Right then...
That mysterious elder was choosing the inheritor according to procedures.
Before his eyes...
The results of the assessment flashed across. According to the ranks of the legacy assessments, he saw that mysterious and unique teenager at first glance!
That child possessed almost all of the desirable qualities!
First, he was young enough.
Second, he came in first on many occasions!
These two points were enough to make him pass the legacy to him immediately!
However...
When he was feeling satisfied with the target of his choice, his face instantly darkened. Damn! This was because he discovered that this near to perfect inheritor was actually a Card Creator!
Yes.
Two-star Card Creator!
Oh...
He remembered now. He was that salted fish that he had seen before.
Wait a minute. How could a two-star Card Creator come in top in two Swordsman assessments?
He felt bewildered.
Card Creator...
Perhaps after countless years of evolution, the Card Creator had already transformed into a combat vocation that was on par with a Swordsman?
Therefore, the elder’s gaze swept across that five-star Card Creator. Oh, wrong. Look at this five-star... He was still a thrash...
Forget it.
It was a sheer pity.
He could find someone else.
His eyes scanned again and landed on the second place, Zhao Yunshan.
Oh, the second place was not bad either. Although this Zhao Yunshan was older, less talented, had a weaker physique and less mental strength...
He paused for a moment.
This batch of inheritors was actually poor to such an extent?!
He was a dignified five-star Swordsman and yet, he did not clinch any first place. It was all second and third places. That was too embarrassing!
Oh.
There was someone who came in top here!
He looked at Gao Tianlang, who was ranked third overall. This guy also had a combination of second and third places. Nevertheless, he came in first for one of the assessments. Tsk tsk...
When he took a closer look, his emotions crumbled instantly.
This first place was actually clinched by his younger sister?
Shush!
The elder rolled his eyes.
At this moment...
Since it was already the final moment of the legacy, he naturally held full authority and could easily find out how the first place came about!
This crazy demon sent his sister to death!
He actually sacrificed his sister in exchange for the first place?
Shameless!
Gao Tianlang, out!
...
At this moment...
Gao Tianlang was recovering from his injuries in the void of the legacy.
He could clearly sense a gush of strange and malicious aura. Even the flow of the energy that healed his wounds had slowed down tremendously. He felt inexplicable.
Why did he feel the legacy repelling him?
What happened?
Gao Tianlang looked confused.
...
Change to someone else!
The elder switched to the next person in a familiar manner.
Yes.
This was the criteria of selection.
Why was it that the Lunar Shadow legacy only required assessments and results and did not care about one’s moral character? This was because the consciousness that was in charge of the legacy was in fact the consciousness of the Lunar Shadow’s avatar!
Naturally, he knew how to differentiate between the good and the bad.
For things such as legacy, it was all about the talent and likes!
Tsk tsk.
These inheritors would never have thought that he was the consciousness of Lunar Shadow’s avatar!
Oh.
Next one.
Fourth, Wu Hongfei.
The elder’s gaze swept across the results and he instantly frowned.
Fourth!
Fourth!
Fifth!
...
These kind of results!
Most importantly, he was overtaken by that assistant Gao Xiaoqing once!
Looking at his age?
He was so old!
The oldest among all the inheritors!
The only positive quality was that this guy had a trace of ancient bloodline which was very unique. If this was a Warrior legacy, he might have some advantages.
However, this was a Swordsman legacy!
Sorry.
There were no additional points for the ancient minority.
Eliminated!
...
Fifth, Wang Xuan.
The elder’s gaze shone gently.
However...
Although Wang Xuan’s results were average, this child was very young and mature. In his eyes, he almost became the second in line to the succession!
He had even surpassed Gao Tianlang and Zhao Yunshan!
It was just that...
Was he really going to pass it to Wang Xuan?
The elder looked at Lu Ming’s results and then at Wang Xuan’s again. Why did he feel so upset?
One of them swept up all the first places and demolished almost half the legacy site. Even when they encountered danger, he was well prepared and simply the perfect inheritor!
Unfortunately...
He was a Card Creator!
What about Wang Xuan?
He passed in various areas but it was merely a pass!
Sigh.
The elder sighed. He had never felt so upset.
Why...
Why did you have to be a Card Creator?!
Or perhaps other people?
However...
