Chu Xing tilted his head back and retorted directly. What did these ancient rules have to do with him? Just a few minutes ago, he was thinking about how to roast and eat this little dragon, and he certainly wouldn't feel any awe just because it was a Chinese dragon.

No way! At most, would they have the desire to devour it, or even a sense of awe?

Ha, does Chu Xing still remember how this little dragon's mother looked when she died in front of him? He doesn't think the little dragon is anything special; it was only born into this world because of its mother's love, care, and high hopes for the future. Without these, a snake is still just a snake. To think it can soar through the heavens and become a true dragon is simply wishful thinking.

Take this ancient behemoth before us, for example. It clearly understands the difference between a dragon and a snake; it is a snake without the right opportunity. Even after so many years, it has only sprouted two small horns on its head and has not yet transformed into a dragon. It has truly suffered from the disadvantages of its bloodline.

"you--"

The giant serpent was enraged. It believed that since Chu Xing possessed such immense strength, he must also have some knowledge of the ancient times. In its view, anyone with such power in this era was either a being from ancient times or a lucky individual who had received the inheritance of a powerful figure from that era!

Dragons were the kings of beasts in that era. Even among the intelligent races of that time, dragons were a noble species, despite their superior strength. Their noble bloodline remained a significant factor, especially since dragon blood and soul were believed to grant immortality, even eternal life.

Of course, besides these contributions, the dragon race also made many significant contributions in ancient times, which are the foundation for their reverence by all living things. Even disregarding their bloodline, these contributions alone are enough to make the dragon race a superior race.

Seeing the giant snake's appearance, Chu Xing suddenly had an idea. He took a step forward, reached out and grabbed the little dragon by the neck, and said coldly to the giant snake, who was stunned for a moment, "To be honest, I obtained this dragon by chance. To me, it's like a pet. But to your era, it seems to be very precious and something that should be revered, right?"

If I killed it right in front of you, do you think it would be a blow to you? Wouldn't all the creatures that once fought alongside you think you were worthless, watching a dragon die right before their eyes?

"Gan!"

The giant serpent couldn't help but utter a curse. How could someone be so shameless? Are all races this shameless nowadays? Don't they have any respect for the superior races that have made countless contributions to the world? Or is this person the only scoundrel?

It's not that he's a scoundrel, the important thing is that this scoundrel is quite powerful! The giant serpent weighed the situation in its mind. It didn't have the strength to defeat Chu Xing 100%, nor did it have the ability to directly snatch the little dragon!

And, as Chu Xing had predicted, it deeply revered the ancient dragon race. Even its relentless path of evolution was ultimately aimed at emulating the dragons. This was because the dragons not only represented strength and bloodline advancement, but also held a revered status. In the giant serpent's eyes, dragons also symbolized responsibility and commitment. In ancient times, powerful dragons had led the charge, solving countless celestial problems and laying the foundation for the ancient world. Therefore, they had been loved and respected throughout countless ages!

Looking at Chu Xing again, although this little guy looked rather weak, the light in his eyes truly held killing intent. Moreover, the killing intent left by countless battles was exceptionally strong; it would be impossible to possess such a strong killing intent without having killed hundreds of thousands, even millions. This immediately made the giant serpent's heart leap! It began to feel that Chu Xing might actually kill the little divine dragon without a word! Especially since the killing intent in Chu Xing's eyes was constantly increasing, making the giant serpent feel as if the little divine dragon's life would end in the next moment!

The descendants of the dragon clan must never die in front of me!

The giant serpent roared inwardly, lowering its body and glaring at Chu Xing with eyes as large as a car, its cold-blooded indifference fully revealed: "Kid, you're shameless enough, I admit defeat. But I'll also tell you, the ancient treasure is a secret realm created by countless races in ancient times, using one-fifth of their resources. Even if you control me, you can't possibly possess this ancient treasure. Among those guys behind, there really are a few ferocious beings from ancient times; when they get ruthless, they're not afraid of these threats!"

"No, no, I think you've misunderstood. Actually, I don't want anything. I just want to ask you some questions."

Chu Xing released his grip on the little dragon, gently patted its head as it looked at him with a pitiful expression, and looked into its enormous eyes. He said, "I just want to understand the structure of the ancient treasure. Why are the first three levels all challenge matches, but this one is like a secret realm? And the first three levels are all systems, but on this level, I only see you. I'm quite curious about these things, and I hope you can give me an answer."

