It wasn't just the ferocious beasts that recognized Qin Yu as their master; even the other ferocious beasts opened their eyes. They were also curious as to why their boss, who had been in seclusion for so long, would suddenly awaken and even allow their ninth brother to recognize a human at the peak of the Spirit Realm as its master.
In the deepest part of the space, there was a red figure sitting cross-legged at the peak of the 'mountain' that was almost covered in blood mist.
The appearance of the shadow could not be seen clearly, but from the outline, it was a human figure. When Old Nine asked, the face of the blood-red shadow emitted two rays of scarlet light, and a weak voice echoed in the space, "The one who killed him!"
The one who killed him?
The other eight 'mountains' were stunned. After a long time, they suddenly came to their senses and exclaimed, "It's him??"
"It's him. Otherwise, a Spirit Realm cultivator wouldn't be able to cultivate his soul to such a level. He must have cultivated his heaven-defying technique!" A weak voice echoed.
"His inheritor?
How can he have an inheritor?
Wasn't he … If it's really his inheritor … is this a blessing or a curse for us? "A beast hidden in the blood mist said.
"If he can undo the seal on us, so what if he recognizes us as his master?" The red figure said weakly.
After his soul was forced out of the space, Qin Yu held the hilt of the saber with both hands and slowly closed his eyes. He quietly felt the saber. He realized that he had established some kind of connection with the saber.
This was very likely because the beast recognized him as its master.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Yu poured all of his earth energy into the saber.
"Roar!"
A roar reverberated through the sky as the saber shone with ink-red light. A thick, primordial aura erupted from it, forming a huge phantom.
At the same time, Qin Yu felt the saber in his hand become heavier. It was as if it weighed millions of kilograms.
Qin Yu's heart shook. His bones hummed as he unleashed all of his strength. He swung the saber at the stone tablet.
"Rumble!"
The saber shone with a three hundred meter long red light and slashed at the stone tablet. This saber seemed to contain the power to split the heavens and earth as it landed on the stone tablet.
"Rumble rumble rumble!"
Sparks flew in all directions and the entire Eternal Peak shook. But what shocked Qin Yu the most was that the saber didn't even leave a mark on the stone tablet.
What kind of material was this stone tablet made of?
Qin Yu was shocked. Although the saber didn't activate the beast's power, it was still extremely powerful. It could kill second-stage Dao Realm cultivators and shatter immortal weapons.. But it didn't even leave a mark on the stone tablet …
"Eh?"
The surprised Qin Yu suddenly lowered his head and looked at the ground. He vaguely sensed that when the saber fell, there seemed to be some spots of light on the ground, like a sky full of stars …
"Could it be …" Qin Yu's mind shook. He quickly put down the saber and the strength within him tumbled. He lifted a finger and pointed at the stone tablet.
"Rumble!"
The ground flashed with light. Qin Yu was overjoyed. He punched out.
Sky Shattering Heaven!
Rumble!
The ground of the Eternal Peak, which had a radius of nearly 50 kilometers, flashed and disappeared.
"Is it an array?"
Qin Yu muttered to himself. In that flash, he felt that the empty ground had turned into a huge and complicated array.
"Could this be Dao Hong's inheritance?"
Qin Yu muttered to himself. He had tried many times, but he couldn't attack the stone tablet. In the end, he gave up looking for Dao Hong's inheritance and focused on increasing the power of his divine ability. He didn't expect that he would accidentally trigger Dao Hong's inheritance this time.
"Wait … The purpose of the Eternal Peak is to explore the extreme realms of each realm … I thought that climbing the Eternal Peak would mean stepping into the extreme realm. But it seems like … that's not the case!"
"Attacking the stone tablet can trigger the inheritance. So, does this mean that only those who are recognized by Dao Hong are qualified to receive his inheritance?
To get his recognition … the only way is to attack the stone tablet and make a complete array appear on the empty ground. The only way to do that is to step into the true extreme realm! "
"In other words, I haven't stepped into the extreme realm of the spiritual realm yet …" Qin Yu breathed heavily. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was true. He didn't expect that he would discover such a shocking secret by chance!
