Chapter 549: Mount Xu Jin
Chapter 549: Mount Xu Jin
In the Human Territory, a young man with a buzz cut and a stern expression gazed towards the extraterritorial battlefield, a war blade slung across his back. "Transcender 'Cinder'? I put my faith only in the blade I hold, but to have a place to test our skills against other Fifth-Tier and even Sixth-Tier Lawmasters is indeed a welcome opportunity."
He transformed into a streak of light and swiftly vanished into the vast universe, leaving behind a trail of black holes in his wake.
...
In the Insectoid Territory, white hairs spanned the cosmos, connecting various planets. At the center of this web of white hair sat an old man with white hair and wrinkled skin. His eyes, when opened, revealed insect-like compound eyes.
"Cinder's Secret Realm..."
"It's time to harvest another batch of top-quality slaves. I wonder if my current soul cultivation can dominate a Fifth-Tier Lawmaster."
The old man with white hair and wrinkled skin slowly rose, causing the countless white hairs to curl back instantly. At the ends of these hairs were formidable powerhouses, all of them Lawmaster Realm experts! As far as the eye could see, there were no fewer than a thousand of them. With over a thousand Lawmasters, even if they were only at the first or second stage of the Lawmaster Realm, once they formed an array, even Fourth-Tier and Fifth-Tier Lawmasters would retreat in haste.
At this moment, these Lawmasters, whether human, beast, or energy-based life forms, were arranged in an orderly manner, like a well-drilled army, surrounding the old man with white hair and insect-like eyes as they headed towards the extraterritorial battlefield...
...
In the extraterritorial battlefield, a blood-red mountain sped by.
Suddenly, the Blood Mountain stopped, revealing Fang Xing's figure.
"This..."
He looked towards the coordinates that should have been the entrance to the secret realm, his face filled with awe.
Beneath the boundless starry sky, he saw a three-headed, six-armed giant sitting in meditation. A massive galaxy vortex swirled beneath the giant, like a meditation cushion, and on each of the giant's fingers seemed to be a planet. Countless powerful beings cultivated and prayed there, bestowing infinite wisdom, courage, and insight upon the giant...
"Alright, Lawmasters of the Starry Civilization, gather before me..."
A sword-shaped spaceship approached, and from it emerged a giant clad in a white robe.
His entire being exuded boundless Sword Qi, and his very presence seemed to embody the essence of the Sword Dao.
"Greetings, Lord Wan Jian!"
The Lawmasters bowed in respect.
"Indeed. What you see before you is an incarnation of our Starry Civilization's Eternal, Lord Hanssen!"
Lord Wan Jian had a sword scar between his eyebrows, and he spoke calmly, "After the Transcender's Secret Realm appeared, the three Eternals left their Eternal Marks at the entrance... However, directly observing the Insectoid Queen's and the Primordial Beast's Eternal Marks would be harmful to you... Therefore, Lord Hanssen has revealed an incarnation to shield the other two Eternal Marks..."
Fang Xing stood among the Lawmasters, listening patiently. Occasionally, he scanned the crowd and noticed that both Reid and Green Tower were there, their expressions filled with excitement.
"Lord Wan Jian, is it possible that even those in the Eternal Realm cannot forcefully enter the secret realm?"
One of the Lawmasters asked in disbelief.
"Of course not," Lord Wan Jian affirmed. "The secret realm left behind by a Transcender is beyond our imagination."
Lord Wan Jian provided a reassuring response, "The fact that you Lawmasters can enter now is an unparalleled opportunity. Considering that high-tier Lawmasters have nearly perfected their understanding of the Great Dao, it is the lower-tier Lawmasters who possess greater potential for growth. Therefore, the Starry Civilization has gathered you here to venture into the secret realm and test your luck. This is also a form of opportunity. Additionally, the Starry Civilization has already deployed millions of Twelfth Realm soldiers into the secret realm, but as of now, there has been no success..."
"Now, you can enter the secret realm... Remember, the Cinder's Secret Realm is extremely dangerous, and you will face the Lawmasters from the other two peak civilizations..."
"Although you can be resurrected if you die, if too many of you perish, the waiting time for resurrection will be unpredictable..."
Lord Wan Jian had one more thing to say. Although they had attempted it a few times, they found that Lawmasters who perished in the secret realm could be revived.
However, there might be special regions within the secret realm where death meant permanent demise!
After all, one should never underestimate the methods left behind by a Transcender.
Furthermore, even the ability to resurrect Lawmasters who died in the secret realm might be an act of mercy from the Transcender 'Cinder'.
"Thank you, Lord Wan Jian, for your explanation. We understand the gravity of the situation."
The Lawmasters bowed respectfully and then flew towards the meditating three-headed, six-armed giant.
Fang Xing estimated that there were indeed quite a few Lawmasters who had gathered here.
Perhaps every available Lawmaster in the Starry Civilization without other tasks had come.
Just then, he sensed something and saw a red line approaching, transforming into a handsome Lawmaster.
"Blood Prison God Emperor!"
Fang Xing was startled by this sight.
"Haha... Blood Prison, you've finally arrived!"
Lord Wan Jian was delighted to have another Fifth-Tier Lawmaster, increasing their chances of obtaining the inheritance, "Quickly, go inside."
The Blood Prison God Emperor scanned the area with his thoughts and noticed Fang Xing, but he acted as if he didn't recognize him. He flew towards the Eternal's incarnation and bowed respectfully.
