Chapter 378: Chapter 378 Ancestral Power

The Snake-man Clan Youth Yi Xin, who had been struck, was met with expressions of schadenfreude and scorn-filled words from the surrounding Snake-men onlookers. It was clear that even as a Snake-man, he was not well-regarded within the Snake-man Race.

"Let’s go!" Shi Feng said to Zi Ya.

"Okay," Zi Ya obediently nodded her head, then turned to follow Shi Feng!

"Thinking of leaving just like that?" Just as they turned around, a ferocious and cold voice emerged from behind them: "You hit me! Do you think you can just walk away?"

Hearing those words, Shi Feng had barely taken a few steps before his footsteps halted abruptly. He turned back around to look at Yi Xin, who had now climbed up from the ground, staring at Shi Feng with a fierce expression on his face.

"Brother Shi Feng, just forget about him, he’s always like this, don’t bother with him anymore!" Seeing Shi Feng turn around, his gaze icy as he looked toward Yi Xin, Zi Ya quickly tried to persuade Shi Feng again.

"Bitch! Shut your mouth, you whore! You shameless, faceless, ungrateful bitch!" Although Yi Xin hadn’t heard what Zi Ya was whispering to Shi Feng, just seeing Zi Ya whispering to a human enraged him even more. He believed Zi Ya was definitely discussing unspeakable, lowly things with the Human Clan member.

All kinds of vile words and obscene images of the two flashed through Yi Xin’s mind. "Ah!" Yi Xin, unable to contain his rage, let out a furious roar, entering a frenzied, berserk state.

"It’s you! It’s all of you! You all forced me into this! You’re driving me to madness!" Yi Xin’s head, which had been tilted back, suddenly snapped down, his gaze fierce as he glared at Shi Feng and Zi Ya, his eyes filled with tears, he yelled spitefully: "Zi Ya, bitch! You whore! How could you betray me like this! How could you betray and disappoint me, hurt me like this! You degrade yourself so, you forced my hand, all of you did! If I can’t be at peace, neither will you. Roar!"

As Yi Xin uttered his last sentence, he suddenly roared to the sky, and at that moment, everyone noticed a dramatic change in Yi Xin’s aura.

"This power! What’s going on? How can Yi Xin possess such incredible strength? He’s nothing but garbage at the Nine-star Martial Master Realm! But now, the aura emanating from him makes my heart tremble."

"Haha! Hahaha!" After bellowing to the heavens, Yi Xin burst into laughter, but amidst the laughter, tears continued to stream from his eyes.

And then, everyone saw Yi Xin’s body suddenly swell at an alarming pace, "Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!" The blue clothes on his body were snapped apart by the expanding body beneath, revealing Yi Xin’s bulging muscles.

Immediately after that, people saw clusters of blue scales begin to emerge across Yi Xin’s skin.

"I get it now! I get it now! This is the Forbidden Technique of our Snake-man Race that was lost a thousand years ago, the ancestral power! The Forbidden Technique has a significant flaw; once one regresses to their ancestral form, they lose their Spiritual Wisdom and become beast-like, which led our race to prohibit its cultivation and use thousands of years ago, turning it into a taboo! A thousand years prior, this Secret Technique was destroyed and thus was lost. I never would have imagined that Yi Xin had mastered this Taboo Secret Method."

"Yi Xin is really a fool! Performing this secret technique is no different from committing suicide!"

"Everyone! Let’s run! After the ancestral power takes hold, Yi Xin will become a beast, but the power he acquires will be so great that we can’t even imagine. He’ll kill us all!"

It was then that someone finally raised the alarm. At that reminder, everyone quickly came to their senses and began to flee the area.

"Oh no!" At that moment, a mournful and elderly howl resounded within the night sky, "Yi Xin! What are you doing? Stop, stop using this secret technique! Stop it!" A white figure emerged, it was none other than Kaley, the Priestess of the Snake-man Clan.

As Kaley shouted, a huge blue snake tail illusion suddenly appeared above Yi Xin. The power of a Three-star Martial Ancestor smashed down fiercely towards Yi Xin, whose body was increasingly covered with blue scales.

"Old crone! Mind your own business! Break!" Yi Xin, still undergoing transformation, saw the massive blue snake tail illusion crashing towards him. Clenching his fist, now covered with blue scales, he punched upwards at the descending illusion.

"Boom!" A violent explosion rang out through the night, echoing around. Under Yi Xin’s punch, the wildly descending blue snake tail illusion shattered instantaneously, and Yi Xin himself, under that mad force, his now over three meters tall body, was slammed to the ground.

"Roar!" But the blue scales on Yi Xin’s body were spreading ever more, his roar growing closer to that of a wild beast, and his aura was becoming stronger and stronger.

"Brother Shi Feng! I beg of you to intervene! Help me stop him! Please, Brother Shi Feng!" Feeling the power radiating from Yi Xin and the strength he had just demonstrated, Kaley realized she was powerless to stop him and could only look towards Shi Feng, who was not far off, pleading for help.

"Hmph!" Shi Feng looked at the blue body lying not too far away and snorted coldly. Then, with a flick of his finger, a mysterious white rune was launched by Shi Feng, shooting towards Yi Xin and entering his head.

The figure that had been attempting to prostrate on the ground, emitting roars like a wild beast, instantly quieted down. The body that was trying to get up suddenly seemed to lose all strength and collapsed weakly.

At this moment, that white figure descended from the night sky to the ground, landing next to Yi Xin. The Priestess Kaley, her face filled with panic, quickly crouched down to examine her grandson Yi Xin’s condition.

Then, Shi Feng and Zi Ya also stepped forward, and Shi Feng spoke indifferently, "I have calmed him down for you, putting him into a slumber. As for the rest, I’m afraid I can’t help you. Given the secret technique he used just now, I believe he’s likely to lose his rationality and turn into a wild beast forever. Hmph, anyone who resorts to such a technique is truly foolish beyond belief!"

"Priest Lord... I’m sorry... I’m also responsible for what happened to Yi Xin!" The pure and kind Snake-man Clan Girl Zi Ya looked down at the Priestess, blaming herself.

"Ah! How could I have such a good-for-nothing, brainless grandson!" Kaley lamented, her face filled with sorrow, "Yi Xin, oh Yi Xin, everyone says you’re foolish, but why are you so foolish, so useless! Your father Yiteng was once a famous warrior of our Snake-man Race! How could he have sired such a disappointment!"

On Kaley’s distressed old face, disappointment soon set in, a look of frustration at the failure to meet expectations.
