Pei Haoran's words were swift and harsh, with a look of anger mixed with a hint of grievance on his face.

This is pure bullying!

All this talk about not trusting the Dragon Turtle and worrying about traps—it's all just an excuse!

These two clearly don't want to take action themselves and are trying to pin this blame on him—why should he take it?

"Hahaha, how interesting! I've wandered the Nether Sea for many years and have witnessed countless betrayals; even Dao Companions, blood brothers, and father and son cannot be trusted. Yet, I didn't expect to meet such interesting people like you. Is this what friends are? Fascinating, truly fascinating!"

Watching Pei Haoran silently for a moment, Yang Hong suddenly burst into laughter and said, "You're right, I'm quitting too!"

"???"

Hearing Yang Hong's words, it was Pei Haoran's turn to be dumbfounded!

He had just refused, already prepared to die, thinking he might live a few days less if the Daluo Demon Hand wasn't resolved, but to be killed was no big deal.

But who would've thought, Yang Hong also quit!

"Are you insane?"

Hearing Yang Hong's words, the Dragon Turtle couldn't help but roar: "You're the inheritor of the Heaven-Encompassing Demon God, and yet you're so indecisive?! Missing this opportunity means you'll never find a better Main Soul in your life!"

"And do you think he will spare you after obtaining the Dragon Palace's inheritance?!"

"I swear, once he succeeds, he will definitely kill you both. At that time, I will personally obliterate all of you!!!"

As the inheritor of the Heaven-Encompassing Demon God, Yang Hong himself was a person of decisive nature.

He was indeed hesitant for a moment, but once he made a choice, he would not be easily swayed by anyone.

Moreover, who could guarantee that attacking the Crystal Dragon Wall was not a trap?

Shrugging his shoulders, Yang Hong turned to the Maiden of the Sea and pointed at the Crystal Dragon Wall, "I may not have a chance, but... would you like to give it a try? It was agreed before; the gains in the Water Mansion belong to you and Ye Piaoling!"

Before entering the Dragon Palace, no one knew this wasn't an ordinary Water Mansion but an Ancient Ruin. Now, Yang Hong using the term 'Water Mansion' again signaled his intention to abide by the previous agreement.

"No need!"

With a touch of indifference on her face, the Maiden of the Sea said calmly, "I will not put my life in anyone else's hands!"

If she wasn't aware of the dangers of entering the Crystal Dragon Wall, the Maiden of the Sea naturally wouldn't give up easily. But now, with Yang Hong and Pei Haoran on the side, how could she not be cautious?

"You will regret this, I swear, you all will regret this!"

Seeing that all three had given up, the Dragon Turtle's voice was filled with spite.

In the inner hall, the aura of the Dragon Turtle exploded violently, letting out a furious roar, and countless golden chains appeared on its body again. As it struggled, the chains embedded into its flesh, carving out gruesome marks.

With no one else to rely on, it had to fight for itself!

To break through the Restriction before Wang Junze received the inheritance—this was its last hope.

Otherwise, once the Dragon Palace recognized its master, all the Restrictions would be under Wang Junze's control, leaving it with no chance of rising, doomed to eternal servitude.

For a Saint Realm Demon King like itself, how could it tolerate acknowledging a humble human as its master? Such pests should be crushed and devoured!

....

A golden Sword Aura suddenly tore through the sea, revealing a brilliant glow.

"Success!"

A glint of excitement flashed in Wang Junze's eyes as he sheathed his sword, softly murmuring, "Cloud Dragon's Claw... let's name this sword move Cloud Dragon's Claw!"

Previously, whether it was the Profound Moon Sword Technique, Yu Luo, or Chess Swordsmanship, all were sword techniques Wang Junze had learned. But now, this sword move was entirely self-created through insights gained from observing the Golden Dragon!

In terms of power, this sword style cannot compare to the likes of Strangulation, but its significance far surpasses the mastery of Chess Swordsmanship's techniques.

To put it bluntly, from the moment he grasped this sword move, Wang Junze truly embarked on a path to his own Sword Dao.

This innovation, in fact, is even more crucial than realizing the Water Sword Intent!

The truth is, Wang Junze was unaware that the former Master of the Dragon Palace was a once-in-a-millennium unparalleled genius. Although a member of the Dragon Race, his understanding of the Great Path was utterly different from the typical dragons, as if he forged his own path based solely on his abilities!

If it weren't for that catastrophic ancient calamity, perhaps he might have truly broken free from the shackles of the Dragon Race and achieved Divine Spirituality!

And the Crystal Dragon Wall he left behind is the result of his life's efforts!

Precisely because of this, the Dragon Palace's inheritance does not restrict the Dragon Race, common Demon Race, or even Human Race, for it is a fundamentally different Great Path.

Wang Junze, being a Sword Cultivator, was able to derive insights into Sword Dao, while others could perceive entirely different Great Paths.

Because the heritage he left was not fixed; it was an exposition of the essence of the Great Path!

Of course, this equally requires the inheritor to have a high degree of talent and comprehension, or else, even spending thousands or tens of thousands of years here could yield nothing.

To him, it was better for the inheritance to remain forever undiscovered than for any trivial person to acquire it by mere luck.

Although Wang Junze was unaware of these details, he naturally absorbed this heritage through his exceptional Sword Dao talent.

Taking a step forward, Wang Junze wielded his sword once more to attack the Golden Dragon in the air!

For Wang Junze, his aim was not to defeat this terrifying Golden Dragon but to realize and verify his learned and thought Sword Dao through continuous combat with it.

With each battle, each realization and testing, Wang Junze had long forgotten the passage of time in this process.

The second move, the third... the ninth!

Wang Junze pursued his cultivation tirelessly until he finally devised the ninth sword, only then did he feel a hint of fatigue!

It's not that he wanted to stop but reaching this level of realization was Wang Junze's perceptual limit.

No matter how profound and powerful the inheritance left by the Dragon Palace's master might be, Wang Junze, after all, was mainly at the level of Void Shattering. Even with his extreme efforts, he couldn't immediately achieve the path, or even Enter the Saint Realm—such thoughts are unrealistic!

Yet even with this, it was already significantly beneficial for Wang Junze.

The Nine Swords were an ultimate comprehension of Sword Dao and techniques for Wang Junze at present, observed and realized from the Cloud Golden Dragon's movements and attack, combined with the essence of Chess Swordsmanship!

Someday, when he fully digests these realizations and perfectly integrates various Sword Intents into it, transforming it into his own complete Sword Dao, that will be his time to Enter the Path and become a Saint.

And now, Wang Junze could clearly sense that he could leave the space of the Crystal Dragon Wall at any moment...
