I am really not a medical immortal.

Chapter 1738 - 1737: Members of the Human Clan

"Feeling chased to the limit?" Zhang Xiaohao joked.

"Yes." Zha Muzhen nodded heavily.

"In that case, let’s completely shake off these hateful Eating Immortal Demon Ants!" Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.

At that moment, he focused his mind, communicating with the depths of the Spirit Sea, where the three Supreme Law Seeds were. He cast the Reincarnation Law, and milky white fog shot out from Zhang Xiaohao’s body, instantly wrapping around the Third Saintess and Zha Muzhen under his control. The environment around them changed, turning black, resembling the black Demonic Qi within the Dark Jungle; from both outward and fundamental appearances, there was no difference to be seen.

Whoosh whoosh!!

Two sounds of breaking through the air arose, and Zhang Xiaohao and Zha Muzhen flashed forward. When they appeared again, they were over three hundred feet away, landing on a giant tree branch after a few flickers.

The Eating Immortal Demon Ants, originally following closely like dead dogs, became confused after Zhang Xiaohao deployed the Reincarnation Law. The three’s presence completely vanished, and the ants appeared puzzled, bewildered by their surroundings.

With the enormous swarm of Eating Immortal Demon Ants chattering away in place, they suddenly charged into the ground’s cracks and disappeared within a few flicks.

"Sir, those hateful Eating Immortal Demon Ants have finally left." Zha Muzhen sighed in relief.

"It seems all of this is being controlled by someone in the shadows! I’m very curious, a single Eating Immortal Demon Ant isn’t terrifying, but as a swarm, they’re the scariest creatures! And the sheer number, who possesses such a great ability to control all this? What is their purpose?" Zhang Xiaohao pondered with a heavy expression.

"I know." At that moment, the Third Saintess spoke from within Zhang Xiaohao’s embrace.

"Hmm? You know?" Zhang Xiaohao furrowed his brows.

"Yes!" The Third Saintess nodded heavily.

"Then tell me, who exactly is controlling all of this in the shadows and commanding the Eating Immortal Demon Ants to chase us?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"No one is controlling them, nor do they have a queen ant. Based on records I’ve read from my clan’s archives, it’s the Demon Ancestor’s fragments driving them!" the Third Saintess explained seriously.

"The Demon Ancestor’s fragments? Isn’t he already dead? Where would fragments come from?" Zhang Xiaohao asked, puzzled.

"Though the Demon Ancestor is dead, his abilities before death were peerless; his soul wouldn’t vanish easily even after dying! Furthermore, this is the Ancient Battlefield, where countless corpses are piled. The resentment from these dead does not dissipate easily. Over time, the resentment grows sky-high. The Demon Ancestor was a supreme figure in the Demon Path. Even if his will dissipates, his fragments wouldn’t!" The Third Saintess explained earnestly.

"I underestimated you ancient demons." Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.

"Wait! We haven’t reached the Demon Ancestor’s Tomb. Why are there so many Eating Immortal Demon Ants around? Furthermore, what does the Demon Ancestor’s fragment want by driving these ants?" Zha Muzhen suddenly asked.

"Resurrection!" The Third Saintess said solemnly.

"Resurrection? His will has dissipated, can he be resurrected?" Zha Muzhen asked.

"Yes!" The Third Saintess nodded heavily.

"Legends say that in ancient times, within the Demon Realm, a powerful Demon Ancestor existed with extraordinary abilities. After death, he continually resurrected! No one knows the method he used! Each resurrection restored his memory, and his abilities became even stronger, his Demon Flame reaching the heavens! It’s been nearly a million years since the last resurrection!" The Third Saintess said.

"Is he called Qi Ye Demon Ancestor?" Zha Muzhen exclaimed.

"Yes! How do you know? Oh, I forgot, your Spirit King has lived a million years, the archives must record many secrets between the Spirit Realm and the Demon Realm." The Third Saintess replied.

"Is this Qi Ye Demon Ancestor powerful?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Sir, if these fragments indeed belong to Qi Ye Demon Ancestor, he is incredibly powerful! According to Uncle Ling Xuzi, a million years ago Qi Ye Demon Ancestor fought against the Spirit King Ancestor. They parted ways, and no one knows the outcome." Zha Muzhen explained seriously.

"If this is true, the motives of Qi Ye Demon Ancestor are extensive!" Zhang Xiaohao sneered.

"Sir, what should we do now? Should we continue forward?" Zha Muzhen asked.

Hearing Zha Muzhen’s words, the Third Saintess was also curious about Zhang Xiaohao’s decision.

"Go! Why not? The more it is like this, the more we must proceed! Since the opponent is on par with the Spirit Clan’s predecessors, his tomb must contain the Demon Dragon Sword, no doubt a Mystic Sky Treasure!" Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes sparkled.

"Sir, this journey is fraught with danger. I don’t mind, but you are the future hope of the Spirit Clan! Perhaps you should reconsider?" Zha Muzhen advised.

"Success comes from seeking amidst danger; the greater the danger, the greater the opportunity! If we back down due to fear, it will leave a fearsome Heart Demon within us." Zhang Xiaohao said sternly.

"Your guidance is right, I was overthinking this," Zha Muzhen replied.

"Let’s rest a bit first. After traveling for over three months, even sturdy steel would wear down; let’s eat something to fill our stomachs." Zhang Xiaohao smiled.

Turning his palm, he took out some food and tossed it over.

Zha Muzhen didn’t hesitate, grabbing the skewers and eating heartily.

"These are for you," Zhang Xiaohao said.

He handed a string of skewers to the Third Saintess.

"Thank you!" The Third Saintess expressed.

She accepted the skewers from Zhang Xiaohao and started eating. Over these days, she was already hungry; although they were accomplished cultivators, hunger still prevailed.

Zhang Xiaohao was no exception, enjoying the skewers himself.

After half an hour, Zhang Xiaohao and the others were full, their spirits revitalized.

"Let’s go!" Zhang Xiaohao beckoned.

"Yes." The Third Saintess and Zha Muzhen nodded.

"Ah! Help! Someone help!" Suddenly, a desperate cry for help came from behind.

Immediately, the ground quaked and split open with a giant crack, with countless Eating Immortal Demon Ants emerging, chasing after twenty young members of the Human Clan.
