Building an Eternal Dynasty: The Eternal Legacy System

The Beginning of Victor’s Supreme Path

”I truly wonder... what exactly are you?”

He had forged a new path.

A path completely different from the one followed by every other cultivator.

The countless cultivators of the heavens were still struggling through that bitter sea.

They continued walking the twisted path.

They continued pursuing power without knowing the truth.

But Victor knew.

And because he knew, he could prepare.

One day, he would face those beings directly.

There was no doubt about that.

Yet Victor had something they did not.

The Eternal Legacy System.

And now, he had also forged his own Supreme Path.

With the system’s enhancements and the path he had created himself—

he would annihilate everything in the end.

The familiar system notifications rang inside Victor’s mind.

Only he could hear them.

Only he could see them.

No one else in the heavens knew that such an existence even remained hidden within Victor.

”Hm?”

The perfectly timed notifications brought a faint smile to Victor’s lips.

The corner of his mouth lifted slightly.

”A year has passed. The inheritance should be ending now.”

Victor murmured.

Cultivating the Ninefold Reversal of the Zenith and reshaping his entire realm had felt like mere moments.

Yet outside that mysterious space—

an entire year had passed.

Such was the nature of cultivation.

One closed his eyes.

One opened them.

And sometimes an entire season had already disappeared.

Victor turned his gaze toward the direction of the Heavenly Secret Realm.

His indifferent eyes seemed to pierce through every barrier.

The smile on his face slowly faded.

Something had changed.

The air around Sovereign Peak became strangely heavy.

The world seemed to churn.

Not like an ordinary storm.

It was more like a sea of death had suddenly awakened.

Victor’s golden eyes narrowed.

The atmosphere became suffocating.

Then his voice rang across the mountain.

”Such audacity!!”

Red Cliff Mountain.

One by one, the prodigies were teleported out of the inheritance Heavenly Secret Realm.

Some emerged with bright smiles.

Their eyes were filled with excitement.

Clearly, they had gained considerable benefits.

Others came out looking bitter and disappointed.

They had entered with high expectations.

But found almost nothing.

The ethereal phantom of the Heavenly Secret Realm trembled above the mountain.

Its once-solid form had become translucent.

The light surrounding it flickered weakly.

It looked as though it had exhausted almost all its remaining strength.

The inheritance was coming to an end.

The Heavenly Secret Realm was about to close.

BOOM—RUMBLE!!

Suddenly—

a strange flame erupted from within.

The flames were bewitching.

One side was pale.

The other was pitch-black.

Two completely opposite colors intertwined.

Instead of rejecting one another, they merged perfectly.

The flame carved a blazing path through the fading Heavenly Secret Realm.

The surrounding scenery distorted.

Reality and nothingness overlapped.

Mountains appeared.

Then disappeared.

Starfields emerged.

Then collapsed into darkness.

Wave after wave of illusions swept outward.

Several prodigies with weaker wills immediately staggered.

Their eyes became vacant.

They fell into the illusion without even realizing it.

Then—

a figure walked out of the flames.

A gaunt young man dressed in black robes.

A massive ruler was strapped across his back.

His black hair moved with the wind.

His eyes were calm.

Every step he took caused the surrounding flames to bow.

Not metaphorically.

The flames genuinely lowered themselves before him.

It was as though they were acknowledging their sovereign.

The young man was Austin Salvatore.

After subduing the Death Illusion Demon Flame, Austin’s cultivation had skyrocketed.

From Astral Manifestation Realm First Level—

to Astral Manifestation Realm Seventh Level!

The transformation was enormous.

The Death Illusion Demon Flame had not merely increased his cultivation.

After being devoured and refined by Austin, its terrifying power had also been completely integrated into his own strength.

His aura alone was now enough to make ordinary prodigies feel suffocated.

”Haha, Brother Austin, it seems you’ve gained immensely!”

A warm voice sounded behind him.

Austin paused.

The surrounding prodigies immediately turned their heads.

Their expressions changed.

They had not sensed anyone approaching.

Not even a trace.

A young man appeared behind Austin.

He had black hair.

Red eyes.

His expression was simple and honest.

There was even a faint smile on his face.

He reached out and casually patted Austin’s shoulder.

This was Nux.

The moment Nux appeared, the surrounding prodigies felt something strange.

His aura was completely exposed.

He wasn’t hiding anything.

Yet none of them had sensed him before he spoke.

It was as though he had simply appeared from nowhere.

More shocking was the difference between the Nux they remembered and the man standing before them.

When the Heavenly Secret Realm had first opened, his killing intent had been terrifying.

It had been like an endless sea of blood.

Cold.

Heavy.

Almost suffocating.

But now—

there was nothing.

Not even a trace.

The killing intent had completely disappeared.

Austin looked into Nux’s eyes.

His expression remained calm.

But his pupils narrowed slightly.

Through that simple warmth, he saw something terrifying.

Two blood-red stars.

They were hidden deep within Nux’s eyes.

Austin understood immediately.

His clan brother had reached another level.

The killing intent had not vanished.

It had merely been completely concealed.

And once it was released—
