Chapter 525: Entering the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon Core

"A Sacred Artifact?"

Hearing what Soul Ink said, Li Yang asked, "Soul Ink, do you think I have a chance to get one?"

"There’s a chance."

Soul Ink nodded and said, "From what I understand, that super inheritance site will produce treasures of different tiers based on the progress each Cultivator makes over ten years. The more progress you make, the greater the probability of receiving a precious treasure."

"Oh? The more progress, the more precious the treasure?"

Hearing this, Li Yang’s eyes lit up.

’With my many clones, my rate of progress will surely be astonishing!’

Frankly, in the entire Cosmos, you could count the number of people across endless ages who could match his progress on one hand!

’Are you kidding? Three innate Deity clones, plus two World Realm level clones—if someone could still rival me with all that, how powerful would their Talent have to be? It’s practically impossible.’

Therefore, since geniuses had obtained Sacred Artifacts in the super inheritance site before, the likelihood of Li Yang getting one was quite high.

A look of clear anticipation appeared in Li Yang’s eyes.

’That’s a Sacred Artifact!’

’With my foundation as a Tri-System Deity, I used the Sacred Artifact, the Profound Annihilation Spear, to grind an Alien Race Tri-System Deity to death!’

’Keep in mind, that Alien Race Tri-System Deity also had a Divine Artifact, but under the power of a Sacred Artifact, they were ultimately slain!’

One could only imagine how terrifying the might of a Sacred Artifact was!

An opponent of the same level would almost certainly be killed if they faced someone who possessed a Sacred Artifact.

The Profound Annihilation Spear he currently possessed was an offensive Sacred Artifact. If he obtained a defensive one, he estimated that even Four-Element Deities wouldn’t be able to harm him at all.

If he obtained a speed-type one, he estimated that his speed would surpass that of many Four-Element Deities.

It was safe to say that any kind of Sacred Artifact would be of immense use to him.

Of course, if he got another offensive one with an effect that overlapped with the Profound Annihilation Spear, Li Yang could simply sell it in the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall and exchange it for a different type!

After indulging in his anticipation for a moment, Li Yang reined in his expectations.

’I’ll stop thinking about it. A Sacred Artifact is still a long way off for me.’

He hadn’t even reached the super inheritance site yet. And even if he did, the treasures wouldn’t appear for another ten years. It was too early to be thinking about all this.

"Let’s go!"

His figure flickered, and with astonishing speed, Li Yang quickly vanished from sight.

...

Time passed quickly, and two months soon went by.

Li Yang’s main body was still far from the super inheritance site, but his Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone, following behind Emperor Heiya, had finally arrived at the territory of the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race.

However, this time, Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone kept a low profile upon arrival. Emperor Heiya chose not to let Li Yang make a public appearance, instead traveling continuously via Space Teleportation Arrays. When there were no Teleportation Arrays, they flew swiftly through the void, making it impossible for others to even catch a glimpse of Li Yang.

After another day, Emperor Heiya and Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone finally arrived at their destination.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The moment they arrived, terrifying waves of energy erupted as powerful figures descended one by one. The auras emanating from these experts were no less powerful than Heiya’s; they were clearly all Emperors!

After these Emperor Level experts appeared, they all looked toward Li Yang.

"Heiya, is this the Kong Yu who has only cultivated for seventy-five years?"

"Seventy-five years is just Kong Yu’s age; he’s probably only been cultivating for about sixty-odd years. In such a short time, he has mastered two profundities of the Fire Element, is on the verge of mastering two profundities of Space Law, and is just shy of breaking through to the World Realm in both Dark Law and Time Law. To think our Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race could produce such a powerful genius!"

"The heavens have blessed our Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race!"

"Even Mu Xuan, that monstrous genius who recently appeared in the Thunder Star Beast race, might not have Talent comparable to Kong Yu’s."

"It’s not ’might not be’—he definitely can’t compare!"

"Right! What’s so great about Mu Xuan comprehending one extra law? He probably just rushed to comprehend a new law as soon as he broke through to the World Realm in one."

The Emperors of the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race were extremely excited, chattering incessantly.

They, who were so proud yet had been so stifled, had finally witnessed the birth of a peerless genius within their race!

’This is how it should be!’

’How could their great Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race, the most favored by the Cosmos, possibly fail to produce a genius?’

And now, one had appeared before them—a peerless genius who would most likely surpass the human Li Yang and the Thunder Star Beast Mu Xuan!

BOOM!

Just then, another, even more terrifying wave of pressure erupted. An even more colossal Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon appeared in the void.

This Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon coiled in the void, and the surrounding space-time instantly froze.

Seeing the newcomer, all the Emperors present were startled and hastily greeted, "Greetings, Dragon Domain Sovereign!"

’The Sovereign of the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race?’ Li Yang watched, a trace of shock in his eyes, but his heart remained calm.

’With my Talent, it would be more unusual if a Sovereign *didn’t* show up after I entered the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race.’

"Heiya, no one else knows about Kong Yu, correct?" the Dragon Domain Sovereign asked, looking down as its rumbling voice echoed through the void.

"Sovereign, no! The only ones aware of Kong Yu’s existence are three Deities—Xuan Mo and Han Yun among them. The rest are the Emperors and other powerhouses of our race!"

In any race, even the Human Race, Emperors are considered high-ranking officials.

In other words, the existence of Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone was basically known only to the upper echelon of the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race.

They had always longed for a genius to appear in their race, one who would draw the attention of the other Alien Races. But now that one had truly appeared, they unhesitatingly chose to hide him.

The rest of the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race had no idea that an unbelievably monstrous genius had suddenly joined their ranks!

"Good. Kong Yu’s existence is a secret of our race. It must not be leaked!"

The Dragon Domain Sovereign declared.

"Yes, Sovereign." All the Emperors nodded.

Then, the Dragon Domain Sovereign waved its claw, and Li Yang, completely beyond his own control, vanished on the spot.

"The Dragon Domain Sovereign has descended!"

"That’s to be expected. Kong Yu’s Talent is so powerful you could even call it the strongest in the Cosmos. Of course our Sovereign would take it seriously!"

"With Kong Yu’s Talent, it won’t be long before he becomes a top-tier Deity. With a little more progress, he’ll be an Emperor!"

"When Kong Yu becomes an Emperor and the news gets out, the entire Cosmos will probably be shaken to its core!"

"It definitely will! Haha, a monstrous genius of our Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race! Just thinking about that day gets me excited!"

The Dragon Domain Sovereign left, but the Emperors present remained extremely excited, talking amongst themselves.

Before, as news of one monstrous genius after another spread throughout the Cosmos, they had felt incredibly stifled.

But now, their race had finally produced one of their own, and one with such powerful Talent at that!
