Divine Lord

Luo Meng looked at the temple for a few minutes, the temple had several cracks in its structure as if a great battle had taken place, the more he looked the more his desire to enter grew.

"What awaits me inside this temple?" Luo Meng thought.

"Anyway, I'd better cross the Demon King's realm before entering."

He turned to the black flood dragon corpse, placed his hand on its body and began to drain the dragon's blood essence.

After a few minutes, Luo Meng drained the corpse completely, after absorbing the dragon's blood essence, Luo Meng felt the bottleneck of the Blood Tyrant Devil Art's 6th stage loosen.

He took the Demon Crystal shard and sat in meditation.

He slowly began to absorb the shard's energy.

His Demon Crystal started to grow for a moment but then it contracted, with each contraction the purity of the hellish energy in the demon crystal grew stronger, this process was repeated several times until he achieved great success.

Around Luo Meng, a vortex of hellish energy began to emerge, symbolizing that he had reached the level of the Demon King.

But it's not over yet, a blood-colored cocoon wrapped around Luo Meng, this cocoon is a result of entering the 6th layer of the Blood Tyrant Devil Art 'rebirth', in this layer the martial artist's body would be reshaped into a body several times most powerful, this body is known as the body of the blood tyrant.

[Hours later]

Cacha!!

With a faint sound, the blood cocoon broke into thousands of pieces.

A young man was standing where the cocoon was, his body seemed to emit a dominance that would make the blood of living beings go into chaos.

Luo Meng analyzed his new body, his body had drastically decreased in size, what was once a towering 3 meters was now just 1.80 meters, his hair turned even redder, his pupils were constantly emitting terrifying killing intent.

"If I fought the dragon again, I wouldn't have to drag the fight so long." Luo Meng thought.

"Well, since I'm here, I better get in." Said Luo Meng as he looked at the temple of the eight black dragons.

He started to slowly climb the stairs of the temple, when he reached the gate, he noticed several symbols in the form of a black dragon.

In the middle of the gate was a dark core, Luo Meng looked at the core for a moment before trying to open the gate.

But no matter how hard he tried, the gate didn't budge an inch.

He then returned his gaze to the dark core.

"I remember that I read in a book that certain inheritances of powers from 100,000 years ago there were cores that it was necessary to inject energy, upon reaching a corresponding level the gate would open." Luo Meng thought, he started to circulate his hellish energy and inject it into the core.

After a while the core began to glow and the gate began to shake, with a deep crash the gate opened revealing a corridor.

Luo Meng extended his sense to the hallway, but didn't notice anything wrong, he entered the hallway and walked slowly until he found a hallway with a black dragon mosaic on the floor.

Inside was a black obelisk, when Luo Meng entered the hall, he heard a monotone voice.

"Welcome to the divine Lord Yang Weisheng's inheritance test."

"Divine Lord?" Luo Meng had never heard of such a title.

"The test will begin when the challenger enters the center of the hall." The monotonous voice continues.

Luo Meng thought for a moment and headed towards the center of the hall.

Upon reaching there, the obelisk glowed and a shadow came out of it appearing in front of luo Meng.

"The first test is to face your own shadow."

"A shadow?" Luo Meng looked at the shadow, he felt that the shadow was only slightly weaker than him.

Luo Meng took his halberd and went to meet the shadow, the shadow had neither weapons nor battle spirit making the battle much easier.

Luo Meng easily killed him, the shadow's body disintegrated and merged with Luo Meng's body, he felt his hellish energy recovering.

Before he could walk away two more shadows appeared, Luo Meng looked at them and a few minutes later destroyed them.

Then three more appeared, Luo Meng destroyed them again, each time he destroyed them they came back with one more.

This fight persisted for a few hours, after he killed the hundredth, the shadows stopped coming.

A monotone voice came from the obelisk.

"Combat Prowess Test Completed, 100% Completion Rate."

"Requirements for second test met."

After that, Luo Meng was sent to a dark place.

The monotone voice came again.

"To complete this test, you must understand the concept of darkness in three hours."

Luo Meng said nothing and sat down to understand the concept of darkness.

After 2 hours he understood the concept of darkness and was sent to the third test.

[Two days later]

"You have completed all inheritance tests, now you can enter the inheritance space." the monotone voice declared.

This monotone voice was the temple spirit charged with protecting the heritage.

Over the past two days, he has undergone various tests, tests of combat prowess, understanding, willpower, survivability, and talent.

He has gone through all of them in the last two days and can now obtain the divine lord's inheritance.

From what the temple spirit said, the divine lord is a much more powerful powerhouse than a holy lord of the holy continent of demons.

Luo Meng was facing a throne, on that throne was the body of divine lord Yang weisheng.

"Luo Meng kneels to receive the inheritance." Said the spirit of the temple.

When luo Meng knelt down, a soul came out of the divine lord's body, it actually couldn't be considered a soul as it was just a remnant fragment of the divine lord's will.

He looked at Luo Meng with a solemn expression.

"A giant demon? Well, I didn't expect a giant demon to receive my inheritance, but you are more than qualified to receive it as you have passed all the tests." the divine lord said as he assessed Luo Meng.

"I see you cultivate the demon crystal path, I suggest you restart your cultivation using the essence collection path."

"Why should I do that?" asked Luo Meng.

"For you who live on this planet, the demon crystal path may be enough, but it has no future, when you ascend to the divine realm, no matter how much talent you have, facing cultivators who have gone through the nine falls, you will be obliterated." as the divine lord spoke, his form began to tremble.

"Well it looks like my time is running out, boy my inheritance is in my space ring , there is also the item that caused my downfall, a transcendent divine power!" the divine lord spoke with a deep voice.

"For this transcendent divine power I gave my life and in the end I died on this planet without even understanding such power." The divine lord's voice carried a tone of deep regret as his remaining will disappeared from the world.
