"Even this is too terrifying!"
At this moment, the sect leaders present were incredibly shocked, staring blankly at Bai Yan.
If it weren't for the Destiny Treasure horsetail whisk of the Immortal Island Elder resisting some of the Sword Rampage, he would likely be a corpse by now!
That horsetail whisk, a Peerless Magic Treasure refined with Level 1 Divine Power for a thousand years, hard as metal and stone, crumbled to nothing before Bai Yan's usual confrontation, defeated in a single move.
Bai Yan ignored those shocked Sect Leaders and suddenly turned his gaze to the Immortal Island Elder, a hint of murderous intent surfacing in his eyes.
He knew that the terrifying existence mentioned by the Immortal Island Elder was probably his past life, or someone with an extremely close relationship to his past life.
If the news of his peerless ancestral legacy was exposed, this secret once released, he would certainly be coveted by countless people.
An innocent man incurs no blame, but a man with a treasure invites trouble. Bai Yan understood this principle well.
"Unexpectedly, that formidable figure actually left a legacy; I must inform the Sect Leader about this matter."
The Immortal Island Elder made up his mind. Then he kept retreating, constantly looking for an opportunity to escape.
After witnessing Bai Yan's earth-shattering sword, the Immortal Island Elder lost all will to fight. He knew he was no match for Bai Yan, and continuing the fight would only amount to seeking death.
"Does this sword skill of mine catch your eye?"
Bai Yan, holding the Demon Dragon Pattern Longsword, slowly approached the Immortal Island Elder, a cold smile on his face.
"I..."
The Immortal Island Elder was at a loss for words. That was the legacy of a supreme being. If I dare say a word against it, I might even be punished by the will of the Main Plane.
Even the core cultivation technique of Immortal Island would pale in comparison to this legacy.
"Did you get a good look just now?"
Bai Yan, sword in hand, asked again.
"I did, I did."
The Immortal Island Elder's face was covered in cold sweat as he quickly replied.
"Since you have seen it well, then go to your death!"
Bai Yan casually unleashed a chilling Sword Rampage. It seemed as if defeating Level 1 Divine Power was for him a trivial matter.
"Blood Escape Technique!"
The Immortal Island Elder didn't expect Bai Yan to dare to take the risk of offending Immortal Island and kill him.
In a moment of extreme crisis, the Immortal Island Elder used a secret technique, his body transforming into a cloud of Blood Mist to dodge the Sword Rampage, and then he fled far away without looking back.
The Blood Escape Technique used by the Immortal Island Elder was different from that of the Blood Clan, a secret technique with a grievous cost but equally powerful for preserving one's life, and it was a core secret of a First-class Sect.
"Alas, what a pity I couldn't kill him."
Bai Yan watched the Immortal Island Elder disappear into the horizon in the blink of an eye and couldn't help but sigh.
He knew he couldn't catch up with the Immortal Island Elder who had used the secret technique to escape and could only give up.
"Truly a Wild Man, daring even to strike at the Immortal Island Elder!"
"He's a madman, we'd better steer clear of him in the future."
...
Watching the Immortal Island Elder flee in distress, these Sect Leaders trembled in their hearts, their gaze at Bai Yan filled with a hint of fear.
Even the Immortal Island Elder had been forced to use a secret technique to escape; how could they, the leaders of second and third-rate sects, possibly stand against Bai Yan.
"The Divine Bloodline is still here; do you people still want to fight over it?"
Bai Yan turned to look at the Sect Leaders.
Only then did these Sect Leaders realize that Bai Yan was holding them to account, especially since they were the ones most eager to compete at the beginning.
"Congratulations to Lord Bai Yan on acquiring the Divine Bloodline."
Li Fenghou, the Sect Leader of the Ghost Sect, was the first to cup his fists and congratulate Bai Yan.
"Congratulations to Lord Bai Yan on acquiring the Divine Bloodline."
Seeing this, the other Sect Leaders followed suit.
"You have three days to deliver your Sect's core cultivation techniques to Dragon Sect. It's best not to make me personally come to collect them!"
Bai Yan coldly reprimanded the Sect Leaders, then led Xiu Ruisi back to Demon Island.
After Bai Yan left, the Sect Leaders present let out a collective sigh of relief, only then realizing they had been scared into a cold sweat.
"Alas, if I had known, I would not have meddled in these troubled waters."
