The battle continues.

Meanwhile, the circles of Venerable within the Glory World were in an uproar. Ever since Lu Yan'an accepted the first challenger's invitation, everyone had spontaneously logged into the Glory World, because they had received news that... the King Huanshi had begun a continuous series of challenges. Even the lower-level inheritors who were completely unable to challenge Lu Yan'an still incredibly curious about his basic strength. Everyone wanted to see if this King Huanshi, renowned throughout the universe, would follow in the footsteps of the Zhu Chong Wang.

However, things weren't as simple as they thought. "What? Venerable Zhuochen actually lost to that Illusion King? How is that possible? That Illusion King, Lu Yan'an, is a Realm Lord! He doesn't have any treasures to use in the battle worlds under the Glory World! Even the weapons provided by the system are standard-issue weapons. How could he still lose under these circumstances?"

"Wait, we can't be too reckless now! The fact that the King Huanshi was able to reach the Fifth Level of inheritance proves that he still has strength. It's just that we don't know if those challengers have really figured out his strength."

At the beginning, the two Alien Race powerhouses who lost in succession were ridiculed by other inheritors in their respective circles. Although they were being ridiculed, the other inheritors also became wary, because they knew their partner's strength.

If it were just the initial Venerable Zhuochen, it wouldn't be so bad, as he had only just broken through to the Fifth Level the inheritance. But the second challenger, Venerable Zhuyue, was a true veteran Venerable! He had immersed himself in the Fifth Level of the Beast God Inheritance for countless Years, and his Law Comprehension had reached an unimaginable level. Yet even he couldn't last more than a few seconds against this King Huanshi. And that's quite interesting!

The news of the two who initially lost consecutively only spread within their respective circles; the other inheritors hadn't yet realized anything.

But...

Lu Yan'an's battle speed was incredibly fast, because his Divine Body would fully recover after each battle in the Battle World, so Lu Yan'an never needed to rest.

He fought 1000 battles in a row, which took about 58 hours. After that, Lu Yan'an temporarily stopped fighting and decided to rest. After all, he wasn't a masochist. Although fighting a thousand battles in a row wouldn't cause any physical harm, the mental strain was terrifying. Even though Lu Yan'an's mental Heart Power was constantly circulating to help him alleviate mental fatigue, human strength has its limits and cannot work indefinitely.

"1000 battles, nearly 58 hours. Well, actually, each battle itself took less than a minute to fight. It was the initiation of each battle in the Battle World and the dialogue between them that took up some time," Lu Yan'an thought to himself. Fortunately, Lu Yan'an was usually too lazy to talk much and just said a dry opening line as a greeting. If he had really talked to those talkative Venerable, it probably wouldn't have been enough time even for a month.

After resting for a full week and completely relaxing his mind, Lu Yan'an chose to continue the second phase of the battle.

Lu Yan'an's battle record was something the other Alien Race inheritors could find out simply by looking at the Black Book. The list of the Fifth Level inheritors in the Black Book clearly stated xx wins and xx losses.

The first phase consists of 1000 battles. After that, you'll rest, and the second phase will begin the following week!

And so it continues.

Lu Yan'an's Glory Point also soared at an extremely rapid pace, leaving countless Alien Race inheritors dumbfounded, especially with his 100% win rate... This proved that the King Huanshi clearly belonged to the small elite among the 3,000 fifth-level inheritors. This made many Alien Race inheritors who wanted to investigate the King Huanshi regret their decision. Unfortunately, they had already sent out challenge letters, and Lu Yan'an had already accepted the challenge, so they could not back out.

Even if you don't fight, it will be considered an automatic forfeit, and you will still lose 1 Glory Point.

The second phase will be far more difficult than the first phase!

In the open-air plaza of the Glory World, tens of millions of inheritors gathered there, often flipping through the Black Book to see Lu Yan'an's battle record on the Triple Inheritor Ranking.

