The grand hall opened, and inside was a scene of chaos. For now, it was unknown which inheritance lay within. At this moment, four groups of people stood separated on the four sides outside the grand hall.
"Ah! It's you!" Wu Tianjun forced a smile and said. His situation was not good at this moment; his inner world was in a miserable state. If he truly engaged in battle, his Lesser Demon Realm could be detonated, and he might not even survive!
"Hmph! Taking things from my Demon Phoenix Sacred Palace, let's see how you get past the Black Phoenix!" Tai Cang Heavenly King snorted coldly and said.
"Little brother! I heard you took things from my Demon Phoenix Sacred Palace?" As expected, the Black Phoenix's cold voice rang out.
"Hmph! This place offers opportunities to everyone; whoever has the ability can come and take them! If you dare touch him, I'll make you regret it!" Mo Haixuan said coldly. He didn't know how strong Wu Tianjun was, but he also didn't believe they could easily overcome them, and Wu Tianjun was still injured, so he immediately stepped forward.
"Mo Haixuan! You don't need to stick your nose into this matter. He's already fought with the Tai Cang family, and now with me too, do you think you can protect him?" The Black Phoenix snorted coldly and said.
"Heh heh!" Tai Cang Heavenly Emperor also let out a strange laugh.
"Oh! Count me in!" Little Dragon King also said. Naturally, he was protecting Wu Tianjun.
"Little Dragon King! Your Dragon Clan wants to side with the Demon Clan again?" The Black Phoenix said.
"Ha! In my eyes, you're not much different from the Demon Clan!" Little Dragon King said indifferently.
"Hmph! Since you want to interfere, let's settle our old and new grudges once and for all!" Tai Cang Heavenly Emperor snorted coldly and said. The last time, the Little Dragon King hunted down his clansmen; he absolutely couldn't let that pass easily.
"Heh heh! When have I ever been afraid of you!" Little Dragon King, full of fighting spirit, said with a laugh. He was a battle maniac, never retreating without a fight.
"Ah! Can you give me some face and not fight?" Qing Lan Princess said with a charming smile. "After all, the inheritance here is what's important. You might get injured or lose out!"
"Oh! Of course, I'll follow Princess Qing Lan's lead!" Little Dragon King immediately changed his tone and said with a chuckle.
"Hmph!" Tai Cang Heavenly Emperor only snorted coldly and said nothing.
"Oh! Of course, we must give face to younger sister Qing Lan. It's just that fellow needs to return our things!" The Black Phoenix said indifferently.
"Hmph! Why are your things in his hands?" Mo Haixuan said coldly. There were only a few people from their Primordial Demon Clan; he had coincidentally encountered one, so how could he let others bully him?
"Hmph! He stole them!" The Black Phoenix said indifferently. Contention among cultivators was common; the strong prey on the weak was the rule of this world! It was just that she absolutely had to retrieve those eight Saintly Herbs.
"What kind of items are they?" Qing Lan Princess asked curiously. Although she didn't know what they were, for someone as proud as the Black Phoenix to lower her stance and demand them back, they surely weren't ordinary items.
"Eight Saintly Herbs!" The Black Phoenix said indifferently. She said she couldn't help but desire them; it was likely no one here wouldn't be tempted!
"Eight Saintly Herbs..." Everyone present immediately narrowed their eyes. They had also found quite a few Saintly Herbs; the top five, for example, had found nearly thirty Saintly Herbs. How crazy would the outside world be! Eight Saintly Herbs was no small number; in fact, fewer than ten people here had found more than that!
"You..." Mo Haixuan looked coldly at the Black Phoenix. She wanted to push Wu Tianjun to his death.
“Ah! Do you take me for a soft persimmon? You call yourself Hei Fenghuang? *Cough*...” Wu Tianjun coughed up a mouthful of blood as he spoke.
“Haha! Injured! It seems taking a move from your big brother last time wasn’t so bad after all!” Taichang Tianwang laughed loudly upon seeing this, but he immediately felt that something was amiss in the atmosphere.
Taichang Tiandi and the others, including Maha Xuan and Xiao Longwang, watched Wu Tianjun with constricted pupils. That mouthful of blood contained a mysterious and unknown, yet terrifying, power. The vegetation beneath them suddenly grew rapidly before withering and disappearing, and the ground also sank by about three meters, forming a pit more than ten meters wide! The people nearby, including Maha Xuan and Xiao Longwang, immediately distanced themselves from Wu Tianjun. They had encountered this kind of power in many places over the past month—spacetime power! They just didn’t know what realm it had reached.
