Chapter 150: Chapter 146 Ancient Inheritance

The spiritual consciousness suddenly descended with overwhelming force, suppressing all the black hole-level figures, leaving them with no power to resist.

Wang Xu, with an overwhelmingly powerful stance, wielded the white jade long saber and began to reap the lives of these black hole-level figures.

Blood rained down from the sky, a bloody rain mixed with fragmented limbs falling, and soon, dozens of black hole-level figures were annihilated, leaving only Sha Na with a throbbing headache, rolling on the ground in agony.

"Speak, how exactly did you get in here?" Wang Xu stood before Sha Na, speaking coldly.

"You... can’t possibly... know... ah!" Sha Na’s head felt like it was about to burst, swept away by intense pain, an extreme form of torment.

As soon as the words fell, Wang Xu let out a cold hum, and the already shattered spiritual ball in Sha Na’s mind quaked violently, further cracking with large fissures. If the spiritual ball completely shattered, Sha Na’s consciousness would directly collapse, eventually becoming a mindless walking corpse.

"Wai... Wait..." Sha Na became fearful, fully aware of the strength of a cosmic spirit, and regretted his bad luck on encountering a rare opportunity through such a perilous battlefield, only to run into such a monstrous individual!

"Speak, if you honestly tell everything, I might spare your life," Wang Xu said.

"I... I’ll talk!" No one wants to die, and neither does Sha Na. After struggling for thousands of years to finally break through to the black hole level, building his own power, and obtaining so many treasures... he doesn’t want to die here!

With a wave of Wang Xu’s hand, a surge of spiritual consciousness enveloped Sha Na’s spiritual ball, slowing its collapse, and Sha Na’s pale complexion eased somewhat.

"I... I am Sha Na of the Wind Forest Cosmic Country." Sha Na took a deep breath and began to speak, "Crossing boundaries would alert the cosmic warriors; I couldn’t have hung the iron token out, so I buried them all in the black hole-level battlefield."

"I’m not interested in how you got here, tell me your purpose," Wang Xu said, risking cosmic country pursuit by violating war protocols and crossing borders with dozens of black hole-level figures... the reason must be extraordinary!

"It’s this, we followed the places marked on this painted scroll map and eventually found ourselves in a void-level battlefield..." Sha Na turned his hand, took out a black scroll, and unfurled it, revealing a two-meter-long star map.

This star map differed from the ordinary ones, outlined in a unique ink brushwork that captured the configuration of stars, where every stroke seemed perfectly natural. At first glance, it looked less like a star map and more like real stars to Wang Xu.

"The marked location, is this what you’re searching for? What exactly are you seeking that you’d risk such danger?" Wang Xu asked coldly.

After a moment’s hesitation, Sha Na’s mind churned, but Wang Xu’s cold hum roused him abruptly. Sha Na sighed in defeat: "It’s an inheritance, an ancient inheritance."

"Inheritance?" Wang Xu’s eyes lit up. He had heard of inheritances. In the vast cosmos, there were often ancient ruins, ancient palace mansions, ancient tombs, etc. These were created by some earth-shattering figures but eventually fell into decline, becoming desolate corners of the cosmos.

Nonetheless, they were filled with treasures and mysterious inheritances. Seizing such an ancient inheritance with a bit of fortune, regardless of one’s status or power, could propel someone to unprecedented heights as the most dazzling presence!

Wang Xu had heard of a cosmic martial artist who survived a clan disaster, entered a forbidden area despairingly aiming for death, and stumbled upon great fortune, obtaining an ancient inheritance from a powerful figure!

That person not only survived but emerged from the forbidden area to sweep across boundaries, becoming a formidable celestial god realm presence!

Such rumors were endless, luring numerous cosmic martial artists to take their chances, venture into forbidden areas, or search in remote stars, hoping to gain ancient inheritances.

The outcome for most was undoubtedly failure. How could one randomly encounter an ancient inheritance?

Yet, some were persistent, constantly paying attention to any mention about ancient inheritances. Even a single word would set their nerves alight.

Sha Na was one such person.

He thrived in the black hole-level battlefield, gathering dozens of black hole-level martial artists to form a force. He avoided provoking powerful existences, living comfortably on the border battlefield.

But by a lucky coincidence, he heard that a black hole-level figure from the Tai Long Cosmic Country possessed a star map leading to an ancient inheritance! This news excited Sha Na immensely. He spent decades finding that black hole-level warrior, learning the star map’s authenticity, and then chose the right moment to murder and plunder.

