290: Lord of the Ancient Moon

Not long after Xu Yuan and Xu Huang left the volcanic cluster, they encountered the emergence of a Yao Race Great Emperor's Legacy.

At that time, it attracted many powers, resulting in fierce competition and heavy casualties; seven Eternal Giants alone perished, and many other Quasi-Emperor Giants also fell.

Ultimately, this Legacy fell into the hands of a Yao Race known as the Purple Gold Dragon Python.

The Purple Gold Dragon Python is a major Yao Race, ranking among the top hundred within the Yao Race. There were beings above the Emperor Realm in their history, though that was in a very distant era. Their Dao Legacy has since been lost, so much so that after the Darkness Upheaval, no Dao Realm experts have appeared.

Xu Yuan did not participate in the Legacy competition; he did not need a Great Emperor's Legacy, especially one from the Yao Race. He merely plundered resources.

As the Great Emperor's Secret Realm had been undisturbed for countless years, it contained many Emperor Medicines, seventy percent of which fell into Xu Yuan's hands.

This aroused the covetousness of other powers, but after Xu Yuan forcefully slew two Eternal Giants, the various powers immediately ceased their activities.

Over the next year or so, Xu Yuan traveled throughout the Star Moon Ancient Battlefield. Gradually, Xu Yuan, who had been low-key for twenty-seven years, once again attracted the attention of the major powers.

The subsequent battle even caused all races to develop a strong killing intent towards Xu Yuan!

In the second year of entering the Secret Realm, the Legacy of the Fire Peak Divine Lord, one of the five Dao Lord Legacies, emerged.

A Dao Lord is an existence capable of establishing a first-rate power, able to ignore any Karma, listen to the breathing of heaven and earth, comprehend the great Dao truths of the creation era, and resonate with the immortal!

Such a powerful individual, even in a Supreme Power, could serve as a core Elder.

Take Cangwu Dao Academy, for instance; it is itself a Supreme Power, and there are only about twenty Dao Lords within its academy. One can imagine how attractive the Legacy of the Fire Peak Divine Lord is?

The emergence of the Fire Peak Divine Lord's Legacy this time attracted over seventy percent of the powers in the Star Moon Ancient Battlefield!

Even those from the Upper Realm came. Most Geniuses who can descend to the Lower Realm have strong backing, with Dao Realm or higher experts in their Families, and some even have Dao Lord experts behind their powers. Yet, even so, they could not ignore a Dao Lord's Legacy.

After layers of trials, the ultimate winner exceeded everyone's expectations!

No one expected that a Human Race boy named Xu Huang would obtain the Legacy of the Fire Peak Divine Lord, and his cultivation was only at the Four-Step Quasi-Emperor Realm.

How could this be acceptable to those arrogant Prodigies and True Kings?

Especially the Spirit Race Divine Son who descended from the Upper Realm; he hailed from the Upper Realm's Fire Spirit Clan, an existence born for fire. His descent to the Lower Realm this time was precisely to obtain a Dao Lord's Legacy.

The Fire Spirit Clan is only a part of the Spirit Race, with the strongest being only a Dao Lord. If he could obtain the Legacy of the Fire Peak Divine Lord, his status within the clan would surpass that of several others!

Upon learning that the Legacy of the Fire Peak Divine Lord would emerge, he was excited because those others did not look down on ordinary Legacies, which is why they did not descend, allowing him to gain an advantage!

Who would have thought it would be taken by a Human Race boy? How could he not be enraged?

Thus, a conflict erupted. This Peerless Quasi-Emperor Realm Divine Son shamelessly attacked Xu Huang.

However, although Xu Huang was weak, he was not alone; behind him was the entire Xu Family!

Xu Yuan made his move!

In the end, that Divine Son, whose combat power in the Star Moon Ancient Battlefield could rank among the top twenty, was slain by Xu Yuan's sword in the Legacy land. All the Fire Spirit Clan experts were also completely annihilated by Xu Yuan!

Besides the Fire Spirit Clan, more than a dozen other powers participated in the competition, including those from the Human Race, various other races, and also individuals from the Upper Realm.

Xu Yuan showed no mercy, single-handedly slaying eleven Peerless Quasi-Emperors, over thirty Eternal Giants, and more than tens of thousands of other Quasi-Emperors and Sacred Lords.