An elder lowered his head and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
It was a case of trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice; they failed to snatch the Divine Bloodline and instead had to compensate with their cultivation techniques.
"Is it really necessary for all Sect Leaders to hand over their core cultivation techniques?"
An elder suddenly asked.
The gathered Sect Leaders looked at each other, all discerning the answer from their counterparts' helpless smiles.
Who would dare not to deliver?
Would one really wait for that Wild Man to come knocking?
That Wild Man fears not even Immortal Island; what on earth is there he wouldn't dare to do?
Now, the only worry was how to gracefully and honorably send off the cultivation techniques.
This was the issue pondered by all Sect Leaders in their hearts.
...
Huaxia Sea, Immortal Island.
"Quick, the junior brother has returned."
The Immortal Island Elders, who were guarding the edge of the seal, saw the blood light appearing on the horizon and cooperatively opened a gap in the seal, allowing the Immortal Island Elder to fly in.
"Didn't I send you to attract the bearer of the Divine Bloodline? How did you end up in such a state?"
The Immortal Island Master immediately darkened in expression upon seeing the Immortal Island Elder whose cultivation had fallen to weak Divine Power.
"Sect Master, please allow me to explain. I had indeed found the bearer of the Divine Bloodline, but then an assailant with weak Divine Power, a Wild Man, grievously wounded me,"
The Immortal Island Elder hurriedly explained.
"Hmph, a modern Abnormal with weak Divine Power managed to injure you beyond your rank? Is he too strong, or are you too weak?"
The Immortal Island Master's face grew increasingly icy. Regardless of the elder's excuses, severe punishment was inevitable today!
He was being treated like a fool to be deceived.
As an elder of a First-class Sect, possessing immense power, lofty status, and countless secret techniques, how could he be so embarrassingly defeated by an Abnormal one rank below him, nearly losing his life?
This was a terrible loss of face for Immortal Island!
"Sect Master, that Wild Man has a mysterious inheritance in his possession, and it's the inheritance of that supreme entity from ten thousand years ago! Otherwise, I wouldn't have risked lowering my cultivation level to use the Blood Escape Technique!"
The Immortal Island Elder was close to tears. Although the situation sounded fantastical, this was the truth.
Why would no one believe him?
"Supreme entity's inheritance? Tell me, which terrifying inheritance possesses such formidable power, capable of challenging beyond its rank."
"It's that one, the one we've worshipped for ten thousand years!"
The Immortal Island Elder pointed above, speaking with a pale face and cautious tone.
"You must realize how grave this matter is. If you dare to jest about this, I will refine your soul!"
The Immortal Island Master felt a jolt in his heart and instantly grabbed the Immortal Island Elder's collar, staring fixedly into his eyes.
There were countless formidable beings from ten thousand years ago, but only one has been worshipped by Immortal Island for ten thousand years!
All sects in the Main Plane may neglect to worship their founding patriarchs, but they must worship that fearsome entity.
It could be said that he is the faith of these ancient sects!
If these individuals are the gods and legends worshipped and passed down in the Mortal World, then this supreme entity is the divinity that must be revered and believed by all!
"It is absolutely true! This arm of mine was severed by that Sword Skill."
The Immortal Island Elder quickly nodded in response.
"How much longer before the seal can be broken?"
The Immortal Island Master, with a grim face, turned and asked the other elders.
"Replying to the Sect Master, the seal can be broken in three months at the earliest or half a year at the latest,"
An elder stepped forward to answer.
"I do not care what it costs, the seal must be opened within a month, or failure will be met with death!"
"Sect Master, are we just abandoning the Divine Bloodline?"
The injured Immortal Island Elder asked unwillingly, still hoping Immortal Island would help him regain his dignity.
"Compared to that inheritance, what is the Divine Bloodline?"
The Immortal Island Master said without turning his head: "That Wild Man must have fortuitously obtained the inheritance of that supreme existence! Nonetheless, it's good, as it confirms that the supreme entity indeed left their inheritance on this very planet!"
"I will kill that Wild Man thief and reclaim the inheritance left for us by the supreme existence! It belongs to our Immortal Island!"
The voice of the Immortal Island Master was filled with a sinister dread.
Once Immortal Island obtains the inheritance of that terrifyingly powerful being, even deities revered by all living beings would meet their end here!
