Fang Lingtian looked at the fellow who had ambushed him.

His expression was dark and ugly.

If he hadn't drawn quite a few life-saving items in the lottery,

he probably would have been cut down by that sword strike just now.

His luck seemed to have been especially rotten ever since he came to this inheritance.

First, he had nearly been suppressed and killed by that indifferent youth's palm strike outside.

Now, even while exploring the inheritance with the utmost caution, he had ended up surrounded and attacked by the Demon Race.

Fury churned in Fang Lingtian's heart. He could no longer bear it.

He burst into a torrent of curses.

"Have you Demon Race people no shame?!

Three Pill Sea Realm cultivators against me, one Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, wasn't enough?!

Now another Pill Sea Realm cultivator has come to ambush me!"

Against four Pill Sea Realm cultivators, his remaining trump cards were already being stretched thin.

So, after cursing them,

Fang Lingtian decisively activated a purple talisman, tore open the void, and fled.

As for the other two,

he could barely protect himself now, so naturally he couldn't concern himself with them.

Without Fang Lingtian to hold the demons back,

the two remaining human prodigies didn't last long before they were slain by the Demon Race prodigies.

Similar scenes were playing out throughout the inheritance.

Either human prodigies banded together to suppress and kill Demon Race geniuses,

or Demon Race geniuses joined forces to wipe out human prodigies.

Apart from the mighty figures still searching for the Mystic Gang Yin-Yang Bottle,

the disciples and successors under their respective commands had already begun killing.

Outside the palace,

a hundred or so people were scattered about.

Some had only just arrived.

Some were too timid to go in.

Others were preparing to wait outside like hunters by a tree stump,

intending to rob those who emerged with gains.

High in the void,

a resounding dragon roar suddenly rang out, shaking hearts and minds.

A colossal creature emerged from the clouds.

With it came

an overwhelmingly powerful pressure like mountains toppling and seas overturning!

The hearts of everyone outside the inheritance trembled.

Their legs would barely obey them, and they couldn't help wanting to fall to their knees.

The people looked up.

There were nine enormous, fearsome black dragon heads!

A moment later,

their full bodies came into view.

They were immense beyond measure, blotting out the sky and covering the earth, as though a whole firmament were bearing down!

What made everyone stare in horror was that

behind the black dragons,

they were actually pulling a magnificent divine palace!

It was glorious beyond compare.

Divine light shone brilliantly, immortal radiance swirled around it, vast Dao charm billowed, and laws flowed!

Sword Qi of a sharpness beyond anything in this world threw heaven and earth into turmoil.

Even the void was filled with a chillingly keen edge.

Unceasing, sharp metallic cries echoed through the air.

This divine palace seemed not to belong to this world,

but to be a creation of the legendary Immortal Realm!

When the nine enormous black dragons pulled the divine palace

fully into view above the inheritance,

seas of clouds churned, divine thunder rumbled, and immortal light descended.

Boundless pressure swept in every direction like a storm.

Mysterious Dao sounds rang out one after another, and an unusual fragrance quietly appeared from the void.

Countless auspicious signs appeared as heaven and earth celebrated together.

It was as though this whole world were welcoming the arrival of the divine palace's master!

What shocked everyone once again was that

behind the traveling palace

followed a great many iron-blooded soldiers.

Every one of them had a powerful, violent presence. They carried divine spears and wore dark armor.

They also rode identical, ferocious strange beasts.

Their imposing presence surged, vast and boundless.

From within the divine palace,

an extraordinary, broad white jade avenue, smooth and lustrous, extended downward.

A youth in a luxurious white-and-gold brocade robe, a longsword on his back,

walked out of the divine palace and stepped onto the white jade avenue.

The youth looked fifteen or sixteen.

His handsome face was picturesque, and his expression was calm.

He had a lofty bearing, transcendent and unworldly, his sharp edge fully exposed as he stood high above all!

His brows radiated absolute confidence in himself and a proud disdain for everything in the world.

Immortal radiance enveloped him, Sword Qi crisscrossed around him, and his presence was sharp and overbearing.

He was like a peerless sword immortal descending from the heavens into the mortal world!

