Not long after, a gale howled at the divine peak. An extremely terrifying aura began permeating out. Immediately after, a 30-foot-tall imposing figure descended from the sky, shaking heaven and earth. Blue arcs of lightning shot out from his eyes as he gazed at the tightly shut palace doors before him. His aura was boiling to the extreme and the surrounding void warped.

Anyone witnessing this would understand that this person had reached the brink of rage and could embark on a massacre anytime. He himself was a dignified Saint King Realm master yet he disregarded the perils of the immortal formations, charging through one after another.

In the end, the inheritance of the World-Transcending Sword Master would be preempted by someone else. In any situation like this, no matter who it happened to, one would feel furious; no matter how one thought about it, it felt like a smoldering anger within the heart.

Before entering the Chaotic Sea Star Region, he had already deemed the World-Transcending Sword Master’s inheritance as taboo to him. How could he allow others to receive the inheritance earlier than him?

“Who is it? Who managed to get ahead of me? Could it be a great saint of the White Jade Divine Elephant Clan?”

The imposing figure glared at the palace and roared in a suppressed voice. His voice was strained, but substantial killing intent had almost solidified around him, permeating every inch of the surrounding space.

Dark red blood Qi slowly rose from his body. At this moment, he seemed like an invincible deity, embodying the supreme killing god, capable of confronting gods and Buddhas alike.

The entire mountain range under his feet rumbled. Countless rocks were crushed into fine powder by his domineering pressure. This was too terrifying! The aura of a Saint King Realm master erupted without restraint. This was beyond what ordinary people could withstand. Cultivators below the Saint Realm would be pulverized into a bloody mist in the blink of an eye if they stood here.

“I didn’t come across the corpse of the White Jade Divine Elephant Clan’s great saint along the way. What can be certain now is that he killed the fellow Daoists of the Golden Crow Clan and the White Ape Clan before entering this palace of inheritance!”

The supreme figure muttered as the slender silhouette in his mind gradually became clearer. When he recalled what had transpired in the outside world, the 30-foot creature squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.

“Excellent! You, very good!”

At this moment, how could he not understand that the other party had deliberately said all that just to elicit everyone’s hidden cards? His intention was probably not on Su Chen at all. The reason why he had said so much was simply to uncover their hands so he could make better preparations.

At this thought, his lungs almost exploded with anger. To think their myriad races had actually been duped by him!

“Fellow Daoist, it appears we have arrived late!” Just then, someone else turned up.

It was an old man, extremely emaciated with delicate features. A young man followed behind him. This pair stood out prominently.

However, the stalwart figure merely tossed them a passing glance before letting out a cold snort, ignoring them thereafter. He recognized these newcomers. The old man was from the ancient imperial race, the Long family, while the youth was just a descendant at the peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm, albeit with quite a reputation in the Southern Region. Rumor had it that he was honored as the number one prodigy of the younger generation.

But this title was fundamentally not commensurate with reality.

But as more and more ancient experts and prodigies gradually awakened from their self-seals, such fanciful titles among the juniors would definitely change hands sooner or later. It was just unexpected that these two could catch up so swiftly. This showed they had some tricks up their sleeves.

After all, both he and Zhu You had simply followed the path others took here. On the other hand, these two Long family members relied solely on their own experience and strength to arrive independently. There was no doubt which party was superior.

“Haha.Jf I’m not wrong, the inheritance of the World-Transcending Sword Master has probably landed in the White Jade Divine Elephant Clan’s grasp.”

The stalwart figure stood with his hands behind his back, eyes peering superciliously as he glanced coldly at them and spoke.

“Hmm? The White Jade Divine Elephant Clan?”

Upon hearing this, the Long family elder stroked his beard thoughtfully. Before coming here, he had envisaged countless possibilities but never expected a mere Great Saint Realm cultivator to claim the World-Transcending Sword Master’s inheritance!

One must understand that, previously, the White Jade Divine Elephant Clan’s strongest expert was only at the late stage of the Saint Realm. It was already peculiar for a Great Saint Realm cultivator to suddenly emerge from nowhere. Yet now, that great saint was actually ahead of all experts in seizing the World-Transcending Sword Master’s inheritance!

It was foreseeable that the erstwhile inconsequential White Jade Divine Elephant Clan would soon experience a meteoric rise, commanding supremacy over all races!

“Aotian, I never imagined we would still lag one step behind in the end!”

When the Long family elder heard this, he sighed softly and gazed helplessly at the young man behind him.

Behind him, Long Aotian’s face was overcast. His eyes brimmed with chilliness. A few days ago, his heart was inexplicably gripped by a sense of unease, like something was rapidly slipping away from him.

Initially, he dismissed it as merely the after-effects of cultivating too quickly but upon arriving here, he was almost certain now. The disquiet in his heart signified someone had claimed the World-Transcending Sword Master’s inheritance ahead of him!

While others might be oblivious, he was acutely aware that decades ago, he had already obtained parts of the World-Transcending Sword Master’s inheritance, unfortunately without any cultivation methods. Only a portion detailing methods to crack immortal formations was recorded.

They had actually relied on this information to arrive here safely thus far. Yet never did he expect that despite going all out with his ancestor to rush here, there would still be somebody faster than them.

This dealt a huge blow to the perpetually arrogant Long Aotian who found this outcome extremely hard to accept.

Because decades ago, he had already deemed himself the successor to the World-Transcending Sword Master. But now, right before his eyes laid the World-Transcending Sword Master’s inheritance which had slipped through his fingers. This was difficult for him to accept..