"that's it?"

"Of course that's all, what else do you think?"

The giant serpent was immediately incredulous! Good heavens, they'd even threatened a dragon's life, and this was all they got? A dragon! A dragon! They'd traded a dragon's life for this little bit of information! This guy really doesn't treat dragons like dragons! What's wrong with this world? Such an ancient, superior race shouldn't have been wiped out without a trace, even after an era! They should be a totem! How come they seem so worthless now?

call--

Suck--

The giant serpent took a deep breath to regulate its breathing, lest it be enraged to death. It continued, "I don't know either, but what I can offer here is a complete inheritance. Weapons, combat skills, cultivation memories, and my assistance as the partner of the previous owner of this inheritance. The rest should be the same. All of our inheritances are left behind by the most powerful beings of ancient times, the ninth-step great beings. You can weigh the weight of this yourself."

###450. Anyway, I'm not short of opportunities, so I'll pass.###

Inheritance, a complete inheritance! Weapons, combat skills, cultivation memories, and even a giant snake that looks like an old man with a white beard…

"If you threw this into a fantasy novel, it would be the protagonist template!"

Chu Xing punched his palm, clicking his tongue in amazement. This was an ancient treasure, a truly immense opportunity. If someone with such good fortune reached these levels, it would be like having a protagonist's script, embarking on a wildly arrogant and domineering life of rampage.

Opportunity.

This thing is really important! No talent, no brains, it doesn't matter, but without the right opportunity, nothing works! Because once the opportunity arrives, none of these things matter. Even a creature, a complete waste of space, can thrive as long as it has a giant snake as a companion!

Fortunately, Chu Xing had encountered many fortuitous opportunities along the way. Especially Hatsune Miku; she was far more powerful than Kobe Bryant's entire ancient treasure trove. Therefore, Chu Xing didn't have a deep understanding of these opportunities, adopting a rather indifferent attitude. If he could obtain them, great; if not, so be it.

Seeing that Chu Xing was attacking himself, the giant serpent actually thought that he was shocked by the inheritance beneath the snow. It reverted to its previous arrogant and disdainful demeanor: "Ignorant child, are you shocked? This is the brilliance of my ancient times, this is a realm that your era cannot even imagine. Even a random thread of inheritance left behind is the inheritance of a ninth-step great power."

Chu Xing could naturally see through the giant snake's thoughts, and smiled indifferently, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, only the ninth step. It might fool something of your level, but in front of me, this is not a remarkable opportunity."

"Tsk! He's really stubborn!"

The giant snake thought Chu Xing was just being stubborn, but in reality, it was already completely shocked and disoriented.

"So, is the next inheritance going to be the same? And you're standing in front, so your inheritance probably isn't that powerful, is it? It's weaker than the ones that follow." Chu Xing tilted his head to the side, seemingly trying to see if there were any other inheritances behind the giant serpent.

The giant serpent, surprisingly, wasn't angry at these words. Instead, it spoke with disdain: "Ignorant brat, how dare you speak like that! Those who can reach the ninth step are all at the pinnacle of the world. How can someone like you casually discuss their strengths and weaknesses! There is no strongest ninth-step expert. These great beings each possess unique strengths in their respective domains. Sometimes they are the strongest, and sometimes they are the weakest. It all depends on attribute counters. How can there be a distinction between the strongest and the weakest?"

Is that how it is?

Chu Xing nodded slowly. Just now, he had received important news: a ninth-step powerhouse possessed something called a domain. Perhaps in reality he didn't truly understand this concept, but in novels, he had seen domains, personal spaces, and the like far too often!

From this, Chu Xing could deduce what the so-called ninth-step great power's domain was roughly like! Hmm, as expected, ordinary people, as long as they have imagination, can even guess at realms that are unattainable! So, being born as a human really means you have to indulge in wild fantasies from time to time; who knows, you might just stumble upon the world's most powerful beings?

"Is this the kind of inheritance that follows? Are there any rare treasures hidden behind it? Such rare treasures shouldn't be left to gather dust here. Someone as powerful as me should bring out such unparalleled artifacts for the world to worship!" Chu Xing kicked the snow on the ground, his pupils narrowing as if he wanted to see through this ancient treasure and uncover all its secrets!

