Chapter 542

Purple Smoke Erodes the Bone

Boom!

After opening 855 acupoints, Zhuowen's strength had reached a level where it could shatter mountains. The intense golden light caused Huang Wuji to involuntarily narrow his eyes.

When Zhuowen's third punch landed on the Golden Bell, the world fell silent. Then, an earth-shattering sound echoed throughout the world.

The seemingly indestructible Golden Bell began to shake violently. Cracks began to appear on its surface.

The aftermath of the powerful force penetrated the Golden Bell's surface and seeped into it. Huang Wuji, who was inside the bell, actually spat out a mouthful of blood. He covered his ears with both hands as blood slowly flowed out from his seven orifices.

"How is this possible?

How can Zhuowen be so strong? "

Huang Wuji's face was already filled with shock. He had not expected Zhuowen to be so strong that even the Golden Bell could not block it. This was simply too unbelievable!

Crack!

A crisp sound slowly rang out. Then, Huang Wuji's pupils shrank as he discovered that cracks had unknowingly appeared on the Golden Bell's surface. Moreover, these cracks were still spreading.

When all the cracks had covered the entire body of the Golden Bell Bell, the top-grade Earth-ranked Golden Bell Bell actually shattered into countless pieces before his eyes.

Boom!

A fist that was suffused with golden light smashed into Huang Wuji's abdomen amidst the countless fragments. An incomparably powerful force exploded, forming a spiral-shaped storm in the surrounding air.

Puchi!

Huang Wuji spat out a mouthful of blood. His entire body fell from the sky like a withered leaf. His eyes were wide open as he stared at the cold-faced figure above him.

At that moment, his eyes were filled with regret. He knew that if he hadn't offended Zhuo Wen, and if he hadn't mocked and ridiculed him, he wouldn't have died in such a manner.

However, there was no medicine for regret in this world!

Bang!

Huang Wuji directly smashed a huge hole in the ground. His eyes were wide open, and he was no longer breathing. He died with remaining grievances.

After dealing with Huang Wuji, Zhuowen raised his head slightly and looked around, only to discover that the other cultivators had already fled without a trace. Knowing that even if he chased after them now, it would be pointless, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Since I've obtained the last Legacy Key, it's time to head to the Land of Legacy."

Zhuowen took out the shiny Inheritance Key, and a ray of light shot out from the key towards the end of the Ancient Ruins. He knew that the direction of the ray of light was the direction of the Inheritance Land.

At that moment, Zhuowen did not hesitate. He stomped his foot and his speed soared to the limit as he rushed towards the end. There was a trace of passion in his eyes.

He knew that with the Blood Demon Token and the bronze coffin, he had a high chance of successfully obtaining the most powerful inheritance in the Land of Inheritance. It was also the most dangerous inheritance, the Blood Demon Inheritance.

At the end of the Ancient Ruins, there was a basin that spanned several thousand kilometers. Purple mist lingered around this huge basin.

This purple mist was extremely terrifying and contained an extremely terrifying poison. Even if a Nine-wheel Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator entered this purple mist, they would probably die in less than ten breaths of time. This showed just how terrifying this purple mist was.

This basin surrounded by purple mist was the most mysterious existence in the Ancient Ruins, the Land of Inheritance.

Only those who held the Inheritance Key would not be corroded by the terrifying purple mist. This was also the reason why the Inheritance Key was so important. The most important reason was because of the terrifying purple mist in front of them.

Swoosh!

A black bolt of lightning suddenly shot down from the horizon and arrived above the huge basin in an instant. Zhuowen lowered his head slightly and stared at the constantly churning purple mist with a grave expression.

"This purple mist should be the Purple Mist Bone Erosion. It's an extremely terrifying miasma. Even a Nine-wheel Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator would probably die in a short period of time if they were to fall into the Purple Mist Bone Erosion. This thing was notorious in the Ancient Times."

Xiao Hei's voice slowly rang out in his head. His voice had become extremely grave. Clearly, he was extremely fearful of the Purple Mist Bone Erosion.

"Purple Mist Bone Erosion?

Even a Nine-wheel Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator might die? "

Zhuowen's eyes could not help but narrow when he heard that. Was the purple mist below really so terrifying that even a Nine-wheel Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator might die if they were to fall into it?

"You don't need to doubt it. The Purple Mist Bone Erosion was extremely infamous in the Ancient Times. Even the Four Exalted Realm cultivators were unwilling to fall into it.

Although the Purple Mist Bone Erosion is unable to kill the Four Exalted Realm cultivators, it can put them into an extremely miserable state, "Xiao Hei said cautiously.

"However, I've investigated earlier. The Purple Mist Bone Erosion seems to be extremely fearful of the inheritance key in your hand. As long as you have the inheritance key, you'll be able to successfully pass through the Purple Mist Bone Erosion."

Zhuowen nodded when he heard that. He also understood that the inheritance key was the key to passing through the purple mist.

