The Dragon Lizard Star, amidst the earth-shattering movements of the Old Ancestor of the Dragon Lizards, transformed from a celestial body into a continent, a rugged expanse forged from shattered stars and meteorites, these fragments scattered everywhere like the tiles and paving stones composing a grand plaza. Viewed from the heavens, one would see this continent riddled with depressions, deep chasms, bizarre peaks, numerous palaces, and various caves.

At this moment, at the heart of the Dragon Lizard Star, a stone hall with a torn dome stood, from which a pillar of primordial fire shot toward the sky. Duller, Tifeng, and other Dragon Lizard clansmen at the second heaven of the Immortal realm gathered near the stone hall, standing guard with focused alertness, keeping a watchful eye on the movements of the foreign race members nearby.

The veiled woman of the Phantom Clan, with her alluring figure, and Yuan Mo's contingent from the Water Clan also congregated near the stone hall, staring at the hall with expressions of astonishment. In the mid-air, many members of the foreign races drifted closer, their faces etched with curiosity and radiating excitement.

They all knew that this was when the Old Ancestor of the Dragon Lizards was about to commence the Ancestral Sacrifice, preparing for a grand ceremony. Long, long ago, before the Primordial Being, "Xi," had perished, the Dragon Lizard Clan would regularly host such grand gatherings.

In that era, the Dragon Lizard Clan was undeniably the leader among the surrounding races, and those foreign clansmen would arrive punctually to pay respects to "Xi," demonstrating their humility and reverence. The grand gatherings hosted by "Xi" invited the leaders of all races and the elites of the neighboring clans.

During these ceremonies, he would expound upon the profound truths of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, revealing the ancient secrets of the Primordial Beings. This spectacle not only attracted clansmen from the vicinity but even drew members from the Seven Great Races to attend as auditors.

However, after "Xi's" demise, the gatherings never regained their former splendor. Although the second generation of Dragon Lizards continued to hold them periodically, most attending foreign clansmen came under the explicit instruction of their ancestors, offering memorial rites to "Xi" out of gratitude, as their progenitors had benefited immensely from "Xi's" discourse on the profundities of the universe.

Even though "Xi" was gone, their gratitude remained, compelling them to send their younger generations to pay homage during the ceremony. The Old Ancestor of the Dragon Lizards was well aware that the allure of the gathering had diminished significantly.

He often brought out precious clan treasures for trade, such as the Immortal Elixir, which held immense drawing power, prompting some foreign clansmen to travel great distances; the woman of the Phantom Clan, for instance, happened to be nearby and came upon hearing of the Dragon Lizard Clan's ceremony, her mind set on the Immortal Elixir. At this moment, Singh came whistling through, scattering the numerous foreign clansmen along his path, until he arrived before the stone hall.

Streaks of phantoms and ferocious ghosts floated beneath him, resembling dense schools of fish. Seven malevolent souls continuously devoured the weaker souls nearby, rapidly growing stronger until they transformed into monstrous specters ten zhang tall, roaring ferociously behind Singh, their aura shaking heaven and earth.

One of these ferocious souls was none other than Ming Hong. After being refined by Singh, he was involuntarily controlled by him and had also transformed into a vengeful spirit, howling in tandem.

Ming Hong roared a few times, then suddenly froze. A flicker of pain and struggle crossed his sinister and malicious eyes, revealing a trace of lucidity.

In the void behind Singh, he caught sight of the stone hall below, spotting Audrey cultivating within. At that instant, soul threads emanated from Audrey's body, carrying a fluctuation deeply familiar to him.

He focused his gaze and immediately recognized Audrey's identity! Because what Audrey was cultivating was the unique Soul Art of their Nether Emperor Clan, and the aura emanating from her was distinctly that of a Nether Emperor Clan member.

Having been refined by Singh in the Void Sea for years, unable to break free, and having never encountered a martial artist from the Desolate Domain, he suddenly discovered a clansman here. Furthermore, she was almost certainly one of his descendants.

Ming Hong was utterly stunned; though controlled by Singh, he retained his own consciousness. He quickly considered his options, then feigned ignorance, daring not to look at Audrey even once, terrified that Singh might perceive his unease.

Meanwhile, Singh shouted, finally drawing out the Old Ancestor of the Dragon Lizards. The Old Ancestor laughed heartily and abruptly ascended above the stone hall, looking down at Singh, saying, "A good friend, ah, a good friend!" "I don't understand why you are shielding these three juniors from the Celestial Eye Clan?

They attacked and killed my people. Given our friendship, shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Singh questioned the Old Ancestor with a sinister expression, right in front of the assembled foreign clansmen.

Singh sensed something was amiss; the Old Ancestor's current demeanor was peculiar, unsettling him. "This is the territory of my Dragon Lizard Clan.

Members of the Earth Ghost Clan disregarded our clan rules and attempted murder on guests I invited. If they suffer a loss in the process, am I responsible?" The Old Ancestor sneered, reaching out a hand, sending layers of light waves cascading down to envelop the stone hall where Shi Yan and Audrey were cultivating.

He glared at Singh and huffed, "Singh, your dogs are getting too presumptuous! They don't even show respect for me, your friend.

Shouldn't you, their master, discipline them properly?" Singh's face darkened, and he fell silent abruptly. "Huh, what's going on?" The veiled woman of the Phantom Clan frowned, turning to Yuan Mo beside her.

"I thought Singh and the Old Ancestor of the Dragon Lizards always had a good relationship? What is happening now?" Yuan Mo of the Water Clan was equally perplexed and astonished.

"I'm not entirely sure. As far as I know, their relationship was indeed excellent previously.

