Chapter 372: The Main God Space (28)

Inside the Yellow Springs Realm.

"Gongsun Ling, hand over the inheritance of the Lord of Yellow Springs!"

In a desolate wasteland filled with the aura of destruction, towering figures stood at the peak of the void.

Every one of them came from a powerful orthodoxy within the Yellow Springs Realm.

At this moment, in the wasteland, a bloodstained woman stood tall, holding a long sword and radiating powerful energy.

The woman was named Gongsun Ling. She was the young girl Su Chen had discovered during his first mission in the Main God Space—the one born with the laws of life and death. He had bestowed upon her a tailor-made technique, though it could only be cultivated up to the Nirvana realm.

But Gongsun Ling possessed supreme talent. With the technique Su Chen had left her, she had transcended the Great Yin world in a short time and stepped onto the path among the stars. She became an Emperor in less than a thousand years, then successfully transcended once more and entered the Boundless Strange Domain. She arrived just as the Yellow Springs Realm was at war with the Fourth Scourge, where she quickly rose to prominence.

Unfortunately, the situation did not last. The inheritance of the Lord of Yellow Springs had appeared, and both the Yellow Springs Realm and the Fourth Scourge fought fiercely over it... This was the inheritance of an Eighteenth Tribulation Ruler. Obtaining it would allow one to soar to the heavens in a single step!

Gongsun Ling had seized the fortune of heaven and earth. She fought her way to the end among the many chosen successors of the Lord of Yellow Springs.

"I did not obtain the inheritance of the Lord of Yellow Springs. This is all a false accusation."

Gongsun Ling looked around at her powerful enemies. Although she had fought to the very end, the inheritance of the Lord of Yellow Springs was not on her person.

At this moment, Gongsun Ling's gaze fell on the pink-robed woman who was surrounded and protected by the crowd.

The pink-robed woman spoke indifferently, "Gongsun Ling, only you reached the end in the inheritance ground of the Lord of Yellow Springs. If the inheritance is not on you, could it possibly be on this princess?"

The inheritance of the Lord of Yellow Springs was actually on the pink-robed woman. This was Gongsun Ling's intuition. But she could not understand why the pink-robed woman was targeting her and framing her for possessing the inheritance. Was it simply because she was not from the Yellow Springs Realm?

"Gongsun Ling, how could the inheritance of the Lord of Yellow Springs be something an outsider like you could claim?"

"Hand over the inheritance of the Lord of Yellow Springs and we will spare your life. Otherwise... we naturally have ways to force you to surrender it!"

Even the inheritance of an ordinary Dao Lord was enough to make countless people fight to the death, let alone the inheritance of the strongest expert in the Yellow Springs Realm. It was enough to drive anyone mad with greed.

Gongsun Ling's long hair turned black and white as the laws of life and death flowed. They converged at the hilt of her sword into a mighty torrent.

With only the cultivation of a Second Tribulation Ruler, she faced a group of Third, Fourth, and even Fifth Tribulation Rulers without retreating a single step.

A flash of jealousy and greed appeared in the pink-robed woman's eyes.

The laws of life and death! Those were the laws of life and death!

With such talent, the path to Emperor Lord would be unobstructed.

The great battle was about to erupt when an uninvited guest intruded.

Bang!

Blood-colored fireworks bloomed across the sky. Both Gongsun Ling and the pink-robed woman were stunned.

In a single instant, the group of powerhouses who had seemed like immortals and gods passing judgment on sinners vanished completely. The world fell silent.

'A Dao Lord.'

The thought of a being at the Dao Lord level flashed through the pink-robed woman's mind. She cursed inwardly, "Why would a Dao Lord leave the border defenses and come here?"

The Dao Lords of the Yellow Springs Realm were all on guard against another outbreak from the Fourth Scourge.

Ripples appeared in the void. An unfamiliar figure walked out from them.

He was not a Dao Lord of the Yellow Springs Realm.

Shock appeared on the pink-robed woman's face. The same shock appeared on Gongsun Ling's face.

She looked at that figure. Memories overlapped in her mind.

