judging from the fact that there was no reaction from the Universal Mark after entering the unknown ancestor's corpse, it was most likely not the Universal Ancestor. However, Lin Xiao still decided to go in and see what changes would occur after the death of this unknown ancestor, what was inside the core of the ancestor's corpse, and whether any essence would be left behind after the ancestor's death.
The passage was filled with a constant flow of death energy and ancestral power at higher concentrations than outside. Walking in it, he felt his skin was tingling as if there were many ants crawling on it. This feeling became more and more obvious as he went deeper.
The corpse of the ancestor is as huge as a planet, with interconnected holes everywhere. These are not holes caused by corrosion after death, but the skeletal structure of the ancestor is like this.
The ancestor was so powerful, and his corpse was also unimaginably strong. He had not seen any corrosion anywhere along the way, and the texture was extremely hard. He used all his strength to strike without even leaving a mark.
An unknown amount of time had passed, and Lin Xiao didn't remember which passage he had passed through. He once again passed through a bone cave and entered a huge space. At first sight, he was attracted by a huge sphere suspended in the center of the hole and slowly floating.
When he saw the sphere, the sphere also discovered him. An extremely cold will filled with hatred and greed overwhelmed him. The sphere quickly extended extremely thick tentacles. The top of the sphere opened to reveal eyeballs of different sizes, and sprayed out hundreds of light beams of different colors at him.
Its appearance and attack method are very similar to the famous evil eye, but its strength is in a different world. When the beam hits the body, it feels like being pierced by needles, causing severe pain. A small piece of golden skin at the hit site completely turns black and rots into ash, leaving behind a large small pit.
Lin Xiao did not dodge or evade, but rushed forward with gritted teeth.
A second wave of light rain came over in a short time, but it passed over him and hit the void behind him. He used the same trick again to cut off the time.
Several waves of light rain were ineffective. The hundreds of tentacles of this evil-eye-like monster changed rapidly and transformed into various weapons that stabbed at him. Lin Xiao only had time to gather his strength to withstand it.
"Bang, bang, bang"
Dozens of explosions were heard, and he was stabbed and knocked away by fifty or sixty tentacles at the same time.
The time interruption has not yet taken effect, but these attacks are not just simple physical attacks, they also contain an inexplicable force, some of which can penetrate the time fault and knock him away.
In mid-air, before he landed on the ground, all the tentacles of the monster transformed into evil eyes and shot out arrows of light that hit him from mid-air.
The strange power contained in it was limited in its ability to penetrate the time fault, forcing him to retreat continuously.
The energy of this thing seemed endless, and the impact force was very strong. It fired once per second, blasting him back continuously. He soon retreated to the edge of the stone wall, where he was pressed against the wall and whipped. Soon there was almost no trace of gold on his chest, and the thick layer of golden flesh and blood on the front of his chest was corroded and peeled off.
"This is outrageous!"
Fortunately, the power of time can block some of the damage, otherwise after countless direct attacks, half of his body would be corroded. This thing is probably even more powerful than the giant dead tree he saw before.
And this is not the core of the ancestor's corpse that has derived such a terrifying thing. Who knows what kind of monster will be inside.
Lin Xiao had already given up in his heart, but if he wanted to leave, he had to kill this thing first, otherwise he couldn't leave.
Not daring to hide any tricks anymore, Lin Xiao once again used his ultimate move - the black hole.
A terrifying attraction came from him, and the surrounding space collapsed again into a black hole. Light beams from the sky shot into the black hole like a drop in the ocean, disappearing without a trace.
There is no way. This thing is too scary. Looking at all the means, only the power of time and the black hole can do anything to the opponent. Other means are useful against those weaker than oneself, but they are useless against this monster derived from the corpse of the ancestor.
In fact, even if it turned into a black hole, it couldn't do anything to this guy for a while. It directly stretched out its tentacles and pierced into the void to firmly fix itself. This was the inside of the body of an ancestor, and the stability of the space was incomparable. Now the space near the black hole seemed to be collapsed, but it was actually just an illusion caused by gravity, and the space was still fine.
And as he opened the black hole, the breath of death and the power of the ancestor filled in this huge space rushed towards him like a tide and were sucked into the black hole.
Lin Xiao had to concentrate on transforming the aura of death completely, and try his best not to let the aura of death directly absorb into his body and transform into his own strength.
The black hole couldn't suck the monster in, and the situation became tense for a while.
Lin Xiao devoured for almost a day, and at a certain moment the black hole suddenly shrank and rushed towards the nearest cave entrance.
However, the monster reacted extremely quickly. Hundreds of its tentacles were retracted and swung straight up. Hundreds of straight light beams were sprayed out and accurately smashed Lin Xiao, who had run less than ten meters away, against the wall. It was another continuous beating.
"Fuck!"
As a last resort, he could only open the black hole again to resist the bombardment, and the situation became deadlocked again.
