Bab 244: The Last One
"What happened, why is the gate closed?"
Tai Qi looked around the field and noticed that the battlefield was silent. Nobody was fighting and were standing there.
They all had a thought and were not even trying to point this out. In fact, they were afraid to point it out.
All of them looked at Tai Qi who had just arrived. Everyone here is rank 5 now.
When Tai Qi spoke, everyone looked at him. Even Zihao De glanced at Tai Qi.
"What's happening here?" Tai Qi muttered.
"Brother, the gate is already closed. The inheritance was built only for a single individual. You arrived late. Also, the one to enter was Yang Zhai,* Zihao De came close to Tai Qi and whispered.
"Oh, that means that our clan obtained it in the end. But how did Yang Zhai appear here?" Tai Qi inquired.
Tai Qi was informed through Dark Falcons that the inheritance was about to open: thus, Tai Qi departed right away.
"Not just that, but…," Zihao De muttered and stopped before he could say something.
"What?"
"All of us advanced to rank 5; what's even more worse is that Zing Ghe advanced to rank 6…,"
"Huh?!" Tai Qi was left speechless. He couldn't react for a second.
Everyone advanced to rank 5?! And how the hell did Zing Ghe advance to rank 6 just like that?!
"How's that even possible? Is cultivation a joke or something? Have I been living a lie my whole life?! It took me years, and you are telling me you all advanced to rank 5 just like that. And what's worse is that Zing Ghe advanced to rank 6!" Tai Qi was annoyed but kept his voice low and calm.
"No, brother, before Yang Zhai entered the inheritance, he threw a stone into the air along with a pouch. I suspect that the stone was…," Zihao De hesitated again. He didn't even want to think about it.
"You suspect that it was a burst stone, right?"
"Yes, but I still have my doubts. How did it manage to affect such a large area? And how the hell can he know anything about the burst stone? It's something that only the Ma clan has. Not just that, even the Ma clan doesn't use them. They just sell them. But when did he even obtain it if it really was the burst stone?"
"Anyway, what's Zing Ghe doing here?"
"He was after the inheritance."
"Uh… but what about his clan?"
"He doesn't even fear his clan. To him, his clan rules are nothing."
"Oh."
In the meantime, Wan Liu also arrived.
Jun Nie went closer to him and explained about the situation. His reaction was the same as Tai Qi, shocked.
"How's that possible?!" He muttered.
"What happened?!" Zing Ghe—on the other—didn't understand the situation.
Even Zihao De and the others who knew about the burst stone weren't sure, let alone Zing Ghe who didn't even know about the burst stone.
"Both Zihao De and Jun Nie look worried, it means that this powerup is not ordinary," Zing Ghe mutters.
He understands that there is no such thing as free or easy. If someone else makes everyone on the field powerful, then it must benefit that person in some way.
Not good, I need to get out of here. I don't even know what happened. It's really dangerous to stay here anymore. And the Bai clan obtained the inheritance anyway. Zing Ghe reflected and was about to leave.
Even though Tai Qi noticed this, he didn't stop him.
"Clan leader, there's bad news!!" A cultivator came running to Tai Qi.
He didn't even wait for Tai Qi's reply before answering.
"The mortal, the mortal villages have been massacred, all five villages!!!!"
Everyone on the field heard the cultivator.
"What!!!!!!"
…..
Yang Zhai looks at the vase now.
"Here it is!" Yang Zhai muttered after looking inside the vase.
He took out a small round rock. This rock was known for capturing lightning of the heavens. One of the few materials for completing the Aurora was heaven's lightning. Not any ordinary lightning. Yang Zhai could see lightning inside the rock.
It was refined for thousands of years inside this rock, evolving it to another level. If Yang Zhai managed to unseal this rock, the lightning that would appear out of this would be enough to shake the heavens and earth. Every mountain in the surroundings would completely perish. Even the skies would not be spared.
This inheritance was clearly not built for a rank 4 cultivator. No wonder so much blood was needed to open the inheritance. If this lightning was refined into an ire, that ire would be enough to shake the world. And the stone that was able to seal such powerful lightning into it was definitely not ordinary. Over time, this lightning had completely been turned into spiritual lightning. It could also endure the power of the static black sun rays.
Yang Zhai absorbed the spiritual energy with his body. As his aperture had been turned into something else, he could not absorb it with his aperture. As a result, he lost the ability to open a black vortex around his abdomen.
"But that's not a problem anymore after everything was released from the aperture. I can manage it with only one black vortex,"
Now, he had no choice left to connect to his aperture.
Yang Zhai threw the stone into the black vortex. The stone came near the Aurora.
When this happened, the Aurora shook violently. The lightning inside the stone began to move violently.
The stone came near the Aurora, but could not enter it because of the barrier around it. However, it didn't matter as the stone began to circle around the Aurora.
This Aurora was not ordinary. It was directly connected to Yang Zhai's soul and was a part of it. To him, his Aurora and Soul felt the same: a part with two different bodies, just like a coin.
One material for the Aurora had been retrieved. Second part was the black sun made out of aperture. The third part was the Death Warrant. But not a weak one. He needed it to reach at least rank 9 or, better yet, rank 10 or even higher. He still needed many materials, but he was not in a hurry.
"Good,"
Yang Zhai nodded. He wanted two things from this inheritance at all costs: one was the Black Gem and the other was Heaven's Lightning. He got both of them.
He took something else out of the vase.
"Hmm," Yang Zhai's expression turned serious.
"Hey, Vara, is it…"
Vara did not come out of the ring and communicated with Yang Zhai from inside the ring.
"Yes, master, what do you want to know?" Vara replied
"Is it The Last One?"
"Hmm, yes, master. It's definitely The Last One. I am impressed that my previous master also left this!" Even Vara was shocked.
It was also a ring. However, on the ring was written The One.
This ring was a very infamous ring in ancient times. Only one such ring ever appeared in the history of this world. This ring was said to be worn by a Destruction cultivator. It was said that a beast slept in it. A beast of high quality, so high that even the heavens and the containers had to come together to try and defeat it. However, this ring never ever appeared in history after that.
If Yang Zhai knew that this ring was stored in this inheritance, he would have prioritized it even above the Black Gem and Heaven's lightning.