"1304 wins, 0 losses"

This is the latest battle record. Today is the third day of Lu Yan'an's second week of challenges, and things have entered a heated phase. Lu Yan'an's opponents now are no longer the ordinary Venerable who couldn't even last a minute in a single exchange.

"How can this King Huanshi be so powerful? It seems I'll have to lose one Glory Point. This guy is truly terrifying. Is this something even World Lord could do? Look at this King Huanshi, he's only been here a few days and he's already accumulated enough Glory Point for 13 inheritances."

In the Glory World, each newcomer starts with 3 Glory Point, and the minimum wager for each battle is 1 Glory Point... You must first send a challenge letter to someone, and only if that person accepts will the battle proceed. Through battles, you accumulate Glory Point, and once you reach 100 Glory Point, you can exchange them for a chance to inherit your legacy.

You start with three Glory Point. Once you lose them all, you have to wait an entire epoch to gain a new Glory Point. After gaining a new Glory Point, you can fight again. If you lose again, you still have to wait an entire epoch to gain a new Glory Point. If you lose all your Glory Points three times, the fourth time you'll need an entire epoch to gain one more Glory Point. If you lose all your Glory Points three more times, the seventh time you'll need 100 million epochs to gain one more Glory Point. The difficulty of acquiring Glory Point increases exponentially with each loss!

"Stop talking, I have to give him my Glory Point too. Who knew this human would be so strong? Sigh!" A powerful Alien Race being, resembling a sea monster with dozens of tentacles, looked quite unwilling. "But there's good news too. This guy is taking longer and longer to survive a battle. Judging from this, his understanding of the laws is almost at its limit!"

"Now we'll see whether his understanding of the laws is at a higher limit, or our understanding of the Beast God Inheritance is deeper!"

"Previously, I disdained to attack a World Lord! Even though he had reached the Fifth Level of the Beast God Inheritance, in my eyes, a high-level Venerable with any sense of shame should never challenge a World Lord to gain an advantage. But I still didn't expect that the allure of a Supreme Treasure would be so great, that so many Venerable would be willing to abandon their dignity to attack a World Lord! Now it seems that not having any delusional thoughts is indeed a good thing!"

The open-air plaza was almost entirely filled with conversations about the King Huanshi.

He was provoked!

Seeing Lu Yan'an maintain an undefeated record, and with that record continuing to climb, these inheritors felt utterly ashamed of their hard-earned Glory Point. If the King Huanshi had been thoroughly investigated in the Battle World from the beginning, then it would have been impossible for so many inheritors to give away Glory Point.

It's important to understand that all inheritors cherish their Glory Point, especially those at the Fifth Level of inheritance! Their numbers are already quite small, only around 3,000. Even with only 3,000 people, it would take a long time to gather enough Glory Points for a single inheritance. They couldn't possibly have accumulated so many Glory Point as easily as Lu Yan'an. But now it's too late for them to regret it.

"I'm afraid there's no one else who can earn such a huge amount of Glory Point like the King Huanshi when inheriting the Fifth Level, right?" Many Fifth Level inheritors sighed in this way.

To be like Lu Yan'an.

First, one needs to have a reputation known to billions of races in the universe, and then one needs to use means to completely ignite that reputation, even though that reputation might ultimately put one in danger.

Secondly, the strength cannot be too great; ideally, one should be World Lord. Otherwise, those Alien Race inheritors wouldn't easily challenge them. They're not stupid; only when facing World Lord inheritor would these peerless geniuses believe they're guaranteed victory. This is especially true among the Venerable pride never allows them to believe they could lose to a mere Realm World Lord on equal footing!

It should be noted that Lu Yan'an was indeed not the only World Lord to come to the Inheritance Land in the history of the Ancestral God Religion, but he was extremely rare. Among those World Lords, two were extremely famous, but none of them had a heaven-defying will like Lu Yan'an.

After this battle, Lu Yan'an completely won over the countless inheritors on Zijing Island. They were convinced! In a battle within Battle World without any external conditions, a World Lord was able to stand at the very top of the Fifth Level inheritors. They were convinced!
