278: The Demon God's inheritance, leave!
Lu Sheng's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Insignificant cultivation!
Since when were Demon God powerhouses only considered to have 'insignificant cultivation'? This Profound Spirit Lineage, it seems, is even more terrifying than I imagined.
Before Lu Sheng could speak, the Black Dragon opened its mouth. He looked at Lu Sheng and slowly said, "Since you are an envoy of the Profound Spirit Lineage, there's no need for me to keep this Legacy. It can be considered a helping hand to the envoy."
"It's just... I ask that after you receive my Legacy, you would slightly uplift my race. For an envoy, this shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
The Black Dragon gazed at Lu Sheng with sparkling eyes, the black flames in its pupils gently flickering.
Under the Black Dragon's gaze, Lu Sheng remained exceptionally calm.
What Lu Sheng hadn't expected was how influential the name of the Profound Spirit Lineage was. Even a Demon God powerhouse like the Black Dragon, when he thought Lu Sheng was a Prodigy of the Profound Spirit Lineage, was willing to hand over his Legacy without hesitation.
This was completely different from the Black Dragon's previous attitude towards him.
The Black Dragon also seemed to be someone with an extremely strong sense of racial identity. If a Prodigy of the Beast Demon Royal Clan hadn't entered here, the Black Dragon would absolutely not have handed over the Legacy.
Yet... simply by taking him for someone from the Profound Spirit Lineage, he unhesitatingly brought out the Legacy.
It seems this identity of the Profound Spirit Lineage is truly extraordinary.
However... a glint of light flickered in Lu Sheng's eyes. He looked at the Black Dragon, hands clasped behind his back, and arrogantly spoke, "Why should I agree to you? Don't tell me... you dare not hand over the Legacy?"
"If so, you can try!"
"Let's see if your Face is more important, or the survival of your Dragon Demon Race!"
The Dragon Demon Race was the racial name of the Beast Demon Royal Clan. It was only because a Demon God powerhouse was born and unified all the Otherworldly Demons of beast kind that they were called the Beast Demon Royal Clan.
Lu Sheng said this, but his hands clasped behind his back clenched involuntarily.
This was also an attempt by Lu Sheng. Since the other party took him for someone from the Profound Spirit Lineage, and the Profound Spirit Lineage's status was so high, there was no need to make an equal trade with the Black Dragon.
Perhaps, those previous words were the Black Dragon testing him!
None of the fellows who could Cultivate to the Demon God realm were fools. Although he thought Lu Sheng was from the Profound Spirit Lineage, he still tested him, wanting to fully confirm his identity.
As expected, after hearing Lu Sheng's words, the black flames in the Black Dragon's eyes stopped flickering. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, but this time his tone was somewhat pleading.
"Envoy, please don't be angry. I just wanted to look after my clansmen."
Lu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart but still let out a cold snort: "Hmph! Hand it over obediently, and I might be willing to look after them. But if you're stubborn... even if I don't want your Legacy, I will definitely have my elders behind me take action to exterminate your Dragon Demon Race!"
Lu Sheng's words were undoubtedly very destructive, and the Black Dragon circling above immediately became flustered.
He swayed his body and quickly said, "Envoy, please don't be enraged! I will hand over the Legacy right now!"
With that, the Black Dragon instantly transformed into wisps of black Qi, surging towards Lu Sheng.
A trace of vigilance appeared in Lu Sheng's eyes, but after a moment of deliberation, he gave up resisting and allowed the black Qi to surge into his body.
Indeed, the Black Dragon had no ill intentions but directly handed the Legacy to Lu Sheng.
That black Qi was actually the purest Heaven and Earth Power, continuously surging into Lu Sheng's body, causing the Nirvana Golden Blood within Lu Sheng's body to surge once again.
It lasted for a full quarter of an hour before the surging speed of the Nirvana Golden Blood gradually decreased and finally disappeared.
But even so, it caused the Nirvana Golden Blood in Lu Sheng's body to increase from the previous two hundred drops to five hundred drops.
A three-hundred-drop increase!
