This was a multi coloured glow that matched the colours of the stone itself.
These were the five colours that represented the five different sacred beast races.
It kept flickering with this five coloured glow until it finally stopped and there was a crack that formed on the stone.
The moment that this stone cracked, the reaction was instant. There was a spider web crack that formed all over the stone before it suddenly shattered apart to reveal a single thing.
Lin Fan just looked down at this thing with a strange look.
All of the elders couldn't help coming in closer to see what this thing was too.
Instead of the stone that had been in his hand, there was now a key.
This was a key that was as black as night and didn't have a single trace of colour unlike the stone from before. It was so dark that it was almost as if it drained all the colour from the surrounding area.
Lin Fan could feel the void laws that were contained within this key, but he couldn't help slightly knitting his brows when he felt this.
That was because…it was as if there was something missing from this key.
The void laws were much stronger than before and they were much more complex than any void laws that he had seen before. These void laws were even stronger than the ones that the Lin Astral Emperor had shown him before.
But it was as if these void laws were missing that one final ingredient that would make them complete.
It was just that Lin Fan didn't know what that was.
That is until he noticed that there was something strange about this key.
When he looked clearly, he saw that there were four different cracks that were on the key.
They were evenly split apart and with these four cracks, the key was split into five different parts. These five parts weren't exactly even since the different parts of the key were of different sizes, but they were divided evenly in terms of length.
That wasn't the strange thing about this key though.
The strange thing about this key was that there was a familiar aura that came from each part of the key. This was an aura that Lin Fan had sensed before when he made his way to the worlds of each of the five sacred beast races.
This was the aura that he had sensed when he met each of the five sacred beast god fragments.
At the same time though, it also felt like there was something missing from the aura of these five sacred beast god fragments. Just like the void law, it was like there was a key ingredient that was missing.
That is until Lin Fan suddenly remembered something.
Could it be that there was another reason that they couldn't give the stones over unless the true descendant was found?
Could it be that there was a deeper meaning to how it was all designed?
Since that was the case, the five true descendants should also play a role in unlocking the true power of this key.
So without any hesitation, Lin Fan called out the rest of them.
The moment that the other four appeared, all of the elders in the room regardless of which race they came from revealed shocked looks. That was because all of them could sense the aura that was coming from each one of these pets that Lin Fan had called out.
The elders of the Dragon Race, the Phoenix Race, the Qilin Race, and the White Tiger Race had more subdued reactions since they had already thought of this, but the elders of Black Tortoise Race couldn't help revealing absolutely shocked looks.
That was because they didn't know that the true descendants of the other races had been found.
But when they calmed down and thought about it, they realized that this wasn't that strange since Lin Fan had brought out that multi coloured stone. That multi coloured stone was already proof that they had been found since the other races would never hand over their stones if their true descendants hadn't been found.
The elders of the other races would never hand over their stones unless their true descendant was found after all.
The elders of the Black Tortoise Race couldn't help revealing bitter looks as they looked at the elders from the other four sacred beast races.
During this time, Lin Fan had been calming down his pets after summoning them.
After they had been called out, they had all been attracted by the aura that came from the key and had been intensely looking at it.
Lin Fan was able to draw their attention away from the key and asked, "Can you give me a drop of each of your blood?"
The five of them were surprised and confused to hear Lin Fan ask this, but they didn't hesitate to draw out a drop of blood from their fingers.
These five drops of blood floated in the air with the life energy of these five. Lin Fan then wrapped his own life energy around these five drops of blood and brought them over in front of him.
Holding the key in his hand, he looked at five drops of blood that were in front of him.
Then slowly, he controlled the drop of blood from Xiao Feng until it was right over the key.
He controlled it so that it was brought to the very end of the key where the loop of the key was. This was the part of the key that released the aura of the Dragon God Fragment.
The moment that this drop of blood came close to the key, there was a feeling of attraction between it and the key. This was similar to the sense of attraction that Lin Fan had felt before when he brought stones of different races together.
So without hesitation, Lin Fan released his control of the blood and let it fall.
The moment that it did, it was pulled by some invisible force into the key and then disappeared without a trace.
Then the part of the key that corresponded with this drop of blood was suddenly surrounded in an azure glow. The glow went no further than the crack that had formed in the key and only surrounded that one part of the key.
The rest of the key just remained still after this drop of blood was absorbed.
Lin Fan waited a bit to gauge the reaction of the key, but seeing that nothing was happening…he brought the second drop of blood over and let it be absorbed as well.
The second drop of blood was Xiao Huo's blood and it was absorbed by the part under the ring part of the key. It still contained a bit of the ring, but mainly it was part of the shaft of the key.
The moment that this second drop of blood was absorbed, the same thing as before happened where there was a red glow that appeared around this part of the key.
Once the glow appeared, there was nothing else that happened.
It was clear that unless all the parts of the key were lit up, nothing was going to happen.
So this time, Lin Fan brought two drops of blood down at the same time.
Both of them were absorbed and the glows representing the Qilin Race and White Tiger Race appeared around the key. There was only a single portion of the key that wasn't lit up after this.
Since there were already four different coloured glows around this key, it was clear what this final part of the key was.
It was the Black Tortoise Race portion of the key.
But before putting it in, Lin Fan tried to use his spiritual sense to scan the key to see if anything had changed. He found that there wasn't a single thing that had changed about the key, which included the part that was already glowing.
Even though it was glowing, the key itself was still the same as before.
So Lin Fan brought the final drop of blood forward and let it fall onto the key.
The moment that this final drop of blood was absorbed, there was a burst of light.
The glows that were already around the key suddenly exploded and became super bright. At the same time, there was a deep black glow that appeared around the final segment of the key that seemed to swallow all light that came towards it.
These five different coloured glows flashed one final time before disappearing without a trace, but that didn't matter. That was because the feeling of the key had completely changed.
It now had a void law that was even more powerful than the one that it contained before and it seemed like it could be used for different things.
But before Lin Fan could do anything with the key, a voice suddenly said, "My successor, this is my inheritance. I hope that you will be able to accomplish what I couldn't in the past."
Before anyone could react, the key floated into the air and then suddenly entered Lin Fan's body.
By the time that they knew what happened, the key had disappeared without a trace.
They all looked at Lin Fan, looking at where the key had entered his body, but they couldn't find a thing.
It was as if nothing had happened just now with how the key had disappeared completely.
