Chapter 1152 - 1150: You Are the Successor
"Just as I thought! Let’s go!"
Seeing such an anomaly from the Inheritance Saint Disk, Qi Hai couldn’t help shouting with excitement, completely forgetting about Zhu Tao’s earlier interference. The appearance of such a phenomenon indicated that the inheritor was within this forest, and not too far away. Although he didn’t know why they couldn’t detect it from outside the forest, he didn’t care anymore; he was solely focused on finding the inheritor.
After speaking, he waved his hand, ready to lead his two subordinates further into the forest, but just as they were about to make their move, a furious roar came through!
"Let’s see who dares to run wild!"
Old Monster suddenly appeared in front of Qi Hai and his two men, blocking their way and coldly stated, "I’d like to see who dares to run wild!" After speaking, he released his energy aura, and in an instant, an incredibly dense fiery red Gang Qi encircled the area, burning around Old Monster as if he were a fire god descending to the mortal realm, the strength of an Infinitesimal Realm master undisputed! He was genuinely surprised; he hadn’t expected someone to have made a move here, and not just any ordinary master at that. He wondered what exactly was going on?
At the same time, Nangong He also appeared beside Old Monster. Although he remained silent, his gaze was fixed on Qi Hai in the distance. His intuition told him that the middle-aged man in blue clothing was the real decision-maker. The two super masters standing beside him were merely subordinates. He felt puzzled as to why such individuals would venture here. Meanwhile, Zhu Tao and Leng Hao had also arrived at the side of Old Monster and Nangong He, both looking somewhat pale, having failed to stop the intruders.
"Is being a master of the Infinitesimal Realm that grand?" Qi Hai, upon seeing the red dragon of Gang Qi around Old Monster, spoke coldly, and then his aura burst forth. In almost an instant, a thick pale yellow Elemental Gang Qi exploded out from him, which also solidified, undoubtedly displaying his strength as a master of the Infinitesimal Realm as well.
"No matter who you are, leave this place immediately, or don’t blame me for being rude." Upon encountering another master of the Infinitesimal Realm, Old Monster’s expression changed. He hadn’t expected such a situation, but regardless of who it was, trespassing here was wrong and they must be driven away first.
"It’s impossible for me to leave. You’re not qualified enough to make that happen." Qi Hai retorted with pride upon facing Old Monster, firmly convinced that he wouldn’t leave without the inheritor.
"Then let’s fight!"
Hearing Qi Hai’s response, Old Monster was no longer courteous. After dropping a simple statement, he moved rapidly like a streak of fire towards Qi Hai, his speed beyond anyone’s imagination. With the Fire Element Gang Qi exploding around him in layers, he chose to strike directly.
In that moment, Old Monster became like a true god of fire, his presence incinerating everything his high-temperature path touched. The exceedingly dense Fire Element Gang Qi enveloped his fist, making it resemble a fire dragon’s head as it roared towards Qi Hai!
Old Monster had not held back at all with this attack, pouring his full strength into it with the aim of driving the intruder out of the forest, as Lin Feng had set up the Nine Profound Spirit Immortal Formation here which must remain secret from others.
Upon seeing Old Monster’s attack, Qi Hai smirked and charged at Old Monster. Qi Hai, in this moment, also revealed his true power. The pale yellow Gang Qi on him surged and in an instant became a suit of light gold armor affixed to his body, making him look like a War God incarnate.
At the same time, as Qi Hai threw a punch, the volume of air around them churned. His pale yellow Gang Qi covered his fist making it seem like a super heavy hammer bearing an immense pressure smashing towards Old Monster, even solidifying the surrounding air!
"Boom!"
When their fists collided, it shook the ground around them. In just a blink of an eye, a crater hundreds of meters wide formed under their feet where everything became void, and the force of the collision was so great that it turned the birds in the sky into a mist of blood.
Simultaneously, a wave of shock expanded at a terrifying speed in all directions, destroying any obstructions. The faces of the spectators turned pale as they circulately activated their Gang Qi to shield themselves, preventing injuries from the residual waves. The exchange between two masters of the Infinitesimal Realm was terrifying indeed!
In the meantime, the battle between Old Monster and Qi Hai did not cease; they turned into two flashes of red and yellow light, continuing the fight!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
Suddenly, the area became the battlefield for the two combatants, and what was once a lush forest vanished completely, replaced by successive giant craters. The land was as though it had been hit by a mega earthquake, reduced to a complete mess!
The faces of the spectators had changed; they had not anticipated that the battle between Old Monster and Qi Hai would be so fierce. They were merely spectators, and if it weren’t for their protective Gang Qi, they would likely have been injured by the aftermath. They thought to themselves that these two were too formidable, truly beyond belief!
But just when everyone was astoundingly surprised, another loud boom sounded.
"Boom!"
