Chapter 536 Massive Increase in Strength

The combat boots before him were covered in intricate patterns, faintly radiating a terrifying aura!

A top-tier Sacred Artifact… If a weapon like this were to appear in the outside world, it would undoubtedly spark a mad scramble among Emperors! Even Overlords might make a move!

And now, this top-tier Sacred Artifact belonged to Li Yang.

Without hesitation, Li Yang swiftly sent out his soul, imprinting it upon the pair of combat boots.

BUZZ…

A peculiar ripple emanated from the combat boots as a stream of information flowed into Li Yang’s mind.

“Red Sky Combat Boots. A top-tier Sacred Artifact. Its full power can be unleashed by someone at the powerful Emperor Level…”

This information revealed that even an ordinary Emperor couldn’t fully unleash the power of this terrifying weapon.

At his current level of strength, Li Yang could only activate a tiny fraction of its power. Yet even this sliver of power could increase his speed more than tenfold!

Furthermore, the artifact’s effectiveness would grow with him. As his strength increased, so too would the amount of power he could draw from it.

‘These Red Sky Combat Boots are definitely on par with my Profound Annihilation Spear…’

Elated, Li Yang successfully bound the artifact. With a mere thought, the white combat boots appeared on his feet.

BUZZ…

The white combat boots pulsed faintly before vanishing from sight.

At his current level, Li Yang could already conceal the aura of a Sacred Artifact. Moreover, he possessed a treasure bestowed by the Eternal Ancestor that allowed him to alter his own aura with ease, making it even more effortless to hide the boots’ presence.

“The inheritor has made their selection. This inheritance trial is now concluded!”

The phantom figure noted Li Yang’s choice and spoke in a mechanical voice.

BUZZ…

The six top-tier Sacred Artifacts—items so coveted that the appearance of a single one would drive an Emperor into a frenzy—vanished from before Li Yang’s eyes.

“The inheritor will now be transported out. You may choose your own destination.”

SWOOSH!

A wave of energy washed over Li Yang. His senses suddenly expanded, allowing him to perceive a vast surrounding area, even detecting where living beings were present.

‘I can choose my own destination?’

The master of this super-inheritance site was quite considerate. A large number of powerful cultivators were gathered outside. If a weaker person had managed to enter, they would likely be besieged the moment they came out.

After all, anyone who spent ten years inside was bound to have obtained some treasure.

With this in mind, Li Yang quickly chose a deserted direction. His figure was then forcibly ejected from that space.

When he reappeared, Li Yang found himself in a remote location, far from the super-inheritance site.

“It’s over,” Li Yang said, gazing into the distance.

One moment he was in the inheritance site, the next he was here.

Looking back in the direction of the site, Li Yang couldn’t help but think, ‘I really wish I could go in there one more time.’

But for this super-inheritance site, a person could only enter once, no matter how many Tokens they possessed. It was just a fleeting thought for Li Yang.

If entry weren’t limited, given his rate of progress, he was certain that if he obtained another Token—regardless of its grade—he would be judged a monstrous genius and could obtain another top-tier Sacred Artifact.

But that was clearly impossible.

As he was lost in thought, the phantom of Soul Ink suddenly drifted out.

“Soul Ink, you’re able to come out now?” Li Yang asked with a smile.

“Yes.”

Soul Ink shook his head and said with a helpless sigh, “The master of that super-inheritance site was freakishly powerful. He was definitely among the absolute top tier of the Cosmos’s Creator Ancestors. The residual power in the inheritance site he left behind was enough to completely suppress me.”

He, Soul Ink, was an Overlord at his peak. Even as just a remnant soul relying on the Soul Crystal, suppressing him was no easy feat.

But within that inheritance site, with no one even actively trying, he had been suppressed and forced into a deep slumber.

Shaking his head, Soul Ink turned to Li Yang and asked, “So, how did it go, kid? What did you gain in there? What kind of treasures did you get?”

“My gains?”

Hearing Soul Ink’s question, Li Yang smiled. “The gains were immense. As for treasures, I obtained a top-tier Sacred Artifact.”

He let the power of a Sacred Artifact radiate from the combat boots on his feet.

He then recounted what the phantom figure had said inside the super-inheritance site.

“A top-tier Sacred Artifact?” Hearing this, Soul Ink’s eyes lit up.

He carefully sensed the power emanating from the combat boots on Li Yang’s feet and was overjoyed.

“Haha, kid, your haul this time was truly massive! Even Overlords would be tempted by a top-tier Sacred Artifact, yet you’re only at the World Realm and you already have two of them!” Soul Ink couldn’t help but marvel.

In terms of gear, few could compare to Li Yang.

Li Yang smiled, but there was no trace of arrogance in his expression.

“Let’s go.”

He scanned his surroundings, preparing to fly off.

“So where are you headed, kid?” Soul Ink asked.

With the inheritance trial over, Li Yang no longer had a specific goal on the Slaughter Battlefield.

All that was left was to wander and temper himself.

Li Yang smiled. “To find a remote, deserted place.”

“Oh? To do what?” Soul Ink asked.

“To refine the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood,” Li Yang replied with a smile.

An astonishing light glinted in his eyes.

‘Ten years have passed. I wonder how much more Primordial Dragon Essence Blood I can refine now?’

And why wouldn’t he be able to? The super-inheritance site was even slightly more effective than the inheritance palace in the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall, and a single session in the latter only lasted ten days.

Li Yang had stayed in the super-inheritance site for ten years! Three thousand six hundred and fifty days!

That was the equivalent of entering the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall three hundred and sixty-five times!

One could only imagine how immense his progress had been!

By now, Li Yang had grasped more than half of the third mystery of the Fire Element Law!

He had mastered the second mysteries of both the Space Law and the Time Law and was in the process of comprehending the third!

He had also completely grasped the first mystery of the Dark Law, though he had yet to achieve a breakthrough while inside the inheritance site.

Once he broke through, the overall progress in his comprehension of the laws would be terrifying.

Of course, this immense progress in law comprehension alone didn’t have a major impact on Li Yang’s current combat strength.

However, with greater progress in the laws, he could refine even more Primordial Dragon Essence Blood!

And the Primordial Dragon Essence Blood was the true source of his explosive increase in power!

“Let’s go!”

As he spoke, Li Yang quickly flew to a new location.

The area was utterly desolate, with no other cultivators in sight.

‘Time to break through in the Dark Law!’

The four mysteries of the Dark Law were Dark Domain, Illusory Realm, Void, and Corrosion.

The one Li Yang had been comprehending was the Dark Domain.

With a slight push, he completely mastered the first mystery of the Dark Law. Immediately, the endless Law Origin of the Dark Law descended!

Li Yang absorbed it continuously. After more than an hour, his Dark Law officially broke through.

Now, all of Li Yang’s Five-Element Laws had reached the World Realm!

(Just went through a breakup, not feeling it at all. Sigh, I’ll try to adjust… Thanks to 08a for the 100-coin tip. Thank you.)
