Chapter 228: Chapter 220: Strength Soars!
"Teacher, may I enter the Sand Tower to cultivate for a while?" Wang Xu asked.
In the Land of Ancient Inheritance, there is no time limit on how long you can stay. With the Golden Sand Saint Venerable here, the safety is beyond question. Moreover, since the Sanda Inheritance was created by the Golden Sand Saint Venerable himself, it would be a waste not to utilize such a treasure nearby.
"You may, no matter how long you wish to stay." The Golden Sand Saint Venerable smiled, stroking his beard.
Wang Xu wanted to stay for tens of thousands of years if he could. With the Mysterious Flame at hand, his cultivation speed wouldn’t be too slow. Perhaps in tens of thousands of years, he would reach the Celestial God Realm... However, the remaining time until the Qualification Battle is less than thirty years. After thirty years, he will face the real Qualification Battle.
Having received permission from the Golden Sand Saint Venerable, Wang Xu immediately sat down cross-legged, letting the information about the Sand Tower flicker through his mind.
A moment later.
"Time Acceleration!" With a thought, the earth-yellow Copper Tower in Wang Xu’s hand emitted a gentle vibrating sound, and the scene before his eyes suddenly changed.
What appeared before him was a scene from when Wang Xu had finished dealing with Peng Mo and others, leaving Earth to go to the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion for protection.
The three races invaded on a large scale, and humanity faced an unprecedented massacre.
Humans were driven out, enslaved, becoming the lowest and most humble existence, subject to the humiliation of the three races, with no ability to fight back.
Luo led a human resistance, and the Earthworm Race charged angrily, but the outcome was predictable. Hundreds of millions of humans wailing and dying tragically in this catastrophe, darkness completely engulfing humanity...
"Calm like still water." Watching this scene, Wang Xu felt a ripple in his heart, but soon his heart calmed down, like a lake after a stone is thrown, ripples subsiding to an ultimately mirror-like stillness.
The scenes around were still vividly playing out, with sounds falling realistically into Wang Xu’s ears, constantly stimulating his mind.
"Banish distracting thoughts!" It was as if a roar echoed in Wang Xu’s heart, shattering all illusions within, and he reconstructed a new world where Wang Xu was the master, with no cries or screams disturbing his mind.
Using illusion to overcome illusion.
By leveraging this, Wang Xu immersed himself in the illusory world he created, not being disturbed by the Time Shock of the Sand Tower.
In this state, Wang Xu slowly stood up, letting the information about the four Endless things flicker through his mind. Underfoot, the shadow of the Cyan Blade appeared, and he firmly gripped the White Jade Long Saber. Simultaneously, a hundred-mile fire sea suddenly erupted.
"Kill!"
Wang Xu moved like light, swiftly dashing forward, continuously swinging the White Jade Long Saber in his hand. The Light and Dark Blade Aura leaped and flickered in the air, while the hundred-mile fire sea in the sky expanded at an extremely slow speed.
Now that he had the opportunity to obtain such a precious treasure, Wang Xu would not be complacent, and he began crazily cultivating the Three Endlessness at the same time!
"This disciple... the younger generation is truly formidable!" A glint of brilliance flashed through the eyes of the Golden Sand Saint Venerable, and his smile deepened.
......
While Wang Xu was immersed in the Sand Tower, outside the Land of Golden Sand, a group of cosmic martial artists hovered in the air, their faces darker than water, with eyes filled with hatred.
The Red Horn Cosmic Martial Artist, the National Son of Floating Cosmic Country, the National Son of Taoke Cosmic Country, the Spiderman, the White-Clad Cosmic Martial Artist... everyone wore expressions of anger on their faces. They had painstakingly gathered a complete map, thinking they could get an ancient inheritance to become stronger, only to be tricked by an uninvited guest.
"Damn it, don’t let me meet that hateful guy again, or I’ll cut him into a thousand pieces!" The National Son of Taoke Cosmic Country gritted his teeth.
"Hmph! If it weren’t for you guys, I would have entered long ago, and that guy wouldn’t have succeeded!" The Red Horn Cosmic Martial Artist’s anger was burning. Strictly speaking, he was the first to arrive at the Land of Inheritance, but unfortunately, he encountered Spiderman’s group and was intercepted.
In the ensuing battle, the Red Horn Cosmic Martial Artist had no opportunity to use his map. Just then, several more groups of cosmic martial artists arrived, all for the inheritance of the Land of Golden Sand.
Watching the cooked duck fly away, the Red Horn Cosmic Martial Artist’s resentful gaze swept over every cosmic martial artist present, unable to swallow this humiliation.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it—" The White-Clad Cosmic Martial Artist kept activating the complete map, but he was unable to form a second Gate of Space-Time, which filled him with rage, wishing to tear up the complete map in his hand.
The Gate of Space-Time opened by Wang Xu was still there, but this gate only allowed him to enter. Any other creatures that tried to enter without Wang Xu’s permission would be teleported to any corner of the Thousandfold Divine Country, rendering it useless.
"Don’t waste your effort, this inheritance land is different from typical ancient inheritances and only allows one person to enter at a time." The National Son of Floating Cosmic Country spoke with indifference, his expression seemingly calm but his mind was in chaos.
To piece together this complete map, he had paid a significant price, only for it to now become a useless piece of paper. Even though he tried to remain calm, the turmoil in his heart couldn’t be subdued.
Hearing this, the people from other factions all showed malicious intent, holding deep-seated hatred for Wang Xu.
The National Son of Floating Cosmic Country was right, the Golden Sand Inheritance only allows one person to enter, and since there is only one Sand Tower, only one can be its master. Even if others enter, it would be of no use.
