" Dark Nether King, you can just call me King Xue You."
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, but even his smile looked eerie, given his appearance as Ghost King Avatar.
" King Xue You, you are still the only one -One-Horned Ghost King I, Dark Nether, have ever seen. Why don't you go and try your luck on those mountains?"
The Dark Nether King gazed at the towering mountains ahead, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
"Can."
The two ascended into the air and soon landed on an ordinary mountain peak.
After waiting for a long time, the mountain did not respond.
The Dark Nether King said, "Don't be discouraged. The conditions set for each treasure in the Treasure Land are different. Some conditions are extremely harsh, ridiculously high. Take the 108 highest mountains, for example. It is said that every treasure contained there is Supreme Treasure, but since their creation, only a little over forty have been opened so far."
"That's still very impressive."
Lu Qingshan looked at the 108 highest peaks.
"Yes, the last person to obtain one of these treasures was a Universe Venerable of the Demon Race. After obtaining the treasure, that Universe Venerable quickly became Universe Overlord, possessing unparalleled power."
The Dark Nether King sighed, then said, "However, in this Inheritance Land, the probability of other races obtaining treasures is not as high as that of us Special Lifeform. After all, the Ancestral God Religion has a preference for Special Lifeform forms, and among the many conditions they set, Special Lifeform forms should be one of them. We have an advantage."
"Oh."
The two chatted as they headed toward another mountain peak.
The conditions for opening the treasure are very simple; you just need to get close to it to trigger the event, provided that certain conditions are met.
Just a short walk around the mountain will tell you whether it meets the requirements.
"Our Special Lifeform forms possess immense advantages, and we have many powerful figures within the Ancestral God Religion. For example, there's the Bug Chasing King, with Gene Level 5000 times higher, ranking among the top three among the many inheritors of the Ancestral God Religion Sect. Although he's King Rank, he already has the feat of slaying Universe Venerable. And then there's Purple Rain Venerable, even more formidable... Further down the line, there's the Mirror King. Although he's only King Rank, thanks to his Supreme Treasure and Innate Secret Technique, he can also interact with Universe Venerable on an equal footing..."
The Dark Nether King cited examples to prove that their Special Lifeform were extraordinary, and concluded in conclusion.
"Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in the Ancestral God Religion that all inheritors, regardless of race, tacitly abide by: avoid provoking Special Lifeform Special Lifeform if possible. Even if Special Lifeform is currently inferior to them, once they break through to the same level, they can crush them with their strength. Moreover, we Special Lifeform also have our own small groups!"
"Oh, really?"
Lu Qingshan stared at the distance not far ahead.
A colossal serpent Demon Race flew towards them.
The massive Demon Race inheritor's gaze was icy, his enormous pupils fixed intently on the Ghost King Avatar.
A powerful aura swept towards the two of them.
" Venerable Burning Annihilation, what do you intend to do?"
Dark Nether King looked at the enormous serpent not far away, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. Special Lifeform are usually very proud, and they generally won't bow their heads even when facing Universe Venerable. The key point is that he had just told King Xue You that Special Lifeform are generally not easily provoked, and this guy's sudden appearance was simply a slap in the face.
" Dark Nether King, get out of my way!"
With a flick of his wrist, Venerable Burning Annihilation sent Dark Nether King flying. Dark Nether King was slammed to the ground, utterly disheveled...
" The Demon Race's Venerable Burning Annihilation!"
He gritted his teeth and immediately sought help in the Glory World.
Within the Treasure Land, shrouded by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, no one dares to truly make a move, not even Universe Venerable. If they were to kill an Inheritor, the Five-Colored Aurora Lake would deem it a violation and they would be killed on the spot.
However, some Universe Venerable are very clever. They will not kill those who King Rank, but they can humiliate them. For example, they just sent the Dark Nether King flying, making him look miserable, but his divine body was not harmed, so it will not be judged as a violation.
The commotion here naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Lu Qingshan's appearance on this mountain peak had already drawn the attention of many inheritors who were curious about the One-Horned Ghost King to him and the Dark Nether King.
"What is this Venerable Burning Annihilation doing? Bullying these two little ones?"
"I heard that Venerable Burning Annihilation's most beloved junior has died? He's been very angry lately."
"Could the Venerable Burning Annihilation's most beloved descendant be the Demon Race's inheritor King Kong Xuan?"
"Yes, otherwise Venerable Burning Annihilation wouldn't be so angry. He went to great lengths to obtain the Inheritance Token of the King Kong Xuan, and now that he's dead... even if he's resurrected in the future, he'll have no chance of Beast God Inheritance's legacy."
" King Kong Xuan is really unlucky; he missed such a tremendous opportunity!"
The crowd was discussing, especially some of the Universe Venerable who spoke without restraint, since they didn't care about the King Burning Annihilation's thoughts. Even Lu Qingshan overheard their conversation.
" King Xue You... In the last hundred years, the only inheritors of the Ancestral God Religion are you and Dragon Whale King. My descendant King Kong Xuan, was killed by you, wasn't he!"
The Venerable Burning Annihilation stared at Lu Qingshan with his enormous snake eyes.
A century ago, he received a distress call from his descendant, the King Kong Xuan, who said he was being hunted by the Dragon Whale King. However, the King Kong Xuan quickly sent another message saying he had escaped...
But after that, no further news came.
The Dragon Whale King had been staying at his home on Bauhinia Island, but Lu Qingshan seized the opportunity when he came to the Treasure Land.
Based on his reasoning, this King Xue You is highly suspicious. After all, he came to the Ancestral God Secret Realm with the Dragon Whale King.
