Clark was stunned by the sight. It was truly terrifying.
He shouted loudly, "How is this possible? I've been walking for days, one after another, to the point where I lost count. Now I see..."
He stopped speaking and turned in horror. He saw the wall he had been standing next to since the beginning, and in front of him was the end of the passage.
He said, "What madness is this? So from the very beginning, that bitch was toying with me! But how did she manage to enter the Venerable One's subconscious? Is she really as terrifying as described in the records? But it doesn't matter now. Ke ke ke, for before me lies the true Legacy. Let those shelves distract you,
Gene, for in the end, they are mere breadcrumbs, nothing more. For a fool like you, enough talk now!! Before me is what I desired: the great inheritance I coveted."
Clark advanced with a passionate gaze and immense ambition. The hunger that had been consuming his mind vanished. Everything had disappeared: the malicious thoughts, everything!! The challenges, the gaps, the obstacles that
had hindered Clark's journey were gone. Now everything was before him, so what did it matter now?!
Before him lay a rotting corpse. Clark saw something strange at its top that puzzled him: truly, a massive, gigantic fissure, from which the sun was emerging. The sun was so intensely
bright it nearly blinded Clark. He quickly covered his face with his hands. His hair fell onto his face.
He said, "What's happening? My hair wasn't this long before." He was surprised by its length. "Ah, that time... Hahahaha! Since I woke up, I haven't
looked at my face in a mirror or anything, because I didn't care." His hair had grown strangely long.
He cut a piece of fabric from his black sleeve and used it to tie his hair back, throwing away the rest of his coat, which had been torn since the beginning.
He said, "For an inheritance like this, my appearance must be distinguished and magnificent, worthy of the greatness of the toil and the days. Everything, I will reap the fruits of my efforts."
He continued,"Now I will obtain the remaining refinement and skills from the corpse of the Venerable One, the Eternal Great Love!!!"
He began using his Eye of Greed to absorb its power. Soon, the corpse reacted with the immortal subconscious. A great green light erupted, truly
majestic, sending shivers down Clark's spine and terrifying him greatly.
He said, "So this is the refinement of the Immortals who surpassed the Mortals in power! Even the killing intent of that old man doesn't reach this level."
Suddenly, the ceiling tore open. It was horrifying. An enormous and powerful light showered down on Clark's body, which began to rise. There had been an enchantment hiding the tunnel opened
by the stone shelf, but due to the interaction with the Venerable One's corpse, that enchantment was destroyed.
Gene, who was at the waterfall spring, watched in terror at the gigantic, colossal light. He didn't know what was happening with Clark, and he didn't even care what was happening to him, because in his view, Clark was just trash
. It didn't even cross his mind that this was Clark. But a doubt and fear seeped into his heart. He thought it was a new catastrophe, but it wasn't. Gene was afraid, so he went down to get from the shelf whatever skills he could, as much as possible.
But on the other side, Clark was assimilating the Legacy. The power of that refinement was extremely intense. He began to feel his refinement level rising.
Alert! You have reached the second level of Soul Manifestation!
You have surpassed the third!
You have surpassed the fourth!
Alert! Congratulations, you have reached the King Stage!!!
Hahaha! Clark laughed amidst the overwhelming light. But the light became too intense; Clark's body couldn't withstand it.
Alert!!
Athena, Queen of War, sends you Waters of the Lady of the Lake's Pond.
Message urgently: Drink it or you will die from the skill overflow!
Clark quickly took it from the system and drank it. He said, "Yes, now I can assimilate it. Ke ke ke."
Clark remained in that state for three days, refining his power within that massive light. Suddenly, Clark opened his eyes: it was all over. He pushed the light away with a powerful wave of his hand.
Clark descended, his clothes torn to shreds, now completely naked. His black hair hung down his back. He began to look at his body: his muscles had become dense, his veins prominent, his body extremely solid.
Several notifications popped up before him!!!
You have obtained Fist of the Demon King Norak!
Skill Description: The Demon King Norak, it is said he manifested in the human world to aid his messenger. He was terrifying in the demon world, and his fist is unmatched!! He is the master of Black Lightning!!!
Another Alert!!!
The Great Blessing of the Black Dragon Phanore: Enhances all your stats three times and increases your durability, but does not increase skill power!!!
Alert!!! The system has been breached. The skill 'Voidification' has been stripped from you and replaced with an unknown skill: Stop Time for Three Seconds.
Alert!!! The skill 'Manifestation' has been locked.
Clark said, "What? Manifestation?!" He quickly searched for it in his status bar and found it was still there, but its name was marked with question marks. Clark immediately shouted, "So it's you, Constellation of Worlds?!" No response came. He was genuinely puzzled.
He said, "I won't let this dampen my spirits. Now I am truly strong."
Clark left the place he was in. He said, "Oh, right! It's been a while since I checked my level. Was I at level 12 or what?!" He was soon shocked: Level 29! And there was a word in golden color below his level in brackets: (Refinement: King Stage - First Phase).
· Strength: 30
· Agility: 20
· Durability: 34
· Stamina: 20
· Mana: 16
· Qi: 10
Clark laughed heartily, "My power is immense! I've even surpassed Bai Hu and Yi Lian. Besides my refinement, I have the System, and they have nothing like it. Oh, my great fortune!"
Clark exited the passage, standing before the stone shelf, where Gene was standing.
He said, "There have been intense vibrations. Even that damned eye that randomly shoots lightning kept striking the opposite area randomly."
Suddenly, the wolf, which had been asleep all that time, woke up. It returned to its massive size. Gene didn't know. He soon felt a huge shadow covering him. He was opening one of the shelves and
taking something new from it. He saw the huge wolf behind him. He moved quickly, thinking the wolf would attack him, hiding the scroll he had taken from the shelf in his pants.
But blue flames appeared in the doorway. Gene knew something strange was happening. Slowly, the stone door opened, and the shadow of a man 1.87 meters tall appeared.
It was Clark, naked. Gene was shocked by what he saw: Clark's body, rippling with muscles.
The wolf began licking Clark's face, who was laughing. Gene asked, "Aren't you going to cover yourself?"
Clark replied, "Is there a woman here for me to cover myself from? Do you think you're a woman? Oh! Or perhaps there's another explanation for your words: maybe you're jealous of its huge size?!" Suddenly, Clark felt a sensation... He quickly retreated, covering his lower body.
He said, "You stupid wolf! That's not a place to lick!"
Gene said, "It would have been better to cut it off."
Clark laughed arrogantly, "You're so jealous of my greatness! Ke ke ke."
Gene broke the amusing mood, saying, "Did you see the huge light that erupted from the sky???"
Clark laughed in response, "Naturally! Who else could have caused it but me? Didn't you feel the greatness of my power?!"
Gene's eyes, usually calm, widened.
Clark said, "Feast your eyes! For this sight, I call it true power!!!"
A yellow aura erupted, brimming with frenzied killing intent. His eyes were red. Clark said, "Do you see, you fool? Were you arrogant days ago? Now look
! Feast your eyes! This is immense power! This is the power of Kings, a power you haven't reached yet. You have a long
journey ahead. It was clear from the beginning: I didn't get those stupid skills because, naturally, I got the best. You know? I've been far beyond you since the start, not you being beyond my sight. You have a long road ahead; you might die before you reach it, for in the end..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he lowered his eyelid provocatively and pointed his thumb down at Gene: "You were playing with crumbs, while the
Legacy chose the best for me. I was its master. A mere coincidence transported a fool like you!"
Like dagger stabs, Clark's words pierced Gene's heart, like a bolt of lightning that struck Clark after he finished speaking!!!