He took a deep breath and calmed the shock in his heart. Then, his eyes narrowed and he thought to himself, "There are still 11 months until the grand exchange meeting. In other words, I still have 10 months left. In this 100: 1 flow of time array formation, 10 months is equal to over 80 years …"
As for the banquet, Qin Yu didn't even think about it. This was just the Life-and-Death Secret Realm. Even if he wanted to make friends with those geniuses from different realms, it was useless. They might have already died!
"80 years … I want to step into the true extreme realm and unleash the full power of the Horizontal Blade. Even if there's only one beast, I want to unleash all of its power. If I can create a Divine Skill related to the blade, I'll have a better chance of getting a spot!"
Qin Yu couldn't help but think of Hong Xuan of the Hundred Refinement Ancient Sect. Back then, he was known as the One Blade Slash. Although Qin Yu didn't ask about the blade, he had seen the power of the One Blade Slash. Qin Yu planned to use these years to try to understand the essence of the One Blade Slash!
"I have many different powers now. If I combine all of them into one blade and add the essence of the One Blade Slash, its power will definitely be terrifying!"
"I can also memorize all of this array while increasing my strength. I'm looking forward to the array left behind by Dao Hong … I wonder what kind of array it is!" Qin Yu muttered to himself.
Then, after suppressing his thoughts, Qin Yu didn't continue to attack the stone tablet. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and immersed his mind into the Horizontal Blade. He needed to communicate with the beast and see if he could unleash the true power of the Horizontal Blade.
As time passed, the day of the exchange was getting closer and closer. Almost all the major forces of the Nine Desolate Worlds had arrived at the Yin Birth and Yang Death Sect.
In an instant, more than 99% of the monstrous geniuses of the Nine Desolate Worlds had gathered. The eastern part of the Yin Birth and Yang Death Sect was bustling with noise and excitement.
Because immortal weapons could be used in this exchange, many young and energetic cultivators wore immortal armor and held immortal weapons in their hands and swaggered around.
The Three Thousand Daos Heaven was at its peak. Immortal weapons that were rarely seen in the four major planets could be seen everywhere. It was as if immortal weapons were worthless here. Of course, the main reason for this illusion was that these monstrous geniuses had extraordinary identities.
The exchange was about to begin. The aftermath of Qin Yu forcing the experts of the Heavenly Sword Saint Sect out with one blade still hadn't dissipated.
However, what was different from the previous exclamations was that more people were questioning Qin Yu's saber.
This was because when one was caught off guard, a soul attack would be fatal to cultivators below Dao Realm Stage Three.
That madman had only grasped a soul attack. If he had a defensive immortal weapon, he would be able to ignore the soul attack. Therefore, in a one on one fight, that madman definitely wasn't Ye Kong's match.
As if they were certain that Qin Yu's strength was only so-so, many monstrous geniuses from the major forces started to boast that they could defeat Qin Yu in ten moves. Some even said that if they weren't in the Yin Birth and Yang Death Sect, they could kill Qin Yu in one move!
No matter what, Qin Yu had become the target of public criticism. Many monstrous geniuses wanted to use Qin Yu to make a name for themselves.
Originally, Qin Yu used the Sky Splitter Blade on Ye Kong to intimidate others. Who would have thought that not only did he fail to intimidate them, but even more people wanted to step on Qin Yu …
Half a month before the exchange, the Yin Birth and Yang Death Sect, led by Lee Hyun-seong, held a banquet in the largest residence in the east. They invited all the monstrous geniuses from the major forces to gather together!
Those who had the right to attend the banquet had to be at least the Sequence Seed of each generation. Even the Quasi-Sequence Seed of each generation didn't have the right to attend. This showed how high the standard of this banquet was.
Just as the banquet was about to begin, Qin Yu walked out of the Time District's main hall with an indifferent expression.
