Wang Teng successfully refined a powerful Kunpeng Spirit Egg and had a new title, "Heaven's Replacement (Top Level)," activated. He learned that the Guardian Divine Domain inheritance trial would involve powerful Domain Lord Level figures and that one or two Eternal Realm experts, who broke through within the last ten thousand years, would also participate, posing a significant threat.

Chapter 1494: Chapter 588: Eternal and Indestructible! Guardian Legacy

Ying He Domain Master said, “In previous eras, at most one or two Eternal Realm experts appeared. We’ve never had more than three.”

Hearing this, Wang Teng nodded slightly.

“Time is tight! Let’s hurry into seclusion! We have to reach the Guardian Divine Domain as soon as possible.”

“Alright~!”

With that, Ying He Domain Master cupped his hands in farewell and left in a hurry.

Afterward, Wang Teng had his five clones guard the Fertile Star Realm, and then he vanished into thin air.

The next second, he returned to the Celestial Essence Universe.

At this moment, within a certain cultivation secret chamber of the Celestial Essence Universe.

Wang Teng looked at the Eternal Halberd and the Heaven-Reaching Treasure Banner before him, and a smile appeared on his face.

As long as he refined these two Dao Artifacts, he would be able to awaken quite a few more Great Daos.

The only pity was that he had long since grasped the Dao of Eternity contained in the Eternal Halberd.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng made a beckoning gesture, and a thought body appeared out of thin air.

The next second, that thought body picked up the Eternal Halberd and began the refinement.

Seeing this, Wang Teng also sat cross-legged and started refining the Heaven-Reaching Treasure Banner.

His speed at personally refining Dao Artifacts was much faster than that of the thought body.

Just like that, Wang Teng entered closed-door cultivation mode.

Meanwhile, Little Di Jiang and the others each obtained around twenty Dao Crystals and continued their seclusion.

Those were the more than seven hundred Dao Crystals Wang Teng had refined from True Spirit Fragments such as Kun Ancestor.

He allocated over two hundred Dao Crystals to Little Di Jiang and the others.

Another three hundred Dao Crystals were distributed to Celestial Court Disciples to cultivate new Masters of the Star Domain Realm.

As for the remaining hundred and ninety-plus Dao Crystals, he could refine them himself.

All these trivial distribution matters were handled by the thought body.

…

At the same time, in that distant Heaven-Peeping Divine Domain.

At this moment, a group of people flew out from the center of the Divine Realm.

At their head was a bald, fat man, bare-chested with his belly exposed, wearing a perpetual smile.

Only right now, that smiling face looked particularly ugly.

This fatty was named Venerable Maitreya, a quasi-Half-step Eternal Powerhouse of the Heaven-Peeping Divine Domain.

Behind him followed a group of Divine Kings, with Cheng Huang and Emperor Shih among them.

At this moment, the group muttered incessantly, all finding it unbelievable.

“Lord Maitreya! Is what Great Sacrificial Heaven said true? Lord Jieyin and Lord Pu Yin have both fallen?”

Venerable Maitreya gave a bitter smile. “Great Sacrificial Heaven has Soul Contracts with both Jieyin and Pu Yin. Once they perish, how could Great Sacrificial Heaven not know?”

Cheng Huang found it hard to accept. “This… how could this be? Is that little thief Wang Teng really that strong?”

Venerable Maitreya took a deep breath. “Lord Pu Yin’s fall was indeed Wang Teng’s doing; Lord Jieyin personally witnessed it.”

“What?!”

Hearing this, Cheng Huang and Emperor Shih were both exceedingly shocked.

Right after, Cheng Huang asked again, “Then how exactly did Lord Jieyin fall?”

“That, we don’t know!”

Venerable Maitreya shook his head with a bitter smile.

It turned out that Wang Teng’s attacks contained the Power of the Dao of Cause and Effect, and he also had the Dao of One at his side.

Anyone slain by him—if they did not see it with their own eyes—could not possibly deduce that it was his kill.

So once Jieyin fell, Great Sacrificial Heaven sensed it.

He even deduced the fall of Kun Ancestor.

Yet Great Sacrificial Heaven could not confirm whether those incidents were Wang Teng’s doing.

He also could not bring himself to believe that Wang Teng possessed such strength.

Only, with Pu Yin and Jieyin dying one after another, Great Sacrificial Heaven’s claws outside were gone.

Because of that, Great Sacrificial Heaven had no choice but to change his strategy.

At this time, Venerable Maitreya continued, “Regardless of how Jieyin perished, this matter is extremely disadvantageous to Great Sacrificial Heaven. Now that the Guardian Domain Master’s inheritance trial is imminent, Wang Teng will definitely head to the Guardian Divine Domain. We absolutely cannot allow him to succeed.”

Cheng Huang came to a sudden realization. “So, our master wants us to head to the various forbidden Divine Domains and spread the news of Wang Teng’s emergence, informing those Eternal Realm Great Powers who can participate in the trial, so that they won’t miss this trial?”

