Stop!

A rapidly shrinking Aurora suddenly flew by, startling Lu Yan'an. He was about to dodge when he suddenly remembered a similar situation in the original story. It seemed to be a message left by the powerful person who left the treasure for its owner.

Upon realizing this, Lu Yan'an gradually calmed down. Even though the surrounding space seemed to freeze under the power of the Aurora, he remained completely unperturbed. The Aurora moved with lightning speed, one end of it gently touching Lu Yan'an's head.

"Huh?" Lu Yan'an stood there, stunned.

Boom!

The Moonlight Stone, which had been floating, suddenly fell into the hole, returning to its previous position atop the mountain peak. It seemed this Moonlight Stone, worth hundreds of billions of Hunyuan Unit, was only meant to be seen and not taken away at will. But having already acquired two High-level Supreme Treasure, a little scrap wouldn't make a difference.

The thousands of Aurora that had originally circled the entire mountain peak suddenly stopped, shooting into the sky and quickly flying back into the vast Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

"Look, that human is coming out. Wow, how lucky he is!"

"How come Human Race get all the good things?"

"That's one of the top 20 treasures! He just got his hands on it like that. I'm so jealous! As far as I know, there's never been a precedent for opening one of the top 20 treasures before. I wonder what kind of treasures are inside?"

"Even the lowest-ranked treasure possesses a value comparable to Ordinary Supreme Treasure, so the top twenty are truly unimaginable!"

"A defensive Supreme Treasure? An offensive Supreme Treasure?"

"Or is it the most precious Soul-type Supreme Treasure?"

Who knows?

The countless inheritors watching from afar Lu Yan'an obtained the treasure were all curious and speculating, but none of them could see it. This was thanks to the excellent secrecy measures taken by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake; if the value of the treasure were made public, even the Universe Master might personally intervene to kill and plunder it!

Lu Yan'an glanced around at the distance, then Teleportation to a canyon far away in the Treasure Land.

The canyon was utterly tranquil.

Alone here, Lu Yan'an murmured, "Yan Guang?"

The moment the Aurora touched his head, it transmitted a message, unsurprisingly a message from the treasure's placer to the future inheritor.

A free and unrestrained voice was speaking. And the owner of this voice was very familiar to Lu Yan'an; it was none other Lord Yanguang on Mingguang Star! Or perhaps it would be more appropriate to call him by another name—"Heart Sword Emperor"!

"In this life, I am Natural Beast God. Since the birth of the universe, I have been all alone and have never had any close friends. Only the Ancestral God Religion has given me a lot of help since its inception. Now that the Ancestral God Religion has suddenly created such a Treasure Land, I have to come and lend a hand and leave something of value inside!"

"World Lord walks the Path of Time Fusion, and at least at the fourth level of the Beast God Inheritance —to meet these conditions, I consider you a rare genius. Hahaha, if you can satisfy my conditions, you are qualified to obtain these two treasures."

"Remember this: Supreme Treasure are precious, but the power of the mind is limitless... Perhaps the key to transcendence lies within them!"

It's a very simple message, but it contains an enormous amount of information.

"This treasure ranked 13th was also left behind by the Lord Yanguang?" Lu Yan'an had received the Heart Power cultivation method left behind by the Lord Yanguang in the inheritance of Mingguang Star 100,000 years ago. Now, hearing that familiar voice again in the Ancestral God Religion, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. He already knew that this senior who had given him great help had fallen forever!

"I hope this senior can reincarnate again! This Natural Beast God identity is truly..." Lu Yan'an sighed inwardly. He was certain that if this senior hadn't been so incredibly unlucky to be reincarnated as Natural Beast God, this universe would have a new Holy Land Universe. But alas, he truly was a Natural Beast God...

Beast God are also divided into Acquired Beast God and Natural Beast God. Those who eventually comprehend the entire Way of the Beast God through cultivation and inherit the position of Beast God are considered normal Beast God. However, when the universe was born, some "Beast God" were born as the Universe Master and were themselves the embodiment of the Fusion Laws.

Although it is Natural Beast God, possessing extremely powerful strength from birth, it is destined to be besieged and hunted. It must be understood that this naturally born Natural Beast God is different from Acquired Beast God; it is born from the essence of the universe, a natural treasure. Its scales, its fur, its blood—all possess extraordinary effects, far more precious than thousands upon thousands of ordinary Supreme Treasure. Therefore, the siege of Natural Beast God is a grand feast, a feast for numerous super beings.

Since the first Natural Beast God perished, revealing to all races of the universe the many wondrous uses of Natural Beast God after their death, other Natural Beast God are destined to be besieged. No matter how powerful they are, facing such an attack, or even attacks from some of the most powerful beings in the universe, unless they permanently hide, their demise is almost inevitable.

After lamenting the predetermined fate of the Natural Beast God in a secluded canyon within the Treasure Land, Lu Yan'an was quickly discovered by some inheritors. However, Lu Yan'an remained unperturbed, continuing to wander through the Treasure Land, determined to explore the entire Treasure Land and perhaps find another treasure. Although the original work described that one could only obtain a treasure once, that conclusion was based on the specific conditions for opening the treasure; the actual situation was not so certain!

Moreover, this treasure hunt doesn't require much effort. Apart from having to endure the greedy gazes of those Alien Race, everything else is fine. After all, under the cover of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, there really aren't any Alien Race that dare to attack him without fear of death!

Just half an hour after Lu Yan'an obtained the 13th ranked treasure, he was wandering around the Treasure Land.

"Illusion!" A figure flew directly over.

Lu Yan'an looked up and saw that the person who had come was King Tianyu.

"King Tianyu," Lu Yan'an replied with a smile and a nod.

"Congratulations, congratulations! Alas, I still don't have that luck! When that treasure was opened just now, I thought it was only because of my arrival..." King Tianyu suppressed his complicated feelings, "Congratulations."

The two of them arrived at the 13th highest peak together, both visiting this place for the first time. Yet, only Lu Yan'an obtained the treasure. Who could accept that? Most people probably wouldn't have the courage to stay here any longer. However, King Tianyu was only disappointed for a while at first before quickly adjusting his mindset, which shows his strong inner strength.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan'an could only smile. At this moment, anything he said in front of King Tianyu would be suspected of showing off, so it was more sensible to remain silent.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go quickly! You're being watched by those Alien Race Venerable now, if we're too late, more trouble will arise." Although King Tianyu had mixed feelings, he was still a member of the human race. After confirming that Lu Yan'an had obtained the treasure, although his mood was somewhat complicated, he was still quite worried about Lu Yan'an's safety. So he immediately used his connections to find Lu Yan'an's location.

"Oh, okay!" Seeing King Tianyu's expression, Lu Yan'an felt a little embarrassed to refuse his kindness. In addition, he hadn't met the requirements for the Glory World Challenge on the 106th Peak Treasure, so he decided to go with King Tianyu. However, things didn't go as planned. Just as the two were about to Teleportation away, two auras rushed towards them from afar!

It looks like they're heading straight for Lu Yan'an!

"Boom!" Two towering figures pierced through the air, swooping straight down towards the mountain where Lu Yan'an and King Tianyu were located.
