Chapter 249: The inheritance of the earth god
Chapter 249: The inheritance of the earth god (Additional chapter 39)
call!
Li Yuan just stepped into the square.
Before he approached the steps of the towering main hall, he felt an invisible wave appear out of thin air about thirty meters away from him.
"Hmm? Not good." Li Yuan's mental power was so strong that he immediately noticed the abnormality.
Just as he was about to retreat, it was already too late.
Buzz~ This invisible wave instantly invaded Li Yuan, as if it contained a destructive force, which made Li Yuan's heart tremble, and he had no power to resist.
In an instant, Li Yuan was suppressed by this force and was fixed in place.
Unable to move!
"This? What is going on?" Li Yuan was shocked. This was something that had never been mentioned in the intelligence of the Lieyan Family.
Could it be that the information is false?
However, this destructive restraining force was too strong. Even if Li Yuan instantly burst out all his strength... he still couldn't move at all.
This scene reminded Li Yuan of Mo Hu's death, but the last time the restraining force was even more terrifying, and even the space was directly restrained.
This time, only Li Yuan was imprisoned.
Just a few seconds later, Li Yuan didn't have time to think about it.
Wow~
Dozens of meters away, several purple rays appeared out of thin air.
As soon as the light condensed, it shot directly onto Li Yuan, and then a trace of strange power penetrated directly into Li Yuan's body.
Cold! This was Li Yuan's only feeling.
"Are they going to test my body? To find out my background?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised and had some guesses.
With his skill level, he could only sense the existence of this strange power... This strange power swept through Li Yuan's body in the blink of an eye, and even tried to penetrate into Li Yuan's spiritual sea of consciousness...
Just tried to infiltrate.
Buzz~ Li Yuan sensed that the Mind Palace instantly emanated invisible waves, as if concealing its own existence... This strange power instantly swept through the Mind Palace.
Then it completely dissipated.
The rays of light that were shining suddenly dissipated, and the destructive restraining force that had originally invaded Li Yuan also suddenly dissipated.
Inside the square, everything returned to normal.
Just as if.
Nothing happened to Li Yuan just now.
"What's going on?" Li Yuan hesitated in his heart: "What is going on? The ruins of God... No wonder the Flame Family said that they have only discovered a few secrets, and there are still many unknowns... Judging from the many clues before, the entire world within the world does contain great secrets."
"But, he shouldn't want to kill me." Li Yuan thought, having witnessed how Mo Hu died.
He understood that it would be easy for the power behind the world within the world to kill him.
Just a few seconds later.
"Buzz~" A wave of five elements emerged again and was instantly transmitted into Li Yuan's mind. This wave contained two pieces of information.
"Congratulations, your talent meets the requirements for 'Earth God Inheritance Candidates' and you are eligible to start the 'God Inheritance Assessment'. If you pass the three tests, you will be eligible to obtain the 'Earth God Inheritance'. You have one minute to decide whether to participate in the assessment. If you participate in the assessment, you will be in danger of death."
"If you participate, stand still and the assessment will start in one minute. If you withdraw, you will exit the 'God's Temple' directly."
These two messages were not text or images, but a kind of spiritual fluctuation that Li Yuan found difficult to understand.
Let Li Yuan clearly understand what it means.
"The inheritance of the God of Earth? The inheritance assessment?" Li Yuan was shocked, and many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant: "Didn't the intelligence say that this world within a world was left behind by the God of Fire?"
These messages have never been mentioned in any messages from the Flame Family.
but!
Li Yuan had already anticipated the fact that there were treasures within the world. Many thoughts were running at high speed in his mind as he analyzed the information.
"According to the information provided by the Flame Family, that is, the information given by the 'Flame City Demigod', this world within a world is most likely a relic left by a 'Fire God', but it also has many other benefits... Just now, it should be the person behind the scenes who tested my talent."
"But why is there another earth-based god inheritance?"
"Could it be that there are multiple gods in this world within a world?"
