After Xiao Yufan resolved the threat of the puppet statue, Yan Zheng, Ning Mo, and others also gradually withdrew from their battle states…
However, compared to Xiao Yufan’s calm and effortless handling of the danger, they appeared somewhat battered. Even Yan Wanyu, who had reached the half-step Spiritual Enlightenment realm, showed signs of discomfort after taking a direct hit from the puppet statue.
The several phantom figures completely faded away. Xiao Yufan slightly nodded toward where the energy had dissipated. Regardless of anything else, these puppet statues were the crystallization of the ancient martial cultivation era’s Yu Long Sect, and now they had completely vanished into the world.
As the situation on the battlefield became clear, Xiao Yufan clearly sensed the atmosphere had become much more oppressive.
The most terrifying aspect of this mysterious place wasn’t the omnipresent dangers, but rather the possibility of becoming someone else’s victim at any moment. Now that the immediate threat had been eliminated, their temporary cooperation had come to an end.
“Yan Zheng, do you really believe that your two clans’ strength can truly restrain my Blood Spirit Clan and Soul Spirit Clan?”
At this moment, Yu Li’s voice echoed throughout the space. He could sense that after those phantom figures faded, the people from the Thousand Spirit and Ancient Spirit Clans had already locked their gazes onto them…
“Do you have other backup plans? If I’m not mistaken, four-fifths of your Blood Spirit Clan’s forces are at the Yin Yang Gate’s inheritance site, right?”
Yan Zheng’s lips curled into a cold smirk; Yu Li’s intimidation hadn’t shaken him. Although the main forces of the Thousand Spirit and Ancient Spirit Clans weren’t present here, the same could be said for the Blood Spirit and Soul Spirit Clans. Even if a fight broke out, they wouldn’t back down.
“It seems you’ve gone to great lengths to deal with my Blood Spirit Clan!” Yu Li sneered, his eyes flashing with coldness.
“Dealing with you isn’t what I’d say, I just don’t want some half-human, half-demon creatures ruining our plans. If you were smart, you wouldn’t have left Yu Ya and come here alone!”
The two immediately exchanged words filled with hostility. One small spark could ignite a massive conflict; if these two factions clashed, it would likely erupt into a fierce battle for Yu Long Sect’s inheritance!
In everyone’s eyes, without the protection of those puppet statues, this stone door could no longer stop them. Now, all that remained was to eliminate the competition and step into the chamber to obtain the long-coveted inheritance.
“There’s no need for more words. Let’s see who has the real strength!”
Yu Li’s face twitched violently. He clearly couldn’t gain the upper hand in verbal sparring.
Yan Zheng hesitated slightly, not expecting Yu Li to counterattack like this. It was true that the Ancient Spirit and Blood Spirit Clans were bitter enemies, but he still couldn’t bring himself to start a fight at this moment. After all, he had waited a long time for this Yu Long Sect inheritance…
“Self-proclaimed righteous people are no better. Aren’t you just worried the inheritance will fall into someone else’s hands?” Seeing Yan Zheng remain silent, Yu Li continued to mock.
“And aren’t you thinking the same way? Although the Blood Spirit Clan obtained the Yin Yang Gate inheritance, it seems to have nothing to do with you. Yu Ya reaped all the benefits. If you can’t prove your strength by obtaining the Yu Long Sect inheritance, no matter how much you do in the future, you’ll never surpass Yu Ya’s brilliance!”
Ning Mo, unwilling to be outdone, struck the nail on the head, making Yu Li’s face even darker with fury.
The truth was, he had indeed come here for the Yu Long Sect inheritance. The entire Blood Spirit Clan’s resources had been poured into his brother, how could he not feel jealous? But if he obtained the Yu Long Sect inheritance, everything would be different. At that time, he would stand side by side with Yu Ya.
Besides these few people, others remained silent. Of course, many still hoped they would fight, which would eliminate several powerful opponents.
“The inheritance is right before us. If it’s just verbal sparring, let’s put it aside for now. Only by obtaining the Yu Long Sect inheritance can one prove their true strength!”
Yan Wanyu spoke again, though this time with a hint of impatience. Even though the Blood Spirit Clan and Ancient Spirit Clan were powerful forces, on this territory, it was still the Di Sha Palace that held the final say.
Indeed, as soon as this woman spoke, both Yu Li and Yan Zheng fell silent. It wasn’t that they feared Yan Wanyu, but both knew that continuing this conflict would achieve nothing.
At this moment, the last stone door, which had remained unusually quiet, slowly cracked open, revealing a narrow gap!
In an instant, Xiao Yufan could feel massive fluctuations throughout the space. Compared to the ancient, wild aura when the Yu Long Sect first appeared, this was even more intense—this was merely the energy seeping out from behind the stone door…
Everyone’s gaze fixed on the stone door, Xiao Yufan included.
As the crack gradually widened, Xiao Yufan clearly felt his heartbeat quicken—not because of the increasingly tense atmosphere, but because the Yu Long True Technique within his body was wildly circulating.
Xiao Yufan could sense that something inside his body seemed ready to break free. Something behind the stone door was actually calling to him!
Under this fluctuation of energy, even Yan Wanyu’s face flushed slightly. Her half-step Spiritual Enlightenment cultivation was severely suppressed, leaving her unable to move even slightly.
The stone door swung fully open, and a domineering suction force mercilessly dragged everyone inside. In an instant, panic swept through the crowd, for the greatest fear always stems from the unknown.
But soon, the noise quieted down. After all, no one present was ordinary; their mental fortitude was stronger than imagined. After a brief chaos, they began to examine this palace. Indeed, all of them had been forcibly drawn in by that suction force.
The vast palace contained only seven glowing orbs floating in midair!
Each orb radiated strange energy fluctuations. Compared to the oppressive ancient aura, this kind of fluctuation felt more approachable, quickly captivating many people in the crowd.
However, this did not include Xiao Yufan, Guo Chen, and a few others. This palace was undoubtedly the final inheritance site, meaning these seven orbs might be the Yu Long Sect’s inheritance!
Boom!
Almost simultaneously, over a dozen powerful auras erupted. Even Ye Kong, who was at the early stage of the先天 realm, took two steps back, his gaze shifting subtly…
Regardless of whether these seven orbs were the final inheritance or not, they had become the spark that ignited the atmosphere. No one dared to act first, for whoever moved first would inevitably draw attacks from everyone else…
