The King Beast Graveyard

"Just tell me, what is it?" Old Wang asked again.

"Actually, it's not a Hard thing. I was just joking."

All we need is for Thousand King to do us a small favor and complete a small test when he goes to retrieve the King's Core!

"Of course, this isn't entirely for our benefit. If you don't participate in this trial, you certainly won't be able to obtain the King's Core," he said in a low voice.

"A test? Isn't it supposed to be taken there?" Old Wang said.

"Of course not, let's go and talk about it first!"

While they were talking in secret, they opened a spatial portal and led Old Wang inside.

After a dizzying spin, the two found themselves on a cliff face with a huge pile of white bones in front of them.

These skeletons were strangely shaped, but the only thing they had in common was their enormous size.

Take, for example, this unnamed rib in front of them; its height is almost as high as the mountain peak that pierces the clouds beneath their feet.

As Old Wang was staring in awe at what was happening before him, the mountain beneath his feet began to tremble. Then, a terrifying head with pupils larger than his own emerged from the clouds, looking down at the two people on the mountain.

This is a huge, azure-blue dragon... no, it should be a snake's head.

Judging from his condition and his white beard, he was extremely old.

Old Wang instinctively wanted to summon his Mecha, but was stopped by An beside him.

Just then, a voice as loud as a thunderclap rang out. "What are you doing here again?"

If Old Wang hadn't undergone several enhancements, that sound would have been enough to make him bleed from all seven orifices; fortunately, his physical condition is now strong enough.

Old Wang glanced at An subconsciously; this guy had never mentioned anything like this.

It seems he's not entirely innocent either!

If An knew what Old Wang was thinking, he would definitely cry foul, saying that he was simply used to dealing with Giant Beast for hundreds of years.

"Greetings, Serpent King. I recommend my friend to participate in the trial. Please inform the other kings!" (Dark)

"Why are you swearing at people? No, at animals?" Old Wang thought to himself.

"Uh... Thousand King, this isn't the place for such jokes!" (in a low voice).

"Hahaha! That's right, calling them a few Old Wang turtles wouldn't be wrong. Kid, I'm rooting for you!"

After hearing this, the Giant Serpent burst into laughter, and its laughter shook the mountain beneath Old Wang's feet.

After laughing, it disappeared from their sight, clearly going to find its companions.

"Explain yourself," Old Wang asked after the Giant Serpent disappeared.

"This Giant Serpent is here to die. These King Beast come here hundreds of years in advance to avoid dying outside."

The trials I'm referring to are the inheritance trials of these King Beasts. According to them, humans were also members of this King Beast Alliance in Ancient Era.

However, the emergence of Mana Mech led humanity down a completely different path.

"Since its existence, Dark Night has always wanted to reclaim humanity's legacy, but unfortunately, countless years have passed, and it has never succeeded!" Dark Night explained.

"That's not what I was asking... Wait, do you mean you want me to receive the inheritance?"

"After I receive the inheritance, will I grow to the size of those Giant Beasts?" Old Wang asked hesitantly.

But thinking about it, it's actually pretty exciting!

"Uh... those Giant Beast didn't become so big because of inheritance; they were born as a giant race."

Because most of them are Giant Beast that live in the Starry Sky, and without such a size, they could not withstand the harsh environment of space."

An said with a hint of helplessness, then added, "You don't need to worry too much about these things, because the inheritance test is really difficult, and you may not be able to pass it."

"If I fail, will I still be able to obtain the King's Core?" Old Wang asked.

"The King's Core is just a souvenir in the Inheritance Grounds. As long as you don't go too far, they won't say anything if you bring one back as a consolation prize," Dark said.

"That's good!"

As long as we can obtain the materials, whether or not the tradition is passed down is not important.

So what if he inherits the legacy? Does he think he can traverse the Starry Sky in a human body?

The Giant Serpent returned quickly, then allowed Old Wang and An to ride on its back, heading towards the trial grounds.

Old Wang also saw the "Old Wang turtles" it mentioned, all of which were old, Giant Beast.

