Chapter 1216: Miraculous! The Dominator-Level Inheritance Has Appeared!

"Haha, you're pretty smart for an S-rank."

According to the records, the Dominator-level inheritance was taken away fifty thousand years ago.

However, the family that took the inheritance comes to this deathland every hundred years or so.

No one knows if something of the inheritance still lingers here.

If we're lucky, we might actually find something."

Eva chuckled.

But Xu Jingming had already lost interest; he stood up from the ground.

At one meter ninety-five tall, he stood out sharply in the cave, turning to Lu Yunji and saying:

"Let's go. Let's try to leave here as soon as possible."

"Alright." Lu Yunji gave a slight nod.

When the two left the cave, the sky of the deathland remained an unnatural crimson red.

Under five hundred times gravity, every step felt like carrying a mountain forward.

"According to Eva's environmental comparison analysis, we should be at the northeastern edge of the deathland."

"At full speed, we can exit the deathland in about three days."

Xu Jingming looked up toward the distance, his pitch-black eyes flickering with Lei Guang.

"Two days isn't too long."

Lu Yunji nodded slightly, her crimson eyes scanning the surroundings as her red lips parted:

"The deathland has few beasts, but those that survive here are all at least Spirit Blood rank. Stay cautious."

"Understood."

Sssshhh—

A flash of black Lei Guang, and Xu Jingming suddenly soared into the air, flying toward their chosen direction.

Behind him, crimson light flickered as Lu Yunji's slender figure followed closely.

Under five hundred times gravity, their speed was suppressed to less than one percent of normal.

Yet even so, their flight speed reached a staggering roughly one times the speed of sound.

"Roar—"

After traveling about two hours, a low growl came from ahead.

Xu Jingming raised his hand to signal a stop, his gaze sharp as he stared at the source.

A black giant lizard, over a hundred meters long, crawled out from a rock fissure, its dark golden vertical pupils coldly fixed on the two.

Its entire body was covered in metallic black scales, its tail ending in backward-pointing spines, radiating the aura of Starlight Stage Eight.

"Blackscale Lizard, Starlight Stage Eight, Spirit Blood rank."

Lu Yunji swiftly identified the beast, her crimson eyes blazing with battle lust, "I'll handle it."

"No, leave it to me."

How could Xu Jingming pass up the chance to harvest ability points?

He didn't even need to activate his Law Form; with a mere thought, a black thunderbolt piercing heaven and earth crashed down.

Thunder Punishment Art!

"Roar!!"

The Starlight Stage Eight Blackscale Lizard barely had time to let out a shriek.

Its head was obliterated by the thick lightning, utterly extinguished.

The eighth level of the Annihilation Domain granted the Devouring Sun Shenlei terrifying offensive power.

Combined with the Thunder Punishment Art being a T7-tier combat technique, it was naturally easy to kill it.

'Ding, defeated one Starlight Stage Eight Spirit Blood beast: Blackscale Lizard. Source points +300.'

A pleasant system notification echoed in his mind; Xu Jingming's eyes brightened slightly.

This beast provided nearly fifty percent more source points than a same-rank beast outside!

'If only there weren't so few beasts here and the environment weren't so harsh, this would be a great place to harvest source points.'

A fleeting thought passed through his mind; after collecting the most valuable materials from the Blackscale Lizard, Xu Jingming set off again with Lu Yunji.

With their strength, as long as they didn't encounter a Bloodline-rank Starlight Stage Eight or a Star Stage beast, few could threaten them.

Thus, the two continued forward, encountering over a dozen high-stage Starlight beasts along the way.

Under Xu Jingming's overwhelming power, all these beasts became his source of points.

Night fell; the deathland's sky turned a strange dark purple, and the two found shelter in a recess of a rock wall.

"At this rate, we should exit the deathland by the morning after tomorrow."

Lu Yunji leaned back against the rock wall, her long legs crossed.

She took out a bottle of nutrient fluid, sipped lightly, and droplets slid down her red lips, leaving a glistening trail along her Bai Xi neck.

As a Starlight Stage Eight expert, she generally didn't need to actively replenish energy.

Her body automatically absorbed Yuan energy to survive.

But with prolonged flight, extra replenishment was necessary.

While replenishing his own energy, Xu Jingming opened his system panel.

【Source Points】: 50,000

He had originally had 44,000 source points on his panel.

Yet in just over ten hours, he had gathered 6,000 source points in this deathland.

This efficiency was undeniably fast.

Once we fully understand the nature of the Dead Zone, we might venture near its edge.

Xu Jingming thought silently to himself.

The source point yield, nearly twice that of the ordinary Black Stone Star region, had already stirred his interest.

Boom—

Suddenly, he felt the ground tremble slightly.

"Are beast creatures charging toward us?"

Xu Jingming sprang to his feet alertly, but his spiritual sense detected no unusual anomalies within its range.

The trembling grew stronger; fragments of rock began rolling down the cliff walls.

At that moment, Lu Yunji pointed toward the distant horizon and cried out in shock:

"Look over there!"

Xu Jingming followed the direction of her finger and saw, over a hundred kilometers away,

the dark red clouds in the sky beginning to rotate, forming a massive vortex.

At the vortex's center, a brilliant purple light gradually coalesced.

An ancient and boundless aura emanated from the vortex, causing both Xu Jingming and Lu Yunji to feel a sudden pang of dread.

"What is this...?!"

Xu Jingming's pupils shrank sharply.

Boom!

A portal of the Secret Realm, over dozens of kilometers in diameter, materialized with a thunderous crash beneath the vortex.

Simultaneously, a grand and immense voice rang out from within the portal:

"I am the Sovereign of Purple Nightmare. This is my legacy secret realm.

Only those of Starlight Rank or Star Rank may enter. Pass the trials, and you shall receive the Sovereign's legacy!"

The voice erupted like spring thunder, instantly surging across the entire Black Stone Star.

"Sovereign's legacy! A Sovereign-level legacy has emerged!"

Lu Yunji's beautiful eyes widened in shock, her face filled with astonishment.

Xu Jingming also realized—it was a Sovereign who had perished sixty thousand years ago.

Somehow, fragments of his legacy had remained here, only now revealing themselves!

"My mouth really is that lucky? There's actually a Sovereign-level legacy appearing?!"

Eva was equally stunned.

She'd only spoken offhandedly—she never expected a Sovereign-level legacy to actually appear!

"Let's go!"

The two exchanged glances and sprinted without hesitation toward the vortex.

At this moment, the five-hundredfold gravity no longer seemed an obstacle; they unleashed their full speed and reached the Secret Realm's entrance in less than twenty seconds.

The area around the vortex blazed with radiant light.

The surrounding space warped, forming a Secret Realm entrance roughly thirty kilometers in diameter.

Mysterious runes swirled at the entrance, radiating a suffocating aura of pressure.

"We might be the first to discover it."

Lu Yunji breathed heavily, her full chest rising and falling rapidly, "Shall we go in?"

Xu Jingming stared intently at the Secret Realm entrance: "A Sovereign's legacy—miss this chance, and there may never be another."

"Then let's go together!"

Lu Yunji declared decisively.

The two no longer hesitated; they charged simultaneously toward the Secret Realm entrance.
