Chapter 557: The Strongest Guardian

Seeing this formation, even the geniuses who once had their Token taken by Ye Liuyun, now that they have their own guardian, do not dare to seek revenge on Ye Liuyun.

Although Ye Liuyun hasn't yet obtained a statue guardian, the guardian powers of the three women beside him are all stronger than theirs.

Therefore, most of their thoughts are focused on choosing and battling for inheritances.

The inheritances they first linked to were relatively weak. Now they've switched to a new batch, which is clearly stronger than the previous one.

Obviously, the later the inheritance, the more powerful it is. Yet some self‑aware geniuses, feeling it's enough, simply pick one and leave.

Now the competition for selection is certainly much smaller. Once those Heavenly Elites have chosen their guardians, it's up to them. The rest can only take what's left, and might end up with nothing.

Ye Liuyun pays no attention to others, focusing solely on Mo Tianheng. He suddenly notices that Mo Tianheng's Divine Sense communicating with the stone statues has incorporated Heaven and Earth Power.

"He's showing off his strength! Right, why didn't I think of that!"

Ye Liuyun suddenly realizes. "To earn the respect of these stone statues, you have to display your own strength, make them think you have a future!"

Thus, Ye Liuyun again projects his Divine Sense, this time emanating from the Mixed Origin War God he activated after merging his powers.

What delights Ye Liuyun this time is that the five statues, after his Divine Sense sweeps over them, have their Divine Sense suddenly intensify.

Moreover, the Divine Sense within the five statues simultaneously scans Ye Liuyun, observing his condition.

"Now I've finally done it right! If they still don't choose me, there's nothing I can do!" Ye Liuyun thinks to himself, awaiting the five stone statues' decision.

Soon, Ye Liuyun feels that the Divine Sense within the Qilin statue and the two male statues fades, indicating they are dissatisfied with him.

Meanwhile, the images of the Demon Race and the exotic beast continue to observe him.

At this moment, the exotic beast suddenly communicates with Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense: "I didn't expect to see this thing here! Well, it's fate. Let me lend you a hand!"

It doesn't specify what it is, but Ye Liuyun guesses it's the Ten Thousand Gods Command. He thinks only the Ten Thousand Gods Command he carries could pique such a great deity's interest.

"Thank you, senior, for your favor. How should I address you?" The heavy stone in Ye Liuyun's heart finally lifts, and he immediately asks the beast's identity.

"Nine Heavens War God, Crocodragon!"

The beast replies with a sentence and then falls silent.

Immediately, a more powerful energy erupts from its statue, charging toward Ye Liuyun.

The energy comes at him too violently. Under its pressure, Ye Liuyun is completely immobilized, unable even to emit Divine Sense.

"This Nine Heavens War God Crocodragon is too fierce. Could it kill me outright this time?"

Ye Liuyun can only worry silently in his heart.

He feels the energy is too overwhelming and fears he cannot endure it.

"Other people's energy is never this savage!" Ye Liuyun cannot shout now; otherwise he would have already called out.

However, the feared scenario does not occur. Though the energy is wild, it circles him once, condensing the Crocodragon's image without harming Ye Liuyun.

"Hahaha, scared you, little guy!" the Crocodragon continues to tease Ye Liuyun.

"Um... even a Nine Heavens War God jokes like this?" He doesn't dare say it aloud, only thinks it, and forces an awkward smile.

Ye Liuyun obtained the Crocodragon's guardian, shocking the entire arena again.

Some may not know, but those within the Alliance all understand what the statue atop the largest stone pillar signifies.

"The future is limitless!"

Yao Xinghai and several Elders communicated with their Divine Sense, and together reached this unanimous conclusion.

"The strongest guardian is the Nine Heavens War God Crocodragon. It has never guarded anyone before; this is the first occurrence!"

An Elder reminds everyone, saying.

Everyone nods, looking solemnly at Ye Liuyun. Then they all turn their attention to Yu Haotian.

Yu Haotian is now extremely anxious. Ye Liuyun having obtained the strongest guardian silently increases his pressure.

In previous martial contests he entered, the statues themselves would approach him. Of course, unlike this time, even the statue on the largest stone pillar appeared.

In past contests, having the third‑largest stone pillar appear was already quite good.

The usually arrogant Yu Haotian now cannot save face, so he actively makes a request to that pillar, and remains stuck there.

Ye Liuyun also notices that Mo Tianheng is now focusing all his energy on the statue holding a hammer, continuously sending requests to it.

And that statue's Divine Sense has become somewhat stronger than before.

"Seems it's effective!" Ye Liuyun thinks.

Meanwhile, the Divine Sense of the other three statues grows weaker, about to vanish.

Ye Liuyun watches Yu Haotian, also feeling anxious for him. Finally he can't help but send a Transmission Voice reminder.

"Proactively use Divine Sense to communicate!"

In the end, Yu Haotian shakes his head and chooses one on the second‑largest stone pillar—a golden lion—as his guardian.

"This guy is really stubborn!"

Ye Liuyun shakes his head helplessly.

The statue holding the hammer, finally moved by Mo Tianheng's persistence, releases energy and becomes his guardian.

"Congratulations, Brother Mo!"

Ye Liuyun genuinely admires Mo Tianheng's perseverance.

"My bloodline is weak, so it took some effort. Fortunately it succeeded in the end! Now I have more confidence to contest the Star-Moon Inheritance!" Mo Tianheng explains to Ye Liuyun.

"Star-Moon Inheritance?" Ye Liuyun asks, puzzled.

"Among the five great inheritances, this is the strongest; it's said that the recipient can wield the power of stars and moon!" Mo Tianheng, in good spirits, chats with Ye Liuyun.

Just as they are engrossed, the Nine Heavens War God Crocodragon guarding Ye Liuyun suddenly warns him: "Kid, does that little girl hold a grudge against you? She seems intent on killing you."

The Crocodragon points to Lie Hongxia.

Lie Hongxia has now chosen a Demon Beast, which can also breathe fire.
