Chapter 172 Teaching? Inheritance? Snatching!

"You must give it your all!" Xiao Huo's voice still echoed in Yuehui's ears, but his figure had already suddenly darted out.

Despite being a senior, he showed no humility whatsoever.

With a flash of golden light, the two swords in his hands were already unleashed in a simple, unadorned cross-cutting motion.

A dark golden cross slash almost instantly reached Moonbeam!
With her extensive combat experience, Yuehui reacted the instant Xiao Huo made a slight movement.

He swung his thunder staff like a longsword, unleashing a sharp, crescent-shaped slash:
"Thunderous Crescent Slash!"

The purplish-gold lightning struck precisely at the core of Xiao Huo's cross-shaped slash.

With his exquisite technique, Moonshine encountered almost no resistance and cleaved the cross-shaped slash in two!

The lightning strike continued its momentum, heading straight for Xiao Huo's face.

However, Xiao Huo simply held the two swords he had just used in a strange stance in front of him.

The next moment, Yuehui's unstoppable lightning crescent slash seemed to be swallowed up by an invisible force and mysteriously disappeared.

Not even a ripple of energy was stirred up.

(field?)

Moonlight felt a chill and immediately released her own domain.

The purplish-gold lightning surged from beneath his feet, but instead of expanding outwards, it gathered and covered his body like a living thing.

Although he had not yet reached the ninth-level, fifth-grade "Domain as My Own" realm, he had already grasped some of its essence by observing Yang Haoyu's battle.

At this moment, the Thunder Domain has possessed him. Although it is not perfect, it has already begun to take shape as the "domain is mine".

"Senior, please give me some advice!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuehui gripped the Thunder Staff with both hands and pointed the staff directly at Xiao Huo—

"The Transformation of the Grotto-Heaven: A Long Dream Ends!"

His figure completely transformed into a dazzling bolt of lightning, merging with the surging thunder, and hurtled forward at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to perceive!

Xiao Huo's eyes flashed with golden light, and he slashed out with his twin swords of spiritual energy, directly meeting the lightning bolt that pierced the sky.

boom--! ! !
The dark gold sword light and the purple-gold lightning collided fiercely, and a terrifying energy storm suddenly erupted, causing even the weaker Eternal Heroes to take several steps back.

As the storm subsided, everyone stared intently at the scene, their hearts trembling with shock—

All that could be seen was that the pair of spiritual energy swords in Xiao Huo's hands, with only the hilts remaining, the blades completely shattered in the previous collision.

Meanwhile, Yuehui's figure had quietly appeared behind Xiao Huo, the lightning around him completely subsided, with only a wisp of lingering electric arc dancing at his fingertips.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior," Yuehui said respectfully.

Xiao Huo turned around, and the golden spiritual energy flowing around him converged back to his heart like rivers flowing into the sea, and the unique aura of the undead enveloped him once again.

He asked with some surprise, "What kind of power did you just use?"

"Reporting to Senior, it is the Lightning of Destruction," Moonbeam replied frankly, "formed by the fusion of the Lightning of Heavenly Punishment and the Lightning of Heavenly Retribution."

Yes, in the final clash, he used this fused destructive power for the first time. Because this place was beneath the Knight's Holy Mountain, shrouded by nine ancient light spirit arrays, even the Star Demon God's great prophecy could not discern the truth of this place, so the Demon God Emperor naturally could not sense that he had used the power of divine punishment.

“Destruction…” Xiao Huo murmured, “Is this the demigod inheritance you obtained?”

Moonlight shook her head: "No. What I inherited is more about the understanding and application of lightning. The lightning of divine punishment is something I was born with, while the lightning of divine retribution came from a chance encounter."

Xiao Huo nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Your comprehension is extremely high. You have not been confined to the ordinary skill system and have already forged your own path. Once you truly reach the ninth rank, level five and comprehend the true meaning of 'Domain as Myself,' I'm afraid even I will find it difficult to contend with you."

Even someone as powerful as him couldn't completely resist the power of the destructive lightning. That's why the pair of spiritual swords were annihilated just now.

“Oh, right,” Xiao Huo suddenly remembered something and asked, “you still haven’t told us what brings you here.”

"Since the Holy War has lasted for nearly four years and has not yet ended, and now that the Holy Temple Federation has been newly established and the six Divine Seal Thrones have each been claimed, we have decided... it is time to launch a counterattack." Moonbeam's tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable determination.

"However, with the Federation's current strength, it is not yet sufficient to simultaneously confront the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan, the Moon Demon Clan, and the Star Demon Clan. After much discussion, we hope to invite our ancestors to come out of seclusion and lend a helping hand to the human race!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the eternal heroes in the cave shone brightly.

"Finally... is it time for us to come in handy?"

"Please rest assured, our ancestors," Moonbeam solemnly said, "we are ready to make your deeds public throughout the Federation, so that all people may know all that you have done for the human race."

He had already begun planning to spread the legends of Eternal Dawn, Elex, and the Eternal Heroes throughout the Federation through magical images, both to enhance cohesion and to vindicate them.

“No need.” Xiao Huo shook his head calmly. “If we cared about empty fame, we wouldn’t have chosen to become the dead and slumber here for thousands of years. Over thousands of years, we have long seen through the vanity of worldly fame. We can go to war, but there is no need to make our existence public—we have our own ways to conceal our identities.”

Yuehui hesitated, then simply nodded in silence.

The powerful and prominent female spirit standing to the side spoke up at this moment: "Old Xiao is right. We have long since let go of worldly fame. But... our life's learning should not be cut off."

"This time, we may be making our final appearance in the mountains. Therefore, we hope that each of us can choose a successor to pass on this strength and will."

"There's no need for a formal apprenticeship ceremony, but the chosen person must possess exceptional comprehension and a pure heart. I don't care about others, but you at least need to find me someone—no less capable than yourself!"

“Uh…” Yuehui scratched his head helplessly, looking troubled. “It is a great thing for the Federation that our ancestors are willing to pass on their unique skills. However… it may be difficult to find someone who is on par with me.”

He possesses the bloodlines of both humans and demons, and thanks to Elex, he has the Heart of Eternity and the constitution of a Child of Light.

He's not bragging, but at his age, even the current Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu might not be stronger than him!

The first Temple Master of the Magic Temple, Shaka, suddenly chuckled: "Child, you've been fooled. Shu Yongxiao isn't looking for someone 'no worse than you,' she clearly has her eye on that little girlfriend you mentioned before! She's afraid someone will steal her disciple, so she spoke up first. After all, she was the first Temple Master of the Assassin Temple."

Upon hearing this, Yuehui's suspicions were confirmed, and she couldn't help but smile: "Cai'er will definitely be fine. I think she will be very happy to learn from you."

“Ahem,” Xiao Huo quickly took over the conversation, his tone serious, “In that case, I will guide Long Haochen, who has gained the approval of the throne of the God of Eternity and Creation.”

With the two of them taking the lead, the other Eternal Heroes couldn't sit still any longer. They all gathered around, chattering amongst themselves as they circled Moonbeam and focused their attention on the other members of his "Eternal Dawn" demon hunter team.

This is not surprising—a group of young people with an average age of just over thirty have all entered the ninth rank, which is considered to be unparalleled geniuses even in their glorious era.

Such promising talents, once missed, are truly gone forever.

Having slept for thousands of years, one's skin has long since become as hard as a rock.

At this moment, these seniors disregarded all decorum and immediately began to scramble for it.
