Chapter 368: The Mysterious Inheritance
When Liu Yu regained consciousness, she found herself in a strange space. All around her was a dazzling starry sky, countless stars shimmering with mysterious light, like tiny diamonds scattered across the endless darkness. Each star seemed like a mysterious world, radiating an alluring charm; some bright, some dim, some near, some far, they intertwined to create a magnificent yet unfathomable tapestry.
Liu Yu was filled with doubt. His eyes were confused and wary as he muttered to himself, "Where is this? How did I get here? This is all too incredible." He tried to take a step, but found himself seemingly floating in the void, with no foothold under his feet. The feeling of being suspended filled him with unease and fear of the unknown.
Just then, an ancient and profound voice rang in his ears. The voice seemed to come from the distant past, carrying endless vicissitudes and mystery, like the distant tolling of a bell echoing in the empty valley: "Young man, you have come to the land of inheritance." The voice drifted leisurely in this starry sky, as if it had crossed the barriers of time and space, each syllable carrying a heavy history and endless wisdom.
Liu Yu looked around warily, trying to find the source of the voice, and asked loudly, "Who are you? What is this inheritance? Why was I brought here?" His voice was full of tension and unease, and seemed so small and weak in the vast starry sky.
The voice replied, "I am the master of this ruin. Your arrival is no accident. This statue resembles you because you are the destined inheritor." The voice carried an undeniable majesty and a declaration of destiny, as if it were all a preordained arrangement.
Liu Yu was astonished. His eyes widened in disbelief as he said, "Me? Why me? I'm just an ordinary mortal. How could I be chosen by this mysterious inheritance?" His heart was filled with doubt and confusion. He was extremely shocked and bewildered by this sudden turn of fate.
The voice said, "This is fate's arrangement. Now, accept this inheritance, and you will gain immense power, but you will also bear a great responsibility." The voice carried a hint of seriousness and solemnity, as if it were telling of an extremely important mission.
Liu Yu pondered for a moment, his eyes gradually hardening as if he had made up his mind: "Okay, I'm willing to accept it. Since fate has chosen me, I will not back down." His voice, though not loud, was full of determination and courage, echoing in the mysterious starry sky.
Instantly, a powerful force surged into Liu Yu's body, like a raging tide, unstoppable. He felt as if his body was being torn apart, every inch of his skin and every bone enduring immense pain, as if countless sharp knives were ruthlessly cutting into his body from within. He couldn't help but scream in agony, "Ah!" His voice was shrill and desperate, sounding particularly jarring in the silent starry sky.
In the main hall of the ruins, Bai Suzhen and the others anxiously awaited Liu Yu's awakening. Bai Suzhen's face was full of worry; her beautiful eyes were fixed on Liu Yu's unconscious body, and her hands unconsciously clenched, her fair fingers turning slightly white from the force.
Bai Suzhen said worriedly, "Why hasn't my husband woken up yet? Could something have gone wrong? What will I do if something happens to him?" Her voice trembled slightly, revealing her extreme anxiety. Her voice was like a leaf falling in the wind, swaying and helpless.
Xiaoqing comforted her, "Sister, don't worry. Perhaps this inheritance takes some time. Brother Liu Yu is very lucky and will definitely be alright." Her eyes were also filled with anxiety, but she still tried to force a smile to reassure Bai Suzhen. However, the hilt of her sword, which she gripped tightly, betrayed her inner tension.
Pigsy muttered, "My legs are numb from standing. How long is Liu Yu going to take? I'm so hungry. I really hope he wakes up soon so we can find something to eat." He rubbed his legs as he complained, his fat body swaying slightly from standing for so long.
Xiao Tian, wearing green shorts, barked and circled around everyone's feet, its tail wagging incessantly, as if to say that Liu Yu would be alright.
Inside the inheritance space, Liu Yu gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, sweat pouring down like rain, each drop evaporating instantly in the void, turning into wisps of mist. He struggled to withstand the impact of the power, each breath feeling incredibly difficult, as if a mountain was pressing down on his chest, making it hard to breathe. His consciousness gradually blurred, but the belief in his heart sustained him: "I must get through this, for everyone, for our future." He repeated this sentence over and over in his heart, like chanting a mysterious incantation.
After an unknown amount of time, Liu Yu finally adjusted to the power and slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with exhaustion, but even more so with a renewed strength and determination. His gaze was like the brightest star in the night sky, shining brilliantly despite having weathered storms.
He found that his understanding and control of magic had improved dramatically, as if the whole world was under his control. He could sense every fluctuation of magical power around him and perceive the subtle changes in every spell. This newfound perception excited him and made him feel a great sense of responsibility.
When Liu Yu's consciousness returned to the main hall of the ruins, everyone gathered around. Bai Suzhen was the first to rush forward, her eyes filled with concern and joy. Her steps were light and hurried, like a spring breeze.
Bai Suzhen asked with concern, "Husband, are you alright? Is there anything wrong?" Her voice was gentle and anxious, and her hands gently stroked Liu Yu's face, the touch as soft and warm as a spring breeze.
Liu Yu smiled and replied, "I'm fine, and I've even gained a powerful inheritance. This experience has been incredibly rewarding, and we'll be much more confident in facing future challenges." His voice was full of confidence and joy, and his smile was like sunlight piercing through the clouds, illuminating the entire hall.
Everyone was happy for him, and smiles of relief appeared on their faces. Pigsy grinned and said, "Haha, I knew you could do it!" Little Green also said excitedly, "Now we're really awesome!"
