King of Ten Thousand Years

”Luo Tian got in!”

The prodigies of the Spirit List were either surprised or envious.

’Xiaotian...’

The white-robed woman sighed inwardly. A trace of worry appeared in her eyes, which were as clear as autumn pools.

Unknown Heritage Treasure Lands were usually fraught with danger, and what’s more, Wu Ye of the Sea Hunter Race had also gone inside.

The moment Luo Tian went in, Qi Yuntian walked toward the layer of distorted blue light.

His body sank slightly, and he frowned.

BUZZ!

Qi Yuntian released his dazzling, crystalline True Essence to resist the formless pressure and charged forward!

He inched forward, the process agonizingly slow.

After ten breaths, Qi Yuntian had only advanced a few inches.

’That kid just now was a fluke. This one at the Earth Element Realm Second Layer must be the most talented among the humans, but from the looks of it, he won’t be able to get in.’

In the distance, the slender woman from the Sea Hunter Race had regained her composure, her tone certain.

She hadn’t been able to enter herself, so there was no way a human like Qi Yuntian could.

Qi Yuntian’s expression was grave. A determined, sharp brilliance erupted from his eyes, and the aura around him grew increasingly powerful!

He was still persisting, inching forward, trying to break through the layer of blue light.

”I will not lose to him again!”

Qi Yuntian let out a low roar as his True Essence erupted in full force and he activated his Martial Vein.

A vast white phantom appeared above his head. Within it was a silhouette clad in Golden Battle Armor, like a War God, radiating a shocking battle intent that seemed ready to challenge the heavens!

”What an astonishing Martial Vein Phenomenon!”

Both the humans and the Sea Hunter Race cried out in alarm.

”A Celestial Tier Martial Vein!”

The slender woman’s face was filled with surprise and a hint of jealousy.

A Celestial Tier Martial Vein was a major dividing line.

Even in the world beyond the Dongchen Continent, Celestial Tier Martial Veins were extremely rare. She herself only possessed Earth Tier Top Grade Martial Veins.

BUZZ!

The chaotic, distorted blue light wave fluctuated violently.

Qi Yuntian suddenly took a large step forward and passed right through.

”Qi Yuntian succeeded too!”

The humans were filled with surprise, even starting to feel that entering the Heritage Treasure Land wasn’t hard at all.

”What?”

On the Sea Hunter Race’s side, the slender woman was deeply struck.

Just moments ago, she had claimed it would be impressive if even one human could get in.

But two had tried, and both had succeeded. It was an instant slap in the face.

”Let’s go try too!”

”Maybe this heritage is meant for us humans. It might be easy to get in.”

Some of the other Spirit List prodigies were eager to give it a try.

They had been worried about Wu Ye inside, but now that two Kings of the Celestial Pride had entered, their worries diminished somewhat.

Ye Feng, Shangguan Su, Yi Jingwen, Song Luyao, and the others all rushed to the giant blue doorframe.

But every single one of them failed. Not one could enter.

A wave of disappointment washed over the crowd.

’So it’s actually this difficult.’

Suddenly, BUZZ!

The blue light wave shimmered, and a graceful figure in white passed through. It was the mysterious ally of the Yunxiao Sect, the white-robed woman.

”She got in too?”

Ye Feng was slightly surprised. He increasingly felt that this white-robed woman was unfathomable. ’What is her origin?’

”Three people have gone in!”

The members of the Sea Hunter Race were all extremely shocked, finding it unbelievable.

They looked down on humans, believing themselves to be superior. Who would have thought that three humans could actually enter?

”Hmph, what’s the use of three people getting in? If they run into Senior Brother Wu, they’re all dead!”

A jealous fire flashed in the slender woman’s eyes as she snorted coldly.

...

After passing through the layer of blue light, Luo Tian felt space itself tremble.

After a moment of darkness, his surroundings instantly brightened.

He had arrived at an incredibly vast Martial Arts Arena.