"Let's go!"

With the key in hand, Zhuowen took a step forward and directly entered the purple mist.

However, what surprised him was that the moment he entered the purple mist, the key in his hand immediately emitted a gentle white light. The white light was like a protective barrier that surrounded Zhuowen and blocked the corrosion of the purple mist.

"The gravity in the purple mist is many times stronger than outside!"

The moment he entered the purple mist, Zhuowen felt his body become heavy. His feet felt as if they were filled with lead and became extremely heavy, causing him to stagger as he walked.

"The Purple Mist Bone Erosion is not an ordinary mist. It is much denser than ordinary mist. That's why you feel your footsteps become heavy within the Purple Mist Bone Erosion. It's not because the gravity inside has become stronger, but because the purple mist itself is very heavy," Xiao Hei explained rather patiently.

Nodding his head, Zhuowen slowly walked forward with heavy steps. He knew that as long as he passed through the purple mist, he would completely enter the boundary of the inheritance ground.

Along the way, Zhuowen saw many scattered skeletons. It could be said that the path within the purple mist was like the path to hell. With every few steps, Zhuowen could see piles of white bones.

Zhuowen even discovered that some of the skeletons had extremely powerful auras. Even though they had been dead for so long, they were still able to leave behind such powerful auras. The owner of these skeletons must have been extremely terrifying when he was alive. At the very least, he was an existence that far surpassed Zhuowen.

Zhuowen knew that the owner of these skeletons was very likely a genuine ultimate nine-wheel Emperor. Xiao Hei was right. The Purple Mist Bone Erosion was indeed terrifying. Even an ultimate nine-wheel Emperor had perished in this area.

This reality caused Zhuowen, who was originally unconcerned, to become vigilant and serious. He knew that the inheritance ground was definitely not simple. If he made a wrong move, he might have to pay the price of his life.

After about two hours, Zhuowen walked out of the strange purple mist and arrived in front of an extremely grand stone door.

The stone door was several hundred meters tall. Zhuowen seemed as tiny as an ant as he stood before it. Two large stone statues stood on either side of the stone door.

The stone statues were dressed in martial attire and wielded huge spears. Their heads were lowered, and their huge eyes silently looked down on all life below the stone door. It was as if the two stone statues could see through all the vicissitudes of the world.

Looking at the gazes of the two statues, Zhuo Wen could not help but feel a chill run down his spine. He discovered that if he stared at the gazes of the two statues, he could not help but feel a trace of dizziness. Zhuo Wen was so startled that he hurriedly looked away, not daring to look at the statues again.

At this moment, nine figures sat beneath the huge stone door. Zhuowen's arrival had attracted the attention of the nine figures.

"Zhuowen!"

Among the nine figures, an elegant and beautiful woman suddenly smiled. She hurriedly waved at Zhuowen. She was Qing Lian, who had obtained the ninth key.

The other eight people were the other candidates that possessed the Inheritance Key. They were respectively Lv Yitao, Luo Xing, Zhu Chi, Qin Batian, Xu Tianliang, Ling Wushuang, and two men that Zhuo Wen had never seen before.

However, from the presence of the two men, they were not very powerful. They were even weaker than Ling Wushuang. Clearly, they were around the peak of the second-wheel Ultimate King realm. They were at the bottom of the group.

"This little bastard really did obtain the last key. Looks like we're quite lucky!"

Zhu Chi licked his lips. His eyes were bloodshot as he said to Xu Tianliang beside him.

At this moment, Xu Tianliang sneered. He said softly, "This little bastard has come at just the right time. Once we enter the inheritance ground, we'll find an opportunity to kill him!"

"Yes!

I definitely won't let this kid go. However, Lv Yitao and Luo Xing are both here right now. It's not the right time to act.

The five ancient inheritances will appear in a moment. Once Lv Yitao and Luo Xing have chosen their inheritances, we'll act. Let's see where this little bastard can escape to this time! "

The corners of Zhu Chi's mouth curled into a sinister smile. Now, he couldn't wait to kill the calm Zhuo Wen in front of him.

Zhuo Wen smiled and nodded towards Qing Lian. His gaze swept past the eight people and finally stopped at the nearby Xu Tianliang and Zhu Chi, who had ill intentions. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

He did not need to guess to know what Zhu Chi and Xu Tianliang were talking about. They were probably discussing how to kill him in the inheritance ground.

"Alright!

It saves me the trouble of finding the two of you. Don't blame me for being merciless when the time comes. "

Zhuowen softly muttered. He calmly arrived in front of the nine people. His expression was calm and indifferent.

Zhuo Wen's arrival caused the originally expressionless Lv Yitao to slowly stand up. His sharp gaze glanced at Zhuo Wen as he nodded his head slightly. After which, he loudly said, "Since the ten of you are all here, everyone should take out their respective inheritance keys!

Only by gathering all ten inheritance keys can the stone door be opened. The ancient inheritance will also appear once again. "
