The old man was shocked. He then saw Wei Huo, who was holding a black sword, rushing over from afar.
He frowned. “Land man? Late-stage Legendary creature?”
Wei Huo had crushed an entire page of the Death Book and gathered all the black aura to turn it into a huge black sword. He’d then grabbed the huge sword and charged toward the old man. An endless amount of Earth Core energy rushed up from the bottom. However, as the giant snake rushed toward the exit, it blocked a lot of energy. That was why Wei Huo could kill his way in.
The old man shouted, “Land man, don’t get in my way! We come from the same source and have the same ancestors. Killing this snake is a priority now.”
Wei Huo said coldly, “I created this gluttonous snake. No way in hell are you killing it!”
After saying that, Wei Huo charged toward the old man with the black sword in hand. The old man lifted the crystal ball and a shield appeared around him. The power of the black sword’s stab was completely absorbed by the shield and it rebounded as a result.
The aura of death bounced back and hit Wei Huo with the black sword. Wei Huo was sent flying thousands of meters away.
“It’s useless!” The old man shook his head. “The divine weapon in your hand is only a level-one divine weapon, while the divine weapon in my hand is a level-three divine weapon. Besides, your strength is only at the late stage of the Legendary stage. You’re not my match.”
Wei Huo lifted his head and said calmly, “Unfortunately, the divine weapon in your hand is defensive equipment.”
After saying that, Wei Huo charged forward again. The giant snake ignored the two of them and accelerated toward the energy outlet. Its gigantic body circled it. Its body was so long that it could circle the Earth. If it coiled up, it could definitely block the outlet.
The old man sighed and said, “Child, you’re only 2,000 years old, right? If you can reach the late stage of the Legendary stage in such a short time, your talent in the Skyfall Race will be ranked in the top two. Don’t make a mistake. Kill this snake and use its body as a ship. Only then can we cross the starry sky and return to our hometown. This planet is just a small island in the ocean. There’s no need to be too concerned.”
The protective shield bounced off Wei Huo again. This time, it rebounded 300% of the force and sent Wei Huo flying tens of thousands of meters away. Wei Huo was also injured. The aura of death and nirvanic extermination invaded his body and caused him to vomit blood.
That was something Wei Huo had never experienced before. It was unbelievable that he had been injured by his Nirvana Aura. Was a level-three divine artifact really that powerful?
Wei Huo said, “We land dwellers have treated Earth as our home for a long time!”
The old man shook his head and chuckled. He did not stop the giant snake or attack Wei Huo. Instead, he said mockingly, “Is that really the case? If the giant snake had not caused earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, and other natural disasters over the past thousands of years, humans would have occupied the entire Earth long ago. Then, they would have expanded their surroundings by using this planet as a springboard. In the end, they would have used up all the resources on this planet! It’s possible to not understand others, but how could humans not understand themselves?”
Wei Huo was tens of thousands of meters away from the old man. He kept approaching him in an attempt to shorten the distance between the two of them. Meanwhile, the old man was still talking calmly. “You’re too young. Because the continents lost their heritage, you don’t know that in ancient times, humans were one of the four most terrifying races in the universe. We used to be extremely powerful. We dominated the world and swept everything away. Mythical creatures were just our food. This so-called planet was just a mine. It was not difficult to use a star as raw material to manufacture weapons. Child, help me kill this giant snake. We can revive the Skyfall Race and rise again to recreate the great human race.”
Unexpectedly, the gluttonous snake suddenly sent out a thought. “Saying all this is useless. This person is not a member of the Skyfall Race. He comes from Kunlun Mountain. His ancestors were Fuxi and Nüwa. He was born on Earth and comes from the same source as me!”
Wei Huo charged forward and slashed with his sword. This time, the old man did not use the protective shield to resist. Instead, he dodged it. He observed Wei Huo’s appearance closely. His gaze was deep, and he could even see through Wei Huo’s soul.
“This person…” The old man pondered it for a moment before he said, “He has half the bloodline of the Skyfall Race. He can be considered half a member of my race.”
Wei Huo said, “It’s meaningless to split hairs now. Both land dwellers and underwater dwellers have lived on Earth for a long time. They eat the food planted on Earth and breathe the air on Earth to grow. They’re already Earthlings. You old fogeys are too old-fashioned!”
The old man shouted angrily, “Shut up, kid! Your horizons are too narrow. You don’t know how big the universe is. You won’t regret cutting down a tree, but you will regret destroying a planet. That’s because your knowledge is shallow. When you see a wider world, you will understand that a planet is just like a tree. It’s not a big deal!”
Wei Huo shook his head. “That’s different. If this planet is destroyed, I will die. Countless people on Earth will die, but nothing will happen to us if we cut down a tree. I can still see this problem clearly!”
The old man said, “What are you afraid of? Given your strength, as long as I give the word, I wouldn’t have a problem giving you a few ships, let alone having you board the ship with us. You can take your friends and family and leave with us!”
Wei Huo said, “Unfortunately, I never place my hopes on others!”
After saying that, Wei Huo charged forward again. He was trying to buy time for the gluttonous snake. He had to block the exit. Would the Atlanteans leave with the land people? Wei Huo did not believe so.
The giant snake sent out its thoughts. “How laughable. They inherited the godhood of my race as well as the beastly nature of your race. In the end, they achieved balance. Emotion and reason are intertwined in their brains, thus making them new humans. No, new Earthlings.”
The old man sneered, “That’s right. I admire you for not trusting any other race. Now that I learned that you still have half an Earthling bloodline, there’s no way I’m taking you with me. The bloodline of the race must remain pure. You will die with this planet.”
After saying that, the old man lifted the crystal ball as if he was about to make a powerful move.
At that moment, the giant snake emitted a Rule Wave. The Rule Wave enveloped Wei Huo and allowed him to temporarily obtain Rule Power.
The giant snake said, “I’m very familiar with your eyes. They remind me of a living creature. I’ll give you the Devouring Rule. Try to control it and use it to defeat the enemy!”
The Rules of the giant snake made Wei Huo a Rule-ranked expert temporarily. He could emit Rule Waves with every move he made, which made the old man very afraid.
In the end, Wei Huo fused the Devouring Rule with his black sword and said, “I have my own path to walk. These Rules are just my props!”
After he said that, the black sword in his hand unleashed an endless stream of Devouring Rule that swallowed everything.
The old man let out a sigh of relief and sneered, “You don’t know what’s good for you. The Devouring Rule can be regenerated through devouring. That way, you can become a fake Mythical creature. However, you have returned to the late stage of the Legendary stage. How can you be my match?”
Wei Huo slashed at him with his sword. The old man used his protective shield to block the attack, but cracks appeared on his protective shield. An endless shattering sound was heard.