At his side

was another youth of the same age, with a handsome, rugged face.

That youth was tall and powerfully built, yet well-proportioned. His bearing was fierce, and his gaze bore immense pressure.

In his hand he held a sky-piercing halberd that emanated a heavy, terrifying presence.

Towering demonic might rippled around him!

A young man with a resolute, masculine face followed respectfully behind the two.

Yet the presence he gave off was suffocating and oppressive.

Simply standing there, he made the void tremble and whine visibly!

The people were astounded.

They could hardly conceal the surprise on their faces.

It was as though towering waves had risen in their hearts.

With such an extravagant display,

who exactly were these people?!

Especially the youth at their head-just what was his identity?!

Everyone knew that the sword-immortal-like youth had to be the successor of a major power,

and one of the very finest within it at that.

"This pressure, like a sword immortal descending into the world..."

"Could he be...

the Gu Clan's forbidden divine son from the Northern Nether Dao Domain, the one known as the Young Sword Immortal-

Gu Xuanjin?!"

Ever since Gu Xuanjin had swept aside a host of monstrous prodigies in the Azure Radiance Dao Domain and ascended to first place on the Wind and Cloud Ranking,

many people across the Three Thousand Dao Domains had heard his name.

Although none of the people here had seen Gu Xuanjin before

and hadn't recognized him at once,

that terrifying pressure, like a sword immortal's,

was Gu Xuanjin's unique hallmark.

"I didn't expect the Gu Clan's divine son to come here!

But

surely a mere Quasi-Emperor's inheritance wouldn't catch his eye?"

"Are you stupid? Who would complain about having too many good things?"

"If you ask me, this divine son must have come for that treasure!"

"What treasure?"

"I don't know either. I heard it from someone else..."

Under the crowd's admiring and fervent gazes,

Gu Xuanjin, Lü Yifei, and Ji Song turned into a streak of divine light and swept across the sky.

In an instant, they entered the solemn, imposing Quasi-Emperor's inheritance ahead.

Gu Xuanjin had come here for only three things.

His primary task was to kill Fang Lingtian, devour his system, and plunder his origin.

Next was to have Lü Yifei deal with the third prince of the Myriad Demon Divine Court and avenge his grievance.

Last was to see whether he could obtain that Quasi-Emperor weapon, the Yin-Yang Mystic Gang Bottle.

If he could get it through luck, so much the better.

If luck wasn't on his side, he would seize it by force.

Apart from Gu Changqing, the Divine Martial Guard commander, who remained outside on standby,

the other four mighty figures at Peak Quasi-Emperor

had already concealed themselves and followed Gu Xuanjin into the inheritance.

As for the Great Emperor ancestor,

he stayed in Gu Xuanjin's traveling palace, just in case.

He did not follow them into the inheritance.

Gu Xuanjin contacted Dugu Yunyan.

He was at a set of ruins, preparing to break through the protective formation.

Dugu Yunyan said he could sense that there was something good inside.

And after all these years,

the formation's power had almost entirely dissipated.

It wouldn't be long before he could open it.

Seeing that Dugu Yunyan had his own opportunity,

Gu Xuanjin asked whether he had found any trace of Fang Lingtian.

After receiving a negative answer,

he did not interfere with Dugu Yan any further.

Since he couldn't find Fang Lingtian for the time being,

Gu Xuanjin set his sights first on the third prince of the Myriad Demon Divine Court.

Although the third prince had no system to obscure the workings of heaven,

within this inheritance, those workings were hazy and chaotic.

Even the mighty Quasi-Emperors Gu Xuanjin had brought with him

found it difficult to locate the Divine Court's third prince precisely through the chaos.

So Gu Xuanjin directly used the system to locate the Divine Court's third prince.

He didn't even have to spend any Villain Points.

He glanced at Lü Yifei.

Gu Xuanjin said calmly, "Let's go. The Divine Court's third prince isn't far from here."

Lü Yifei thanked him.

Killing intent swirled in his eyes, and the Ghost God Sky Piercer in his hand seemed to be boiling as well.

Then the three turned into streaks of divine light

and sped off in a chosen direction.