"Of course, it's not just about inheritance, but you can forget about those things!"

The giant serpent straightened its body, adopting a defensive posture, seemingly warning Chu Xing. Its solemn and formal voice said, "Those things hold profound significance, representing a cultural essence and a will. If you lack the opportunity to sense them, then please do not touch them! These belong to others, things connected to their bloodlines!"

As for the rare treasures you mentioned, there really aren't any. When the great powers of ancient times left this planet, they certainly didn't leave empty-handed! Leaving behind weapons and legacies that would accompany them throughout their lives is a sacrifice in itself. Do you really expect them to leave behind something of utmost value? Think again. Their journey after leaving this planet wasn't smooth sailing either. They undoubtedly faced many dangers in the future. Without some treasures for self-defense, they would be in serious trouble.”

"Well, it seems there's nothing fun to do down there, huh?" Chu Xing shrugged, looking bored.

Is this reasonable? Is this reasonable? Such a huge ancient treasure trove, and yet there isn't even a single rare gem!

That's not right. He sensed something unusual when he was outside. Logically, there should have been some good stuff there!

Can…

Chu Xing's eyes flickered slightly for a moment. He could tell that the snake in front of him had a very serious expression. It seemed that the good things left behind might really be something given to future generations by others, rather than just a simple contribution!

hiss!

Chu Xing thought about it and realized he wasn't lacking in opportunities. He didn't need to compete with humans for them; getting a couple of ancient divine weapons to play with would already be quite good! After all, if he got too many good things, wouldn't he be the first to rush to the front lines in the event of a major disaster?

This won't do! This is unacceptable! Chu Xing wants to be a lazy bum! He can roam freely in other worlds, but here he'll obediently stay in his own little corner of the world! After all, there are people in this world he cherishes, and he can't let them be wasted!

At this point, the three days and three nights were almost up. In the ancient treasure trove, time was truly worthless; it would slip away in the blink of an eye.

That's understandable. A challenge can be quick at times, or it can be a back-and-forth battle. After a few hundred moves, it can take up most of the day.

"Oh, right."

Chu Xing then thought of another problem and asked the giant snake, "Hey, do you know how to raise this dragon I have? What does it eat? Can I even keep it alive? If it eats too much, then I'll have to consider eating it. Besides, this dragon doesn't seem very smart. Who knows if raising it will just be a waste of my resources and not do me any good at all?"

"That's a dragon!"

The giant snake shuddered and roared!

This is outrageous! Other people would be so happy to get a baby dragon they couldn't sleep at night, dreaming about it with silly grins. And this ignorant brat actually complains! Is this something a human being should do?

###451. Gone, gone###

In ancient times, dragons, due to their superior bloodline, were beings whose first-stage power could easily defeat those of the fourth stage! Before reaching the ninth stage and possessing their own personal domain, who dared to say they could defeat a dragon? Even the weakest among the flood dragons were extremely formidable. Not to mention this fully-formed dragon before us; once it grows stronger, challenging those of higher levels will be a piece of cake.

This is one of the reasons why the giant serpent spent its entire life wanting to become a dragon. Once it becomes a dragon, its strength will increase like a rocket!

But reality is quite cruel. Over countless years, the giant snake has been eating all sorts of rare and precious materials left over from ancient times in the ancient treasure trove, but it has not transformed into a dragon, not even a jiaolong. It is still a long way off.

Of course, the giant serpent wasn't too discouraged by this. After all, among all the beasts in the world, almost none of them had anything to do with dragons. The fact that the giant serpent could show its two small horns was already something that countless creatures envied.

"You rascal..."

The giant snake took a few deep breaths to suppress the surging emotions within it, fearing that the ignorant child in front of it might actually abandon or even eat the dragon.

"Dragons are naturally born and raised, and basically don't need to eat. You don't need to worry about their diet at all. Dragons generally don't eat unless they encounter something with extremely great power, in which case they might eat it to increase their strength. This is true of all things in the world, not just dragons. Just take good care of it. I think this little dragon is a transplanted dragon, so its growth rate will be quite fast. In a few years, you will have a dragon that is over ten meters long as your mount. Wouldn't that be great?"

"Riding a dragon!"