Whoosh!
The red line then rushed into the chest area of the incarnation.
There, a Swastika mark was visible, and when the red line touched it, it disappeared, presumably transported directly into the secret realm.
"The Blood Hell Divine Emperor is no ordinary being, judging by the attitude of the Ten Thousand Sword Dao Master... However, he should be solely focused on the inheritance..."
Fang Xing sighed inwardly and flew towards the Swastika symbol.
Boom!
As he passed through the entrance of the secret realm, he finally saw the side that was blocked by the Eternal Incarnation.
It was an enormous beast and a massive blood-colored beehive-like object.
At this moment, they were both enveloped in a layer of golden light, appearing hazy.
Whoosh!
Before Fang Xing could react, he found himself in a random location within the secret realm, gazing upon an endless starry sky.
"A random teleportation?"
Fang Xing quickly oriented himself and immediately rode on Blood Mountain, heading towards the Ash Continent.
Previously, many Lawmasters who entered the secret realm were like blind flies, slowly scouring at the speed of light, relying on detection equipment to search for treasures.
Now that the inheritance has appeared, with a clear goal, they can rush forward at full speed.
...
"According to the shared map in the Taixu Universe, I'm currently in the 'D43' area, not too far from the Ash Continent... I'll have to pass through two dangerous areas, one is 'Xujing Mountain' and the other is 'Kongliu River'..."
He quickly scanned through the 69th chapter of the book.
"Along the way, there's no doubt I'll encounter Lawmasters from the other two peak races, and battles are bound to happen..."
"Perfect, I can test my current combat strength and some new secret techniques..."
"However, I shouldn't be too hasty... The perception of time for those above the Lawmaster Realm is completely different from ordinary people, let alone those in the Eternal and Transcender Realms... An inheritance might last for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years... I'm not even two hundred years old yet, so I can't truly comprehend it..."
...
Xujing Mountain.
This was a new-colored peak, appearing somewhat illusory.
What was even more terrifying was that both sides of the mountain were engulfed by the Xujing Extinction Flow.
The Xujing Extinction River flowed majestically, and Xujing Mountain seemed like a 'bridge' within it, with no other path to cross.
After all, the Xujing Extinction Flow was capable of destroying the body of a fifth-tier Lawmaster!
At this moment, on the narrow peak of Xujing Mountain, several Lawmasters were engaged in fierce combat.
"Following the Empress's orders, we're guarding each intersection, trying to weaken the reinforcements of the human race and the beast race..."
A bug race with a body resembling a praying mantis waved its arms.
Its arms were like blades, and each wave was empowered by the complete Wind Law, making them incredibly sharp and capable of slicing through any defensive law.
Even more frightening was that beside this mantis-like bug race, there were also famous human and beast Lawmasters guarding it.
"Damn it..."
Under the combined efforts of several Lawmasters, a snow-white, two-headed leopard-like beast cried out, both heads wailing in unison.
A moment later, it lowered its head, "Master..."
"Haha, we've gained another third-tier Lawmaster, and it's a 'Dual-Headed Wind Cloud Leopard', naturally skilled in two laws, with great potential..."
The mantis bug race was satisfied, "I'm only a fourth-tier Lawmaster, and the Ash Continent is the stage for fifth-tier Lawmasters... Instead of competing for that elusive inheritance hope, it's better to focus on ambushing here, earning military merits, and capturing powerful slaves..."
"You guys continue setting up the formation, hmm... This time, let's collaborate and set up the 'Heavy Water Realm'. No Lawmaster who comes here will escape."
The mantis Lawmaster took out a precious treasure, which looked like a pool of water, but exuded an astonishing chill.
Once this treasure was set up, it immediately enveloped the entire Xujing Mountain, spanning millions of miles.
The void was filled with green water currents, hindering the speed of all intruders, and carrying a chill that seemed capable of freezing souls.
"Excellent, the trap is set. Now, we wait for the prey to be caught."
The mantis bug race's figure disappeared.
...
Several days later.
A blood-colored peak flew above Xujing Mountain.
"Hmm? Those water currents?"
Fang Xing immediately spotted the 'Heavy Water Realm', but this was an open strategy. Anyone wishing to pass through Xujing Mountain would have to brave it.
He waved his hand, and Blood Mountain instantly transformed into a blood-colored robe, draping over his body.
Roar!
A second-tier Blood-Patterned Golden Beast King appeared, roaring towards the sky.
No!
With the empowerment of the Pan Wu Great Way, this second-tier Beast King could now unleash the combat strength of a third-tier Beast Emperor!
It roared and charged directly into the Cold Water Realm.
Streams of water immediately entangled it, hindering the Blood-Patterned Golden Beast Emperor's movements.
At the same time, an ancient, extreme cold intent erupted, assaulting the Beast Emperor's soul.
"Roar!"
The Blood-Patterned Golden Beast Emperor roared, raising its right claw and slamming it down.
Golden patterns appeared on its claws, tearing through the void within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles.
"Go!"
The mantis bug race didn't want to see this, and with its command, the Dual-Headed Wind Cloud Leopard stealthily emerged, its two heads continuously spewing out wind and cloud law powers.
Within the heavy water, Lawmasters would occasionally take action, joining forces to attack the Blood-Patterned Golden Beast Emperor!