It was the youth who had once bestowed upon her a cultivation technique. Back when she had been unrivaled in the Great Yin Dynasty world, she had traveled across mountains and seas searching for the youth's traces, but she had ultimately found nothing.

She had never expected the two of them to meet again here!

"May I ask which Dao Lord you are? Why have you intruded upon my Yellow Springs Realm?"

The pink-robed woman's expression changed drastically. Sensing the newcomer's ill intent, she immediately invoked the Yellow Springs Realm as her backing... Unfortunately, Su Chen did not fall for it.

"A lingering wisp of a remnant soul dares to covet someone I have taken an interest in?"

Su Chen's gaze was like a sharp sword, seeing straight through the pink-robed woman's true nature.

Remnant soul. Gongsun Ling suddenly understood.

The pink-robed woman had long been possessed by the Lord of Yellow Springs.

The Lord of Yellow Springs wanted to flee, but it was already too late. With a single thought from Su Chen, he could not move. The massive gap in strength was such that even a true immortal would have to temporarily avoid the edge, let alone the Lord of Yellow Springs—a Ruler who had not even reached the Emperor Lord level.

"It's you. You are the one behind this?"

The Lord of Yellow Springs realized something, his tone filled with horror... The main reason he had chosen to possess the pink-robed woman instead of Gongsun Ling was that, just as he was about to possess Gongsun Ling, he had sensed a crisis from the void that made him abandon the idea.

The Lord of Yellow Springs believed this was Su Chen's doing!

Looking at the approaching figure, the Lord of Yellow Springs smelled the scent of death. "I am willing to exchange my inheritance for my life. I am the Lord of Yellow Springs!"

The Lord of Yellow Springs wanted to trade his inheritance and fortune for his life.

This condition seemed utterly laughable in Su Chen's eyes.

The Lord of Yellow Springs' inheritance and fortune were not as attractive as this body. Su Chen directly crushed the Lord of Yellow Springs to death, then refined his qi, blood, and soul. A legendary Eighteenth Tribulation Ruler had died once again.

"Gongsun Ling greets Senior... Thank you for bestowing the cultivation method upon me."

Gongsun Ling bowed slightly to Su Chen. She recognized him. If not for Su Chen helping her suppress the laws of life and death back then and giving her a cultivation method, the laws within her body might have gone out of control, causing the entire Great Yin Dynasty world to disappear... If the Great Yin Dynasty world disappeared, her own fate would have been the same.

Su Chen nodded indifferently. When Gongsun Ling met those eyes that carried no emotion whatsoever, her heart trembled. Just as she began to doubt herself, a calm compliment reached her ears. "Second Tribulation Ruler, walking the path of life and death. Your aptitude and comprehension are quite good."

A single compliment was enough to dispel all the fear and unease in Gongsun Ling's heart.

"I once said that if we met again, I would bestow upon you a great fortune. Are you willing to become my second disciple?"

Born with mastery over the laws of life and death, carrying a chance to attain immortality, and mysteriously appearing in a lower realm.

Su Chen naturally would not let such a good seedling slip away. Moreover, Gongsun Ling had perfectly passed his test.

Joy flashed in Gongsun Ling's eyes. She knelt and bowed respectfully to Su Chen. "Disciple Gongsun Ling greets Master."

With such a big shot willing to take her as a disciple, Gongsun Ling was naturally willing.

On the path of the Great Dao, backing was very important.

Su Chen smiled. The path of the Great Dao was not a solitary journey. Taking in a variable like Gongsun Ling was an unexpected pleasant surprise for him.

"Master said I am the second disciple. Does that mean I have a senior brother or senior sister?"

Gongsun Ling asked in confusion.

Su Chen nodded. "You do indeed have a senior brother... But right now, even this master does not know where he is. You may meet in the future. But for now, he is a taboo for you. Knowing about your senior brother is not a good thing for you."

Gongsun Ling seemed to understand but not fully.

Su Chen looked up toward the endless sea of stars.

One day, he would walk another path and attain immortality once more!
