Chapter 1681 - 1646: Divine Hall Ancestor

The massive black hole vortex stopped several hundred meters ahead of Thanos Saint, visibly drawing in the violent aura.

Thanos Saint's clothes flapped wildly, his hair and beard flying backward, yet his body remained unmoving, solid as a rock.

The black hole's spinning speed was increasing, possessing a devouring momentum.

The space surrounding the black hole began to warp and shatter.

Thanos Saint's expression showed discomfort.

He clasped his hands before his chest, conjuring a black spherical gas between his palms.

Thanos Saint was surrounded by a black sinister aura, the black sphere between his hands grew denser, almost becoming a solid entity, gleaming with liquid-like luminescence.

Thanos Saint pushed the sphere forward, shouting aloud,

"Break!"

The black sphere was propelled toward the Devouring Black Hole by Thanos Saint.

Simultaneously, Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Chief also pushed forcefully with both hands, causing the massive Devouring Black Hole to suddenly shrink and rush toward Thanos Saint.

In an instant, the Devouring Black Hole and the black sphere collided mid-air.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion ensued, a black gas wave thousands of meters high expanding around.

Yang Xiao felt his body vibrate, barely able to stand firm.

Nearby, Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Second shielded Third, casting a defensive Ice Wall ahead with both hands.

In the distance, the Divine Hall Elders and people like Jin Long retreated further.

The battle between Saint Level Supreme Transcendent experts was beyond their intervention, even watching was done from afar.

Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Chief and Thanos Saint both shuddered, their bodies shooting skyward.

"Haha..., Mystic Ice Winged Dragon, that's all you have,"

"Heh, Thanos Saint, your Realm isn't that high after all."

"Come on, keep fighting, let's see who falls first."

"Old man fears you not,"

...

The figures of Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Chief and Thanos Saint rose and fell in the distant clouds, with continual explosive sounds and the sight of void shattering, leaving the watching crowd trembling.

As everyone's attention was focused on the distant battle between Thanos Saint and Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Chief, a mysterious black-clad elder with a white beard suddenly flickered and rushed towards Yang Xiao and Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Second.

Yang Xiao exclaimed in surprise, gripping the Godslayer Sword ready for battle,

The mysterious black-clad elder, however, struck at Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Second with his palm.

A massive palm imprint tore through the air, splitting the void.

Yang Xiao had always kept an eye on this mysterious elder.

During his time in the Divine Hall, Yang Xiao had never seen or even heard of this person.

Now, as the mysterious elder acted, Yang Xiao immediately felt a tremendous oppression.

Another Saint Level Supreme expert?

"Ambush?"

Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Second sneered, his figure flashing to meet the imprint directly.

"Boom!"

A thunderous crash.

Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Second's body retreated explosively, spanning thousands of meters.

Yang Xiao was shocked, taking a closer look he saw Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Second standing in mid-air, spewing a line of blood.

Clearly, he'd been injured.

What? This mysterious black-clad elder defeated Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Second with one strike?

The Genetic Evolution of Saint Level Supreme Realm is divided into three levels: Primary, Intermediate, High-Level.

Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Third and Second are both at the Saint Level Supreme Primary Level, while the Chief is at the Intermediate Level.

The mysterious black-clad elder's strike retreated Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Second, indicating his Evolution Realm should be one level higher, reaching the Saint Level Supreme Intermediate.

Yang Xiao had learned during his cultivation at Shendu College that the Principal and Vice-Principal were Saint Level Supreme Transcendent experts, but Shendu College's elders never got involved in Thanos Saint's affairs and certainly wouldn't act as his henchmen.

The Principal, mentors, even students of Shendu College usually cultivated within the college, never casually assisting Thanos Saint with missions.

Where did this elder come from?

The black-clad elder glanced coldly at Yang Xiao, then flashed his figure toward the distant Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Second.

Second wasn't one to fall behind, his body surged,

"Roar——"

Transforming into a giant Dragon over a hundred meters long.

In the distance, Ying Tianmo and others shuddered suddenly feeling Extreme Cold Energy like needle pricks.

Second transformed into Mystic Ice Winged Dragon, immediately deploying the Ice Domain, the surrounding tens of kilometers enveloped by Extreme Cold.

"Roar——"

Second roared again, using the Divine Dragon Tail maneuver, unleashing a fierce Killing Aura toward the black-clad elder.

"Alright, today let me witness Mystic Ice Winged Dragon's might."

The black-clad elder spoke, spreading his hands, enveloping himself in a red halo, rushing toward Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Second in mid-air.

"Boom! Boom! Boom...."

Deafening sounds persisted in mid-air.

Yang Xiao flew beside Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Third, saying:

"Senior, what should be done now?"

Third glanced at Yang Xiao, saying:

"Kid, circumstances are quite dangerous now, my big brother and Thanos Saint's second are evenly matched, but my second brother cannot contend with that black-clad elder over time, I fear my second brother will face defeat. If I weren't injured, I could join forces with Second against that elder, alas,"

The only one who could assist Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Second was Yang Xiao, however, Yang Xiao was the new Divine Hall Chief Elder appointed by Thanos Saint, who had just ordered Yang Xiao to kill Mystic Ice Winged Dragon,

Third found it hard to ask Yang Xiao for help.

If Yang Xiao betrayed Thanos Saint instantly, fierce retaliation from Thanos Saint would surely follow.

Yang Xiao's Central Continent Empire, and his friends, not to mention his lover Xiao Qingliu, could suffer repercussions.

Yang Xiao considered these consequences too, yet with urgency pressing, what decision should be made?

...

"Roar——"

From afar came Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Second's roar, sounding ominous.

Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Third suddenly surged, transforming into Mystic Ice Winged Dragon, rushing towards the distant black-clad elder.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The thunderous explosions continued, within a hundred-mile radius, the Demon Beasts could feel the terror of war, many hid in caves trembling.

Some bold Demon Beasts rose into the air for a quick glance, then quickly descended, hiding in the forest or their nests.

"Bang!"

A loud noise, a massive shadow flew towards Yang Xiao's standing position.

Yang Xiao looked, it was Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Second, full of blood.

Yang Xiao tried to intercept the flying Second, but another loud crash was heard, Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Third's body also flew toward Yang Xiao's direction.

Yang Xiao lamented silently, yet hesitated not, flying to catch Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Second, then waved his hand to project a soft Strength to support the falling Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Third.

"Spurt!"

"Spurt!"

Both Second and Third spat two mouths of blood.

In mid-air, the black-clad elder strode toward Yang Xiao arrogantly.

The black-clad elder stopped several hundred meters from Yang Xiao, coldly uttering,

"Kill them!"

The elder clearly intended for Yang Xiao to kill Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Second and Third.

Yang Xiao glanced at the elder, covered in blood, indicating heavy injury, yet if he defeated Second and Third, his Combat Power certainly exceeded his own.

"You want me to kill them?"

Yang Xiao's left hand supported Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Third, right hand steadying Mystic Ice Winged Dragon Second.

"Or else?"

The elder displayed undeniable authority.

"Who are you? Why should I listen to you?"

Yang Xiao queried.

He wished to uncover the elder's true identity.

"Hahaha..."

The elder laughed heartily, hands behind his back, glancing coldly at Yang Xiao,

"I am the legendary Divine Hall Forefather, even Thanos Saint answers to me, do you dare defy?"
