The Giant Devil Race's Ancestor Hates Luo Chuan to the Bone

A fifth-level cultivation nation, the Giant Devil Race.

As the only ancestor in the Yingbian Realm, the Giant Devil Race patriarch appeared instantly within his secluded cultivation hall and violently spat out a mouthful of crimson blood.

Clutching his chest, the Giant Devil Race patriarch's eyes turned red as he hissed, "Damn it, I actually had to expend a massive amount of immortal power this time. The immortal power within my body won't be able to sustain my future cultivation at all."

"Luo Chuan, you brat, I swear that one day I will pull out your tendons, peel your bones, suppress your soul in an oil lamp, and burn it for ten thousand years!"

Just then, a Spirit Transformation elder of the Giant Devil Race walked in. Seeing the patriarch vomiting blood, he rushed over with a face full of concern.

"Ancestor, what has happened to you?"

The Giant Devil Race patriarch looked at the elder before him, his right hand instantly piercing through the man's chest. He snarled, "My bloodline has been damaged; today, I shall borrow your bloodline for my use!"

The elder's eyes widened like copper bells as he stared at the patriarch in disbelief, never having imagined that one day he would die a miserable death at the hands of his own ancestor.

Without a moment's hesitation, the Giant Devil Race patriarch drained all the energy from the elder's body and fused it into his own. Only then did he feel a slight relief, stabilizing his cultivation so that his realm would not fall.

"To think that this old man, a dignified early-stage Yingbian Realm cultivator, would be reduced to such a pathetic state before a mere Spirit Transformation brat—what a humiliating disgrace!"

The patriarch of the Giant Devil Race clenched his fists in fury, shattering the corpse of his clansman before him into dust. Gritting his teeth, he snarled, "That brat Luo Chuan! Once I have completely stabilized my early-stage Yingbian Realm, I will personally grind your bones to ash and scatter them to the winds!"

"Your physical body, I am determined to have it!"

The next morning, the golden rooster heralded the dawn.

In the tranquil bamboo forest at the back of the Hengyue Sect, Luo Chuan sat on a chair, watching True Person Huanglong before him, calmly swirling the teacup in his hand.

"Huanglong, how many years have you been with the Hengyue Sect?"

"Reporting to the Ancestor, this disciple has been with the Hengyue Sect for a hundred years." True Person Huanglong bowed respectfully toward Luo Chuan, showing none of the airs of a Heaven-Human powerhouse.

Luo Chuan shrugged, nodding with a faint smile, "To be able to sit in the position of Hengyue Sect Master in just a hundred years, you can be considered gifted."

"Currently, your cultivation is only at the early Foundation Establishment stage. You have yet to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, so you cannot become a sect ancestor."

True Person Huanglong gave a bitter smile, rubbed his nose, and replied, "This disciple's aptitude is dull. Whether I can break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in this lifetime is still uncertain. I haven't even made a breakthrough to the mid-stage Foundation Establishment in nearly ten years."

The current True Person Huanglong did not wish to be too high-profile; cultivation level was merely a method he used to deceive others.

If not for the matter of the Immortal Remnant Clan, True Person Huanglong would likely have left this barren Vermilion Bird Planet long ago.

Luo Chuan stood up slowly, one hand behind his back, gazing at the blue, sea-like sky. "No matter, one day you will succeed in breaking through."

"In a while, This Seat needs to head to the Outer Realm Battlefield passage in the Huofen Kingdom to meet Liu Mei and A-Dai. I will leave the sect's affairs to you and Liu Wenju."

Hearing this, True Person Huanglong looked up, his face full of confusion as he asked, "Ancestor, has the passage leaving our Zhao Kingdom changed? Why must you go to the Huofen Kingdom's entrance?"

"Yesterday, the Heaven-Reaching Tower envoy Lin Yi sent a message stating that the Zhao Kingdom's passage entrance collapsed due to the entry of a Giant Devil Race Spirit Transformation powerhouse. It is currently being repaired and will take at least three hundred years."

"Furthermore, an incident occurred within the Outer Realm Battlefield, making it impossible for cultivators there to continue clearing it. They must leave via the nearest passage; otherwise, once the passage closes, those who haven't exited will be trapped there forever."

Upon hearing this, True Person Huanglong nodded slightly. If that were the case, then there was indeed no issue with the Ancestor heading to the Huofen Kingdom.

Luo Chuan glanced sideways at True Person Huanglong and said calmly, "This Seat has already left a protective sect formation around the Hengyue Sect. Even a Spirit Transformation powerhouse would be unable to shatter it; it is enough to ensure the safety of the sect disciples."

"This disciple understands."

True Person Huanglong immediately bowed to Luo Chuan, lowering his head deeply.

Luo Chuan came to True Person Huanglong's side, patted his shoulder, and then vanished into thin air like a ghost.

Watching Luo Chuan depart from the Hengyue Sect, True Person Huanglong set aside his previous reverence. Standing with his hands behind his back, his entire demeanor suddenly shifted, exuding an unprecedented sense of pressure.

True Person Huanglong spoke calmly, "A thirty-year-old Spirit Transformation powerhouse—not even my Vermilion Bird Holy Sect has seen such a thing. If he can become the Vermilion Bird Child of Vermilion Bird Planet, This Seat will recommend him to the Cultivation Alliance."

"As for whether he can survive, that depends on whether he has the ability."

True Person Huanglong turned around with a flourish, glanced at the Hengyue Sect, and flew straight toward the direction of the Immortal Remnant Clan.

The Huofen Kingdom was a great distance from the Zhao Kingdom; even for a Spirit Transformation cultivator, crossing between the two nations required a significant amount of time.

Fortunately, there were teleportation arrays near every nation. One only needed to spend spirit stones to travel to any desired location.

At this moment, Luo Chuan had arrived at the location of a teleportation array. Seeing the array surrounded by cultivators, he couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled as he sat atop the Blood Qilin.

"Has something gone wrong with the teleportation array?"

Luo Chuan put away his mount, the Blood Qilin, landed steadily on the ground, and walked straight toward the teleportation array.

Before he even arrived, he heard noisy shouting coming from the direction of the array.

"Fifteen high-grade spirit stones? Why don't you just go rob someone!"

"That's right! This teleportation array is a dedicated passage for cultivators. For you to claim it as your own is simply too much!"

A middle-aged man in the crowd kicked a Foundation Establishment cultivator to death and barked, "Shut your mouths, all of you! Mere Foundation Establishment brats, how dare you act so insolently before me."

"These fifteen high-grade spirit stones are merely the starting price. If you want to use it tomorrow, it will be eighteen high-grade spirit stones!"

Hearing this, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the field looked at each other in dismay, unable to believe that these people were openly using the teleportation array to extort spirit stones from passing cultivators.

These individuals were all Golden Core cultivators, and the middle-aged man leading them was at the Great Perfection of the late Golden Core stage, only half a step away from breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Luo Chuan pushed through the crowd and walked over, then glanced at the corpses lying on the ground that had been dead for some time—among them were some mortals who had no power to truss a chicken.

"Wantonly slaughtering defenseless mortals, are you not afraid of the Cultivation Alliance holding you accountable?"

The leading middle-aged man turned around, looked at Luo Chuan, frowned slightly, and said with displeasure, "Where did this brat come from? How dare you act insolently before me!"
