This enormous werewolf, though outwardly imposing, was actually quite perceptive. While he harbored immense curiosity about the shooting star, he refrained from rash action. Firstly, Kelvin was indeed a formidable opponent; secondly, the match hadn't been going on for very long, and if they went all out so early, how could they possibly have the energy to last until the end?

The blonde girl on his body didn't seem to care at all. Her eyes were clear, yet filled with countless thoughts. A smile played on her lips: "So what? Just follow along. There definitely won't be just a few people coming. Add to that the cannon fodder who came here without knowing anything, and there will definitely be more than ten of them. Surely, among those ten, there will be a few who can compete for a top-ten spot?"

"You're right, just follow along. Anyway, we don't need to go out and find someone to survive until the end!" The werewolf straightened his huge body, and while he was confident, every muscle contained explosive and terrifying power, proving this point.

The blonde girl couldn't help but smile and stroked the werewolf's face: "Yes, we are the strongest, the strongest. How could anyone defeat us? We just need to save some energy."

After saying this, the large and small duo quickly followed the direction the giant bat was heading. For some reason, it was difficult to track such a huge body running across the vast plain. It seemed that the giant wolf had blended into the environment and was undetectable.

...

Meanwhile, in another direction.

The saintess and her two little followers continued their leisurely journey. They felt there was no need to rush; what was the point?

Because of their slow progress, they encountered quite a few other contestants along the way. Fortunately, the average strength of these contestants was outside the top 50, meaning they weren't exactly top-tier fighters. The Saintess, who could rival the first wave of inheritors, could easily eliminate them—in fact, almost instantly.

It was precisely because of this posture that the Saintess received a great deal of cheers. However, it only lasted for a short while, because the Saintess was ultimately not the successor. In the eyes of the world, the successor now represented the strongest power, even though the Saintess's personal talent and opportunities were not weak. But she still couldn't compare to the successor; this was an era where the successor was king.

It's unclear when it started, but this world has become an era led by successors.

in other words.

This land, with its remnants from ancient civilizations, has guided global trends!

Many people understand this, but the pinnacle of power still inspires ambition. Even if there's a trend of being guided by ancient civilizations, people still want to try! After all, having power is truly a good thing.

###473. The Saintess's Intimidating Power###

"Holy Maiden, we've arrived, but it seems there's nothing there except for a huge pit. Did someone take it all? We've made a wasted trip."

The chubby-cheeked girl circled the huge meteorite crater and found that not only was there nothing in the crater, but there weren't even any footprints left by someone who had walked in, meaning that no one had ever been to this crater.

"Hmm? These footprints?"

The chubby-cheeked girl suddenly noticed a row of footprints and paused for a moment. She said to the saintess, "There's a row of footprints here, but strangely, they're not going from the outside in, but from the inside out. What's going on? Could it be that someone from inside the meteorite came down from the sky and then walked out?"

"Who knows? This meteorite might actually be a person. After landing here, it's bound to leave!" The petite girl, who also liked to argue, jokingly remarked.

Her unintentional remark stirred a slight ripple in the heart of the saintess beside her.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed at some point, and she said in a low voice, barely audible to herself, "What is this? Making such a big fuss, don't they know this place is like a battlefield? This will definitely attract a lot of troublesome guys. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to handle later!"

"Hey! There are actually three people here. If I get eliminated, I'll definitely become famous all over the world."

Just then, a voice rang out from behind the three of them. A burly man equipped with mechanical gauntlets stood behind them, his face contorted in a ferocious grin.

In the burly man's eyes, the three frail-looking girls seemed like an easy target. After all, in the world of supernatural beings, men are usually stronger than women. Therefore, this burly man, who considered himself exceptionally powerful, didn't think he couldn't handle these three women!

But reality slapped him hard in the face.

"Get away! Get away!"

The saintess was feeling a little unhappy but had nowhere to vent, and then she saw someone coming to cause trouble. So she wasn't going to be polite. Without saying a word, she simply waved her slender hand a few times in the air!

boom!

With a deafening roar, like an invisible mountain crashing down, a huge crater appeared in the ground. The giant who had just been there was reduced to a pile of minced meat and vanished from the world.

