Granny Sparrow’s arrival immediately heightened the tension in the atmosphere, especially for the bull-headed Demon Ancestor known as “Old Black Bull”, whose brows furrowed deeply and whose expression turned several shades uglier.
In contrast, the various Demon Kings of Black Wind Mountain all breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
In the words Mo Fan most commonly used these days, the advantage is mine.
Mo Fan was also thrilled. He had not expected Granny Sparrow to appear at this moment, and she had even brought Bai Shuang along.
This meant that slaying a Demon Ancestor was no longer impossible.
Of course, what truly surprised Mo Fan was the sword in Granny Sparrow’s hand.
At first, he had not paid much attention, but soon he noticed something different.
That ancient bronze sword looked extremely familiar to him. Was it not the immortal sword they had fought over in the Dragon Ruins?
It was precisely because he saw that Granny Sparrow now possessed this sword that he shifted from host to guest, handing the initiative here over to her.
Although Mo Fan was confident he could defeat the bull-headed Demon Ancestor, if he could avoid acting personally, he would naturally be happy to do so. At a critical moment, he might even be able to land a sneaky blow on the opponent.
Of course, in Mo Fan’s eyes, this bull-headed Demon Ancestor was a rare cultivation resource.
One that had delivered itself to his door. There was no reason for him not to accept it.
Since breaking through to the King Realm, he had successively refined all the “golden cores” he obtained as spoils from the Dragon Ruins. Later, he went to White Holy Mountain and devoured Black Flame and Black Prison, only then managing to breakthrough to late-stage King Realm by luck.
However, more than a whole year had passed, and he had made no significant progress in his cultivation, mainly because he lacked high-quality “cultivation resources” to support his practice.
What infuriated him most was that there was a shameless fellow in his mind competing with him for opportunities, causing him to miss out on truly receiving the baptism of the fortune purple qi.
Although Mo Fan felt resentful about this, he was helpless.
Who told that money coin to be the big boss?
His achievements today were largely thanks to it. Besides, he also wanted to see what kind of power the money coin would display once fully revived. Mo Fan was very much looking forward to that.
At the same time, he discovered that the higher his cultivation, the more vast the demonic qi he required. Devouring ordinary Demon Kings could hardly satisfy his cultivation needs anymore, which naturally left Mo Fan feeling helpless.
As his cultivation improved, he naturally saw further ahead and understood that every Demon Ancestor was the pinnacle of their respective demon domains. This often made him sigh.
Not to mention that Demon Ancestors were not easy to devour. Even if he had the means to devour one, he could not go around seeking them out to consume, could he?
If he really did that, his Black Wind Mountain would probably soon be erased from the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Therefore, he was quite excited about the bull-headed Demon Ancestor’s voluntary delivery.
It was rare to have such a considerate Demon Ancestor rushing to offer resources.
Thus came his performance of playing the victim.
As the saying goes, the child who cries gets the milk. Mo Fan was well versed in this principle.
Sure enough, as soon as he spoke those words, Granny Sparrow flew into a great rage.
“You daring big black bull. Not only did you disregard the rules of my Fengming Mountain demon domain and invade quietly, but you also insulted the Fire Phoenix Holy King and sought to destroy a demon mountain of my domain.
Such crimes are too numerous to record.
Today, prepare to leave your bull head here.”
Granny Sparrow’s words immediately enraged the bull-headed Demon Ancestor as well. He said gravely, “Old Peacock, this ancestor only came on orders to investigate the situation. Do not let that little bastard use you as a spear.
If it really comes to a fight, this ancestor does not fear you.”
“Little bastard?”
Granny Sparrow’s expression darkened upon hearing this. She laughed in extreme anger. “Good. Very good.”
“It seems you, this old black bull, intend to walk this path to the end.
In that case, this old woman will say no more to you.”
Having spoken, Granny Sparrow’s body became shrouded in demonic qi. The immortal sword in her hand immediately burst with golden light.
“The Holy King has decreed that any Ancestral Realm cultivator who crosses the boundary shall die.”