He successfully obtained the star map, but upon seeing it, he was dumbfounded.

The marked location was neither in any other cosmic country nor a forbidden area, but on the void-level battlefield between the Tai Long Cosmic Country and the Wind Forest Cosmic Country!

To continue searching meant risking his life crossing the battlefield, and abandoning it meant missing the chance to become powerful... After much internal conflict and struggle, Sha Na decided to go for it!

So, Sha Na found black hole-level martial artists who knew how to cross boundaries, spent a hefty price on purchasing a "Breaking Boundary Stone," deceived everyone and secretly crossed the battlefield to reach here.

"So, even you aren’t sure of this star map’s authenticity?" Wang Xu frowned. The tales of ancient inheritances were too many, and claims of star maps leading to ancient inheritances were plentiful. Most were false, and even if true, they would be found in forbidden areas or remote cosmic locations, not in an ordinary half-steep star domain.

"Initially, I also doubted the star map’s authenticity, but it was my only chance. Even a sliver of hope is something I wouldn’t let go." Sha Na said.

Wang Xu nodded: "Alright, leave your Space Ring, you can go."

Sha Na’s eyes widened instantly, and he immediately threw down his own Space Ring, transforming into a streak of light rising into the air, flying into the Black Stone Battleship, and driving the Battleship for a rapid space-time jump.

Although he was unwilling to let all his hard work be taken by Wang Xu, compared to treasures, his life was more important.

The Black Stone Battleship disappeared into the void, Wang Xu smiled gently, waved his hand, and the Bailan appeared. Wang Xu collected the corpses of all Black Hole Level figures into the Bailan and directly executed a space-time jump.

...

"Damn bastard, I remember you, when I return, in no more than a thousand years, I will find you and tear you to pieces!" Sha Na’s eyes were venomous, uttering a low curse.

He arrived at the edge of the battlefield, crossing the boundary in the same manner.

But just like previous Cosmic Martial Artists, it took him a full ten attempts before he finally succeeded in passing through.

"I’m back, damn bastard, just you wait for me!"

However, just at the moment of passage, in the corner of the main control room of the Black Stone Battleship, an ordinary Iron Token suddenly lit up with a red glow, this was an Iron Token that Wang Xu had tossed in while slaughtering Black Hole Level figures.

Sha Na did not notice the red glow in the corner at all, his heart filled with the joy of renewed life and hatred for Wang Xu.

Boom~

Suddenly, a sound like rolling thunder echoed in the void.

Sha Na frowned, thinking he had misheard. In a vacuum, sound cannot spread, and it has always been silent.

However, Sha Na heard it very clearly.

"What’s going on?" Just as Sha Na was puzzled, he caught sight of something from the corner of his eye at the edge of the starry sky, his pupils suddenly widened, and his eyes filled with fear!

In the void, a huge black hand, like a Star River, came crashing down with rumbling thunder, heading straight for the Black Stone Battleship!

Under the giant hand, the Black Stone Battleship was like an ant to a dragon, not even having time to resist, it was completely crushed into fragments, floating in the starry sky.

Along with it, Sha Na also turned into fragments. He wanted to escape, but suddenly realized his body was bound by an invisible force, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as the giant hand descended, dying with a resentful howl.

With Sha Na’s death, the giant hand slowly dissipated, and the void returned to tranquility, leaving only a solitary field of debris from the Cosmic Battleship floating in the vacuum.

...

In the distant National Hall of the Wind Forest Cosmic Country, an ancient shadow silently disintegrated, merging into a majestic Golden Body statue.

Everyone below was shocked.

"Was that the Ancestor appearing just now?"

"Why did the Ancestor personally take action?"

"If the Ancestor took action, it must be a major affair concerning the country, immediately order a thorough investigation!"

Immediately, orders were issued from the National Hall to investigate all major events within the Wind Forest Cosmic Country.

Meanwhile, Wang Xu carefully examined the Star Map in his hand and arrived at the destination marked on the map.

"Here it is." The Bailan stopped, and Wang Xu took a casual glance, seeing only a small intact star in the distance, about the size of Earth.

And surrounding this star, all other celestial bodies many times its size had turned to dust, except for this one which remained intact.

Wang Xu stepped forward, flying towards that star.
