Annihilation!
As soon as Duan Donghe spoke, all the powerful beings from the three Reincarnation Eras and the two Holy Lands gathered inside the Life-and-Death Corridor felt a tremor in their hearts. Except for the Hong Alliance, all other powerful beings were filled with anxiety, anger, and resentment. Originally, the long research had made them believe that Luo Feng, who was merely one or two years ahead of them, posed no significant threat. But they never expected… Luo Feng would be the first to meet the requirements!
“This is a big problem.”
“This is really bad now.”
“That damn human, how annoying! The Ancestor has already ordered us to stop at nothing to obtain the inheritance.” All these powerful beings were filled with anger and anxiety.
A group of Universe Sovereigns from the Purple Moon Holy Land were also exchanging messages telepathically. Lord Luchong furrowed his brows and transmitted mentally, “I can’t do anything about it. From the beginning, Duan Donghe has been favoring Luo Feng. Now Luo Feng is the first to meet the requirements of the Xihuang Puzzle. As the saying goes, the faster ones get faster. If this continues, his advantage will grow even larger! Then our chances of obtaining the inheritance will become even smaller…”
“Lord Luchong, why don’t we kill Luo Feng?”
“Yeah, Lord Luchong, we must kill him.”
“We would rather be annihilated by Duan Donghe… but we must kill Luo Feng and destroy their human opportunity.”
However, Lord Luchong transmitted mentally, “Don’t rush. This matter concerns not only us but also the East Emperor Holy Land, who feels the same urgency. The most anxious are those from the First Reincarnation Era, who are facing their final limit… If Luo Feng seizes this inheritance, it would mean the destruction of their First Reincarnation Era’s chance to transcend samsara. They will take action! Besides, in my opinion, breaking into that light-and-shadow palace will probably be very difficult.”
…
All major factions were silently exchanging thoughts.
Duan Donghe, however, coldly overlooked everyone and continued, “The human Galaxy already has my secret method protecting it. Even if you attack, you won’t be able to break through the protection and harm him. So it’s better not to throw your lives away! There is still a long time left to decipher the Xihuang Puzzle… Keep striving. The more puzzles you solve, the greater your chance of obtaining the inheritance.”
“If anyone can solve 6000 puzzles… they will directly receive the inheritance of my Duan Donghe lineage!”
Duan Donghe scanned the crowd below.
However, everyone remained calm… because regarding the claim of solving 6000 puzzles, Duan Donghe would mention it every time a new batch of candidates entered. Initially, newcomers would be very enthusiastic, but when they truly began to decipher, they realized… how incredibly difficult it was to solve 6000 puzzles. It was simply a dream.
“6000 puzzles? How difficult could that be? I’ve only just deciphered the 1005th puzzle,” sighed the Second Zhenzhu. “Old Seven is even stuck at the bottleneck of the 1000th puzzle. Every 1000 puzzles… represents a significant leap in depth. The puzzles from 1001 to 2000 must be even more profound. I don’t know what the minimum requirement is. I’ve deciphered up to the 1005th puzzle, which is the highest among my Divine Eye Race, yet I still haven’t met Duan Donghe’s baseline requirement.”
“But Luo Feng has already met the requirement. Could it be that Luo Feng has deciphered more puzzles than me?”
“Or perhaps the requirements differ between Universe Sovereigns and the strongest beings in the Universe?” The Second Zhenzhu speculated.
…
Duan Donghe looked at Luo Feng and said, “Human Galaxy, your current puzzle-solving has only just met my baseline requirement. Keep striving! The more puzzles you solve, the better…”
“Yes, Lord Duan Donghe.” Luo Feng slightly bowed.
Duan Donghe nodded.
Hua.
Then he directly dispersed and vanished. Only then did the entire Life-and-Death Corridor erupt into a cacophony of voices, as everyone began discussing among themselves.