As Granny Sparrow’s words fell, the golden light on the immortal sword instantly became blazing, as if golden flames were burning, causing the entire night to become bright in an instant.
The sword had not yet slashed out, but already heavenly phenomena appeared. Golden flames spread, dyeing the surrounding sea of clouds gold and making it extraordinarily beautiful.
However, all the Demon Kings present felt their hearts tremble with fear.
As King Realm great demons, they could naturally sense an incomparably terrifying aura from those vast golden flames.
Within the seemingly splendid colours hid the most dangerous killing intent.
Was this the power of an immortal sword?
Mo Fan gazed intently, seriously observing the horrifying scene before him. For the first time, he felt an aura even more terrifying than a Demon Ancestor’s.
He had last felt this kind of aura from the White Tiger Holy King, making him feel as if he had become as insignificant as an ant.
No… strictly speaking, this was not yet a true immortal sword, merely an ancient treasure, but it was already shocking enough to astonish the world.
“If an ancient treasure already possesses such terrifying aura, how fearsome would a true immortal treasure be?”
Just as Mo Fan’s heart throbbed with emotion, the bull-headed Demon Ancestor above revealed a ferocious expression. He stepped forward, and suddenly a far larger phantom appeared behind him.
That phantom was a black barbarian bull, seemingly as tall as heaven and earth, emanating a primordial aura. As if from the ancient times, the moment it emerged, it caused an intensely oppressive feeling to rise in the hearts of the demons below.
“Old Peacock, this ancestor was not frightened into growth.
Perhaps in terms of offensive power, this ancestor is inferior to you, but in terms of defence, you may not be able to injure me.
Since you want to play for real, this ancestor will play along with you.”
The bull-headed Demon Ancestor grinned ferociously, then said, “This old peacock is for me to handle. You lot go exterminate all the demons on this mountain.”
“Since becoming an ancestor, no demon has ever dared to threaten this ancestor in such a way.
Now that the Fire Phoenix Holy King is not emerging, who can stop me?”
“We obey the old ancestor’s command!!”
Four bull-headed, human-bodied Demon Kings acknowledged the order in unison, then immediately flew down from the Demon Ancestor’s shoulders.
“Four mere King Realm great demons dare to act fiercely?”
Seeing this, Granny Sparrow narrowed her eyes slightly. The immortal sword in her hand immediately slashed out.
In an instant, the golden flames turned into a straight golden line, cleaving the vast sea of clouds in two and bearing straight down on the four Demon Kings.
The four Demon Kings were scared out of their wits upon seeing this and immediately cried out, “Old Ancestor, save us!!”
“Old Peacock, your opponent is this ancestor.”
The bull-headed Demon Ancestor’s voice rang out. The enormous black bull phantom behind him that blotted out half the sky suddenly opened its mouth.
Suck…
In the next moment, heaven and earth twisted. Granny Sparrow and Bai Shuang directly entered a dark realm. Appearing here alongside them was the bull-headed Demon Ancestor.
“Granny, what divine ability is this?”
Bai Shuang calmly surveyed this space, her face showing no trace of fear. Instead, curiosity shone in her eyes.
“This is not a divine ability, but that old black bull’s Ancestral Realm domain.”
Granny Sparrow remained completely calm, then looked up at the bull-headed Demon Ancestor opposite her and asked, “Old Bull, you and this old woman are demons of the same era, so I fully understand how difficult it is for demons like us to reach this stage.
I will ask you one last time. Do you realise your mistake?”
“Hahahaha…!!”
The bull-headed Demon Ancestor burst into loud laughter upon hearing this, then snorted coldly. “Realise my mistake? If this ancestor were still a King Realm great demon, perhaps I would immediately kneel and beg for mercy.
But now my cultivation is equal to yours, so I feel I have done nothing wrong.
If there is any wrong, it is your wrong.
Your mistake was being too long-winded.
Knowing full well that this ancestor was deploying an Ancestral Realm divine ability, you still allowed me to do so unchecked. It is simply foolish.”
“Very well. This old woman understands.”
Granny Sparrow sighed faintly, then slashed out with her sword.
“Old friend, farewell.”
