904 Appear before me! Pikachu!

At the beast domain, one of Nine Great Despairs, Scarlet Forest.

When mankind strives to become the strongest esper, the berserk beasts never give up. Each one of them struggled to reach the peak too. These past few days, dozens of honorable rank beasts and even half-emperor rank beasts arrived in Scarlet Forest for the power of Scarlet Forest.

According to a legend, there is a legacy left by a certain heavenly emperor rank beast in Scarlet Forest that is enough to drive each of them mad.

Of course, there were some who believed it and some who didn't.

"What's with this inheritance from a heavenly emperor rank beast? In the history of berserk beasts, since when did we have a heavenly emperor rank beast? If a heavenly emperor rank beast did exist, wouldn't humanity have been eliminated a long time ago?" A tiger humanoid disdainfully said.

"Hmmphh." Another beast with a pair of horns retorted, "You know nothing. According to the legend, Scarlet Forest is the residence of Heavenly Emperor Mingguang. In the deepest part of Scarlet Forest, there is a mass grave. Heavenly Emperor Mingguang lived nearby and possessed the so-called Nine Lamps that suppressed the luck of us berserk beasts."

"Bullshit." The tiger humanoid expressed his disdain, "Heavenly emperor? Nine Lamps? You think this is a legend? It's none other than a rumour! Tell me then, since we have a Heavenly Emperor, why didn't he take action? We beasts have always been in a war with mankind. Why not kill all the humans over on the other side?"

"Uh..."

The one with horns was obviously speechless, and his face turned red. He couldn't help but refute, "Since you don't believe me, why are you here then?"

"Because of the treasure." The humanoid tiger continued in a greedy tone, "We have slaughtered our way here, and no fewer than a hundred honorable rank beasts died. This Scarlet Forest definitely has treasures."

"Enough!" A half-emperor rank beast glanced over, and no one dared to speak anymore.

"I have attempted to breakthrough into the emperor rank, but never have I ever stepped into this rank. Since when is heavenly emperor rank that easy to reach? Our heavenly emperor rank and mankind's strongest esper is merely a legend. At least, I have never seen it before with my own eyes." That half-emperor rank beast said, and no one dared to add any words.

"It's almost the end of Scarlet Forest now." That half-emperor beast said in a fierce tone, "I also wish to see what kind of secrets are hidden in this Scarlet Forest?"

"Yeah!"

All beasts replied in unison.

Walking through Scarlet Forest, dozens of powerful beasts finally reached the deepest part. However, when they stepped into that region, all the beasts were shocked. Because after passing through the terrifying Scarlet Forest, a mass grave was in their sight where countless heads were placed.

Suddenly all the beasts felt the chill in their heart.

"There really is a mass grave!"

"Could the legend be real?"

"In other words... the inheritance of Heavenly Emperor Mingguang?"

All the beasts' eyes were red. Even that half-emperor rank beast earlier was having short breaths, "Could the so-called inheritance of a heavenly emperor rank beast be true?"

Crack~

Crack~

Everyone literally rushed all over the place and suddenly halted.

"Stop!" That half-emperor rank beast shouted out loudly.

Everyone was shocked and stopped immediately, "Senior, why?"

"That is..."

That half-emperor rank beast swallowed his saliva for a bit as he pointed at those heads in disbelief. One could see the horrified look in his eyes, "Do you all see those heads?"

"What's with those heads..."

When the beasts looked over there, they suddenly had goosebumps all over their body.

"This is..."

"This is also..."

"Humans, Tian family!"

"How could they be here? A few days ago, I thought I heard the Tian family had disappeared? Something about the Su family or Federation destroying them, why would they be here?"

Those beasts were horrified.

They felt that they had missed something.

"This is..."

Suddenly one beast pointed at the head the half-emperor rank beast was looking at and finally understood why he was shocked. This is because that face was a legend, the strongest man closest to becoming the strongest esper, the Tian family's old ancestor! In an instant, everyone felt a chill in their heart.

He, why did he die here?

In the end, what happened?

"Inheritance!"

"Someone must have obtained the inheritance of Heavenly Emperor Mingguang before being able to kill the Tian family's old ancestor!"

"So, in other words, there is really an inheritance here?"

The moment they thought of this, each beast blushed. Even the half-emperor rank beast's face was looking reddish as he looked over there. All the beasts slowly approached the mass grave.

There...

Would there really be an inheritance from Heavenly Emperor Mingguang?

"Hehe, you all won't obtain any inheritance."

A voice rang, causing the half-emperor rank beast to furrow his eyebrows. He coldly snorted, "How do you know?"

As soon as that voice fell, he suddenly felt something was wrong. That voice wasn't from those around him. All the beasts were afraid. Did someone come here first?

"Who are you? Stop pretending to be mysterious! Show yourself now!"

"How do you know that I can't get the inheritance? Because you have already taken it away?"

That half-emperor rank beast looked around sinisterly, "Or could it be that you followed us and then slipped in? There has never been anyone who stepped inside Scarlet Forest. Are you from the Shadow Clan?"

"No."

A voice casually floated in the air.