"I originally thought that since I am not a strong man of the Fire Clan, I should not be able to access the treasures or inheritance of the gods. I didn't expect that I still have a chance to obtain the inheritance of the gods." Li Yuan made a vague judgment in his mind: "Should I go in?"
There are pros and cons to taking risks.
There is a possibility of great gains, but it also comes with the risk of death... The key is that the "Earth God Heritage" has never been mentioned in the intelligence of the Flame Family.
This means that without any experience to draw on, Li Yuan cannot judge the degree of danger.
"Go ahead." Li Yuan made the decision in just seconds.
Come here.
"The inheritance of gods is so rare. The entire Seven Star Civilization has not yet produced a god." There was a trace of desire in Li Yuan's eyes: "Although obtaining the inheritance of gods may not necessarily lead to becoming a god, it will at least increase the hope a lot."
Even if he went to Feixing in the future and accepted the so-called 'inheritance of the God of War', that would only be an inheritance formed by the demigods of the Seven Star Civilization, and might not be as good as the real 'inheritance of the gods'.
Such an opportunity is rare.
Of course you have to fight!
Don't take risks easily, the trials of life and death can easily wear you down... but when you really encounter a great opportunity, you have to fight for it.
Besides, Li Yuan asked himself, even if the gods were choosing a successor, with his talent, he should have a chance of getting it.
time flies.
One minute later.
Buzz~ Another invisible wave was transmitted to Li Yuan's mind. The content of the message was very simple - "The test is about to begin. If you pass the first two tests, you can live. If you fail the first two tests, you will die!"
Li Yuan immediately understood that he had to pass at least the first two of the next three tests.
Just two seconds later.
call!call!
Suddenly, a strong wind blew in the square with a diameter of more than 200 meters, and countless yellow sands swept in. Then Li Yuan watched with his own eyes as countless yellow sands began to condense... and finally formed a khaki figure holding a spear. He was wearing khaki armor, which was quite dazzling, like a warrior.
Only his eyes were blood red as he stared at Li Yuan.
"【The target's life level is 25, it has no life characteristics, and you cannot obtain spiritual nourishment by killing it】" Li Yuan directly used the Divine Palace to explore.
The results of the investigation instantly reminded Li Yuan of the large number of black monsters he encountered at the bottom of the canyon.
In the same vein!
"What kind of method is this?" Li Yuan was secretly shocked. The methods of the world within the world were beyond his imagination.
What is the assessment? Kill the opponent?
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! More strong winds blew up, driving up more yellow sand on the ground. Then more khaki figures appeared, densely packed, all around Li Yuan.
"Gathering sand to form a human?" Li Yuan was more and more shocked, and he immediately used the Divine Palace to investigate.
All are level 25.
"Thirty-six?" Li Yuan glanced around and confirmed the figures of all the khaki warriors.
"Kill!" The khaki-colored warrior who appeared first let out a low roar.
What he shouted was not the 'Seven Star Language', but Li Yuan could sense what he wanted to convey.
"kill!"
"Kill!" Thirty-six khaki warriors shouted in unison, and then burst out at the same time, killing Li Yuan who was standing in the center from all directions.
boom!
A Black Star Spear instantly appeared in Li Yuan's palm, and soon after, the Source Power battle suit completely covered his entire body. A trace of khaki light emerged from the battle suit, and the whole person looked like a god of war.
At this moment, how could Li Yuan not understand? This test was probably to defeat all 36 gatekeepers in front of him, or even kill them.
Thirty-six level 25 warriors?
"I want to see how difficult this test of inheritance of the earth god is." Li Yuan's figure jumped up, and the whole person passed through several gatekeepers like a gust of wind.
Break out of the encirclement.
"Wow!" The moment he escaped from the encirclement, the spear in Li Yuan's hand whistled and stabbed straight forward. The terrifying force instantly burst out and hit the head of one of the gatekeepers.
Peng~
It was like hitting a huge sandbag. The gatekeeper's head was blown apart by Li Yuan's shot.
But he didn't fall.
Crash~ Countless splashing sands quickly flowed back and condensed into the gatekeeper's head!
