Yu Kai took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and a look of determination flashed across his eyes. He knew panic was useless. Since he had accidentally stumbled into this mysterious place of inheritance, he could only bite the bullet and move forward.
He walked slowly and steadily towards the center of the square. At that moment, the previously tranquil space suddenly began to ripple. Then, a brilliant golden light, like a pillar, shone directly upon him. A majestic and solemn voice instantly echoed throughout the space: "Young man, welcome to the place where gods are made!"
"Senior, where are you? I accidentally broke into this place by chance. Could you please tell me what this place of god-making is all about?" Yu Kai raised his head and asked respectfully towards the void above.
"This is the greatest place of good fortune in my vast immortal realm. The ultimate goal of this inheritance is to create a god with supreme power and omnipotence!"
Yu Kai was shocked when he heard this. Even the Devouring Beast hiding below was shocked and secretly shuddered: "Creating a god? An omnipotent god! This is simply beyond imagination!"
"Senior, why do we want to create a god? Is there any successful precedent before?" Yu Kai asked seriously.
"Because..." In the empty space, the voice had just uttered two words when, in an instant, the originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, as black as ink. The rolling dark clouds roared and rolled like surging waves, as if brewing a devastating disaster. The loud rumbling sound was as if the sky and the earth were collapsing. Terrible thunders, wrapped in the momentum of destroying the world, fell madly from the void, each releasing a tremendous pressure that frightened all things. The entire inheritance space trembled violently under the impact of this terrifying force, as if it would shatter and collapse at any time. Yu Kai felt an irresistible force coming at him like a mountain, and he was instantly crushed to the ground. He gritted his teeth and fought hard. Seeing this, the Devouring Beast below couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, this is actually a world-destroying thunder tribulation! It is going to destroy this world! Just mentioning it has violated such a terrible taboo!"
At this critical moment, the twenty-eight stone statues surrounding the square suddenly lit up with dazzling light, like twenty-eight brilliant stars blazing simultaneously. This light coalesced into a mysterious and powerful force, abruptly halting the collapsing space. One of the stone statues even unleashed a strange suction force, continuously absorbing the terrifying power of the world-destroying thunder tribulation.
As the inheritance space gradually stabilized, the mysterious force seemed to be quietly establishing its presence. Then, the atmosphere of the entire space suddenly shifted, and a strong sense of oppression overwhelmed them. "The inheritance trial has begun. You must defeat them, or you will die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man slowly emerged from a stone statue. He was about the same age as Yu Kai, handsome and composed, with a calm demeanor that gave him a sense of composure. Yet, he exuded a powerful, suffocating aura. His gaze, like lightning, fixed Yu Kai squarely, and he said calmly, "Defeat me, and you will receive my inherited enlightenment."
"Who are you? Are you dead or alive now?" Yu Kai looked at him warily and couldn't help asking.
"I am Hengyu. Perhaps, we are already dead." Hengyu's expression was calm and unperturbed. "Don't waste any more time. Take action!"
Yu Kai keenly sensed that his opponent was also at the peak of Saint King power, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Without hesitation, he drew out the Moon Spirit Sacred Sword, its blade trembling slightly, as if it too could sense his opponent's strength.
"The strongest man at the peak of his youth?" Yu Kai muttered in a low voice, and then he held a long sword and rushed towards Hengyu like a tiger descending from the mountain.
The long sword danced, slicing streaks of cold light through the air, colliding repeatedly with Heng Yu's two fingers, sending up strings of dazzling sparks. No matter what exquisite moves Yu Kai unleashed, they were easily intercepted by Heng Yu's fingers, as if his attacks were child's play before him.
Heng Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile: "Is this the person who is expected to become a god? His strength is so poor, it's just rubbish!"
"Golden Wind Slash!" Yu Kai roared, his spiritual energy pouring into the Moon Spirit Sacred Sword like a river bursting its banks. Instantly, a brilliant golden light emanated from the blade. The immense, fierce sword intent surged like a golden torrent, accompanied by a whistling wind that was as sharp as a knife, threatening to cleave space as it hurtled down towards Heng Yu. This time, Heng Yu dodged the fierce blow with a flicker of his foot, sidestepping. Yu Kai's heart trembled, realizing that Heng Yu's movements were incredibly uncanny; defeating him would be no easy task.
"Interesting. Although I'm only at the peak of the Saint King realm, the laws I comprehend far surpass yours. The law of balance lies in the formulation and control of rules. Your swordsmanship is indeed formidable, but you still can't escape the balance I've established." Heng Yu danced his hands swiftly, forming a mysterious and complex hand seal. At the same time, he tapped the ground with his right foot. He seemed to merge with the laws of heaven and earth, and shouted loudly: "Balance all things, crush everything!"
"Then try this strike again, Mystical Spirit Split!" Yu Kai quickly analyzed Heng Yu's agility and changed his attack angle, pouring peak-level mystical spiritual energy into his sword. Suddenly, the sword's radiance surged, like a brilliant meteor, enveloping the blade in mysterious spiritual energy as it slashed straight towards Heng Yu.
Hengyu could tell at a glance that this mysterious spiritual power was different from the others. He danced his hands quickly, forming a mysterious and complex hand seal again, and shouted loudly: "Balance of all things, crush everything!" A powerful force containing the rules of heaven and earth, like a towering mountain, with ancient runes engraved on its surface, smashed down towards the sword light.
Yu Kai's sword gleam collided with Heng Yu's Rule Power with a resounding "Boom!" A resounding "boom!" It felt as if the entire space was shattered by the impact. The powerful impact, like an invisible force, sent Yu Kai flying. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his body sliding across the square, leaving a long trail of blood.
Yu Kai struggled to his feet, racking his brains for a countermeasure. He knew that if he didn't change his tactics, he would be defeated.
"Is that all you've got?" Heng Yu looked disappointed. "It seems you don't need to exist anymore!" He quickly formed seals again, muttering, "Protect the world, suppress everything!" An even more powerful force of rules, like a ray of destructive light, flickering with an eerie light, descended fiercely upon Yu Kai, attempting to completely obliterate him. Meanwhile, as the battle between the two intensified, the previously tranquil square began to warp and deform, cracks spreading like spiderwebs, as if poised to shatter at any moment. The entire space was filled with the spiritual energy fluctuations generated by the collision of powerful forces, like a turbulent undercurrent, weighing on Yu Kai's nerves.