However, before they could even celebrate, the hall began to shake violently. Stones rained down from the ceiling, crashing to the ground like a meteor shower with tremendous noise. Cracks appeared in the floor, as if the earth had opened its monstrous jaws to devour them.
Liu Yu's expression changed, and he shouted, "Something's wrong! There might be new danger. Everyone be careful!" His voice was tense and serious as he quickly entered combat mode, his weapon instantly gleaming.
Cracks appeared in the wall, from which a horde of dark creatures emerged. These creatures varied in form; some had sharp fangs, like razor-sharp daggers, gleaming with a cold light, each seemingly capable of easily tearing a person's throat; others possessed enormous wings, whose flapping created gusts of wind as sharp as blades, stinging one's cheeks; still others had bodies like burning flames, radiating an evil aura, as if igniting the air wherever they went.
Liu Yu shouted, "Everyone, prepare for battle! Protect yourselves!" His voice echoed in the hall, full of authority and courage, like a battle horn, inspiring everyone's fighting spirit.
Everyone picked up their weapons, ready to fight. Bai Suzhen waved her hands, and ice magic instantly condensed into sharp ice blades, which flew towards the dark creature. The ice blades drew beautiful arcs in the air, carrying a biting cold.
Liu Yu unleashed his newly acquired spell, illuminating the entire hall with light. The light was as intense as the sun, and wherever it touched, the dark creatures retreated, their figures twisting and deforming in the light, emitting painful howls.
Xiaoqing nimbly weaved among the enemies, each strike deadly. Her figure was like a ghost, elusive and unpredictable, each sword strike accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, as if tearing slits in the air.
Not to be outdone, Pigsy brandished his nine-toothed rake, striking his enemies and sending them staggering about. He roared, "Behold the might of this old Pig!" The nine-toothed rake in his hands was like a giant windmill, whistling and rattling, each strike carrying immense force.
Wearing green shorts, Xiao Tian barked and would occasionally launch surprise attacks on its enemies. Its small body leaped nimbly among its enemies, making them difficult to defend against, and its teeth and claws could leave deep wounds in an instant.
The battle was extremely fierce, and Liu Yu and his group gradually gained the upper hand. But these dark creatures seemed endless, surging out wave after wave, like a never-ending tide.
Liu Yu thought to himself, "This can't go on. We have to find their source." His eyes were sharp as he fought while observing the situation in the hall. Sweat streamed down his face, but he didn't bother to wipe it away.
Finally, he discovered a black hole hidden in a corner, seemingly the source of the dark creatures. The black hole emitted an eerie light, and dark creatures kept pouring out of it, as if it were the entrance to hell.
Liu Yu shouted, "I'll go block that black hole, you guys hold on!" His voice was firm and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
After saying that, he rushed towards the black hole. Bai Suzhen cried out, "Husband, be careful!" Her voice was filled with worry, a worry that clung tightly to her heart like spider silk.
As Liu Yu approached the black hole, he felt a powerful suction force. The force seemed to pull his very soul in, making it difficult for him to get closer; his body was involuntarily tilted forward by this force.
He exerted all his strength, unleashing powerful magic in an attempt to seal the black hole. Light flickered around his body, resisting the power of the black hole; the light acted as a shield, protecting him from being swallowed by it.
Thanks to Liu Yu's efforts, the black hole's suction gradually weakened. Taking advantage of this, the group intensified their attack on the dark creature, buying Liu Yu time. Their attacks were as dense as a torrential downpour, preventing the dark creature from focusing its efforts.
In the end, Liu Yu successfully sealed the black hole, and the dark creatures ceased to appear. The hall returned to silence, save for the heavy breathing of the crowd and the mess scattered across the floor. The broken stones, bloodstains, and the remains of the dark creatures bore witness to the fierce battle that had just taken place.
Everyone collapsed to the ground, exhausted and panting heavily. Pigsy lay on the ground, panting, and said, "I'm so tired! This is even more tiring than when I was working in Gao Village."
Liu Yu, panting heavily, said, "This was truly a perilous situation. Fortunately, we didn't give up and finally overcame the difficulties." A tired but gratified smile appeared on his face, a smile tinged with the pride of victory.
Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "But thankfully we are all safe and sound. As long as we are together, there is no difficulty that we cannot overcome." Her eyes were gentle yet firm, like the brightest star in the night sky.
Just then, the system's voice rang out: "Congratulations on completing the exploration of the ruins and receiving generous rewards."
A series of flashes of light appeared, revealing various precious magical treasures and cultivation resources before the group. There were gems radiating a mysterious light, their dreamlike colors captivating all who beheld them; ancient magical manuals, their inscriptions shimmering with mysterious power; and all sorts of wondrous pills, each exuding a rich fragrance.
Pigsy shouted excitedly, "Haha, I'm going to be rich now! I can finally have a big feast!" His eyes gleamed with greed, and he couldn't wait to reach out and grab it.
Xiaoqing happily said, "With these, our strength will increase significantly. We won't be afraid of danger anymore!" Her face was beaming with joy as she gripped a sword tightly in her hand.
Xiao Tian, wearing green shorts, ran back and forth between the magical artifacts and resources, barking as if he too was happy about his harvest.
Looking at everyone, Liu Yu felt a surge of satisfaction: "Although this adventure was difficult, the rewards were immense. We must make good use of these resources to become even stronger."
However, what they didn't know was that an even greater challenge awaited them...