Luo Feng scanned the surroundings, immediately noticing the hatred, resentment, and murderous intent in the eyes of many powerful beings looking at him. He couldn’t help but grin, “Want to kill me? Go ahead! I won’t fight back! Just like in the past eras, I’ll let you attack without retaliation.”
“Damn it.”
“Arrogant.”
“Scum.”
Many faction leaders gritted their teeth in frustration but were utterly helpless. Previously, they dared to attack him, but now… Duan Donghe had clearly stated that any attackers would be immediately eliminated and annihilated! Moreover, Duan Donghe had firmly declared that none of the present powerful beings could break through that light-and-shadow protection.
“Hahaha…” Luo Feng laughed, his gaze sweeping over the various Universe Sovereigns who had attacked him before. The provocation in his eyes was unmistakable.
This only made those Universe Sovereigns even more furious. However, they understood that Luo Feng was doing this intentionally… If they attacked, they would fall into Luo Feng’s trap.
“You dared to attack me freely before, but now you’re afraid,” Luo Feng shook his head, sighing under the watchful eyes of nearly a hundred thousand beings from the three Reincarnation Eras and the two Holy Lands, “How ridiculous! My time is precious, and I’m too lazy to waste it on you. I’ll continue my cultivation. This inheritance, I’m determined to obtain it.”
With that, Luo Feng sat cross-legged and resumed his meditation.
A hazy golden light-and-shadow palace surrounded Luo Feng, like a magnificent canopy.
…
The powerful beings of various races, especially those from the First Reincarnation Era and the two Holy Lands, approached the light-and-shadow palace to sense its aura. They could all feel a terrifying presence that made them shudder! Undoubtedly, this secret method of protection was extremely formidable. These Universe Sovereigns had already lost confidence even before attempting to break through.
They were filled with anxiety and anger but could do nothing, which only deepened their hatred toward Luo Feng!
“He dares to seize our race’s chance to transcend samsara! How despicable!”
“Damn it.”
They glared at Luo Feng with intense hatred.
Luo Feng scanned the surroundings, then grinned and closed his eyes, no longer bothering to look.
He had long become the target of everyone’s hatred!
Since Duan Donghe had shown favoritism toward him, all the major factions had surrounded and attacked him… Now that they had already broken ties, there was no need to care anymore. When true opportunities arise, one must charge forward fearlessly without hesitation! Regardless of how many… this inheritance, Luo Feng was determined to obtain it at all costs!!!
You’re angry? You’re threatening me?
Feel free to threaten.
Luo Feng isn’t afraid of anything!
On the contrary, I will strive with all my might to decipher the Xihuang Puzzle at an even faster pace, determined to obtain this inheritance!
…
Inside the virtual universe, mist swirled around, with pillars supporting three-dimensional illusions.
Luo Feng stood before the three-dimensional illusion of the 1001st puzzle, contemplating, while not far away, a white-robed man was observing the 2001st puzzle.
“Luofeng.”
“Luofeng, hahaha.”
“You didn’t even tell us about such good news.” Suddenly, several figures appeared not far away. They were the human race’s powerful figures led by the Founding Axe Creator and Chaos City Lord, along with Lords Dark, Icepeak, Youhou, and Longxing. All of them wore joyful expressions.
Luo Feng rose to greet them.
“We just found out,” the Founding Axe Creator laughed heartily, his voice resonating, “You’ve actually met Duan Donghe’s requirements! You’re the first to meet them! As the saying goes, the faster ones get faster. The longer this goes on, the greater your advantage will become. Your chances of obtaining this inheritance are the highest now. Don’t worry about anything else or any threats from other factions. At worst, our human race will remain in the Primordial Universe, hahaha… As long as we have this inheritance, our human race has a good chance of surpassing the two Holy Lands in the future. I’ve never heard of the two Holy Lands taking an inheritance this seriously before.”
“Exactly,” Chaos nodded in agreement, “Don’t think about anything else. Focus solely on seizing the inheritance!”
