Chapter 2874 Inheritance
Emery stepped out of the Supreme hall with a new weight resting in his palm.
It was a dark metallic badge, simple in shape yet carved with intricate sigils that shimmered faintly when touched by spiritual energy. The mark of the Stellar Beast Emperor.
Moments ago, he had been a candidate. Now he carried a status that placed him even higher than the Beast Union elites-a disciple to the Supreme Emperor.
Waiting for him outside stood the dragon hybrid Supreme who had conducted the blood test. His expression was no longer stern or scrutinizing. There was an ease to him now, a shift in tone that mirrored Emery’s change in position.
“You may call me Senior Xernas,” the Supreme said.
Emery hesitated.
To address a Supreme as “Senior” rather than “Elder” bordered on impropriety. The difference in realm alone demanded formality.
Xernas seemed to read the hesitation.
“You are now my Master’s disciple,” he clarified. “Calling me Senior is appropriate.”
Emery inclined his head. “Yes, Senior.”
They exited the pyramid-like structure and without warning, Xernas’s body began to shift.
His humanoid frame expanded and reshaped, scales forming along his limbs as his silhouette elongated. Within seconds, he had transformed into a majestic quadrupedal beast. His body resembled that of a celestial horse, yet covered in dragon scales that shimmered like polished jade. Two elegant horns curved backward from his brow like those of a deer, and a mane of faint lightning crackled along his spine.
A Qilin.
Not merely a hybrid dragon-but a Qilin of ancient blood.
“Let’s not waste time… Hop on,” his deep voice resonated.
For a brief moment, Emery stood stunned. Riding a Supreme being-even in beast form-felt absurd.
Xernas shot him a sideways glance.
The next instant, Emery felt a force lift him effortlessly onto the Qilin’s back. The wind burst violently around them as they surged forward.
There was no gradual acceleration. One moment they stood before the Supreme structure, and the next the world had already fallen behind them. The scenery stretched into long streaks of light as distance collapsed under the Qilin’s overwhelming speed.
Emery steadied himself, maintaining his balance atop the scaled back of the Supreme. As they cut across the sky, he recalled the common saying that many hybrid cultivators were less bound by human customs and social restraint. Their instincts were more direct, more primal.
Watching the Supreme, Emery could not help but agree.
Within seconds, they exited the inner domain of the Supreme sector and descended toward the Hall of Supreme Knowledge.
As they landed near the entrance, Xernas shifted back into human form. Emery was gently deposited onto the marble floor before the transformation completed.
To his surprise, their destination was not a private chamber within the Supreme sector-but the Chamber of Knowledge itself.
Xernas spoke briefly with the mechanical administrator. The construct bowed and opened the inner gate without question.
They entered.
Inside stretched a vast stone corridor lined with towering pillars and archways that seemed carved from a single mountain. The air was heavier here, saturated with layers of lingering power.
They reached a massive hall.
Stone tablets stood in ordered rows, each inscribed with glowing characters.
Emery’s divine sense brushed against the nearest one.
Information flowed into his mind.
Each tablet represented a Supreme chamber. Each chamber housed a fragment of a Supreme’s legacy-insights, techniques, comprehension refined over centuries.
He recognized some names immediately.
Blood Sea Ancestor, Star Phoenix, Alduin Talon. Even Rosin Karat.
Curiosity drew him to Rosin’s tablet.
[Profound Law of Golden Metal]
[Requirements: Deep comprehension in Law of Metal]
As he focused, a projection unfolded in his mind-a defensive technique that hardened the body into radiant golden armor. Eight progressive stages refined flesh into near-indestructible alloy. Emery acknowledged it instantly: the
famed Golden Form of the Karat lineage.
Below the description was the cost.
[1000 Palace Points – One Week]
He speculate, to truly inherit the full legacy would likely require repeated visits. The cost was significant-but compared to studying written tomes, the chamber should have provided direct exposure to the Supreme’s
comprehension itself.
He turned toward another tablet, only for Xernas to place a hand lightly in
front of him.
“This is not our destination.”
They passed beyond the main rows of Supreme tablets toward a section few
seemed permitted to approach.
The air grew noticeably heavier with each step, the spiritual pressure condensing like invisible gravity pressing against his shoulders.
Ahead stood another gate-older, darker. Ancient runes pulsed faintly across its
surface, layered with formation arrays.
When the gate opened, Emery immediately sensed the difference.
Inside, only twenty stone tablets stood arranged in a wide circular formation.
They were taller, thicker, and emanated a presence that was not merely profound-it was oppressive. Each tablet seemed less like a monument and more like a silent sovereign observing intruders.
Emery felt his breathing slow unconsciously.
Before he could ask, Xernas spoke.
“These are the Emperor Supreme tablets.”
The words confirmed what Emery had already suspected.
If the outer hall contained the legacies of Supreme Lords, this inner sanctum
preserved some inheritance of the Twenty-Four Supreme Emperors.
Emery approached the nearest tablet.
The markings glowed faintly as his divine sense brushed against them.
[Blossoming Sword Emperor]
[Profound Law of Gentle Sword]
[Requirements: Female with deep comprehension in Law of Sword, Advance
level Sword Intent]
[3000 Palace Points – One Week]
Three thousand.
For a single week.
The number struck him harder than the aura.
These were not techniques casually exchanged between factions. These were Emperor-level inheritances-comprehension refined across millennia.
He exhaled slowly, then noticed Xernas pointing toward a tablet slightly apart
from the others.
The name engraved upon it shimmered faintly with a darker hue.
[Stellar Beast Emperor]
Below it were several lines of inheritance titles:
[Star-Breaker Beast Form – 6 stages]
Even without entering the chamber, Emery could sense the savage yet
disciplined power radiating from it.
He leaned closer to inspect the bottom line.
[5000 Palace Points – One Week]
Silence followed.
Emery stared at the number.
Five thousand.
Nearly his entire reward from completing the Cosmic Bridge.
“…Is my new master trying to bankrupt me before I even begin?” he muttered
under his breath.
Xernas’s lips twitched faintly, though no full smile appeared.
“As his direct disciple, you are granted one entry per 5 years without cost,” he explained calmly. “Additionally, each time you complete one stage of the inheritance, you will earn one additional entry.”
Relief eased some of the tension in Emery’s chest. One guaranteed week every
five years seems insignificant. Even so, he understood that such legacy was not something that could be mastered easily. It would likely take decades before he could truly claim even a portion of its depth.
However, his gaze shifted toward the requirements-and his brows slowly
furrowed.
[Requirements: Beast lineage. Three Cosmos Realm. Deep Comprehension of the Law of Beast.]
The first condition was obvious.
The second… not yet fulfilled.
The third ceased him entirely. “Law of Beast?” he murmured.
The Law of Beast was not commonly cultivated among half-blood magus. It was
a primal law, most naturally awakened by hybrids whose physiology was closer
to true beast lineage.
He looked at Xernas.
“Can I even cultivate this?”
