Chapter 521 The Dao Lord's Legacy [Part Two]

This disheveled man was none other than Hu Guan.

After receiving the power bestowed upon him by Hu Qi, he first thoroughly purged his own group.

Once the foundation is solid, the grand undertaking of expanding and strengthening the lineage begins.

For the first ten years or so, everything went quite smoothly.

With his youthful vigor and impressive wealth, he naturally had no shortage of female admirers willing to bear his children.

Over the course of more than a decade, he worked tirelessly day and night, and eventually reaped more than fifty offspring.

Most of these children are ordinary people.

Only a small number of people inherited the extraordinary power.

In response to this situation.

Hu Guan didn't care.

As long as such offspring can be produced, the ancestor's command can be fulfilled.

According to normal circumstances.

Even if he does nothing now, he can still live a carefree and comfortable life.

After all, according to the ancestor, given his current condition, he could live for another thousand years.

This is such a long period of time, which, when converted, is more than ten times that of an average person.

However, he was not satisfied with this.

People often say that some people become fearless of death as they get older.

That's utter nonsense.

Only those who have truly experienced the brink of death can understand just how terrifying death can be.

Human greed is limitless.

His current young and robust physique has instilled in him an unprecedented desire for great power.

To gain a longer lifespan and greater power, one must rely on the protection of one's ancestors.

Perhaps, when the Hu family bloodline has multiplied to a point of sufficient prosperity.

It is possible that our ancestors will manifest themselves again and grant us an even longer life.

but.

It is precisely because of the emergence of this ability and the change in mindset.

The Hu family also developed a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children.

The direct descendants, as the name suggests, are the members of the Hu family who inherited extraordinary power.

Ordinary people without ability belong to the commoner lineage.

Hu Guan thought this would continue.

Until he completed the task entrusted to him by his ancestors.

But it backfired.

An accident occurred shortly after the eleventh Spring Festival.

That day, countless powerful fake humans rained down from the sky, crashing onto the earth like meteorites.

These pseudo-humans are ravaging major cities on Earth, hunting down humans and eating them.

Initially, human civilization was able to organize effective resistance.

The elite troops of various countries, in conjunction with modern weaponry, even successfully wiped out several groups of invading puppet troops.

However, the situation quickly took a turn for the worse.

The number of fake humans is growing exponentially, the human defenses are crumbling, and the situation is extremely precarious.

Just when civilization was on the verge of collapse, Hu Guan suddenly appeared.

They swept across the battlefield with overwhelming force, annihilating all the terrifying false men.

Countless people on the verge of despair were saved as a result.

Although his initial intentions were mixed with personal motives, when Hu Guan saw the faces of the rescued people who had survived the ordeal, an unprecedented sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.

Under the protection of the Hu family, humans built shelters in the ruins of abandoned cities.

The clarion call for the counterattack has finally sounded.

They reclaimed the lost city from those hypocrites.

Until that day came.

Two beings claiming to be 'observers of civilization' suddenly appeared and overwhelmed the entire human camp with overwhelming power.

Even the powerful Hu Guan was seriously injured and nearly died from a casual strike by the opponent.

A long-lost feeling of powerlessness resurfaced.

He was angry and resentful.

But what pained him most was the look of hatred in the eyes of ordinary humans on Earth when they looked at the Hu family after the Hu family was suppressed.

The jarring term 'monster' kept coming from the mouths of the people he protected.

He didn't understand why these people harbored such malice towards him.

In the days that followed.

The two individuals who called themselves 'observers of civilization' manipulated the Hu family members with an almost godlike deity-like manner.

They regarded the Hu family members as servants who could be ordered around at will, and could be summoned and ordered around with just a thought.

These manipulated members of the Hu family were forced to carry out the task of cleaning up the pseudo-humans who had invaded human settlements, but they were always prohibited from completely eliminating the pseudo-human groups that roamed outside.

It's as if they're deliberately maintaining a delicate balance.

As for him, he was imprisoned and they began to study the mystery of the source of his power.

On the cold experimental table, he was dissected and sliced ​​time and time again, his internal organs were dug out and regenerated.

What's even more cruel is that, because of his powerful regenerative abilities, the researchers didn't even administer anesthesia.

Anyway, I won't die.

This daily, almost excruciating pain drove him nearly insane.

"Your ancestor?"

Upon hearing Hu Guan's words, the researcher in the white coat curled his lips into a mocking smile.

"If your ancestor was truly so powerful, why hasn't he come to save you yet?"

He pushed up his glasses and sneered.

"Could it be that you've already died somewhere? You aliens in human skin are troublesome, but you're not immortal."

"you……"

Upon hearing the other party insult his ancestors, a cold glint flashed in Hu Guan's eyes, but then his expression shifted slightly as he turned to look at the laboratory door.

With a soft 'click', the metal door slowly opened.

Two figures stood against the light.

