Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Securing the Cave, Group Comprehension of The Immortals' Inheritance

?

There was still some distance between them and the cave where the last Hunter Queen had appeared. The number of Hunters was overwhelming, and John wasn't confident he could safely escort everyone at once.

Leave in groups!

The first group would need to have enough strength to block the cave entrance and hold off the Hunters.

With a plan in mind, John turned to Avis and asked, "Avis, if you return to your full size, how many people can you carry at once?"

At the moment, Avis had taken human form to help lighten John's burden in fighting the Hunters.

Avis thought for a moment and replied, "Master, at most, I can carry about 500 people. Any more than that and my flight speed will be affected."

"That's enough," John nodded. At 500 people per trip, it would take five trips to transport everyone.

"Godslayer, I can carry around 100 people," Judy quickly chimed in. Her strength even surpassed Avis, but her small frame and lack of flying skills limited her capacity.

John shook his head and declined, "Your flight speed is too slow, and you can't cover as wide an area."

Judy, feeling a bit dejected, said no more.

John immediately began assigning the first group, saying, "Elsa, Undead Lord, Sara, Bonnie - can you hold the cave entrance?"

Elsa and Undead Lord were familiar with the cave from before.

They nodded, but the Undead Lord hesitated, "But we won't be able to get inside."

"Don't worry, the creature inside has already been slain by me. You can enter now," John explained.

The reason he was the only one able to enter the cave last time was that he had plundered Shadow Power, and the Queen had interfered with access.

Now that the Queen was dead, the barrier preventing entry had been removed.

Plus, with his Soul Perception, he had confirmed that none of the five new Hunter Queens were in that cave.

He continued, "The first group will consist of the Blues Family disciples. Anna, Yuel, Ada, Judy-you'll go as well."

After naming several women, he turned his attention to Jean.

The little girl quickly reassured him, "Big brother, with The Tree of Life protecting me, I'll be safe."

"Good." John nodded and then looked at Behemoth. "Behemoth, make sure to keep Jean safe."

Behemoth promptly replied, "Don't worry, sir. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to Miss Jean."

John said nothing more.

Avis returned to his true form-a massive black dragon. Over 300 members of the Blues Family quickly climbed aboard.

In addition, over 100 elves were arranged, bringing the total to more than 500.

Roar!

With a mighty roar, Avis soared into the sky, ignoring the Hunters' attacks as he sped toward the cave.

He knew that John would handle the Hunters for him.

Flying at top speed, Avis moved through the air while Hunters fell like rain around him.

Soon, they reached the cave.

There was no sign of any life inside-it was absolutely safe.

John immediately said, "Quick, get inside. Elsa, Undead Lord, I'm counting on you two here."

As he spoke, he handed over more than 10,000 artifacts to both of them.

Although these artifacts might not perfectly suit their abilities, they all possessed ultimate skills. If they ran out of mana, they could use the artifacts' skills to hold off the Hunters. "Don't worry, Master, we've got this," Elsa said confidently as she accepted the artifacts. She then led the Blues Family disciples and the others into the cave while the Undead Lord took charge of guarding the entrance.

After ensuring they could secure the entrance, John left.

"Avis, let's go!" he commanded, and Avis quickly shrunk back to a smaller size.

Together, they charged into the horde of Hunters.

John moved like a whirlwind through the battlefield, protecting Avis as they sped toward the Undying Flame's location.

Once again, they carried 500 elves, rushing them back to the cave.

Transporting only 500 people at a time and moving through the air made the task much easier for him.

With the help of Avis, John completed five trips in less than a day, successfully escorting everyone into the cave without a single casualty.

"Master, you should rest for a while. The Undead Lord and I can hold the entrance," Elsa suggested, noticing John's exhaustion.

The Undead Lord quickly nodded in agreement, assuring him that they could manage.

"All right," John agreed. He was indeed tired, and he had other matters to attend to.

He headed deeper into the cave, where the Blues Family disciples and the elves were curiously exploring their surroundings.

The cave was spacious enough that even with over 2,000 people, it didn't feel crowded.

"Hm?" John noticed something unusual-the broken shell fragments and the corpse of the Hunter Queen that had been there were now gone.

Perhaps they were devoured by other Hunters.

Not giving it much thought, he pulled out The Immortals' Inheritance, planting the giant

sword in the center of the cave.

Jean also brought out The Tree of Life.

Like Avis, The Tree of Life could freely change its size.

Additionally, The Tree of Life could fortify the cave, preventing the Hunters from breaching

the mountain walls.

It also emitted vast amounts of life force, which would aid in refining The Immortals'

Inheritance.

"Master," John said as he approached Chris, pulling out a large quantity of The

Immortals' treasures and Spirit Stones. "Let's start by letting everyone refine these

treasures."

