Chapter 966 - 482: Inheritance Land Will Open
Chapter 966: Chapter 482: Inheritance Land Will Open
Mountains towered high and the land spread wide, canyons intersecting with disarrayed peaks, ancient trees reached for the skies, vines cascading from their robust branches, rich in verdure.
Pure-blood ancient birds nested above, constructing their abodes with Silver Grass that sparkled like golden light, and the stone-sized eggs, densely covered in runes, emitted powerful fluctuations, birthing chicks with terrifying gifts inside.
Dozens of yards long, a python slithered like a vine around an ancient tree, slowly making its way to a massive nest at the top, its dark eyes flickering with greed.
On the ground, thick layers of fallen leaves piled up like mountains, while a bucket-thick centipede scurried across them, sporadically creating rustling sounds.
Suddenly, a gaping maw opened widely, its tongue shooting out like an arrow, swiftly coiling around the golden yellow centipede’s midsection, forcibly pulling it in to be devoured.
This land housed many ferocious birds, preying and slaughtering each other. Ordinary raptors or cultivators venturing in could easily find themselves dead without a trace.
Lu Yun traveled through these woods, stepping on the thick bed of leaves, the cacophony of crunching sounds beneath his feet continuous.
He did not tread lightly or cautiously, releasing his potent blood energy and astounding Divine Dawn without any reservations, drawing the attention of hidden predators.
Here, there were no foreign tribes, no way to obtain Luck Value, so he directed his focus towards these fierce beasts and birds to enhance the grade of his Blood Slaughter Thunder Blade.
On his way, Lu Yun had slain more than a dozen fierce birds, their strength at least in the True Spirit Realm, thus gaining massive Luck Value.
“Quack!”
Suddenly, a thunderous noise erupted in the distance, causing one’s blood to churn.
Lu Yun looked over, seeing a golden toad in the distance, not very large, about the size of a massive boulder, its body cast in gold, shining brilliantly.
With a single gulp, it swallowed a menacing centipede, showing formidable strength superior to the creatures Lu Yun had previously slain.
His gaze shifted slightly, murmuring to himself, “This toad’s strength is at least above the fourth tier of True Spirit Realm, slaying it should grant a considerable Luck Value.”
“Whoosh!”
Just as Lu Yun was about to act, intense fluctuations burst forth in the sky, a silver streak dived down, striking directly at the egg-stealing python.
“Whoosh…”
Gales howled as the silver giant bird dived, the windstorms it stirred snapped all the ancient trees in the area.
Under the immense pressure of the silver giant bird, the various beasts lurking nearby scattered and fled.
The python that had just swallowed the giant egg also attempted to escape, but its speed was no match for the giant bird and it was quickly caught.
Its talons like silver hooks, glittering coldly, firmly gripped the python’s midsection, followed by a fierce peck, biting down on the python’s vitals.
As the python struggled vigorously, trees within a radius of several miles broke, affecting even the weaker beasts who were slow to escape.
“It’s a pity to let go of a True Spirit Realm level fierce beast just like that.”
Lu Yun’s figure flickered, vanishing from his spot. Accompanied by intense flashes of Thunder, an unmatched Blade Aura slashed across the sky, submerging the silver giant bird that had tightly clamped the python, causing its head, huge as a small hill, to fall and roll on the ground covered with dry yellow leaves.
With its mortal enemy slain, the python did not feel the slightest bit of joy and hurriedly fled.
The sudden appearance of the cultivator was too terrifying; both its Physical Body and Soul trembled.
“Die!”
Lu Yun marched forward dominantly. Stepping on the python’s head, he released his Divine Power, exploding its head, causing blood to splatter and the snake’s life force to cease as its enormous body gradually stopped struggling.
“Quack!”
The golden toad also sensed the danger right away, its mountain-like body racing through the woods, leaping hundreds of feet.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Lu Yun’s eyes slightly squinted, a trace of a smile playing at his lips.
Without any visible action from him, the Great Sun Treasure Bottle suddenly appeared mid-air, countless runes materialized, transforming into streams of fire seeds, flying towards the golden toad.
Fire blazed; the scorching Sea of Fire soon engulfed the toad.
In just a few short moments, the toad’s life force was severed, its body too turning to ashes.
“The power of this Great Sun Treasure Bottle is truly durable,” Lu Yun’s eyes gleamed, twirling a nail-sized bottle densely covered in Talisman Restrictions in his hand.
When he had battled fiercely with the Divine Fire Ancestor, he had experienced the potency of its fire seed. Although extremely powerful, it couldn’t pose a fatal threat to him.
Now, by merely releasing a portion of the fire seed, he had easily eradicated a gold toad comparable to the fourth tier of the True Spirit Realm.
The value and might of the Great Sun Treasure Bottle were indeed beyond expectations.
He glanced at his panel.
“Not even four million Luck Value, I still need to strive harder.”
This deadly land was abundant with fierce beasts, many of which were powerful beings. He had sensed several creatures not weaker than the peak of the True Spirit Realm but chose not to provoke them.
Of course, those powerful beings, upon sensing Lu Yun’s formidable aura, chose not to act rashly either.
