Chapter 231: Chapter 223: Demon Swamp Ming Xing
With Spider-man dead, Wang Xu returned to the place of his demise to investigate. Apart from the deep, dark void fracture, there was nothing else.
"What was his inheritance? He didn’t use it even till his death," Wang Xu said.
These are not achievements that the Cosmic Martial Artists of the Ten Extremes Great Country can rise to, reaching the Initial Chaos Universe Realm. It can only be done relying on Ancient Inheritance, but Spider-man could not use his Ancient Inheritance till his death and chose to self-destruct instead. This shows his Ancient Inheritance, like Wang Xu’s "Formless Sacred Image," belonged to the category of Stealable Inheritances.
Stealable Inheritances mostly involved secret scriptures that required a long time to cultivate and understand. Faced with Wang Xu’s terrifying overpowering force, there was no room for resistance. He could only unwillingly die with his Ancient Inheritance.
"Where’s the Space Ring?" Wang Xu glanced around but found no trace of the Space Ring, looking towards the void fracture, "Could it have been swallowed by the void fracture again?"
The Ancient Inheritance was gone, and the Space Ring was also gone. This trip proved to be futile for Wang Xu. Reluctantly, he turned to chase other leader figures.
The speed of several leader figures was swift, with the maximum speed of the Initial Chaos Universe Realm reaching ten thousand miles per second, ranking among the top figures in the Thousandfold Divine Country.
But unfortunately for them, they encountered Wang Xu.
The Cyan Blade leaped 108,000 miles, making Wang Xu’s pursuit even more effortless. After a few leaps, he caught up with the white-clothed Cosmic Martial Artist.
The white-clothed Cosmic Martial Artist also lamented endlessly, but his Ancient Inheritance was astonishing to Wang Xu, transforming into a massive, majestic beast rather than a type of Star Giant Beast, yet stronger than the Star Giant Beast.
The power of the white-clothed Cosmic Martial Artist surged, vaguely able to compare with the Void Chaos Realm.
With such power, the white-clothed Cosmic Martial Artist ranked among the top among these leader figures.
But the white-clothed Cosmic Martial Artist also chose to turn and flee, which alone indicated that Wang Xu’s power surpassed his.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
No matter how majestic and gigantic your body, it couldn’t withstand even a few gentle silk thread blade auras. The silk thread blade aura could be large or small, entangling the colossal beast figure and slicing it into pieces. With the Endless Fire spat out by Wang Xu, he had no means of resistance, and his breath of life faded away with a wail.
"Another Stealable Inheritance," Wang Xu shook his head, "Fortunately, his Space Ring is still here."
With a sweep of his big hand, the Space Ring of the white-clothed Cosmic Martial Artist fell into Wang Xu’s hand. He turned to chase another leader figure while scanning through the treasures within the Space Ring, immediately revealing a smile on his face.
"Ah!!!! I’ll fight you to the end!" The blue light from the crystal ball in Tuo Ke Guozi’s hand shone, and suddenly several spectacular auroras descended from the sky. The auroras fell on the earth like several stars pressing down, causing the ground to collapse.
Similarly, these auroras descended towards Wang Xu, but in the face of Wang Xu’s body approaching the Immortal Chaos Realm, the effects of these auroras were minimal. Wang Xu moved lightly, skimming to Tuo Ke Guozi’s side. In his eyes of despair, the White Jade Long Saber swung up.
Tuo Ke Guozi died, leaving behind the Ancient Inheritance and the Space Ring.
"Is this his Ancient Inheritance? It’s indeed formidable, but it requires a lot of time to cultivate," Wang Xu grasped the crystal ball. The attack of those auroras was indeed strong, able to exert pressure on those of the same realm. If used during battle, it could give control over the battlefield.
But Tuo Ke Guozi was too weak, unable to unleash the true power of this Ancient Inheritance, leading Wang Xu to directly end his life.
This Ancient Inheritance was not suitable for Wang Xu, so he could only temporarily stow it away.
Four out of the five leader figures were dead, with only the red-horned Cosmic Martial Artist left frantically fleeing.
......
"The Land of Golden Sand... The inheritance is mine, it should be mine!" the red-horned Cosmic Martial Artist’s face flushed red, eyes burning with furious hatred, gnashing his teeth.
He originally intended to wait for Wang Xu to come out of the Land of Inheritance, kill him, and seize his inheritance.
However, he never expected that Wang Xu would become so powerful, to the point where he couldn’t even match him.
The red-horned Cosmic Martial Artist attributed Wang Xu’s overwhelming power to the inheritance of the Land of Golden Sand.
"If I had entered the Land of Inheritance, I would be even stronger than him now! Damn, it’s all those guys who ruined my plans! When I escape, I’m going to kill them all one by one!" the red-horned Cosmic Martial Artist fumed.
A chance to exponentially increase his power lay before him, but it was ruinously disrupted by those people, wasting ten years and now being pursued by enemies... All of it was unbearable.
Suddenly, the red-horned Cosmic Martial Artist was startled, his figure suddenly stopping, his face becoming increasingly grim.
"Where else do you think you can run?" Wang Xu’s black-robed figure stood facing him, stepping on the Cyan Blade, with each step forward moving it a fraction ahead.
"He... they..." Upon seeing Wang Xu, the red-horned Cosmic Martial Artist’s Spiritual Sense spread out immediately, finding that the life auras of the other leader figures had completely vanished, "Did you kill them all?"