At the other end of the Martial Arts Arena were four members of the Sea Hunter Race. Two were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, while the other two were practicing their techniques.

Tu Kai was one of those practicing techniques. He suddenly saw a pillar of light descend in the distance, from which an upright, handsome figure emerged.

”Luo Tian!”

Tu Kai cried out in disbelief.

The other three Sea Hunters were startled by his shout.

”Luo Tian?”

Wu Ye slowly opened his eyes. A cold glint shot from his dark green pupils.

”How did a human get in?”

Another member of the Sea Hunter Race, a green-haired woman, had a cold and arrogant expression, revealing a faint disdain.

Before they entered this place, they had ordered the other Sea Hunters to slaughter all the humans in the Secret Realm Space.

Although the humans were slightly more numerous, the individual strength of the Sea Hunters was far greater, so they should have easily completed the task.

Even if a few slipped through the net, it would be understandable.

But for a human to have entered the heritage land... what was going on?

SWOOSH!

The green-haired woman soared into the air, an eerie green airflow erupting from her body. She exuded a cold, oppressive aura, her eyes brimming with intense killing intent!

”Earth Element Realm Second Peak!”

Luo Tian’s expression changed as he sensed the danger.

Suddenly, an ancient, majestic voice resounded throughout the space, like an imperial edict that could not be defied: ”Fighting is forbidden in this place!”

BOOM!

The green-haired woman charging toward Luo Tian was suddenly suppressed by a surge of blue light and slammed to the ground.

Then, a three-meter-tall blue figure of light drifted down in front of Luo Tian. It had an ancient, majestic face, hair that flowed like waves, and a blue fish tail.

In the presence of this faint blue phantom, Luo Tian felt an invisible pressure and didn’t dare show any disrespect.

’A Mermaid?’

Luo Tian stared at the blue figure. Although its form was blurry, it was clearly from the Mermaid Race.

The Mysterious Blue Treasure Pearl he carried had been taken from the mouth of that Mermaid Corpse.

And the ones who had established this heritage were also from the Mermaid Race.

Just then, SWISH! SWISH!

Two more pillars of light descended, and Qi Yuntian and the white-robed woman appeared.

”You’re here too?”

Luo Tian wasn’t surprised.

Qi Yuntian was the previous King of the Celestial Pride, with astonishing talent, potential, and a powerful background.

As for the white-robed woman, she was extremely mysterious. She was clearly very strong but had deliberately hidden her strength during the Celestial Pride Conference. She also gave Luo Tian a strange sense of familiarity.

”How did two more humans get in?”

The green-haired woman’s eyes were cold, her face filled with disgust.

”When I get out of here, I’ll definitely teach that group of trash a lesson!”

The green-haired woman said angrily.

Four of them had come in, and there were still twelve Sea Hunters outside, yet they couldn’t even stop these humans!

”Pass the trial, and you will have a chance to obtain my master’s heritage treasure!”

The faint blue phantom said to Luo Tian’s group of three.

”This is your first trial!”

With a wave of its hand, a screen of light appeared before each of the three humans, covered in dense text.

”This is... a Sword Martial Skill?”

Luo Tian recognized it with a single glance.

This Martial Skill consisted of a single Sword Technique, and its Tier reached Earth Tier Middle Grade.

The contents of the Sword Technique were extremely complex and obscure, with many irrational parts. It was quite difficult to master, and if not used proficiently, its power was only equivalent to an Earth Tier Low Grade skill.

One could say it was a failed Sword Martial Skill.

”Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, comprehend the Martial Skill and perfect it!”

The faint blue figure’s expression was cold. After speaking, it vanished.

Luo Tian saw that both Qi Yuntian and the white-robed woman were frowning in thought.

He estimated that everyone’s trial was likely the same: an extremely complex and flawed Earth Tier Middle Grade Martial Skill.

Trying to successfully comprehend the Martial Skill within the time of one incense stick was already difficult enough, let alone perfecting it.

