When Chu Fengmian rushed up the path at that moment, the pressure around him dispersed into nothingness.
The Battle Dragon chariot ascended the peak, revealing a rainbow staircase at a glance.
Upon the staircase, Chu Fengmian noticed a shining black Spirit Stone situated about one-tenth of the way up, clearly visible.
"Black Brilliance Stone?"
At the sight of the black Spirit Stone, Chu Fengmian couldn’t help but exclaim.
The Black Brilliance Stone was considered a top-tier treasure among the wonders of the heavens, containing unique Spiritual Power that could refine the bloodlines in the body of a Martial Artist to purity.
The bloodlines of ordinary Martial Artists, if refined by the Black Brilliance Stone, could match some such as the Dragon Bloodline.
For Chu Fengmian, who already possessed other bloodlines, the effect of the Black Brilliance Stone would be even stronger.
Chu Fengmian practiced the Battle Dragon Technique, and although his Ancient Battle Dragon Bloodline was incredibly premium, there were still bloodlines in existence that surpassed the Battle Dragon Bloodline.
Mythical beings like Kunpeng and Sky Phoenix, their bloodlines were far more formidable than the Ancient Battle Dragon Bloodline.
If Chu Fengmian could acquire the Black Brilliance Stone now, it would be enough to further refine his bloodline, greatly boosting his strength at that time.
The Black Brilliance Stone was undoubtedly a treasure for any Martial Artist.
Placed in the Nine Domains, the Black Brilliance Stone had not been seen for tens of thousands of years, and Chu Fengmian had only read about it in ancient texts.
Indeed, Yunyu Tiangong was affluent; even during the Ancient Times, the Black Brilliance Stone was extremely precious.
Now, the Black Brilliance Stone was placed right on the rainbow staircase, seemingly within easy reach.
Not just Chu Fengmian but countless eyes were drawn to the Black Brilliance Stone; almost all the Martial Artists who had just reached the peak were fascinated, their gazes full of intense desire.
Such a heavenly treasure was rarely seen even in Guixu Heaven.
"It is the Black Brilliance Stone!"
"Heaven, isn’t this the wonder that long disappeared from the Nine Domains? It is said that the Black Brilliance Stone is not from the Nine Domains but came from outside, used up one by one, and now to be found here !"
"I already have the Yang Tiger Bloodline, if I were to obtain this Black Brilliance Stone and transform my bloodline once again, I would become invincible!"
Those Martial Artists, each casting greedy and eager looks at the Black Brilliance Stone, wished they could seize it right that moment.
Even Han Yueli’s eyes were blazing hot as she looked at the Black Brilliance Stone, a deep longing visible.
The Black Brilliance Stone, unlike other celestial treasures, was useful to Martial Artists of any realm.
For example, the Dragon Birth Herb Chu Fengmian had obtained before was only effective for Martial Artists below the life-death realm and useless to those within it, thus its value was limited.
However, the Black Brilliance Stone was different; its effects were independent of the realm or strength of the Martial Artist; what it did was transform bloodlines.
Even for those at the Fragmented Life realm or even higher realms, it was incredibly useful, making it an item that everyone desired; its value was immeasurable.
Yet despite the many people and countless gazes fixated on the stone, most were merely watching and not daring to step forward to compete for it.
This scene was slightly surprising to Chu Fengmian, for the Martial Artists of Guixu Heaven were madmen who would stop at nothing for gain.
Just at the foot of the mountain, they had fought desperately to advance steps forward, so facing the very real treasure of the Black Brilliance Stone, it was unexpected for them to remain so calm.
Chu Fengmian glanced once and saw the Blood Sacrifices on the colorful staircase.
It seemed that some Martial Artists had tried to step onto this rainbow staircase but had perished on the spot, leaving no trace of their bodies, only some Blood Sacrifices.
On the staircase, a seven-colored glow lingered, deterring anyone from stepping forward, for whoever did would endure an unmatched barrage, beyond what anyone could withstand.
For this reason, though those Martial Artists were filled with greed, none dared to take a step forward and compete for the Hei Yao Shi Fang Stone.
After observing this scene, most of the Martial Artists quietly stood aside and waited.
They were aware that the various abnormalities at the Yun Yu Heavenly Palace were probably signs that the inheritance was about to open, or had already opened.
The climb up the mountain peak was just the first trial.
Martial Artists who couldn’t pass this trial wouldn’t even get the chance to see the Hei Yao Shi Fang Stone.
Most Martial Artists settled their minds and waited on the side, but there were a few who couldn’t resist the urge to take the risk.
The moment one Martial Artist stepped onto the rainbow staircase, his body completely vanished, leaving only a few drops of fresh blood on the ground.
The seven-colored glow on the rainbow staircase held power far beyond what the present Martial Artists could contend with.
Seeing this, Chu Fengmian was clearly aware, and he quietly waited on the side in his Battle Dragon Chariot.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
A massive heavenly boat suddenly surged up, bearing twenty or so figures who appeared upon it.
These people were the Disciples of the Ancient Desolate Sect who had just attempted to confront Chu Fengmian.
A few of the Ancient Desolate Sect Disciples revealed a hint of murderous intent in their eyes at the sight of Chu Fengmian, their Spiritual Power surging as if they were about to strike.
However, the young man beside them shook his head, and eventually, the group stood to the side.
"Saint Lord Huang is here."
Seeing the young man, many Martial Artists showed a hint of wariness in their eyes.
Saint Lord Huang, Jian Ancestor Huang, and Lu War God were the three supreme beings in the Tian Yu Divine Domain, towering at the pinnacle.
Any Martial Artist who contemplated challenging them had to consider carefully.
Apart from the Disciples of the Ancient Desolate Sect, gradually another group of Martial Artists entered the fray, disciples from the Gai Yue Canyon, all with profound gazes.
Among the crowd, Gu Peng, who was recently thrown down the mountain by Chu Fengmian, was prominently present; his face still pale, but his injuries had clearly improved, likely due to some medicinal pills he’d taken.
When he arrived, his gaze fixed on Chu Fengmian, glaring intensely for a moment before standing aside.
"It seems Gu Peng won’t let this go easily."
Han Yueli spoke quietly from the side.
"No matter, he’s just an ant. Anyone who dares to block me will die!"
Chu Fengmian spoke calmly.
To him, Gu Peng was not even worth considering.
