"Look, he can't hold on any longer!"
"Hurry, chase him!"
Seeing Yang Sheng collapse on the ground, the pursuers behind them rejoiced.
They thought he had no strength left to escape.
But as they excitedly entered the trial grounds, ready to strike.
Suddenly.
A grand voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"The trial grounds prohibit killing. Those who violate this rule will be killed without mercy!"
This voice, cold and ruthless,
Instantly stunned the group who were about to attack Yang Sheng.
They all sheathed their weapons.
Seeing this, Yang Sheng immediately jumped up from the ground.
"Hahaha, come on, keep chasing me, you bunch of losers!"
He had felt so stifled being chased all the way before, and now he desperately needed to vent his accumulated resentment.
"Giving up already? You were so fierce just now? Keep going!"
"Come on!"
Yang Sheng, with a smug look of triumph, taunted the group relentlessly.
"Ahhh, I can't stand it anymore, die!"
Facing such mockery, a prodigy from a minor sect couldn't take it anymore. He had never suffered such humiliation before. Drawing his long sword, he was about to attack Yang Sheng.
However, before his sword could touch Yang Sheng.
Suddenly.
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking him directly. In an instant, he turned into dust.
"Let me repeat, the trial grounds prohibit killing. Those who violate this rule will be killed without mercy!"
The voice spoke again.
This time, they were even more afraid to act rashly.
They could only watch helplessly as Yang Sheng mocked them.
After all, they had seen the precedent.
They didn't want to die under that lightning.
The two parties remained in a standoff, neither yielding, but neither daring to make a move.
The atmosphere here was incredibly bizarre.
Suddenly.
While they were glaring at each other, a beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping everyone.
"Ding!"
A crisp sound emanated from the beam of light, followed by the grand and ruthless voice once more.
"The Golden Ancient Hall's tenth inheritance trial will begin in three days!"
This voice resonated with everyone present, and indeed, with all the surviving martial artists in the entire ancient hall world.
"Inheritance Trial!"
Upon hearing this, everyone erupted in excitement.
In a mountain range, a sturdy young man who had just torn apart a Nirvana realm demonic beast dropped his prey.
A golden glint flashed in his eyes.
"The inheritance trial is finally about to begin. This time, I will definitely seize the final inheritance!"
His aura of wildness was fully displayed at this moment.
With a push of his feet, the ground instantly caved in. propelled by this force, he instantly appeared a hundred meters away.
After a few more leaps, he disappeared from the area.
In another location.
A bald young monk swung his Zen staff. With each strike, a demonic beast perished.
After the beast died, he chanted scriptures for its rebirth.
Upon hearing the voice, he stopped his actions.
"Amitabha!"
"To seek inheritance, bloodshed is inevitable. This humble monk shall go and guide those who kill!"
With that, he rapidly moved towards the direction of the beam of light.
It wasn't just these two.
Many peerless prodigies hidden in the shadows emerged at this moment, converging towards the beam of light.
...
Meanwhile, Xu Chuan and Su Miaoyin also heard the voice.
"Senior Brother Xu, is the place you mentioned where the beam of light is?"
Su Miaoyin asked in surprise.
"Yes, we need to speed up and enter before the trial begins!"
With that, he took Su Miaoyin and rushed towards it.
Two days later, they finally arrived at the trial grounds.
It was already a sea of people, all gathered to participate in this inheritance trial.
As soon as they stepped in, the two of them received information about the rules of this inheritance trial.
Of course, the most conspicuous rule was that killing was forbidden before the trial began, and violators would be killed!
The trial grounds contained all the inheritances of the Golden Ancient Hall. These inheritances varied in quality, but the rewards for passing the trial were extremely generous.
Therefore, everyone flocked to it.
After glancing at the content regarding the inheritances and rewards, Xu Chuan couldn't help but gasp.
Within these trial grounds, there were hundreds of thousands of inheritances and countless rewards.
The lowest of these inheritances were left by martial artists of the Samsara realm!
The rewards encompassed everything Xu Chuan knew!
What immense wealth and power! Xu Chuan's eyes burned as he looked at the beam of light in the trial grounds.
His curiosity about the origin of the Golden Ancient Hall grew even stronger.
But what astonished Xu Chuan even more was.
The highest inheritance was related to the Golden Ancient Hall itself!
Whoever managed to pass this inheritance trial would receive the inheritance of the Hall Master of the Golden Ancient Hall, and the reward would be the Golden Ancient Hall itself!
Xu Chuan's breath hitched.
The Golden Ancient Hall!
That was something capable of instantly killing even a half-step Emperor!
And how powerful must its owner have been?
Xu Chuan dared not contemplate it.
Yang Sheng's third fortuitous encounter was this Hall Master's inheritance.
It was precisely because he obtained this inheritance that he embarked on the path to supremacy.
Golden light flashed in Xu Chuan's eyes.
"I absolutely cannot let Yang Sheng obtain this highest inheritance!"
Xu Chuan couldn't guarantee whether Yang Sheng would discover that he had stolen his supreme bone after obtaining the Golden Ancient Hall.
But just in case, he absolutely could not let Yang Sheng get the inheritance!
Yang Sheng, standing nearby, also noticed Xu Chuan.
Seeing that his clothes were not damaged at all, and that he was accompanied by a beautiful woman, he became immensely jealous.
"Why is he completely unharmed and accompanied by a beauty, while I am being chased by so many people!"
"This is unfair!"
He roared inwardly, his jealousy evident.
As a day passed, almost all the martial artists in the entire ancient hall world had gathered here.
Except for those whose cultivation was too low to arrive in time.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Three bell tolls echoed throughout the trial grounds, then spread throughout the entire world.
All the martial artists who had come to participate in the trial heard this refreshing bell chime and looked up at the sky.
After the three tolls, everyone felt their spirits and energy reach their peak condition.
It was truly miraculous!
Then, the voice sounded once more.
"The inheritance trial now begins!"
As soon as the words fell, the beam of light erupted with dazzling divine light, engulfing everyone.
Immediately, they felt their vision darken, and they found themselves in another place.
They had all been teleported by the beam of light to the true trial grounds!
This place was a vast expanse of space, stretching as far as the eye could see.
There were no mountains, no water, not even any light.
The only source of light was this luminous beam.
Once they adapted to the environment, these martial artists surged forward like rabid dogs.
Before entering, they had already received information about the inheritance trial and were somewhat prepared for the dangers they would face.
What followed was the hunting season!
