Tang Yucheng reluctantly accepts a demigod's inheritance after Ye Haochuan and Yin Xirou decline it. While Ye Haochuan could not claim the inheritance due to his Tai Chi Pattern, Tang Yucheng successfully undergoes trials within a secret realm to obtain it, significantly boosting his cultivation. Afterward, the group finds themselves back in the forest, with the inheritance stele and python bodies gone.

"Another three Void God Early Stage demon beasts?"

Looking at the three colossal creatures that appeared before him, Ye Haochuan suddenly exclaimed in astonishment.

These were three Crimson Flame Sky Bears, extraordinarily robust, resembling three small mountains. Their black fur was wrapped in a layer of white flame, making them appear fierce.

Seeing an opportunity to redeem himself, Tang Yucheng roared with delight. The Fierce Fire Vajra Ape burst forth from the ground, towering several times taller and stronger than before, with its spectral form more solid. It looked like a real Fierce Fire Vajra Ape demon beast.

Moreover, the eyes of the Fierce Fire Vajra Ape, once dull, now seemed much more lively, as if it had acquired some basic intelligence.

The Fierce Fire Vajra Ape charged forward, directly colliding with one of the Crimson Flame Sky Bears, its body several times larger, resembling a rapidly moving giant mountain, making a breathtaking impact.

However, the Crimson Flame Sky Bear didn’t collapse immediately; flames swirled around its paws, and its three sharp claws, like three Divine Swords, swiped at the head of the Fierce Fire Vajra Ape.

Similarly possessing the power of flame, the fierce flame on the Crimson Flame Sky Bear’s paw did not exert its expected power.

The Fierce Fire Vajra Ape brushed off the Crimson Flame Sky Bear’s claws with one hand, then punched it squarely in the chest.

Crash!

The Crimson Flame Sky Bear was knocked flying, rolling several times on the ground, making the earth tremble and sending rocks and ancient trees flying.

"So powerful!"

Ye Haochuan blocked an attack from a Crimson Flame Sky Bear with the Halberd of Heaven and Earth, then exclaimed in admiration as he watched Tang Yucheng.

Tang Yucheng, after receiving the inheritance, was entirely different from before.

It seemed that this time, dealing with these three Void God Early Stage demon beasts was no longer a suspenseful task. They just hoped that there wasn’t anything too problematic hidden here, like a Void God Mid-Stage demon beast.

The three of them seamlessly handled their respective opponents, quickly gaining the upper hand.

At that moment, three people appeared not far behind them.

"Someone else entered this Secret Realm?"

Ye Haochuan instantly became alert.

Those three people had not inconsiderable cultivation levels, with two at Void God Early Stage and one already at Void God Mid-Stage. If these three intended to harm them, it would be tricky to handle.

However, in the next moment, something jaw-dropping happened.

In the dense ancient forest, three Crimson Flame Sky Bears rose again, roaring tumultuously towards the trio.

Among them, one was so imposing that even Ye Haochuan, standing far away, felt a shiver of fear.

"Void God Mid-Stage?"

Ye Haochuan murmured to himself, suddenly struck by a shocking thought.

Earlier, he found the appearance of three fierce beasts each time odd. Now suddenly three people appeared, followed by the emergence of three fierce beasts.

Does this mean that in this Secret Realm, as many people came in, the same number of fierce beasts would arrive to obstruct them?

Moreover, it seems that the grade of these fierce beasts matched the cultivators’ levels.

"Could it be that these fierce beasts are mere illusions or some sort of energy formations?"

Ye Haochuan had a conjecture.

Considering the previous Secret Realm, where demon beast corpses vanished instantly, this hypothesis seemed highly plausible.

He had previously wondered if the protectors of the inheritance were merely Void God Mid-Stage beasts, wouldn’t a few Void God Mid-Stage cultivators easily take away the inheritance?

It’s worth noting that although the majority entering the Four Images Secret Realm were Void God Early Stage, many were also Void God Mid-Stage, even some Void God Late Stage.