"What can we do, just watch as that guy takes my ancient inheritance?" the Spiderman said in exasperation.
"Hmph, dream on!" the Red Horn Cosmic Martial Artist said coldly, "I stayed here without leaving just to wait for him to come out."
"If he successfully passes the trial and gets the ancient inheritance, I’ll be the first to kill him and take his ancient inheritance."
"If he doesn’t pass the test, I’ll kill him all the same, then enter the Land of Golden Sand to claim the Ancient Inheritance that’s rightfully mine."
The Red Horn Cosmic Martial Artist’s gaze was sharp as a blade. "In any case, he must die, and I must obtain this Ancient Inheritance."
"Ridiculous!" Taoke National Son laughed coldly and said, "How can you be certain that the Ancient Inheritance he got is the ’Stealable Inheritance’? Moreover, I am determined to get this Ancient Inheritance, and anyone who tries to contest with me, I will not spare them!"
The Cosmic Martial Artists from other factions also sneered. The Red Horn Cosmic Martial Artist was arrogant, but they were not much inferior. With their strength, they too had a chance to vie for this sole spot.
At the same time, they shared the same thoughts as the Red Horn Cosmic Martial Artist.
Ancient Inheritances are divided into "Stealable Inheritances" and "Non-Stealable Inheritances."
As the name suggests, some Ancient Inheritances can be taken, while others cannot.
For example, Wang Xu’s Endless Inheritance, where his four Endlessnesses were personally instilled into his body by the Endless Saint Venerable, can be considered independent of his life, making it a "Stealable Inheritance."
However, the Holy Statue Inheritance is different. It lacks external objects. The "Formless Sacred Image" is merely a secret scripture locked in Wang Xu’s mind that has never been passed on. Even killing him won’t retrieve it, unless a super-powerful figure uses a formidable means for "Soul Sweep" on him. Only then would there be a chance to obtain Wang Xu’s "Formless Sacred Image," but such inheritances are "Non-Stealable Inheritances."
There is also the Three-Eyed Cosmic Martial Artist that Wang Xu encountered; his Ancient Eye is the core item of the Ancient Inheritance, an external object, making it a "Stealable Inheritance."
Wang Xu knows this as well, which is why he regrets the Ancient Eye falling into the void fracture.
Otherwise, if he had merged with the Ancient Eye, he would possess insight, foresight, and formidable defensive capabilities, greatly increasing his chances of survival.
To these Cosmic Martial Artists, if Wang Xu obtained a "Stealable Inheritance," it would be good, as there would be an opportunity to acquire an Ancient Inheritance without passing any test.
But if Wang Xu obtained a "Non-Stealable Inheritance" or didn’t pass the test, they would eventually need to eliminate Wang Xu, then choose whether to contest or abandon.
Even if Ancient Inheritances must perish, they must not fall into the hands of others.
This is their ultimate bottom line.
In the Thousandfold Divine Country, every faction is an enemy, and no matter who it falls to, the one who suffers will be oneself.
Several factions, knowing this fact, were all quietly waiting, waiting for the moment Wang Xu emerged.
......
Meanwhile, Wang Xu was deep in cultivation in the Sand Tower, oblivious to the outside world.
With "Fifty Times Acceleration" activated, for every year in the outside world, fifty years passed inside the Sand Tower. For ten years outside, five hundred years passed within... But Wang Xu was completely unaware of all this, fully immersing his mind and body into cultivation, utterly ignoring any other matters.
Fifty years passed in the Sand Tower.
"Faster! I can go faster, the Cyan Blade, I’m about to reach the Cyan Blade!" Beneath Wang Xu’s feet, the shadow of an edge without a blade had almost fully manifested. From a distance, Wang Xu seemed to be stepping on a cyan flying sword, shuttling back and forth through the void.
The first layer of the Endless Sword is the "Illusion Sword."
The second layer is the "Cyan Blade."
The Cyan Blade endowed Wang Xu with a more terrifying speed. At the moment of explosion, one step covered a hundred thousand miles.
"One somersault covers 108,000 miles," is a famous saying from Earth’s mythology. But here, Wang Xu truly achieved it, with a step reaching a hundred thousand miles, attaining the realm found in myth.
"Charge!"
The Cyan Blade beneath Wang Xu’s feet emitted a clear hum, carrying Wang Xu’s figure as it explosively parted the air, making him vanish from sight.
Almost at the same time, Wang Xu’s figure appeared out of thin air 108,000 miles away.
"Success, the second layer, Endless Sword has finally reached the second layer!" Wang Xu’s heart was extremely excited. Breaking through to the second layer of the Endless Sword, with a burst speed of 108,000 miles, this terrifying speed would almost cause despair to anyone below the Immortal Chaos Realm in battle.
It must be noted that the limit speed of the Initial Chaos Universe Realm is ten thousand miles per second, and even when bursting, it only reaches fifteen thousand miles in an instant.
The limit speed of the Void Chaos Realm is thirty thousand miles per second, with burst speed reaching forty-six thousand miles.
The Immortal Chaos Realm is formidable, with a limit speed of seventy thousand miles per second, and burst speed reaching ninety-three thousand miles.
Wang Xu, handling the Cyan Blade’s limit speed, reaches eighty thousand miles. When he fully bursts, he can instantly reach 108,000 miles!
This is why Wang Xu’s speed can make all existence below the Immortal Chaos Realm feel despair.
"Again!" A single successful joy was not enough to satisfy Wang Xu. He immediately broke the air again, leaping fiercely to 108,000 miles away. (To be continued.