That voice came from far to near, and a figure leisurely appeared instantly and landed in front of everyone indifferently, "Because... I am still alive."

Swish!

All the beasts looked terrified.

In front of them, a figure slowly walked over. Behind him, nine bright lamps shone with unusual brilliance. Although one of them appeared to be extinguished, it was similar to the legend they heard!

Heavenly Emperor Mingguang!

He's still alive...

Those beasts were so scared that their legs went weak as they couldn't even take one step. This man in front of them was really the legendary Heavenly Emperor Mingguang, a character comparable to the strongest esper!

In the mass grave, in this place rich of death, all the beasts trembled. Today, they finally saw a legendary existence for their first time. That legend that had been spreading in the beast domain for an unknown time, the unrivaled number one beast in the domain.

Heavenly Emperor Mingguang!

The sky suddenly turned dark.

Leaving behind a pale figure of the heavenly emperor, all the beasts stared at him dumbly until they felt the pressure from the depth of their soul that they knelt down.

Scarlet Forest.

It suddenly became scary with the accompanying noise.

This is the difference between humans and beasts. They didn't need to court death to test Heavenly Emperor Mingguang's strength, nor do they doubt him for long because the feeling from the depths of their souls alone made them dare not to take action. This is the value of a heavenly emperor's strength.

Everyone was kneeling.

Whether it's honorable rank or half-emperor rank beast, no one dared to raise their head in front of Heavenly Emperor Mingguang. However, after the initial panic, everyone became a little excited. They now had a great heavenly emperor, but mankind didn't have their strongest esper yet. Does that mean that beasts are finally able to win the long-lasting war?

Are they about to destroy mankind?

All the beasts cheered up.

Heavenly Emperor Mingguang seemed to have realized their thoughts, "It's not that simple."

"Heavenly Emperor." A half-emperor rank beast finally couldn't help but ask, "Heavenly Emperor, since you have always been here, why are beasts and mankind..."

He couldn't hold back any longer.

He wasn't as ignorant as the other beasts. The first reaction coming from his was doubtful. Although the strength of this heavenly emperor was proven now, why not take action against mankind since he does exist? If Heavenly Emperor was to make his move, mankind would have perished long ago, and they wouldn't have to suffer in all these recent years.

Why did this heavenly emperor not take action?

"Hehe." Heavenly Emperor Mingguang looked into the distance, "You really think that I never took action before?"

"What?" That half-emperor rank beast swallowed his saliva for a bit, "You..."

"I've been there." Heavenly Emperor Mingguang looked at the night sky leisurely, "That time, when I became a heavenly emperor, the moment I broke through, I went. But what a pity..."

"I lost." Heavenly Emperor Mingguang said with a sigh.

Boom!

All the beasts trembled. They were so shocked that they could hardly control themselves.

Lost?

Heavenly Emperor, he actually lost?

Is that possible? Heavenly Emperor Mingguang said that in the past when he broke through, he already went there and lost... How is this possible? Could it be that mankind also has the existence of the strongest esper? All the beasts went dumbfounded. They felt that their view of this world was completely overturned. Even a heavenly emperor lost?

"How could this be?" That half-emperor was horrified, "How could mankind have such an esper?"

"There is such a lunatic."

Heavenly Emperor Mingguang looked frustrated. It seemed like he was recalling the scenes from the past. He seemed somewhat nostalgic, "Three moves, and I was defeated. That guy was too strong. However, in the end, he still ended up dead, right? Dead under those guys' hands..."

"What?!"

Heavenly Emperor lost within three moves to a man?

The beasts were dumbstruck.

And that powerful man died? They suddenly felt horrified. In this world, how many terrifying things were hidden?

"However, I still need to thank him." Heavenly Emperor Mingguang murmured to himself, "In the past, I was so determined to destroy mankind and increase my majesty. However, after that battle, I changed my mind."

"You don't want to take action anymore?" That half-emperor rank beast made a guess.

"No, mankind and beasts need to be unified." Heavenly Emperor Mingguang smiled lightly, "Some things still need to be done. However, the purpose is different."

"Huh?"

The beasts were at a loss. They had too many things to absorb. Even that half-emperor rank beast felt that he couldn't digest them all. The amount of information was a bit too much that some couldn't endure it.

"Sigh, even if I tell you guys, you still won't understand." Heavenly Emperor Mingguang recovered his calmness, "When you reach emperor rank, you will understand."

"Yes." That half-emperor rank beast responded with respect.

"Oh, but you all came at the right time." Heavenly Emperor Mingguang smiled kindly, "It's not that convenient to reveal myself all this time. Recently I picked up an apprentice. In the future, he will represent me."

"Yes."

Everyone respectfully said.

In the depth of their concept, a heavenly emperor is the strongest existence in the world! The apprentice of his must also be supreme. No matter what strength he possesses, they must maintain their respect!

Crack~

Sound of soft footsteps came.

Everyone looked up and saw a man coming from a distance. He looked as indifferent as Heavenly Emperor Mingguang, dressed in white clothes. However, when they saw that man's face, everyone showed a horrified look. Quite a number of them failed to control their facial expression.

This guy...

This face...

They had seen it so many times on the assassination list!

How could it be him?
