Yan Ning was still somewhat dazed after being expelled by the black mist, the images of that mysterious power guiding him through the Fire Void Law within the Inheritance Land still echoing in his mind.

"So this is the wonder of the Beast God Inheritance..."

He looked down at his own palm, his fingertip twitching slightly. A wisp of crimson-gold flame materialized out of thin air, and the space around the flame twisted faintly, as if it might be burned to nothing at any moment.

"The Fire-Void Fusion Law is truly profound!"

In just this short moment, he felt that all his years of cultivation were inferior to this brief span.

A flicker of excitement flashed in Yan Ning's eyes. He could clearly sense that his comprehension of the Fire Void Law was now several times deeper than before!

"I've fully received the Third Inheritance, but to thoroughly understand it, I still need time to digest."

He wasted no more time. His figure flickered, transforming into a streak of light as he swiftly returned to his manor palace.

Inside the palace, Yan Ning sat cross-legged, surrounded by crimson-gold law runes of flame. The entire cultivation chamber's space twisted slightly from the intense heat.

"This inheritance—the gains are enormous!"

He closed his eyes and began to fully digest the mysteries of the Third Beast God Inheritance.

"The Fire-Void Fusion Law isn't simply a combination of flame and space. It's about making flame a part of space, and space the vessel of flame..."

Lines of law runes swirled around him, sometimes roaring as a flame dragon, sometimes condensing into a spatial barrier, then merging with each other to form entirely new structures of the Fire Void Law.

Time passed, and a hundred years slipped by in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Yan Ning slowly opened his eyes. Deep within his pupils, it seemed as if two crimson-gold suns were burning, and the void around him trembled slightly under his gaze.

"A hundred years of enlightenment surpasses several thousand years before!"

He stood up, feeling the surging power within his body, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

"And... my comprehension speed seems to have increased a lot!"

Yan Ning thought back carefully and realized that ever since he had signed in at the Inheritance Land and obtained the [Fire-Void Fusion Law Talent], his understanding of the Fire Void Law had become as natural as a fish in water. Many places that had been obscure and difficult before now clicked instantly with just a hint!

"Is this the gap that talent makes?"

He had cultivated the path of Fire Void before, but it had relied more on his own comprehension. Now, it felt as if he was born for this path!

"At this rate, maybe it won't be long before I fully comprehend the Third Inheritance!"

A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Yan Ning's eyes, but he quickly calmed down.

If he could continue and receive the inheritance once more, his comprehension speed would surely be even faster.

He flipped his palm.

The Glory World Sub-Sensing Receiver appeared in his hand.

His consciousness passed through the receiver and entered the Glory World.

Glory World.

Open-air plaza. Yan Ning suddenly appeared here, and in his hand was a black book.

He opened it.

On the first page, there were only two words: "Name."

"Name: Demon Flame."

He entered the name, then continued flipping.

The second page was a map of the Glory World. The Glory World was very small.

One was the Glory Open-Air Plaza, and the other was the Battle World.

As long as one was within the Ancestral God Secret Realm, they could connect to the Glory World.

The Glory World had a Glory Ranking and Glory Points. Glory Points could be exchanged for inheritance attempts.

His current position was at the tail end of the Glory World's Third-Tier Ranking.

Record: 0 wins, 0 losses.

The moment Yan Ning appeared in the Glory World, several gazes immediately turned toward him.

"Is that... Demon Flame King?"

"It really is him! Demon Flame King of the Hong Alliance!"

In the open-air plaza, several King-level powerhouses of the Hong Alliance brightened and quickly walked toward him.

One of them, a human King clad in silver battle armor, smiled and cupped his hands:

"Demon Flame King, I didn't expect you to come to the Glory World too!"

Yan Ning looked up and recognized him—Silver Edge King, a well-known King-Peak powerhouse in the Hong Alliance.

"Silver Edge King."

Yan Ning nodded slightly, acknowledging the greeting.

Another special lifeform, shrouded in cyan flames, also sidled over, his voice hoarse: "Demon Flame King, I heard you caused quite a stir in the Treasure Land?"

Yan Ning raised an eyebrow slightly and said calmly, "Just taking a stroll."

"Hahaha!"

Silver Edge King burst into laughter.

"Someone who can make Black Prison Venerable eat dirt is rare on all of Redbud Island. Demon Flame King truly lives up to his reputation! That guy must be utterly humiliated right now!"

The other Hong Alliance members chimed in, their words brimming with admiration. After all, being able to suppress a Universe Venerable while still a Sealed King was something few in the entire primeval universe could boast!

Yet not everyone bore Yan Ning goodwill.

"Hmph, just relying on a massive Divine Body."

An icy voice came from the side.

Yan Ning turned to look. A Mechanical Clan powerhouse, translucent like purple crystal, was staring coldly at him, data-stream-like light flickering in its eyes.

"Amethyst King!"

Silver Edge King's expression shifted slightly as he lowered his voice. "A Sealed King Invincible of the Mechanical Clan. They say his combat power approaches that of a Universe Venerable."

Yan Ning's expression remained unchanged as he calmly met the other's gaze.

Amethyst King sneered. "Demon Flame King, Glory World isn't decided by Divine Body size. If you've got the guts, come fight me in Battle World."

The open-air plaza fell silent instantly. Everyone held their breath, watching the scene.

The corner of Yan Ning's mouth lifted slightly. "Fine."

"But..."

He flipped open the black book in his hand, revealing the Glory Points column: 10 points.

"I don't have any Glory Points yet."

Amethyst King let out a derisive laugh. "So you're just a pauper."

With that, he turned and left, followed by a wave of mocking laughter from the Mechanical Clan camp.

Yan Ning paid it no mind. Instead, he looked at Silver Edge King. "How do I earn Glory Points?"

Silver Edge King quickly explained, "Glory Points can be obtained by winning battles."

Yan Ning nodded, already forming a plan in his mind.

He opened the challenge application list for Glory World—and froze.

"This is..."

The application list was crammed with challenge requests, practically overflowing his interface. The number had reached hundreds of thousands!

"So many people want to challenge me?"

A faint smile curled at the corner of Yan Ning's mouth, a glint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

He casually opened a few application messages.

"So, my arrival at the Ancestral God Sect and my clash with Black Prison Venerable in the Treasure Land have already spread."

Yan Ning understood. Among these challengers, some wanted to make a name for themselves by stepping on him, some simply wanted to beat him up, and others were purely testing his strength.

"Since you're all so eager."

He tapped his finger, directly filtering out the challenges with the highest stakes.

"Accept them all!"

"Battle World, teleport!"

Boom!

Yan Ning's figure instantly appeared in a vast starry battlefield.

Across from him, Amethyst King had long been waiting. Its body, composed of countless purple crystals, gleamed with cold light under the starlight.

"Demon Flame King, you'll regret this."

Amethyst King's voice was frigid.

"Glory World has no advantage for Divine Bodies. Here, you are doomed to lose!"

Yan Ning didn't reply. He simply raised his right hand slowly.

"Fire-Void Fusion Law!"

"Rise!"

Rumble!
