Compared to god-tier essence veins, the Chaos Essence Vein provides even greater cultivation speed boosts. Everyone felt deeply moved—the Beast God had truly gone above and beyond, considering every detail for their benefit.
Chu Tianyang rubbed his hands excitedly. Being able to cultivate within the Dragon Emperor Palace was an incredible privilege! Training alongside the Beast God wasn't just an honor but a significant advantage. Any cultivation questions could be immediately addressed by the deity. Even this Chu family elder found himself itching with anticipation—should he join the Dragon Protector Guards too?
"Chu Tianyang, you and Clan Leader Chu Jingyue may enter to cultivate anytime," Long Yuan said, noticing their eager expressions.
"Many thanks, Beast God!"
At that moment, a pill flew toward Chu Jingyue. "This Physique Evolution Pill is a special reward for you as clan leader."
"This... Chu Jingyue thanks the Beast God for this generous gift!" Chu Jingyue's hands trembled as he caught the pill. With this, his Golden Radiance Battle Physique could evolve to saint-grade. If he could obtain another such pill from the Heart Refining Pagoda later, might he even reach emperor-tier physique?
The others watched with envy. Were these the exclusive privileges of being clan leader? To receive special treatment from the Beast God himself!
"Seems I need to revisit the Heart Refining Pagoda soon," Chu Tianyang muttered. "Otherwise my Myriad Spirits Saint Body will fall behind." Currently, the Chu family already had two divine physique holders—Chu Feng and Chu Ming. While emperor-tier physiques and martial souls hadn't yet appeared, several saint-grade physiques had emerged. Chu Tianyang resolved to challenge the pagoda again—this time, he'd definitely pass its trials.
After the gathering dispersed, Chu Jingyue immediately convened another elders' meeting to implement the ancestral elder's proposals. As clan leader, especially during the family's rapid ascension, he had to oversee all affairs personally.
During this period, the Chu family buzzed with excitement. Everyone anticipated the Dragon Protector Guards selection would spark earth-shaking battles, especially after learning guards could cultivate in the Dragon Emperor Palace. What was once merely an honorary title with elder-level resources had now become a position of true privilege and glory.
Days later, the selection commenced. Crowds packed the spatial world's training grounds—both cultivators and ordinary family members came to witness the spectacle. Contestants took the stage one after another, their fierce clashes drawing constant cheers from spectators.
Long Yuan watched with interest from his palace. "Hmm? This Chu Huang possesses remarkable strength." His gaze locked onto the disheveled man battling Chu Jianchen. The man wielded a massive black halberd, its dark radiance shredding incoming sword beams with each swing. His attacks carried mysterious energy capable of annihilating all existence. Their battlefield churned with violent energies and sword auras, the apocalyptic intensity drawing gasps from onlookers.
"Holy shit! Since when did Chu Huang get so strong?" Those who knew him gaped in disbelief. Previously unremarkable despite some talent, he'd suddenly transformed into an emperor-tier expert overnight! Updates are released by novel_fіre.net
"Didn't you hear? Chu Huang claims he obtained the ultimate legacy from Desolate God Pavilion!" someone explained in the crowd.
"He told you that? You must be close!"
"Pfft! We pissed in the mud together as kids! Besides, he says our family's full of heaven-defying legacies—his isn't even special!"
"Shut up! He's a Martial Emperor now!"
"So what? Doesn't change our childhood pissing contests!"
"A divine artifact?" Long Yuan's system revealed the weapon's properties:
[Artifact]: Primordial Heaven Halberd
[Legacy]: Thirty-Six Desolate God Techniques (Divine Ability)
Long Yuan's eyes widened. "Desolate God Pavilion? That sacred land actually held divine legacies?" He pondered deeply. "First Harmony Sect's mysterious pillar, then Heavenly Dragon Abyss' Dragon Blood Lake, Divine Fist Sect's Eternal Heavenly Stele, Sword Mountain of Ten Thousand Swords Sect... Was someone intentionally leaving these legacies in ancient times?" This couldn't be coincidence—it felt deliberately arranged. "Could it be vanished deities from the past?"
All evidence suggested god-tier experts once existed in the Mortal Realm before disappearing—likely due to Hell's Gate's interference. Watching the battle, Long Yuan nodded approvingly. Since this legacy fell to the Chu family, they'd surely elevate it to greatness. He suspected previous inheritors had been suppressed by Hell's Gate, their legacies lost to time.
This Dragon Protector selection surpassed all previous grandeur, fully showcasing the Chu family's centuries of cultivation in the Chrono Pagoda. Chu Huang was formidable with his Desolate God legacy, but Chu Jianchen proved equally matched. His Heavenly Sword Martial Soul combined with Nine Calamities Sword Body and Sword Mountain inheritance made him terrifyingly powerful—he didn't yield an inch against Chu Huang.
On another battlefield, Chu Yunling faced Chu Zhennan.
"Damn it! You're cheating!" Chu Zhennan complained as two terrifying Demon Emperors assaulted him. Both spirit beasts possessed supreme bloodlines—one with Imperial Golden Dragon lineage, the other Thunder Dragon blood. The former rivaled humanity's strongest god-tier physiques, while the latter's authentic dragon body was genuine god-tier. Against these two simultaneously, even Chu Zhennan's Battle Saint Physique stood no chance!