Chu Xing stroked his chin, which was completely free of any beard, and imagined the scene in his mind. Then his eyes lit up: "If that's the case, I'm not sleepy anymore. What you said makes sense. It feels so cool to be riding on a dragon! High-end, classy, ​​and impressive. It would stun everyone the moment I appeared!"

"Stepping on..."

The giant snake's lips twitched. This guy was truly annoying! If this were ancient times, it would definitely summon a large group of ninth-step powerhouses to beat this ignorant junior to a pulp! Damn it, what kind of talk is this! This is utterly ignorant of one's own limitations.

Chu Xing then stopped focusing on the giant snake, reached out and rubbed the little dragon head coiled around his other hand, and said with a smile, "Little dragon, I didn't expect you to grow so fast. In that case, you'd better stay by my side! Don't worry, with your big brother here, you'll definitely eat well and drink well along the way. I'll never treat you badly! As long as this world doesn't suddenly go berserk, I can really bless you with a carefree life!"

"Roar?"

The little dragon tilted its head. It might be very intelligent since it was just born, but it wasn't quick to accept human language. However, it could sense that the person it considered its master was smiling at it, so it obediently responded to Chu Xing, its two tiny horns, no bigger than a thumb, rubbing back and forth in Chu Xing's palm.

"Ugh!"

Seeing this, the giant snake sighed deeply. Why did such an intelligent dragon have to meet such a master? It really was a case of bad luck in choosing a master!

It's only because we're currently trapped in this ancient treasure trove, unable to unleash our full potential, that the giant serpent would definitely have charged forward with gritted teeth. It absolutely cannot let such a simple dragon fall into the hands of Chu Xing's most despicable and ignorant fools! It's infuriating how the world has become like this.

"That's it, I'm leaving! Brother, you continue to wait here for your destined one! If this planet really encounters some great disaster one day, you must properly assist your successor, so that I won't have to stand up to resist some strange things!"

After coaxing the little dragon for a while, Chu Xing was about to leave. Since there was no profit to be made and no questions to ask, why stay here? It was freezing cold, standing here in the wind would freeze someone to death! Especially since Chu Xing wasn't wearing any clothes! He was even more chilled... well, outwardly he seemed okay, but inwardly he was a little cold, which could also be attributed to the freezing weather, right?

Upon hearing this, the giant serpent immediately snorted and said, "Hmph, you can rest assured! My successor is definitely more outstanding than you! Countless times stronger than you! He will strive to shoulder the responsibilities of this world. At the same time, he will also receive the inheritance of my ancient thoughts, and will definitely not be like you, treating even noble dragons like this! You have absolutely no understanding of what etiquette is!"

"cut!"

Chu Xing scoffed. To be honest, it seemed a bit delusional to think someone with only the ninth step of inheritance could be stronger than him. After all, the princess standing above him, whose strength was still a mystery, was many times stronger than this so-called ancient powerhouse!

field?

That's nothing! Is it as powerful as Her Highness's time travel? The power contained in a single scallion from Her Highness could probably kill several of these Ninth Step cultivators in an instant!

Therefore, Chu Xing did not think that the protagonists who obtained the inheritance of the ancient times would be much stronger than him. Now he has the strength to reach the ninth step. When those lucky ones reach the seventh step, he will probably be able to crush the ninth step.

Yes, yes, thinking this way, Chu Xing felt a surge of pride and an invincible feeling.

The giant serpent didn't think much of it. It assumed this ignorant youngster was arrogant and thought himself invincible with such strength. It scoffed and said nothing more. Deep down, it still firmly believed in the inheritance contained within the snow beneath it, believing it was absolutely second to none, and certainly not inferior to an ignorant youth like Chu Xing. This confidence stemmed from its master, and also from the confidence of ancient times!

"goodbye!"

With a goodbye, Chu Xing's figure flickered and disappeared from the snowy landscape.

"Finally gone, that annoying guy!"

The giant snake looked at the spot where Chu Xing had last stood and couldn't help but mutter something. Then, it moved its body, wanting to burrow underground and continue its long sleep that could last for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Just then, the spatial fluctuations caused by the teleportation appeared here once again!

hiss!

The giant serpent exhaled, sensing the arrival of a familiar aura—one it had never seen before, yet which seemed to have been known for a very long time—and froze for a moment…

"The legacy is about to descend upon this world, and disaster is not far behind..."
