Chapter 134 Standoff
This world's main realm is quite vast, much larger than the outer Crimson Maple Star.
However, Xia's location was only 20,000 kilometers away from Chen Yuan, and with his flying speed, he could arrive there quickly.
As Chen Yuan flew closer to his destination, he encountered more and more adventurers.
Ten minutes later, he finally arrived at his destination—a huge valley. In the very center of the valley, a magnificent palace came into view.
"Is this the inheritance palace of the 'Lord of Ten Thousand Flames'?"
The Lord of the Myriad Flames Realm is the same Lord that Xia mentioned in the email, the one who set up the inheritance test.
Chen Yuan looked around and found that there were quite a few adventurers gathered around the valley, exceeding 50,000, of whom 40,000 were at the Eternal Star level, but there were also about 10,000 at the Universe level.
It's clear that the inheritance of the World Lord level still holds considerable appeal for universe-level powerhouses.
Fortunately, these cosmic-level powerhouses are generally not very strong, with most below the fifth rank and fewer than one hundred above the seventh rank.
Even so, this lineup is not something Xayah can handle.
If it weren't for the incredible defensive capabilities of the inherited palace, she wouldn't have survived until the rescue arrived.
Just as Chen Yuan arrived, there were still many universe-level powerhouses launching a frenzied attack outside the Inheritance Palace.
Unfortunately, their attacks landed on the energy shield without even causing a ripple, clearly indicating that they were far from reaching the shield's defensive limit.
However, these people all knew that this heritage palace had no additional energy supply. As long as they attacked the energy shield, they could continuously deplete the palace's energy reserves.
As time goes on, when the palace's reserves are exhausted, that will be the time for them to vie for the inheritance.
So Chen Yuan didn't delay. He entered the virtual universe, dialed Xia's number, and as soon as she answered, he said, "I have arrived outside the Inheritance Palace."
"So fast! It's only been two days!"
Xia looked very surprised, but then an apologetic look appeared on her face: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect so many adventurers to suddenly come and block the outside these past two days."
"Originally, there were only three or four thousand people surrounding me, but in the past two days, more and more adventurers have come after hearing the news, I'm afraid..."
Seeing Xia's worry, Chen Yuan smiled easily: "It's okay, I have an E-class spaceship, it's a gift from my teacher."
"The adventurers outside are at most at the cosmic level, and they can't break through the spaceship's defenses. I can take you away safely."
"An E-class spaceship!" Xia's eyes lit up. "That's great! With the spaceship protecting us, we don't have to worry about these adventurers!"
"Alright, I'll grant you access to the palace right away. Come in, the palace is very spacious, it can easily accommodate your spaceship."
"Okay." Chen Yuan nodded. "Give me the access, I'll go in and we'll talk."
After ending the communication, Chen Yuan returned to reality. Irene reminded him, "Master, we have received an access notification from the Inheritance Palace ahead."
"You may now pass through the palace's defenses."
Upon hearing Irene's words, Chen Yuan nodded, then flashed forward at an astonishing speed, heading straight for the Inheritance Palace.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, he immediately unleashed his fastest movement technique, his speed soaring to the cosmic level.
In the blink of an eye, before the adventurers in the valley could react, Chen Yuan had already arrived at the outer perimeter of the palace.
He then passed through the security without any hindrance and successfully entered the palace.
This scene immediately attracted the attention of the other adventurers, and the crowd stirred up.
"What's going on? Someone went in!"
"I see clearly now, he's a Star-level kid!"
"Has the shield run out of energy?"
"Charge! Go grab the inheritance!"
Amidst the commotion, many adventurers rushed towards the Inheritance Palace, only to be stopped outside the energy shield.
It was only then that someone realized, "Wait, they're in cahoots; they have access privileges!"
"Damn it, are the reinforcements coming?"
"Everyone, spread out! Don't let anyone inside slip away in the crowd!"
Upon hearing this, everyone snapped out of their daze and retreated back to the top of the valley.
After careful inspection, it was confirmed that no one had mingled with the crowd and that the person who received the inheritance was still inside the palace.
So they continued to wait outside, patiently waiting for their chance.
However, not all adventurers in this valley are there for the inheritance of the world lord.
On an inconspicuous hilltop, a cosmic-level adventure team was closely watching Chen Yuan's every move.
"Did you see it clearly?" the squad leader asked in a low voice.
"Confirmed, he's the target." One of the team members answered with certainty.
"He was too fast; we simply couldn't intercept him," another team member added.
"It's alright, I've already reported to the adults." The squad leader said confidently, "Our current task is to keep a close eye on him and make our move after he leaves the Thousand Fire World."
"Understood!" the team members replied in unison.
On the other side, Chen Yuan was completely unaware of what was happening in the valley, but even if he did, he wouldn't care.
After entering the palace, he walked along a long, dark corridor and went straight to a room at the deepest part of the palace—the control center of the entire Heritage Palace.
As the door slowly opened, Xia appeared in the doorway, her bright eyes sparkling with joy: "You've come."
Chen Yuan nodded to her, stepped into the control room, and quickly scanned the area.
This "room" is unexpectedly large, spanning 5 kilometers in length and width. There are a few scattered buildings inside, but most of the area is open and spacious.
No wonder Xia said it could accommodate an E-class spaceship.
It's important to know that ordinary spaceships are usually only a few hundred meters long, and anything with a diameter of more than one kilometer is considered a behemoth.
The "Blue Fox" is only 700 meters long, which is more than enough for this space.
Xia led Chen Yuan to the room where the control center was located. This room was much smaller, about the same size as the main control room of the Blue Fox.
Upon entering the room, Chen Yuan noticed two other people inside—one of whom was clearly an intelligent life form of this heritage palace, a red-haired girl in a red dress formed from energy.
As for the other person in the room, she was a female warrior dressed in white battle armor, with an outfit quite similar to Xia's. She had neat short hair, two long swords crossed on her back, and a cold and sharp look in her eyes.
The opponent's realm is the ninth level of the Hengxing stage, while Xia's realm is the same as Chen Yuan's, the sixth level of the Hengxing stage.
Upon seeing the figure of the dual-wielding female warrior, Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and several guesses immediately surfaced in his mind. He then smiled and asked, "Xia, who are these two—"
"Xia, is this the helper you found?"
Before Xia could even begin to introduce them, the white-clad female warrior carrying two swords spoke first, her tone clearly skeptical: "A mere sixth-tier Hengxing level warrior, can she really help us escape our current predicament?"
"Since I dared to come in, I must be absolutely confident."
Chen Yuan smiled faintly, then changed the subject: "However, I'm afraid some people have ulterior motives and are deliberately putting her in such a dangerous situation."
"What did you say?" The female warrior with dual swords narrowed her eyes, her hands already gripping the hilts of her swords behind her back, seemingly ready to strike at any moment.
In this tense moment, Xia suddenly rushed between the two, opening her arms wide: "Stop—"
"What's wrong with you two? Why are you arguing?"
Xia's voice was full of confusion, and a hint of grievance.