There were four Giant Beasts in total, including the Giant Serpent; the other three were a Lion, an eagle, and a tortoise.

However, they only resemble these animals in appearance. Have you ever seen Lion tens of thousands of meters tall, covered in scales, and with several tails?

"This is the one who will face the test? He looks rather thin!" the Lion said.

He and the Giant Serpent shared one characteristic: they both spoke with exceptionally loud voices.

"Let me tell you, this young man is absolutely the smartest I've ever seen. He definitely has a chance to inherit the legacy. I have high hopes for him!" the Giant Serpent said.

"Hmm! It looks alright, and it doesn't seem to have the desires of those people, so it's not bad!" the Giant Eagle said.

These Giant Beast, whose lifespan was unknown, exuded a terrifying aura. Old Wang was alright with just one Giant Serpent, but with several of them together, Old Wang found it difficult to resist.

They started chatting right in front of Old Wang, giving Old Wang the same feeling he had when he went to the zoo to see animals, only the roles of humans and animals were reversed.

These creatures were clearly about to die, but Old Wang couldn't see the slightest fear of death in them.

Their momentum remained strong, like several creatures in their prime.

Their imposing presence was so overwhelming that even Ying found it hard to bear, let alone Old Wang.

This isn't to say that Ying is weaker than them, but rather that his and Old Wang's skills lie entirely in their Mecha, and it would indeed be difficult for them to adapt using only human bodies.

"Gentlemen, let's begin!" Ying said with some difficulty. Old Wang was about to go in for the assessment, and he would have to wait here for a long time.

If he delays too long, he might embarrass himself. Although this isn't the first time he's embarrassed himself, who likes to be embarrassed?

Upon hearing this, the Giant Beast smiled and looked at him, then didn't make things difficult for him. Instead, they all worked together to open a Spatial Teleportation for Old Wang.

It seems that the assessment is not in this space, but in another time and space.

"Go in, young man. But whatever you do inside, don't summon your so-called Mecha, and don't be too greedy!" the Giant Serpent said.

Old Wang nodded to him and stepped inside.

"That's amazing!"

Old Wang said sincerely after entering this place of trial.

He wasn't referring to the difficulty of the trial grounds, but rather the Spatial Teleportation abilities of the several Giant Beasts.

This is the only teleportation technology that allows Old Wang to reach his destination without feeling anything; even human teleportation Grand Array cannot compare.

"Perhaps I can ask them for advice after we get out, but for now, let's take a look at this assessment!"

Neither the content of the assessment, whether it was the number of Giant Beast or the darkness, was mentioned at all, so Old Wang could only rely on his own exploration.

However, his purpose in coming in was not for the test, but for the King's Core Materials.

He implied that the King's Core was a souvenir, but Old Wang didn't believe him at all.

He had been walking in this foggy place for five minutes, and had seen two Legendary Core Heart, but hadn't seen a single King's Core.

"Where exactly is this thing?" Old Wang asked, looking around somewhat dejectedly.

Old Wang was about to give up; wandering around in this unchanging environment was simply torture.

Just as he was about to enter a foreign land, a unique white mountain appeared before him.

Old Wang examined it carefully and realized that this wasn't a mountain at all; it was a gigantic skull!

Old Wang couldn't tell what kind of animal it was; he didn't have that kind of knowledge.

After Old Wang entered the animal's skull through the missing teeth, he finally saw what he had been longing for: the King's Core.

This was a stone even larger than him, and its attributes clearly stated the words "King's Core".

After Old Wang put him away in his Spatial Backpack, he finally wandered around this misty world without any desires.

Perhaps because he had lost his ambition, or perhaps because some condition was triggered, he quickly developed a palace.

On the Status Recovery Stone at the palace entrance, the words "Human Inheritance Trial Site" are written in modern Chinese.

"It's even in bold!!"

It has absolutely no class!

Looking at the Status Recovery Stone full of flaws, Old Wang suddenly didn't want to participate in the assessment anymore; it was really beneath him!