Moreover, throughout the entire process, Xu Yuan did not use his Sacred Eye, only his Supreme Sword Body!

This powerful display of force intimidated all parties. Coupled with the Xu Family having several Peerless Quasi-Emperor guards, the Xu Family ultimately left with the Legacy, safe and sound!

After this incident, Xu Yuan's reputation soared.

His battle record spread, shocking those powers that had left early or had not come.

Furthermore, people from Heavens Secret Pavilion ranked Xu Yuan among the top three powerhouses on the Star Moon Ancient Battlefield's combat power list!

The other two who were equally famous were Xing Yun, the current Crown Prince of the Star Moon Immortal Dynasty, and Feng Qian, the Crown Prince of the Yin Yang Divine Dynasty!

Both of these individuals had also achieved battle records comparable to Xu Yuan's!

However, Xu Yuan's actions also caused many powers to reveal a smile of anticipation.

Setting aside other things, how could the powers behind those who could descend to the Lower Realm be simple?

No matter how strong Xu Yuan's backing was, could it be stronger than an Upper Realm power?

Nevertheless, in the time that followed, the Xu Family could be said to have enjoyed immense prestige in the Star Moon Ancient Battlefield, gaining many benefits.

As time drew closer, the Legacies of the other four Dao Lords emerged successively. However, they were all Legacies of various races, and typically, such Legacies have very clear targeting.

Especially towards the Human Race, as the Human Race was once the blood food of all races. Even if these Dao Lords perished, they would not leave their Legacies to the Human Race, which left many Human Race powers with nothing!

However, the Xu Family still harvested many Emperor Medicines and Emperor Weapons from these locations!

As for Dao Medicines and Dao Weapons, it wasn't that they didn't want to take them, but rather that the dangers were too great, beyond what Xu Yuan and his group could handle. These items would ultimately only fall into the hands of the Legacy's recipient.

This was also why Xu Huang's acquisition of the Legacy caused other powers to target him, as this represented the lifelong efforts of a Dao Lord!

Moreover, even upon obtaining a Legacy, one does not instantly acquire all the treasures. Instead, corresponding treasures are unlocked only upon reaching a certain Realm.

This also serves to prevent successors from becoming overly reliant on treasures and losing the will to become stronger.

Finally, of these four Dao Lord Legacies, two were taken by the True Demon Race and the Nine Dark Heaven Yin Python Race among the myriad races. Another was taken by a mysterious Upper Realm power, and one remained unacquired, as no one passed the trials, causing it to seal itself off, awaiting its next opening!

With only three months remaining until the three-year deadline, the Dao Lord's Ancient Estate finally appeared!

A Dao Lord Realm expert is a powerhouse capable of establishing a Supreme Power. Such experts, the masters of those great sects, each one is a true powerhouse in the world.

Even in the Star Moon Ancient Battlefield, there are only five such experts!

Throughout the countless years, a Dao Lord's Ancient Estate has appeared more than ten times, but only one estate was taken by a Yao Race expert in the ancient era.

The one that appeared this time is the Legacy of the Lord Guyue, one of the five Dao Lords who had never appeared before, and also the strongest among the five.

The Lord Guyue was one of the most capable assistants under the Lord of Stars and Moon. Her cultivation was at the Late Stage Dao Lord Realm, and her combat power was comparable to a Peak Dao Lord. In the final battle of that year, she perished with two experts of the same level in a state of extreme sublimation!

As a capable assistant to the Lord of Stars and Moon, she possessed many Secret Treasures. Even a small portion could elevate many powers by several levels in the coming years.

Therefore, the powers of the Star Moon Ancient Battlefield went mad!

However, just the outermost Formation of the Lord Guyue's Ancient Estate dealt a heavy blow to many powers!

The Lord Guyue's Ancient Estate is located in a valley, with the surrounding area entirely covered by Formations, including an anti-flight Formation!

This Formation blocked over sixty percent of the powers, and many Peerless Quasi-Emperors died beneath the Formation.

However, this could not stop the powerful forces, such as the Yin Yang Divine Dynasty, which, with its Bagua Formation of Yin and Yang, forcibly broke through the outermost Formation and entered the Ancient Estate.

Those Upper Realm powers also had their own methods!
