Chapter 0897: The Formless Demon Ancestor

Under the gaze of the Yellow Dragon, a ancient beast with a human body, tiger head, thick limbs, and a long tail stood atop a towering peak. Purple-red lightning pillars kept crashing down at it.
These purple-red lightning pillars contained waves of destructive power.
“The Armless Tiger Demon!” The Yellow Dragon recognized its origin.
The Armless Tiger Demon was a type of ancient demon from the Abyss, a king among tigers. This particular Armless Tiger Demon already possessed the strength of a peak being from four eras and was now undergoing the Destruction Calamity to advance to the fifth era.
“Master, this Armless Tiger Demon is about to break through to the fifth era. But it won’t be easy. Should we lend it a hand? Once subdued, it could be a valuable ally for you!” said Emperor Zhong.
“Subdue it?” The Yellow Dragon nodded.
At present, he didn’t have a single Half-Saint-level warrior under his command, and figures like the Rebellious Dragon were relatively weak. He indeed needed a few capable subordinates.
However, just as the Yellow Dragon was about to intervene to help the Armless Tiger Demon overcome the Destruction Calamity, a massive wave of demonic energy surged toward it.
Within this overwhelming demonic energy, sharp sword lights, murderous blade glows, and axe shadows that could tear through everything flashed continuously.
It seemed the demonic energy was about to hit the Armless Tiger Demon. If struck, it would suffer severe damage and surely be overwhelmed by the destructive force of the calamity.
The Armless Tiger Demon’s expression changed, filled with urgency. Although it had set up restrictions around itself, they were useless—the demonic energy destroyed those restrictions layer by layer as it passed.
Billions of miles away, the Yellow Dragon suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped forcefully. A golden palm print met the demonic energy, causing a loud explosion. Instantly, the demonic energy was repelled, dissipating and revealing over fifty divine artifacts hidden within it!
Each of these fifty-plus divine artifacts was comparable to the Hunyuan Blood Dragon Hammer—top-tier artifacts from the Later Postnatal era!
After being repelled, the artifacts spun around, forming a formation. At the center of the formation appeared a powerful demon.
After slapping, the Yellow Dragon flashed and crossed billions of miles of distance to appear before the other party.
“Heh heh, I wondered who ruined my plans for the Formless Demon Ancestor. It turns out to be just a minor being from four eras!” The demon sneered at the Yellow Dragon.
The Formless Demon Ancestor, like Jiu Li and the Heaven-Hating Demon Ancestor, was a powerful demon from the World of All Demons. Yet its strength far surpassed that of Jiu Li and the Heaven-Hating Demon Ancestor.
The Yellow Dragon realized that this Formless Demon Ancestor was a being from the later stages of the fifth era, already close to its peak.

The Four Great Abysses are places where disciples from various forces across the Three Thousand Great Worlds undergo trials, and they are also excellent locations for many powerful beings to cultivate. The Chaos Abyss is home to countless mighty ancient demons and beasts, which serve as excellent nourishment for demonic cultivators practicing demonic arts.

As the Voice of the Formless Demon Ancestor sounded, streaks of purplish-red lightning infused with destructive power struck the head of the Armored Tiger Demon. At that moment, the Armored Tiger Demon summoned a giant hammer and, with a fierce roar, charged at the purplish-red lightning columns.

“You brat, since you’ve ruined my plans, you’ll stay here too—becoming my soul servants along with that Armored Tiger Demon!” The Formless Demon Ancestor roared as he leaped up and delivered a palm strike each at Huang Long and the Armored Tiger Demon.

Two enormous black palm prints covered the sky, pressing down like ancient divine mountains and stifling the surrounding space. The violent air currents dissipated, leaving an area of millions of miles in complete vacuum.

Seeing this, Huang Long let out a cold roar and threw his fists forward.

The Formless Demon Ancestor, seeing Huang Long attempting to block his attacks with bare hands, sneered in mockery—thinking he was overestimating himself!

Yet soon, his expression changed. Wherever Huang Long’s fists passed, his massive black palm prints were shattered again, replaced by powerful forces radiating colorful golden light.

After dispersing the opponent’s attacks with his fists, Huang Long struck again, shattering the destructive power of the purplish-red lightning columns. At the same time, the Armored Tiger Demon’s giant hammer also struck those columns.

“How could your true form be so powerful?!” The Formless Demon Ancestor stepped back, staring at Huang Long in disbelief, then with growing seriousness.

It was then that he began to take Huang Long, who only possessed the strength of a Half-Saint after four eras, seriously.

Huang Long ignored the Formless Demon Ancestor and did not summon his Chaos Bell either. Instead, he continued to strike the purplish-red lightning columns with his fists.

“You’re seeking death!” Filled with rage, the Formless Demon Ancestor shouted, “Formless Demon Palm!” He raised both palms, thrusting them downward in a fierce slash at Huang Long.

With that slash, two black palm prints transformed into demonic knives that sliced toward Huang Long from left and right—extremely sharp. As they moved toward him, the demonic knives kept changing size, sometimes transparent, sometimes light, and sometimes as heavy as mountains.

Huang Long didn’t move much either and simply countered with his fists.

Two powerful forces collided with the Formless Demon Ancestor’s attacks.

The sky trembled violently, mountains collapsed, and forests disappeared one after another.

For Huang Long, who had mastered the Supreme Transformation Art, his true body itself was a weapon of attack. No demonic art or supreme technique could escape the realm of his power.

Absolute power that can shatter everything!
Yet, with this single strike, both the Yellow Dragon and the Formless Demon Ancestor were sent flying.
Perched high in the sky, the Yellow Dragon and the Formless Demon Ancestor stood opposite each other, one a golden glow and the other a black one.
Waves of energy kept colliding and exploding.
The Formless Demon Ancestor stared at the Yellow Dragon, growing increasingly astonished. Having witnessed countless powerful beings across five great cosmic collapses and three thousand worlds, this was the first time he had encountered an opponent with such formidable innate strength!
A warrior from one era being able to match five warriors from different eras based solely on their innate strength would surely cause a storm in the three thousand worlds.
“If you can withstand my Formless Demon Palm, you can be my opponent. Boy, tell me your name. With your cultivation level, you must be someone well-known in the three thousand worlds!” the Formless Demon Ancestor said coldly.
The Yellow Dragon replied slowly, “There’s no need for you to know my name, because for a dying man, it’s unnecessary!”
“Arrogant! Seeking death!” The Formless Demon Ancestor’s expression changed as he roared. In a flash, he transformed into a streak of demonic light and appeared right in front of the Yellow Dragon. “Meet my Formless Demon Array!” With a wave of his hands, over fifty divine artifacts rushed out from his body, all targeting the Yellow Dragon.
As these fifty-plus divine artifacts attacked, they formed a circular array that instantly encircled the Yellow Dragon’s body before launching a fierce assault.
“Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!”
As the artifacts struck the Yellow Dragon, loud clangs echoed through the air.
After this single attack, the Formless Demon Ancestor retreated and laughed loudly, “Boy, I guess you’re not dead after all!” But then his expression turned terrified, his eyes wide as he stared at the Yellow Dragon’s body.
The attacks from those fifty-plus divine artifacts had left only dozens of faint marks on the Yellow Dragon’s body—so slight that not even a drop of blood had seeped out!
Fifty top-tier divine artifacts had failed to even pierce the Yellow Dragon’s skin!
“What kind of monster is this?!” The Formless Demon Ancestor shuddered.
Meanwhile, the Yellow Dragon frowned at the marks on his body and muttered to himself, “My innate defense is still too weak. I need to train harder to strengthen it!”
