472: misunderstanding

"How will you know without trying?"

Below.

Zhou Xiutong, covered in cyan-green armor, spoke in a low voice.

"Thunder Dao Body, merge!"

Boom!

Endless purple-gold lightning bloomed.

Within the lightning.

A purple phantom, hundreds of zhang tall, walked out from the lightning.

The phantom walked forward step by step, rapidly shrinking.

It merged into the cyan-green armor.

Boom!

An Aura that faintly broke through the boundary of the Middle Nascent Soul Stage rose from the cyan-green armor.

The Dragon Emperor set displayed its full power for the first time.

Above the cyan-armored figure.

A deep green, four-legged, three-clawed Yao Beast dragon phantom, thousands of zhang long, coiled and circled.

It was as if the Dragon Emperor, who once rampaged across the realm, had reappeared.

"Break!"

The cyan-armored figure wielded the halberd, pouring all of her mana into the zhang-long Dragon Scale Halberd.

Boom!

The Dragon Scale Halberd left her hand, piercing through the air.

"Roar!"

An illusory dragon roar sounded.

Above the cyan-armored figure.

The deep green, four-legged, three-clawed Yao Beast dragon phantom looked up and roared.

The dragon shadow rose.

Following the Dragon Scale Halberd that was piercing through the air.

Its dragon mouth opened wide, fiercely attacking the black figure beneath the Dark Moon.

"A mere pseudo-dragon, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

Watching the halberd and the Yao Beast dragon that had arrived before her in an instant.

The black figure's tone was cold.

Boom!

The zhang-long Dragon Scale Halberd, carrying immense power, flew straight toward the black figure's chest.

The black figure reached out a hand.

It seemed slow.

Yet it broke through the layers of mana enveloping the Dragon Scale Halberd.

Just as the Dragon Scale Halberd was about to pierce the chest.

A palm fiercely closed shut.

Grasping the buzzing, trembling Dragon Scale Halberd in its hand.

"Hmph!"

The black figure snorted softly.

The palm exerted slight force.

Bang!

The massive Yao Beast dragon phantom that had attacked along with the Dragon Scale Halberd shattered instantly.

It ceased to exist.

Hum!

The Dragon Scale Halberd trembled incessantly, attempting to break free from the palm's restraint.

But it was futile.

Whoosh!

The black figure flicked its hand.

Throwing the trembling Dragon Scale Halberd it held into the seabed below.

"Bring out your final trump card, otherwise, the number one Genius will fall today."

The black figure spoke coldly.

The hand that had thrown away the Dragon Scale Halberd opened.

A palm-sized, dim moon appeared out of thin air above the palm.

This palm-sized Dark Moon was identical to the gloomy moon that had previously enveloped the entire underwater ruin.

Only, it did not leak a single bit of Aura.

The more this was the case, the more dangerous it appeared.

That small, dim moon carried a mesmerizing, gloomy light.

Falling into the eyes of the cyan-armored figure below.

She only felt waves of fatal crisis.

"Old Ancestor, it is not that I want to disturb you, but the enemy is simply too strong!"

"Old Ancestor, save me!"

Zhou Xiutong howled in her heart.

At the same time.

Inside the cyan armor, within the storage item at Zhou Xiutong's waist, a large, pitch-black snake scale flickered with a faint, gloomy light.

Hum!

Within the domain transformed by the Dark Moon.

The surging lightning and the black figure suddenly paused.

Boom!

It seemed as if an invisible domain shattered.

The domain of the Dark Moon shattered.

The ruins of the Merman Royal Court were revealed once again at the bottom of the sea.

Also appearing.

Was a scene of utter devastation.

And two figures with different Auras.

Above.

The black figure, with a palm-sized, dim moon floating in its palm, looked up.

It seemed as if vast white mist came through the Void Realm.

Inside the white mist.

There seemed to be an incomparably huge figure moving slightly within the white mist.

Boom!

Just as the black figure looked over.

Two pupils, like great suns, shone through the clouds and mist into the black figure's eyes.

"A Primordial Spirit Clone has such strength."

"The Gui Zhou Island Zhou Family actually enshrines a Middle Stage Void Refining Yao Beast. Interesting, hahaha, truly interesting."

The dim moon in the black figure's hand dissipated silently.

Along with it, the black figure itself also disappeared.