After the loud noise, two figures were seen retreating separately, only that the Old Monster retreated by more than a hundred meters, whereas Zhu Tao only retreated a few meters, clearly showing the disparity in their strengths.
"Who on earth are you! What are you doing here!" The Old Monster’s face darkened as he coldly asked, looking at Zhu Tao from a distance, not expecting to be at a loss against the opponent, and now wanting to know the opponent’s intentions.
"Now you’re willing to talk properly? To tell you the truth, we are from the Twin Saints Immortal Sect, and we are here looking for someone. If you don’t hand over our successor, the Sect will send even more formidable people here. No matter how strong you are, you won’t be able to stop us."
Looking at the Old Monster, Zhu Tao sneered, then spoke to the Old Monster, acknowledging that the opponent was indeed strong, but even if they were driven away, the Sect would still send people. By that time, regardless of strength, they could not be stopped; thus, today they must hand over the successor!
"Successor?"
When the Old Monster heard Zhu Tao say that, he finally understood the other party’s intention, and immediately frowned, not understanding the meaning behind Zhu Tao’s words about the successor.
Similarly, the people from the Nangong He Sect who were with the Old Monster didn’t understand what the other party meant either. They were completely unaware of any so-called successor here and wondered what the other party meant by that and who exactly they were looking for.
"Not clear? There is a person here who is our Sect’s successor, and I must take him back to the Sect. Move aside, I want to go in and look for this person!" Zhu Tao saw everyone looking very confused and sneered again before preparing to take his two subordinates inside to search for the person.
"Hold on, can you specify who your successor is? If he is one of us here, I can let him come out to meet you, but you are not allowed to enter." Seeing that the other party still wanted to move forward, the Old Monster immediately interjected. This was his bottom line. If the other party insisted on barging in, he would have no choice but to take action again.
"We don’t know exactly who the successor is, but we’ll know once we see them! Move aside quickly, do not waste my time." Zhu Tao, seeing the Old Monster blocking the way, spoke impatiently. He really did not want to waste any more time and needed to find the successor as quickly as possible.
"No, you can’t go inside!" Hearing Zhu Tao’s words, the Old Monster sized up Zhu Tao and felt that there were too many holes in Zhu Tao’s story. How could a Sect not know who their own successor was? Now they still wanted to forcefully enter; it was clear that their motive wasn’t simply to find a person!
Realizing this, he coldly spoke to Zhu Tao, and after he finished speaking, his Gang Qi erupted again, ready to take action at any moment!
"Old guy, are you looking for death?" Zhu Tao grew angry at the Old Monster’s continued obstruction and harshly said, not expecting to meet such an intransigent person even in the Secular World. Since it was like this, they could not blame him for not being polite. Thinking so, his light golden Gang Qi also exploded, ready to take action against the Old Monster.
But just at this moment, a figure suddenly burst out of the forest; it was Liao Chen who had hurried over upon hearing news of a powerful fight. He wanted to see what was happening and would not hesitate to lend a hand if needed.
"Liao Chen, why have you come?" The Old Monster casually asked upon seeing Liao Chen’s arrival, not expecting that Liao Chen too had come over.
"Who are they, what happened?" Liao Chen looked at the three people from the other side, Zhu Tao and his followers, and asked the Old Monster, not understanding who these three were and why they were causing trouble here.
The Old Monster heard Liao Chen and was about to answer, but before he could, Zhu Tao suddenly exclaimed!
"You... you are the successor!"
At that moment, Zhu Tao was beyond excited. Looking at the Inheritance Saint Disk in his hand, shining at its zenith, he immediately confirmed Liao Chen’s identity. He couldn’t believe that this young person who appeared to be under twenty was the Sect’s successor. He had finally fulfilled the Sect Master’s trust by finding the successor!
Then, he immediately dissipated the Gang Qi surrounding him and, with a wave of his hand, brought his two subordinates right in front of Liao Chen. The three of them respectfully bowed to Liao Chen, leaving him and the Old Monster, among others, dumbfounded. They were filled with confusion as they looked at Zhu Tao and his men, not understanding why these people were acting this way and what this talk of a successor meant.
"What do you mean exactly, and why are you so sure I am that successor?" Liao Chen looked at Zhu Tao, his eyebrows tightly knitted together, asking in confusion. It was true that he had a heritage, but it was an inheritance from the Lord of Dao’s Annihilation, having no connection to the Twin Saints Immortal Sect. Suddenly being declared a successor, what was this all about?
Similarly, the Old Monster and his two companions were staring fixedly at Zhu Tao. They now needed Zhu Tao to give them a reasonable explanation. The sudden declaration that Liao Chen was a successor—how could that be possible? They were well aware that Liao Chen was just a Loose Cultivator with a lucky encounter, having no relation whatsoever with any Sect.