With Lu Ming’s scary results, the other people’s results were like a pile of poop no matter how he looked at it. He even felt that destroying the legacy was better than giving it to them.
Actually, these people were already top-notch geniuses!
It was just that...
Because of Lu Ming.
In this strange and mysterious environment, they could not display their talents at all. This resulted in the uncanny situation. However, the elder could not see all of this.
He even specially glanced across the assistants. The only ones that he was satisfied with were the elder sister and younger brother sibling pair!
That elder sister...
He would not talk about it.
She did not even have the legacy trace. He could not pass it to her even if she wanted to.
Moreover, he could vaguely sense that the legacy in that sister seemed to carry a horrifying presence. If he were to really pass the legacy to her, he might become a goner...
Sigh.
The world is so heartless.
It was so difficult to find an inheritor for the legacy.
Forget it.
The elder sighed and looked through the assessment results of Wang Xuan and the group.
...
After a long time...
A deafening sigh could be heard across the skies.
Alright.
The elder focused his gaze. It will be you, then...
Although...
He shook his head with some regrets. As to what would happen eventually, he would leave it to destiny.
In fact...
He was very content to have come such a long way.
Just an hour ago, he had thought that he was going to vanish and die. He had never thought that these children would eventually give him a little surprise...
Oh.
And that danger...
The Lunar Shadow stared at the island. Seemingly discovering something, he actually smiled.
Interesting...
Alright.
It will end here!
Shush!
He waved his big hands and endless radiance circulated.
...
In the void of the legacy.
Both of Lu Ming’s eyes were tightly closed.
The legacy did not have anything to do with him. Hence, he was not very interested.
The deal with Zhang Erliang was merely a compromise because Zhang Erliang would not believe him and vice versa. What he needed was time!
He was only worried that he did not have enough time!
And for now...
The Lunar Shadow’s intervention had given him sufficient time.
“Hopefully...
You won’t disappoint me,” Lu Ming muttered to himself.
He was the only one who was clear of how terrifying that card was!
Because that card was the combination of the Burial Mound Card and Charging Card!
After energy tempering, Lu Ming’s had become extremely stable. Hence, he created this extremely unique card called Burial Mound Charging Card!
The effects of the Burial Mound Card had always been dependent on energy.
Therefore...
What if there were endless energy?
When they trod on every inch of the land on the seventh mountain, they had absorbed all the energy and even used all his herbs!
All the energy had been used on this card!
This card...
Suddenly...
The void in the legacy was shaking.
Lu Ming’s heart trembled. He knew that the legacy was finally going to commence.
This also meant that...
He had to leave this place now!
...
At this very moment...
On this mysterious island.
Bang!
There was a deafening sound!
A light pillar from the legacy shot through the sky.
A beam of light engulfed the surroundings. The entire legacy site was constantly switching between a state of illusion and reality. After countless flashes of lights, it stopped in reality for an instant!
Those barriers...
The restrictions that had blocked them for countless years...
All of them had disappeared!
That misty and beautiful illusory scenery that they had seen in the past had become reality at this moment.
The legacy was really coming!
All the rules were gone.
Right now...
Everyone’s gaze was focusing on a certain place.
They were clear that since the legacy site had become part of reality, that light pillar... Those inheritors...
Bang!
In the middle of the site.
That light pillar who shot through the sky suddenly erupted.
Bang!
The earth trembled.
A humongous pillar of light erupted and the Lunar Shadow legacy formally disappeared. The restricted area that had been closed for countless number of years was finally completely open on this mysterious island!
The legacy had come to a close!
Zhang Erliang and everyone were suddenly startled awake!
Someone... had attained the legacy!
Bang!
Above the sky.
A pair of huge eyes actually opened at this moment.
Buzz—
Lights and shadows flashed.
That ancient pair of eyes stared straight through the darkness towards every corner of the island and instantly locked his gaze on the inheritor who had just appeared among the group of legacy participants!
Shush!
His gaze locked onto him!
Beams of cold and chilling aura dashed towards him.
“It has been finalized!”
Zhang Erliang and the group were elated.
They were clear that they could not escape once someone had been locked on by that illusory pair of eyes.
From this moment, they would be chased by the people on the entire island until all of them had been killed or caught. The operation this time was going to be a success!
“Let’s go!” he yelled loudly.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The Swordsmen rushed towards the location that Lu Ming and the group appeared at.
