If it didn’t, then all his nightmare-difficulty trials had been for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked away, and finally, after two hours, a prompt appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Special Mission: Choice】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Difficulty Level: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mission Brief: Deliver the 【World Tree Ring】 to the Lunhuileyuan .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mission Details: None\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mission Deadline: Five minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mission Reward: A legacy with extremely high compatibility to the Hunter’s innate talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile appeared on Su Xiao’s face—his Hunter status was more valuable than he’d imagined; the Lunhuileyuan  had actually issued a mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s thought, Su Xiao accepted the mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the cold, heartless Lunhuileyuan , he had no certainty—he still needed to survive within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Special Mission: Choice, completed.

This reward must be significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after the Lunhuileyuan ’s prompt, a beam of light appeared in the room, enveloping Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao sat motionless, staring straight ahead, eyes unfocused, occasional flashes of blue light flickering within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Su Xiao’s consciousness had arrived in a vast, boundless hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall was impossibly enormous, its edges invisible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao scanned the surroundings and saw six stone statues, each over a hundred meters tall—humanoid figures, magnified many times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heir… come forward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A solemn voice echoed; Su Xiao tensed—this voice came from one of the stone statues before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The pact made long ago has reached its time for fulfillment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another statue spoke; Su Xiao’s arrival triggered a chain reaction—all six statues began speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are the final heir. Our legacies end here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether we vanish into the river of time, or whether the spellcasters do—this is your trial.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spellcasters disrupt the balance of world and matter; their so-called magic consumes the power of rules.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Foolish spellcasters—even if our bodies are destroyed, our consciousness endures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao stood still, his scalp prickling—these speaking statues were far stronger than he could imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And these statues were not living beings, merely the lingering consciousnesses of immensely powerful entities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Destruction, birth, annihilation, revival—all occur within this Sacred Place of Origin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heir, remember the name we share: we are the Shadows of Law Annihilation, the natural enemies of all spellcasters!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All six statues opened their eyes and fixed their gaze on Su Xiao; he felt a violent surge of energy flood into his body, followed by dizziness and a ringing in his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huff… huff… huff~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao awoke in the room, gasping for breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still in his private room; the previous scene felt like a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Reward complete.
