Chapter 780: Is This the Legacy?
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Kill?” Man Ge messaged Lan Scarlet.
“No,” Lan Scarlet replied.
“Just cooperate with me.” Man Ge insisted confidently. “Let’s quickly deal with this six-winged dimension lord of the Barbarian Ancestral Realm.”
“There are two on the other side,” Lan Scarlet informed.
“You can’t kill a two-winged Undying?” Man Ge questioned.
Lan Scarlet, knowing Man Ge’s prowess, clarified, “He’s not an ordinary two-winged Undying.”
Man Ge instantly adjusted his attitude, reassessing the opponent’s strength.
Meanwhile, Wang Ye and Xiong Le were also communicating.
From Xiong Le, Wang Ye learned about the formidable commander Man Ge.
If they didn’t cooperate, Man Ge might act directly.
Now, everyone was cautious.
“What do you think about splitting the treasures?” Wang Ye proposed, breaking the deadlock.
“We’ll take two, you take one,” Man Ge asserted dominantly.
“Why?” Xiong Le stood his ground.
Man Ge sneered. “First come, first served, or… we can let strength determine the outcome.”
The three forks represented three paths to the treasure, or perhaps three treasures.
Having come this far, no one was willing to yield.
“Shall we enter together?” Lan Scarlet suggested to Wang Ye via message. “Split it 50-50.”
“Give me a reason,” Wang Ye demanded.
With Lan Scarlet’s capabilities, there was no need for her to concede.
“You and I are slightly weaker,” Lan Scarlet explained further.
“I don’t think I’m inferior to you,” Wang Ye said more firmly, suspecting Lan Scarlet’s motives.
The stalemate continued among the four experts in their respective chat rooms, each strategizing for their interests.
For Man Ge, securing two shares seemed natural, considering his agreement with Lan Scarlet, where she would receive the demon shilling, except for the treasure of life, while everything else would be his.
“If we keep arguing, it’ll be even harder to split it evenly when the fifth demon shilling holder arrives,” Wang Ye warned.
“I’ll withdraw,” Lan Scarlet suddenly declared.
Wang Ye and Man Ge looked at her in surprise, especially Man Ge, who initially appeared displeased but then seemed to ponder something.
“Since we’re at a disadvantage, I’ll choose first. Is that okay?” Man Ge proposed.
Xiong Le looked at Wang Ye.
“Sure.” Wang Ye agreed, glancing at Lan Scarlet.
His darling Scarlet was impressive.
Lan Scarlet’s strategy was impressive, having not only reached an agreement with him but also with Man Ge and Xiong Le.
She was playing three sides at once.
“Let’s rely on luck,” Man Ge said, heading straight into the middle fork as the demon shilling enveloped him, disappearing quickly.
“I choose first?” Xiong Le looked at Wang Ye.
“Alright,” Wang Ye shrugged.
Xiong Le made his decision and entered the first fork.
Left alone, Wang Ye and Lan Scarlet locked eyes.
“You seem to be under Man Ge’s control.” Wang Ye observed.
“Man Ge gave me the demon shilling, so I promised to give him everything I obtained from the seal’s core, except for the treasure of life,” Lan Scarlet confessed.
Wang Ye understood. “So, by quitting now, you’ve reached an agreement with each of us.”
Lan Scarlet asked for 20% of the treasure from Wang Ye.
It seemed he had also obtained a treasure of life from Xiong Le.
Lan Scarlet nodded lightly. “I won’t leave it to chance. After you all enter, I’ll look around to see if there’s anything else.”
Wang Ye smiled. “There are six paths in the seal’s core. Currently, four are still unexplored. I don’t think you’ve ventured down the path of the demon shilling.”
“Yes, I anticipate there will be many gains,” Lan Scarlet admitted openly.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll steal from you?” Wang Ye laughed.
“Your ambition exceeds mine, and your strength surpasses mine. You will undoubtedly vie for the relic of Demon Venerable Meng Qi,” Lan Scarlet affirmed.
“Not necessarily.” Wang Ye shook his head, eyeing the deep fork in the road. “The demon race’s secret realm and the seal’s core hold too many mysteries. The risks are considerable.”
“If you give up, I can also exchange the demon shilling with you,” Lan Scarlet offered calmly.
“No need to provoke me.” Wang Ye chuckled. “I’ll go.”
“See you at the encampment.” Lan Scarlet nodded.
…
Wang Ye proceeded to the third fork.
He refrained from contesting it, as the three paths seemed indistinguishable from the outside. It boiled down to pure luck.
High risk, high reward.
If his strength was inferior to Man Ge and Xiong Le, he would opt to exchange with Lan Scarlet.
Taking a small risk for a small reward, safety came first.
Yet, if he had sufficient strength to guarantee it, he still desired to take a gamble.
“Let’s see if there’s a chance to seize an opportunity!” Wang Ye thought.
“The pressure of willpower is growing stronger.” Wang Ye felt as he delved deeper.
Was he nearing the treasure of willpower?
Or something else?
Stop!
Wang Ye halted.
His flickering gaze fixated on the endless path leading directly to the seal’s core.
He accessed his interface.
[The path of the human heart: stage one to stage two.]
This was the path of willpower origin that Little White had cultivated.
For demons cultivating transfiguration, it was nearly indispensable for their will, akin to humans cultivating the origin of their will.
After merging with the demon core, he could easily comprehend Little White’s path of origin.
Furthermore, he was human!
[The path of the human heart: stage two to stage three.]
…
[The path of the human heart: stage seven to stage eight.]
