174: What do you mean?!
"Hmph!"
Chu Hao snorted coldly and stood there without saying a word, clearly looking as if he were demanding that they give the Legacy to his brother.
Just at this moment, Lin Ye reached out and placed a hand on Chu Hao's shoulder.
"Chu Hao, will you listen to what I say or not?"
Hearing this, Chu Hao quickly turned his head, his face devoid of any arrogance.
"Brother Lin, I will naturally listen to your words."
"Very well." Lin Ye nodded and continued, "Since the Seniors want to give you the Legacy, then you should accept it. Listen to me; I won't harm you."
"But..."
"No 'buts'!"
Chu Hao was about to continue speaking when he was interrupted by Lin Ye: "Since you listen to me, hurry up and accept the Seniors' Legacy. If you don't accept it, then from now on, you and I will go our separate ways!"
"Brother Lin..."
Chu Hao looked deeply moved.
Throughout this journey, Lin Ye had done so much for him, and now he even wanted to give him all the Legacy.
Wouldn't that mean Brother Lin had come for nothing, while making so many enemies?
In the end, he was the one taking all the benefits!
The Old Ones watched Chu Hao's moved expression, each of them feeling somewhat speechless.
Seriously, are you two putting on a display of brotherly love here?
We are trying to give you benefits, not kill you. Besides, we are the ones giving you the Legacy, why are you getting all emotional about the other kid?!
However...
Feeling the sincerity in Lin Ye's words, the Old Ones were somewhat puzzled.
This kid carries great Luck, and his character is so noble? Could it be that he only occasionally strayed onto the wrong path? Since that's the case, should we give him some benefits too?
After all, it is inevitable for young people to lose their way sometimes.
Crack, crack, crack...
Just as everyone was pondering, the cracks in the Universe grew larger and larger.
This caused the many living beings on the battlefield to curse at the Old Ones, urging them to hurry up and send out the Legacy, otherwise, wouldn't they all cease to exist?
Even though they were merely projections, they still possessed their own thoughts.
Who could remain indifferent to their own death?!
"Alright, there isn't much time left. Chu Hao, hurry up and accept the Legacy!"
"Yes, Brother Lin..."
Chu Hao gritted his teeth and looked at the Old Ones with a tragic expression: "Come on, do it! I'm ready! But don't think I'll be grateful to you; I won't, not even a little bit."
The Old Ones: "..."
At this moment, they had an urge to give the Legacy to Lin Ye, even if it meant incurring great Karma.
After all, this kid named Chu Hao was simply too foolish and too infuriating!
But thinking about it was one thing; they couldn't actually do such a thing!
The matter of Karma is mysterious and profound. The higher one's cultivation, the more one cares about Karma. After all, in the final reckoning, Karma is the most important link!
"Kid! You should be secretly happy; if there were a third option, I, this old man, would definitely not give you even a single hair!"
The Old Ones rolled their eyes at Chu Hao.
Following this, several Old Ones stepped out from the crowd and extended a hand.
Hum...
Streams of golden spiritual energy enveloped Chu Hao, and various runes flickered on his body; this was a type of Legacy.
Various Bao techniques and Cultivation Techniques evoked the chanting of the Great Dao.
It was evident how terrifying the Legacy Chu Hao was receiving was. Even though it was just inside a painting, the chanting of the Great Dao had appeared!
Time passed second by second, and those golden auras wrapped Chu Hao into a large cocoon. After an unknown amount of time, a cracking sound accompanied it.
One of Chu Hao's hands reached out from the large cocoon!
Boom!!!
The large cocoon completely vanished, and two rays of light shot from Chu Hao's eyes. His golden blood energy soared into the sky; clearly, he had obtained an extremely powerful Legacy.
Chu Hao had already decided that once he got out, he must give this Legacy to Lin Ye!
This would be his way of giving an explanation to Lin Ye!
"Hmm?"
Just as Chu Hao was pondering, he discovered that his body had turned transparent.
The sudden transformation left him somewhat dazed.
"No need to think about it. You have accepted our Legacy, and since the matter here is settled, it is time for you to leave!"
Hearing the Old Ones' words, Chu Hao nodded, then looked at Lin Ye with firm eyes: "Brother Lin, I'll head out first. I'll wait for you in the hall. I will definitely hand this Legacy over to you."
After saying this, Chu Hao's figure vanished from the battlefield.
Saying he would give the Legacy to Lin Ye right in front of these Old Ones.
It would be impossible not to be angry!
The Old Ones had never seen such an ungrateful wretch; they gave him the Legacy, only to be scolded, and he even wanted to give this Legacy to Lin Ye!
However, he would find out once he got outside!
These Legacies belonged to him, and they would remain his!
These Old Ones did not know how many eras they had lived through, so how could they not have left some safeguards?
Thinking of this, the Old Ones smiled slightly and turned their gaze toward Lin Ye. Now, as long as they gave him a portion of the Legacy, this constantly shattering Universe would be able to return to its original state.
"Kid, a piece of advice: some eerie things should be let go when it's time. The Karma within them is not something you can bear!"
"That's right. The reason we didn't want to give you the Legacy this time is because we do not want to incur Karma!"
"Of course, we won't let you come here for nothing. I will give you my own collection. Although it doesn't compare to our Legacy, it is still some gain, isn't it?"
"..."
Facing the Old Ones' tone, which was like giving alms, Lin Ye showed absolutely no sign of anger.
Instead, he observed everything around him with great interest.
"We are talking to you, kid. Do you know what respect is?!"
Seeing Lin Ye directly ignore them, the Old Ones could not help but feel somewhat annoyed.
Hearing this, Lin Ye turned his head and looked at the group of Old Ones with a smile.
For some reason, the Old Ones suddenly felt their hearts tremble, as if they had been targeted by something terrifying!
Sure enough, the thing on this kid was too eerie; not giving him the Legacy was the right decision!
Just at this moment, Lin Ye suddenly spoke: "Who exactly left behind this world within the painting? Is he still in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing Lin Ye's words, the leading Old One was somewhat surprised: "This is automatically generated by the Dao within the Ancient Battlefield; naturally, there is no creator. The Dao is omnipresent, mysterious..."
"Say no more."
Lin Ye directly interrupted the Old One's words.
At this moment, the Old One was somewhat puzzled; he did not know the reason why this kid before him was asking this.
Now that the entire world within the painting was about to collapse, they had to hurry and produce a Legacy, then let him leave!
"Kid, although this Legacy is just our collection, it possesses unimaginable power. After you accept it, you must never stray onto the wrong path."
"Otherwise, the Dao will naturally come to claim you."
"Hehe..."
Lin Ye sneered and did not reply.
This world within the painting could not last much longer. The Old One extended his hand, and a wisp of azure light shot directly toward Lin Ye.
Bang!
The moment that azure light approached Lin Ye, it was deflected!
"What do you mean?!"