Singh visited the Old Ancestor of the Dragon Lizards on the Dragon Lizard Star several times, and the Dragon Lizard Clan always treated him warmly. This situation today is certainly quite unexpected." "What transpired?

Has a conflict arisen between Singh and the Old Ancestor of the Dragon Lizards?" inquired a clansman from a foreign race. "Perhaps it's because of the Earth Ghost Clan?

Over the years, the Earth Ghost Clan's actions have become increasingly audacious, completely disregarding the Dragon Lizard Clan's authority. To dare cause trouble during the Dragon Lizard Clan's grand ceremony—that might have thoroughly enraged the Old Ancestor of the Dragon Lizards.

That must be it?" "Yes, possibly." "Alas, it's a pity Xi perished. Otherwise, a mere Earth Ghost Clan would have been swept away long ago.

I recall that when Xi was still alive, even the Seven Great Races showed deference to the Dragon Lizard Clan. It seems that lacking a Domain Ancestor to anchor them truly leads to a race's decline, as the saying goes." "It’s no wonder the Dragon Lizards are trying every means necessary to break through to the Domain Ancestor realm, willing to pay any price for this goal, even trading Immortal Elixirs just to secure any possibility of advancement." The surrounding foreign clansmen whispered amongst themselves in shock and confusion while Singh remained silent.

Singh’s face was grim, his gaze sharp and menacing as it swept over the crowd. Every foreign clansman who met his eyes felt a chill and quickly lowered their heads.

When his gaze fell upon the veiled woman of the Phantom Clan, he paused slightly, inclined his head in acknowledgment, and then withdrew his eyes. "This matter is indeed the fault of the Earth Ghost Clan.

I ask for your indulgence, old friend. Well, after this is settled, I will warn the Old Ancestor of the Earth Ghosts to properly restrain his subordinates.

I came here sincerely to observe your grand ceremony, and I hope, Brother Dragon Lizard, you understand my intentions." Singh took a deep breath, forcing a smile onto his face. He turned his head, his eyes turning cold.

A ferocious, evil ghost suddenly lunged at the remaining few members of the Earth Ghost Clan. Amidst their piercing screams, their limbs were torn apart, their bodies ripped to shreds by the vicious spirit, and finally, even their souls were devoured.

The few Earth Ghost Clan members were instantly annihilated, slain by one of his fierce spirits. The onlookers felt a creeping chill, their bodies shuddering in fear of Singh's ruthless methods.

"It was my fault for not investigating clearly, for being misled by their slander. Well, I now offer you, Brother Dragon Lizard, an explanation.

Are you satisfied?" Singh asked with a faint smile, calmly recalling the fierce spirit, not sparing a glance for the Earth Ghost Clan members now reduced to pieces of mangled flesh. "What ruthless means!" Yuan Mo muttered softly from a distance.

The veiled woman of the Phantom Clan also started slightly. "Singh truly lives up to his reputation; his methods are indeed formidable.

To gain the recognition of the Dragon Lizard Clan, he can kill without hesitation. Yes, he is quite a character, no wonder he holds the position of Commander of the Soul Clan.

Impressive!" With that, she looked towards the Old Ancestor of the Dragon Lizards, and the other spectators followed suit, eager to see what the Old Ancestor's reaction would be now that Singh had willingly submitted. Many, however, kept their attention fixed on the stone hall, scrutinizing the activity within, determined to discover what exactly was transpiring inside.

Primordial Beings are few and far between in the vast Sea of Stars. Since the demise of "Xi," no other Primordial Beings had appeared nearby.

The sudden pillar of primordial fire erupting from the stone hall clearly carried the aura of a Primordial Being, sparking secret wonder among them, leading them to instinctively connect it with "Xi." After the Old Ancestor of the Dragon Lizards acted to completely envelop the stone hall, they all began to speculate, guessing it must be connected to the Dragon Lizard Clan, their curiosity mounting. While Singh outwardly apologized to the Old Ancestor of the Dragon Lizards, his eyes flickered, and he too stared at the stone hall, his mind filled with confusion.

"Since you put it that way, let this matter rest. There is no need to inform the Old Ancestor of the Earth Ghosts; if he dares to cause trouble again next time, I will speak with him personally!" The Old Ancestor of the Dragon Lizards chuckled heartily, nodding his assent.

"Yes, the junior below has some connection to my ancestors, and she will be cultivating here for some time. Everyone need not be suspicious." He gestured toward the stone hall below.

This revelation only served to increase the astonishment and confusion of the crowd. Their expressions grew solemn as they looked at the stone hall—connected to "Xi"?

Could it truly be a Primordial Being? "Ahem, ahem!" Just then, the veiled woman of the Phantom Clan suddenly coughed lightly and stepped out from the Water Clan contingent, approaching the Old Ancestor of the Dragon Lizards.

Her mask remained in place, and her pair of faint, ethereal blue eyes sparkled with a strange light as she smiled winningly, "I have heard that the Old Ancestor of the Dragon Lizards possesses an Immortal Elixir. I came for the Immortal Elixir.

I wonder what the method of trade is?" The Old Ancestor of the Dragon Lizards glanced at her, his expression suddenly turning grave. "May I ask your esteemed identity?" "A member of the Phantom Clan," the woman stated coolly.

Upon hearing this, numerous foreign clansmen gasped, their eyes wide with awe, all gazes converging on the woman. Many of the men felt their blood surging, stirring with quiet excitement.

It was rumored that the women of the Phantom Clan possessed beauty capable of enchanting all living things, masters of mental arts; every glance and smile could ensnare souls, making them the most beautiful dreams in the hearts of men across all races. ……(To be continued)RQ
