Chapter 1289 Paul

"If they didn't fight so bravely, the devil race would have enslaved us. And our lives would have been
filled with pain and misery," said Ricky. His voice welled over with reverence and respect for the
powerful warriors who had fought the devils in ancient times.

As they gazed at the ancient arena, the pair could imagine how the powerful ancestors took on the
devil race.

"I wonder what will happen now that this ancient arena has appeared. Will any opportunity be waiting
for us there?" Enoch whispered to himself.

Meanwhile, the other disciples on the ancient battlefield all had the same thought as Enoch.

They admired those ancient and powerful warriors, who could be considered their seniors, and they
were grateful for what they had done.

And their top priority for the time being was to grow stronger, for only in that way could they overcome
the devil race for good. Under the gaze of all the warriors, the ancient arena began to change again.

A strong ancient aura suddenly flowed out, and the Combat Space inside the Rocks of Heaven and
Earth became visible to the naked eye. All the warriors in the ancient battlefield noticed huge beasts in
each Combat Space, which seemed to be made of fighting energy.

They scrutinized those beasts and recognized that the fighting energy they contained was much purer
than what the warriors had initially acquired.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Immediately after, many warriors rushed towards the arena.



But they didn't make it inside, as they were sent flying away by the power that emanated from the
Rocks of Heaven and Earth. It became evident, then, that those warriors were far weaker than the
rocks around the arena.

Those who were cast aside soon realized that the power the Rocks of Heaven and Earth had released
could easily overpower them and take their lives.

"Damn it! I can't get in!" one of the warriors exclaimed, looking incredibly frustrated.

Nobody could blame them for being desperate, as those beasts held a great value. They must have
been very distressed to see the beast so close and yet so far. No wonder they were upset.

After a while, some of the warriors opted to join hands to better their chances. They launched attack
after attack to shatter the rocks' powers but to no avail.

Meanwhile, the beasts inside the rocks growled ferociously. They were struggling to break free from
their confinement, but nothing they did had any effect.

"It looks like this ancient arena became visible because the sealing array was broken. But it seems like
it's not possible to enter it. Damn it!" Mordechai grumbled with an annoyed growl.

"Maybe we just have to wait. As soon as the heavenly power that protects the ancient battlefield
weakens, those warriors at the Sage Level could get here, and they could find a way to enter it by
force," Ricky comforted him although he was feeling discouraged as well.

"Come on! Don't lose hope so fast. It looks like the ancient arena is still changing!" Enoch chimed in.
"By the way, Ricky, can you see those arrays in the Rocks of Heaven and Earth?"

Upon hearing this, Ricky turned and checked the Rocks of Heaven and Earth immediately.



"Yeah, I can sense them, and those seem more powerful than the arrays we just destroyed. Perhaps,
the power around these arrays shut us out," Ricky thoughtfully responded.

And as soon as those words fell from his mouth, the arrays jumped away from the Rocks of Heaven
and Earth and gathered together.

Soon, a ball of power had formed, which gradually morphed into a figure.

It was a middle-aged man. He was clad in a blue battle suit, and a blue, majestic crown adorned his
head.

Although the only thing they could see was its silhouette, the vibe it gave off felt more powerful than the
ancient battlefield's aura. The surrounding warriors gaped in awe and slight fear.

Against their will, their heads lowered as if to show their submission.

The weaker ones looked as if they had been overcome by its power, as they fell half-kneeling on their
knees.

However, the shadow didn't mean to make them act like that. It was the figure's momentum and power
that made the warriors cower before it.

"That is—" All the warriors gaped at the shadow in utter shock.

"I am Paul's will. I have been tasked to guard this arena and select the successor for him," the shadow
explained to them.

"What? That was Paul's will?!"

"Oh my!" All the disciples in the ancient battlefield, as well as the saints waiting outside, were struck
dumb by the figure's words.



Most of them had heard about Paul.

He was famous, after all, as he was the only one who made it out of the arena alive. Unfortunately, the
injuries he had suffered were too severe, and he perished soon after he defeated the devils.

He was also quite popular because he was the best warrior on the continent of that age.

When the warriors present had recovered from the shock, their next reaction was excitement as the
shadow's words finally registered in their minds. The phantasmal figure had announced that it was
going to select Paul's successor!

That meant that they could have the chance to obtain a spiritual potentate's inheritance.

Nowadays, no spiritual potentate existed in the world. If they could acquire the spiritual potentate's
inheritance, they would undoubtedly become the most powerful warriors in the four continents. This
was an incredibly rare opportunity for everyone.

At this point, all the warriors had succumbed to their excitement, even those saints waiting outside.

If this got out, it would cause a sensation in the continent.

But now, only warriors in the ancient battlefield had the chance to get their hands on the spiritual
potentate's inheritance.

"Four tests are waiting for you, and the one who will pass all these tests will get Paul's inheritance. But
I must warn you—you might die during the process.

Now, the first test has begun,"

the shadow explained shortly.



Right after it finished speaking, some Rocks of Heaven and Earth suddenly shot upwards and levitated.
Countless Combat Spaces were hidden in each of the rocks.

'I heard that Paul had cultivated the power of time. The power of time is said to be unpredictable and
changeable. It has control over the River of Time,' Ricky thought to himself.

"The power of time is unpredictable, and it is one of the most powerful forces, second only to the
primitive power. That would be on par with the chaotic power. Now, I wish you luck, brat! Try your best
to pass all the tests,"

the Dragon Intent Grass advised Ricky, who nodded instantly.

"Of course, I will. There is no way that I would give up the ancient spiritual potentate's inheritance,"
Ricky answered with his eyes burning with determination.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In the next moment, the warriors had finally entered the Combat Spaces inside the rocks.

"Take care of yourselves, my friends!" Ricky said to Ashley and the others.

"Don't worry. We know ourselves well. Our target is those beasts instead of Paul's inheritance,"
responded Hayes.

Afterward, Ricky and his companions entered the rocks as well.

He had barely set foot in the Fighting Space, and Ricky spotted a golden yak made of fighting energy.
He could tell by its aura that the beast was as powerful as a three-star lower spiritual emperor at peak
state.

But, of course, it was a piece of cake for him to handle beasts at that level.



So Ricky quickly brought the beast down with a single move, and he collected its heart and the pure
fighting energy.

"It feels like the pure fighting energy is much better in the arena than that in other places of the ancient
battlefield. My journey here would be worth it even if I can only get my hands on the pure fighting
energy,"

Ricky growled to himself in sheer excitement, as he sensed the fighting energy and the beast's heart.