Venerable Maitreya took a deep breath. “Exactly! If we inform them of this potential threat that is Wang Teng, those Eternal Realm experts will no longer be able to sit back and watch like tigers on the mountain.”

“They have spent the blood and sweat of their entire lives, endured bitter cultivation for tens of thousands of years to attain Eternity and dominate a region. If Wang Teng truly gains the inheritance and becomes Eternal Lord, how could they be willing to remain under another?”

“And as for Luo Hou of the Yellow Heaven Divine Domain, Great Sacrificial Heaven personally sent him the message, informing him of Wang Teng’s existence! I’d guess Luo Hou will also make a move this time.”

Cheng Huang’s eyes lit up. “That’s excellent! In that case, the number of Eternal Realm experts participating in the inheritance trial will surge. Little do they know, the more Eternal Realm experts there are, the more difficult the trial will become. That brat Wang Teng will find it hard to gain the inheritance and may even fall directly!”

Emperor Shih sneered as well. “That little thief really deserves death!”

Venerable Maitreya sighed. “Enough! No more words. Let’s hurry and act!”

“Yes, my lord!”

With that, the group flew out of the Heaven-Peeping Divine Domain in haste and began to move…

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a day had gone by.

Within the Celestial Essence Universe, that equaled sixty days.

During this period, Wang Teng not only refined the Heaven-Reaching Treasure Banner, gaining the Dao of Innate—the Dao of the Saint.

His thought body also refined the Brahma Heart Sword, gaining the Dao of Innate—the Dao of Brahma.

By this point, the Dao of Innate under his control had reached a total of thirty-eight.

As for the usable Dao Crystals, he had refined all of them as well.

At this moment, Wang Teng opened the Attribute Light Interface to check his progress…

[Comprehensive Combat Power: 1774 Star Level]

[Dao of Innate: 38]

[Total Number of Dao: 1797]

After reading, Wang Teng revealed a satisfied smile.

As long as he obtained three more Great Daos, the Creation Jade Scroll could be upgraded.

Speaking of which, Wang Teng had awakened over two hundred Great Daos this time, and the Creation Jade Scroll had already undergone one upgrade.

“Right! With my current strength, I wonder what percentage chance I have of obtaining the Guardian Domain Master’s inheritance?”

With a motion of his heart, Wang Teng quickly formed a Seal Technique with his hands and began to deduce.

A moment later, his eyes were full of astonishment.

From this calculation, his success probability was actually only ten percent.

That was far too low!

Moreover, according to his deductions, if his Combat Power broke through 2500 Star Level, his success rate could reach fifty percent.

Right now, he was only at 1774 Star Level, still far from the target!

At present, the only remaining resource he had was the Eternal Halberd, which he had yet to refine.

Beyond that, he seemed to have no other channels to strengthen himself.

Wait!

There was still the Three Lives Divine Book bounty.

Counting the time, there were still more than ten days until the three-month deadline.

He should be able to reach the Guardian Divine Domain within that period and claim the quintuple bounty reward.

That should allow him to raise his strength somewhat.

Just then, Wang Teng’s heart stirred, as though he sensed something.

The next second, he took out a Communication Jade Talisman from his Storage Ring.

After reading the contents of the message, Wang Teng smiled.

It turned out that Ying He Domain Master had already come out of seclusion and was heading toward the Fertile Star Realm.

For him to exit seclusion so quickly, he most likely also possessed a Time Force Field.

That was a good thing.

He himself was just about to set out.

With that thought, Wang Teng flashed once and appeared high above the Fertile Star Realm.

Ying He Domain Master had yet to arrive; he would have to wait a bit.

With that thought, Wang Teng made a beckoning gesture, and white light flashed repeatedly in front of him.

Little Di Jiang and the others appeared out of thin air.

Liu Erlong and more than five hundred Masters of the Star Domain Realm also appeared one after another.

Having summoned them this time, Wang Teng explained the upcoming trip to the Guardian Divine Domain.

He redistributed some resources, hoping everyone could further raise their Combat Power.

That way, relying on everyone’s Power of Sacrifice, he could once again close the gap toward the 2500 Star Level Combat Power target.

Wang Teng’s probability of obtaining the Guardian inheritance would also greatly increase.

At this moment, Ji Ziyue finished listening, and her beautiful eyes flashed.

“Master, you can also refine the God-Beating Whip! That way, Liu Erlong and the others can advance to the Main God Realm and gain much more Combat Power!”

As those words fell, everyone’s eyes lit up as well.

Wang Teng shook his head with a faint, bitter smile.

He naturally knew that refining the Divine Whip would greatly help him.

“Unfortunately, to refine that God-Beating Whip, I still lack the Taiyin Star Essence and Sun Star Essence, the two main materials. Right now, I have no idea where to find them.”

Saying this, Wang Teng sighed helplessly.

And just as his voice fell, hearty laughter echoed across the sky above the Fertile Star Realm.

“Haha~! Lord Wang Teng, if you’re looking for the Taiyin and Taiyang Star Essence, I, Yin, do know a place you can find them!”

As those words fell, white light flashed across the scene, and Ying He Domain Master appeared out of thin air…
