Chapter 883: The Glass Lizard Ancestor

[Immortal Realm, Ember Dune Desert]

Just after Shenlian Yingyue’s group finished dealing with a group of Glass Lizards in their region, a creature showed up.

"Ignorant intruders, what makes you think you can harm my descendants as you please?" A gigantic Glass Lizard appeared.

Different from the other Glass Lizards, who possessed translucent scales that reflected the desert sun like polished crystal, this gigantic lizard had golden scales as radiant as the summer sun. Its scales not only blended with the sand but also with the sky and mountains, making it difficult for anyone to detect its presence as it perfectly merged with nature. Unless it took the initiative to reveal itself, no one could sense it.

The pressure it exuded was so intense that everyone had to step back.

Shenlian Yingyue’s body appeared too petite in comparison to such a gigantic creature. Unlike the last time, when everyone had anxiously shielded her from danger, this time, they calmly stood by her side and watched as the Glass Lizard Ancestor voiced his dissatisfaction.

The other Glass Lizards had already transformed into their human forms and kneeled before their ancestor.

"You can call us intruders, but hand over the Sunfire Crystals to us. Otherwise, we’ll continue the fight," Xiao Li said, playing nonchalantly with his purple tails.

"We won’t guarantee how much more damage we’ll cause in your region if you refuse to give in," Tian Tian added, his mesmerizing blue eyes glowing with a fierce light, like a wolf ready to strike down his prey.

"You young people possess such sharp tongues. It’s amusing; yet I must say, just hearing your words has already made my blood boil with anger." The Glass Lizard Ancestor chuckled. He glanced at them up and down, gauging their cultivation levels. His descendants were far too weak to deal with these intruders. He had to wake up from his deep cultivation slumber to handle the situation. Otherwise, he couldn’t imagine the consequences of a loss for his clan.

"Senior, we don’t want to fight if it isn’t necessary. We came for the Sunfire Crystals in your region," Shenlian Yingyue said politely, cupping her fists politely.

If she could obtain the Sunfire Crystals, everyone’s cultivation would rise. Half of her companions possessed the Spiritual Root of Fire. Even for those without the fire attribute, absorbing the Sunfire Crystals could significantly benefit their cultivation and physical strength.

"Oh, your companions are arrogant and nonchalant after causing such chaos in my region in order to rob me, and now you come to this old ancestor with such courtesy?" The Glass Lizard Ancestor looked around at the destruction. The ground was full of holes, the trees ruined, and the land scarred. The signs of battle were intense and clear; this had been a fierce conflict.

"Saying that we’re robbing you isn’t correct either, Senior," Shenlian Yingyue replied calmly.

Her companions and Xiong Zi Ying tactically stepped back. They wouldn’t interfere, only ensure that no one dared to play tricks during her battle. This silent understanding amused the Glass Lizards.

"Do you think you can win against me?" the ancestor chuckled.

Shenlian Yingyue observed him closely as Xiao Yun’s voice echoed in her mind:{Master, his cultivation level has reached the early stage of the Mystic Immortal Realm, one realm above yours.}

She nodded. Her own cultivation had been stuck at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm, even after fighting Bu Si Shu for years. For some reason, she hadn’t been able to break through. In a way, it was a blessing in disguise. She had advanced too quickly before, which made both her and her companions concerned about the stability of her foundation. So while she remained at the same level, she sought out strong opponents to test herself against.

The Glass Lizard Ancestor said nothing more and suddenly disappeared from view. His golden scales blended seamlessly into the surroundings, along with his presence.

Even with her divine sense, she could barely detect him.

Then, as if by instinct, she looked up. Her pupils shrank as she swiftly dodged an attack that nearly struck her from above. Before she could catch her breath, the sand around her began swirling like a whirlpool, trying to swallow her whole.