"what!"
"Boom!" The other gatekeepers rushed over, the spears in their hands whistling, extremely ferocious.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!" Li Yuan waved his spear and blocked the attacks continuously. With his strength, it was easy for him to block them.
But Li Yuan felt a little anxious.
"Why can't I kill them? Those black beasts in the canyon before, although they had no life characteristics, were almost the same as real life. They would die if hit in the vital parts. Why is the gatekeeper here not the same?" Li Yuan tried to calm himself.
Wow!
The spear light was dazzling, and Li Yuan easily pierced through the bodies of the gatekeepers, causing their heads to explode, their chests to be torn, or their arms to be broken... But no matter what they did, even if their bodies were completely exploded, they would recover quickly.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"Kill!" The number of these gatekeepers is astonishing, as many as 36 people. Even if a few of them are killed by Li Yuan and temporarily lose their combat effectiveness, other gatekeepers will quickly fill their positions.
Even though the space is small, there are at least ten gatekeepers who can attack Li Yuan at the same time.
"Avoid?" Li Yuan gritted his teeth.
The entire square is this big, with a diameter of only two hundred meters. With the explosive speed of a level 25 source warrior, he can rush from one end to the other in a flash.
"Let's fight." Li Yuan's eyes were cold. He had no way out.
According to the message just delivered, if the test fails, there is no doubt that you will die.
"puff!"
"Puchi!" The Black Star Spear burst out with terrifying power in Li Yuan's hand. The spear light was like starlight, flowing dazzlingly and gathering like a river, easily blocking the attacks of the gatekeepers one by one.
The true meaning of the move - the galaxy swirls!
In terms of skills and strength, Li Yuan is far superior to these gatekeepers.
Especially with the perfect operation of the star veins in his body, which was in harmony with the mysterious Middle-earth vein, Li Yuan's spearmanship became even more powerful.
"Bang~" The spear light collided with the weapon of one of the gatekeepers. The terrifying force was transmitted, instantly causing cracks to appear on both of the gatekeeper's arms.
The gap in strength between them is astonishing.
The skills displayed by these gatekeepers were only at the fourth intermediate level...but their numbers were staggering, and each of them was immortal, forcing Li Yuan to defend himself.
time flies.
One by one, the gatekeepers fell down and stood up again. Li Yuan tried his best, and the source power in his body was also consumed crazily... The sea of source power was just opened, and the direct increase in strength of the source warriors' source power was not that great.
But the source power can continuously eliminate fatigue in the body's muscles and bones, and can combine with flesh and blood to increase the body's defense... If a source warrior's source power is exhausted, his combat power will be reduced by at least half.
"What should I do?"
"I've killed them again and again, but their strength hasn't decreased." Li Yuan tried many methods and became more and more anxious.
Li Yuan originally thought that with each attack, the strength of these gatekeepers would continue to decline until they were completely killed.
But no.
Weaknesses? They are all made of sand, without any weaknesses.
"kill!"
Thirty-six gatekeepers surrounded Li Yuan like puppets...they only had the instinct to fight and kill.
And what about Li Yuan? He can only hold on! Hold on!
"There must be a chance."
"There must be! The inheritance test cannot be set up as a test that is impossible to pass."
"Maybe it's a time-limited test. As long as I persist for a while, I should be able to pass it." Another possibility flashed through Li Yuan's mind, giving him greater motivation to persevere.
but! !
One minute, two minutes… ten minutes… thirty minutes… it was an extremely long battle.
It lasted so long that Li Yuan's heart trembled.
He could easily block the attacks of these gatekeepers, but he couldn't ignore them completely... His physical strength and energy were constantly being consumed, and fighting again and again was also a torture to Li Yuan's spirit.
Forty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
"Kill!" The thirty-six gatekeepers were still roaring and constantly besieging Li Yuan.
"Hasn't the requirement been met yet?" Li Yuan was almost going crazy.
This was definitely the longest battle he had ever experienced in his life, even longer than the one in Flying Snake Valley... In the battle in Flying Snake Valley, he at least saw hope.