It was truly terrifying.
Not only that, there were also some cultivation experiences from this lifetime, as well as countless Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques.
However... apart from these cultivation experiences, those Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques were completely useless to Lu Sheng.
Although they were Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques collected by a Demon God powerhouse, extremely precious throughout the entire Otherworldly Demon World and Blue Star, Lu Sheng's Cultivation Technique, the Profound Spirit Breathing Technique, was a treasure of the Profound Spirit Lineage, absolutely incomparable to what this Black Dragon possessed.
Of course, these Martial Arts and Cultivation Techniques could be given to the Great Xia Human Clan. After some modifications, they could also become the Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques of the Great Xia Human Clan.
It could also be considered an increase in the Great Xia Human Clan's foundation.
Besides that, there were the resources left behind by the Black Dragon. Through the black current of Qi, it directly transformed into a black storage ring, which automatically slipped onto Lu Sheng's finger.
Lu Sheng took a cursory glance and immediately gasped.
The resources in this storage ring were extremely abundant, even more so than the entire Treasure Vault of the Lion Demon Clan.
"This Legacy... is absolutely amazing!"
Even Lu Sheng couldn't help but exclaim the word 'amazing'.
There were simply too many resources in this storage ring. Lu Sheng even felt that if he found a place to hide now and Cultivated for some time with the resources in the storage ring, he could become a powerhouse comparable to a Devil King or even a Demon Venerable.
However, at present, he still needed to find the profound spirit fragment as soon as possible, so hiding in one place to Cultivate was impossible.
After simply calming his emotions, Lu Sheng slowly looked at Zhao Changsheng behind him.
At this moment, Zhao Changsheng was completely dumbfounded.
He had never expected Lu Sheng's acting skills to be so terrifying, even deceiving the Black Dragon.
But at the same time, Zhao Changsheng also felt that this Black Dragon was simply too foolish.
Whatever Lu Sheng said, this guy believed it. He was simply an idiot.
However, this couldn't be blamed on the Black Dragon. After all, before he died, the Otherworldly Demon World had not yet encountered Blue Star. In fact, according to Lu Sheng's guess, at that time, the Otherworldly Demon World was still a subordinate star of the Profound Spirit Lineage.
Therefore, when the Black Dragon addressed him, he used the term 'envoy'.
Under such circumstances, when the Black Dragon saw that he was from the Human Race, he immediately jumped to conclusions, taking him for a Prodigy of the Profound Spirit Lineage. This gave Lu Sheng the Opportunity to act.
Otherwise, it would absolutely not have been so smooth.
One can only say... information asymmetry!
The information gap allowed Lu Sheng to easily deceive the Black Dragon.
"Wake up! Now it's time to do what you said before!"
Lu Sheng patted Zhao Changsheng's shoulder, waking him from his dazed state.
However, even though he had woken up, Zhao Changsheng still felt a bit unreal looking at Lu Sheng.
"So... we just got the Demon God's Legacy?"
Zhao Changsheng stared blankly at Lu Sheng, his expression slightly strange.
Even now, he still felt that everything before his eyes was like a dream. According to Zhao Changsheng's thoughts, to obtain a Demon God Legacy, one would inevitably have to go through a life-or-death struggle, after all, this was a Demon God.
The people of the Beast Demon Royal Clan had not obtained the Demon God Legacy even after so many years.
Yet Lu Sheng obtained it as soon as he arrived.
This was simply too unbelievable.
Not to mention Zhao Changsheng finding it unbelievable, anyone who knew about this matter would probably fall into silence.
This matter was simply too exaggerated.
"Don't think so much. We've got the item, now it's time to fulfill what you said before. How do we leave this Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda?"
Lu Sheng directly interrupted Zhao Changsheng's bewildered state.
"Oh, oh, oh!"
Zhao Changsheng only reacted at this moment.
Indeed, they had now obtained the Demon God Legacy... but there were even more dangerous things awaiting them.
The Beast Demon Royal Clan's willingness to share the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda was merely to win over the hearts of the three major races below.
