It has been about seven days since Alex learned about Sainthood from Serena.

During those seven days, Cyr sought Serena's assistance in searching for the Stone of Immortality. In exchange, he promised her something of great value, though Alex had no idea what it was. The fact that Serena agreed to help proved that his promise was no trivial matter.

Although Alex himself held little worth in Cyr's eyes, Cyr still extended the invitation to him out of courtesy, largely because of Serena's presence.

Together, the three scoured every corner of the Bizarre Beasts Cave for seven days, yet their efforts ended in failure. The Stone of Immortality seemed to have vanished without a trace.

Of course, what neither Cyr nor Serena realized was that Alex had already taken possession of the Stone of Immortality long ago.

Anyway, since the Stone of Immortality was already gone, Cyr helplessly decided to leave. He also didn't want to miss out on the inheritance of Saint Sovereign.

However, before leaving, Cyr once again questioned Alex about the traces of extreme vitality lingering on his body. This time, after a brief moment of thought, Alex decided to reveal the existence of the Extreme Life Blue Lotus. By doing so, he could completely convince Cyr and even Serena that he had not obtained the Stone of Immortality, thereby avoiding unnecessary suspicion and potential troubles in the future.

Indeed, upon seeing the Extreme Life Blue Lotus and the overwhelming vitality radiating from it, Cyr and Serena were convinced that Alex truly had not obtained the Stone of Immortality.

For a moment, Cyr was tempted to seize the lotus from Alex for himself, but perhaps because of Serena's presence, he suppressed his greed and abandoned the thought.

There were several reasons for his restraint. First, Serena's knowledge of the universe was extraordinary. She even knew how one could cultivate all the way to the Saint Sovereign Realm. Second, her origins seemed mysterious, carrying an air of unfathomable depth. And third, and most importantly, even though Serena had yet to reach the True Divinity Stage, Cyr felt an inexplicable dread from her. She made him feel threatened—something not even other Saint Foundation Stage warriors had ever managed to do.

He left after bidding farewell. And not long after his departure, Alex and Serena also left the Bizarre Beasts' Cave.

After leaving, Serena and Alex decided to meet three days later at the entrance of the Bizarre Beasts Cave before leaving for the Saint Sovereign Inheritance World together.

After Alex was left alone, he stayed there for a while, organizing his thoughts and gains before leaving as well. He went straight to meet Elyndra.

Then he immediately took out 5 Red Source Crystals and gave them to her.

She was already a Sky Devouring Beast. In order to evolve from Sky Devouring Beast to World Devouring Beast, she must devour 10 Red Source Crystals. She had already devoured 5 Red Source Crystals. Now that Alex had given five more, she immediately decided to find a secluded place and devour them.

After thinking for a moment, Alex handed Elyndra five more Red Source Crystals and told her to give them to her mother once she successfully evolved into a World Devouring Beast. By then, finding her mother would no longer be difficult.

As for Alex, he was preparing to enter the Saint Sovereign Inheritance World. He was not sure how long he would stay there. Thus, he asked Elyndra to reunite with her mother and wait for his return.

_Saint Sovereign Inheritance World_

Alex, Serena, and Cyr referred to this world as the Saint Sovereign Inheritance World. However, the countless others who had been drawn here by the resonating heartbeat simply called it 'the New World'.

This world was unlike any other. It had a peculiar rule. No matter where one goes inside this world, a surface-level introduction of that place would immediately imprint itself into their mind. This mysterious law made exploration both easier and more unsettling.

Thunder Spirit Mountain was no ordinary mountain. It was so enormous that an entire mountain range of the Immortal Heaven World could fit within its expanse, and even then, several miles of land would still remain unoccupied.

Above Thunder Spirit Mountain, thunderclouds gathered endlessly, and from time to time, bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking the mountain with destructive force.

Deep within the forest of Thunder Spirit Mountain, two figures—a man and a woman—could be seen moving swiftly through the trees. They were none other than Alex and Serena.

Five days had passed since they entered this world. During this time, they had traveled more than a hundred thousand miles, encountering and slaying several demonic beasts that seemed to appear in this world from unknown origins.

Other than the beasts, there were also many unknown dangers everywhere. Of course, there were also rewards.

Alex and Serena obtained a few treasures, but these treasures were not of much use to any of them.

He and Serena had been traveling for five days, and Serena's personality was indeed cold and aloof. On the way, as long as he didn't speak, Serena never spoke either.

Alex and Serena went straight into the depths of Thunder Spirit Mountain.

Suddenly, a powerful True Divinity Stage Beast appeared and pounced on them.

Alex was not surprised, nor did he act.

Serena's face was cold, her speed did not decrease, and she pointed out with her left hand, directly piercing the throat of the demonic beast.

This fierce beast was huge, and its four incisors were like iron, capable of biting through most of the toughest metals.

During this time, all the beasts that attacked were personally killed by Serena.

According to the surface information they've received upon coming here, Thunder Spirit Mountain was filled with all sorts of demonic beasts. The weakest of them were at the level of Origin Martial Gods. There are many True Divinity-leveled beasts as well.

As for beasts above True Divinity, there were none.

Alex wanted to replicate Heavenly Dao comprehended by these beasts; however, to his surprise, none of these beasts had comprehended a trace of Heavenly Dao.

When he asked, Serena explained that these beasts were born from a powerful formation. In fact, the entire world was shrouded in multiple layers of formations. Everything they saw—whether it was dirt, trees, beasts, mountains, seas, or more—was all the product of those powerful formations. Supported by such immensely powerful formations, these beasts did not need to comprehend the traces of the Heavenly Dao; they directly advanced to the rank of True Divinity.

And of course, this was deliberately arranged by the Inheritance Master, who was said to be a Saint Sovereign.

That night, the two of them stopped in an open area, which was still several hundred miles away from the very center of Thunder Spirit Mountain.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The sky rumbled loudly. From time to time, bolts of lightning could be seen descending from the sky, striking the mountain peak again and again.

Serena sat cross-legged on a large stone. She had her eyes closed as well, seemingly cultivating. From time to time, thin bolts of lightning flickered across her body, dancing on her skin for a few seconds before being reabsorbed into her.

Alex was not surprised. He had seen this happening many times in the past few days.

However, today, something happened.

Not long after Serena started cultivating, a peculiar cry came from not far away. Both of them looked in the sound's direction immediately.

Serena raised her brows. She flickered her finger, and a streak of light flashed out, clearing several meters of land in front of her.

It was also at this moment that a small beast covered in streaks of lightning appeared nearby. The small beast looked at Alex and Serena with curiosity.

For some reason, Alex felt that this beast was anything but ordinary. There was something uniquely special about it, something that stirred his Lightning God's Source Body and Bloodline, causing them to tremble with excitement. This was the first time they had ever shown such a reaction, and it naturally drew Alex's full attention.

Just then, Serena moved at an incredible speed, appearing before the small beast like a ghost, raising her right hand and grabbing it.

Just as the small beast was about to be caught by Serena, a flash of lightning suddenly streaked across, and the small beast's figure instantly vanished without a trace.

Alex's heart tightened when he saw this. That beast was so small, but its speed was exceptional. He felt that he could never catch up to that beast in terms of speed with his current strength.

Serena disappeared the moment the beast escaped, leaving Alex behind.

Alex didn't move. He regretted not looking at that beast's information immediately. His Lightning God's Source Body and Bloodline actually reacted to that beast, which means they can have some major effect on them.

Unfortunately, that beast had already escaped.

That small beast's speed was truly too fast. Even Serena was unable to catch up to it, for she returned empty-handed.
