Chapter 296: Test From Wise Forefathers

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The old man levitated before Lu Yu’s eyes. Those deep, profound eyes looked at the floating monster corpses all around him.

“Thousands of years have passed, yet our human race still has not completely destroyed these beasts!”

“Descendant, since you have obtained the plaque left behind by the ancestors, then everything in the legacy I owned will also belong to you.”

“But though you have received the ancestors’ approval, you still have to undergo the test I have set for you!”

“If you can’t pass the test I have for you in the end, I’m afraid you are not qualified to inherit the legacy the ancestors and I have left behind! ”

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Lu Yu and waited for his reply.

After hearing the old man’s words, Lu Yu raised his head without hesitation and looked at the old man as he replied, “Since Forefather has spoken, I, Lu Yu, am willing to give it a try. If in the end, I am not able to pass the test, then there’s no point in keeping my life!”

After listening to Lu Yu’s reply, the old man nodded his head in satisfaction. He then said to Lu Yu, “Since you are already prepared, then I will say no more. Walk into that ring of light. I hope you can successfully pass the test the ancestors and I have set for you!”

As the old man finished speaking, the numerous monster corpses that were initially floating in the void began turning.

As the monsters’ corpses turned over, a green teleportation formation gradually appeared in Lu Yu’s sight.

Looking at that green teleportation formation, Lu Yu never once hesitated. He strode boldly into the teleportation formation.

“Remember to abide by your own conscience scrupulously. Do not forget. You are our Human Race’s last hope!”

As Lu Yu was being transported off by the teleportation formation, the old man kept reminding Lu Yu.

Just before he was whisked off, Lu Yu heard the old man’s reminders and gave a deep, respectful bow to the old man in silence.

At the same moment as Lu Yu was being transported away, the three great families, the scattered cultivators and some small factions also came up to the old man.

Looking at the numerous corpses suspended in mid-air emitting an endless sense of power and might, cold sweat inevitably broke out on the backs of the group of cultivators.

In spite of this, the leaders of the three great families Song Yu and Ying You were only mildly dumbstruck for a while before coming back to their senses.

“Oh? Who would have thought that two more admirable little guys would show up after that descendant of our Human Race! It’s a pity you did not obtain that true plaque, otherwise all of you will also have a chance to fight for it.”

Looking at the bewildered expressions on Song Yu and Ying You’s faces, the old man lamented with an inexplicably happy disposition.

Upon hearing the old man’s words, the expressions on the faces of Song Yu, Ying You and the youth leading the Chu family changed drastically.

“What, Venerable Forefather? Judging from your words, someone has already entered this land of the legacy before us?”

“Looks like our worst fear has come true. Someone has indeed beaten us to the goal!”

The youth leading the Chu family spoke up and a glint of killing intent flashed across his eyes. He looked as if he wanted to slaughter that guy who had just beaten them to enter this land of the hidden legacy first.

However, before the youth leading the Chu family could finish speaking, a wave of endless power and might assaulted him, pressing down on his body forcefully.

Under the pressure of this endless power and might, the youth leading the Chu family collapsed to the ground on his knees, his whole body completely deprived of the ability to put up any resistance.

Looking at the youth leading the Chu family kneeling on the ground, his forehead densely peppered with sweat, Song Yu and Ying You nearby cursed silently in their hearts, “What an idiot! ”

“Fine. Since you lot have obtained the legacy plaques I left behind, you have qualified to inherit my legacy as well”

“But for the sake of fairness, if that descendant who came before you lot showed up managed to pass the test our Human Race’s ancestors have set, then whether it’s my legacy or the legacy left behind by our Human Race’s ancestors, they will all belong to him alone!”

“If you have no objections, you can decide right now. If you want to inherit my legacy, then you can walk into the teleportation formation that I have already prepared in advance.”

The moment the old man finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stood suspended in mid-air silently.

The old man did not have to wait too long before the groups led by Song Yu and Ying You made their decision.

“Forefather, we still want to give it a try, regardless of the outcome. We can’t possibly let this turn into a wasted trip!”

The eldest daughter of the Song family, Song Yu, was the first to step forward and tell the old man the decision she had made.

By her side, Ying You followed closely on Song Yu’s heels and stepped forward too. He gave a respectful bow to the old man and said, “Forefather, Sister Song Yu is right. Since we are already here, there is no reason to let this turn into a wasted trip.”

“Even if we end up with nothing and return without achieving anything, we still have to give it a try!”

When the old man, who had his eyes tightly closed all this while, heard this, he opened his eyes with some gratification.

“Not bad. Not bad indeed, you who are the descendants. With people like you in the Human Race’s future, I am truly relieved!”

“If you lot have already made up your minds, then just enter this teleportation formation. Over there, you will undergo the test to inherit my legacy!”

With that, the old man waved his hand, and the teleportation formation that transported Lu Yu away materialized once more.

The groups led by Song Yu and Ying You did not hesitate for a moment. They all charged into the teleportation formation.

After watching the teleportation formation send off everyone, the old man closed both his eyes again, his face full of hope.

“I hope that fellow who obtained the approval of our Human Race’s ancestors can pass the test successfully. This is our Human Race’s last chance…”

After entering the teleportation formation, Lu Yu was instantly transported to a patch of forest before he had time to react.

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Lu Yu suddenly felt wary, sensing that something was not quite right with this place.

As his innate alertness melted away, Lu Yu’s figure swiftly dodged to one side.

Sure enough, the instant Lu Yu dodged, a ray of blade light landed on the very spot Lu Yu was standing previously.

Boom!

As the deafening sound of the explosion roared out, a cloud of dust flew up from the spot where Lu Yu was standing previously.

“Cough! Cough! Cough! What is going on? Why did I get attacked the moment I

entered? What bad luck!”

Lu Yu choked on the dust that burst forth so abruptly. As he coughed vehemently, he grumbled and mumbled.

It was not until the dust settled that Lu Yu saw clearly who attacked him earlier.

The object that attacked Lu Yu was none other than a giant mechanical beast that appeared incredibly ferocious and barbaric.

Sensing the thick and dense killing intent emanating from the giant mechanical beast, Lu Yu couldn’t help swallowing nervously.

“Cough! Cough! Thank goodness I dodged fast enough.. Otherwise, that strike just now could have injured me!”