Give them some benefits, so at least they won't openly cause trouble.
After all, while the current Beast Demon Royal Clan could suppress the three major races, it would always come at a cost.
So they simply opened the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda and gave them some benefits.
But these benefits were limited and absolutely could not touch the Beast Demon Royal Clan's most fundamental interests.
And this most fundamental interest was this Demon God Legacy!
If the Beast Demon Royal Clan discovers that you have taken the Demon God Inheritance, I'm sorry, but what awaits you… is only the Beast Demon Royal Clan's merciless revenge!
That's why Lu Sheng was so eager to have Zhao Changsheng wake up.
The most important thing now is to leave the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda under the watchful eyes of the Beast Demon Royal Clan.
Otherwise, even though Lu Sheng's current strength is already terrifying, he would absolutely not be a match for a Demon God expert.
Zhao Changsheng didn't hesitate; after all, this concerned his life safety, and when it came to life safety, Zhao Changsheng was definitely a professional.
With a flick of his hand, a purple orb appeared in his palm.
The purple orb, like crystal, had an extremely eerie glow shimmering within it; just by looking at it, Lu Sheng could feel the terrifying power contained within this purple orb.
“This is…”
Lu Sheng looked at Zhao Changsheng with some confusion.
Zhao Changsheng chuckled, “The Great Teleportation Stone was personally crafted by a Demon God expert. Even within a Secret Realm like the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda, it can transport us out.”
“As for where it will transport us, I don't know, but at least it's better than being captured by the Beast Demon Royal Clan's experts!”
Listening to Zhao Changsheng, Lu Sheng's expression was slightly odd; he always felt that this thing was rather unreliable.
But there was no other way now; they could only rely on the Great Teleportation Stone to help them leave the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda.
“Then use it!”
After taking a few deep breaths, Lu Sheng finally prepared himself and said.
Zhao Changsheng chuckled, grabbed Lu Sheng's arm, and then forcefully squeezed the purple orb with his other hand, instantly crushing it.
Buzz buzz buzz!!!
Immediately, the purple glow hidden within the orb suddenly erupted with dazzling light.
Following that, under this purple light, the surrounding space instantly twisted.
A powerful suction force instantly pulled Lu Sheng and Zhao Changsheng into the dark spatial crack.
They instantly vanished from this plaza's Heaven and Earth.
Gradually, the crack slowly healed, and the entire plaza's Heaven and Earth gradually returned to calm, as if no one had ever entered here... Meanwhile, in a pavilion of the Beast Demon Royal Clan.
Niu Mo Emperor, Tiger Demon Emperor, Shi Lie, and Dragon Demon Emperor sat quietly here.
The pavilion was very high, as if it pierced the clouds, and all around, clouds and mist could be seen swirling.
In front of the four, exquisite tea sets were placed, with green tea leaves floating on the surface of the water, radiating a pleasant luster.
A faint tea fragrance drifted from the tea, refreshing the heart.
“Hehehe, how have you three rested during this time? You are all capable generals under my Beast Demon Royal Clan, so we can't mistreat you!”
Dragon Demon Emperor looked at Shi Lie and the other two, smiling as he spoke.
Shi Lie sneered inwardly upon hearing this.
This Beast Demon Royal Clan was truly arrogant; as soon as he opened his mouth, he called the three of them capable generals, as if afraid that others wouldn't know they were subordinates of the Beast Demon Royal Clan.
However, although he sneered inwardly, he still had to put on a show outwardly.
“Within the Royal Clan's territory, it is naturally comfortable, but it's a pity that my Lion Demon Clan's territory is truly a bit remote and cannot compare to the Royal Clan. During this time, I've truly been so content that I've forgotten my home!”
Shi Lie said flatteringly.
Tiger Demon Emperor smiled slightly, “This tea, I can't drink it in the Tiger Demon Clan. Only in the Royal Clan can I taste a bit. When the time comes, you must let me take some back!”
Although Niu Mo Emperor was silent, he still nodded slightly, expressing his sentiment.
