Chapter 539: Both Are Evildoers

At the same time, in front of the two, a bronze book emanating a faint glow appeared, with “Gu Xu Emperor Scripture” clearly written on its cover.

Evidently, this remnant will of Ancient Void intended to leave behind a successor with extraordinary talent.

Only his successor would be qualified to take away his most important possessions.

"Lin Yu, there are no shortcuts now. Let's see if you can still get there before me!"

As soon as Ancient Void’s remnant will finished speaking, Luo Tian revealed a cold smile.

As he spoke, he sat down on the spot, opened the Emperor Scripture in front of him, and began to comprehend it.

He had originally thought of using suicide to trigger the system's protection function, allowing the system to take him over.

Although he would be severely injured, as long as he could get through, that was all that mattered.

But he never expected such a simple method.

It was just an Ancient Emperor Scripture, under the system's amplification of comprehension, comprehending it to entry level would be incredibly easy.

He didn't believe that Lin Yu could surpass him in this aspect.

The system was an utterly unreasonable existence.

"Heh heh, we'll know once we try!"

Lin Yu responded coldly.

He also sat down and began to comprehend.

When it came to comprehending things, he truly feared no one.

The other party had a system, did he not?

Cultivation points were almost omnipotent, and an Immortal Emperor Scripture was completely within reach.

Moreover, he currently had enough cultivation points, so he wasn't afraid of running out.

"Little Lin, you must be careful. The system's boost to comprehension is almost identical. His comprehension speed might truly be no slower than yours!"

Just as he sat down, a prompt from the system appeared in his mind.

The voice wasn't loud, but his brows furrowed slightly.

He had thought that his own system, being able to detect the other's existence, would be of a higher level, and its auxiliary effect would naturally be stronger.

He never expected that this thing's boost would be the same.

In that case, he absolutely had to take it seriously.

The next moment.

The rustling sound of bronze pages turning echoed in the silent space above the altar.

Both of them sat cross-legged, each enveloped by the faint golden glow emanating from the Gu Xu Emperor Scripture. The two figures almost simultaneously entered a state of comprehension—

Silver light, like system data streams, flickered faintly on Luo Tian's brow, disassembling and reorganizing the profound runes on the Emperor Scripture.

Lin Yu, on the other hand, activated his cultivation points, transforming them into invisible tentacles, tracing the Dao rhyme origin of Ancient Void Immortal Emperor along the scripture's Veins.

“Swish, swish, swish—”

The bronze book automatically turned pages at an astonishing speed; at first, it paused for a moment, but then it moved like a fleeting light, the edges of the pages igniting with golden flames due to the rapid turning.

The glow on it, from the initial firefly's faint light, gradually became a light cocoon enveloping their bodies.

On the first day, it was as dense as morning mist; by the third day, it was like the scorching sun.

By the seventh day, where the two light cocoons collided, subtle ripples of law were even stirred up, causing the chaotic airflow above the altar to churn.

Behind the altar.

Ye Qingxuan, supporting the heavily injured Second Elder, gazed at the two figures enveloped in golden light, her eyes filled with unconcealed envy.

She had tried to approach the bronze book but was repelled by an invisible force, unable to even see the title page of the Emperor Scripture.

Now, seeing the terrifying speed at which the two comprehended, her heart was filled only with sighs—though both were prodigies, the gap was like a chasm.

She glanced at the weakened Second Elder beside her and whispered:

"Grandpa, after we get out, we must invite Young lord Lin back to the clan, no matter what."

The Second Elder coughed up a mouthful of blood and nodded with difficulty:

"This child's comprehension is heaven-defying, and he possesses unfathomable means. If he can be used by my Ye family..."

Before he finished speaking, he was already awestruck by the increasingly powerful Emperor Dao pressure emanating from the two, the rest of his words completely stuck in his throat.

Ye Qingxuan looked in Lin Yu's direction, her fingertips tightening slightly, and a thought, which even she found audacious, arose in her mind:

If she could become a Dao companion with such a figure, let alone the position of Young Family Head, perhaps even helping the Ye family ascend to the peak of all realms would not be an illusion.

This idea was like a seed taking root and sprouting in her heart.

She would not provoke Luo Tian; he was from the Luo family.

But Lin Yu was different. If he truly was the one who killed Sikong Jing, then according to the information they had investigated, Lin Yu was a complete rogue cultivator from a low-level continent.

She could completely pull him into her camp.

The more she thought about it, the more possible it seemed, and the more determined she became in her heart.

If she could, she might even offer herself in advance.

And time quietly flew by with the circulation of the Emperor Scripture.

The Ancient Immortal Emperor Scripture, which ordinary prodigies would take decades or even centuries to even grasp the basics of, was conquered at a visible speed under the combined boosts of their systems and cultivation points.

The runes within the light cocoons went from blurry to clear, from scattered to coherent, finally condensing into a complete embryonic form of the Emperor Dao in their sea of consciousness.

A month later.

When the chaotic airflow outside the altar churned for the third time, the two light cocoons suddenly vibrated violently!

“Buzz—!”

The two bronze books simultaneously emitted a deafening hum, their pages instantly flipping to the very last one.

The golden light on them surged like a volcanic eruption, illuminating the entire altar as if it were daytime.

The flowing runes broke free from the book's confines, transforming into two golden dragons that separately entered Luo Tian's and Lin Yu's brows.

“Whoosh—”

The two opened their eyes almost simultaneously, Emperor Dao runes flashing and then disappearing from their pupils.

Luo Tian's lips curled into a confident smile, his Immortal King Realm aura becoming even more condensed due to the integration of the Emperor Dao origin.

He had actually broken through his realm while comprehending the Emperor Scripture, truly reaching the Immortal King Realm.

His combat power had also ascended to another level.

Lin Yu, on the other hand, had a calm expression, with a wisp of faint golden Emperor Dao law lingering at his fingertips. His aura was contained, and whether he had broken through like Luo Tian was only known to himself; outsiders could not discern it.

"This... it's done?"

Ye Qingxuan exclaimed in surprise, while Xing Feng and the Second Elder beside her were even more dumbfounded.

To comprehend the entry level of an Immortal Emperor's legacy in one month—this speed could no longer be described as “evildoer”; it was simply defying the rules of the Heavenly Dao!

How could other evildoers ever hold their heads high?

Honestly, all three of them were shocked. These were the two most terrifying prodigies and evildoers they had ever seen or even heard of.

Even the prodigies within those Imperial families and Imperial-level sects and forces couldn't compare to these two before them.

They could simply be described as ‘terrifying as such’.

On the other side.

Ancient Void’s remnant will was also somewhat bewildered, his hollow eyes scanning back and forth between the two. His originally solidified figure even showed a rare ripple.

Clearly, this situation of completing comprehension at the same time completely exceeded his expectations.

His remaining consciousness was rapidly calculating but could not find a corresponding judgment rule.

However, after a moment, the remnant will finally acted.

He slowly turned sideways, revealing the churning chaotic mist behind him, the Grand Void Halberd angled towards the ground, no longer intending to block them.
