"Heart Power?" the Purple Fire Divine General murmured. Clearly, it did not yet fully understand the rather mysterious name of Heart Power.

"Yes, Heart Power! This was one of Master Yan Guang's most prized powers. According to him, this power originates from the heart of every living being." Seemingly intrigued, the Lord Mengguang began to explain to the Purple Fire Divine General. "Because it is the manifestation of mental power, it can directly attack the will of a living being! Therefore, soul-type attacks imbued with Heart Power can be effective against those soulless life forms."

"Moreover, physical attacks imbued with Heart Power not only put pressure on the enemy's will, but also increase the power of the attack tenfold! Superior comprehension of the laws, coupled with the boost from Heart Power, this must be the reason why my junior brother was able to kill the Invincible King in a direct confrontation," the Lord Mengguang analyzed to the Purple Fire Divine General.

"I see," the Purple Fire Divine General said with a look of understanding.

"It seems my junior brother already received Master Yan Guang's method for cultivating Heart Power. Now I can understand why the Machine Race completely blocked the news. The emergence of Heart Power is the nemesis of all soulless life forms! I'd be surprised if they weren't panicking." Lord Mengguang laughed. "Little Zihuo, I'm entrusting my junior brother's safety within my Ancestral God Religion to you. We can't let Master Yan Guang's legacy be cut off."

"Huh? My lord, do you mean you don't plan to meet your junior brother?" Purple Fire Divine General, quite puzzled. "You two are the only two inheritors of Lord Yanguang!"

"My identity is too special and conspicuous! If I were to handle these matters personally, it would only create more trouble. Going directly to see him would only harm him!" The Lord Mengguang said solemnly, "You should also secretly warn my junior brother not to be too ostentatious."

"But Lord Shen, it seems it's too late now!" Purple Fire Divine General shook his head with a mournful face, as if explaining to Lord Mengguang, "Because he has a great reputation in the universe. After all, World Lord can kill Invincible King. Although apart from you, other forces don't know his background, he is still human, and to achieve this is still shocking to the universe. So after he came to the Inheritance Land, he was challenged by a large number of inheritors. Just now, this human accepted all the challenges." Purple Fire Divine General said.

"All of them?" The Beast God was also surprised.

"Yes, all the challenges, more than 2,000 battles," said the Purple Fire Divine General.

"Only 2,000 matches? That's not many, is it?" Lord Mengguang, quite puzzled.

"The key issue is that he is currently at the Fifth Level of inheritance, and all the inheritors at this level combined don't exceed 3,000!" said the Purple Fire Divine General. Clearly, the Lord Mengguang was implicitly comparing Lu Yan'an to those at the third level of inheritance.

"The Fifth Level the Beast God Inheritance? Good heavens, no wonder he could kill the Invincible King who possessed such Heavy Treasure! This is already a level of Law Comprehension of a high-level Universe Venerable level. For a World Lord to possess such terrifying Law Comprehension, no wonder those guys were so eager to kill him." Lord Mengguang shook his head.

"Then take a good look and see what the results of these 2,000 battles are. I'm also very curious to know just how far my junior brother, who inherited Master Yan Guang's legacy, can go. His opponents... are peerless Venerable from all over the universe!" said the Lord Mengguang.

A vast, ever-flowing water world!

That strange, water-like monster was staring intently at Lu Yan'an through its cold, compound eyes, emitting a sharp, high-pitched sound a thousand times louder than the screech of glass, "Lu Yan'an, the Illusionary Slayer King! What are your thoughts on this challenge?" Its voice echoed like the roar of ocean waves, reverberating throughout the entire water world.

"I don't really have any ideas. Let's follow the normal challenge rules, one Glory Point per round. But you're honored, because you're my first opponent in the Glory World." Lu Yan'an smiled from mid-air. Even though his Years of cultivation were less than a fraction of the Venerable One before him, his Law Comprehension gave him such confidence.

"The first one? Hahaha, looks like I have something to be happy about. Let's begin then? But 1 Glory Point is indeed a good choice for you, otherwise you might not even have the qualification to accept challenges from others. Hahaha!" This monster, as fluid as water, stared at Lu Yan'an, his words full of provocation.

"Hehe, not just you, I will choose to fight all opponents with 1 Glory Point," Lu Yan'an said.

He wasn't stupid. Although he was absolutely confident that he could defeat all opponents at the Fifth Level the inheritance realm, he was afraid of making a mistake. If he gambled too much from the start and lost, he would lose all his Glory Point and wouldn't be able to fight other opponents.

He's challenged over 2000 matches! But right now he only has 3 Glory Point left. Subtracting the opponent's 1-point tolerance, that leaves him with only 2 Glory Point to gamble on. Even if he gambles 1 Glory Point per match, that's enough. Otherwise, if he loses, he'll be wiped out on the spot.

"Haha, I also want to win your Glory Point so that the other Alien Race inheritors can't fight you. Then, I'll be the only one on the entire Zijing Island who knows your true strength," the monster said smugly.

"Enough talk, let's fight." Lu Yan'an sneered, "You're a High Venerable. In reality, I might have a hard time defeating you, but in this Glory World, you're just a warm-up for me. You want to test my strength? In your next life!"

"Damn it!" After hearing Lu Yan'an's words, the monster Venerable seemed to go crazy, as if he was provoked by Lu Yan'an's statement, "In reality, I might have a hard time defeating you." But it's understandable; hearing a World Lord say such a thing is indeed hard for a High Venerable to accept, especially when it might be true, which makes it even more unbearable.

With a piercing roar, a terrifying aura suddenly soared into the sky, causing the entire sea surface to tremble.

"Very good." Lu Yan'an's eyes lit up, and with a boom, his aura surged violently as he directly burned his Immortal Divine Body. At the same time, his figure swayed slightly, and the Time Fusion Law surged around him. He raised his standard longsword and slashed at the Venerable. As a World Lord powerhouse, this was the first time in this Glory World that he had experienced the joy of Burning Divine Body to attack! Especially considering that his opponent was a High Venerable, he felt even happier.

With the sound of a longsword cutting through the air and the monster's unpleasant Venerable, the battle officially began.

However, just seconds later...

After exchanging blows dozens of times, the monster's Venerable Divine Body was completely annihilated. Clearly, Lu Yan'an's level of mastery over the Fusion Laws far surpassed its own, and it could even be said that this was a one-sided battle!

"How is this possible? Is this still a World Lord? How could he be this strong!" The Venerable's cold, dark eyes were filled with disbelief and rage. It refused to believe that it had lost to a World Lord, that it had lost under the same Divine Body. Then, its figure blurred and disappeared, clearly having been kicked out of the Battle World. Because Lu Yan'an the second battle.

"1 Glory Point acquired." Taking advantage of the interval between the two battles, Lu Yan'an checked the Black Book and indeed found that he had gained 1 Glory Point.

"The first opponent I chose was only at the beginner level on the Fifth Level Inheritor Ranking, pitifully weak!" Lu Yan'an defeated his opponent without even being forced to unleash his full power.

Still standing on the sea.

Lu Yan'an grinned as he looked at the second opponent appearing in the distance. "Another one giving away Glory Point, here I come. Hehe, now that I've assessed my own strength, I might as well be a bit bolder in the next duel!"
