256: Mirror Ancestor!

The classification of bloodline strength varies among the Eight Clans, with each clan having its own judgment standards.

For example, the Xiao Clan uses stars for classification, the Ming Clan uses marks, the Spirit Clan uses patterns, and the Jiu Clan uses…

As for their Mirror Clan, the cultivation technique they practice is the «Myriad Reflection to Mirror Illumination Art» ( The Secret of the Mirror of All Reflections).

Its characteristic is that upon awakening the bloodline, an octahedron will appear within the body.

However, when first awakened, the surface of this octahedron is extremely rough.

Only by cultivating the technique to the corresponding realm can one polish the octahedron.

With each major cultivation realm breakthrough, one can attempt to polish one face.

Therefore, their Mirror Clan judges the bloodline level by how many faces can be polished under normal growth, at most.

The minimum is one face, and the maximum is eight faces.

Currently, their Mirror Clan has not seen an eight-faced bloodline genius for a long time.

As the Clan Head, Mirror Xuan naturally possesses an eight-faced bloodline, and he has polished all eight faces.

But besides him, among the younger generation of the Mirror Clan, an eight-faced genius has not appeared for a long time.

The Mirror Clan's seven-faced bloodline is equivalent to the Xiao Clan's Six-Star Bloodline.

Their eight-faced bloodline is equivalent to the Xiao Clan's Seven-Star Bloodline.

The Mirror Clan's cultivation technique, in terms of bloodline development, is second only to the Ming Clan.

Two hundred thousand years ago, their Mirror Clan was once the first among the Eight Clans!

But now, the bloodline is withering, becoming increasingly decadent.

Even the number of ordinary seven-faced bloodlines appearing is becoming fewer and fewer.

Therefore, even if only a few more seven-faced bloodlines appeared this time, it made Mirror Xuan incredibly excited.

Soon, the Mirror Clan's bloodline awakening ceremony ended.

Mirror Xuan happily stepped down and personally stood with the children who had awakened their bloodlines this time.

Just as Mirror Xuan was about to speak, planning to encourage them.

Suddenly, the sky changed, and in an instant, dark clouds gathered, turning day into night.

The sky changed so quickly, and it was directly above his Mirror Clan's territory.

No matter how he looked at it, it was not a normal occurrence.

How could he, a dignified Piming Realm eighth-level expert, not see this?

With such a situation, Mirror Xuan's expression also turned grim.

Clearly, someone had come to cause trouble.

However, he was not overly flustered; the Mirror Ancestor's remnant soul was still present.

If all else failed, they could still summon the Ancestor.

With such a method, even the strongest Xiao Clan among the Eight Clans couldn't do anything to them.

However, such a method could almost be said to be their last trump card.

That was their Xiao Clan's final safeguard; they would never use it unless absolutely necessary.

For this, even paying a painful price was not unacceptable.

Mirror Xuan slowly exhaled, "Which of the Eight Clans has arrived?

My Mirror Clan has always been stable and low-key; we have never offended any of the Eight Clans.

May I ask, what is your purpose in coming today?"

In Mirror Xuan's understanding, throughout the entire Sky Dome Continent, those with the courage and strength to come to their Mirror Clan.

Could only be one of the other Eight Clans.

Moreover, it would definitely have to be one of the top-ranked among the Eight Clans.

He just didn't know if it was the Xiao Clan or the Ming Clan…

Then, covertly, he gently crushed a token in his hand.

This token was used by the lower-ranked clans among the Eight Clans to band together for warmth.

When one party is in trouble, all sides provide support, as their strength is not that great.

Once something happened, it wasn't something they could handle as a single clan.

Thus, an alliance was formed.

For stronger clans like the Xiao Clan and the Ming Clan, Mirror Xuan chose not to notify them.

The people who came this time were most likely one of those two clans.

Notifying them directly might alert them.

Now, he would just wait until the people from the other clans arrived…

"Hahaha, old man Jing, you don't need to try; that token in your hand is useless.

No matter what happens here today, it won't be able to get out.

Also, let me tell you something else: the Xuan Clan has already been exterminated by us.

Guess what? Did their Clan Head, Xuan Ji, use that token?

And guess again, did you receive any news?"

The token is useless!

Hearing this, Mirror Xuan's pupils constricted. This was something they, several clans, had jointly created.

The items were only in the hands of their respective Clan Heads; it could be said they had never been exposed.

And they were all connected to each other; since they were made, they had never been used, so how could it be so easily broken?

But what the other party said made Mirror Xuan even more apprehensive.

The Xuan Clan had actually been exterminated by the other party.

Had already been exterminated by the other party.

Exterminated by the other party.

Exterminated.

This sentence echoed in Mirror Xuan's mind, making him utterly disbelieving.

The next moment, Mirror Xuan suddenly realized that this was truly a catastrophe of clan extermination.

So, without hesitation, he immediately prepared to summon the Ancestor.

At this moment, only summoning the Ancestor could cope with the current situation.

Light burst forth from his hand, and immediately the Mirror Clan's giant stone statue cracked open.

A clear light shot up into the sky, and the stone statue exploded.

It rushed into the sky, transforming into the upper body phantom of a young man that almost occupied half the sky.

Mirror Ancestor!

After the Mirror Ancestor appeared, his gaze swept across the scene.

Finally, he locked onto a certain void in the field and pointed a finger.

"Ah!"

A scream rang out, then abruptly stopped.

In that void, no figure appeared, only a blood mist slowly dissipating.

"Go!"

"Retreat!"

Frightened voices rang out in the field, no longer possessing the arrogance and haughtiness they had when they first arrived and made threats.

However, it was too late to leave now.

The Mirror Ancestor's phantom, which occupied half the sky, waved his hand, and a clear light instantly enveloped the entire space.

Those still in the field at this moment could no longer use spatial power for teleportation or movement.

After trapping all the invaders, the Mirror Ancestor formally made his move.

With each strike from the Mirror Ancestor, continuous screams echoed from various parts of the field.

With every blow from the Mirror Ancestor, a blood mist appeared in one spot.

Accompanied by one or several terrified screams.

After several strikes, the Mirror Ancestor gradually seemed to grow tired of it.

Not wanting to play these boring games anymore, he decided to wipe them all out in one go.

So, in front of the Mirror Ancestor, an octahedron appeared, with each face like a mirror.

The octahedron began to rotate in the sky, emitting beams of light.

Each beam of light seemed to accurately pinpoint the location of the invaders.

Thus, continuous screams rang out in the field.

…

Soon, all the invaders were annihilated by the Mirror Ancestor.

After doing all this, the Mirror Ancestor looked down.

Mirror Xuan led the Mirror Clan members in a bow to the Mirror Ancestor, "Thank you, Ancestor!"

The Mirror Ancestor slowly nodded and dissipated into the air.

Mirror Xuan, on the other hand, was somewhat in a trance.

All the invaders were dealt with before they even had a chance to reveal their identities.

This was… too easy, wasn't it?

If it was so easy, then why was the Xuan Clan exterminated earlier?

Didn't they, perhaps, summon their Ancestor?

…