"this--"

The other superhumans who were slowly approaching were stunned when they saw this scene. Although the strong man was not particularly strong, he was by no means weak. They knew how terrifying it was to kill him in an instant.

Some powers can kill instantly...

And she's a woman...

They pondered for a moment, and although they hadn't yet seen through the energy veil that concealed the saintess's form, they already had a preliminary image in their minds.

"The ethereal Saintess!"

"This woman is not to be trifled with. She possesses terrifying strength comparable to some of the first wave of inheritors. Even the first wave of inheritors would hesitate and consider retreating when facing her. Not to mention someone of our level."

The supernatural beings who slowly approached, upon learning the Saintess's identity, looked on with immense apprehension. The reason the Ethereal Saintess was on par with the first wave of inheritors was because even they felt they might not be able to defeat her. This demonstrated just how powerful she was. If the Saintess were to obtain the ancient inheritance, who knows what the world would become?

"Humph!"

The saintess's nasal sound, seemingly a girl's delicate hum, was like a thunderbolt to the ears of the approaching supernatural beings, causing them to be temporarily blinded.

Looking around, this group of grown men stopped in their tracks, not daring to move forward an inch, all because of that one delicate groan.

"Did the Holy Maiden take this? If she did, it's troublesome. Unless the original inheritor is present, our strength alone might not be enough, especially since the Holy Maiden is from the cultivation world. There are quite a few people from the cultivation world here this time. If they band together, the other forces..."

"Stop talking nonsense, stop talking nonsense. This kind of thing is none of our business. Anyway, let's retreat! The other party is the Holy Maiden. It would be the most foolish thing for us to attack. Everyone knows that the Holy Maiden's strength is unfathomable. Even the original inheritor doesn't dare to say that he can figure her out! Why would we be crazy enough to test her? That would be suicide! In this virtual world, there is no psychological pressure to kill. Do you think the Holy Maiden would be as gentle as she is in the outside world and wouldn't dare to kill?"

"Stay away and keep an eye on them, but don't get too close. The Holy Maiden... it's fortunate that we met a gentle Holy Maiden. If we had encountered any of the other original inheritors, we might have had a serious fight."

...

The saintess remained unmoved by the whispers around her. Ever since she had given that annoying guy a sound beating, her reputation had resounded throughout the entire supernatural world, making her the only non-inheritor who could still subdue the original inheritor.

"Let's go!"

The saintess gave the order and headed in the direction she most wanted to go. Her cherry-colored lips pursed slightly, a mixture of excitement, confusion, and, more than anything, curiosity and anger. She had a feeling that he hadn't even told her he was coming to a place like this. Did he really think that now that she was a saintess, she didn't want her brother anymore? Or had he found someone new and no longer cared about her?

hiss!

No, thinking like this can easily make people angry! Let's go quickly!

...

On another part of the plains, Chu Xing, carrying Wen Xiaohua, couldn't move very fast. He was only slightly faster than Wen Xiaohua himself, enough to shake off Qin Chou. He wasn't intentionally increasing his speed significantly, because he wasn't trying to escape for his life; why would he need to go that fast?

On the contrary, Chu Xing actually hoped that someone would come over and exercise with him later.

"Hey! Bro, from here we can see something with a really big head approaching us about four kilometers away!"

Wen Xiaohua exclaimed in surprise. He had just turned his head to look behind him and saw a small black creature approaching them. This immediately put him on alert.

"Big Head?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xing paused slightly and looked behind him. His eyesight was far superior to Wen Xiaohua's, and he immediately recognized that it was a giant bat!

"Good heavens, there are bats here! And... there's a person up there too."

Chu Xing grabbed a large tree nearby, muttered incantations, and then slammed the tree down on the giant bat that was still approaching.

Before Wen Xiaohua could react, his older brother had already disappeared from his side.

"Holy crap, what happened in that split second?"

As Wen Xiaohua stood there, disheveled in the wind, he felt a sudden blur before his eyes, and then everything vanished.

###474. Kelvin's Roar###

"That thing is..."

Kelvin stood atop the giant bat, his eyes narrowed as he watched an object approaching him. A vast and destructive surge of spiritual energy condensed at his fingertips, which he then unleashed like a shooting star, hurtling towards the unidentified object before him.

boom!

