âSuccessor?!â
Everyone was stunned when they heard the figureâs words. Then, their gazes burned with excitement.
The successor of a baron from the Great Qian Empire!
What did this mean?
They didnât need to think to know the implications.
Although the baron was just the lowest title of nobility, the Great Qian Empire was a high-tier civilization. The baron of a high-tier civilization must at least be a cosmos-stage martial warrior.
The alien candidates knew what the cosmos stage meant.
Planetary stage, celestial stage, cosmos stage.
There was only one cosmos-stage martial warrior in one galaxy. They could rule over an entire galaxy.
For instance, there were nine galaxies in the Olant Federation, so there were nine cosmos stage martial warriors. Each of them guarded their galaxy and acted as a governor.
The figure in front of them was a baron from a high-tier civilization. His position was even higher than a cosmos-stage martial warrior from a low-tier civilization.
Hence, his legacy⦠must be incredible!
Wang Tengâs eyes shimmered.
Honestly, he didnât understand the stages of the martial warriors in the universe, but from the expressions on the alien candidatesâ faces, he could guess how much weight this successor position held.
Also, based on their description of the high-tier civilization, it wasnât hard to imagine how high a baronâs status was.
In summary, the bait given by this figure was extremely tempting.
At this moment, Biluo spoke to Wang Teng using voice transmission. She seemed afraid that he didnât understand what this baron position meant.
âArenât you afraid that Iâm a strong contender?â Wang Teng asked in surprise.
âHe will choose between us. We will fight fairly,â Biluo replied calmly.
âArrogant lady.â Wang Teng smiled in his heart.
âWho are you calling arrogant?â Biluo snorted.
Wang Teng chuckled.
âAre you choosing your successor among us?â Argus controlled his excitement and asked carefully.
âYes. Iâve waited for a long time before I finally met talented youngsters like you. If I miss this chance, I donât know when I will be given another one.â The figure nodded. âI scattered some Constellation Elixirs outside to attract martial warriors over. Did you all get it?â
Everyone turned to look at Wang Teng.
âWhy are you guys looking at me? Itâs just a few Constellation Elixirs. You come from the universe. Why are you fighting with an Earthling over them?â Wang Teng raised his eyebrows and said with disdain.
Everyone glared at Wang Teng.
Just a few Constellation Elixirs?
That was a pile of it!
You make it sound so simple. Why donât you take them out and share them with everyone!
They might have wealthy backgrounds, but they hadnât reached the stage where they would look down on such a treasure!
âHuh? You got all the Constellation Elixirs?â the figure asked in astonishment.
âNo, how is that possible? I left a few for them.â Wang Teng shook his head hurriedly.
âYes, it was just a few,â Kathu said bitterly.
âI see. So you did snatch all of them.â The figure was even more surprised. He sized up Wang Teng and asked, âYou said that youâre an Earthling, right?â
âYes. Do you need a sidekick? My potential is not bad.â Wang Teng nodded.
The figure: â¦
Can we end this topic!
He was too lazy to complain, so he changed the topic quickly. âIt looks like the Earth gave birth to a rare talent.
âIn the past million years, a few people managed to get into this room, but they werenât talents. Hence, they couldnât inherit my legacy.
âThis planet is too underdeveloped. There are no gifted martial warriors here!â
The figure sighed. He seemed to be releasing his emotions after wasting a million years of his life.
The others looked at Wang Teng. Look, even the big boss says that your planet is underdeveloped.
Wang Tengâs expression didnât change. He remained composed.
What do other people have to do with me?
What a joke!
I, Wang Teng, am a rare talent!
âI donât have much time. Letâs go straight to the point. I have one question for you. Are you willing to accept my legacy test?â the figure turned serious and asked.
The alien candidates got excited. The gazes of the five great stars burned with enthusiasm as they nodded fervently.
âYes!â
âWe are!â
Wang Tengâs eyes lit up. He shouted along with them, âBoss, Iâm willing to. Please bestow me the legacy!â
The formation was broken at once. His voice stood out among all the others.
Everyone glared at him furiously. This fellow loved to be in the limelight. Could he have some shame?
The figure nodded in satisfaction. He turned to the devil lords and said with a cold gaze. âMy legacy is not for dark apparitions. Please leave.â
âHmph, youâre just a dead person. You donât have the right to decide if we can earn your legacy.â Phantasma Devil Lord scoffed with a sharp gaze.
The other devil lords stood behind him vigilantly.
They sounded fearless, but they werenât sure if this dead formidable warrior had any powerful attacks hiding up his sleeve.
âHaha, even a devil lord dares to look down on me. Iâve been dead for too long.â The figure mocked himself.
Everyone felt the sorrow of his helplessness. This was a cosmos-stage formidable warrior, yet he was getting trampled upon after his death.
Just when everyone thought that he couldnât do anything to the devil lords, the single eye on the corpse behind the figure released a glaring beam of golden light.
The devil lordsâ expressions changed. Before they could react, they were enveloped by the golden brilliance.
Boom!
They felt their minds trembling violently. The spiritual power in their consciousness had no way of resisting the invasion. They collapsed instantly and fainted.
Bang! Bang! Bangâ¦
The devil lords fell one by one. None of them escaped!
âOh my god!â Everyone was terrified. They stared at the scene in disbelief.
âI might be dead, but I can still deal with you devil lords. What a waste of my remaining spirit,â the figure shook his head.
âSenior, youâre amazing! Long live senior!â Wang Teng shouted.
The figure: â¦
Everyone: â¦
They didnât know how to express their speechlessness as they stared at the weirdo.
âSenior, are they dead?â Argus hesitated and asked.
âNo, theyâre just unconscious. However, they wonât be able to wake up for half a month,â the figure replied.
âWhat are we waiting for? Letâs kill them quickly. We mustnât miss such a good chance.â Wang Teng was about to make his move.
âDonât waste time. I wasted a bit of my sealed spiritual power, so I canât last for long. Accept my legacy test first.â The figure seemed a little urgent.
Wang Teng stopped and turned to look at the figure. No one knew what he was thinking.
He smiled and said, âIn that case, why donât we take the test first?â
âHow is this test going to proceed?â Kathu asked carefully.
No one dared to underestimate the figure anymore. The attack he used to knock the devil lords unconscious was enough to prove that they wouldnât be able to resist him even though he was just left with a fragment of his soul.
âItâs simple. Iâll bring out the spiritual maze I created before I die. You just need to release your spirit and find the mazeâs exit. If you find it, you will pass the test,â the figure said.
âRelease our spirit!â Argus and the others hesitated.
âDonât worry. If I want to do anything to you, do I have to beat around the bush?â The figure smiled. He knew what they were thinking.
Everyone was enlightened.
âAny more questions?â The figure asked. âIf not, cross your legs and sit down. Release your spirit.â
The martial warriors stopped hesitating and sat cross-legged on the ground.
The figure nodded in satisfaction.
A golden glow shot out from the single eye on the corpse. It was many times thicker than before, covering the martial warriors completely.
In the next instant, everyone closed their eyes and sank into their consciousness. Suddenly, they appeared in a huge, magical maze.
At this moment, the figure gave a sinister smile and disappeared into the air.
