Chapter 682: The Spirit of Life Clan!

TL: Etude

Upon entering the inheritance space, Ye Tian carefully investigated his surroundings.

From Zhou Tian’s account, Ye Tian learned that Zhou Tian did not know much about this inheritance space. He had quietly retreated after discovering the Ancient Tree of Life and the guardians of the Ironwood Race.

Therefore, Zhou Tian was unaware of what opportunities this inheritance space held.

But just the Ancient Tree of Life alone was enough to drive a Supreme crazy! “This should be inside a mountain,” Ye Tian speculated as he observed the space around him.

“Yes,” Zhou Tian nodded. “This is indeed inside a mountain. Once we leave here, we’ll find a barren mountain range. A few hours’ flight west of the mountains is where the Ancient Tree of Life is located. Given Master’s speed, we should arrive there quickly! Master, should we proceed cautiously or crush everything in our path?”

“Crush everything in our path!” Ye Tian said confidently. “This inheritance space doesn’t allow Universal God-level experts. I can easily crush the Ironwood Race here!”

“Alright, Master, let’s go!” Zhou Tian responded.

Ye Tian and Zhou Tian then left the mountain and ventured outside, directly flying towards the Ancient Tree of Life.

—

At the Ancient Tree of Life.

There stood a massive palace inhabited by elite Ironwood Race geniuses, all at the planetary system and galaxy levels, as well as numerous guards. They were stationed to protect this place.

The Ironwood Race had almost completely controlled this inheritance space, with only a few areas still inaccessible, while the rest were being developed.

To the Ironwood Race, this was both an inheritance and a resource space.

However, the Ironwood Race’s galaxy-level geniuses now wore worried expressions.

“Everyone, it has been confirmed. The Ironwood Race has been destroyed by the human race,” said a galaxy-level peak expert of the Ironwood Race. “A planetary system-level expert skilled in disguise went out to investigate and confirmed this. To avoid detection by the humans, we have been hiding here. What should we do now?”

“I suggest we stay here until the right opportunity arises to leave,” said another galaxy-level expert. “After all, we’ve consumed the sap of the Ancient Tree of Life, granting us unlimited lifespans. We don’t fear wasting time.”

At this point, another planetary system-level peak expert said, “I suggest we leave as soon as possible. Don’t forget, the maximum limit of this inheritance space is the galaxy peak level. If we stay here, we won’t be able to reach the Universal God realm. We might not worry about lifespan, but without enough strength, how can we avenge ourselves against the humans or protect the last of our race? Also, humans haven’t occupied the Ironwood Race’s territory yet; they are only looking for resources. We can leave unnoticed now. If humans take over completely and gather their strong here, it will be much harder for us to escape.”

“We understand, but the Ancient Tree of Life is difficult to move. Are we to abandon it? We haven’t obtained all the inheritance here yet. Leaving now means it will be hard to return.”

“Right, this is the greatest secret of the Ironwood Race! We can’t abandon it!”

“But if we don’t give up, what then?”

The Ironwood Race’s galaxy-level experts argued without reaching a consensus.

At this moment, Ye Tian and Zhou Tian approached the Ancient Tree of Life.

“It really is the Ancient Tree of Life!” Ye Tian exclaimed, looking at the massive tree with anticipation and desire. He also noticed the palace and the Ironwood Race members stationed around the tree. 𝙧�

Due to Ye Tian’s powerful celestial soul, his divine sense had a long range, allowing him to detect the Ironwood Race members who had yet to notice Ye Tian and Zhou Tian’s presence.

“Let’s go,” Ye Tian said.

“Yes, Master!” Zhou Tian followed Ye Tian towards the Ancient Tree of Life.

In a flash, Ye Tian appeared under the Ancient Tree of Life, and at this moment, the Ironwood Race members finally noticed Ye Tian and Zhou Tian.

Ye Tian and Zhou Tian did not disguise themselves, appearing as humans.

This caused shock and panic among the Ironwood Race members.

“Not good, humans have appeared!” a shout echoed around.

In a flurry, thousands of Ironwood Race members flew out of the palace, mainly galaxy-level, with a few planetary system-level experts.

The galaxy-level members were the majority. With only Zhou Tian’s strength, he could defeat an ordinary galaxy-level opponent, but these were top-tier galaxy-level experts.

Hence, seeing so many galaxy-level experts, Zhou Tian felt slightly nervous. However, remembering that his master Ye Tian was there, he felt reassured.

He knew his master’s strength, comparable to top-tier Universal Gods.

With Ye Tian present, these Ironwood Race members were no more than paper tigers!

“Humans, how did you discover this place?” a galaxy-level peak expert of the Ironwood Race asked fearfully.