The man in the lead was in his early twenties, with striking eyebrows and bright eyes, and was exceptionally handsome.

Beside him was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen, whose bright eyes sparkled with life, and whose petite figure exuded a lively charm.

Hu Guan's pupils suddenly contracted.

These two people looked harmless, but they were the culprits who turned him into what he is today.

However, nearly a hundred years have passed since then.

However, their appearances did not change.

This made him realize that these two people might be like his ancestors.

When the two figures appeared at the door, the air in the laboratory seemed to freeze instantly.

All the researchers, whether they were operating instruments or recording data, stopped what they were doing without prior arrangement.

Their eyes revealed an almost devout reverence.

These two people are none other than others.

It was Wang Chang and Yan Xi.

Wang Chang waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave first.

Then, he brought Yan Xi to Hu Guan.

Wang Chang's gaze swept over Hu Guan, who was standing before him.

It's like watching a rare animal.

"What strange creatures! They are clearly human, yet they were born with power comparable to a Martial King! Unfortunately, I no longer have time to continue my research; I can only destroy you!"

Wang Chang's expression was a mix of amusement and regret.

The Hu family's innate extraordinary talent is simply astonishing.

If it were just one person, it wouldn't be so bad, but as long as it's a descendant of the Hu family, there's a certain chance of inheriting this power, which is even greater than the chance of a divine body appearing.

This also made him want to explore it further.

Unfortunately, so far we have gained nothing.

Fortunately, this power has limitations. The strongest patriarch of the Hu family is only at the peak of the Martial Emperor realm.

To him, they were nothing more than ants that he could crush at will.

"Senior Brother Wang Chang, is it really necessary to go to such extremes? If all else fails, just cripple his strength!"

Yan Xi looked at Hu Guan's miserable appearance and seemed to feel a little sorry for him.

"Junior Sister Yanxi, these people are ultimately a scourge, and will interfere with the gestation of the seeds of civilization."

The safest approach is to nip it in the bud.

"Master asked me to bring you out for training precisely because your nature is too pure and kind. This kind of nature is fine for your own people, but it won't work for your enemies!"

Wang Chang shook his head and gave a heartfelt lecture.

Listening to the conversation between the two.

Hu Guan's face was contorted.

He opened his mouth to say something, but then he caught a glimpse of something to the side and suddenly stopped.

His expression changed from anger to ecstasy.

"...Ancestor!"

Upon seeing this, Wang Chang and Yan Xi were both taken aback.

He suddenly turned his head to look to one side.

Behind them, no more than five meters away, another figure had appeared out of nowhere.

"You are the ancestor of the Hu family?"

Wang Chang's expression was solemn.

The other party appeared behind him silently, without him noticing at all.

Doesn't this mean that the other party's strength is far superior to our own?

Think about this.

He subtly took a step back, bringing himself one step closer to Hu Guan.

Why did you two attack my Hu family?

Hu Qi remained calm, showing no sign of anger.

"They were the ones who first interfered with the evolution of the seeds of civilization; we simply brought it back on track!"

Wang Chang was very displeased with Hu Qi's attitude.

But out of caution, I still replied.

"I am a true disciple of Mount Suiwa. May I ask who you are? You must have been the one who entered the teleportation array of the Eye of the Sahara Desert earlier?"

His words directly brought up the background behind him.

At the same time, he asked his own question.

Although the last sentence is a question, its tone is extremely certain.

He had previously visited the Eye of the Sahara and discovered the teleportation array.

Needless to say, there must be something good inside.

However, the teleportation array was severely damaged and could no longer be activated.

That's why he's been here for so long.

Studying the bodies of these Hu family members was only one part of the reason; another part was waiting for Hu Qi to appear.

However, the current situation is somewhat different from what he imagined.

The opponent's strength exceeded his expectations.

"So what if you interfere? Who do you think you are! If you like meddling in other people's business so much, then you should just die!"

Hu Qi chuckled softly, his voice eerily calm.

The last word had just fallen when Hu Qi's figure, who was standing in the distance, suddenly shattered like a bubble.

Wang Chang's expression changed drastically.

He hadn't expected that the other party would attack him without a word, showing no fear or apprehension towards Mount Suiwa.

Is this person crazy?
boom--!
In an instant, the deafening explosion tore through the night sky.

Intense flames shot into the sky, and violent shockwaves swept across the entire laboratory, damaging walls, equipment, and instruments.

Everything was torn to pieces in an instant.

The researchers and guards outside didn't even have time to scream before they were reduced to ashes in the flames.

……

Night fell as dark as ink, and all was silent.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared.

Then a gigantic, sky-covering phantom tore through the heavens and stood majestically between heaven and earth.

The phantom was over ten thousand feet tall, its face bearing a seven or eight-tenths resemblance to Wang Chang, but it appeared even more majestic and sacred, its body radiating a suffocating pressure.

