Chapter 613 Look at me, you little bastard!
Their Bai family's ancestral tombs were on fire!
This was no longer a simple case of smoke rising from the ancestral grave; it was a full-blown inferno!
The dark Hellfire blazed fiercely, and under the might of this supreme flame of the underworld, no object could withstand its power for long.
Soon, many tombstones were directly burned into ashes.
The members of the Bai family outside the ancestral shrine's wasteland were completely dumbfounded.
They couldn't see the illusion that Qiao Yu was experiencing. All they saw was Qiao Yu standing blankly for a while, and then suddenly going crazy and setting fire to the ancestral tombs.
Bai Xinji seized the opportunity and immediately jumped out.
"Bai Xinweng, what do you have to say now? This is the unfilial descendant you brought back! I told you, that kid is just a wild bastard, daring to set fire to the ancestral cemetery; he's utterly rebellious!"
Bai Xinweng's lips twitched, and he didn't know what kind of expression to make for a moment.
Bai Shiyan simply covered his eyes; he couldn't bear to watch any longer.
He thought the most regrettable thing he had done in his life was to follow Qiao Anqing back to Kaiji Star, but now he had another thing he regretted even more—bringing Qiao Yu back to the Bai family!
"So patient?"
Qiao Yu, within the ancestral shrine's wasteland, narrowed his eyes with a suspicious look.
The illusion just now clearly indicated that something was playing tricks, and that something was definitely hidden in the cemetery before him.
"I'll see how patient you can be. Watch me stoke the flames!"
Driven by Qiao Yu, the Hellfire burned even more intensely.
Whether it was flowers, trees, or坟 mounds and tombstones, they all began to turn into nothingness one by one.
Seeing that the entire cemetery was about to be completely swallowed by the Hellfire, the thing hidden in the darkness finally couldn't sit still any longer!
The ground beneath Qiao Yu's feet suddenly began to collapse. Qiao Yu leaped away, trying to escape, but a terrifying suction force suddenly came from the collapsing ground.
Caught off guard, Qiao Yu was directly dragged towards the ground by this terrifying suction force.
The black pit was like a beast opening its mouth, wanting to devour Qiao Yu.
"Hellfire Lock-On Edition!"
Qiao Yu reacted extremely quickly, and not caring about the burden on his Ghost Eyes, he directly blasted a burst of Hellfire into the ground.
A muffled groan came from underground, and the terrifying suction force came to an abrupt halt.
Qiao Yu hurriedly grabbed the edge of the collapse and flew out, looking at the huge collapse with some lingering fear.
"What exactly is underneath..." Qiao Yu concentrated his power on his Ghost Eyes, and his azure eyes instantly lit up.
Borrowing the terrifying vision of his Ghost Eyes, Qiao Yu looked down along the collapsing ground, and he saw a coffin!
The coffin had no lid, and the color of the entire coffin was a strange dark red, as if it had been soaked in blood.
Lying inside the coffin was an old man with his eyes closed, his face peaceful, his muscles extremely strong, and lifelike.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no rise and fall in his chest, one might even think that the old man was just sleeping.
The moment Qiao Yu's Ghost Eyes saw the old man.
*Whoosh!*
The old man suddenly opened his eyes and met Qiao Yu's gaze!
Those eyes were frighteningly red, like two burning coals.
Qiao Yu let out a muffled groan and couldn't help but close his eyes.
The moment he met the old man's gaze, he felt as if countless silver needles were piercing into his eyes along the old man's gaze.
His Ghost Eyes were now in extreme pain, and he couldn't even open his eyes anymore.
"Burning my cemetery, destroying my tombstones, ruining my affairs, you little brat deserves to die!"
The old man's voice rang out from the ground, his voice hoarse and eerie, sending chills down one's spine.
Although Qiao Yu, who had lost his sight, couldn't see anything, he clearly felt a dangerous aura coming towards him.
Relying on his senses, Qiao Yu suddenly threw a punch forward.
Two forces collided, Qiao Yu spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body was sent flying, falling heavily to the ground.
The old man flew out of the coffin and directly floated in front of Qiao Yu.
And when they saw this old man, all the members of the Bai family outside were stunned!
"That person... seems to be the Ninth Ancestor! The Ninth Ancestor is still alive?"
"The Ninth Ancestor... shouldn't he have died a thousand years ago? Is the person now... really still the Ninth Ancestor?"
"I don't know, but his appearance is indeed exactly the same as the Ninth Ancestor..."
The members of the Bai family discussed among themselves, but no one dared to make a rash judgment.
Because the Ninth Ancestor was the Bai family ancestor who created the Flowing Hundred Transformations Fist; it could be said that without the Ninth Ancestor, there would be no glory of the Bai family today.
However, a terrifying guess arose in everyone's heart: the Ninth Ancestor before them might have turned into some kind of terrifying, bizarre existence.
"Bloodfiend Corpse... the Ninth Ancestor actually refined himself into this kind of ghostly thing..."
While the other members of the Bai family couldn't recognize him, it didn't mean that people like Bai Xinweng couldn't recognize him.
The Ninth Ancestor before them was actually a Bloodfiend Corpse!
The Bloodfiend Corpse was an extremely evil method. After refining oneself into a Bloodfiend Corpse, one might still possess one's own consciousness and intelligence in the early stages.
But as time went by, the desire for blood would constantly erode one's reason, slowly corroding one into a monster that only knew how to kill.
Although this method could prolong life endlessly, it was jointly prohibited by all the forces in the Ninth Universe and was listed as a forbidden technique.
Because once a Bloodfiend Corpse lost control, the first ones it would kill would be its own clan relatives.
The blood of close relatives possessed unparalleled allure for a Bloodfiend Corpse.
When the Ninth Ancestor had just become a Bloodfiend Corpse, he was still able to suppress the desire for blood in his heart with his powerful willpower.
But slowly, he also began to be driven by instinct.
He would first use illusions to bewilder those who approached the ancestral shrine's wasteland. If they couldn't withstand the torment of the illusion, the Ninth Ancestor would determine that the other party was a person of weak mind, unable to shoulder great responsibilities, and would then enjoy the other party's flesh and blood with peace of mind.
He was also the source of the strangeness in the ancestral shrine's wasteland.
When he saw Qiao Yu entering the ancestral shrine's wasteland, the Ninth Ancestor thought it would be the same as before, so he released the illusion without hesitation.
But what he didn't expect was that this time he would actually encounter a lunatic.
Not only was he powerful and possessed the legendary Hellfire, but what was even more outrageous was that this lunatic actually directly set fire to his own ancestral tombs with Hellfire!
Shouldn't those who could enter the ancestral shrine's wasteland be descendants of the Bai family bloodline?
Who in this world would set fire to their own ancestral tombs?
How could such a living bastard appear among his descendants, even forcing him out of the ground?
The Ninth Ancestor knew very well that once he came out this time, he would never be able to go back; he would completely become a Bloodfiend Corpse.
How could this not make the Ninth Ancestor go crazy?
Originally, as long as he continued to persevere, sooner or later he would be able to completely overcome the side effects of the Bloodfiend Corpse, but now all his efforts had been in vain.
He now wished he could devour Qiao Yu alive in order to relieve the resentment in his heart.
"Look at me, you bastard!"