"persist in."
"Hold on to the end." Most of Li Yuan's internal energy had already been consumed, but he was still holding on.
Fortunately, the four star veins were functioning, especially the perfect star vein... which made Li Yuan's body's source power recover at an astonishing speed.
According to the display on the Divine Palace panel, the cultivation efficiency is 13, which is unattainable by many six-star vein masters of the same level.
In a blink of an eye.
Another ten minutes passed... Li Yuan's internal energy was finally exhausted.
Even if the star veins can be restored, it is still far from enough to consume in battle... He can only rely purely on the burst of physical strength.
"puff!"
"Puchi~" Li Yuan's spear skills were extremely sharp and he still hit the gatekeepers one by one.
This is a protracted war.
Another forty minutes passed... Li Yuan fought with all his might, his body was exhausted to the extreme, and his shooting speed was much slower than at the beginning. He had only relied on his superb skills to hold on until now.
suddenly.
"Wow~" A gatekeeper swung his spear whistling and stabbed straight at Li Yuan's head!
If it were before, Li Yuan could easily avoid it.
But now? Li Yuan was too exhausted and could only watch the spear piercing towards him.
Without the power armor to bless him, this shot was enough to seriously injure or even kill Li Yuan.
"Is it over?"
"The inheritance of the earth god is so difficult that I will die in the first test of the inheritance." Li Yuan was full of unwillingness, but he had no way out.
When manpower is exhausted.
However, just as the guardian roared, the tip of the gun touched Li Yuan.
wow~
A light breeze blew by, and in an instant, the bodies of the thirty-six gatekeepers turned into yellow sand and dissipated.
The whole square suddenly became quiet.
"Me? Passed?" Li Yuan was stunned.
hum~
An invisible wave instantly transmitted to Li Yuan's mind: "Congratulations, you have passed the first test of the earth god inheritance, and the evaluation is 'perfect level'. Please enter the main hall to accept the second test."
"Perfect level?" Li Yuan already understood vaguely that he might have already reached the test standard.
However, this so-called test is to push yourself to your limits.
In fact, under the pressure of life and death, this nearly two-hour crazy fight did greatly hone Li Yuan's spear skills. Unknowingly, he had improved his spear skills to 45% of the fifth level.
"call!"
The breath in Li Yuan's heart suddenly relaxed, and he fell to the ground with a bang, closing his eyes.
He is too tired.
The reason he had held on for so long was entirely due to his obsession with survival. Now that he had passed the test, he was able to completely relax.
"call!"
"Huh!" Li Yuan closed his eyes, and his spiritual consciousness instantly descended into the 'Spiritual Palace'.
Lying on the ground, he began to practice the "Sutra on Observing the Sun and Starry Sky" on the spot.
……
After two hours of practice, Li Yuan lay in the square.
He slowly opened his eyes, and his vision had regained clarity.
I stood up, and all my fatigue disappeared.
"Visualization is really magical." Li Yuan thought to himself, and looked at the main hall in the distance: "The second test is in the main hall? Although my body is no longer tired, my source of energy was completely consumed before, and now I have only recovered one third of it."
Sit cross-legged.
Huh! Li Yuan activated the four star veins and began to frantically absorb the external source of power... After the first test, Li Yuan did not dare to be careless.
You must be in your best condition to accept the second test.
……
Three hours later, Li Yuan, who had fully recovered, carefully stepped onto the steps leading to the main hall.
Fifty-five steps.
From the outside, the interior of the main hall could not be seen, but when Li Yuan stepped inside.
Buzz~My eyes flashed and I could see the scene inside the hall clearly in an instant.
This is an ancient palace, which is not as majestic as it looks from the outside. At the end of the palace stands a golden pillar, about ten meters high and at least three meters in diameter... The surface of the pillar seems to be engraved with countless mysterious patterns, emitting an invisible spiritual fluctuation.
"Pillar of spirit?" Li Yuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he instantly thought of Kunlun Wuda, the bronze pillar located at the bottom of the Suzaku Building.