However...
Just at this moment...
Bang!
There was a deafening sound.
The earth trembled.
The entire island was actually shaking!
Everyone was dumbstruck.
This...
What happened?
Bang!
There was another deafening sound.
Buzz—
The barrier that isolated the entire island was actually shaking.
“The barrier has been attacked!”
“What happened?”
Everyone was in fear and trepidation.
The purpose of the barrier of the island was to prevent Lu Ming and the group from escaping. However, these people had just appeared from the legacy and had not attempted to escape at all!
And...
The location...
Bang!
There was another booming noise.
Damn it!
What exactly had happened?
Could it be the legendary huge Tsunami?
...
“Let me take a look!”
Elder Xu rose to the sky.
He dashed to the seaside with his fastest speed.
However...
When he rushed to the seaside and saw clearly what happened outside the barrier, a shocked and terrified expression instantly emerged on his face. These... What were these?!
There was a stretch of darkness where his gaze landed.
That was...
Sea cows!
Yes.
Endless sea cows!
He did know what agitated those terrifying herds of sea cows. They were actually swimming over in groups and using their bodies to knock against the barrier.
Bang!
Bang!
The barrier was shaking.
The most terrifying thing was — This was only on the surface of the sea!!!
Bang!
The island was shaking.
Elder Xu’s expression turned very ugly.
He glanced into the water and could clearly see endless sea cows appearing below the island and rampantly bumping against the island!
It was without a moment of rest!
“Damn it! Why are there so many sea cows?”
“I don’t know.”
“There are sea cows everywhere both on the surface and in the water.”
Everyone was in fear and trepidation.
They did not know what happened at all.
However...
This situation did not last for very long.
Very soon...
All the sea cows disappeared without a trace, leaving behind an island that was falling apart.
“It’s still not too bad.”
Elder Xu and the group heaved a sigh of relief.
The barrier was still around.
“Sea cows...”
Zhang Erliang closed his eyes gently.
The appearance of these living creatures gave him a bad premonition, and he highly suspected that Lu Ming was the one who had caused this!
However, it was not that bad. These sea cows appeared and left quickly.
The surface of the sea looked very peaceful now.
Only a few sea cows who were slower were escaping in fear, and some looked comical and extremely dumb after they were knocked onto the reef.
However...
Inexplicably...
Zhang Erliang had a very bad premonition.
Bulls...
The sixth mountain...
The boulder man...
Sea cows...
...
Countless thoughts flashed across his mind. When he looked at those terrifying sea cows, an unbelievable thought came to his mind. Why were the sea cows fleeing?
They were so terrified!
That was only one possibility...
“Elder Xu!”
Zhang Erliang suddenly felt his entire body freezing. “Do we have any cows nearby... Those that are very scary...”
“No.”
Elder Xu shook his head. “There are only these sea cows within a thousand miles radius here.”
“That’s good.”
Zhang Erliang heaved a sigh of relief.
“However, outside the thousands of miles...”
Elder Xu paused for a moment and said in puzzlement, “There is a cave in the depths of the sea. There seems to be something called a deep-sea giant manatee staying there, but it does not have anything to do with us...”
Before he could finish his words, he saw that Zhang Erliang’s face was as white as a sheet.
It actually....
It actually existed!
“Don’t worry.”
Elder Xu consoled him, “That’s really far...”
Sigh.
It was really...
The kids nowadays were good at everything except that they were a little timid. Zhang Erliang was not bad, he was talented and smart and was his child...
He had just wanted to ease Zhang Erliang’s worries a little.
Suddenly, the sky turned dark.
Elder Xu looked up blankly.
A huge shadow seemed to have appeared in the sky.
That was...
Bang!
That massive shadow broke the clouds and landed. It was actually a horrifying and humongous beast which was almost as big as the island. It rose to the sky and actually landed towards the center of the island!
Bang!
There was a deafening sound.
The six-star peak energy barrier shattered immediately!
That humongous and terrifying figure crashed landed on the island, giving out an earth-shattering sound. This island who had existed for an unknown period of time was suddenly collapsing!
Bang!
That terrifying living creature suddenly landed.
Ouch!
It swallowed a part of the mountain top, including the flagpole on it before drifting away leisurely, leaving behind a big mess and an island that was in shambles.
