As Xiao Qianshan spoke, he added, “The five major powers will go in first. If there is any danger, we can block it at the front.”
“So all the opportunities will just be snatched up by you,” a rogue cultivator complained.
Everyone wanted to be the first to enter.
As for danger, anyone who feared danger would not have come to the Human Sovereign Palace in the first place.
Rogue cultivators could not compare to major sects. They lived lives on the edge of a blade, surviving through intrigue and deceit.
“Stop complaining,” Xiao Qianshan snorted. “There are problems with the Demon Suppression Tower inside the Human Sovereign Palace. Who knows how many demonic creatures are still there? We’re doing this for everyone’s benefit, to reduce losses.”
As his words fell, the disciples of the five major powers began moving toward the Human Sovereign Palace.
Xu Zimo followed Carefree Monk and the others.
The only thing that made him wary was that the Luo Clan, which had plotted against the Human Sovereign Palace for many years, had not sent anyone.
Moreover, Mortal Sovereign had not appeared since being severely injured.
Xu Zimo did not believe they would simply let this go.
After plotting for so many years, how could they let the prize slip away now that it was within reach?
He knew they were hiding in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to scheme.
This inheritance of the Human Sovereign Palace was far more dangerous than it appeared on the surface.
However, Xu Zimo’s goal was only the Otherworldly Demon Stone. As for the other inheritances, he would let others fight over them.
……
“Carefree Monk, who is this person? He doesn’t look like a disciple of our five sects,” a voice suddenly sounded nearby.
Xu Zimo knew they were talking about him.
Turning his head, he saw a young man in black robes with a sinister appearance staring at him.
Carefree Monk replied, “Black Crow Saint Son, this is my friend. Does it concern you?”
His tone was stiff, clearly showing that his relationship with the Black Crow Saint Son was not good.
“The five major powers are entering together. We shouldn’t be bringing outsiders with unclear identities, should we?” the Black Crow Saint Son replied.
He fixed his gaze on Xu Zimo.
“If you know what’s good for you, step back and enter later.”
“And who is this thing?” Xu Zimo asked calmly.
“The Saint Son of the Ghost Moon Ancient Sect,” Carefree Monk replied.
Xu Zimo turned to the Black Crow Saint Son and said just as bluntly, “If you don’t want to die, don’t block my path.”
“What the hell kind of attitude is that?!” the Black Crow Saint Son flared up in anger. “You’re just a mere rogue cultivator, and you speak to me like this?”
In the Great Beyond, the five major powers were the rulers.
He did not even need to ask about Xu Zimo’s background. He could kill him outright.
Anyone not from the five major powers was not worth fearing.
The Black Crow Saint Son let out an angry shout.
His right hand transformed like a beast’s claw, sharp and fierce, as it grabbed toward Xu Zimo.
“Fuck off,” Xu Zimo said softly.
His voice thundered like a storm.
The Black Crow Saint Son felt an irresistible force crash into him, sending him slamming into the nearby wall.
The walls of the Human Sovereign Palace were exceptionally sturdy.
The impact left him with a smashed head, blood and flesh mangled.
Xu Zimo ignored him and walked straight into the Human Sovereign Palace.
……
Upon entering the Hall of Transmission once again, many people were already standing inside.
Most of them were from the five major powers, and the voice of the Sage echoed in the air.
Xu Zimo did not rush forward.
He watched as fifty people stepped up and sat at the desks in the center of the hall.
The trial was conducted in groups of fifty.
Once all fifty were seated, the desks before them began to change.
Eventually, a book appeared on each desk.
“The Treatise of Heaven, Earth, and the Myriad People.”
“Those who comprehend the vast righteous force of heaven and earth within ten minutes may enter the second trial.”
As soon as these words were spoken, an uproar broke out.
“This is far too harsh.”
“Vast righteous force isn’t something you can just comprehend casually. The Human Sovereign is clearly making things difficult for us.”
Others argued back, “If vast righteous force were easy to comprehend, do you think the Human Sovereign’s inheritance would be easy to obtain?”
“The Human Sovereign is choosing a single true successor. Naturally, only the best of the best will qualify. Those who don’t meet the requirements must be eliminated.”
“That’s right. In other words, the trials are strict, but the rewards are equally great.”
As ten people began to show signs of comprehending vast righteous force, the hall gradually fell silent.
Everyone stared intently at the group of fifty.
“I’ve found you, brat.”
At that moment, the Black Crow Saint Son walked over, his face filled with rage.
He had nearly been beaten to death earlier.
Naturally, he was not going to let Xu Zimo off.
“Black Crow Saint Son, if you’re looking for trouble, I’ll spar with you,” Carefree Monk said.
“We’ll have plenty of time for that. This is between me and this brat,” the Black Crow Saint Son snorted.
He turned to Xu Zimo and shouted, “Kid, how do you want to die?”
“Why don’t you suggest a way,” Xu Zimo smiled.
“Fine. I’ll sever your limbs and let you die slowly in agony,” the Black Crow Saint Son said coldly. “And I’ll use you to warn the others of the consequences of offending me.”
As he spoke, he subtly signaled to an elderly man beside him.
The Black Crow Saint Son was not foolish.
From their earlier clash, he already knew Xu Zimo was not simple, so he called over a sect elder.
“Elder Celestial Brilliance, I’ll leave it to you.”
The old man nodded darkly.
“Don’t worry, Saint Son. I’ll make him cry and beg for mercy.”
As he spoke, black energy coiled around the elder’s right hand.
Within the black mist, skulls seemed to be howling.
“Boy, surrender now,” the elder said as he waved his hand, sending waves of sinister wind that annihilated everything in their path.
“Get lost,” Xu Zimo said lightly.
His right palm transformed into a blade, and he slashed forward.
With a deafening boom, a heaven-piercing blade force erupted and cleaved toward the elder.
At first, the elder paid it no mind and reached out to grab the blade force.
But the instant the two made contact, his expression changed drastically.
With another thunderous explosion, half of the elder’s body was sliced cleanly apart.
Blood sprayed everywhere.
Everyone was stunned.
Yet the elder did not die. Instead, he grew even more furious.
“Die,” he roared as his remaining right hand lunged forward.
The skull expanded dozens of times in size, opening its gaping maw to devour everything.
Xu Zimo glanced at him, and the Infinite-Samsara Demon-Eye flashed.
In an instant, both the skull and the elder were obliterated together, sent directly into reincarnation.
“Elder Celestial Brilliance!” the Black Crow Saint Son cried out in shock.
Xu Zimo began walking toward him step by step.
The Black Crow Saint Son’s face turned deathly pale.
“What are you doing? Don’t come any closer.”
At first, he only had grievances with Carefree Monk.
Seeing that Xu Zimo was close to him, he wanted to establish his authority.
He never expected to end up smashing a stone onto his own foot.
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll cut off your limbs and let you die slowly in pain. See, you already picked your own way to die. I’m quite respectful after all,” Xu Zimo said with a smile.
The Black Crow Saint Son tried to flee.
But Xu Zimo’s Infinite-Samsara Demon-Eye distorted the surrounding space.