For these creatures, as long as one doesn’t intrude into their territories, they would not casually engage with an equally formidable enemy.
Lu Yun was the same; without sufficient benefit, he did not want to waste too much time battling powerful creatures.
Plundering Luck Values, those fierce birds and beasts that were not too weak yet not too strong were the optimal choice.
Thus, time slowly passed, and Lu Yun was in this desolate area, killing fierce beasts for Luck Values while gathering various spirit herbs.
This forsaken land was abundant with fierce birds, various creatures, and precious spirit herbs—even Emperor-grade spiritual medicines were not rare.
That was also the reason Lu Yun did not want to leave for the time being.
Not to mention enhancing the Blood Slaughter Thunder Blade, the increase in future cultivation levels would also require a massive amount of Divine Power Value. He wouldn’t leave easily without making a good fortune.
As the Luck Value surged, the spirit herbs in his Cave Heavens also started piling up more and more.
After half a month, he finally left that desolate land, with his Luck Value reaching a massive ten million, his eyes blood-red, and his body stained with overwhelming blood qi.
From afar, countless creatures were driven to flee everywhere, as if encountering a peerless slaughter star.
“What a pity to leave such a good place,” Lu Yun looked back with some reluctance, reluctant to leave such a perfect place for harvesting Luck Values and spirit herbs.
Just recently, he had stumbled upon a shocking piece of news: the Inheritance Land at the core of the Heavenly End Secret Realm was about to open.
To enter the Inheritance Land, one not only had to be younger than a hundred years old but also needed to obtain a Jade Talisman.
There were only three thousand six hundred and fifty-six Jade Talismans, which had shot out from the Inheritance Land a few days ago, flying towards every corner of the Heavenly End Secret Realm.
The number of cultivators entering the Secret Realm was immense, not less than a million, and those under a hundred years old were at least in the hundreds of thousands.
With so many Heavenly Prides competing for three thousand six hundred and fifty-six Jade Talismans, the intensity was evident.
A few days later, Lu Yun came to a group of lakes and saw many remnants.
Beautiful mountains had been blasted apart, lake clusters drained, and everywhere lay corpses along with fragments of Dao Weapons and spirit weapons.
“How tragic, some peerless Heavenly Prides have been heavily damaged and slain.”
“People’s hearts are treacherous, those old fellows are indeed detestable.”
It was a conspiracy; someone deliberately spread the information about the Jade Talismans, leading the young Heavenly Prides to fight and compete.
According to the cultivators’ speculation, the planners were several old True Spirit Realm powerhouses who attracted the young Heavenly Prides to seize their opportunities.
The Heavenly End Secret Realm had been open for several years, and every surviving cultivator had collected a large amount of spirit herbs, and even more, obtained world-shocking inheritances and opportunities.
Those old fellows had cunning methods.
“I just missed a big show,” thought Lu Yun, with his current combat power, he had nearly no opponents in the True Spirit Realm and feared no one.
A few days later, the real Jade Talismans appeared, and more than a dozen emerged at once; a fierce blood battle erupted.
Lu Yun was quite regretful; he had barely missed one of them, arriving just after the battle had ended, with the Jade Talisman nowhere to be found.
However, he soon let it go, as he ventured into the territory of a peerless fierce beast and discovered an Emperor-level spiritual medicine, the Vajra Blood Grass.
The Vajra Blood Grass was entirely golden yellow, three feet tall, its leaves’ vein-like blood vessels contained blood-red juice.
This Vajra Blood Grass had extremely high value in body refining; if refined into Vajra Pills or Vajra Liquid, its effects were even greater.
However, the most ideal way was to use the Primordial Cauldron to smelt it into high-quality Primordial Liquid, quenching the Imperishable Golden Bones to unleash its true value.
Boom!
The Primordial Cauldron appeared from the Cave Heavens, its contents—the Golden Body Liquid refined from the essence of sun and moon and Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi—swirled like ocean water, brimming with dense energy.
Lu Yun circulated the Great Sun Undying Golden Body Manual and started the Refinement.
The quenching progress of the fourth Imperishable Golden Bone reached eighty-three percent. After completely refining the liquid in the cauldron, the progress reached about eighty-five percent.
“Let’s see how effective this Vajra Blood Grass is.”
Lu Yun’s eyes flickered as he placed the Vajra Blood Grass into the cauldron, activating his Divine Power. The Talisman Restrictions inside the cauldron radiated dazzling light, and a mysterious fluctuation emerged.
Then, the Vajra Blood Grass was gradually refined and finally condensed into seven drops of Primordial Liquid.
These drops of Primordial Liquid were of very high grade; each contained tremendous energy, instantly enriching the surrounding Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi when they appeared.
Besides, these drops of Primordial Liquid were especially heavy, each as heavy as ten thousand catties.
He began quenching.
An hour later, the quenching of the fourth Imperishable Golden Bone was completed.
In the Primordial Cauldron, four drops of golden yellow liquid sparkled with dazzling light.
“Indeed, the Primordial Liquids refined from Emperor-level Vajra Blood Grass, just a single drop is comparable to half a cauldron of Golden Body Liquid!”
Lu Yun’s eyes shone with golden light, his body radiating Divine Dawn.
