Chapter 1716: I Advise You Not to Do That! Crisis!

Let me observe a bit longer......

Although he was eager to seize the house immediately, the black mist face still forcibly suppressed his impulse.

Analyzing the secret patterns consumes divine sense.

The more divine sense is consumed, the weaker the soul's defense becomes, making possession easier.

Although with his realm venerable remnant soul, possessing a sixth-stage immortal is almost a certainty.

But since it concerns the future foundation, he must be extremely cautious.

As for Xu Jingming's divine crystal and precious treasure......

Once he succeeds in possession, won't all of this be his?

"Break it! The more you break, the weaker your divine sense becomes!"

The black mist face's emerald soul fire greedily stared at Xu Jingming.

As if eager to possess him.

Yet he could never have imagined.

Xu Jingming used the deep blue system to crack the secret patterns, fundamentally not consuming divine sense......

At the center of the battlefield.

Xu Jingming's speed in cracking the secret patterns did not diminish in the slightest.

The twenty-first, twenty-second, twenty-third......

The points were consumed like flowing water.

But his reserves were as vast as millions, utterly indifferent to this loss.

In contrast, others progressed so slowly it was shocking.

Royce exerted all his strength, finally cracking the fourth secret pattern.

Looking up, Xu Jingming was already standing before the forty-fourth secret pattern!

Crack six more, and he would obtain the second reward—that larger divine crystal!

"No! This cannot continue!"

Royce's eyes turned cold.

If this goes on, the inheritance will inevitably belong to Su Chen.

Those two divine crystals and the defensive treasure will also fall entirely into his hands.

By then, Su Chen's strength will surge again.

Then, dealing with him will be even harder for me.

"What should we do?"

Colt also stopped cracking, asking with an ugly expression.

Royce's scarlet eyes swept over Xu Jingming.

He also glanced at Ye Li, Chu Kuang, and Mu Wanqing, a flash of cruelty in his eyes.

"If we can't match his comprehension, let's just interfere with him!"

"Don't let him continue cracking!"

He sent a mental message to Colt and the other two:

"Prepare to act, interrupt Su Chen's contemplation!"

"As long as he is distracted, his cracking speed will surely drop, giving us a chance to catch up!"

"Even if we must abandon this inheritance, we cannot let Su Chen obtain it!"

Upon hearing this, Colt's eyes lit up: "Good!"

The other two also revealed cruel smiles.

They had long disliked Xu Jingming.

A sudden upstart—what right does he have to surpass us?

However——

At the moment Royce prepared to act, Ye Li suddenly opened her eyes.

Her amber eyes coldly swept toward Royce, her clear voice ringing out:

"Chu Kuang, Qingwan, fully protect Lei Shen, let him crack the secret patterns!"

Although she was fully immersed in contemplation, her divine sense always enveloped the surroundings.

Royce's intention, she detected immediately.

"Good!"

"Haha, wanting to cause trouble for Su Brother, first ask us!"

Chu Kuang and Mu Wanqing simultaneously exited the contemplation state.

With a flash, they blocked Xu Jingming's front.

Chu Kuang gripped his heavy sword horizontally, a fierce aura erupting explosively.

Mu Wanqing gently raised her jade hand, a pale green light surging from her delicate frame.

Transforming into soft ripples, they enveloped Ye Li.

The origin of the life law and water law, doubly enhanced!

And only enhancing one person, the effect is stronger!

Ye Li only felt her divine body lighten.

The speed of divine power operation surged, and mental clarity greatly increased.

Her graceful figure slowly rose, the black battle suit clinging to her body, outlining a heart-stirring curve.

Her waist was slender as a willow, her legs straight and long.

Her chest was full and upright beneath the battle garb.

At this moment, her absolutely beautiful face wore a cold expression.

Ink-black pupils locked onto Royce, red lips parting slightly:

"Royce, I advise you not to do that."

Her voice was clear and cold like an ice spring, yet carried an unmistakable chill.

"Ye Li, you want to stop me?"

Royce's face was gloomy.