With an explosion, Kelvin nodded in satisfaction, but before she could realize that a different kind of ripple had appeared in the smoke from the explosion, a figure as fast as lightning, which even he could not see clearly, arrived in front of him and crashed into him.

Without the smoke from the explosion, Kelvin might have been able to see the attacker's path and dodge. However, because of the smoke, the distance was too close, preventing him from noticing the approaching attacker immediately and thus losing the crucial window for defense.

But that doesn't matter!

Kelvin was filled with pride. He was one of the first inheritors; could he really be defeated by a single sneak attack? Absolutely not! Even if he couldn't win, no one could stop him if he wanted to leave! As one of the very first inheritors, he spoke with absolute confidence. This was his undeniable strength, the confidence of a first-generation inheritor!

However, among the people he envisioned, there was never such an unscientific, supernatural being who surpassed everything in the world today!

Whoosh!

Chu Xing's feet seemed to tread on lightning as he charged across the ground. Using the smoke from the explosion, he rapidly approached Kelvin, his palm gathering a twisted power capable of destroying everything. The moment he reached the giant bat, he slammed it down, the power containing various elemental energies unleashing an unparalleled explosive force!

Under this force that shouldn't exist in this world, not only did Kelvin not have time to react, but even the powerful bat beneath him, whose strength was at the ninth step, was caught off guard and had its wings blasted through. With a painful howl, it fell from the blue sky.

"what!"

Kelvin was shocked. It was a ridiculous joke; even her giant bat had been knocked down, and he hadn't even seen what his opponent looked like. Wasn't it ironic that he considered himself one of the earliest inheritors, possessing the most powerful strength in the world? But what happened this time? He hadn't even seen what his opponent looked like before being knocked down from the sky and falling into a disadvantageous position.

This feeling of suffocation made Kelvin extremely unhappy. He seemed to recall everything that happened on a certain day in a certain month of a certain year, the moment when he was brutally trampled underfoot by a pair of hateful siblings! That extremely suffocating feeling swirled in his heart, and anger quietly arose, filling his entire being.

"boom!"

Kelvin landed on the ground, and immediately his power ignited like flames. His eyes turned bloodshot, and his four teeth slowly grew longer. Two holes tore in his clothes at the back, revealing a pair of enormous wings, over fifteen meters long! Kelvin's vampire form was fully revealed at this moment!

His posture was truly ferocious, as terrifying as a demon emerging from hell. He didn't care about any of that anymore. As the smoke and sand fell, he gradually saw a figure about 50 meters away, silently staring at him.

Ugh, I'm extremely annoyed again.

What kind of attitude is this? Don't they know what kind of being he is? Staring at him like that, is it because they look down on him? It seems necessary to let the other party know what the pinnacle of this world is, and why the original inheritor has the power to surpass everyone else!

Kelvin launched himself into the air with a powerful leap, his wings flapping and generating thrust that gave him a terrifying supersonic speed in a short period of time!

kill!

Kelvin's bloodshot eyes seemed to be dripping blood, and his fingernails were constantly growing longer, like short daggers. Although they were small, they were absolutely lethal. Once they were cut, it was unlikely that anything could escape the fate of being split in two!

With his hands raised high, Kelvin plunged his dagger-like fingertips into the smoke. His bloodthirsty eyes revealed no mercy; he wanted to kill right now and was convinced he could!

But things didn't go as planned!

The smoke finally dissipated, and the sand and stones returned to the ground. The person standing there held a long spear in his hand. In the moment of his daze, he thrust out with the spear!

puff!

Because Kelvin had some breastplates or similar items on him, he didn't die from the first shot. Instead, he was thrown hundreds of meters away and squatted on the spot, coughing up blood.

"you--"

Kelvin pointed at the figure a hundred meters away, his face showing disbelief.

How did this person end up in front of him again?

why!

Kelvin roared inwardly, recalling the humiliating events of the past, and he longed for revenge. But in their recent clash, he realized that even after so many years, he didn't seem to have a 100% chance of defeating his opponent!

This guy... is still as unfathomable as he was back then!

"No way! I'm one of the first inheritors, I won't be defeated so easily!"

Kelvin gritted his teeth. He couldn't believe he'd failed so easily, failed twice against the same person! He was a successor! A successor revered by countless people! What was this man anyway?! How dare he be so arrogant in front of him!
