhere to retreat, and its methods, which it thought were sure to defeat Ning Xiu, had no effect whatsoever.

As the giant fiery palm drew ever closer, the Black Demon Ancestor cried out in panic, "Wait! Wait! I have a secret about the Xuan Yin Domain! This secret is of paramount importance to whether or not Yang Yao can be ushered in. If you kill me, no one in the world will ever know this secret again."

Ning Xiu remained calm, showing no intention of holding back.

"Wait! There's more! The Yin Tide is a conspiracy! The ones who brought the Yin Tide are within this realm. If we don't kill them, the Yin Tide will arrive every three thousand years, reaping the lives of all living beings in this world. Do you want to save the people of the Great Shang Dynasty? As long as I tell you the method, you can stop the spread of the Xuan Yin Domain!"

The Black Demon Ancestor was extremely agitated; it could sense that Ning Xiu truly wanted to kill it.

So he threw out all his trump cards at once, believing that Ning Xiu, as the Great Shang Demon Suppressor, would be very interested in these matters.

If you're interested, you'll inevitably risk your life.

At this moment, the Black Demon Ancestor truly understood what it meant to be a tiger fallen into the plains and bullied by dogs. If it were during his peak strength, how could an ant like Ning Xiu be so arrogant in front of him?

But now that their lives and safety are in the hands of the other party, they have no choice but to submit.

Anyway, the Black Demon Ancestor was used to it; nothing else mattered except living.

boom!

The giant flaming palm slammed into the ground, creating a palm print hundreds of feet long. Flames raged within the print, scorching everything in their path.

"Ah!!!" the Black Demon Ancestor roared in agony.

He couldn't believe it; he couldn't believe that Ning Xiu would ultimately choose to take action without the slightest hesitation.

Is this guy crazy? Doesn't he have even the slightest curiosity about the precious secret he possesses?!

The True Yang Emperor was also quite surprised. In fact, he was very curious about what the Black Demon Ancestor knew about the Yin Tide.

After all, it is now just a remnant soul, and has not inherited many memories from its previous life, but the Black Demon Ancestor is an old monster who has lived from several eras ago.

Such a person possesses invaluable information, and obtaining it would be of great help.

But Ning Xiu wanted to kill the guy who could attract extraterrestrial demons.

I can't sleep or eat properly if this guy doesn't die, and who knows if the secret the Black Demon Ancestor mentioned is true?

If he's doing something half-true and half-false, I won't be able to tell.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to kill them decisively, to end it all and prevent any future trouble.

"Ah!" The Black Demon Ancestor's body rolled around in the flames, trying to escape, but in addition to the Heaven-Burning Scripture, there were also some karmic fire mixed in with the flames.

Once you're tainted by karmic fire, it's very difficult to get rid of it.

Seeing the Black Demon Ancestor writhing incessantly, Ning Xiu summoned three spears and unleashed the Great Annihilation Spear Technique without hesitation.

No one can persuade him today; he is determined to end this insect demon's life.

The Black Demon Ancestor in the fire was so frightened that he unleashed all his potential. Having survived for several eras, how could he possibly die at the hands of Ning Xiu, a mere Dragon Elephant Realm cultivator?

This is so frustrating.

The body of the Black Demon Ancestor was split in two from the middle.

Then the two halves of his body ran off in different directions, and as he fled, his body continued to split apart.

Two parts divide into four, four parts divide into eight...

If this continues, the number will soon become so large that it will be difficult to search for them.

Each splitting body lays fresh eggs as it splits, and some burrow into the ground while others fly into the air.

In short, from all directions, above and below, the body of the Black Demon Ancestor was everywhere, dazzling and densely packed.

Since he was no match for Ning Xiu in terms of strength, he would use all the life-saving techniques he had learned over the years!

The Black Demon Ancestor's move, 'Myriad Clone Techniques,' had helped him escape numerous crises before this.

As long as one of his clones manages to escape successfully, the Black Demon Ancestor will be able to be reborn in another body and then enjoy great freedom.

As millions of insects fled in all directions, they protected each other from the flames, resulting in some insects being burned to death.

However, this will ensure that another group of insects are well protected in the fire and will not be affected.

"Interesting." Ning Xiu nodded appreciatively when he saw the Black Demon Ancestor use this method.

With such tricks, it's no wonder this guy has managed to survive every wave of the Dark Tide.
