I Stayed At Home For A Century, When I Emerged I Was Invincible
chapter-424-3

The blood fiends became more and more violent, and the battle persisted without any signs of a breakthrough.

The figures of Kingslayer and Chu Pingfan could no longer be seen. Not even the slightest bit of their auras could be sensed.

Many people sighed. The Extreme Dao was finished.

Ding Yue and Wang Luo were puzzled. What exactly was their master doing?

Was he testing Chu Pingfan?

In any case, since their master did not want them to help, the two of them held back.

Chu Pingfan would not be in any danger.

…

Extreme Dao cultivators were rare, but had somehow always appeared during every calamity.

It had never been completely cut off.

It was a common practice for most experts to leave behind an inheritance. However, Kingslayer was anything but common. On the other hand, Chu Pingfan was too young to do so.

Chu Xuan watched silently for any traces of abnormality. He wanted to verify his speculation. In particular, he kept an eye on the Desolate Ancient Zone.

Although the Heavenly Dao laws had seeped into the Desolate Ancient Zone, it was only a tiny bit. The Heavenly Dao laws were masquerading as the laws of Heaven and Earth, and since the latter did not exist in the Desolate Ancient Zone, progress was slow.

Then, just as Kingslayer and Chu Pingfan were about to fall, Chu Xuan sensed something strange entering the nine zones from the Desolate Ancient Zone.

As expected!

There had to be a reason why the Extreme Dao had been preserved up till today. There was someone guarding its legacy.

The wisp of consciousness was very faint and weak, to the point that even Chu Xuan had trouble tracing it.

Chu Xuan followed this wisp of consciousness and quietly probed.

There was no result.

The source of this wisp of consciousness seemed to be from a very dark place.

He was unable to continue investigating.

Chu Xuan examined the wisp of consciousness and made a startling discovery.

"Only his consciousness is left in the nine zones?"

"Is it a dead person's remnant will, or something left behind after escaping the nine zones?"

Chu Xuan could not tell for sure. However, this wisp of consciousness was definitely from an Extreme Dao expert.

The thing was, the wisp of consciousness was not linked to a person. It was just a wandering wisp of consciousness.

No one knew how long it had existed or where it had hidden.

However, the fact that a wisp of consciousness could exist for such a long time was indicative of how powerful the other party was.

He was stronger than Chu Xuan, and had a Dao path that had definitely exceeded 10,000 miles. This was probably why his wisp of consciousness had survived until today.

"The third ancestor?"

Chu Xuan felt that it was him. After all, no one else would bother protecting the Extreme Dao.

That wisp of consciousness did not go over to save Chu Pingfan or Kingslayer. Instead, it created a mystic realm in the nine zones and left the inheritance of the Extreme Dao inside.

It was likely that after Chu Pingfan and Kingslayer died, some mysterious force would guide a genius to this mystic realm to obtain the Extreme Dao inheritance.

"Interesting."

Chu Xuan finally understood why the Extreme Dao had never disappeared completely.

Then, was the Extreme Dao inheritance Kingslayer cultivated obtained from this person or another Extreme Dao cultivator?

Chu Xuan was learning towards the latter. Otherwise, Kingslayer would not have suffered a deviation. He had probably obtained the inheritance of a much weaker Extreme Dao cultivator. Then, when he exceeded that cultivator's strength, he had to forge his own way ahead blindly.

Had it been the third ancestor's inheritance, Kingslayer would not have had problems even all the way up to the Daoyuan realm.

The Extreme Dao was very special.

It was not a specific cultivation method, but simply something that was based on someone's talent and obsession over something.

For example, Chu Pingfan's Saber Extreme Dao. Even if an inheritance was left behind, the inheritor would likely not cultivate the same Extreme Dao.

This was the difference between the Extreme Dao and normal cultivation inheritances.

Incidentally, Chu Pingfan's Extreme Dao inheritance came from the system and was different from other Extreme Dao inheritances. In addition to his innate talent, his Extreme Dao was purer.

After leaving behind the inheritance, the will seemed to hesitate whether to save someone or not.

The person he wanted to save was naturally Chu Pingfan.

No matter how one looked at it, Chu Pingfan had more talent and potential.

In the end, he gave up.

Perhaps he was afraid of being exposed.

His wisp of consciousness returned to the Desolate Ancient Zone and disappeared into the darkness.