At this moment, Zhou Tian stepped forward and said, “Don’t you know why the Ironwood Race was destroyed?”

The Ironwood Race members looked at Zhou Tian and quickly recognized his identity.

“It’s you, the Heavenly Saber Prince of the human race!” a galaxy-level Ironwood Race member shouted.

“That’s right, it’s me!” Zhou Tian admitted.

“Weren’t you killed by our Ironwood Race?” the galaxy-level Ironwood Race member asked, frowning deeply.

“I was indeed killed by your Ironwood Race, but didn’t you know that the Supremes can resurrect me? Well, it makes sense that you wouldn’t. Your Ironwood Race doesn’t have a Supreme, so you wouldn’t think of resurrection. I came here before. The humans resurrected me, so this place was exposed!” Zhou Tian explained.

At this moment, the Ironwood Race members looked around and, not seeing any other human experts, a peak galaxy-level expert said, “Zhou Tian, you discovered the Ancient Tree of Life and didn’t inform the high-ranking humans. Otherwise, there would be a large number of galaxy-level peak experts from the human race here now. Ha ha ha, you want to monopolize the Ancient Tree of Life, but you underestimate our Ironwood Race. You brought only one peak planetary system-level human! Today, you’re destined to die here. Once you’re dead, we’ll retreat in time, and the humans won’t react quickly enough!”

“Surround them!” he commanded.

Boom! The galaxy-level Ironwood Race members spread out, sealing off the entire area, preventing Ye Tian from leaving.

“Master, this disciple’s strength is insufficient. Please, Master, take action!” Zhou Tian bowed.

In the distance, the Ironwood Race members were shocked.

They knew little about Zhou Tian, only that he was the Heavenly Saber Prince of the human race, but they didn’t know he had a master.

However, they weren’t fearful.

From the numbers and cultivation levels, they held the advantage. The humans were only two, one at the Great God level and the other at the planetary system level.

No matter how they calculated, their chances of victory were high.

“Attack!” the galaxy-level Ironwood Race member shouted.

Boom! The galaxy-level experts made their move.

At this moment, Ye Tian waved his hand, and time and space froze in this void.

“Black Lotus Realm!”

Black lotuses formed a series of Black Lotus Realms, enveloping the galaxy-level Ironwood Race experts.

Boom! In an instant, all the galaxy-level experts were annihilated within the Black Lotus Realms.

In a blink, most of the Ironwood Race experts were dead or injured, leaving only a few galaxy-level, planetary system-level, and Great God-level members who hadn’t yet acted.

“Impossible!” The remaining Ironwood Race members were in disbelief.

So many galaxy-level experts, many of whom were once Heavenly Prides, and even a few Children of the Universe, representing the strongest galaxy-level fighters of the Ironwood Race, were all killed by Ye Tian in one move.

If Ye Tian had been a Universal God, they might have accepted it, but he was merely at the peak planetary system level! They were certain Ye Tian hadn’t hidden his cultivation. During the recent attack, his cultivation remained at the peak planetary system level, unchanged.

A peak planetary system-level expert killing so many galaxy-level peaks was unbelievable! Suddenly, a planetary system-level expert exclaimed, “He… he is the Prince of Ten Thousand Laws of the human race, now the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws!”

“What, the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws? Him! The most brilliant genius in the history of humanity, even in the universe! True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws, we surrender, please spare us!” One by one, the Ironwood Race members fell to their knees, begging for mercy.

They knew very well that no matter how they resisted, they couldn’t contend with Ye Tian. Surrendering might give them a chance to live!

“Hypnosis,” Ye Tian silently activated his hypnotic talent, instantly controlling them.

Given that the Ironwood Race members’ souls were weak compared to his own, Ye Tian’s soul was overwhelmingly superior, allowing him to control them easily.

“Tell me everything about this world!” Ye Tian demanded.

Immediately, the Ironwood Race members revealed everything they knew.

Quickly, Ye Tian understood everything about this world.

It turned out that, besides the Ancient Tree of Life, there was a true inheritance in this world. However, the Ironwood Race was too weak to obtain it and had only gained some ordinary inheritances.

This world’s inheritances were primarily related to life and belonged to a grand race from a previous cosmic era—the Life Spirit Race!

This Life Spirit Race was different from the current Spirit Clan in the universe. The Life Spirit Race followed the Great Dao of Life, and each of them was born with a Divine Life Body, achieving great accomplishments in the Great Dao of Life.

Unfortunately, the Life Spirit Race was very few in number, leading to their lack of combat strength and their lack of power in their cosmic era.

However, in terms of research on the Great Dao of Life, the Life Spirit Race was absolutely among the best across numerous cosmic eras!