It would be hard for anyone without supreme talent and Comprehension to accomplish this.

’I could use the Celestial Book to perfect it...’

That was Luo Tian’s first thought.

But he immediately rejected it.

’I can’t rely too much on the Celestial Book...’

Luo Tian wanted to solve this trial with his own strength. If he really couldn’t, then he would use the power of the Celestial Book.

Thus, Luo Tian began to study it carefully, relying on his experience and intuition to perfect this Sword Technique.

After a moment of thought, a faint smile appeared on Luo Tian’s face. ”This doesn’t seem too hard.”

He had comprehended a Sword Intent Prototype, and his understanding of all things related to the Sword Dao had reached another level, which helped him comprehend and cultivate Sword Skills.

In addition, the Second-Layer of the Celestial Sword Technique, the Ruyi Realm, also enhanced his abilities in this area. He could clearly see the irrational parts and flaws in the Swordsmanship and modify them for perfection.

Just then, ”I’m finished!”

Wu Ye stood up.

The faint blue figure descended once more.

Wu Ye then began to demonstrate a Martial Skill; what he performed was a Claw Technique.

It seemed the faint blue figure could discern what everyone was skilled at and gave them a corresponding Martial Skill trial.

”As expected of Senior Brother Wu! He finished in only a third of the allotted time!”

Tu Kai flattered him from the side.

”Pass!”

The faint blue figure said calmly, then pointed to the exit of the Martial Arts Arena. ”You may leave the Martial Arts Arena!”

’A third of the time?’

Luo Tian and Qi Yuntian’s expressions flickered slightly.

To meet the requirement in such a short time, Wu Ye’s talent was simply terrifying!

”Heh heh, you can forget about the heritage in this place!”

”By the time you pass the first trial, Senior Brother Wu might have already obtained the heritage!”

Tu Kai said to Luo Tian and the others with a smug look on his face.

Luo Tian turned a deaf ear to Tu Kai’s words, calmed his mind, and focused on comprehending the Sword Technique.

A silvery white Sword Mark flickered in his eyes, and the Heart Method of the Celestial Sword Technique began to circulate.

Time passed slowly.

A short while later, ’Perfected!’

The silvery white Sword Mark in Luo Tian’s eyes vanished, and a smile appeared on his face.

Next, he prepared to familiarize himself with the Sword Technique.

But at that very moment, the green-haired woman from the Sea Hunter Race suddenly spoke up, ”I’m finished!”

The faint blue figure appeared, and the green-haired woman demonstrated her Martial Skill.

”Pass!”

After a moment, the faint blue figure announced.

”Hmph, you dull-witted humans. I bet none of you will be able to pass the first trial and will be eliminated directly!”

”Once we obtain the heritage treasure, it will be the day you die!”

Before leaving the Martial Arts Arena, a cruel smile appeared on the green-haired woman’s cold and arrogant face.

The moment her voice fell, Luo Tian said to the faint blue figure, ”I’m finished too!”

Both Qi Yuntian and the white-robed woman looked at Luo Tian in astonishment.

’So fast?’

It seemed Luo Tian hadn’t even practiced the Sword Technique once.

The green-haired woman was also stunned, but then she sneered, ”You brat, I insult you a little, and you can’t help but jump out to prove yourself? If you dare to deceive this senior, you’ll definitely come to a bad end!”

”Senior, this person is definitely spouting nonsense. There’s no need to test him, just kick him out!”

Tu Kai said respectfully to the faint blue figure.

”Shut up! I don’t need you telling me what to do!”

The faint blue figure shouted coldly, and Tu Kai and the green-haired woman immediately shut their mouths.

Luo Tian began to practice the Swordsmanship.

He had only just perfected that Sword Technique and had never practiced it to become familiar with it.

But Luo Tian cultivated the Celestial Sword Technique and was extremely sensitive to pure sword techniques.

SWISH SWISH SWISH!

Luo Tian swung the Ice Trace Sword, executing the technique with perfect, fluid grace.
