Unexpectedly, two Heavenly Venerates of the Lan Family died silently.

Now there were only three paths left; he would use one, leaving only two for the Lan Family Heavenly Venerates.

In this way, his advantage would be completely gone.

Gu Nianshui's eyes flickered, "It seems this is the only way!"

He swept his gaze across them, and the two low-stage Heavenly Venerates of the Lan Family fell to the ground in response, dying on the spot.

The Lan Family Heavenly Venerates had long since become puppets, their lives and deaths entirely in Gu Nianshui's control.

Immediately after, Gu Nianshui took out a magic treasure; the exterior of this treasure looked like a box.

Opening the box, he immediately collected the deceased Lan Family Heavenly Venerates into it, including the two who had died while kneeling on the ground earlier.

After finishing all this, Gu Nianshui took the remaining two Lan Family Heavenly Venerates and stepped onto the stairs.

The stairs were not long, and there was no resistance, so they easily walked onto the altar.

Of the thirty-six Heavenly Venerates, only six remained now.

Two of them were puppets, leaving only four truly living people.

With casualties nearing ninety percent, the Origin Secret Realm was truly a burial ground.

Ten minutes later, the single-horned great dragon swept its cold gaze over them, and its majestic voice slowly rang out, "Rise!"

Accompanied by a rumbling sound, the altar rose from the ground and flew towards the star constellation along the light.

An endless starry sky appeared before them, with a single-horned great dragon dancing within it; it was larger than the stars, and wherever it passed, the starry sky trembled.

In the end, this single-horned great dragon turned into a star filled with killing intent.

Wherever the killing intent passed, nothing could survive, and the starry sky became deathly silent.

Miao Wen exclaimed, "This is the Jiaojiao Constellation!"

Lian Cheng was also moved, "What terrifying killing intent!"

Gu Nianshui was also extremely excited at this moment, as if he were about to obtain the inheritance of Star Lord Jiaojiao.

Lin Moyu's eyes flickered as he murmured to himself, "Jiaojiao Constellation."

His gaze was not just on the Jiaojiao Constellation, but on other things as well.

This starry sky was completely different from the starry sky of the Great World; it belonged to the Origin Continent.

Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi had once said that above the Origin Continent, there were countless constellations; these constellations were neither truly real nor entirely illusory, but existed in a very magical way.

Even after becoming a Heavenly Venerate, one could not enter them.

From the reactions of Miao Wen and Lian Cheng, it was clear that this was indeed the case.

As Heavenly Venerates, they had never truly seen the starry sky above the Origin Continent.

However, cultivators on the Origin Continent all knew that there were countless constellations above the continent, each containing a corresponding inheritance, said to be left behind by true Supreme Experts.

The most famous among them were the inheritances of the Twenty-Eight Constellations; these twenty-eight constellations were also known as the Twenty-Eight Star Lords.

Star Lord Jiaojiao was one of them.

Chapter 2516: He Is About to Give Out

"Star Lord" was an honorific title; in the history of the Origin Continent, most people who could obtain a Star Lord's inheritance would eventually become extremely powerful existences.

Even if they could not surpass their predecessors, they could at least equal them.

Only a very small number would perish halfway.

Lin Moyu believed that Star Lord inheritances depended not only on potential but also on luck.

Conversely, strength was secondary.

His own luck had always been good, and his fortune was sufficiently strong.

Someone like Gu Nianshui, who came from a Sacred Land and was a direct descendant, was also a person of great fortune.

It was hard to say whose fortune was stronger.

However, he had sworn an oath not to contend with Gu Nianshui for the Star Lord inheritance; as long as Gu Nianshui did not provoke him, he would not break his word.

It was just an inheritance; Lin Moyu did not take it too seriously.

The altar flew rapidly through the 'starry sky,' and Lin Moyu naturally understood that he had not entered the real starry sky; this was just an illusion created by the Origin Secret Realm.

Eventually, the altar stopped before the Jiaojiao Constellation, and a single-horned great dragon appeared on the altar once again.

A resonant voice rang out, "Congratulations on passing the test; you all have the qualifications to obtain the inheritance of the Star Lord."

"This Secret Realm was left behind by the third-generation Star Lord Jiaojiao; if any of you obtain the inheritance, you will be the fourth-generation Star Lord."

"Not only will you be able to inherit all of the Star Lord's legacy, but you will also obtain everything in the Secret Realm."

"Now, you will face the final test; the ultimate winner will receive the Star Lord's inheritance."

The expressions of the group changed simultaneously.

They thought of their previous experiences, where the losers had all died.

This time, the winner could obtain the inheritance, but what about the losers? Would they not have to die as well?

The eyes of the four people—Lin Moyu, Miao Wen, Lian Cheng, and Gu Nianshui—instantly became dangerous.

Miao Wen and Lian Cheng exchanged glances, feeling a bit awkward.

The two of them came from the same sect, but now they had to face a life-or-death choice, not knowing how to decide.

Furthermore, they had sworn an oath not to contend with Gu Nianshui for the Star Lord inheritance.

Gu Nianshui's eyes were full of vigilance; although the three of them had sworn not to contend with him for the Star Lord inheritance, with life and death at stake, it was hard to say if they might have other means.

Being able to survive until now among so many Heavenly Venerates meant none of them were simple characters, and Gu Nianshui dared not let his guard down.

He was very clear that a soul oath was not foolproof.

Some secret methods could break a soul oath.

Lin Moyu's eyes were thoughtful as he asked in a clear voice, "What will happen to the losers?"

He had already seen that the great dragon possessed intelligence and was an existence similar to a formation spirit or artifact spirit.

