Chapter 1015: The Hundred Victories King's Remain (First update, requesting everything)

"Everyone, keep your spirits up! As long as we hold on a little longer, the obstacle before us will surely be broken!"

Seeing his Demon Pets showing signs of fatigue, Li Zhangsheng encouraged their morale while attacking with all his might.

On the other side, Ning Bizhen was doing the same.

Under the encouragement of the two, the Demon Pets hurriedly braced themselves and restored their previous attack intensity.

Li Zhangsheng knew very well that such a situation could not last long; they had to break the Treasure Vat in one go.

In this situation, Li Zhangsheng began to multitask, simultaneously unleashing the attack methods of the Giant and raising the Sun Moon Shuttle Heavy Light Wheel, from which a gold and silver beam of light gushed out, rushing toward the earthy-yellow light screen.

However, because of this, the consumption rate of Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power also increased sharply; even with the Nine Apertures Dingyuan Pearl to restore his Mental Power, he could likely only maintain it for three or four minutes.

However, this amount of time was enough.

Pop—

After more than two minutes, through their concerted efforts, the earthy-yellow light screen wrapping the Treasure Vat finally could not hold on; after flickering violently a few times, it slowly disappeared.

The moment the energy barrier vanished, many Demon Pets felt their legs go weak and collapsed onto the ground, looking exhausted, their tongues lolling out as they panted heavily without regard for their image.

After the earthy-yellow light screen disappeared, just as Li Zhangsheng had expected, inside was indeed a human remain.

Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen stood together, neither relaxing their guard; who knew if the Hundred Victories King had set up some sort of Possession plan before falling.

There was no helping it; looking at the few Kings he had encountered, Flame King Di Zhiyi wanted to possess Liu Xudong, Spirit King Liu Yongtu possessed Liu Xuguang, and the Treasure King seemed to have taken an unconventional path, but in reality, to take the Treasure Basin a step further, he did not know how many people had been harmed.

It was not that Li Zhangsheng had bad luck; it mainly fulfilled the saying that the longer one lives, the more one fears death.

These Kings were all high and powerful during their lifetimes, turning their hands to create clouds and covering them to create rain, accustomed to the good life of "sleeping drunk on a beauty's lap, waking to hold the power of the world." Many thought about extending this life before their time was up; perhaps the Hundred Victories King would also pull such a stunt.

It must be said that the moment the earthy-yellow light screen shattered, the Seeking Dao Jade Pendant in Li Zhangsheng's Consciousness Sea seemed to sense a peer and began to tremble violently.

If there were no surprises, the last Treasure Vat must contain a Seeking Dao Jade Fragment.

Even so, Li Zhangsheng still suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to remain on guard.

Soon, five minutes passed.

Seeing that the Demon Pets had recovered their state, Li Zhangsheng sat cross-legged on the Nine-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform, with the Hunyuan Golden Lamp above his head, holding the Qiankun Immeasurable Bell in his hand, the Gate of Light and Darkness flickering with brilliance, the Original Light floating up and down, and the Sun Moon Shuttle Heavy Light Wheel spinning around; he was cautious to the extreme before slowly floating toward the remain in the Treasure Vat.

This remain gave one the feeling that it had just died; neither the skin nor the hair showed any signs of decay.

Li Zhangsheng had seen the portrait of the Hundred Victories King and instantly recognized that this was indeed the remain of the Hundred Victories King.

Even after a hundred years, the Hundred Victories King's remain was still intact; this was not because the Hundred Victories King used some miraculous method to preserve the corpse from decay, but mainly due to the special nature of a Double-Character King.

Kings forge Jade Bone, and Double-Character Kings fuse a Golden Body, commonly known as Golden Body Jade Bone; let alone a mere hundred years, even after a thousand years, it would likely still look like this.

Any longer would not work, because only the remains of Emperors and the Emperor Rank can fear no passage of time, remaining preserved even after tens of millions of years.

Li Zhangsheng did not act immediately but observed for a long while; upon confirming that the Hundred Victories King had not left any contingency plans, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no helping it; the Hundred Victories King was simply too brilliant and talented. If this fellow had truly studied the secret art of Possession, it was entirely possible he could have taken an unconventional path to possess a King.

The Hundred Victories King's remain was dressed in a Xuanhuang Robe, wearing a Golden Crown draped with a Five-Colored Tassel, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, his face stern, sitting cross-legged in the Treasure Vat in a five-hearts-to-the-sky position, with a Jade Bottle placed by his left hand and a token in his right.

Besides this, there was also a Talisman faintly emitting a golden glow.

At the first moment, Li Zhangsheng bowed respectfully; although he had no relationship with the Hundred Victories King, he had ultimately obtained his inheritance, effectively holding the status of a successor.

"Senior, forgive me!"

After paying his respects, Li Zhangsheng extended his right hand and placed it on the golden Talisman.

The moment he made contact with the Talisman, the golden Talisman immediately shone brightly, and Li Zhangsheng felt his head swell slightly as a massive amount of knowledge poured into his mind.

It was no surprise to Li Zhangsheng that the Talisman sealed the memory inheritance of the Hundred Victories King.

These memories were as vast as the sea and clearly layered, without any sense of disorder.

Clearly, the Hundred Victories King had specifically organized these memories, and there were no useless memories regarding eating, drinking, or other trivialities.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng opened his eyes again.

The memory inheritance of the Hundred Victories King lasted only a few breaths in total.

Ning Bizhen, who was guarding Li Zhangsheng from the side, hurriedly asked with concern, "Changsheng, was there anything unusual?"

"Very good!"

Li Zhangsheng rubbed his still-swelling head; although he had not yet digested these memories, in the final inheritance, the Hundred Victories King had also passed on the scene before his fall.

"Bizhen, allow me to digest this for a moment!"

After saying this, Li Zhangsheng appeared as if he were asleep, immersing his mind in the memories of the Hundred Victories King.

Other knowledge-based memories could be digested slowly later, but for Li Zhangsheng to say he was not curious about the truth of the Hundred Victories King's fall would be a lie.

In the final inherited memory, the first thing was a sentence that left a deep impression on Li Zhangsheng.

The Emperor position is numbered; nine is the ultimate!

The volume of this world could only accommodate a total of nine Ninth-Rank Demon Tamers; even if a Double-Character King met the other conditions, if the Emperor position was not yet vacant, they still could not ascend.

To accommodate more Ninth-Rank Demon Tamers, this world must ascend, or this heaven and earth must be perfected, though the difficulty was not ordinary.

"The Three Sovereigns and Six Emperors still exist, but it is rumored that the Human Emperor's lifespan is nearing its end, though no one knows how many years are left."

Li Zhangsheng thought of the current situation, and his heart sank; currently, the nine Emperor positions were already occupied, and he did not know how long it would take for an Emperor position to become vacant.

The Human Emperor's lifespan seemed to be nearing its end, but this was based on a lifespan of ten thousand years; it could be a few years, a few decades, or even a hundred years.

From the memories of the Hundred Victories King, after the Hundred Victories King met the other conditions for advancement, he had waited bitterly for decades before an Emperor position became vacant.

Generally speaking, the Hundred Victories King would have automatically obtained the Emperor position.

Unfortunately, the Hundred Victories King's luck was poor, because Yan Zhongshu, the Xuan Emperor who had not yet attained the Dao at that time, also met the conditions for advancement.

Thus, a dispute over the Emperor position unfolded.
