In the stillness of the night, two disheveled figures slowly crawled out of the ruins.
With a surge of spiritual energy, the pebbles and dust clinging to them vanished instantly.
It shot into the sky from the pile of rubble.
Even with their brief alliance, they couldn't truly trust each other, so they remained quite distant.
But at this moment, everyone present could feel the weakening and listlessness of the two overlord-level beings, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Net Hall and the Palace Master of the Holy Maiden Palace.
Both of them had a bloody hole in their bodies.
Although not fatal, it greatly reduced their fighting ability at this moment.
Moreover, the attack from that earlier phantom of the Thunder God could have severely injured both of them.
This only shows that both of them have considerable defensive capabilities.
The two exchanged a glance, neither knowing what the other was thinking.
Opposite him, the man in the golden robe was also somewhat pale, clearly indicating that unleashing the divine phantom that had severely injured the two of them was also a huge drain on his strength.
However, to a discerning eye, it's clear that the two of them are in far worse shape.
For a moment, neither of them knew what to do.
If they keep fighting, they might not be a match for that man in the golden robe.
Moreover, this would come at a huge cost.
Even if they do win, they might not even be qualified to compete for the immortal's inheritance.
Some of the powerful experts at the Great Perfection Emperor Realm in the vicinity might become the final victors.
If they were to ultimately fall to other Great Perfection Emperor Realm experts, they would become a laughingstock throughout the entire Azure Yang Realm.
If you lose, you're very likely to be killed by your opponent.
After all, the two of them had previously delivered deadly blows, so they didn't think that if they lost, their opponents would show them mercy.
what to do?
But they also seem unable to give up their traditions.
"How about we give it another shot?"
As the two hesitated, the Palace Master of the Holy Maiden Palace heard the voice transmission from the Palace Master of the Heavenly Net Hall: "Both of us have trump cards up our sleeves. After dealing with this person, the remaining fortunes can be left for the rest to seize. At the very least, we cannot allow the immortal inheritance to fall into the hands of this otherworldly Half-Immortal!"
The Lord of the Heavenly Net Hall seemed to have made up his mind.
As he said, although the two were sworn enemies, they knew each other inside and out.
They do have some trump cards up their sleeves, but once they use them, they'll be in a weakened state for a period of time.
At that time, they probably couldn't even defeat Great Perfection Emperor Realm expert.
But right now, there are still Emperor Realm experts from both of their major forces around here.
Given the formidable influence of these two dominant forces in the Azure Yang Realm, other forces might not dare to compete with them; at most, they would only share the leftovers.
Therefore, the inheritance of immortality will most likely fall into the hands of one of these two major forces.
If other forces dare to compete, they are confident that they can completely annihilate those people before they even have a chance to come into contact with Half-Immortal.
It's not that receiving the inheritance of an immortal will instantly make you an immortal.
Absorption, transformation, and breakthrough all require time, and the length of this process varies from person to person!
"Good..."
The Palace Mistress of the Holy Maiden Palace glanced around, and was about to agree.
Before she could even finish speaking, her expression suddenly changed drastically.
"Hmm..."
Her face suddenly shifted between pale and pink, and her entire body trembled involuntarily, seemingly out of her control.
"How could this be..."
The Palace Mistress of the Holy Maiden Palace's expression changed drastically; only she herself knew the true state of her situation.
"There's still a hundred years left, could it be because of the injury?"
Sizzle!
While everyone was completely baffled, the Palace Master of the Holy Maiden Palace tore open the void right in front of everyone, and without the slightest hesitation, left the secret realm without looking back.
She actually gave up the immortal's inheritance?
"Why did the Palace Mistress of the Holy Maiden Palace run away? Has she given up?"
The reason these people say this is because those who enter the secret realm can leave at any time.
However, there's one thing: once you leave the secret realm, it's impossible to re-enter.
Each time a secret realm opens, you can only enter once.
If no one inherits the legacy this time either, the next time the secret realm reopens might be ten thousand years from now.
Aside from those at the Emperor Realm, who else could possibly survive until the next time the secret realm reopens?
Even for a powerful Emperor Realm expert, by that time, they would be close to death, and to seize the inheritance, they would probably have to burn everything to have any chance.
Even if one manages to inherit the legacy, one can only leave it to future generations, as one is powerless to reverse the situation due to the burning of everything.
"The Palace Master of the Holy Maiden Palace is acting strangely. Could she have gone mad from her cultivation?"
"It's possible, at least the situation is far from optimistic; otherwise, we must fight to the very last moment!"
"What a pity. Even the two of them combined couldn't defeat that Half-Immortal from the Su Imperial Clan. Now, only the Heavenly Net Hall Master remains. Doesn't that mean..."
For a time, many people turned their attention to the Lord of the Heavenly Net Hall.
In all accounts, the Lord of the Heavenly Net Hall is the local power, and even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. But right now, this local snake of the Heavenly Net Hall is in danger.
Just as everyone expected, the Heavenly Net Hall Master's face looked exactly like he'd just eaten a mouthful of a dissertation.
His face turned a deep liver color.
With the Palace Master of the Holy Maiden Palace still alive, he has at least a 60% chance of preventing this person from obtaining the inheritance.
Now he's all alone; he can't hold them off alone.
He couldn't win in a fight, and he was unwilling to accept losing the immortal's legacy.
"This person claims to be from the Su Imperial Clan. If it's true that their Su Imperial Clan has obtained the immortal's inheritance, the entire Azure Yang Realm's power structure might be completely reshaped. That would be quite interesting!"
"Whatever, that's a power struggle between their top forces. We can just watch the show. Besides, if the Su Imperial Clan is like the Lu Clan before, I don't think it's a big deal. In fact, I'd think it's a good thing. At least the Lu Clan won't oppress us like the Heavenly Net Hall did, nor will they cut off your 'kunkun' like the Holy Maiden Palace did, even shaving your testicles clean!"
"What you say makes sense! But when the city gates catch fire, the fish in the moat suffer. I fear that before the new order is established, we will all become cannon fodder in this new era!"
"There's no other way then, let's hide for now!"
In the void, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Net Hall, Half-Immortal powerhouse, could vaguely hear some discussions.
But this only made his complexion worse.
The Holy Maiden Palace may not be anything special, but the Heavenly Net Hall is equally domineering. People fear and respect them entirely because of their strength and resources.
Once they lose these, their Heavenly Net Hall will likely become the target of everyone's criticism in an instant, like a drowning dog being beaten badly.
"Your Excellency, you previously said... you didn't come here for the sake of the legacy?"
Suddenly, the Lord of the Heavenly Net Hall seemed to have thought of something, his eyes flashed, and he tentatively asked.