Wang Xu gazed intently at the Red Horned Cosmic Martial Artist, not making a move at first, and nonchalantly said, "Are you talking about those useless guys? They’re not worth a fight."
Cold sweat immediately broke out on the Red Horned Cosmic Martial Artist, as he forcibly steadied his trembling heart and said, "If you let me go, I can give you many treasures. Whatever you want, it’s yours."
"Is that so?" Wang Xu’s lips curled up, "If I kill you, I can get all your treasures. Which do you think is more cost-effective?"
"You’re forcing me!" the Red Horned Cosmic Martial Artist yelled in anger.
"Enough nonsense, die!" Wang Xu’s gaze turned cold. Without saying more, the air exploded, and his figure suddenly vanished from the spot.
The Red Horned Cosmic Martial Artist gritted his teeth and waved his hand, causing a square cloth piece with a red mark to fly out.
This piece of cloth was as tall as a person and landed under the Red Horned Cosmic Martial Artist’s feet, immediately forming a faint square energy barrier that enveloped him.
"Divine Treasure!" Wang Xu’s eyes lit up. This Red Horned Cosmic Martial Artist had many tricks up his sleeve and even had a Divine Treasure.
Among the thirty million geniuses from various countries, those who truly possessed a Divine Treasure were extremely few, aside from the Ten Extremes Great Country. Wang Xu and others were considered exceptions.
Unexpectedly, right here, Wang Xu encountered another exception in the Red Horned Cosmic Martial Artist, who also had a Divine Treasure.
Moreover, the aura emitted by this Divine Treasure was even stronger than the Oil and Candle Fire on Wang Xu, which made his eyes burn with excitement.
"Go!" Once the Red Horned Cosmic Martial Artist was enveloped by the cloth piece, his speed instantly increased several times, going from fourteen thousand li per second to sixty-three thousand li per second.
Wang Xu saw this and clicked his tongue in admiration, his resolve strengthened to seize this Divine Treasure.
It could both defend and accelerate, significantly increasing Wang Xu’s chances of survival.
However, even though the Red Horned Cosmic Martial Artist had pulled out a Divine Treasure, gaining several times in speed, Wang Xu’s Cyan Blade found no pressure at all.
Almost instantly, Wang Xu’s black-robed figure materialized again in front of the Red Horned Cosmic Martial Artist.
"Your treasures are mine, as is your life; die." Wang Xu spoke lightly, his hand wielding the White Jade Long Saber that swiftly slashed out six silk thread blade auras, each targeting a different part on the Red Horned Cosmic Martial Artist, leaping through space.
Thud, thud, thud...
However, the silk thread blade auras collided with the faint energy barrier, unable to break through smoothly but instead creating ripples of energy.
"Ugh!"
Although the energy barrier wasn’t breached, the Red Horned Cosmic Martial Artist suffered serious injuries.
Obviously, this Divine Treasure had already been bound to him by blood, making their relationship mutual; this allowed the Divine Treasure to be wielded with great ease, doubling its power but also having drawbacks, just like now, as the cloth piece took damage, the Red Horned Cosmic Martial Artist also felt the impact.
"A life-bound treasure?" Wang Xu raised an eyebrow. A Divine Treasure was extremely precious, and once bound by blood, it became a life-bound treasure, closely linked to its owner, making it impossible for other Cosmic Martial Artists to seize it unless the owner died.
The Sovereign of Tai Long Country gifted Wang Xu the Oil and Candle Fire but only as a ’loan,’ never truly giving away a Divine Treasure, as it’s too valuable.
"He... has no other options." The Red Horned Cosmic Martial Artist realized that with his strength, he couldn’t escape anymore. He wiped his Space Ring and took out a Law Contract.
Wang Xu paid no attention to what the Red Horned Cosmic Martial Artist intended to do; he only cared about the Divine Treasure cloth piece. If he could obtain it, his chances to stay alive would greatly increase.
Several more silk thread blade auras blasted forth, causing the Red Horned Cosmic Martial Artist to spit out a mouthful of blood, which splattered over the Law Contract.
The Red Horned Cosmic Martial Artist wore a pained expression, but he fiercely glanced at Wang Xu: "Even in death, I’ll take you down with me!"
The Law Contract shone brightly, an unseen force of Law descending. The Red Horned Cosmic Martial Artist promptly threw out a Light Jade: "Yaoze Guozi, it’s time to fulfill your promise, isn’t it?"
The Light Jade emitted a dazzling light, quickly forming a Gate of Space-Time. Upon hearing the mention of ’Yaoze,’ Wang Xu frowned, a vague understanding dawning on him as he watched the scene unfold.
As the Gate of Space-Time appeared, the Red Horned Cosmic Martial Artist’s body froze, and Wang Xu ceased his attack. Both of their gazes were fixed on the Gate of Space-Time.
"Haha..." A brazen and wild laugh echoed, "Hong Chi, have you finally decided to become my slave?"
As the voice ended, a dazzling figure stepped out of the Gate of Space-Time, clad in Five-Colored Battle Armor. With a Red Crown on his head and golden-yellow pupils exuding arrogance, he held a Dark Gold Scepter. His skin was so transparent that the blood vessels inside him were visible.
"Demon Swamp Ming Xing!" Wang Xu’s expression turned grim. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian () to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to to read.)
