Chapter 746: Chapter 7 The Tenth Realm Inheritance_2
“When I came into contact with a portion of the blood rain, it was an extremely pure form of energy. Just as I was about to absorb it, the towering figure appeared again, leaving behind a phrase.”
“Ninth Realm Blood Beasts extinguished, inheritance revealed!”
“It was after this phrase that the blood rain solidified, a grassland appeared, and countless Blood Beasts were born from the blood rain. However, at their birth, a terrifying malevolence fused into them, ultimately turning them into the current type of Blood Beasts that assist in cultivation but are filled with malevolence.”
That scene from eight thousand years ago left a profound impression on Luo Tian, and he still remembers it vividly to this day.
“Terrifying malevolence… could it be left by an enemy of the Secret Realm Creator?” Wang Sheng had his own speculation.
“It should be so. According to my conjecture, that powerful being from the Tenth Realm won the victory but was also gravely injured, unable to heal from those grievous wounds, only having time left to pass on the inheritance. The Blood Beasts themselves are a trial, but perhaps it is because of the method left inside him by his enemy that caused the Blood Beasts to mutate.”
“If not for that, the Blood Crystal Stones formed by the Blood Beasts wouldn’t contain such malevolence; there would be no restrictions on absorbing them.”
Luo Tian found it to be a pity.
Wang Sheng agreed with his idea, if the Blood Crystals didn’t possess such a violent will, their value for cultivators would have increased manifold.
However, these things were no longer of any use to him at the present.
And he also understood Luo Tian’s purpose.
“By telling me all this, you must want me to join you in dealing with that Ninth Realm Blood Beast, don’t you?”
After hearing the phrase, “Ninth Realm Blood Beasts extinguished, inheritance revealed,” Wang Sheng understood Luo Tian’s true motive.
He wanted to acquire the complete inheritance of the Secret Realm Creator.
However, before that, they needed to kill the Ninth Realm Blood Beast, and he might also not be fully aware of the strength of the Ninth Realm Blood Beast, thus needing more assurances.
“That’s right, exactly.” Luo Tian admitted his objective openly, “Although I have made many preparations, after all, it’s something left by a powerhouse from the Tenth Realm. Alone, I may not be safe, hence, I wanted to invite Daoist to act together.”
“If we successfully defeat the Ninth Realm Blood Beast, the Ninth Realm Blood Crystal can be yours, and we can view the inheritance techniques together.”
It had to be said, the proposal was quite tempting.
Leaving aside other considerations, a single Ninth Realm Blood Crystal definitely contained a wealth of cultivation insights from a Tenth Realm powerhouse.
For an ordinary Ninth Realm individual like Wang Sheng to obtain this alone would be a huge gain.
Not to mention the qualification to view the Tenth Realm inheritance.
This was a hope for reaching higher realms.
Regrettably, Wang Sheng himself was already at the Tenth Realm. He held some desire for these items but not much.
And Luo Tian, observing Wang Sheng, did not think that his proposal would be refused.
After all, it was beneficial for both sides.
However—
“What if I refuse?” Wang Sheng said with a smile.
“Daoist, cooperation benefits us both. If the two of us start contending, regardless of who wins or loses, facing the Ninth Realm Blood Beast in the end might not lead to a good outcome.”
Wang Sheng nodded, Luo Tian’s point made a lot of sense.
But,
“Your thoughts are correct, if there were no such thing as worlds opposing each other under the Starry Sky Rules, I would be very willing to cooperate with you. But our two worlds, sooner or later, will become enemies. If I give you the inheritance, then I would be setting up a formidable opponent.”
He indeed was a Tenth Realm cultivator, but that didn’t mean he was going to let a potential future enemy develop freely.
“Who can say for sure about the future? Besides, both of us obtaining the inheritance gives you a chance too,” Luo Tian continued persuading, really not wanting to face defeating a powerful Ninth Realm opponent before dealing with the Blood Beast.
“Then can Daoist share the things you obtained eight thousand years ago?”
“…” Luo Tian fell silent again, only continuing after a while, “Do you really want to contest this matter?”
Clearly, the things obtained eight thousand years ago were crucial for the final inheritance; he couldn’t possibly give them up.
This was also why he was confident in letting Wang Sheng join, otherwise he would have struck much earlier without any delay.
“Our two worlds are already connected through the Secret Realm, even though we are not in the same region, conflicts will arise sooner or later as long as the Secret Realm exists. Let’s settle the victory or defeat now!”
Originally, he still wanted to slowly but steadily reach for the peak of the world, but since breaking through to the Tenth Realm, some of his plans could change.