These treasures were all obtained from the Azure Family disciples he had slain at the Seal Grounds, more than enough for the 300-plus Blues Family members to use for refining and fusing with artifacts.

He then took out other treasures from various races, handing them to Bonnie, and said, "Bonnie, if there are suitable treasures for the elves, let them start refining them to increase

their strength."

These treasures were ones he had picked up during the raid on the Gods' Void Area a few days ago. Unfortunately, there were only about 300 sets, not enough for all the elves to refine

artifacts.

The only regret was that the Hunters didn't drop any treasures.

It seemed they couldn't refine treasures, which might explain why they were unable to break

through the demigod level.

"Thank you, my lord," Bonnie said gratefully.

John nodded and then removed the restriction on The Immortals' Inheritance, allowing

everyone to receive its power.

The inheritance of The Immortals was immense, and even tens of thousands of people

wouldn't deplete it. Moreover, the 2,000 people here would become his future strength. As soon as the restriction on the giant sword was lifted, Avis was the first to rush forward eagerly, sensing and merging with the portion of The Immortals' Inheritance that suited him. Everyone began refining and fusing with their treasures, absorbing The Immortals'

Inheritance.

John didn't remain idle either. He took a moment to check his own attributes.

After nearly three days of relentless combat and slaughtering countless Hunters, his power

had increased significantly, despite the dangers.

Especially his four main attributes.

His physique had reached over 2.4 million points, his strength surpassed 5.5 million points, his spirit was at 3.5 million points, and his agility had reached 2.3 million points.

With his current power, he could now easily annihilate demigods with his ultimate skills, and killing lower-tier gods posed no challenge at all.

Even against mid-tier gods, as long as they weren't among the top-tier resurrected beings from the Seal Grounds, he was confident he could take them down. However, what excited him most was the prospect of upgrading his One Breath, Three

Purities talent.

All he needed was to kill one more Hunter Queen and obtain another Soul Essence, and he would be able to activate it.

But before leaving, he needed to ensure that the cave was secure.

He approached the entrance of the cave to relieve Elsa and the Undead Lord. "I've unlocked

The Immortals' Inheritance. You should try to see if you can receive the inheritance." The two of them were overjoyed.

Elsa, however, noticed that John still seemed fatigued and frowned, "Master, have you not

rested?" John smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry. This level of combat is like rest for me. I'll need to step out for a while, so focus on improving your strength while I'm gone." Elsa, knowing his nature, sighed inwardly but said nothing. She and the Undead Lord retreated deeper into the cave to immerse themselves in The Immortals' Inheritance.

...

John wasn't exaggerating. For him, this kind of battle posed no challenge.

With The Tree of Life fortifying the terrain, the Hunters couldn't damage the area around the

cave. At most, only four Hunters could attack at a time.

He felt no pressure whatsoever.

For two days, John guarded the cave until Elsa and the Undead Lord emerged, followed closely

by Avis.

"You've already obtained The Immortals' Inheritance?" he asked, surprised.

The first time he refined The Immortals' Inheritance, it took him seven full days. Of course, he

had fully mastered it.

Elsa, brimming with joy, replied, "Master, my four basic attributes have increased by 200,000 points, and my understanding of The Law of Light has greatly deepened. I also feel that I can continue to gain more from The Immortals' Inheritance as I grow stronger."

The Undead Lord nodded in agreement but glanced at Avis and added, "But the biggest

improvement was made by this guy."

"Oh?" John was puzzled, not sensing any significant change in Avis's strength. "Master," Avis said proudly, "I've sensed an inheritance as powerful as the Cand-Dragon Bloodlines, but I'm too weak to refine it yet. I need to get stronger."

He could tell that fully gaining that inheritance's power would require at least reaching

demigod-level strength.

Suddenly, Avis grinned and asked, "Master, do you think Cand-Dragon will regret not joining

The Immortals once he realizes how powerful this inheritance is?"

John chuckled, but didn't say much more. Seeing the improvement in their strength made him genuinely happy.

Elsa spoke up, "Master, you should rest. We can take it from here." "Alright." This time, John didn't refuse. After days of relentless battle, his mind and body were utterly exhausted, and only his iron will had kept him going. Moreover, he still needed to kill a Hunter Queen, so his strength needed to be fully restored.

He headed back into the depths of the cave, where life energy pulsed through the air, and

multiple laws of power weaved through the space. There were even several laws he had never encountered before.

Most of the group was deep in meditation, absorbing The Immortals' Inheritance. Jean and Behemoth, in particular, radiated strong, unique laws of power.

John didn't think too much about it. He leaned back against the trunk of The Tree of Life and

quickly drifted into sleep.

Sini opened her eyes, noticing how exhausted he looked. Her heart ached as she quietly got up, moved to his side, and gently pulled him into her embrace.