That’s right! Wu Tianjun’s mouthful of blood contained a trace of spacetime power that had leaked from his Little Demon Realm. Not only that, but the demonic energy around his body gradually mixed with a faint white light. Spacetime power was spilling out of his body!
What terrified those people was that Wu Tianjun, despite being afflicted by spacetime power, was still alive, as if he was suppressing it! How powerful was this? Of the more than twenty thousand people who entered this life, only about fifteen thousand remained. The remaining several thousand had died because they were caught in spacetime power; not a single one survived! Even star-level geniuses were no exception!
“Hmph!” Wu Tianjun snorted. Half of the mask below his eyes had been corroded by spacetime power. Fortunately, he possessed Spacetime Intent, which restrained the spacetime power; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so simple.
“If I hadn’t been afflicted by this spacetime power...! Hmph!” He coldly glanced at Hei Fenghuang. This woman was truly vicious; if he had the chance, he wouldn’t let her off easy! His inner world was currently cracking in several places, and the energy had grown too vast for him to bear. He needed to find a place to cultivate in seclusion!
Outside the Inheritance Grand Hall, within a hundred-meter radius centered on Wu Tianjun, no one dared to approach. Even Maha Xuan could only stand far away, watching him with concern.
“Brother Wu, are you alright?” he shouted.
“Haha! I won’t die! *Cough*...” Wu Tianjun said, coughing up another mouthful of blood. He glanced slightly at the interior of the grand hall; he needed a place to cultivate in seclusion!
The people around looked at Wu Tianjun with extreme fear. They didn’t know what methods he used, but his ability to resist spacetime power was undeniable proof of his strength. Perhaps his reluctance to fight Taichang Tiandi more than a month ago also had a reason. As for Hei Fenghuang, her expression was dark and uncertain at this moment, having inexplicably provoked such a mysterious and powerful individual.
“Hmph! Afflicted by spacetime power, his death is beyond doubt!” Taichang Tianwang coldly snorted from afar.
“...” Taichang Tiandi frowned in thought, his mind unknown. They had many secrets that allowed them to reach the peak of the God Lord realm before the age of two hundred, but he was somewhat unconfident about confronting that spacetime power himself.
Wu Tianjun pondered for a moment and decided to leave the grand hall. After all, he had no interest in the inheritance here. What he needed right now was a place to cultivate in seclusion and resolve the spacetime power.
“Cough!” He coughed up another mouthful of blood. “Maha Xuan, Xiao Long Wang! If there’s a chance in the future, I will come find you!” He said, then turned and left the grand hall, ignoring everyone. There was nothing here he needed to stay for; besides, that remnant soul was still dormant within!
“Huh?!?” Maha Xuan and Xiao Long Wang were somewhat startled to hear this. This person actually didn't care about the inheritance here, but they quickly calmed down. He was still worried about suppressing and eliminating the Power of Time and Space; how could he possibly care about this inheritance?
“Cough!” Wu Tianjun lightly coughed, sending a sound transmission. “You two should also pay attention. This Inner World might still contain the remnant soul of its former master. Furthermore, that Tai Cang Tian Di is a deeply hidden individual; be careful!”
Seeing Wu Tianjun leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If that fellow hadn't been injured by the Power of Time and Space and rendered unable to act, the competition for the Main Inheritance Hall here would likely have been even more difficult. At the very least, no one else here was confident enough to resolve and suppress the Power of Time and Space like him!
“You really don’t have any information about him?” Hei Fenghuang turned to the people behind her and asked.
“He’s the only one from the outside world who has traveled on the Xuan Ming Merchant Ship. He’s the one who spread the news of this immortal’s cave!” A black-clothed youth said to Hei Fenghuang. He was the giant bird that had once fought Wu Tianjun in the Demonic Sea.
“Hmm! We’ll find out more about him once we’re outside!” Hei Fenghuang said. Someone so heaven-defying must surely leave some clues.
“Huh! Following him is also a Demonic Race Saint Ancestor, but we don’t know who that person is!” the black-clothed youth added.
“Hmph! Quite mysterious!” Hei Fenghuang snorted coldly.
The remaining three factions also discussed similar topics. They hadn't found much in the way of clues, but they were determined to investigate thoroughly once they were outside.
“Alright! Since that person has left, we should also take a look at this Main Inheritance Hall!” Qing Lan Princess said, after glancing in Wu Tianjun’s direction. Getting rid of a mysterious strong enemy was more than they could have hoped for!
“Let’s go by strength!” Maha Xuan also looked in Wu Tianjun’s direction and said. He needed to contend for this fortuitous encounter!