“Yes, Master,” Luo Feng also nodded, grinning, “They can’t do anything to disturb me now.”
“Good, good, good, we won’t disturb you either. Keep deciphering!” the Founding Axe directly said.
“We came just to congratulate you,” Lord Darkness also rarely wore a smile, “This is the greatest opportunity for our human race. Such an opportunity is probably rare even after hundreds or thousands of reincarnation eras. Missing it would be the greatest sin.”
“It’s all on you,” Lord Youhou shouted.
Lord Icepeak also encouraged him from the side.
They, a group of powerful beings, talked with Luo Feng… but none of them, including Luo Feng himself, noticed the white-robed man standing silently nearby, watching them all.
“The human race can only rely on their own efforts, while I can only watch helplessly from the sidelines,” the white-robed man sighed softly, shaking his head. Throughout endless eons, he had witnessed the human race facing various crises but was utterly powerless to intervene, for he had been permanently sealed away.
Because of this, Yuanzu, though he often traveled to various places and even appeared during human race meetings or Hong Alliance meetings, remained unknown to all.
Inside the virtual universe… he was its master.
Within the virtual universe, he was omnipotent.
“Luofeng, keep striving,” the white-robed man whispered softly. Despite possessing immense power, after that previous battle against the Primordial Universe’s core essence, he had gained profound insights. During his eternal imprisonment, he had grown even stronger. Now, he was confident enough to challenge samsara itself. But it was too late…
Permanently sealed away, he could do nothing.
“Primordial Universe, I will never submit to you.”
“Never!”
“Even if there’s only a sliver of hope, I will fight to the very end!” A terrifying light flashed in the white-robed man’s eyes as he turned his gaze toward the Xihuang Puzzle, silently resuming his research and cultivation.
…
Time passed, and the Life-and-Death Corridor aboard the Mausoleum Ship remained quiet, with all major factions gathered here, studying the Xihuang Puzzle.
Since Luo Feng had met Duan Donghe’s requirements, he naturally felt much more at ease.
He also decided to change his cultivation method!
For the past 500 years, he had been buried in cultivation… However, the more he studied the Xihuang Puzzle, the more he realized its similarities with secret techniques. Previously, Luo Feng had been too busy solving puzzles diligently to dare experimenting, but now… he decided to allocate 80% of his time to studying the Xihuang Puzzle and 20% to researching the secret techniques hidden within the Ninth Abyss’s secret space.
Studying both secret techniques and the Xihuang Puzzle side by side!
Needless to say—
It had taken centuries to travel from the Ninth Abyss to the Black Pattern Pillar Space!
And another few centuries from the Black Pattern Pillar Space to the Flame-Frost Domain!
Especially within the Black Pattern Pillar Space, where time flowed over 3000 times faster… so his research into the secret patterns had lasted an incredibly long time. Even the “Beast God Path” had been cultivated by Luo Feng to the seventh stage, nearing completion! Luo Feng had even stopped cultivating the Beast God Path, as the next step would be full mastery!
Once fully mastered… it might trigger a transcendence, becoming a Universe Sovereign!
To obtain the white wings, he must remain a Universe Ranker!
To receive Duan Donghe’s inheritance, maintaining the status of a Universe Ranker might be more advantageous!
Therefore, he had long ceased cultivating the laws…
His mastery of secret techniques had already reached the peak of a Universe Sovereign, creating a total of six supreme secret techniques, nearly completing the ultimate fusion secret technique.
“80% of my time studying the Xihuang Puzzle.”
“20% studying secret techniques.”
“Perhaps, by comparing them… my cultivation speed will be faster.” Luo Feng mused, “Moreover, I should occasionally take some time to refine my willpower. My will has yet to break through to the level of a Universe’s strongest being… If my will undergoes another transformation to a new level, my research into secret techniques might accelerate even further.”