Almost a week later, Lin Xiao tried to escape again, but this guy reacted very quickly and intercepted him immediately, so he couldn't run away at all.
Moreover, he discovered through secret observation that this thing had probably stayed here for countless tens of thousands of years. It was derived from the essence of the dead ancestor, and its range seemed to be confined to this huge hole and unable to leave. It had an abnormal hatred for life, and when it saw him, a living person, it was afraid that it would guard him until the end of time.
Lin Xiao knew that he might not be able to escape at this stage. The only way to escape was to increase his strength.
Next, he did not think about escaping. He transformed himself into a black hole and began to unlimitedly devour the ubiquitous death aura and power of the ancestor in the corpse of the ancestor and then transformed it into his own power.
At the same time, his soul communicated with Tishaer internally, asking her to relax the authority of the Dream Ancestor Mark. More powerful power than before continuously flowed into his body from the Dream Ancestor Mark, constantly enhancing his strength.
Half a month. No response.
Three months. No movement.
One year. Quietly.
Five years later, Lin Xiao suddenly woke up, turned his head in surprise, and looked at the straight bone wall behind him in shock to see a semicircular dent appearing at some point.
In his eyes, under the terrifying attraction of the black hole he transformed into, the bones of the ancestor, which had never seen a trace of damage since entering, were swallowed up by him to a very small extent. The tiny bones were sucked away from the bone wall by the terrifying attraction and sank into his body.
"this"
Lin Xiao was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.
It looks like only a tiny bit of bone was sucked away, and it took six or seven years to suck away this little bit, but it means that the remains of this ancestor are not unshakable.
Almost instantly, a crazy idea came to Lin Xiao's mind. Should he do something big and swallow this planet-sized ancestor's skeleton?
Although only the skeleton was left, he could feel the super strong ancestor's essence contained in the bone when he swallowed it just now. Not only could it enhance his strength, but the key point was that the ancestor's essence contained in it could enhance his life essence.
This is not just bone. After being swallowed up into the black hole, the essence of each bone grain is revealed. They are runes containing the essence of the ancestor.
To put it bluntly, the corpse of the ancestor is not just a corpse. It is essentially constructed from countless ancestor runes. This is why it is so strong that it can withstand the ancestor's extremely powerful power. It is almost indestructible below the peak of the eighth level.
Lin Xiao had never had this idea before, because no matter how hard he tried, he could not leave any mark on the bone. But now that he suddenly found that he could devour the bones of the ancestor, he could not hold back.
Once his thoughts started, they were out of control. However, amidst these thoughts that he could neither suppress nor was willing to suppress, his little remaining rationality also caused a trace of hesitation.
If he did this, when it reached a certain point, it would definitely cause a reaction from the terrifying existence deep within the ancestor's corpse. He was not sure if he could withstand it in his black hole state.
If the terrifying existence derived from the deep core of the corpse could forcibly break his black hole state and pull him out, he would be doomed.
However, this kind of rationality is too weak, and it is soon drowned in the delusion of the benefits that can be obtained once success, and it is out of control.
"Done!"
With a thought, the devouring power that had been under control suddenly changed and turned into an indiscriminate crazy devouring of the surroundings.
Even more turbulent energy gathered towards him and sank into the black hole, being shattered into pure energy absorption. Several times more bone particles than before were forcibly sucked away and sank into the black hole. Under the terrifying tearing force of the black hole, they returned to their origin and turned into ancestral runes, which merged into his body and strengthened his physical body.
This ancestor was completely dead, without any will. If he was not completely dead and absorbed the energy in this way, there would be only one result, that is, the ancestor's will would forcibly take over his body and reborn.
The tentacle monster hovering in the void was completely helpless against Lin Xiao, who had transformed into a black hole. It could only fix itself firmly in the void to resist the terrifying attraction that was right in front of it.
But as Lin Xiao became more and more powerful, this resistance gradually slid into the black hole, slowly sliding in, until a certain moment a tentacle fixed in the void was broken, and a chain reaction occurred like a domino, with tentacles breaking one after another, and the huge spherical monster lost control and slid into the black hole.
Before it was immediately submerged, a powerful death force erupted from its body and it struggled hard on the edge of the black hole for several days. In the end, it could not hold on and was swallowed up.
The gravity of the black hole paused slightly, then recovered again, and this terrifying monster, which was more powerful than the average late eighth-order monster, disappeared.
Without this monster, the black hole continued to devour the vast death energy and power of the ancestor in the bones of the ancestor, and continuously devoured the ancestor runes and integrated them into the body. As time passed, the aura emitted by Lin Xiao's true body inside the black hole became stronger and stronger, gradually emitting an aura that was exactly the same as the bones of the ancestor.
It was unknown how long it had been, but a long snake-like monster with bony wings on its back and countless tentacles flew from a distance and dived into the black hole. A huge gap was blown in the accretion disk formed by the massive amount of energy gathered around it.
