Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 629 Breakthrough

Then he took out tens of millions of spirit stones from the Northern Wilderness Holy Emperor's storage ring and put them into his own spatial ring.

Finally, Xu Yao turned his gaze to the deepest room.

The room was filled with all sorts of treasures, and in the center of those treasures stood an ancient and elegant palace.

That is where the Northern Wilderness Holy Emperor secluded himself. Although the Northern Wilderness Holy Emperor is dead, his seclusion place is still well preserved.

"I wonder what treasures are inside?" Xu Yao licked his lips and slowly pushed open the door.

He froze the moment he opened the door, only to find dozens of water vats in the room.

The water tank was filled with a bright green liquid, and several spiritual plants were placed next to it.

"This is dragon blood grass?" Xu Yao's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in disbelief.

This spiritual plant is extremely rare and requires a dragon vein to grow.

It greatly improves the physical body after consumption and can even help the body break through its limitations.

If one possesses a Dragon Blood Grass, even a martial artist at the peak of the Martial King realm would find it extremely beneficial.

It can enhance a martial artist's physical strength.

"We've really struck gold this time! We actually found so much Dragon Blood Grass!" Xu Yao exclaimed excitedly.

Dragon's blood grass is more than ten times more expensive than other medicinal herbs.

But for Xu Yao now, it is a priceless treasure that is hard to come by.

"Huh? Why is there another note?" He noticed a piece of white paper at the bottom of the water tank.

The white paper bore three lines of text: "We cultivators defy fate, seize the creation of heaven and earth, and live against the yin and yang."

Barring unforeseen circumstances, I will surely set foot on the stars and the sea, seeking eternal immortality and a carefree world.

However, we cultivators have long lifespans, yet we are unable to set foot on the stars and the sea.

I left behind a legacy, and only those who pass the test can inherit my mantle.

"Inheritance?" Xu Yao was taken aback, but then he realized what he meant.

It seems that the Holy Emperor of the Northern Wilderness intends to use this inheritance to cultivate his disciples.

However, the Holy Emperor of the Northern Wilderness clearly did not expect that the mantle he left behind would benefit Xu Yao.

"Haha..." Xu Yao laughed wildly, looking up at the sky.

"Since you have left behind your legacy, then I will take your place in protecting this land."

Xu Yao turned and walked towards the door, but he stopped when he reached the doorway.

"Who?" he shouted, turning around abruptly.

"Heh, you're quite wary." A light laugh rang out.

Two figures, a man and a woman, followed closely behind and entered the room.

"The Northern Wilderness Holy Emperor's cave is indeed extraordinary!" the man said, looking at the pile of pills on the table.

"Who are you?" Xu Yao asked coldly.

"Who am I? I may tell you, I am Bei Cang, the ruler of the Northern Wilderness Holy Dynasty!" the man said with a smile.

"The Holy Lord of the Northern Wilderness?" Xu Yao's pupils contracted.

His mood turned serious; this was the overlord of the Northern Wilderness!

“We’ve come here simply to borrow your treasure vault and cave dwelling,” Bei Cang said.

"Why should I?" Xu Yao raised an eyebrow.

"Just based on this." Bei Cang waved his hand as soon as he finished speaking.

Ripples spread across the void behind it, and then a golden sword slowly emerged, radiating a dazzling golden light.

"A semi-sacred weapon!" Xu Yao's pupils contracted as he looked at the golden sword in Bei Cang's hand; he recognized the golden sword.

"Who exactly are you?" Xu Yao asked in a deep voice.

"The one who will kill you!" Bei Cang said with a smile.

“You are a member of the Taixu Holy Sect!” Xu Yao said with a grim expression.

"I suppose so!" Bei Cang said calmly.

"I never imagined that the inheritance of the dignified Northern Wilderness Holy Emperor would actually be obtained by the Taixu Holy Sect!" Xu Yao sighed.

“You’re wrong. The inheritance of the Northern Wilderness Holy Emperor was obtained by my master. Your Taixu Holy Sect is just benefiting from it,” Bei Cang said, shaking his head.

"I see!" Xu Yao nodded.

"Your Taixu Holy Sect is truly despicable, actually taking advantage of my master's absence to launch a sneak attack on him!"

"It was truly an injustice that my master died at your hands, but my master said before he died that I would avenge him!"

“You certainly deserve revenge,” Bei Cang nodded.

The Northern Wilderness Holy Emperor was an eighth-level Martial King, possessing unparalleled strength. Even his master had to be somewhat wary of him.

It's a pity that the Holy Emperor of the Northern Wilderness died too early; otherwise, even if the patriarch of the Taixu Holy Sect came here in person, he might not have been able to do anything to him.

"In that case, you should go and keep your master company," Bei Cang said with a smile.

After saying that, he activated his semi-saint weapon and slashed at Xu Yao.

"Hmph, it's still uncertain who will emerge victorious," Xu Yao sneered, and charged directly towards Bei Cang.

"Boom!" The two clashed, unleashing dazzling sparks and terrifying energy that raged outwards.

Xu Yao is extremely strong. Although he has not reached the Martial Emperor realm, he is only a step away from that realm.

However, Bei Cang was only a Martial Emperor at the early stage of the sixth rank, so his attack was blocked.

"You actually possess such strength; no wonder you were able to kill the Holy Emperor." Bei Cang's eyes narrowed slightly, filled with a strong aura of killing intent.

"Enough with the nonsense, let's fight. I want to see what you've got up your sleeve," Xu Yao said sternly.

"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish." A cold expression appeared on Bei Cang's face.

His body grew taller, exuding an overwhelming murderous aura.

At the same time, the blood in his body began to boil, as if an ancient ferocious beast was being resurrected.

"Kill!" Bei Cang roared, his figure flashing like lightning as he pounced on Xu Yao.

Xu Yao also rushed forward without hesitation, and the two engaged in a fierce battle.

Both were exceptional talents, and their battles were earth-shattering and shook the surrounding area.

Xu Yao extended his palm and unleashed a surging, vast wave that swept outwards, heading straight for the throat of Bei Cang.

Bei Cang raised his hand and threw a punch, and blazing flames roared out.

The collision of fists and palms created a violent ripple, and a tremendous force poured out, causing Bei Cang to retreat continuously.

"This guy's strength is terrifying," Bei Cang thought to himself.

Bei Cang's power was extremely strong, but he couldn't gain the slightest advantage against Xu Yao.

Moreover, Xu Yao's physical strength was in no way weaker than Bei Cang's.

Bei Cang was still young and had no famous teachers to guide him, so in terms of strength, he was no match for Xu Yao, a seasoned veteran who had lived for five hundred years.

"Who exactly are you? You can't possibly have such formidable power at such a young age, unless you're one of those monstrous geniuses!" Xu Yao said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Bei Cang's expression changed. He did not want anyone else to know about this matter.

Because if someone finds out about this, it could cause quite a bit of trouble.

After all, these monstrous talents are not people that anyone can mess with.

Especially for a prodigy like Xu Yao with astonishing potential, with just a little nurturing, he is destined to become famous throughout the world.

Therefore, these people basically formed alliances to fight against the enemy together.
