The entire cave was trembling.

Meanwhile, above the Ashen Zone, thunderclouds gathered densely. The thunderclouds morphed into a tornado, pouring into the cave, pouring into Chen Lan's body.

All the Spiritual Qi and energy within a hundred million miles were being continuously absorbed by Chen Lan.

Chen Lan was forcefully seizing Spiritual Qi with a domineering stance, even stripping the energy from Spirit Medicine, Spiritual Insects, and Demon Beasts. It was incredibly domineering!

Outside the Land of Inheritance, the Golden-winged Roc watched the movement on the combat power ladder and felt the tremors of the cave, involuntarily swallowing hard.

"Master is truly outrageous, causing such a big commotion." It felt fortunate that it had surrendered early and joined Chen Lan.

Otherwise, it would be dead. Following Chen Lan, perhaps it could explore the mysteries of the Great Dao.

"Golden-winged Roc, why are you here?!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out. The Golden-winged Roc was startled, turned around, and its face immediately turned gloomy.

A man and a woman stood behind it, the newcomers were a Daoist Venerable and an unparalleled Great Emperor.

The woman was someone it recognized, a Daoist Venerable from the Ten Thousand Poison Python clan, known as the [Snake Woman], with terrifying power and skilled in the Poison Dao, but she wasn't as formidable as that human.

"Snake Woman, why are you here, are you also here for the Nine Nether Underworld Fire?" The Golden-winged Roc frowned and spoke. Now it was heavily injured, not fully recovered, and probably couldn't defeat the Snake Woman.

Moreover, the person beside looked very unusual, somewhat familiar, but it couldn't recall who it was.

"Of course, I just sensed the cave's tremor; has someone already gone inside to seize the Nine Nether Underworld Fire?" the Snake Woman said in a deep voice.

If someone got there first, that would be troublesome.

The man beside heard this and immediately looked at the entrance above the combat power ladder, speaking coldly, "I, Flame Child, will definitely not allow the Nine Nether Underworld Fire to be handed over!"

Upon hearing this, the Golden-winged Roc looked at the man in shock: "You're Flame Child! No wonder you seemed so familiar."

Flame Child, it was rumored that at birth, he was surrounded by fiery flames, burned for seven days and nights, and did not die. Instead, he cultivated the Flame Saint Body, from then on, commanding all the flames in the world.

It was said his understanding of the Dao of Fire had already neared perfection, coming this time to seize the Nine Nether Underworld Fire, intending to devour it and thus ascend to the full Dao of Fire?

If he achieved perfection, he would gain the strength to contend with the Daoist Venerable.

"My master is comprehending the inheritance inside, no one is allowed to enter." The Golden-winged Roc spoke coldly, standing firmly in front of the two, with eyes filled with determination.

"Golden-winged Roc, you actually have a master?" The Snake Woman felt incredulous.

Since when did the dignified Daoist Venerable of the Demon Race have a master?

It was utterly absurd and laughable to say that such an exalted being had become someone else's servant.

"No matter who it is, they cannot stop me." Flame Child said coldly, looking at the Snake Woman, "Let's kill through."

"Heh, sorry, Golden-winged Roc, Flame Child offered too much, so I can only reluctantly kill you." The Snake Woman laughed, she had heard the Golden-winged Roc was heavily injured and now wasn't her match at all.

The human and the demon charged out violently, the Golden-winged Roc gritting its teeth, no matter what, it must guard here and ensure its master successfully obtains the inheritance.

...

"The Overbearing Technique is indeed incredibly domineering, my Spiritual Qi has once again transformed, becoming innate chaotic domineering Qi!"

Chen Lan looked at the dark Spiritual Qi within his Dantian, those unaware might think it was Demonic Qi or Ghost Qi, but in fact, it was a mixture of three kinds of Spiritual Qi.

[Since you have comprehended the Overbearing Technique, I will now pass on the next, the Supreme Pill Scripture.]

After speaking, the Soul Body in the sea of consciousness pointed a finger, and a white stream of light entered Chen Lan's mind.

The Supreme Pill Scripture recorded all the Spirit Medicine, Spirit Grass, Spiritual Insect, and Elixir seen from the Ancient Pill Emperor's birth till now, and over ten thousand elixir refining methods instantly etched into Chen Lan's mind.

"Thank you, Senior!" Chen Lan immediately cupped his fists and bowed in gratitude.

This was simply a great gift from heaven, he saw many elixirs he had never known, all extremely magical, yet the other party imparted them without reservation, this favor was too heavy.

[No problem, you arriving here makes you the best successor, and there is one last thing, my best treasure, the Nine Dragon Cauldron, a Chaos Treasure, which has accompanied me throughout my life, today I hand it over to you, hoping you can continue to exert its power.]

Finishing, a cauldron flew out, landing in Chen Lan's hands, the entire cauldron was golden, with nine dragon heads facing in nine different directions, extremely domineering and cool.

"Thank you, senior, I will certainly not let it gather dust." Chen Lan tucked away the cauldron, cupping his fists in gratitude.

This favor, too heavy.

[No problem, I wish we may meet again.]

With that, the Soul Body slowly dissipated.

Chen Lan was slightly stunned, it seemed the Ancient Pill Emperor hadn't died and should be in the Desolate Celestial Realm.

At this point, Chen Lan awakened from the inheritance, Nine Nether smiled, standing in front of him, and said: "So, was the inheritance wonderful?"

"Mm, it greatly improved my strength." Chen Lan nodded, remembered something and continued to ask: "But senior, what did you mean by the many karmic ties you mentioned earlier?"

He had checked with his Celestial Eye before and found no karmic lines, so why did Nine Nether say he was shrouded in many karmic ties?

"Ah, this, I have a special ability to burn others' Souls and also see the karmic connections of all things from the Soul, like you are the one with the most karmic lines I've ever seen. In my eyes, you're like wrapped in a spider web, surrounded by karmic lines."

Hearing this, Chen Lan slightly frowned, why couldn't he see them, but others could?

"What's wrong?" Nine Nether saw Chen Lan frown and asked in confusion.

"Nothing, just found it strange, I have a Divine Technique that can see the karmic lines of all things, except I can't see mine, I thought I didn't have karmic lines."

"You overthink, everything has karma, some have few but never none, the moment there are no karmic lines, one is already beyond the Ten Thousand Realms, mastering the Great Dao of all heavens, can't be considered a living being, that belongs to the cosmos' unknown god."

Chen Lan said nothing, although that's so, why couldn't he see his karmic lines?

"Maybe you not seeing your karmic lines is due to something happening to your body or an issue with that Divine Technique, in my eyes, your karmic lines are the most I've ever seen."

"Alright then, thanks for clearing my doubts, senior."

"No problem, soon I won't be your senior anymore." Nine Nether Great Emperor smiled and slowly dissipated, returning to the previous state of the Underworld Fire.

[Relax your body and mind, I will merge with you.]

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan was stunned, then asked: "Could it be that you will completely dissipate soon and become a part of me, senior?"

[Yes, that is the nature of inheritance, besides, I've lived long enough, life without a master is extremely boring.]

Chen Lan fell silent, to be honest, he didn't quite want it this way, it was like a living being turning into a part of him.

But before he could react, Nine Nether Underworld Fire entered his body, beginning to merge with him.

Seeing this, Chen Lan helplessly sat cross-legged and began to refine it.

Meanwhile, outside, the battle was already in full swing.