Dragon Demon Emperor watched this scene, his smile growing even wider.
It was the best situation when his subordinates were sensible and didn't cause trouble openly.
As for what Shi Lie and the other two were thinking, how could he not know? Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken every advantage in his words.
All in all, the performance of the three still made Dragon Demon Emperor somewhat satisfied.
“Calculating the time, the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda should be opening soon. At that time, the Prodigies of your three clans will be able to gain many benefits. If I remember correctly, Shi Lie, you came out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda back then and eventually sat in your current position, didn't you!”
Dragon Demon Emperor suddenly said.
Shi Lie was startled, then nodded.
Seeing this, Dragon Demon Emperor continued with a smile, “That's right. Since my Beast Demon Royal Clan is the Royal Clan, we naturally won't be stingy with Opportunities and resources. As long as you honestly follow under my Beast Demon Royal Clan, these benefits will naturally not be lacking for you!”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Shi Lie and the other two stiffened slightly.
These words were rather Yin and Yang.
Who was he referring to!
The three of them were all a bit displeased, but precisely because they were in the Beast Demon Royal Clan's territory, they couldn't show it.
They could only force a smile.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Dragon Demon Emperor seemed to sense something, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Immediately after, his expression instantly turned gloomy.
He suddenly stood up, a terrifying aura emanating from him. He looked down at Shi Lie, Tiger Demon Emperor, and Niu Mo Emperor, and a gloomy look appeared in his eyes.
“What's wrong?”
Shi Lie and the other two looked at Dragon Demon Emperor in confusion.
But they saw Dragon Demon Emperor's expression gradually becoming ferocious: “Someone has obtained the Demon God Inheritance of my Beast Demon Royal Clan!”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the three changed slightly.
Demon God Inheritance... This was a good thing.
But why was Dragon Demon Emperor making this expression now? Could it be... The hearts of the three instantly trembled.
For a moment, the three exchanged glances, all seeing the grave look in each other's eyes.
Dragon Demon Emperor noticed their small movements, and the gloomy look in his eyes grew even stronger. Although they couldn't perceive the situation of their Beast Demon Royal Clan's Prodigies within the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda.
However, they could use the secret method left by the Demon God to know if the Legacy had been taken, and even if it was taken by a Prodigy of the Beast Demon Royal Clan, there was still a way to detect it.
This was just a small trick the Demon God left behind to prevent the Legacy from being snatched away.
And now... this trick had come true.
The Demon God Inheritance had been taken, and the person who took it was not a Prodigy of their Beast Demon Royal Clan!
In other words... the person who took the Demon God Inheritance must be one of the Lion Demon Clan, Niu Mo race, or even the Tiger Demon Clan!
This had already... completely infringed upon the interests of the Beast Demon Royal Clan.
Shi Lie's heart pounded constantly; he was somewhat uneasy, always feeling that something was about to happen.
“This Demon God Inheritance, it couldn't have been taken by Shi Ming, could it!”
Shi Lie's heart trembled slightly, and this terrifying thought emerged.
“Three of you... how about accompanying this Emperor to the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda to take a look?”
Without leaving much time for the three, Dragon Demon Emperor's cold voice slowly sounded, falling into their ears.
A hint of bitterness appeared on the Faces of the three; with such a situation, they might not even be able to leave safely.
Sure enough, the next moment, powerful figures appeared around the pavilion, each exuding a strong aura.
Devil King!
All of them were Devil Kings!
A total of five Devil Kings, plus Dragon Demon Emperor, made six Devil Kings, staring intently at Shi Lie and the other two.
As if looking at prisoners.
For a moment, the bitterness on the Faces of the three grew even stronger.
Left with no choice, they could only follow the Beast Demon Royal Clan's Devil King experts to the location where the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda was opening.
Time passed bit by bit, and soon the opening time of the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda was approaching.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the entrance of the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda, unmoving, afraid of missing anything.
Soon, the ancient pagoda appeared, and a ray of light from an exit also entered everyone's sight.
Under the gaze of everyone, a young man with a tiger head slowly walked out.
