I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate

Beyond the Great Desert Kingdom and past the borders of the Lin Hua Continent lay the endless Desolate Desert.

The Desolate Desert lived up to its name. Yellow sand swirled, the scorching sun was vicious, and strange beasts roamed everywhere. Not a single oasis could be seen, making it a truly desperate place.

But for Su Ze and his two companions, it obviously posed no challenge.

The strongest Beast Kings in the Desolate Desert were merely a pair of fifth-rank beasts, and they’d probably be lucky to escape if they saw Su Ze’s group.

So the trio flew brazenly through the skies above the Desolate Desert, their journey completely unimpeded. Su Ze even spent the time idly chatting with Mr. Ya.

The two talked about the Bloodline Crystals they had recently acquired. Based on the information Chen Suifeng had gathered, Su Ze already had a good idea of the skills contained within them.

Unfortunately, the skill contained in the Moon God-level Bloodline Crystal he held was not a good fit for him; it was likely some kind of escape ability.

What Su Ze needed now were attack skills. His lack of them prevented his ”Strongest Punch” from ever reaching its full potential.

Mr. Ya’s Star God-level Bloodline Crystal, on the other hand, might contain a decent attack skill. However, for one, a Star God-level Bloodline Crystal was a bit low-level for Su Ze. For another, Mr. Ya was also very keen on absorbing it himself. Thus, the two ultimately decided not to trade.

For Mr. Ya, this was an excellent opportunity to obtain an attack skill.

Since the Bloodline Crystal only contained a single skill, it meant he was guaranteed to get an attack skill.

Although a Star God-level Bloodline Crystal was also a bit low-level for Mr. Ya—after all, he had already absorbed an Overlord-rank extract—he would have to wait until he completed his fifth evolution and became a Venerable Powerhouse to absorb this one.

By then, he would be perfectly capable of absorbing a sixth-rank extract to gain a high-level, sixth-rank skill.

The skill provided by a Star God-level Bloodline Crystal would be, at best, a weak sixth-rank.

Still, Mr. Ya was willing to take the hit for the sake of getting an attack skill.

Su Ze, meanwhile, still had to worry about his next extract.

Before they knew it, the group had crossed the Desolate Desert and entered the Myriad Beast Mountain Range.

Now that they were in the Myriad Beast Mountain Range, even with their combat strength, they had to be a bit more careful.

After all, the mountain range was home to more sixth-rank beasts than one could count on one hand.

In terms of danger, the Myriad Beast Mountain Range ranked among the highest on all of Blue Star.

Of course, with their power, even encountering one or two sixth-rank beasts posed no mortal danger. That is, unless they acted too recklessly and drew the ire of multiple sixth-rank beasts, leading to a siege.

The Myriad Beast Mountain Range stretched for thousands of miles, its peaks lush and green, ancient trees scraping the sky. All sorts of rare Spiritual Plants and unusual beasts were hidden within, making it an absolute treasure trove.

However, its danger meant that very few Hunters dared to venture here.

Su Ze’s group’s destination was only in the outer region of the Myriad Beast Mountain Range, so it wasn’t too dangerous, but there were still quite a few third-rank beasts along the way.

This was also a form of screening by the land of inheritance for its successors; those who were too weak would never even make it this far.

Following the location provided by Mu Wang, Su Ze and his companions quickly arrived near their destination.

Along the way, beasts occasionally tried to attack them, but Pulamon had only to reveal a hint of a Legendary powerhouse’s aura to scare them all away.

Their destination was halfway up a large mountain, but after Su Ze released his Perception Tentacles to probe the area for a moment, he found no trace of the inheritance ground.

He wasn’t surprised. The inheritance ground was hidden and wouldn’t be easy to find; he was already mentally prepared for this.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken over a thousand years for someone to discover it.

Su Ze took out the Soul Nourishing Jade Stone and began to communicate with Mu Wang, asking for the exact location of the inheritance entrance.

”A cave...”

A moment later, he put the jade stone away.

According to Mu Wang, the inheritance ground was inside a cave. This reminded Su Ze of the wuxia novels he’d read in his past life, where the protagonist always had fortuitous encounters in caves.

He used his Perception Tentacles to search for all the nearby caves, preparing to investigate them one by one.

The external inheritance was inside one of these caves, but it was clearly shielded from detection. It couldn’t be found by relying on Spiritual Power probes or Perception Tentacles alone; they had to approach and search each one personally.

Pulamon stood guard outside while Su Ze and Mr. Ya split up to investigate the caves individually.

’Mu Wang said that people with decent talent would feel something when they got close to the right cave. Mr. Ya and I should both have decent enough talent...’

Su Ze flitted past one cave after another, pausing only for a moment at each entrance. If he felt no special sensation, he moved on immediately.

Finally, he stopped in front of one. As he approached this cave, he felt a mysterious power from within, pulling him, beckoning him forward.

’This must be the special sensation Mu Wang was talking about.’

Su Ze sent his Perception Tentacles to explore the cave’s interior but found nothing out of the ordinary. It looked like a completely normal cave.

An Iron Armor Bear family also lived inside—three of them in total, all third-rank beasts.

However, though they lived in this cave, they seemed completely unaware of anything special about it, treating it as just an ordinary den.

Su Ze called Mr. Ya over, and the two of them walked into the cave together.

Inside the dark, damp cave, the smell of decay hung in the air. Seeing people enter, the three Iron Armor Bears all took a combat stance.

But Su Ze simply pressed down with his Spiritual Power. The spiritual pressure of a Venerable Powerhouse was released, and the three Iron Armor Bears immediately began to tremble, cowering in a corner, too afraid to move.
