Chapter 369: How Is This Still Fightable?

"I have returned!"

Looking at the long-dilapidated old house before him, Yu Renqing knelt in the courtyard with a face full of sorrow. This was once the root of their Yu Family; the secret of the Yu Family was hidden right here.

"Father, Mother, I have avenged our family. Rest assured, from this day forward, no one will ever be able to bully us again!"

Taking a deep breath, Yu Renqing kowtowed heavily several times, then strode further inside, stopping within a small, exquisite garden.

Carefully observing his surroundings once more to ensure there was truly no one around, he then stepped forward and cautiously moved the rockery standing in the garden.

Afterwards, Yu Renqing began to dig downward along the original position of the rockery. He did not know how long he had been digging or how deep the hole had become, but he finally struck a large chest.

At this moment, a joyful smile appeared on Yu Renqing's face. The secret his father told him before he died was indeed true; something was really hidden here!

Carefully moving the chest out of the hole he had dug, he opened it and took out the object locked by heavy chains inside: it was a Stone Box.

It was not only locked by specially crafted chains but also sealed by heavy Runes, as if they were afraid that the thing inside might escape.

"Found it, finally found it. Father, rest assured, the Yu Family will flourish in my hands. From now on, no one can threaten our family again!"

Carefully severing the chains on the Stone Box one by one, Yu Renqing prepared to open the Stone Box with some trepidation.

This Stone Box was precisely the root cause for which those people had gone to such lengths to frame and slaughter their Yu Family. There had actually always been rumors in the streets that their Yu Family possessed an Inherited Treasure.

This treasure was immensely powerful; obtaining it would allow one to awe the world, and none under heaven would dare disobey.

Many people had heard this rumor, but they thought it was just a legend, something the Yu Family members had bragged about in the past, mere nonsense to fool people.

Similar tall tales existed everywhere in the world, and very few people believed them.

After all, the current state of the Yu Family was plain to see; if they had such a good thing, would they have fallen into such a state?

However, there is always a group of people in this world who will believe in such ethereal things and believe that the Yu Family possessed such a treasure.

Perhaps because of the Spiritual Qi Surge, some people became afraid; they sensed danger and desperately wanted to find anything they could rely on for protection.

They possessed power and status, and the more they had, the more they feared death. Therefore, even if it were just a legend, they would try every possible means to find it.

Unfortunately, in the end, the entire Yu Family was killed, and they had not found anything. Even at the very end, the Yu Family had not brought out that so-called treasure.

Perhaps it was just a legend after all, leaving them with nothing but a wasted expectation.

As for the innocent Yu Family members who were killed, they were dead, and who would care about the lives of these ants? They hadn't found the item, and they were still feeling resentful themselves.

But they did not know that these things about the Yu Family were never just legends; their Yu Family truly had a good thing, a good thing that could make one's strength skyrocket.

It was just that his father told him before he died that even if everyone in the family died, he must never bring this thing out.

His father was pedantic, but he himself was not. As long as he could become strong, what did it matter if he fell into the abyss?

This world has always been a world of the strong. As long as he is strong enough, even if he is black, there will be countless people finding countless reasons to help him whitewash it.

As long as he can reach the peak, he will be the rules, he will be justice!

Taking a deep breath, Yu Renqing violently opened the Stone Box, wanting to see what exactly was inside.

When the Stone Box was opened, a strand of Black Mist surged into Yu Renqing's body, entrenched itself within his Spiritual Sea, and rapidly merged completely with his spirit.

The moment the Black Mist surged into his body, the Sword Intent belonging to Mu Zishan that had been lurking in his body suddenly reacted, as if it had shone with brilliant light in an instant.

For a moment, Yu Renqing felt as if he were about to be torn apart. Only at this moment could he feel how terrifying this Sword Intent within his body was; it was a realm beyond reach.

The Sword Intent trembled, seemingly wanting to easily split this newly appeared Black Mist apart.

Fortunately, this Sword Intent had been instilled into his body for some time, and Yu Renqing could influence it to some small degree.

He did his best to suppress the eruption of the Sword Intent. At the same time, the Black Mist that had surged into his body also seemed to sense danger and quickly merged with Yu Renqing's Spiritual Sea, becoming completely inseparable from that point on.

It was also at this moment that countless pieces of information surged into his mind, making Yu Renqing feel as if his head were splitting with pain.

At the same time, the Sword Intent hidden in his body lost its target and gradually stopped trembling.

"So that's how it is. No wonder Father was so tight-lipped. Yes, who could resist such temptation!"

Not knowing how much time had passed, Yu Renqing fully digested the information that had appeared in his mind, and a trace of coldness appeared on his face.

When this Black Mist completely merged with him, he finally understood why his father and his ancestors had never used this strange treasure.

No, to be precise, this was not a strange treasure, but a Cultivation Method, a terrifying Cultivation Method that could allow him to rapidly improve himself.

It could easily devour the blood and energy of others, devouring the essence and spirit of others for his own use.

What was even more terrifying was that this Cultivation Method had no restrictions; as long as one kept killing, killing, and killing, one could keep improving.

And the further one went, the easier it became; one could even devour countless people in a single breath.

This Cultivation Method was created by a genius who had amazed the world back then, who had a sudden inspiration and used those old monsters as a template, finally succeeding after decades of exploration.

That genius had experienced the final moments of the Great Contention Era and had seen those old monsters crazily slaughtering and devouring ordinary people, a sight he could never forget.

After the Spiritual Qi Surge and the end of the Great Contention Era, he survived by luck, but the scenes of those old monsters devouring ordinary people kept emerging in his mind, lingering like a nightmare.

Moreover, this brilliant genius did not use his talent for the right path; instead, he went further and further down the path of taking shortcuts.

Later, this genius used his memories from those years as a foundation and kept exploring until he finally had this set of Cultivation Method. However, he never dared to use it, because once used, he would become a public enemy.

But a genius would eventually grow old, and life would come to an end. At this time, he had no more scruples and began to bare his fangs.

Devouring a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand people, his strength skyrocketed in a short time to the point where almost no one could rival him.

Unfortunately, there was a genius in the same era who was so amazing that the world admired him; he happened to be near where he was killing, and the two encountered each other shortly after he began killing.

In the end, that genius sacrificed himself to kill him. However, before he died, the other party's inheritance was left behind.

This inheritance was obtained by the Yu Family ancestors at the time, who sealed it into the Stone Box and buried it deep underground, hoping it would never see the light of day.

One must know that that genius was almost invincible in the world just after he started hunting for a short while. If he had continued, devouring tens of millions or hundreds of millions of people, it was unknown how terrifying he would have become.

Having obtained such an inheritance, he already had the capital to be proud, plus the Sword Intent of Mu Zishan hidden in his body.

For a moment, ambition, desire, and heavy emotions surged into his heart. The future would inevitably be his!

As for killing, hehe, in order to climb to the peak, who in the world cannot be killed?

To kill one is a crime, to kill ten thousand is a hero, to kill ten million, I am the hero among heroes!