In all likelihood, after Star Lord Jiaojiao died, it had replaced him to find successors and manage the inheritance.

And this Origin Secret Realm could be seen as a place of inheritance.

The great dragon chuckled, "The losers will naturally be eliminated."

"You have already passed the previous tests and have the qualifications to survive, so even if you fail this time, you will not die."

"Not only will you not die, but this Star Lord will also give you sufficient rewards based on your performance."

"However, only one person can obtain my inheritance. Any reward is far inferior to my inheritance."

Hearing this, everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Nianshui was the first to salute the three of them, "Nianshui thanks you seniors for your protection; after we go out, I will definitely tell my grandfather to properly thank you seniors."

By saying this, he appeared to be thanking them, but in reality, he was reminding the three of them not to forget the soul oath they were bound by.

At the same time, he was also telling them that his grandfather was still waiting outside the Origin Secret Realm.

That was a Dao Venerate of a Sacred Land; killing them would be as easy as flipping a hand.

Lin Moyu said, "Since I have sworn an oath, I will naturally abide by it; however, I would also like to try, perhaps I can obtain some good rewards."

The eyes of Miao Wen and Lian Cheng also lit up.

That's right, the oath they made was only not to contend with Gu Nianshui for the Star Lord inheritance.

If they only participated in the final test, as long as they didn't get the best result in the end, it wouldn't count as breaking the oath.

Since that was the case, why not take the final rewards?

Miao Wen said to Gu Nianshui, "Rest assured, although we will also participate in the test, we will not compete with you for the final inheritance; you can be at ease regarding this."

Lian Cheng said, "So you don't need to be so vigilant; it would be better to think about how to deal with the test."

Gu Nianshui breathed a sigh of relief; as long as they still cared about the oath, it was fine.

However, he did not completely relax; heaven knows if they would go back on their word.

When drifting in the outside world, one always needs to be extra cautious to live a long life.

The star before them lit up, and waves of killing intent surged out from it, sweeping over them like a deluge.

The final test had begun, and the great dragon on the altar laughed heartily, "Now begins the infusion of killing intent; if you cannot hold on, you can choose to give up!"

"Do not force yourselves, otherwise, if you are corrupted by the killing intent, you will either die or become an idiot!"

The great dragon laughed wildly, watching the crowd as if it were watching a play.

The killing intent was pervasive, with nowhere to hide.

The precious garment on Gu Nianshui's body shimmered, and the origin crystals lit up one after another, blocking the killing intent.

The killing intent was formless and intangible, existing between the real and the virtual, piercing straight into the soul.

Gu Nianshui's precious garment could even withstand such intense killing intent, which showed its quality; even among Heavenly Venerable Realm magic treasures, it was top-tier.

The remaining two Lan Family Heavenly Venerates were already puppet bodies, having long since lost their own wills, and should not have been affected by the killing intent.

But at this moment, amidst the killing intent, they were teetering, unable to hold on.

Gu Nianshui had no intention of caring about them, letting them die as they pleased.

Miao Wen and Lian Cheng raised black flames, which blocked part of the killing intent and helped them share some of the pressure, allowing the two of them to persist within the killing intent without losing their minds.

However, one could tell from their expressions that they were not having an easy time.

Lin Moyu's body burned with golden flames, which flowed and resisted the killing intent.

Legion Commander No. 1 had already been put away; there was no need for him to endure the impact of the killing intent.

Lin Moyu's performance fell into the eyes of Miao Wen and Lian Cheng, who inwardly sighed that Lin Moyu's own strength was equally incomparably powerful.

They came from the Sinfire Sect and practiced the Sinfire Secret Technique, which could resist part of the killing intent.

And Lin Moyu, besides possessing a Mid-stage Heavenly Venerate puppet, also had very strong personal secret techniques, which could likewise block this killing intent.

It seemed he was even more relaxed than they were.

Gu Nianshui also saw this scene and whispered to himself, "Indeed capable, but no matter how capable you are, the inheritance is destined to be mine; none of you can take it away."

"I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise don't blame this Young Master for being impolite!"

Gu Nianshui's thoughts churned, and various ideas surfaced.

He even thought about what he should do if the three of them did not abide by the soul oath.

He was not worried in the slightest; with the treasures in his hands, let alone a few Heavenly Venerates, even if there were eight or ten more, he could still kill them.

Another wave of killing intent surged over, and the killing intent suddenly became even more intense.

Miao Wen and Lian Cheng let out a soft shout simultaneously, and the Sinfire on their bodies became more intense, but the killing intent that the Sinfire could block was limited, and their pressure was greater than before.

Gu Nianshui's precious garment became brighter, and the origin crystals on his belt shimmered, gushing out even more powerful energy to keep the killing intent at bay.

Suddenly, he saw the golden flames on Lin Moyu's body begin to dim, becoming weaker and weaker.

Gu Nianshui thought to himself, "He is about to give out!"

Miao Wen and Lian Cheng also thought Lin Moyu was about to give out and immediately called out, "Fellow Daoist Lin, be careful!"

Lin Moyu revealed a slight smile, "It is nothing!"

As the words fell, his Undying Golden Body completely extinguished.

The intense killing intent immediately shrouded and devoured Lin Moyu!

Chapter 2517: Your Killing Intent Is Too Weak!

Lin Moyu was swallowed by the killing intent, and the intense killing intent turned into a solid fog; in the blink of an eye, Lin Moyu's figure could no longer be seen.

"He is finished!"

This thought emerged in Gu Nianshui's mind; to be invaded by such intense killing intent, unless Lin Moyu was a Dao Venerate, it was impossible to survive.