How similar the two look.
The Pillar of Spirit is the treasure of Kunlun Wuda University...but Li Yuan has the method of visualization, so it seems unimportant.
"Could it be that this second test is a test of willpower and mental strength?" This thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind.
next moment.
Boom! The golden pillar at the end of the palace suddenly burst into brilliant light, which enveloped the entire palace and also directly enveloped Li Yuan.
A powerful mental oppression enveloped me.
"It really is a test of mental strength and willpower?" Li Yuan thought to himself.
This light contained an invisible impact and was extremely powerful. If it were an ordinary source warrior, he would probably be dizzy instantly... But with Li Yuan's mental will, he could naturally withstand it easily.
hum~
Silently, as if sensing that Li Yuan could easily bear it, the light released by the golden divine pillar became brighter and brighter, and the spiritual oppression it contained became more terrifying.
"Hold on!" Li Yuan knew he had no choice.
retreat?
If I leave the hall, I will probably fail the test and die... But how much mental oppression do I have to endure to pass the test? There is no reminder.
Therefore, Li Yuan still has only one way out - to hold on!!
The longer you can carry it, the better.
hum~
In just one minute, the light released by the golden pillar had almost become material. The terrifying mental oppression made Li Yuan's face change, and he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
It's so scary.
“I’m afraid that if an ordinary Source Warrior were to come here, he would suffer a mental breakdown in a very short period of time.” Li Yuan had a blank expression.
With a mental strength of level 32.8 and a willpower of level 33... In terms of mental strength and willpower alone, Li Yuan is considered excellent among the Feitian class.
time flies!
oppression!
The oppression became more and more terrifying. At this moment, the mental oppression had reached the peak of the flying level, and it was still constantly strengthening and improving, making Li Yuan feel an astonishing oppression.
Under such terrifying pressure, ordinary Source Warriors would probably become dizzy and lose consciousness instantly.
If it was an ordinary first-level warrior, he would have a mental breakdown, become crazy, or even die.
"Hold on!" Li Yuan gritted his teeth and continued to fight with all his might. He only felt that his thinking speed was slowing down.
As time passed, Li Yuan's face turned pale.
Buzz~ I don’t know what kind of treasure that golden divine pillar is. The mental oppression is still continuing to increase. It has quickly surpassed the peak of flying and is climbing towards the demigod level.
Finally, when a certain limit is reached.
"boom!"
Li Yuan felt his heart tremble, his eyes went dark, and he fainted.
Completely unconscious.
...I don't know how much time had passed before Li Yuan woke up and felt as if his brain was about to explode.
pain!
This kind of mental oppression that is pushed to the limit is essentially a torture to the mental will.
At the end of the temple, the golden pillar that had previously shone brightly has returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
"I'm not dead yet, so I must have passed the test." Li Yuan was still conscious.
suddenly.
Buzz~ Two invisible waves came over: "Congratulations, you have passed the second test of the earth god inheritance, and the evaluation is 'perfect level'. You will go to the final test place and accept the third test."
"If you fail, you will be given a gift and can leave the inheritance land."
"Of course, if you pass the three tests and ultimately do not wish to accept the inheritance, you will still be given a gift and can leave."
Li Yuan was stunned.
He could understand that his second test was at the perfect level. After all, only first-order life could enter the world within the world. Even if he broke through to the second level in a short period of time, how strong could his spiritual consciousness be?
but.
"After passing three tests, you still don't want to accept the inheritance? Can you leave on your own?" Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan's mind.
“Could it be that this inheritance of the earth god contains dangers that I am not aware of in some aspects?”
……
In the deepest part of the world within the world, there is a mysterious place.
There is a vast and spacious palace.
On the cushion, a girl in a fiery red robe was sitting cross-legged on the cushion, practicing silently.
There were faint wisps of flames blooming around her.
suddenly.
"Lan Yue, the inheritor of the earth god, has appeared. He is extremely outstanding." A gentle voice sounded: "He...even if he has not received the inheritance, I am afraid he has the potential to become a god, far more than you."
