Ancestral land, absorbing the mirages of the same clan.

Under the watchful eyes of Su Ming and Luo Ningshuang, Su Wenjian approached the massive corpse of the Reincarnation Dragon Centipede.

Seeing that the giant corpse showed no movement, Su Wenjian reached out, attempting to pull that drop of blood into his hand.

The previously unresponsive Reincarnation Dragon Centipede corpse suddenly snapped its mouth shut, holding the drop of blood inside to prevent an outsider from taking it.

The aura it emitted had surprisingly reached the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm!

Su Wenjian's expression tightened upon seeing this, and he looked back at Su Ming and Luo Ningshuang.

Although it was just a corpse, the aftershocks of the battle could still affect the two juniors.

Most importantly, it was about the endurance of this Secret Realm.

If this Secret Realm could not withstand a battle at the Heavenly Dao Realm and shattered, the associated Endless Fierce Domain would also be destroyed.

Countless Cultivators within could be swept into the spatial turbulence during the collapse of the Secret Realm, with no hope of survival.

Furthermore, the Legacy blood of the Reincarnation Dragon Centipede would be exposed to the public eye.

Under so many complicated conditions, Su Wenjian still felt considerable pressure despite facing only a corpse.

Thus, Su Wenjian raised his hand to open a space channel and then struck the Reincarnation Dragon Centipede corpse into it with a single blow.

Seeing Su Wenjian about to step into the space channel for a life-and-death struggle with the corpse, Su Ming immediately called out, "Grandfather, catch!"

He threw the heaven-destroying whip directly toward Su Wenjian.

After the latter caught it steadily, he immediately rushed into the space channel.

Soon after, a terrifying burst of spiritual energy erupted from within, shaking the entire Secret Realm until it was on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, as the space channel gradually closed, the vibrations also subsided.

However, the worry on the faces of Su Ming and Luo Ningshuang did not diminish in the slightest.

Although both knew Su Wenjian would not lose, what if?

"Ningshuang! There's something in the crater left by that corpse!" the Jade Pool Empress suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Luo Ningshuang quickly shared the information with Su Ming.

"There's something in the crater?"

Su Ming quickly looked into the crater, but Fortune and Blessing showed no reaction.

"Jade Pool Empress, are you truly certain there's something inside?"

"Why would I lie to you at a time like this? There's definitely something in there," the Jade Pool Empress hurriedly defended.

Su Ming thought for a moment and finally decided to head into the crater to investigate.

With the heaven-reaching pagoda active at all times, Su Ming led Luo Ningshuang slowly toward the edge of the crater.

Looking inside, Su Ming saw something resembling an egg pulsating continuously.

The hole grew narrower the further down it went, making it difficult for both of them to explore together, so Su Ming suggested, "Ningshuang, you go into the heaven-reaching pagoda first; I'll go down and check the situation."

Luo Ningshuang also understood the urgency and quickly replied, "Okay... the Jade Pool Empress wants you to be careful. Besides that thing, there seem to be other Reincarnation Dragon Centipede corpses down there."

"I will proceed with caution."

After sending her into the heaven-reaching pagoda, Su Ming cautiously moved downward.

Based on the previous situation, the zombies formed from the dead Reincarnation Dragon Centipedes in this place were at least at the Great Void Realm.

Although they hadn't reached the level where they could break through the defenses of the heaven-reaching pagoda, since there was a Heavenly Dao Realm zombie, there might also be a Chaos Realm one.

In any case, it was always right to be cautious.

Soon, Su Ming reached the bottom and came before the egg-like object.

It looked as if some creature was about to hatch from inside, yet Su Ming couldn't sense any sign of life within it.

Just as Su Ming was utterly confused, Shen Ming suddenly lunged at the egg uncontrollably, piercing it with fangs and the tubes extending from its claws to begin sucking.

Such a bold move startled Su Ming instantly.

Fortunately, the surrounding zombies didn't show any reaction to it.

As Shen Ming continued its absorption, the egg before him gradually shriveled up, eventually turning into a pile of powder.

As for Shen Ming's strength, it broke through to the eighth level of the Void Realm.

"Master, I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself..."

Shen Ming said, though for some reason, its voice carried a hint of sadness.

"It's useless to talk about that now. First, tell me what this egg was."

"It was an unhatched kin. After being trapped and locked here, it completely lost the chance to be born and turned into the purest energy."

"After devouring it, I saw some of its memories... This is the Ancestral Land of the Reincarnation Dragon Centipedes. This is where the candle dragon blood originally fell."

"This kin I absorbed was the most recognized Genius of my race after its egg was laid, the one with the highest hopes of refining the candle dragon true blood."

"But because of the sudden appearance of the Chaos Dao Lord, the entire Ancestral Land of the Reincarnation Dragon Centipedes was slaughtered."

"Afterward, the Chaos Dao Lord used our racial characteristics to eternally fix the time in this place and create a continuous Reincarnation."

"As for the Endless Fierce Domain, it seems to be a Secret Realm that naturally formed over a long period from the methods left behind by the Chaos Dao Lord."

After hearing Shen Ming's narration, Su Ming found it somewhat unbelievable.

This place was the Ancestral Land of the Reincarnation Dragon Centipedes; never mind the centipede nest where the Candle Dragon's true blood had fallen.

The destruction of this place was actually the work of the Chaos Dao Lord.

As the last Limitless Realm to appear in the world, why would he do such a thing?

Whether it was the candle dragon true blood or the 'chronal marrow fluid' within the Reincarnation Dragon Centipedes, none seemed like something a figure of the Chaos Dao Lord's level would be interested in.

"Are there details in those memories about why the Chaos Dao Lord wiped out the Reincarnation Dragon Centipede race?"

"No, Master, there are none..."

When Shen Ming said this, its tone contained a slight sob, as if it were empathizing with the death of its kin.

"Master, let me carry you up. With me here, those kin who have turned into corpses will not have any reaction."

Shen Ming immediately revealed its true form, a Heaven-Swallowing Dragon Centipede over twenty meters long appeared before Su Ming.

"Alright."

Su Ming leaped onto Shen Ming's head, letting it carry him back to the surface.

Along the way, a large number of Reincarnation Dragon Centipede corpses emerged from the ground, but they only went as far as sticking their heads out for a look.

With Shen Ming protecting him, Su Ming returned to the surface safely.

Just as Su Ming was about to land on his own, he found that Shen Ming didn't seem to have any intention of changing back to its original form.

However, considering it had accepted the memories of its kin, Su Ming could understand why.

Considering it was currently safe, Su Ming let Luo Ningshuang out.

"Su Ming, are you okay?" Luo Ningshuang asked nervously.

"I'm fine..." Just as Su Ming was about to tell Luo Ningshuang everything that had happened, a crack suddenly opened in the sky above them.

Then, a disheveled Su Wenjian stepped out, holding the heaven-destroying whip in his hand, with a small bell now resting on his head.

"Grandson, Granddaughter-in-law, look."

Su Wenjian opened his palm, and a drop of dark red blood floated there; he had already obtained the Ancestral Blood of the Reincarnation Dragon Centipede.
