"Grip of the Earth!"

"Arbitration Strike!"

"Sky-covering Palm Imprint!"

Perhaps the sovereigns were not just sitting ducks. In the instant of Conesy's bombardment, a huge earth golem rose from the ground and reached out its massive hands to grab Conesy, but was ultimately pulverized by lasers.

Another enormous slash spanning hundreds of meters, infused with terrifying blade power, momentarily clashed with the dense lasers before also being completely shattered. In the end, only a large handprint managed to withstand for a while.

"Crack, crack!" The time that the handprint could hold up against the force of the slash was still not enough, and it shattered into flying energy fragments. Then the lasers rained down, causing the earth to quake and the sound of thunderous detonations.

"You're seeking death!"

An enraged voice sounded, and amidst the smoke, three figures flew out. Every one of them was covered in bloodstains, with torn clothes that looked just as tattered as those of beggars. Although they appeared to be in sorry states, in reality, the three sovereigns had not suffered any severe injuries.

"Earthly Body!"

"Earthly Sword!"

The power of a sovereign surged forth, and a thousand-meter-tall earth golem rose from the ground. It reached into the earth with a vengeance and extracted a massive rock sword, striking it toward Conesy with terrifying force.

"But how?!" It was entirely unexpected that Conesy was only using an unmatched trident to block the attack of the rock sword. Behind Conesy, the enormous cannon turret slowly lifted, with a fiery red light swirling within.

"Die!" Another sovereign attacked from the side, wielding a straight sword that was sharp and powerful, a clearly extraordinary weapon.

"Is that so?" Conesy was completely unafraid as two cannons from behind turned toward the earth golem.

"Boom!" The cannons roared.

"Ah!" The second sovereign let out a heart-rending scream, almost instantly being hit by the cannon at point-blank range. The life-saving items on his body shattered one after another. Even so, this sovereign still had one arm blasted off by the cannon and was flung out who knows how far before landing on the ground, his fate unknown.

"It's your turn now!" Conesy's gaze turned icy as both cannon turrets simultaneously fired at the earth golem. The explosion instantly engulfed the golem, and in the end, only a charred figure flew out.

"Hahaha! You fell into my trap!" The remaining sovereign laughed. Originally, there were three of them. One of them had already made a move against Bexia. Since she was their master, as long as they captured Bexia, wouldn't all the problems be solved?

"How ignorant!" A voice resonated from within Conesy's body. It was Christine, who had merged with her.

"Ah!" Suddenly, a miserable scream was heard. The sovereign who had been so full of laughter froze in place. Blood lines like veins began manifesting from his forehead, and then his body shattered into countless fragments.

"How is this possible?! The power of space! You... you are a saint! Spare me..." The sovereign pleaded, but a beam of light shot out from Conesy, an arrow of spiritual energy that hit his forehead, cutting off his consciousness completely.

"Master, the mission is complete!" Conesy, after deactivating her virtual armor, immediately ran over to report the situation to Bexia.

"You've worked hard!" Knowing her personality, Bexia compromised and said to her.

"For the master to clear obstacles is our honor!"

"......" Bexia silently pursed her lips, looked at the serious Conesy, and reached out to pat his head as a reward.

"Oh, Master! These are our spoils." Christine returned, after she went to finish off the monarch who attacked Conesy and collected the storage props of the three monarchs.

Of course, the storage equipment of the monarch who attacked Bexia was also among them. Unfortunately, this monarch who dared to attack Bexia was instantly sliced by Lady Cloud's spatial cutting, and was the most miserable one to die.

"Christine, you tidy up these things first. Let's go and take the Bright Luminous Crystal!" Bexia said.

Arriving at the lake, there was a small island in the center, with a pale golden crystal standing on it. A quiet and peaceful aura emanated from it. The Bright Luminous Crystal not only had a restraining effect on dark and evil things, but also had a special effect of calming and focusing one's mind. Such a large piece of it was extremely valuable!

"This Bright Luminous Crystal is about five cubic meters. If we auction it in the outside world, it would be worth at least two billion dimensional coins!" Conesy grabbed the Bright Luminous Crystal and used brute force to pull it out of the rock.

"Not bad, this is our first income from this operation!" Bexia opened a subspace, and Conesy directly threw the Bright Luminous Crystal into it. Compared to the material cost of her warship body, two billion was nothing.

And there were still three monarchs' storage equipment that hadn't been organized. Presumably, there should be gains inside, but it's hard to say.

The Bright Luminous Crystal was just a small episode. Christine brought back Baizhi and the others, and the group continued forward. Unexpectedly, this space was quite large. After a long while, Bexia and the others encountered a hurried passerby, who was just a champion.

Through this disheveled champion, Bexia also learned some information, such as the central area of this ruin having a trial of sorts. It was said that it contained everything left by the owner of this ruin, and the purpose of this ruin was to select an heir. However, one must pass the tests left here to prove oneself capable.

The path to the palace was called the Road of Holy Light. Once a person enters, they will be on trial, and they will receive rewards for each level passed. Only by completing all the light cards can one become the heir of the owner of this ruin and inherit everything inside the palace.

But now, the competition on the Road of Holy Light was not very intense. Almost everyone who entered the ruin ran towards it. Compared to resources in other areas, becoming the inheritor of the ruin had a greater appeal. After all, this palace was a "small world treasure" forged by immortals. What is the concept of an immortal inheritance?

Moreover, once one becomes the inheritor, they would have control over the entire palace. Why would they need to search for resources everywhere?

"Let's go take a look too!" Bexia was also tempted. If she could obtain the position of being the inheritor, the whole palace would be hers. Why would she need to work hard to find things?

And with an immortal collection, it would definitely be of great value. By then, Conesy's warship body would have a place to settle.

Letting go of the disheveled champion, Bexia and her group flew towards the center of this small world at full speed. From a distance, they saw a pillar of light that reached the sky and earth. At first, they didn't pay attention, but it turned out to be the Road of Holy Light, the place where the inheritor's test takes place.