Of course, the inheritance was still the most crucial thing.
He had to obtain everything and verify certain matters.
“Of course, if Daoist Luo Tian is willing to hand over everything related to the inheritance, this battle can be avoided. You’re not my match, Daoist Luo Tian.”
He sounded very much like a villain, but for his purpose, it no longer mattered.
Besides, he really wanted to have a battle with a powerful Ninth Realm opponent.
Otherwise, he could have completely feigned compliance.
Just that he was unwilling to do so.
Luo Tian sighed and said, “Daoist friend, let’s make a journey through the starry sky.”
This was a call to battle.
Wang Sheng did not refuse, and together they walked out of the Secret Realm.
Neither side hesitated, and various Divine Skills were unleashed in the starry sky, causing the colors to change and the stars to tremble, seemingly on the verge of collapse.
Both revealed their true forms, obliterating everything in their path.
Wang Sheng was merely an incarnation, on the repressed side, using Divine Skills born from a Divine Weapon to buy time.
Luo Tian showed no mercy, using his strongest technique, a pitch-black staff that seemed to shatter heaven and earth, tearing everything apart.
All the damage to the incarnation resulted from this.
The battle lasted for several days.
Right at the start of the fight, Wang Sheng saw more details.
“So it is, the mysterious energy in the Secret Realm stems from the cultivation system of a Tenth Realm powerhouse—this unique energy can suppress an enemy’s strength… Daoist Luo Tian, your suppressive force is not as mighty as the energy in the Secret Realm.”
Luo Tian had received the inheritance of the Tenth Realm, and exploded with energy identical to that in the Secret Realm, which Wang Sheng saw through.
“Daoist, you have good insight. I indeed can’t match the energy of a Tenth Realm powerhouse, but even so, it should still be uncomfortable for you, right?”
Luo Tian was unconcerned; the truly terrifying aspect of this energy had not yet fully manifested.
Three days later, Wang Sheng was completely suppressed.
A part of the energy within his body was suppressed by Luo Tian’s special energy, making it difficult to use his full power.
This was also related to being just an incarnation, not only unimproved before breakthrough, lacking stronger celestial power but also unable to amplify the Qi-Blood with Primordial Spirit Power, being suppressed by the special Tenth Realm energy was to be expected.
However, Wang Sheng also discovered more.
“The entire Secret Realm is an inheritance, energies in different areas of the Secret Realm increasing in intensity from the outer edge to the core, progressively and intentionally allowing one to comprehend—perhaps comprehending this energy could also grant the inheritance.”
While he pondered this, Luo Tian swung his staff down again.
He knew, if this continued, victory was assured.
“Daoist friend, you shouldn’t be distracted during battle.”
Wang Sheng narrowly dodged the blow, but was still affected by Luo Tian’s special energy, becoming even more suppressed.
“Daoist friend, I fear your incarnation is no match for me, and your true body is still far away, why not disperse by yourself?”
“Daoist Luo Tian is indeed powerful; even an incomplete inheritance of the Tenth Realm is remarkable, but there is one thing you might have miscalculated…” Wang Sheng was not concerned about being suppressed.
He had anticipated this outcome from the beginning.
Merely an incarnation, it was not simple to overcome a formidable Ninth Realm opponent like Luo Tian.
His real trump card was the impending arrival of his Tenth Realm incarnation.
Normally, traveling from the Cultivator World to the Secret Realm would take about a year.
But after breaking through to the Tenth Realm, it would only take a few days.
The formidable power allows him to tear through space in the starry sky and travel without regarding the risks.
Soon, the Tenth Realm incarnation would arrive.
Seeing Wang Sheng’s unconcerned demeanor, Luo Tian had an ominous premonition.
“Nothing can change the outcome.”
He intensified his assault.
Yet, under this barrage, Wang Sheng still persisted for two days.
“You’ve lost!” Luo Tian stood in front of the incarnation.
It was a great pressure for him; taking so long to defeat just an incarnation, he could imagine how powerful Wang Sheng’s true body was.
Yet ultimately, he had won, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Unfortunately, no matter what, it was in vain.
He was well aware that even for a Ninth Realm, it would take a long time to travel from the Cultivator World here, and it was clear that Wang Sheng had been cultivating in his own world before this.
Even if he had intended to rush here, it was completely too late!
Wang Sheng did not mind, but instead smiled:
“My task for this incarnation is over, let the next one take over!”
As soon as he spoke, space was directly torn apart, and a figure appeared that made Luo Tian feel like he was transported back 8,000 years.
He felt that sense of powerlessness once again…