Now it appeared that the Secret Realm’s structure certainly wouldn’t be that foolish.

The challenge seemed designed to ensure that those seeking inheritance not only could defeat beasts of the same level but also possessed the capability of challenging beasts beyond their level, before having a chance to reach the stele for the next round of trials.

Challenging beyond one’s level sounds simple, but in reality, it’s extraordinarily difficult.

These demon beasts with Divine Beast bloodlines are significantly stronger than regular beasts of the same level. Besides monstrous individuals like Ye Haochuan, others simply can’t defeat these beasts beyond their level.

In the previous Secret Realm, without the sudden help, the trio would have been doomed long ago, let alone allowing Tang Yucheng to acquire the inheritance.

Why doesn’t it produce a True Immortal Late Stage fierce beast based on Ye Haochuan’s cultivation? This likely serves as a threshold set by the designer.

Void God Early Stage is the minimum beast level; even if an ordinary person enters, this still applies.

Perhaps in their eyes, anyone below Void God lacks the qualification for inheritance.

"Don’t rush to destroy those three demon beasts, let them attack first!"

To validate his hypothesis, Ye Haochuan quietly reminded his two companions.

Yin Xirou and Tang Yucheng, though unsure of Ye Haochuan’s thoughts, still obediently slowed their attacks.

The three on the other side were reasonably strong, soon taking down their Crimson Flame Sky Bear.

But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a towering ’mountain’ suddenly arose.

"Not good, there’s an even stronger demon beast here!"

Feeling the overwhelming presence from the ’mountain’, Tang Yucheng instinctively took a step back, exclaiming in panic.

"Don’t worry, that guy shouldn’t come to attack us!" Ye Haochuan reassured.

As soon as he spoke, the trio beside him started attacking that ’mountain’.

Yes, the ’mountain’ was an even larger, mightier Crimson Flame Sky Bear, towering into the clouds, making the ground tremble with each step.

Their seemingly fierce attacks landed on the Crimson Flame Sky Bear without causing much disturbance.

The discrepancy in strength was evident.

A Void God Early Stage cultivator met a misfortunate end being smashed into pulp by the Crimson Flame Sky Bear.

"Let’s go!"

The Void God Mid-Stage cultivator’s face darkened, shouting loudly.

He disregarded the safety of his companion, retreating hastily, shouting, "Abandon!"

In the next instant, his figure blurred out of sight.

His companion mimicked the action slightly slower, having a leg crushed by the giant bear before disappearing.

Tang Yucheng and Yin Xirou were tense; this beast was surely Void God Late Stage, and if it intended harm, it would easily kill them.

However, the giant bear seemed to ignore their presence, taking a few steps before laying down, disappearing from view.

"Indeed, these fierce beasts follow cultivators’ levels, with the final challenge being one level higher than the strongest in the group!"

Ye Haochuan confirmed his guess, sighing, "This South Sect’s choice of inheritors is truly harsh; with such a rule, even among ten thousand persons, there might not be one capable of passing the first test."

But after deeper thought, it’s understandable.

These inheritances left by the Great Powers were limited; if acquiring them were easy, the Four Images Secret Realm might have been devoid of inheritance long ago.

Sharing this conjecture with Yin Xirou and the others, they clicked their tongues in amazement.

The outside world only spoke of the forest’s dangers, unaware of such obscured aspects.

It’s likely Ye Haochuan wasn’t the first to discover these signs. The reason it wasn’t widely propagated might be due to strict orders from the South Sect’s upper ranks, or perfidious intent from those who planned to trap first-time entrants.

"First, kill these three Crimson Flame Sky Bears, then attempt to kill the Void God Mid-Stage one; if not achievable, shout ’abandon’ without hesitation."

Knowing how to exit the Secret Realm, Ye Haochuan felt relieved. Despite having no expectation for the next fierce beast, he intended to try.

After all, one should have ambitions; what if they come true?
