Looking at Liu Xingchang who was laughing out loud, Qi Chen was shocked beyond words.
He noticed that the corpses of the people he had killed in the strange land had all disappeared, leaving only their clothes behind.
Everyone will feel fear when they enter this strange place. Why doesn’t Liu Xingchang seem affected at all?
Just as Qi Chen was deep in thought, Liu Xingchang unsheathed his sword and slashed.
The sword light swept across the men, its speed so fast that no one could react in time.
Other than Yang Wen, who had the highest cultivation among the Yang family members, everyone else had been killed by this sword strike.
Although Yang Wen did not die, he was severely injured.
“I didn’t expect you to hold up so well.”
Liu Xingchang’s gaze was cold as he prepared to strike again.
“I have another question for you before I die.”
Yang Wen’s eyes were dripping with blood as he asked weakly.
“Go ahead.”
“Did you kill my son?”
“No.” Liu Xingchang said calmly, “Your son was indeed killed by the egg demon and Liu Fuxue.”
“Hahahahahaha!”
Yang Wen threw his head back and laughed. “Liu Fuxue! Liu Xingchang! If there’s a next life, I’ll definitely annihilate your entire Liu family!”
“Say that again when you have the chance.”
Liu Xingchang struck again, and a head flew into the air. Blood gushed out from the severed neck.
After doing all of this, Liu Xingchang took out an ancient token from his pocket with a fanatical look in his eyes.
“The blood sacrifice has been gathered. Let me see the legendary Black Dragon King’s inheritance ground!”
As he spoke, he pressed the token against that tall tree.
In that instant, the earth shook and mountains shook!
The entire Dark Forest began to tremble.
Countless birds were startled.
Cracks spread in all directions from the strange land.
Seven-colored light shot into the sky from the rifts.
The originally cloudless sky was now filled with white clouds which were forming a huge vortex.
In the sky even further away, stars appeared in the daytime and they shone brightly.
Amidst the violent tremors, Qi Chen, who was hiding in the tree, lost his balance and fell down.
Fortunately, Liu Xingchang, who was not far away, did not have the energy to notice him.
Qi Chen took the opportunity to retreat.
Escaping along with him, were the many demon beasts that were usually hidden deep in the soil.
Perhaps due to the strange environment, the scanning function of the system was unable to scan a distance of eight hundred meters underground.
It wasn’t until the demon beasts reached three to four hundred meters below Qi Chen’s feet that the system’s prompt finally arrived.
[Prompt: Three hundred meters below, one level-nine demon beast has appeared!]
[Prompt: A level-nine demon beast is approaching quickly. Please take note to hide!]
Underground?!
Qi Chen was shocked and quickly jumped up.
A ten meter long centipede broke out from the ground under Qi Chen!
The colorful carapace on the centipede, as well as the huge venomous jaw that was stained with a blackish-purple liquid, all showed how venomous this thing was.
The centipede didn’t come for Qi Chen. After breaking out of the ground, it scuttered straight into the distance, desperately trying to leave this strange place.
I’m glad it’s not coming for me.
Qi Chen secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Come to think of it, he was just an egg that was not even as big as a human head, so how could he become the prey of the other party?
The violent tremors that followed immediately extinguished the hope in Qi Chen’s heart. He also hastily rolled along the path the centipede had crawled.
After escaping from the strange place, the number of demon beasts traveling with them increased.
Every demon beast ran out as if they were exhausting every ounce of their energy.
Qi Chen jumped up and steadily landed on the back of a level-two lion, letting the other party carry him into the distance.
He looked back.
In that strange place, a towering building that was naturally formed rose from the ground and soared into the sky at an extremely fast speed.
Countless boulders and trees fell off the exterior of the building, and the dust that got stirred up was enough to blot out the sky.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew!
The spiral clouds in the sky moved with the wind, slowly rotating.
Under Qi Chen’s astonished gaze, the layers of clouds actually fell from the sky.
It was like a spiralling spear tip.
The clouds descended from the sky, and the tower rose from the ground.
Only after the two collided did the earth stop trembling.
Qi Chen noticed a figure floating in the air outside the tower.
The figure was still emitting a layer of glimmering light, which repelled everything that fell on him.
Without a doubt, this person was Liu Xingchang.
After the earth stopped trembling, Liu Xingchang took the lead and floated towards the tower.
Seeing this sight, Qi Chen’s heart sank.
He did not expect Liu Xingchang to act so quickly.
“Roar!”
The lion below him roared, wishing to shake him off.
“Shut up!”
Qi Chen snorted coldly and released the aura of a level-seven demon beast. The lion immediately quieted down as if it had suffered a heavy blow and sat down obediently.
“Now that the Black Dragon King’s inheritance ground has been opened, it will not be long before countless experts will start swarming over.”
“And now that Liu Xingchang has already entered first, I have to reach level ten and complete my first evolution before the large group of people arrive.”
“Only then will I have the chance to fight for the succession!”
Qi Chen opened his status and confirmed the data.
[Level: 7/10]
[Speed: 8.9/10]
[Defense: 8.9/10]
[Attack: 7/10]
[Enhancement Points: 3]
“Now that I have three enhancement points, I should find a safe place and break through to level eight!”
After making his decision, Qi Chen immediately left.
After finding a cave, he controlled the power within him to break through to level right.
…
Liu Clan.
“Report!”
In the main hall, the elders of the Liu residence were discussing how to capture the traitor Liu Xingchang when a guard rushed in.
“Why are you so flustered?”
Everyone looked displeased and asked coldly.
“Dark Forest! A tower has appeared in the Dark Forest, triggering a world phenomenon!”
“What?!”
Hearing this, everyone cried out in surprise. Some even stood up.
“Dark Forest, tower…”
The first elder thought for a moment before laughing out loud.
“Good, good, good! The legendary Dragon King’s Inheritance Tower that has been silent for ten thousand years has finally appeared!”
“The Dragon King’s Inheritance Tower?”
Upon hearing these words, the crowd all had different expressions.
An elder asked in surprise, “Isn’t the Black Dragon King’s inheritance ground just a legend?”
“It used to be a legend, but not anymore!”
The first elder stood up and waved his arm. “Pass down my orders. Everyone from the Liu family, except those guarding the Liu residence, will set off for the Dark Forest!”
“Understood!”
Everyone obeyed.
With the appearance of the Dragon King’s Inheritance Tower, countless sects, dynasties, and reclusive families sent people to the Dark Forest from thousands of miles away.
