Primordial Corpse Ancestor

It was not easy for Yang Mei to make his way forward. He walked slowly and laboriously until he came to a dense forest. Originally, this forest should have been exceptionally lush and green, with various ancient divine trees standing tall. However, at this moment, they were all leaning to one side or the other, and some were even broken off on the ground.

"Alas! What a pity for this forest! There were many spiritual roots and herbs there, each with different effects, but unfortunately, none of them are left now!" Yang Mei sighed as he looked at the devastated forest in front of him.

Soon, just as Yang Mei had said, a Nine-Leaf Purple Cloud Flower with a very strong spiritual energy appeared before Yang Mei's eyes. Unfortunately, the Nine-Leaf Purple Cloud Flower had already been blown away by the hurricane, leaving only half of its stem remaining. The rest of the flower had long since disappeared!

Yang Mei shook his head and sighed. There were many rare spiritual herbs here that even Yang Mei had to pay attention to, but now almost all of them had been destroyed. Yang Mei even wondered how many magical herbs and monsters would become extinct after this calamity, and he believed that such things were not uncommon.

Along the way, Yang Mei couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of life. Even he, a primordial being who had existed since the beginning of chaos, could not control his own destiny. Otherwise, he wouldn't be here, let alone these little creatures without any intelligence.

As time went by, Yang Mei's strength finally recovered, so he promptly improved his appearance and avoided continuing to wander around in beggar's clothes!

However, as Yang Mei's body recovered, she discovered that the spiritual energy in the Endless Primordial World was not as abundant as before. Although she didn't know what had caused the spiritual energy in the Primordial World to become thinner, Yang Mei believed that it would gradually recover in the future, so she didn't pay too much attention to it.

As his body gradually recovered, Yang Mei noticed a faint aura of innate energy emanating from afar, as if some innate spiritual entity existed there.

"Hmm? What is that? Such a strong innate aura, it must be something extraordinary. Let's go take a look, maybe we'll find something useful." He then raised his eyebrows and followed the faint innate aura forward.

As Yang Mei approached, he noticed that the innate energy here was becoming increasingly abundant. Soon, he discovered the source of the energy, which was faintly emanating from the depths of a small mountain.

Yang Mei then followed the aura and arrived at the foot of this small mountain filled with endless innate energy. This small mountain was exceptionally small and beautiful, only a few hundred feet high, and occasionally dotted with some green. Although it had experienced a great calamity, some life on this mountain had still been preserved intact.

Even without the ever-spreading innate aura, a discerning observer would surely notice the unique features of this mountain, as places where life still exists are extremely rare.

After observing for a long time at the foot of the mountain, Yang Mei discovered that these rich innate energies were all emanating from a small hole. However, upon closer inspection, Yang Mei found that although the entrance to the hole was small, the inside contained a vast universe.

When Yang Mei transformed into a stream of light and entered the cave, he discovered that it contained a space of nearly several hundred cubic meters in diameter. Within this space, a small golden tower, barely a foot tall, floated in the void, continuously releasing a rich aura of innate energy.

"Hehe, I never expected that what attracted me all this way would be such a small tower. I wonder what its purpose is. I hope it won't disappoint me." Yang Mei looked at the small tower in front of him with an expectant expression.

The small tower has nine floors, with a small bell hanging from each of its six corners. Each floor has its own door and window, and the doors, windows, and beams are carved with countless rare and exotic beasts. However, the doors are not connected to each other. To enter the next floor, one must go up and down the internal stairs. The interior of each floor is a small room that can hold items.

However, none of these are the most important factors. The most important factor is that this small tower is an innate spiritual treasure. Although it's not among the top-tier types, it still possesses very good defensive capabilities, which is exactly what Yang Mei urgently needs right now.

After all, in terms of attack, Yang Mei possessed the Chaos Spiritual Treasure Golden Willow Branch, while in defense, she had the Law of Space; both were relatively balanced. However, she could never fully concentrate on attacking, always having to be distracted by defense while attacking. Soon, Yang Mei arrived beside the small tower and began to carefully observe it.

"Haha! I never expected that I, Yangmei, would also have such an opportunity, gaining another rare treasure during this great calamity. Heaven truly has not forsaken me!" Looking at the small tower so close to him, Yangmei was extremely excited. As soon as he finished speaking, Yangmei stretched out his hands, preparing to take down the small tower for refining.

"Snapped!"

However, things are unpredictable, and there are always unexpected events. Just as Yang Mei's hands were about to land on the small tower and retrieve it, a loud explosion was heard, and a huge dragon tail swept across the space several feet in front of Yang Mei, knocking the small tower, which was within reach, away into the distance.

"Ah! Who is it?" Yang Mei's expression changed drastically, and he roared in extreme rage. He had already decided that this small tower was his treasure, but a sudden change of events forced him to reconsider.

"Hehe, Yangmei, it's been a long time! How have you been?" Zulong greeted Yangmei warmly with a smile, but Yangmei couldn't feel any warmth from him at all!

