277: Ziyou is angry, and the ancestor of the strange insects appears again!

You saw the black hand's movement and instantly knew what it wanted to do.

The Guichong Ancestor's hand wanted to hide among the black tentacles to evade Zi You's attack.

Clearly, Zi You's full-power strike had already posed a significant threat to the black hand.

As your words fell, everyone else launched attacks in the direction the black hand was retreating.

You were no exception, wielding the Great Void Immortal Sword, continuously severing the black tentacles protecting the black hand.

A moment later, a voice echoed throughout the entire Haotian Holy Land.

"Startling Rainbow!!!"

A long arc of Sword Qi, in this Haotian Holy Land shrouded in black mist, was like a beam of light intending to cleave through the sky-obscuring black mist.

Startling Rainbow charged towards the black hand's location. The black tentacles, seeing this, resisted Startling Rainbow like a tide.

However, these black tentacles were like sheets of paper; the moment they touched Startling Rainbow, they turned into ash and vanished.

But as soon as the black tentacles dissipated, new black tentacles would immediately take their place, continuing to block Startling Rainbow.

Ultimately, Startling Rainbow broke through all the black tentacles and rushed towards the black hand.

Boom—

A deafening roar, like a thunderclap, tore a gap in the black mist. A ray of sunlight pierced through the crack and shone into the Haotian Holy Land, landing directly on Zi You's face.

"Did it succeed?"

Lin Tian nervously watched the battlefield enveloped in black mist.

Under Zi You's Startling Rainbow, the black tentacles struggled to resist, eventually generating a large amount of black Qi that covered the battlefield.

The Sword Pavilion disciples watched the battlefield with anticipation, hoping Zi You had successfully killed it.

However, among those present, only you knew the truth.

There were ten such black hands. Even if one was killed, there were still nine such existences.

Zi You's eyes were fixed on the black mist not far away. In that instant, she could sense that the black hand's aura had vanished.

Just as Zi You's hanging heart slightly relaxed, she suddenly sensed nine auras rushing out from the black mist.

"Be careful!"

Zi You shouted to the crowd behind her.

The next second, nine black tentacles with hands pushed aside the black mist and appeared before everyone's eyes.

The nine black hands, like nine giant black Dragons, attacked the crowd.

Seeing this, you knew that if this continued, everyone would be killed.

You used the Great Void Art to appear beside Zi You, helping her resist the nine black hands.

Without using the Sword Emperor Successor's skills, dealing with these black hands was still a bit troublesome for you.

It wasn't that you couldn't defeat them; it just meant it would take some effort.

After a simple exchange, your heart suddenly trembled.

You were shocked to discover that these nine hands were even stronger than the ones you had encountered before.

You didn't understand why this time was stronger than last time.

You thought, could it be that last time you came alone, and this time, because there were many of you, the Guichong Ancestor sensed a crisis?

But very quickly, you directly dismissed this idea.

In your opinion, the last time, such a weak Guichong Ancestor was able to kill you without your knowledge, proving that its strength was not as weak as it appeared on the surface.

You recalled the differences between this time and last time.

Suddenly, you thought of a possibility.

This time, you arrived at the Haotian Holy Land almost a year later than the last time.

In other words, this half-year time difference meant that the power of the Law in the two periods, now and before, was completely different.

Things quickly became clear.

The strength of the Guichong Ancestor's descent into the Canglan Realm depended on the completeness of the Law.

If that was the case, then everything made sense.

Just as you figured all this out, you noticed that the Guichong Ancestor stopped moving, and the nine black tentacles with hands stopped their attack on you and instead retreated to the vicinity of the spatial rift.

"Hmm? Is it afraid of us now?"

"Damn it, we can't let it escape! We still need to avenge Apprentice-Brother Fang!"

Lin Tian looked at the retreating black hands and shouted angrily.

Everyone else also looked at this scene with great confusion; they didn't understand what the Guichong Ancestor was preparing to do next.

However, having experienced all this, you fully understood what the Guichong Ancestor wanted to do.

"It's coming out!"

You looked at the distant spatial rift and said in a deep voice.

"Who?"

"Who's coming out? Little Junior Brother, you need to be clearer!"

You didn't respond to the crowd, but instead stared intently at the spatial rift.

Seeing that you didn't speak, everyone followed your gaze towards the spatial rift.

The next second, everyone saw the nine black hands retract around the spatial rift and position themselves at nine different points around it.

Immediately after, to everyone's shock, the nine hands forcibly tore the spatial rift even wider.

As the spatial rift grew larger and larger, three blood-red beams of light peered through the rift towards the crowd.

"What... what is that?"

Lin Tian swallowed hard, pointing at the blood-red eyes in the spatial rift.

No one spoke, only you slowly opened your mouth.

"The Guichong Ancestor's Clone!"

As your words fell, the nine hands pushed hard, and the Guichong Ancestor leaped out from the spatial rift.

The moment the Guichong Ancestor emerged, the spatial rift began to slowly heal.

"This... this is the Guichong Ancestor?"

Everyone saw a giant ball of flesh with three blood-red eyeballs on it, and in the center of the fleshy ball was a mouth full of fangs, essentially an enlarged version of the mouth on the black hand.

The three blood-red eyes on the Guichong Ancestor's face rotated incessantly, moving to look at all of you from three directions.

You saw the blood-red eyes looking in three different directions and felt only a strange sense of unease, while at the same time, a hint of fear surged from deep within you.

This kind of fear was something you had never experienced even in the Tai Xuan Immortal Realm; you had never been so afraid even when facing an Immortal Lord's strangeness.

And the source of your fear was the unknown, terrifying methods of the Guichong Ancestor, which could make you lose consciousness and die in an instant, rendering your Divine Ability, Heavens Mandate Protection, unusable.

"Everyone, be careful!"

You had just opened your mouth to warn everyone to be careful when you realized that Zi You had already charged forward.

You looked at the reckless Zi You and followed, followed by Ye Chuxue and the others.

At this moment, Zi You's Qi had returned to normal, even a little weak.

The Guichong Ancestor opened its gaping maw and let out a roar.

Instantly, a terrifying aura surged towards you.