But the black figure seemed unaware.

Wild laughter came from the remnant body that was turned into nothingness by the two great sun-like pupils.

The gradually dissipating black figure had already concluded in its heart.

It seemed it had long known it could not kill Zhou Xiutong.

And it seemed it had long anticipated that the figure swimming in the clouds and mist would descend.

At this moment.

In the instant of seeing this figure.

The black figure already knew.

Although what came here was merely a Primordial Spirit Clone of the Gui Zhou Island Zhou Family's Old Ancestor.

But just this one Primordial Spirit Clone was enough to reveal too much.

Void Refining Realm, thousands of Primordial Spirit Clones.

Merging into one.

If it were a Human Race Cultivator, it could possess seventy percent of the main body's strength.

If it were a Yao Beast or other race, their Primordial Spirit is naturally weaker than the Human Race, so even a merged Primordial Spirit Clone would only have about sixty percent of the main body's strength.

Therefore, the black figure concluded.

The Gui Zhou Island Zhou Family's Old Ancestor is a Middle Stage Void Refining Yao Race Great Power.

Boom!

The black figure's wild laughter stopped abruptly.

Its figure completely turned into nothingness and disappeared.

At the bottom of the sea.

A ten-thousand-zhang-large Black Giant Serpent, emitting a faint light, slowly appeared.

Two snake pupils, like great suns, looked toward the place where the black figure had vanished.

"Primordial Spirit Clone..."

The Black Giant Serpent whispered.

The words fell into the ears of Zhou Xiutong, who had removed her armor below, like a thunderclap.

"Old Ancestor, are you saying that this person is a Primordial Spirit Clone of a Void Refining Great Power?"

Zhou Xiutong's figure slowly floated up.

Arriving beside the head of the ten-thousand-zhang giant serpent.

She bowed and saluted to the Black Giant Serpent, asking.

"Correct."

Mo Xuan nodded.

"How could this be..."

Zhou Xiutong's heart could not be calm.

A Void Refining Great Power had actually taken action to probe her, a mere Middle Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

Zhou Xiutong felt it was absurd.

However, upon seeing her own Old Ancestor appear here.

Zhou Xiutong felt a chill in her heart.

"Old Ancestor, I fear this was to probe your strength..."

Zhou Xiutong had already realized.

Probing her talent was likely just incidental.

More likely, it was to probe her own Old Ancestor's strength.

After all.

Since the Zhou Family arrived in this Li Luan Sea Region.

The Old Ancestor had not yet truly taken action.

"It does not matter."

Mo Xuan watched for a moment, not caring.

His current cultivation had not yet reached the Middle Stage of the Void Refining Realm.

But this mysterious Void Refining expert had already viewed him as a Middle Stage Void Refining expert.

This is good as well.

Mo Xuan thought to himself.

It just so happens that he could use this to cover up the fact that his cultivation was rising rapidly, and also increase his own prestige; it could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

Let it be spread; the wider it spreads, the better.

Mo Xuan was filled with anticipation.

"Old Ancestor."

Zhou Xiutong's heart stirred.

She recounted the matter of the black figure saying it was entrusted by someone.

"This person should be from the Dark Moon Palace, and we have no grudges against them, so why act like this? What this person said is highly likely to be true. Could it be that someone in the alliance wants to probe our bottom line?"

Zhou Xiutong felt some worry.

The signs of this person's attack were somewhat similar to the Dark Moon Palace discovered by the alliance before.

"Whether it is true or false."

"In this world, strength is ultimately supreme."

Mo Xuan did not care.

His progress was extremely fast.

If there was any scheme.

By that time.

Perhaps he might have already achieved the Dao Integration Realm.

Mo Xuan did not say much, but he was not careless either, and already had some vigilance in his heart.

"Be careful, and return to the clan after you finish handling things."

Mo Xuan withdrew his thoughts and gave a word of instruction to Zhou Xiutong beside him.

With a first time, there might be a second.

If a Void Refining Realm Great Power were to take action against Zhou Xiutong in person.

He would likely not be able to save her in time.

After all, the difference in cultivation was too great.

It would not take an instant to wipe Zhou Xiutong out.

"Respectfully send off the Old Ancestor."

After Zhou Xiutong agreed, she bowed and saluted.

The ten-thousand-zhang black snake body disappeared at the bottom of the sea.
