Chapter 276: Destroying the Five Kings, Nine-Star Dou Saint

The Ten Kings Hall glanced at Xiao Tian and sneered, "Who do you think you are, speaking to me like that?"

"Ten Kings Hall, huh? Let's see if I don't make you call me grandpa!" Xiao Tian responded coldly. "Devour, Annihilate!"

With a single thought, five enormous black holes appeared out of thin air, moving to devour the five demon kings.

"The Devouring Ancestral Symbol?" Upon seeing this, the Ten Kings Hall roared, "Are you the current holder of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol? Did you kill the Nine Kings Hall?"

"You guessed right. So now, it's your turn to die," Xiao Tian smiled slightly. The five black holes spun wildly, transforming into five cages trapping the demon kings inside.

Then, an overwhelming force capable of tearing apart space emerged from all directions.

"Ahh!" Under the onslaught of this devouring force, within a single breath, four of the demon kings were shredded into pieces by the violent energy. Even the Ten Kings Hall, amidst agonized screams, began to be torn apart.

The five demon kings were utterly powerless in Xiao Tian's hands.

Soon, the four ordinary demon kings were completely annihilated. Since experiencing a hundred years of reincarnation under the Bodhi tree, Xiao Tian no longer needed to use all his divine artifacts to deal with ordinary demon kings.

However, after the Ten Kings Hall's body was torn apart, it turned into a black light, attempting to flee.

But in the next moment, another black hole appeared, swallowing the Ten Kings Hall's demon spirit.

"Ah! Let me go, or else my Demon Abyss will hunt you down!" the Ten Kings Hall screamed, trying to threaten him.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Xiao Tian sneered, completely unmoved.

"If you won't let me go, then die with me!" The Ten Kings Hall glared at Xiao Tian, and his body began to swell violently, signaling an imminent self-destruction.

"Space Seal!" Xiao Tian grabbed the space around the Ten Kings Hall, condensing it into a small spatial sphere. Layers of silver spatial energy formed around it, sealing it tightly.

"Bang!" A faint explosion sounded as the small sphere expanded slightly before contracting back. After the Ten Kings Hall self-destructed, he was completely erased from existence.

However, his demonic energy remained within the small sphere. Xiao Tian put away the sphere, intending to purify it later. Performing various divine techniques in front of so many people would be inappropriate.

Witnessing Xiao Tian obliterate the five demon kings in an instant, everyone's view of him changed. From his displayed strength, it was clear he was not just an ordinary reincarnation realm expert but likely one of those terrifying beings who had survived the reincarnation tribulation.

Given his mastery of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, he was undoubtedly one of the most powerful forces in existence. With him around, there was no chance of anyone else claiming the Devouring Lord's inheritance.

The Devouring Lord looked at the crowd and said, "The inheritance has found its candidate. You may all leave now."

"Yes," the crowd responded, without a trace of dissatisfaction. In this world, the strong are revered and can have everything.

"The future holds another great war. None shall remain unscathed under such an onslaught," the Devouring Lord sighed, turning to Xiao Diao, Zhu Li, Liu Qing, and two others. "You five have already touched upon reincarnation. Today, I shall bestow a great fortune upon you."

With a flick of his finger, five beams of light entered their bodies.

"These are some of my insights into reincarnation. I hope you all can step into the reincarnation realm."

"Thank you, Devouring Lord!" The five bowed respectfully.

The Devouring Lord then waved his hand, sending beams of black light into the bodies of everyone present. Although the benefits were not as substantial as those given to the five, it would still help them in the future.

"We thank you, my lord!" Everyone bowed gratefully before leaving.

...

Elsewhere, the Devouring Lord and Xiao Tian had already returned to the Devouring Hall.

The Devouring Lord said, "I didn't expect your understanding of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to match mine."

"It's just a fortunate encounter," Xiao Tian acknowledged. Without the hundred years of enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, his comprehension of the Ancestral Symbols couldn't compare to the ancient masters. The cycle of a hundred lives allowed him to thoroughly grasp the three Ancestral Symbols.

"Now, you and my descendant may enter and receive both my insights and my power," the Devouring Lord said, his body beginning to distort as black light emerged, forming a giant black hole.

The black hole spun like a gaping maw, swallowing Xiao Tian and Kun Ling.

"I'm leaving this world. The rest is up to you..." The Devouring Lord's voice echoed as he completely vanished from existence.

...

Xiao Tian looked around, seeing an endless, dazzling ocean. The waters sparkled, their beauty mesmerizing.

"Is this the Reincarnation Sea of my ancestor?" Kun Ling asked, marveling at their surroundings.

Upon entering the reincarnation realm, one's dantian transforms into a Reincarnation Sea, vast and mysterious, containing a lifetime of power.

Xiao Tian leaped into the Reincarnation Sea.

"Whoosh!" Instantly, immense power surged from all directions, rushing towards Xiao Tian's body with overwhelming force.

With his current strength, he handled it effortlessly.

The Devouring Ancestral Symbol appeared, transforming into a massive black hole, absorbing the Reincarnation Sea's energy.

As Xiao Tian absorbed the energy, his aura grew increasingly powerful.

"Boom!" Soon, Xiao Tian's cultivation broke through from the peak of seven-star Dou Saint to eight-star Dou Saint. The breakthrough didn't stop there but continued.

With the insights gained from a hundred lifetimes, Xiao Tian had no bottlenecks; he just needed enough energy to keep advancing.

Eight-star Dou Saint mid-stage.

Eight-star Dou Saint late-stage.

Eight-star Dou Saint peak.

Nine-star Dou Saint!

His cultivation soared to the early stage of the nine-star Dou Saint before halting. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue, but the Reincarnation Sea's energy was nearly depleted.

Though it seemed he only advanced two stars from the peak of seven-star Dou Saint to nine-star Dou Saint, the energy required for these levels was immense, almost equivalent to the cumulative energy of all previous levels.

Moreover, Xiao Tian needed to leave some energy for Kun Ling, as promised to the Devouring Lord. Keeping his word was essential.

There would be other opportunities for Xiao Tian to advance further. The Nirvana Demon Flame would soon appear. Once he refined it, his strength would likely reach new heights.
