Martial God Asura

Chapter 6406: Demon Heavenly Exalted’s Tombstone

The crowd turned their eyes to Song Yun, including the new king. In particular, Huangfu Shengyu and the others were bewildered by her maneuver.

They could tell how dangerous the legacy was, and they would have avoided it wherever possible. It was a blessing that the new king wanted to activate and take the legacy, so why was Song Yun coveting it?

The new king eyed Song Yun before turning to Chu Feng. “Who is this person?”

“She’s a friend,” Chu Feng replied.

The new king finally turned to Song Yun and asked, “Are you afraid of death?”

“Who isn’t afraid of death?” Song Yun replied.

“This legacy can be shared, but most people can’t withstand it. They’ll die if they fail to do so,” the new king replied.

“I’ll just have to withstand it then,” Song Yun smiled.

“You’re very confident in yourself.”

The new king was surprised. He realized from Song Yun’s smile that she was much more than what she appeared. Anyone with eyes could tell the legacy wouldn’t be easy to inherit, and most people wouldn’t even dare step into this tombstone realm.

But Song Yun was unfazed. Her calmness didn’t appear to be feigned.

“I plan to stand at the top of the world of cultivation with big brother Chu Feng. I should at least have the confidence to inherit a mere legacy,” Song Yun replied.

“A mere legacy? Don’t get ahead of yourself. This legacy isn’t as simple as you think,” the new king said.

Just then, Chu Feng interjected, “Can the two of you not compete for this legacy? I trust your capabilities, but there are two more stars after this, and their legacies will be harder to activate and inherit. There’s no need to compete over this one. Our goal is to decipher all seven stars. I can take a star, but there’ll be no one to take the last one if you two share this legacy.”

“Chu Feng, this legacy is highly compatible with me. If you want it, I can give you all of it. However, if you’re planning to give it to your friend instead, the most I can do is to share it with her on your account. I’ll be frank with you. Something has been summoning me ever since I step foot into the Immemorial Cemetery, and it led me here. This legacy was prepared for me,” the new king said.

Chu Feng turned to Song Yun. Since the new king was summoned here, he would rather she take the next star.

Song Yun replied with a smile, “Big brother Chu Feng, I was summoned here as well. I merely took a detour to look for you first.”

“You were summoned here, too?” The new king was baffled.

“Why else would I compete with you over this legacy?” Song Yun replied. “Big brother Chu Feng, I understand we have to activate the seven stars, but I can tell from the summon that I have to obtain this legacy, or else I’ll regret it for life.”

“Miss, can’t you prioritize the bigger picture? We’re all going to die here if we can’t overcome this crisis. It will be meaningless even if you obtain the legacy,” Huangfu Zhantian said.

“Big brother Chu Feng will find a solution, right?” Song Yun said with a smile.

“I wouldn’t be advising you against it if I had a solution.” Chu Feng sighed.

“My apologies, big brother Chu Feng, but I’m not giving up on this legacy.” Song Yun refused to budge despite looking apologetic.

Chu Feng turned to the new king and asked, “Are you certain you two can inherit the legacy together without hurting each other?”

“Yes, we can inherit the legacy together. The legacy itself is dangerous, but she should be able to withstand it if she isn’t lying about being summoned here.”

The new king eyed Song Yun. He hoped she would activate the legacy with him, mainly because he thought she was lying and wanted her to pay the price for it.

“All right. You can activate the legacy together,” Chu Feng said.

Even though he hoped one of them could take on the next star, he couldn’t guarantee their success there. What if they failed? Besides, he didn’t like to force others to act against their will. Even if there was no one to take on the sixth star, they could only take a step at a time.

Thus, the crowd made their way to the two tombstones.

The two tombstones resembled buildings. They weren’t linked, but they were close, and there was a door in one of them. What they needed to open first was not the legacy but the door.

“The activation of the legacy can be divided into two stages. The first stage can be done with either of us—we just need to decipher the tombstone. I have already completed that step and can open the door right away.”

The new king placed his hand on the door, and the world shook. Peculiar energy was pulsating from the door. Moments later, countless runes appeared on the door.

The door opened, revealing a dark corridor.

At the same time, a light pillar gushed out from the underground into the sky, and words appeared on the previously empty tombstones.

The tombstone with the door wrote: Demon Heavenly Exalted’s Tombstone.

The other tombstone wrote: NinePupils Demon Aura’s Tombstone.

“Are these two tombstones?” Huangfu Zhantian asked.

The new king ignored Huangfu Zhantian’s question and looked at Chu Feng. “This tombstone contains the Demon Heavenly Exalted’s legacy. I didn’t receive any information about the Nine Pupils Demon Aura, but it could be the Demon Heavenly Exalted’s pet or companion. They might have been buried together because of that.”

After meticulously explaining the situation to Chu Feng, the new king turned to Song Yun. “We’re in the second stage now. We have to enter the door, but there will be no turning back. Failure means death. It’s not too late to give up now if you’re afraid.”

Song Yun flashed a brilliant smile at Chu Feng. “Wait for me here, big brother Chu Feng.”

With her hands behind her, she leisurely skipped her way toward the dark corridor, looking relaxed even in this critical moment.

The new king laughed under his breath before following her.
