The Sky Sovereign Golden Eagle’s Legacy [Part- 2]

At the same time, every fragment of knowledge flowed into him with astonishing clarity.

The complete cultivation method of the Sky Sovereign Golden Eagle Sacred Agile Scripture engraved itself deep within his mind, becoming part of his very soul.

Moments passed.

The dazzling crimson-gold light slowly faded.

The violent trembling inside his consciousness gradually settled into calm.

Leon opened his eyes.

A brilliant gleam shone within his violet pupils.

"So... that’s how it works."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips as he carefully sorted through the enormous amount of knowledge he had just inherited.

Until now...

His teleportation ability had already allowed him to cross nearly a hundred kilometers in an instant.

To ordinary cultivators, such speed would be nothing short of miraculous.

Even seasoned experts would be left speechless.

But compared to the true power of the Sky Sovereign Golden Eagle...

It was insignificant.

The legendary divine beast could traverse hundreds of thousands of kilometers with a single beat of its wings.

That wasn’t merely speed.

It was absolute dominion over distance itself.

It ignored limits.

It surpassed space.

It transformed impossible journeys into a single effortless step.

As Leon grasped the profound principles hidden within the scripture, excitement surged through him.

His heart began beating faster.

A spark of anticipation ignited deep within his eyes.

"If I can completely master this Sky Sovereign Golden Eagle Sacred Agile Scripture..."

His lips curved upward.

"I’ll be able to cross hundreds of thousands of kilometers in an instant."

His eyes sparkled.

"When that day comes..."

"Who in this world could possibly outrun me?"

The thought alone filled him with anticipation.

His mind suddenly drifted back to his battle against the Inferno Swift Bird.

Although defeating it hadn’t been particularly difficult...

Actually killing it had been another matter entirely.

Its overwhelming speed had nearly allowed it to escape several times.

Had he been even slightly slower...

The battle might have dragged on endlessly.

Against enemies specializing in speed...

Power alone wasn’t enough.

If they truly wished to flee...

All one could do was watch their backs disappear into the horizon while swallowing clouds of dust.

Leon still remembered that feeling clearly.

It had been frustrating.

Now...

Everything had changed.

He gently clenched his fist.

A confident smile spread across his face.

"From today onward..."

"If I encounter another speed-type opponent..."

"They won’t be escaping so easily."

A gentle breeze lifted his long black hair.

His midnight robes embroidered with thin amethyst patterns fluttered softly.

"Hehe..."

"Not bad."

"I’m very satisfied."

He secretly praised the reward.

Closing his eyes once more, Leon briefly began comprehending the Sky Sovereign Golden Eagle Sacred Agile Scripture.

Thanks to the Purple Lotus of Great Principle blooming within his body, along with his Primordial Principle Physics physique, his comprehension speed was terrifying.

Complex runes that would normally require decades to understand became astonishingly clear.

Within moments...

He had already grasped the basic principles.

"Interesting..."

"So that’s the essence of speed..."

Unfortunately...

This wasn’t the right place to completely refine the precious bone.

The surrounding experts were still gathered near the Martial Emperor Tomb.

Once the Eternal Genesis Pill appeared, a chaotic battle was inevitable.

There wasn’t enough time.

Leon slowly placed the Sky Sovereign Golden Eagle Bone into his storage treasure before letting out a quiet breath.

"I’ll refine it later," he murmured to himself.

"There’ll be plenty of chances."

As he thought back on everything that had happened today, a satisfied smile spread across his face.

Today’s gains had gone far beyond anything he had expected.

Not only had he won Anna’s heart...

He had also traded a single supreme treasure for something infinitely more valuable.

An ancient inheritance that countless experts would have sacrificed everything to obtain.

The exchange almost felt unreal.

Leon couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.

"If every deal turned out like this..."

"I’d happily make them again and again."

"Who would ever refuse such a bargain?"

Beside him, Anna stood quietly in silence.

Her crimson eyes would occasionally drift toward Leon before she quickly looked away, pretending she had been staring somewhere else.

The Sky Sovereign Golden Eagle Bone rested safely inside her own storage treasure.

Every time she recalled the words he had spoken earlier—

"You are my entire world."

Her heartbeat would skip.

Warmth quietly bloomed inside her chest, spreading through her entire body.

Before she realized it, the corners of her lips lifted into a gentle smile.

Only after noticing it herself did she quickly compose her expression, hoping no one had seen.

Unfortunately for her...

Leon had noticed every little reaction.

The fleeting glance.

The soft smile.

The slight blush that appeared before disappearing just as quickly.

He simply smiled to himself without saying a word.

Some feelings no longer needed to be spoken aloud.

Sometimes...

A single glance said more than a thousand promises ever could.

Just then—

BOOM!!

A deafening explosion tore through the Martial Emperor Tomb.

The entire ancient ruin shook violently as if an invisible giant had struck the earth itself.

Rocks crashed from the ceiling.

Dust billowed into the air.

The ancient bronze coffin standing at the center of the battlefield suddenly trembled.

The countless mysterious runes engraved across its surface burst into dazzling golden radiance, illuminating the entire chamber.

An overwhelming medicinal fragrance surged outward like a tidal wave.

Within an instant, it filled every corner of the tomb.

The scent alone carried astonishing vitality, causing everyone’s blood to stir and their Spiritual Essence to circulate uncontrollably.

Many cultivators felt their exhaustion rapidly fading, while old hidden injuries began healing on their own.

Shock instantly spread across every face.

"The coffin moved!"

"What terrifying aura!"

"The ancient seal is opening!"

Someone’s voice rang out in uncontrollable excitement.

"The Eternal Genesis Pill!"

"The Eternal Genesis Pill has appeared!"

The moment those words echoed through the tomb...

Every pair of eyes dead locked onto the ancient bronze coffin.

The atmosphere exploded into chaos.