"The inheritance trial, each relies on their own ability."

Ye Li said indifferently, "Your comprehension falls short of others, so you want to use force to interfere? That's rather despicable."

"Despicable?"

Royce sneered, "Contending for opportunity has always been about displaying one's divine abilities!

Comprehension is ability, force is also ability!"

His blood-red pupils swept over Chu Kuang and Mu Wanqing, finally settling on Ye Li:

"Ye Li, I advise you not to meddle in others' business."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

As his words fell, divine power erupted violently around him.

The Heaven-Scorching Mirror floated behind him, dark red flames soaring to the heavens!

Colt and the other two also erupted with their auras simultaneously, locking onto Ye Li's trio.

The atmosphere instantly became sword-drawn and bow-bent!

"Senior Sister..."

Xu Jingming also sensed the commotion here, his brows furrowing slightly.

He was just about to interrupt his deciphering of the secret patterns to help, but Ye Li's voice came over:

"Lei Shen, continue deciphering the secret patterns, we'll guard here."

She turned back to look at Xu Jingming, her eyes holding determination:

"The inheritance trial is most important, don't get distracted."

"As for Royce..."

Ye Li turned back, looking at Royce, a flash of cold light crossing her ink-black pupils:

"We didn't finish fighting just now, now we simply continue!"

As her words fell, her jade hand lifted lightly, the Obsidian Sword appearing in her palm.

The sword body was dark and lusterless, yet emitted a heart-palpitating sharp aura.

World Venerable level inheritance!

Cannot afford any mistake.

She must help Little Junior Brother obtain it!

"Ye Li?!"

Royce's pupils contracted.

He hadn't expected Ye Li to stand so firmly on Su Chen's side.

Even at the cost of completely tearing face with him!

You have to know, they both come from the Spark Project.

Even thousands of years ago, he had given her quite a few gifts.

Although Ye Li accepted none of them, the relationship was at least there.

And Su Chen, merely a trivial Limitless Eternal stage.

Even before this, he had never heard of any relationship between Ye Li and Su Chen.

Yet now, she was willing to oppose him for such a stranger.

"Good, good, good!"

Royce laughed in extreme anger, "Since you insist on protecting him, then don't blame me!"

He was just about to act, when a strange laugh suddenly came from afar:

"Hehehe... Human Royce, want to join forces?"

Everyone turned to look, only to see Yan Zhu Shen fanning six wings.

Bringing three other demon clan Eternal stage experts flying this way.

Violent colors jumped in his eyes.

His gaze swept over Xu Jingming and Ye Li, finally landing on Royce:

"That Su Chen's speed at deciphering secret patterns is too fast, at this rate the inheritance will definitely be his."

"Why don't we join forces, kick him out first, then each rely on our own abilities to contend for the inheritance, how about it?"

"Join forces?"

Royce was slightly stunned, pondered briefly, then revealed a cruel smile:

"Also good, then let's join forces."

"Hahaha! Refreshing!

Didn't expect there to be such a straightforward guy among humans too!"

Yan Zhu Shen laughed loudly, his flying speed toward this side increasing once more.

Behind him, three demon race powerhouses also accelerated their flight speed, their auras soaring to the heavens.

"Cooperate with the demon race?!"

Ye Li was shocked and furious, crying out in rebuke:

"Royce, do you intend to betray the clan?!"

On the extraterritorial battlefield.

Because of opportunities and resources, incidents of human infighting have not been unheard of.

But that is, after all, the human race's own affair.

Moreover, even in infighting, they often do not strike to kill.

Take this time for example.

Although she and Royce do not get along, she would not truly fight him to the death.

But once Royce joins forces with the demon race, it is different — that is true betrayal of the clan!

The most crucial point is.

With her strength, even with Mu Qingwan's assistance, she can only suppress one Royce.

If another Invincible Eternal-stage Yan Zhu God arrives, she simply has no way to cope.

By then, Junior Brother's progress in deciphering the secret patterns will be interrupted, and the effort will ultimately fall short of success.

Even a life-threatening danger may arise!
