Forcibly Devouring the Ancestral Talisman
"Devouring Ancestral Symbol!"
Seeing the mysterious runes, Ying Huanhuan became somewhat excited, while Qing Tan was a little curious. Before coming, Ying Huanhuan had told her what the Devouring Ancestral Symbol was, but she still didn't really understand.
Xiao Ming took two steps forward and slowly extended his right hand. Just as he was about to touch it, the black light that had been motionless finally stirred. A thin ring of black light slowly spread out from it.
The numerous black veins within the black orb began to writhe at this moment, then shot out rapidly, condensing on the orb and, in the blink of an eye, forming a phantom the size of a human head.
"Those who do not gain recognition have no chance with the talisman!"
A hollow and ancient voice suddenly emanated from the phantom's mouth, and then a finger was extended and gently pointed at Xiao Ming.
"Bang bang!"
As the finger was pointed out, an extremely mysterious power surged out from the fingertip. Instantly, the surrounding space turned ashen, and the powerful Yuan Power contained within seemed to have been stripped of its life.
"The Power of Death! This phantom actually possesses the strength of the Death Xuan Realm!"
Ying Huanhuan knowledgeable. When she saw the illusory figure make a move, she exclaimed in surprise. Death Xuan Realm could become a powerful elder in the Dao Sect, and this was just an illusory figure. Just how strong was this person in life?
Qing Tan clenched her small hands tightly. After these two days of instruction, she had gained some understanding of cultivation realms. The Death Xuan Realm was a realm of immense power that she had never dared to dream of before. Could her master handle it?
However, facing the attack from the phantom, Xiao Ming merely raised his eyes slightly, and then divine light emanated from them, a beam of light shooting out and flying to the phantom's fingertip. 69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼
"Hiss!"
That gaze seemed to possess an extremely strong ability to attach itself, expanding from its fingertips to its entire body at an astonishing speed. Then, the illusory image transformed into faint specks of light, drifting away with the wind and disappearing without a trace, creating a scene that was somewhat beautiful for a moment.
"That's it?"
Ying Huanhuan didn't react immediately, her eyes somewhat dazed. Although she wasn't as worried about Xiao Ming as Qing Tan, after all, the master her father had found for her should at least be of the same strength as him, right?
Dealing with someone at the Death Xuan Realm is a piece of cake, but isn't the process a little too easy?
Shouldn't it be that Master waved his hand, causing the Origin Energy of heaven and earth to surge violently, leading to the collapse of the sky and the cracking of the earth, before slapping the illusory figure to death with a few blows?
That one glare and the other person died—isn't that a bit too hasty?
Although somewhat surprised, Ying Huanhuan realized one thing: her master was even stronger than she had imagined!
"Master is so amazing!" Qing Tan's reaction was much simpler; seeing Xiao Ming easily deal with the illusory figure, her eyes were filled with admiration.
"This is a secret soul technique I created before, called Divine Consciousness Gaze. I've improved it many times since then, and its power is quite good. If you like it, I'll teach you next time."
Xiao Ming laughed, saying that this move requires a high level of Spiritual Power, but he had plenty of things that could increase Soul Power.
"Great! Great!" Qing Tan and Ying Huanhuan nodded happily as they heard that Xiao Ming would teach them this.
As Xiao Ming dealt with the illusory figure, the black ball of light began to dissolve layer by layer.
As the black light dissipated layer by layer, the ancient runes hidden deep within, like a black hole, were finally exposed to their very eyes.
An ancient rune floated silently in front of Xiao Ming. This rune was not large, only about the size of a human head. Moreover, this rune did not have a fixed trajectory, but was constantly writhing and changing.
However, no matter how the runes changed, their shape remained the same as a slowly rotating black hole, with a domineering devouring power capable of swallowing heaven and earth seeping out bit by bit, causing the space itself to ripple.
This is a black hole, a symbol of heaven and earth formed from the condensation of a black hole!
"Tsk tsk, so this is the legendary Devouring Ancestral Symbol? It is indeed incredibly mysterious! And its characteristics are somewhat similar to those of the Nihility Devouring Flame."
Xiao Ming turned around and kept examining the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Teacher, what should we do next? Should we take it with us?" Ying Huanhuan stepped forward.
"Take him away? No."
Xiao Ming shook his head. To gain the Ancestral Symbols's approval, one needed more than just strength; one also needed a heart to protect the world. He wasn't sure he could gain the Ancestral Symbols's approval, so why bother taking it away? However, it didn't matter. He didn't need the Ancestral Symbols's approval; controlling it directly was the Kingly Way!
Thinking this, Xiao Ming flipped his hand, and a point of spiritual light appeared in his palm. As soon as the spiritual light appeared, it emitted a terrifying fluctuation, and countless extremely fine cracks appeared in the space.
With a thought, "Spirit" flashed towards the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.
"Hiss!"
As if sensing the approach of the "spirit," the originally quiet Devouring Ancestral Symbol slowly began to rotate, and its shape rapidly expanded. In the blink of an eye, the Devouring Ancestral Symbol transformed into a black hole!
This black hole isn't particularly large, but it possesses an indescribable terror. Even light, when it enters, dissipates into nothingness, directly swallowing everything. This thing is like an anomaly of heaven and earth, devouring everything in its path.
"Waaaah!"
Although the devouring power emanating from the black hole was not particularly strong, the Origin Energy within a radius of dozens of miles immediately became turbulent. Countless energies surged wildly in, and the people exploring the ruins thought that some treasure had been discovered. Their eyes lit up with ecstasy as they frantically flew towards the center.
However, the spirit seemed completely unaffected, its body suddenly expanding and swallowing it whole.
"Buzz!"
After swallowing the Ancestral Symbols, runes flashed within the "spirit's" body from time to time, and astonishing energy fluctuations radiated to the surroundings. Cracks began to appear on the black altar made of an unknown material, and the huge black pillar at the center of the rune array collapsed directly, producing ripples that grew increasingly intense. Eventually, it even formed a black vortex as it writhed.
Ignoring the vortex that appeared, Xiao Ming opened his mouth, and the "spirit" emanating terrifying energy transformed into a beam of light that went straight into his mouth.
"Boom!"
A powerful devouring force suddenly erupted from its body, and under the ripples of this force, countless huge black holes suddenly appeared. Under the devouring of those black holes, the altar shattered, the heavens and earth collapsed, and it was terrifying.
However, no fluctuation could affect Xiao Ming within a ten-meter radius. A few breaths later, Xiao Ming opened his eyes under the worried gazes of Ying Huanhuan and Qing Tan.
"Teacher, how are you?"
"I'm fine."
Xiao Ming smiled slightly, and as they spoke, an ancient rune slowly emerged. On that rune, there was a faint, morphological figure that looked somewhat similar to Xiao Ming.
That's Talisman Spirit; it only takes on the form of its master after successfully Devouring Ancestral Symbol and recognizing its master.