[The path of the human heart: stage eight to stage nine!]
To the top!
He expended 300,000 evolution points.
To Wang Ye, it was merely a drop in the bucket.
The final breakthrough was the most crucial.
Like the great path of origin of willpower, it required 2,000,000 evolution points.
“Compared to the great path of willpower origin, the path of the human heart provides a greater boost to the willpower itself.” This was Wang Ye’s realization upon reaching the ninth stage.
Returning to the essence of the human heart.
Similar to what Huaxia referred to as the pure heart of a child.
Pure and steadfast.
“It’s better to prevent trouble before it arises,” Wang Ye prepared thoroughly.
He intentionally lagged behind Man Ge and Xiong Le to let the two pawns explore the path first and see if there were any changes.
But there was nothing.
All was calm.
They had no clue what had occurred there.
Moreover, the demon shilling showed no signs.
So, he had to be fully prepared.
Huh?
Wang Ye halted his steps.
At the end of the road lay a vast ocean.
A vast ocean of energy, formed by the endless innate energy mixed with original energy, lay close at hand.
Apart from that, there were no other paths.
So?
Whoosh! Wang Ye entered.
Crash…
A massive surge of innate energy flooded into his body!
Raging strength!
If he hadn’t been a basic standard saint body, he estimated that this wave would have been instantly overwhelmed by the surging demonic energy and demonic power mixed with innate energy.
The energy surged like a tsunami, wild and powerful!
Whoosh! Wang Ye swiftly spread his wings and activated his sky wheel to greedily absorb the energy.
The demon core instantly expanded!
Facing the pure innate energy of the demon race, he quickly absorbed it and made it his own.
Wang Ye silently endured and absorbed it.
The absorption efficiency was extremely low.
After all, his indestructible body had already surpassed 60% saturation.
The limit of the seventh degree was 70%.
But there was just too much!
Boundless innate energy was squandered!
It rushed into his body as if seeking a home.
Wang Ye’s mind remained firm as he allowed the onslaught to continue!
With the protection of the basic standard saint body, he could handle it.
10%, 20%, 30%…
Wang Ye sighed.
The indestructible body, which had originally required a significant amount of time to absorb and cultivate, had surpassed 30% in a short period!
The seventh-degree Undying was 33%!
However, he absorbed even more from Little White’s demon core!
The two energies seemed like the same type, and the absorption efficiency was incredibly astounding!
The absorption of energy from the demon core directly spurred Little White’s cultivation.
It felt as if Little White had gained part of Demon Venerable Meng Qi’s abilities all at once.
The harvest was plentiful!
Of course, the results naturally fed back to him.
Was this an inheritance?
The more, the merrier!
Wang Ye traversed through the empty ocean of energy.
The first wave had already yielded plenty!
They gradually approached the depths of the core.
A massive figure of a demon, filled with demonic energy and power, loomed ahead.
It appeared like a specter, yet exuded immense pressure.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed a drop of green blood within the specter’s body, brimming with a high-dimensional life source.
“After refining my blood essence, you shall become my successor.”
“Acquire my treasure.”
The voice reverberated.
After transmitting the message, the virtual image of the demon figure dimmed and vanished in an instant.
All that remained was the drop of green blood.
Wang Ye pondered for a moment.
After some consideration, he merged Demon Venerable Meng Qi’s drop of green blood into the demon core of the sky wheel wings.
This wave was a more cautious approach.
“Little White, refine it,” Wang Ye instructed.
With his current abilities, refining and merging posed no issue.
But there was no urgent need for it.
Furthermore, Little White’s absorption efficiency far surpassed his own.
Another surge!
Whoosh! Little White directly absorbed the green blood!
In an instant, the color of the wings changed, and the energy surged!
It was akin to the direct inheritance among demons, the most straightforward method of improvement!
Wang Ye could distinctly feel Little White’s state.
Experiencing both pain and joy!
Originally strong demons from the same root.
Not only did he absorb energy from the demon core, but he also acquired the blood essence of the Demon Venerable realm!
This inheritance effect was finely controlled!
Soon, the refining was completed!
Wang Ye sensed that Little White’s aura had significantly strengthened, akin to a small enhancement in his combat prowess.
Very satisfactory.
The second wave of inheritance was secured.
Wang Ye left the cave and continued forward.
Before long, they reached the endpoint!
Wang Ye was stirred.
A towering Demon Venerable’s physique!
At that moment, it was ensconced within a cubic seal.
It mirrored the seal outside the demon’s secret realm!
“Demon Venerable Meng Qi.” Wang Ye gazed directly at it.
No traces of life energy, no vitality to speak of.
Though his eyes were shut, a naturally formidable pressure emanated from him.
“Hmm?” Wang Ye scanned his surroundings.
There were two additional passages.
But neither Man Ge nor Xiong Le was in sight.
Were they lagging behind him?
Or…
Were they still undergoing the Demon Venerable’s inheritance?
Was his swiftness due to having the Little White demon core?
“Hmm…” Wang Ye contemplated deeply.
Then, he proceeded forward.
There were 216 key imprints on the cubic seal.
On each face, there was a slot for the demon shilling.
But all were vacant.
Was he the first?
Wang Ye retrieved the demon shilling and inserted it into place.
Consciousness connected, the demon shilling promptly radiated with light!
Whoosh! Demon Venerable Meng Qi’s sealed physique suddenly opened its eyes.
An abrupt change!
A potent aura of willpower surged directly at Wang Ye, who was connected to the demon shilling!
It was as swift as lightning!
Boom!
Demon Venerable Meng Qi, possession!
