Su Min didn't say anything about the gruesome remains. She was no longer the naive girl who had just transmigrated—she had long since grown numb to such gory sights. Since that guy had openly shown hostility toward her, there was nothing left to discuss. Death was the only answer.
Honestly, Su Min hadn't expected the crowd to be so proactive, swarming the Wood Madman like ravenous wolves. But this worked in her favor—now, the competition had thinned considerably.
"Let's go. Next stop—the core of the legacy. Even if we don't plan to claim it, there might still be unexpected gains."
"Let's."
The two quickly advanced deeper into the ruins. Xie Yingying remained silent—this fire-attribute secret realm offered her little in terms of tangible improvement. Su Min casually tossed the corpse into her Qiankun Gourd. For it to rank up, it needed a Nascent Soul-stage demonic beast's remains—something even the Golden Core Great Dao couldn't provide.
There was no point in rushing, but feeding it scraps was better than nothing. However, as the gourd absorbed the remains, it suddenly shuddered, as if protesting the taste of dirt after a steady diet of fresh meat. Su Min could only shrug helplessly. But the moment she took another step forward, she froze. So did Xie Yingying. Because at that instant, they sensed something—someone had triggered the legacy.
"I was busy collecting the Five Elements Flags, those guys were busy slaughtering each other for fourth-grade pills… and now someone's swooped in to claim the prize."
Su Min smirked, amused. Legacies couldn't be stolen—either you were worthy, or you weren't. And with the Five Elements Flags in hand, Su Min already had a lead on the Five Elements Holy Body legacy. But her capacity for absorbing legacies and techniques was limited—she didn't even dare accept the full Heavenly Dao Insight yet, lest her body explode from overload. So this legacy was useless to her. Xie Yingying was in the same boat—her Lunar Sovereign Body couldn't accommodate a fire-based inheritance. Thus, neither cared much about it.
But—
"Damn, this feels like a loss. Let's see who got it. Either way, we're squeezing some profit out of this."
"..."
Xie Yingying could only sigh at Su Min's blatant greed. When they first met, Su Min had been cautious due to her grudge, but now? She was completely unrestrained. Of course, Xie Yingying didn't realize that back then, Su Min had been wary of her. Now? No need for pretenses.
The two rushed forward, only stopping to grab valuable items along the way. Legacy inheritance wasn't instantaneous—Su Min had spent ten years securing the Azure Dragon's legacy after all. But others didn't need to refine Heavenly Divine Objects, so it'd take at least a day—during which the inheritor would need protection.
By the time Su Min and Xie Yingying leisurely arrived at the legacy site, tensions were already at a boiling point. Su Min just wanted to see if she could extort some benefits, but others? They were desperate. This was Mahayana-stage ruin!
Yet now, the entire crowd was blocked by a single person at the entrance. Su Min blinked in surprise. The young man standing there—one man against an army—was unexpected.
He looked no older than twenty, his face still carrying a hint of baby fat. But that wasn't what stunned Su Min and Xie Yingying. It was his aura. To their senses, he seemed like an ancient force that had crossed through time itself.
"The Great Desolate Holy Body… To think I'd encounter it in this world. A physique that appears once in ten thousand years—and now, three of them stand here."
Xie Yingying's mind reeled. If only a Solar Sovereign Body appeared too—the union of Lunar Sovereign and Solar Sovereign could produce an offspring capable of slaying immortals. But both physiques were exceptionally rare, almost never appearing in the same era. As for the Great Desolate Holy Body, its standing alongside Solar Sovereign, Lunar Sovereign, and the Five Elements was no accident. Its power was absolute.
"One force to shatter ten thousand techniques."
At its peak, a single punch could make the heavens tremble. The small chamber bore the marks of battle—no fancy techniques, just craters. Some even had blood mist lingering inside. This guy hadn't bothered with flashy spells—one punch per person, sending them flying with internal injuries. The tense atmosphere shattered the moment Su Min entered. Every eye turned toward her. Before she could speak, four bloodied, ragged figures—looking like beggars—rushed to her side.
"You four…?"
Su Min's eyebrow twitched. These were sect prodigies, yet they looked like they'd been through a war.
"Lady Su! Here's part of that guy's head!"
One of them flipped his hand, revealing a severed, glaring eye. Su Min's lips twitched. She knew the Wood Madman was doomed, but this was… excessive.
"Lady Su! We have parts too—"
Soon, all four presented their… trophies.
The atmosphere in the hall eased slightly. These four were too injured to compete for the legacy, so cashing in on Su Min's promise was their best move. Four fourth-grade pills might not compare to a Great Ascension legacy, but they were nothing to scoff at. The absurd part?
