Chapter 534: Li Yang Exits Seclusion

Seeing Mixed Void flee, the two Demon Race experts were not dismayed.

“Report this immediately! We’ve found the whereabouts of the human, Mixed Void!”

“Damn that Mixed Void! He only broke through to the World Realm a little over a decade ago, and now he can actually injure us. He’s several times more powerful than even Tri-System Deities!”

“The clan will surely issue an order to hunt down and kill the human, Mixed Void!”

“That’s right! The Slaughter Battlefield has no Space Teleportation Arrays. The human, Mixed Void, is somewhere in this region. As long as we surround him, there’s no way he can escape!”

As they spoke, the two Demon Race experts immediately reported the news up their chain of command.

…

At the heart of the Demon Race’s operations, in the domain of Wilderness—the giant demon snake tasked with assassinating geniuses from other races.

“You say you’ve discovered the whereabouts of the human, Mixed Void, on the Slaughter Battlefield?” the giant demon snake asked the beast below in a deep voice.

For more than a decade, they had been hunting for the geniuses of the Human Race.

Throughout the Cosmos, among the ten great races possessing a Creator Ancestor, the Demon Race and the Human Race were the strongest. Thus, the demons were the most eager to kill human geniuses, determined to prevent the Human Race from growing any stronger.

Currently, they were scouring the Slaughter Battlefield for two humans in particular: Li Yang and Mixed Void.

“Yes, Lord Wilderness,” the demon beast below reported hurriedly. “That human powerhouse had an unfamiliar face, but he used the Void Annihilation Sword Skill—the most powerful attack of the human Mixed Void. So, it’s highly likely that powerhouse is Mixed Void in disguise!”

“So he’s finally been found!”

Hearing this, Wilderness spoke in a deep voice. His face, however, held no excitement—only a grim darkness. “Damn it. In just over a decade, Mixed Void’s power has grown to the point where he can easily injure Tri-System Deities!”

‘According to our previous estimates, humans like Li Yang and Mixed Void, even with the help of treasures, should have power only slightly surpassing a Dual Pantheon at best. It was supposed to be impossible for them to become a hundred times stronger and reach the level of Tri-System Deities!’

‘And yet, Mixed Void actually did it!’

‘The human Mixed Void must not be allowed to live! His threat is even greater than that of the human Li Yang!’

Previously, Li Yang had been considered the greater threat, but now, in their eyes, Mixed Void had surpassed him.

‘In a little over a decade… Even if Mixed Void is relying on some treasures, those treasures have limits. External artifacts can boost one’s strength by about tenfold at most.’

‘For Mixed Void to now be capable of severely injuring Tri-System Deities with ease… one can only imagine the terrifying pace of his progress over the last ten-plus years!’

“Lord Wilderness, what are your orders?” the demon beast below asked hastily.

“Pass down my orders,” Wilderness commanded in a deep voice. “Begin cordoning off the area where the human, Mixed Void, was last seen. Search it inch by inch!”

“Furthermore, spread the news. Let the other races know of the human Mixed Void’s whereabouts. Let them join us in hunting him down!”

The other races would, of course, be just as eager to eliminate a peerless genius of the Human Race.

Wilderness’s eyes were filled with killing intent. ‘He reached this stage in just over a decade. If we give the human Mixed Void more time, what realm will he attain?’

‘Four-Element Deities? Five Elemental Deities? Or even… an Emperor?’

‘By then, it would be too late.’

“Yes, Lord Wilderness!” the demon beast below replied respectfully and immediately left to carry out the orders.

…

As Wilderness’s orders were carried out, news of Mixed Void spread like wildfire, sending shockwaves through the Cosmos.

“The Demon Race has sent out news! They’ve found the whereabouts of that monstrous human genius, Mixed Void! He now has the power to severely injure Tri-System Deities with ease!”

“Gods, how is that possible? How old is he?”

“Mixed Void only broke through to the World Realm a bit over a decade ago, and his total cultivation time is under a century!”

“Insane! How can his rate of progress be so fast!”

“If he keeps improving at this rate, he could become an Emperor in no time!”

“The human Li Yang, the Thunder Star Beast prodigy Mu Xuan, and other monstrous geniuses from races like the Fire Nether Divine Beast… none of them can hold a candle to Mixed Void!”

“Exactly! Even if Li Yang, Mu Xuan, and the others progress at lightning speed, they could never reach this level in such a short time!”

“Kill him! He must be killed before he’s fully grown!”

“The Demon Race has already sent word. They’re preparing to form an alliance with the other major races to hunt down Mixed Void together!”

…

The spread of the news clearly caused a massive stir.

Mere Star Lord Realm or World Realm cultivators were not typically a concern for the Alien Races. However, power on the level of Deities was something very few would dare to ignore.

And here was the human, Mixed Void, who in less than a hundred years had attained power surpassing that of Tri-System Deities. Such geniuses were incredibly rare, countable on one hand throughout the endless ages of the Cosmos.

Every single one who managed to reach their full potential became an existence of supreme power!

…

「Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon Race.」

The Dragon Region Dominator’s expression was placid. “Oh? So the human, Mixed Void, has power exceeding that of Tri-System Deities?”

Despite learning of such a genius, the Dragon Region Dominator’s face held no trace of envy.

“Passable. This human, Mixed Void, is quite good,” the Dragon Region Dominator said indifferently. “A pity that compared to our Kong Yu, there’s simply no contest! With Kong Yu’s strength, he could annihilate this Mixed Void in an instant!”

For the past ten years, he had been personally monitoring Kong Yu’s growth. Kong Yu’s current power was far greater than it had been a decade prior!

His rate of progress was so fast it had even astonished the Dominator himself!

…

「Thunder Star Beast Race.」

“Haha, so he cultivated for a hundred years and can injure Tri-System Deities, and it causes this much of an uproar? It’s driven all those other races into a frenzy to hunt down the human, Mixed Void.”

The Ancient Remains Dominator’s face was a mask of nonchalance.

‘If they knew that our prodigy, Mu Xuan, could have easily matched the current human, Mixed Void, ten years ago if he had wanted to, I wonder what their expressions would be?’

‘And these past ten years have been the period of Mu Xuan’s most rapid advancement.’

The Ancient Remains Dominator was completely unconcerned, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction.

‘Ten years ago, if they had given Mu Xuan a treasure that provides an explosive boost in power, like a Divine Crystal Stone, he too could have easily inflicted serious injuries on Tri-System Deities!’

‘And now, Mu Xuan’s power has reached an even more astounding level!’

…

The Slaughter Battlefield was in an uproar over the news of Mixed Void. Meanwhile, inside the supreme inheritance ground, Li Yang was still silently receiving his legacy.

Before him, a small black sphere pulsed with strange fluctuations.

As Li Yang watched, the small black sphere seemed to transform into the glint of a spear, its form constantly evolving before his very eyes.

With each evolution, his understanding of the esoteric principles of the Dark Law deepened.

Li Yang watched, completely oblivious to the passage of time.

BUZZ…

Just then, a peculiar fluctuation enveloped him, and a mechanical voice rang out directly inside his mind.

“Inheritance period complete.”

SWOOSH!

After the voice spoke, Li Yang’s figure was instantly transported out of the dark space.
