Meanwhile, inside the Chaos City Lord's Divine Hall.
The Chaos City Lord had naturally learned that many races had placed bounties on Yan Ning.
He didn't care much about any of that. With his Black Hole Clone and the Treasure Golden Feather had just exchanged for him, Yan Ning's ability to stay alive was extraordinary.
He was practically impossible to kill.
The only one who particularly concerned him was Emperor Yan!
"Emperor Yan actually threatened Yan Ning in person?"
His brow furrowed slightly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"It seems the Yan God Clan can't sit still any longer."
The Chaos City Lord pondered for a moment, then sent a message to Golden Feather Venerable.
"Golden Feather, the Human Race will give Yan Ning its full support."
"If Emperor Yan dares to make a move... the Human Race won't stand by and do nothing!"
Yan Ning was the only member of the Yan God Clan currently living among the Human Race. If Emperor Yan killed him—
That would be a blatant slap in the Human Race's face.
Two months later, deep within Chaos City.
Golden Feather Venerable was meditating in his palace when a gentle yet authoritative voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Golden Feather, the items are here. Come and collect them."
Golden Feather Venerable's eyes snapped open. His golden wings trembled slightly, and a glimmer of delight flashed in his eyes. He vanished from the spot in an instant.
Inside the Chaos City Lord's Divine Hall.
Golden Feather Venerable bowed respectfully. "My lord."
The Chaos City Lord nodded slightly and waved his hand. Two items appeared, floating in the air. The first was a deep-red token covered in a carving of a roaring Beast God, emanating an ancient and imposing aura.
The Beast God Inheritance Token!
The second was a pitch-black crystal covered in mysterious markings, with faint ripples of soul energy flowing through it.
An ordinary Soul Defense Supreme Treasure—the Soul-Calming Crystal!
The Chaos City Lord said calmly, "The Beast God Inheritance Token was specially approved by the Human Race. You don't need to exchange for it. As for the Soul-Calming Crystal, the Human Race won't ask you to pay its full price. Ten Treasure Points will do. The rest is the Human Race's contribution. The Human Race naturally has to show its support for a talent like him."
Golden Feather Venerable's heart trembled.
Ten Treasure Points!
That was nearly his entire fortune, accumulated over countless eras!
But he accepted both treasures without hesitation and said solemnly, "Thank you, my lord!"
The Chaos City Lord glanced at him, then said meaningfully, "Yan Ning's talent is worth the Human Race's full investment. However... you should warn him to be careful of Emperor Yan."
A cold glint flashed in Golden Feather Venerable's eyes. "Rest assured, my lord. If Emperor Yan dares to lay a hand on my disciple, I, Golden Feather, will make him pay—even if it costs me my life!"
The Chaos City Lord nodded slightly. "Go."
After returning to his palace, Golden Feather Venerable immediately sent Yan Ning a message through the Virtual Universe. "Disciple, come to my main hall at once."
Yan Ning was in his cultivation room, comprehending the Seven Absolute Burial Heavens, when he received the message. His brow lifted. "My master wants to see me?"
He immediately stood and flew toward Golden Feather Venerable's main hall.
A moment later, Yan Ning entered the hall and bowed respectfully. "Master, you wanted to see me?"
Golden Feather Venerable smiled and waved his hand. The hall's restrictions activated instantly, blocking all attempts to probe inside.
"Come here, disciple."
Yan Ning walked closer, puzzled. "Master, what's so important?"
Golden Feather Venerable smiled faintly and produced two items with a flip of his hand.
A crimson Beast God Inheritance Token!
A pitch-black Soul-Calming Crystal!
"This..."
Yan Ning's pupils contracted, and his breath caught for a moment.
He recognized the first item at a glance. It was the Beast God Inheritance Token!
With this token, he could enter the Ancestral God Sect and receive the Beast God Inheritance!
His Fire-Void Fusion Law and the Beast God Path—now he had a way forward!
He couldn't tell what the other item was, but he knew it was a Treasure!
Without a doubt, a Treasure!
Either one of these items would drive countless powerful warriors across the universe into a frenzy.
"Master, this..."
For a moment, Yan Ning didn't know what to say.
Golden Feather Venerable smiled. "The Beast God Inheritance Token will let you go to the Ancestral God Sect and study the Beast God Path. It'll greatly benefit your cultivation of the Beast God Path."
"As for this Soul-Calming Crystal..."
His gaze turned profound.
"An ordinary Soul Defense Supreme Treasure. It can withstand Soul Attacks from a Universe Overlord! It'll give you plenty of time to self-destruct. From now on, even your last weakness has been covered!"
Yan Ning drew a deep breath, his heart shaken.
He knew the value of these two treasures. The Beast God Inheritance Token was one thing; given his talent, the Human Race might grant it to him.
But a Soul Defense Supreme Treasure? Even many Universe Venerables coveted such a treasure!
"Master, this Treasure..."
Yan Ning's voice was low.
"It must have cost you a lot, right?"
Golden Feather Venerable waved his hand and smiled casually. "It was only ten Treasure Points. I had no use for them anyway."
Ten Treasure Points!
Yan Ning's heart jolted.
That was nearly all of Golden Feather Venerable's savings from countless eras!
"Master..." Yan Ning's voice caught. For a moment, he didn't know how to express his gratitude.
Golden Feather Venerable patted his shoulder and smiled. "Take them. The stronger you become, the happier I'll be."
Yan Ning took a deep breath, accepted both treasures solemnly, and said in a low voice, "Disciple... I won't let you down!"
Golden Feather Venerable nodded with satisfaction. "Go. Refine the Soul-Calming Crystal, then prepare to head to the Ancestral God Sect."
Yan Ning nodded firmly, his eyes burning with fierce determination.
With these two treasures, his strength would soar once more!
Although he didn't need the Soul-Calming Crystal, he accepted it anyway.
One day, he would give his master a Treasure a thousand or ten thousand times better in return.
That same day.
Yan Ning set off immediately, leaving Chaos City aboard a spacecraft. He reached the Original Secret Realm that very day.
The designated teleportation point for reaching the Inheritance Land was inside the Original Secret Realm.
He arrived at this vast expanse of land floating in the void.
He would have to use Divine Kingdom Teleportation here.
Unfortunately, even the nearest coordinate to the Inheritance Land was more than five billion light-years away. He could only teleport there first, then continue by spacecraft.
He had only just flown out of the spacecraft—
when he caught the attention of quite a few Human Race powerhouses.
"Look, it's Demon Flame King!"
"Demon Flame King is back? Wasn't he at Star Tower?"
"You idiot. He got the Sealing Star there two thousand years ago. Why would he keep hanging around that godforsaken place?"
"Tsk, tsk, Sealed King Invincible, with a divine body a hundred thousand kilometers tall. I can't help but envy him. If only I had a divine body that big..."
Everyone began discussing Yan Ning as soon as they saw him. Their voices were low, but none of those present were ordinary people.
They could all hear every word.
"Looks like I'm pretty famous now."
That was still within expectations.
After the battle at Star Tower, his name had spread across the universe.
And on top of that, rumors claimed he had a precious Domain Type Treasure protecting him.
His reputation had only grown.
Never mind.
"Divine Kingdom Teleportation!"
Whoosh!
A radiant gate opened, and a passage appeared.
At the other end of the passage lay Duck Meat Divine Kingdom.
Whoosh! His figure vanished in an instant.
Soon, he arrived at a place unimaginably far from the Human Territory.
"Now I'll have to fly the rest of the way myself."