"Zulong, what do you mean by this? I discovered this pagoda first, why are you interfering? You'd better leave now, or I won't hesitate to beat you to a pulp!" Yang Mei suppressed his resentment and calmly looked at Zulong in response.

"Hehe, why are you so agitated, Yangmei! What's meant to be yours will be yours, and what's not meant to be yours will not be yours if you force it. Just like back then, you, Yangmei, the Beast Emperor, and Hongjun all tried to seize my Plain Cloud Banner, but you didn't get it either. This proves that the Plain Cloud Banner should have been mine to begin with."

Zu Long smiled and retorted to Yang Mei, his words full of mockery.

It turns out that when Zulong was cultivating in the East Sea, Yangmei, Hongjun, and the Beast Emperor all tried to seize the Plain Cloud Banner from Zulong, but they all failed and could only let Zulong continue to possess it. This fully demonstrates the strength of the Five Banners of Heaven and Earth, and also makes it even more coveted by the powerful beings of the prehistoric world.

"So you're saying you're absolutely unwilling to give it up! Fine! Since you won't give it up, then I won't be polite! Although you have the Plain Cloud Banner for defense, making it impossible for either of us to break through, your attack power is far inferior to mine!"

He raised an eyebrow and looked at Zu Long, who still had a playful expression, and said in a chilling tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Mei suddenly flipped his wrist, and a golden willow branch immediately appeared in his palm. Then, Yang Mei's boundless power burst out from his body and surged into the golden willow branch. Suddenly, the golden willow branch became extremely indestructible, and like an arrow, it shot out and headed straight for the distant Ancestral Dragon.

In an instant, the golden leaves on the golden willow branches began to pulsate, like sharp daggers, constantly rotating around the golden willow vines, their tips pointing forward in unison.

Seeing a golden light suddenly shoot towards him, the Ancestral Dragon instantly created a gust of wind and flashed past. Then, the Ancestral Dragon instantly transformed into a blue dragon that was tens of feet long, just large enough to fit the entire cave.

"roar!"

With a roar that shook the four directions and dominated the eight wastelands, an endless aura suddenly erupted from the Ancestral Dragon. In an instant, countless rocks rolled down from the surrounding area. The Ancestral Dragon's enormous figure instantly transformed into streaks of dancing light, and its massive tail lashed out at Yang Mei in the distance.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Golden and cyan light streamed through the cave, but the two were able to control it. In fact, Yang Mei even used spatial laws to set up a spatial isolation array in the cave to ensure that the small tower was not affected.

"roar!"

Suddenly, the Ancestral Dragon extended its enormous claws and descended directly upon Yang Mei, instantly stirring up waves of energy. Rings of powerful aura continuously impacted the surroundings, as if it were about to raze this place to the ground at any moment.

"snort!"

Seeing the azure dragon claw about to fall from above, Yang Mei raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly. Then he disappeared instantly. When Yang Mei reappeared, he was already above the Ancestral Dragon. Then, the golden willow branch, like a sharp sword, pierced down with endless pressure. In an instant, endless golden light spread out.

"Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!"

Several sounds rang out in succession. It turned out that Yang Mei's attack had failed to penetrate the scales of the Ancestral Dragon, but it seemed to have sparked golden sparks, which were exceptionally dazzling. The golden willow branch left a long mark on the Ancestral Dragon's body.

"Roar!" A sharp roar, though it failed to break through the Ancestral Dragon's defenses, struck the Ancestral Dragon's massive body with great force, causing the Ancestral Dragon considerable pain.

Then, the Ancestral Dragon fought back fiercely, and instantly transformed into a streak of azure light, approaching Yangmei again. It once again blasted Yangmei with its massive dragon tail. At the same time, the Ancestral Dragon also hung its plain-colored cloud banner above its head. With the plain-colored cloud banner, the Ancestral Dragon was already invincible.

"Hmm! Is this Ancestral Dragon deliberately trying to cause trouble? With the Plain-Colored Cloud Banner by my side, even if I wanted to attack him, I couldn't. With my current strength, I can't break through the Plain-Colored Cloud Banner's defenses. I'm afraid even the Beast Emperor might not be able to do it!"

Seeing the Plain Cloud Banner hanging above the Ancestral Dragon, Yang Mei was amazed. Even Yang Mei had to admire the Plain Cloud Banner's defense. Although the Plain Cloud Banner was no longer the complete Chaos Banner, as a component of the Chaos Banner, it still possessed considerable defensive capabilities.

In the current situation, it is probably only those who have reached the mid-to-late stage of Quasi-Saint cultivation who will have a chance to break through the defense of the Plain-Colored Cloud Banner. Otherwise, unless there are special means or methods, it is absolutely impossible to break through the defense of the Plain-Colored Cloud Banner. Even the Beast Emperor could not do it. However, the Beast Emperor is no longer alive, but Yang Mei is unaware of this!
