Yang Zhenyu's face darkened, and he couldn't help but slap his forehead. It was hard to believe that he had just been scared by such a thing.
Shameful!
That's so embarrassing!
So embarrassing!
Youyue laughed, "This is the first time I've encountered such an interesting Demon Beast."
Xiu'er nodded and said, "Who says otherwise?"
Youyue looked at Su Chen, "Should we release him?"
Su Chen did not respond. Instead, he raised his hand and waved it. In an instant, a terrifying power, as if from the primordial era, surged out like the surging waters of the Milky Way, carrying endless pressure and an aura of destruction, heading towards the Flame-Scaled Abyss Hegemon Beast.
The space rippled under the impact of this force, and finally, unable to bear the weight, it shattered.
"No!"
The Flame-Scaled Abyss Hegemon Beast let out a roar of unwilling anger, which shook the heavens. Its body was radiant with light, its muscles were taut, and every scale stood up, gleaming with a cold light.
It struggled to swing its powerful claws, trying to tear apart the oncoming force. However, the force was simply too great, crushing down relentlessly like a mountain pressing down.
The Flame-Scaled Abyss Hegemon Beast's resistance was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, crumbling instantly in the face of such absolute power.
Finally, in its desperate and unwilling roar, that power completely annihilated it, and with a shrill scream, it turned into dust and vanished into the world.
Youyue and the others stared blankly at the scene, unable to recover for a long time.
Su Chen remained calm, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever, like a still lake. "Go and pick the Immortal-Gathering Fruit."
Youyue and the others remained silent, and none of them moved.
Su Chen glanced at them. "You want to let it go?"
Xiu'er hesitated for a moment, then said, "I think that Demon Beast is quite interesting. Since it has begged for mercy, it's not unreasonable to spare its life."
"Spare its life?"
Su Chen chuckled at this, glancing at the other three, "You guys think so too?"
The three nodded.
Su Chen sighed softly, then looked at Xiu'er, "Then let me ask you, if I hadn't intervened just now, what would have happened to Yang Zhenyu?"
Xiu'er was stunned, and so were Youyue and the others; they all fell silent.
Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back and calmly said, "Answer me."
Xiu'er bit her lip and said, "I'll die."
Su Chen asked, "So, do you still want to spare its life?"
Xiu'er quickly shook her head, "No."
Su Chen nodded, then looked at Youyue and the other two, "And you?"
The three of them, Youyue, all shook their heads.
Su Chen said, "So why aren't you hurrying to pick the Immortal-Gathering Fruit? Are you waiting for me to pick it?"
Upon hearing this, the four of them were slightly taken aback, then the corners of their mouths involuntarily turned up, revealing a smile.
Yang Zhenyu said, "I'll go!"
He jogged along, picked all the Immortal-Gathering Fruit, and then handed them to Su Chen with both hands.
Su Chen looked down at the Immortal-Gathering Fruit in Yang Zhenyu's hand, then looked up and asked, "Do you think I need these things?"
Yang Zhenyu froze, then gave an awkward smile, "It seems we don't need that."
Su Chen said with a faint smile, "You two should break up."
Yang Zhenyu said happily, "Thank you, Dean!"
But then he encountered a problem, because he only had three Immortal-Gathering Fruit, and there were four of them to share them.
After a moment's thought, he handed one of the Immortal-Gathering Fruit to Xiu'er, one to Liu Cui, and then to Youyue.
Youyue shook her head and said, "Although this Immortal-Gathering Fruit can improve cultivation, it's useless to me right now. You should keep it and eat it."
Yang Zhenyu asked in surprise, "Really?"
Youyue smiled and said, "Really."
"Alright, thank you very much, Youyue." Yang Zhenyu didn't refuse any longer and put away the Immortal-Gathering Fruit.
Youyue looked at Su Chen, "What's our next step?"
Su Chen slowly looked up at the sky, "You'll find out soon enough."
As the words fell, the entire tomb seemed to be stirred by an invisible hand. The ground shook violently like a small boat in a stormy sea, causing chaos and upheaval. Youyue and the others Human Heart shocked and almost fell over.
Then, to their astonishment, a celestial palace slowly emerged in the void. It radiated a dazzling light, like the rising sun piercing through the clouds at Daybreak.
The architecture of the celestial palace is simple and elegant, with white jade steps and glazed tiles. The eaves and brackets are carved with endless mysterious runes and auspicious beasts, which are lifelike.
Surrounded by swirling clouds and auspicious light, it seemed as if a passage between the fairyland and the mortal world had been opened. It floated there quietly, and a sacred and majestic aura permeated the air, inspiring awe in everyone in the tomb.
Yang Zhenyu stared at the celestial palace, his eyes wide. "What is this?"
After a moment's thought, Youyue said, "This should be the real tomb. Shen Li's legacy must be inside."
"What!"
Yang Zhenyu, his face filled with shock, exclaimed excitedly, "Then don't hesitate! Otherwise, the inheritance will be snatched away!"
Youyue looked at Su Chen.
Su Chen said, "Let's go, let's go see this strongest person from tens of millions of years ago."
Without another word, he rose into the air and headed towards the celestial palace.
However, Youyue and the others were stunned by what he said.
Liu Cui asked, "What do you mean by that, Dean? Does it mean that Senior Shen Li isn't dead?"
Youyue shook her head and said, "You'll know once you go and see."
The group nodded, and without further hesitation, quickly followed.
Outside the celestial palace, many prodigies and geniuses had gathered, their excitement barely concealed as they gazed at it.
"Senior Shen Li's legacy must be inside!"
"If I obtain the inheritance of Senior Shen Li, I will surely soar to the heavens, and who can stop me?"
"I want this legacy!"
"Heh, you think you're worthy?"
"What did you say!"
Everyone was filled with anticipation and excitement; everyone wanted to inherit the legacy, and some even nearly came to blows over it.
At that moment, dozens of figures descended from the sky!
Everyone looked over, and when they saw who it was, their eyes revealed fear.
" Man Shi is here!"
"Sigh, we probably have no chance of passing this on."
"That's not necessarily true. There are so many of us, are we afraid of him?"
"You're thinking too simply. If we offend him, do you think the High Antiquity Man Household will let us off the hook?"
"Hmph! Even so, this inheritance may not necessarily be his. Don't forget, Ruobing and Yaoyang also came to the Secret Tomb. Their strength is no weaker Man Ya's, and their backgrounds are not to be feared."
Buzz...
Suddenly, several sword cries resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
Human Heart was startled and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see blinding Sword-Ray tearing through the void as they arrived, eventually stopping beside Man Ya and the others.
And the one leading them was none other than Jun Yaoyang!
Jun Yaoyang looked at Man Ya and laughed, "You came pretty quickly."
Man Ya glanced at him and said calmly, "Aren't you the same?"
Jun Yaoyan smiled, then looked puzzled, "Logically speaking, Ruobing should have arrived by now."
Upon hearing this, Man Ya's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.
