Chapter 1268 - 95: The Battle for Inheritance (Part 6)
Seeing this scene, the Silver Roc Young Clan Leader and those Pengyu warriors all looked at one another in bewilderment.
By about dawn of the second day, the blood on his body began to coagulate, and brand‑new, elastic skin grew back over him.
Only to see Boss Peng Yu let out a long howl; he spread both arms, and golden feathers like pure gold transformed into a pair of golden wings.
Boss Peng Yu gave his body a shake, and turned into a Golden Peng Bird radiating an overwhelming aura. In a flash he became a Golden-Backed Roc; from head to toe, every single feather shone with golden light—that was a Golden-Backed Roc.
The great roc spread its golden wings and circled once in the air.
A piercing roc cry that seemed to pierce the heavens rang through the entire Ancient Sealing.
Boss Peng Yu dropped down from midair and turned into a burly, towering man; he was no longer that cringing, hiding reject of the Pengyu Clan.
Boss Peng Yu dropped to one knee and respectfully addressed Yun Sheng.
"From this day on, you are the master of me, Boss Peng Yu. In this life, I will be loyal to my master unto death."
Hovering between life and death, Boss Peng Yu also understood that it was Yun Sheng who had helped him, aiding him in comprehending the Ancient Golden Roc Technique and gaining a portion of Golden Roc Blood. With his current strength, he was enough to kill any one of the Pengyu clansmen present.
"Looks like the inheritance Boss Peng Yu absorbed lets him freely transform into either a Golden Roc or human form, galloping across ten thousand li." Rita, seeing Boss Peng Yu’s transformation, sighed inwardly.
The Bimong Clan’s inability to fly had always been a regret for Rita and the other Bimong clansmen.
However, with Boss Peng Yu, who bore the Golden Peng King’s blood, the Pengyu Clan was likely in for a complete upheaval.
The Silver Roc Young Clan Leader and the others realized this as well.
They had originally thought that with Boss Peng Yu’s twisted, deformed Pengyu body, it was impossible for him to comprehend the Ancient Golden Roc Technique. Yet the scene before their eyes ruthlessly shattered all of that.
"You damned Heavenly Fox bastard, we’ll settle this at the clan competition. I’ll make sure your Sky Fox Tribe learns what it means to offend my Pengyu Clan." Silver Roc had never expected he could only watch helplessly as Boss Peng Yu became a Golden Peng; he gnashed his teeth in hatred.
Even so, at this moment the Silver Roc Young Clan Leader did not dare provoke Boss Peng Yu again. With the aid of the Bimong Clan, plus that crafty Heavenly Fox Mixed Blood, and on top of that a Boss Peng Yu who had just obtained the Golden Peng King Body, the Silver Roc Young Clan Leader had no absolute confidence in taking them on.
In his fury, the Silver Roc Young Clan Leader could only choose a Pengyu Inheritance, angrily smash apart an inheritance beam, and obtain a barely passable inheritance.
Two days and two nights passed, and over half of the Inheritance Pillars within the Ancient Sealing had already been shattered.
Aside from Yun Sheng, Lu Yunshuang, and Yu Shang, most of the people had already obtained new inheritances.
"Yun Sheng, are we really going to keep waiting?" Lu Yunshuang was getting a bit anxious as well.
"Wait a little longer." Yun Sheng was also quite puzzled inside; she glanced at Yu Shang.
Yu Shang was like a boulder, utterly motionless.
"I just find it strange. Yu Shang has been far too quiet this time, more than a little abnormal. She hasn’t taken any inheritance either. If you were her, under what circumstances would you give up on a Sky Fox Inheritance that was right at your fingertips?" Yun Sheng countered Lu Yunshuang with a question.
"That’s easy. When there’s a better inheritance, you naturally won’t bother with those second‑rate ones." Lu Yunshuang blurted out. In fact, she’d also noticed that the Sky Fox Inheritances in this Ancient Sealing really weren’t anything special.
In comparison, out of everyone, only the Ancient Golden Roc Technique that Boss Peng Yu had obtained could truly be called a top‑grade inheritance.
"Don’t tell me Yu Shang is waiting for an even better inheritance? But there aren’t any other Sky Fox Inheritances here." Lu Yunshuang exclaimed.
This stretch of inheritance beams was already the end of this section of the Ancient Sealing; all around were cliff walls—there was no way a new inheritance would appear.
"No, you’re wrong. Don’t forget, this is an Ancient Sealing. A seal means there will be what’s called a Seal Eye. But we’ve been in this valley for so long and haven’t found any Seal Eye. If I’m not mistaken, the Seal Eye is very likely hidden. It needs certain conditions before it can be triggered." Yun Sheng herself wasn’t entirely sure.
"But if there really is a Seal Eye, how would Yun Shang know? Or has she been here before?" Lu Yunshuang hesitated, and glanced again at Yu Shang.
Just as the two women were talking, Yu Shang stood up and walked to stand before Yun Sheng.
"Hehe, looks like everyone has already obtained a suitable inheritance. The timing is just about right." Yu Shang laughed.
"Yu Shang, what do you mean by that?" Hu Linglong and the group of Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintesses all looked confused.
Bang, bang, bang—
Before Hu Linglong could finish speaking, an inheritance beam beside her, one that had not yet been shattered, began to shake.
Not only the inheritance beam by Hu Linglong’s side; the inheritance beams beside everyone were all shaking.
With a series of cracking booms, all of the inheritance beams that had not yet been broken suddenly exploded on their own.
"What’s going on?" Everyone turned pale with shock, and the first thing they thought of when they realized something was wrong was to get out of here at once.
But when they tried to leave this area, they suddenly discovered the ground was trembling and the valley was sinking downward.
"You’ve all worked so hard. Thanks to you smashing so many inheritance beams, I’ve finally managed to open the Seal Eye of this Ancient Sealing." In Yu Shang’s blue‑green eyes, there was nothing but cold calculation.
As the first Holy Daughter of the Sky Fox Tribe, Yu Shang was also one of the first batch of Ancient Eight Desolate Beast Clan ancestors who had, by a stroke of luck, escaped from the Wuji Continent to the Bahuang Continent back then.
As one of the Heavenly Fox progenitors, she had naturally been to this valley before; she had even participated in constructing the Ancient Sealing here.
It was just that the situation had been critical back then, and at the final moment Yu Shang abandoned several elders of the Sky Fox Elder Council of the Ancient Heavenly Lake Tribe and fled on her own.
Those Sky Fox Elders of the Elder Council used their Divine Power and joined with elders of several other great clans to slaughter the native Demon Beasts of the Bahuang Continent; at the same time, before those Heavenly Fox Elders died, they left a portion of their own Inheritance Power within the Seal Eye of the Ancient Sealing.
After those elder‑level powerhouses fell, in order to prevent the inheritance from falling into the hands of scheming villains, they also hid away the Seal Eye that held the strongest inheritance.
Only by consecutively breaking through the outer and middle zones and shattering over half of the inheritance beams in the middle circle would the Seal Eye of the Ancient Wind Seal see the light of day again.
Yu Shang had held off from making a move precisely so she could wait until everyone had exhausted themselves and for the moment when the Seal Eye finally reappeared.