It was none other than the legendary image of the Great Emperor.

Wang Chang's figure appeared even more unfathomable under the reflection of the Dharma image.

At this moment, his five fingers were like hooks, gripping Hu Guan's throat tightly, his voice revealing a hint of fierceness but inner weakness.

The reason for this is that, just a moment ago, the top-tier treasure bestowed by their master, capable of withstanding a strike from a Martial God, shattered under the opponent's attack.

If it weren't for the secret treasure, he would probably be dead by now.

"If you dare to lay a hand on him again, I will kill him!"

Moreover, I have placed restrictions on the entire Hu family; if I perish, they will all perish with me!

"Ancestor, don't worry about me! Kill them and avenge the Hu family!"

At this moment, Hu Guan, who was being held in someone's hand, laughed heartily.

Staring at Wang Chang in front of him, a look of utter hatred and madness flashed across his face, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

Although Hu Guan was old and shrewd, he was also very calculating.

But frankly, he's just an ordinary person.

After gaining extraordinary power, his mental state was no match for those true martial arts masters.

After being captured, he endured years of experimental torture, and although his physical injuries were able to heal.

In reality, he had already gone mad.

However, he was unwilling to accept that he had not seen his enemy die, and it was this thought that sustained him and prevented him from committing suicide.

"Good! Good! As expected of someone of the Hu family bloodline! You've got guts! Go in peace, your ancestor will definitely avenge this blood debt for you!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Qi nodded, a rare look of satisfaction appearing on his face.

"Thank you for your kindness, Ancestor!!"

Hu Guan laughed wildly, looking up at the sky, two lines of bloody tears rolling down his twisted face.

Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly swelled up violently.

Bang!
A violent explosion occurred.

To everyone's horror, Hu Guan's body suddenly exploded on its own!
This sudden turn of events caused Wang Chang's pupils to shrink sharply.

He never expected that this guy would so resolutely choose to self-destruct at this moment!

Moreover, his true energy's sealing effect on the other party's body had absolutely no effect.

At the same time.

Just as Hu Guan was about to explode and die.

Wang Chang's expression changed drastically, as he felt an unprecedented aura of death descend upon him.

"what--"

A blinding light suddenly burst forth from his body, and a series of defensive treasures were activated.

At the same time, his internal energy was pushed to its limit, and he was fully focused on guarding against a possible fatal blow.

Bang-!
suddenly.

Wang Chang, whose strength had reached the level of a Martial Emperor, suddenly exploded without warning, leaving not even a trace behind.

The enormous illusory image of the Dharma also dissipated.

Hu Qi's figure had somehow appeared, standing silently where Wang Chang had just been standing.

Yan Xi, who was standing nearby, felt the aura emanating from Hu Qi, who was very close to her, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

She has a special martial arts skill.

It leans towards pupil techniques.

This also allowed her to barely see what had just happened.

Senior Brother Wang Chang, whose strength had reached the Martial Emperor realm, had his head smashed by the person in front of him with a single palm strike, as easily as swatting a fly.

She never expected it.

In this remote and desolate place, a Martial God has actually appeared!

Even more terrifying.

Judging from that attack, this was no ordinary martial god.

As a key disciple cultivated by the Suiwa Starfield, Senior Brother Wang Chang possesses countless life-saving techniques.

But at this moment.

These methods didn't even have a chance to be used.
He noticed Hu Qi's gaze.

Yan Xi's expression froze.

"You don't actually want to kill me, do you? My grandfather is the sect leader of Suiwa Mountain. If you kill me, my grandfather will not let you off the hook."

Although she said this, her pale and bloodless face revealed that she was not without fear in the face of Hu Qi, but was just putting on a brave face.

She paused for a moment and then continued.

"You must be connected to the Hu family here, as long as you..."

However, she didn't finish her sentence.

A black rope appeared in Hu Qi's hand at some point, and one end of the rope was tied around her neck.

It's like walking a dog.

"you--"

Her pupils contracted sharply, her whole body trembled, and she instinctively wanted to resist.

But to his horror, he discovered that the powerful martial core he had condensed, despite being a Martial Emperor, was frozen solid, and he could not mobilize even the slightest bit of its power.

What made her even more desperate was that all those hidden life-saving measures and protective restrictions had now fallen silent, as if they had never existed.

In that instant, she felt as if all her support had been stripped away, and she had become a mere mortal.

Hu Qi's expression was indifferent.

"I happen to be going to Suiwa Mountain, so I'd appreciate it if you could show me the way."

What are you going to Suiwa Mountain for?

Yan Xi's heart tightened suddenly.

She never expected that the other party would dare to come to her door after killing Wang Chang.

However, Hu Qi's next words made her freeze.

"You killed members of my Hu family, so naturally I will exterminate your entire family, no, I will exterminate your entire clan!"
