This was a call from the soul itself. Xu Hei felt as if he was flying on his own rather than being pulled by an external force.

This sudden scene left Tu Sen somewhat stunned.

"What?"

Tu Sen's voice was filled with surprise. In an instant, a powerful force erupted from Tu Sen's tomb, sweeping out in an attempt to intercept Xu Hei. However, Xu Hei's speed did not decrease at all as he flew over the black underworld soil, heading toward the deepest part of the Dragon Tomb.

Tu Sen's pulling force was completely ineffective.

"It's you?" Tu Sen exclaimed in disbelief, "How are you not dead yet?!"

Xu Hei's consciousness soared rapidly, getting further and further away. Before long, Xu Hei could no longer hear Tu Sen's voice. He crossed the underworld soil, traversed the Underworld River, and entered a pitch-black mountain.

This mountain was dragon-shaped, coiled deep within the Dragon Tomb, winding and twisting. From a distance, it resembled a massive dragon vein.

And the tombstone was at the peak of this dragon vein's center.

"Great Void... Ancestral Dragon..."

Xu Hei stared at the text on the tombstone, his consciousness coming to a halt.

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, Xu Hei's mind was filled with a violent roar and tremor. A powerful will crossed the distant starry river, flying from the Dragon Tomb, traversing the void, and descending into Xu Hei's Demon God Cauldron.

On the surface of the Demon God Cauldron, the long-dormant true dragon statue stirred slightly.

At the same time.

In the direction of the Spirit Realm, a pair of celestial eyes once again gazed over. This power was unimaginably terrifying; a single glance could crush a Divine Transformation cultivator to death!

"It's over!"

All the cultivators of the Divine Puppet Sect fell into despair.

The black-and-white furred bear trembled, and countless cracks appeared on the gong it held.

"Why would a dignified celestial being target our mortal world? Why?" Daoist Sparrow closed his eyes.

This was no longer a war of the mortal world; it far exceeded their level. If the gods wanted you dead, you had no choice but to die!

Just as doomsday was about to arrive.

Suddenly, on the surface of the Demon God Cauldron, the long-dormant true dragon statue slowly opened its eyes.

In that moment, the statue locked eyes with the celestial eyes.

The celestial eyes, which could originally obliterate everything, suddenly froze.

The eyes of the true dragon statue on the Demon God Cauldron swept across the void, and an ancient voice slowly spread: "A dignified Immortal Lord, intervening in the mortal world, you are unworthy of being an Immortal Lord!"

"Poof!!"

As soon as the words fell.

The terrifying celestial eyes were instantly filled with blood, with countless streams of blood seeping from the eyeballs, as if attacked by some unknown force, filled with endless panic and shock.

"Get lost! Dare to appear again, and I'll take your Immortal Lord position!"

The true dragon statue continued.

"Boom!!"

The celestial eyes were covered with countless cracks, like a pair of glass beads about to shatter, faintly emitting a shrill scream. In an instant, they crumbled and vanished into the void, as if they had never appeared.

At this moment, the entire sky fell into a dead silence.

The people of the Divine Puppet Sect did not know what had happened, nor did they hear the words of the true dragon statue. In their eyes, the celestial eyes seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying, and the fear in them was evident, as they disappeared directly.

Such a scene was too shocking, far beyond their understanding. They didn't even dare to make any rash moves, only standing still.

It took a full half an incense stick's time before everyone came back to their senses.

"Wasn't that celestial being going to annihilate us? Why did it disappear?" Daoist Sparrow was incredulous.

"It was like it saw something extremely terrifying and fled in panic."

They dared not say this out loud, only thinking it in their hearts.

Everyone exchanged glances and nodded. Daoist Sparrow looked again at the lightning sphere that had been mostly destroyed, immediately controlling the Thousand Mechanisms Grand Formation to bombard the sphere.

With each strike, the sphere thinned a little more. It was a long war of attrition.

…………

At this moment, at the center of the sphere.

Xu Hei's flesh and blood had been completely sacrificed, and his Elemental Infant was on the verge of collapse, in a semi-blurred state.

He was holding onto a thread of consciousness with sheer willpower; anyone else would have perished long ago.

"Are you... the Great Void Ancestral Dragon?"

Xu Hei's Elemental Infant lifted its head, looking at the true dragon statue on the Demon God Cauldron.

"That's right."

The eyes of the true dragon statue came to life, saying, "Young one, you did not disappoint me. To comprehend the laws of heaven at such a young age, you're not much different from how I was back then."

Xu Hei's heart tightened, and he smiled bitterly, "To see through the Dao of Heaven, yet to encounter such a catastrophe, perhaps being an ordinary person is more suited for survival."

"Heh, an ordinary person? An ordinary person would not be qualified to inherit the Ancestral Dragon Cauldron."

The Great Void Ancestral Dragon chuckled coldly, "Moreover, the Demon God Cauldron is a human term. Back in my day, I called it the Ancestral Dragon Cauldron!"

"Ancestral Dragon Cauldron..."

Xu Hei could easily tell that this was something left by the Great Void Ancestral Dragon.

Perhaps from the beginning, Xu Hei was destined to be the inheritor; it was fate.

"The Ancestral Dragon Cauldron was not created by me but was formed by the Dao of the Primordial Dragon Ancestor, containing the supreme rules of heaven and earth. Obtaining this treasure means gaining great fortune, but at the same time, you have also formed great karma."

"Firstly, the laws of heaven will not tolerate you."

"Some so-called celestial beings will not tolerate you either."

"The calamity you faced during your Divine Transformation is just the beginning."

Hearing the Great Void Ancestral Dragon's words, Xu Hei felt extremely heavy inside and quickly asked, "So every time I break through in the future, will I face attacks from the Dao of Heaven and celestial beings?"

"I will deter those so-called celestial beings, so they won't dare to act, but the laws of heaven, you will have to bear yourself," the Great Void Ancestral Dragon said.

Xu Hei let out a long breath. Although it was only the laws of heaven, it was still enough to give him a hard time.

Xu Hei still had many questions and quickly said, "Senior, I've heard of Canglan Immortal Lord. Is he... also a celestial being?"

Hearing the Great Void Ancestral Dragon refer to those eyes as Immortal Lord, it was very similar to Canglan Immortal Lord.

"That's right! According to your mortal world's terms, he is also a celestial being. However, given his position, he should not harbor malice towards you," the Great Void Ancestral Dragon said.

Xu Hei breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, he wouldn't have to worry about being targeted by Canglan Immortal Lord after ascending to the Spirit Realm.

"Senior, what about the extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons..."

Xu Hei wanted to ask more about Hei Huang, the sea god, and the Void Realm, but he was quickly interrupted.

"The extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons are not products of the laws of heaven; they exist outside the laws. I cannot explain it to you in detail. Knowing too much won't do you any good."

The Great Void Ancestral Dragon said in a deep voice, "You wouldn't want a group of extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons to come every time you break through, would you?"

"..." Xu Hei couldn't help but shiver.

Being struck by lightning was already enough for him; the thought of attracting extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons gave Xu Hei a headache.