Each had brought a different piece of the head. When combined, they formed the Wood Madman's final, unwilling expression.
"I recall offering five pills in total."
Su Min eyed the four men, then the… collection. She sighed. She'd said "bring me his head," and they'd literally divided it.
"Uh…"
The four exchanged awkward glances.
"Fine. Let's go by weight. The two heaviest pieces get two pills, the others get one each."
Su Min wasn't above enjoying chaos, but now wasn't the time to incite another bloodbath. So she pulled out a scale and a mallet.
"..."
The entire room fell silent. Even the Great Desolate Holy Body wielder stared at her like she was an alien. Who the hell weighed severed heads?!
The four prodigies hesitated but ultimately agreed. They were already injured—another fight would be suicide. Thus, under the bewildered gazes of the crowd, Su Min weighed the head parts like a market vendor. In the end, the Ancient Mansion Holy Son had the heaviest chunk.

"Ancient Mansion Holy Son, you get two requests. The rest of you get one each. I'll be resting outside the Fire Domain—bring your own materials when you come."
"Thank you!"
"Many thanks!!!"
The four bowed gratefully before swiftly leaving with their factions. In their current state, staying here was asking for trouble. Better to secure their rewards and prepare for alchemy. With their departure, the hall emptied by half.
Su Min paid them no further mind—even Han Chaoyan's presence didn't faze her. If he wasn't seeking trouble, she wouldn't bother with him. Now, her focus was on the Great Desolate Holy Body wielder.
"If my senses are right, there are three chambers behind you. One's occupied by the legacy inheritor—I won't interfere. But the other two? Their contents belong to me."
She strode forward confidently, Xie Yingying at her side. The crowd parted like the Red Sea. They'd just witnessed the young man's terrifying strength—one punch per opponent, no exceptions. But now, two more monstrous physiques had arrived.
Whispers erupted.
"That woman… the Lunar Sovereign Body? Just being near her chills my bones!"
"No mistake—it's the Lunar Sovereign Body. A once-in-an-era physique. And that alchemist must be the Five Elements Holy Body, though I've never heard of it."
"The Five Elements Holy Body requires refining five Heavenly Divine Objects. One misstep, and you're dead. And finding even one is a miracle, let alone five!"
"Who's stronger, then?"
"Hard to say. Her Five Elements Holy Body isn't complete yet, and the Great Desolate Holy Body seems similarly unfinished. The Lunar Sovereign Body is the most formidable here."
"The Lunar Sovereign Body's frost is too domineering—controlling it is no easy feat."
"..."
Most spectators retreated to the edges, anticipating a clash of titans. The Great Desolate Holy Body was straightforward—unparalleled brute force. But Su Min was no slouch either. She'd defeated three prodigies alone, and now, with Eastern Azure Wood refined, her combat power had soared.
As for Xie Yingying? Rumors said she'd frozen dozens of Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation survivors in place single-handedly. In short—none of these three were pushovers.
The remaining onlookers doubted they could even match an average prodigy, let alone these freaks. Some suspected these three could fight Nascent Soul experts evenly.
"Eastern Azure Wood… Nanming Lihuo… Drools."
Of course, some coveted Su Min's divine objects. But the moment those words left his mouth, a vacuum formed around him. Everyone stepped back, eyeing him like he was already dead. Nanming Lihuo and Eastern Azure Wood were treasures, but killing Su Min wouldn't extract them—the divine objects would return to their origins.
And the Azure Dragon's legacy site wouldn't reopen in this lifetime. Heavenly Divine Objects chose their masters—force was meaningless. So even if Su Min flaunted them freely, she had little to fear.
"No. Huo'er is inside."
The Great Desolate Holy Body wielder refused outright. Even facing two opponents, he wouldn't back down. A true warrior's path admitted no retreat.
"That your little girlfriend in there? You two must be rogue cultivators. Listen, kid—cultivation isn't just about fists. There's also diplomacy. Besides, what I want is in the other room. It's useless to you."
Su Min spoke like a seasoned elder. The legacy meant nothing to her, but her senses had picked up something else—
The Black Tortoise Token.
In the game, this was a random drop—pure luck whether it appeared or not. Its purpose?
To unlock the Black Tortoise's legacy.
Of course, that legacy wasn't in the Golden Core Avenue, so it'd be useless for now. But if it was here, she wasn't leaving without it. She wasn't afraid of the Great Desolate Holy Body, but a fight now would only benefit the vultures watching.
She'd heard that guy drooling over her Nanming Lihuo loud and clear.
