Chapter 532: Choosing a Sacred Artifact

Just as Li Yang arrived at the periphery of this super inheritance ground.

BOOM! BOOM!

Suddenly, two streams of rock erupted beside Li Yang, hurtling straight toward him.

At the same time, two sharp, rock-like projectiles aimed squarely for his throat.

The attack was astonishingly fast, reaching Li Yang in a near instant.

A slightly weaker Deity would likely have been killed instantly, unable to put up any resistance.

Seeing the incoming attack, Li Yang’s expression darkened.

“You’re courting death!!!”

He instantly brandished the longspear in his hand.

BANG! BANG!

With two dull thuds, the sharp stone projectiles were sent flying.

‘This is bad! The newcomer is strong. That attack was nearly at the level of a Four-Element Deity!’

‘We’re no match for him!’

‘Stop attacking! Let’s go!’

When the two experts from the Black Stone Race saw their ambush so easily thwarted, their expressions changed slightly.

Without the slightest hesitation, they turned and fled, not lingering for a single moment.

Their ambush had failed. Seeing that their opponent was stronger, they immediately fled… The two experts from the Black Stone Race were clearly incredibly cautious!

This was, in fact, the correct way to operate on the Slaughter Battlefield!

‘Two Tri-System Deities?’ Li Yang thought as he watched the two fleeing Black Stone Race experts, his eyes narrowing slightly.

They were clearly Tri-System Deities, but their treasures weren’t as good as his. He could catch them if he gave chase.

But Li Yang didn’t pursue them.

It would take him more than ten minutes to wear down and kill a single Tri-System Deity, let alone two of them.

The inheritance ground was right in front of him, and he wasn’t about to waste any time.

Besides, there were surely other experts lurking in the area, not just those from the Black Stone Race.

As if to prove Li Yang’s point…

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Following the clash between Li Yang and the two Black Stone Race experts, waves of powerful auras radiated from the distance as one expert after another emerged.

“Those two from the Black Stone Race made their move?”

“Is that a stranger at the super inheritance ground? Does he have an Inheritance Token? Is he here for the inheritance?”

“I’m not sure, but it’s highly likely.”

“He easily repelled the attack from those two from the Black Stone Race. The newcomer’s strength must be close to a Four-Element Deity!”

The expressions of these individuals flickered. They didn’t attack, but they began to move closer.

If Li Yang had shown any weakness, they would have attacked without hesitation.

But the strength Li Yang had displayed completely surpassed their own, so naturally, they dared not act rashly.

“Greetings, expert of the Human Race. Might I ask if you possess an Inheritance Token? If you’re willing to trade, I can promise you a satisfactory price.”

“Human expert, I wish to trade for your Inheritance Token, whatever your terms may be! I have a wealth of treasures.”

…

Voice after voice called out, all directed at Li Yang.

Li Yang glanced around. To think that so many experts were lurking around the perimeter of this super inheritance ground, all of them at the level of Tri-System Deities.

‘Soul Ink was right. A weaker person arriving here would most likely be killed and have their Inheritance Token stolen.’

Watching the Deities close in, Li Yang’s expression grew tense.

If he had been weak, the two Deities from the Black Stone Race would have successfully killed him as he approached the inheritance ground and taken the Token.

Then, the Black Stone Race Deities would have taken the Token and entered the inheritance ground directly.

Lying in wait… it was indeed an excellent way to acquire an Inheritance Token.

With these thoughts in mind, Li Yang gave the surrounding crowd, who were eager to trade, a cold glance. He ignored them all and flew straight ahead.

BUZZ…

As he entered the area of the super inheritance ground, the Token he carried suddenly began to pulse with energy.

The void around him shimmered, and a fluctuation of the Space Law enveloped Li Yang.

WHOOSH!

Then, Li Yang’s figure vanished without a trace.

“That expert from the Human Race is gone!”

“So he really did have an Inheritance Token!”

“I wonder what grade it was.”

Seeing Li Yang vanish, the expressions of these Deities shifted.

A super inheritance ground meticulously crafted by a Creator Ancestor of the Cosmos was right before their very eyes. Who among them wouldn’t want to enter?

They lay in wait, hoping a weak inheritor would stumble upon them.

But after waiting for so long, one had finally arrived, only for him to be overwhelmingly powerful!

After all, Inheritance Tokens weren’t necessarily obtained by the strong; more often than not, it was the weak who chanced upon them.

On the Slaughter Battlefield, after all, it was estimated that less than one percent of the combatants had reached the level of a Four-Element Deity or higher.

“Who was that expert from the Human Race? With power rivaling a Four-Element Deity, how could I not know of him?”

Four-Element Deities were considered top-tier experts on the Slaughter Battlefield. Every single one was famous; it was impossible for one to be unknown.

“I don’t recognize him either. Is he a newly emerged expert from the Human Race?”

“I don’t believe for a second that he only just entered the Slaughter Battlefield with that much power! Could he be another expert from the Human Race in disguise?”

“With so many of us here, none of us saw through any disguise. If it was a disguise, the artifact used must be incredibly high-level! At least at the Emperor Level. Say… you don’t think it could be the human, Li Yang, in disguise, do you?”

“Jun Han, has your obsession with killing the human Li Yang driven you mad? It’s been less than ten years at most since Li Yang entered the Slaughter Battlefield, and that man just now had power approaching a Four-Element Deity! You think the human Li Yang has that kind of power?”

“I agree, it’s impossible! Who could improve that much in just a few short years?”

“It was just a thought.”

The voices rose and then quickly fell silent again.

The Deity named Jun Han had no idea that he had just unintentionally guessed Li Yang’s true identity.

But given the short amount of time, absolutely no one believed that Li Yang’s strength could have reached such a level.

…

BUZZ…

Li Yang felt a tremor pass through him, and then he found himself in a vast, open space.

“I’m finally in!”

A look of joy was evident in Li Yang’s eyes as he surveyed his surroundings.

Before him were fourteen entrances, each one radiating a different type of fluctuation.

Some entrances radiated a dark aura, while others gave off a scorching heat.

“Dark Law, Fire Element Law, Space Law, Thunder Law…”

Li Yang could clearly sense the fluctuations of the five Laws he had comprehended.

‘Are these the inheritance entrances for each of the Laws?’ Li Yang wondered, sensing them.

“Welcome to the Inheritance Space!”

Just then, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in Li Yang’s mind. A blurry, spectral figure then coalesced before him and gazed at him.

“The inheritor possesses a red Token and may receive the second-grade inheritance. Duration: ten years. Treasures will be awarded based on the inheritor’s progress.”

Looking at the spectral figure, Li Yang’s mind stirred, and he asked, “What kinds of treasures are available as rewards?”

The spectral figure seemed to possess some form of consciousness, as it stared intently at him.

Hearing his question, the spectral figure actually responded, “Progress is divided into four tiers: Normal, Genius, Formidable Genius, and Monstrous Genius. Reaching the Formidable Genius tier allows you to choose one top-tier Divine Artifact. Upon reaching the Monstrous Genius tier, you may choose one Sacred Artifact or other treasures…”