"What King Kong Xuan? I don't know him. However, on my way to the Ancestral God Religion, a stupid snake crashed into my spaceship and was eventually killed by me."
Facing Venerable Burning Annihilation, Lu Qingshan showed no fear whatsoever.
"Okay, okay, it really was you!"
The Venerable Burning Annihilation was furious.
"So what if it's me? Do you dare lay a hand on me here?"
Lu Qingshan sneered.
Without him needing to deliberately investigate, he could tell from the conversation between these Venerable that the Venerable Burning Annihilation was only of average strength among the Universe Venerable. His Ghost King Avatar using all its strength and was not afraid of ordinary Universe Venerable, so naturally it didn't care about the other party.
" King Xue You, don't think that just because you're a Special Lifeform, you can challenge a Universe Venerable. Not every Special Lifeform is the Bug Chasing King!"
No sooner had Venerable Burning Annihilation finished speaking than he made his move.
Buzzing.
A surge of illusory divine power shot directly toward the Ghost King Avatar.
This scene astonished countless people.
"This Venerable Burning Annihilation actually attacked directly, and with Soul Attack no less? Isn't he afraid of being killed by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake?"
"No, Venerable Burning Annihilation isn't stupid. He won't perish together with a King Rank expert. Otherwise, even if he were resurrected, the price he would pay would far exceed killing a King Rank, not to mention losing the precious opportunity of Beast God Inheritance."
" The Venerable Burning Annihilation must want to embarrass this One-Horned Ghost King. Do you remember the King Li Liang from countless eras ago? That guy relied on the protection of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake to provoke a Universe Venerable. Who knew that the Universe Venerable was proficient in illusion magic, and directly made him believe he was a dog in the illusion, barking wildly in front of countless people in the Treasure Land..."
Haha, after the King Li Liang finally regained consciousness, he realized what had happened and that he had become a laughingstock... and then he disappeared. We don't know if he went into hiding or was secretly killed by that Universe Venerable outside the Ancestral God Secret Realm.
"Yes, King Rank dares to provoke Universe Venerable; that's courting death. The Universe Venerable has countless ways to deal with a King-level Immortal."
"This King Xue You is quite audacious, actually killing the most beloved descendant of the Venerable Burning Annihilation. This time, things probably won't end well."
As everyone looked at the One-Horned Ghost King, who was trapped in a soul illusion, their faces showed anticipation.
Some people even took out recording equipment.
" Xue You!"
The Dark Nether King shouted from the side, trying to warn the One-Horned Ghost King, but the divine power of the Venerable Burning Annihilation blocked his voice from reaching the other side.
He was extremely anxious and sent several more messages asking for help.
"Idiot!"
Just when everyone thought that King Xue You had fallen into the illusion of the Venerable Burning Annihilation, a voice suddenly entered everyone's ears.
The One-Horned Ghost King looked at the Venerable Burning Annihilation, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
Yes, it's mockery.
Not to mention that his will is already at the Universe Venerable level, his Soul Palace, honed over countless years, can directly defend against this shallow soul illusion. He has been immersed in the Thousand-Thread Soul Refinement Reincarnation Illusion Realm for so long, how could he be deceived by the illusion?
"Asshole!"
The Venerable Burning Annihilation was incredulous; his own illusionary soul technique had absolutely no effect on this One-Horned Ghost King.
However, at this moment he was enraged by the word "idiot".
He, a Universe Venerable, was publicly called a fool by an King-level Immortal.
If he doesn't regain his dignity, he'll likely become a laughingstock among the countless Universe Venerable in this Inheritance Land.
Thick flames suddenly erupted from the giant snake's body.
The Soul Illusion is countless times more powerful than before.
"This Burning Annihilation has gone mad; it's actually Burning Divine Body."
"If the Five-Colored Aurora Lake determines that he intentionally injured someone, he will definitely be punished."
"If I were Venerable Burning Annihilation, being insulted like this by a King Rank would surely drive me mad."
"This is going to be interesting!"
Illusion... Endless illusion...
After Burning Divine Body, the illusion created by the Venerable Burning Annihilation was comparable to, or even more realistic and terrifying than, the Silver Eyes' Innate Secret Technique!
Silver Eyes ' Innate Secret Technique is to trap the enemy in an illusion, ultimately causing their soul to collapse. It requires a high level of skill. This Venerable Burning Annihilation not only harbored thoughts of humiliation, but he also wanted to thoroughly humiliate this King Xue You!
The Soul Palace could not completely defend against it, and Lu Qingshan was indeed trapped in an illusion. After all, his Ghost King Avatar did not have Soul True Treasure to protect him directly. However, the greatly weakened illusion had become extremely crude, and Lu Qingshan found the flaw in it after only a few glances.
However, he did not actively break free from the illusion, but instead remained trapped within it.
"It'll be here soon, it'll be here soon!"
The Venerable Burning Annihilation looked at the King Xue You opposite him, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
"As long as I kill this King Xue You and prevent him from staying in this Ancestral God Secret Realm, my goal will be achieved. He's just a One-Horned Ghost King; without the help of his clan, I can kill him with a wave of my hand outside!"
"Almost there!"
"It'll be ready soon!"
"Just a little bit more."
"Boom!!"
The flames on Venerable Burning Annihilation disappeared, and his expression became extremely distorted, filled with uncontrollable rage.
" King Xue You! You're playing me!"
In just a short while, he had already burned five percent of his divine body, yet the other party remained in a state of imminent sinking into the illusion. If he hadn't suddenly woken up, he probably would have lost even more!
Hearing this, Lu Qingshan smiled slightly and said, "You're only realizing it now? That's incredibly stupid!"
