“The original human Yan Chun has met the requirements.”
“The East Emperor Holy Land Zi Weikai has met the requirements.”
Duan Donghe stood at the very front of the corridor. He had remained in this corridor for an extended period without dissipating. This was because the number of individuals meeting the first bottleneck requirement had entered an explosive growth phase—
In a blink, the number surpassed 100 and continued to surge.
As for each individual breakthrough of the first bottleneck, Luo Feng paid no attention at all. He calmly continued his own approach to studying the Xihuang Formation!
……
Time passed.
In the 3900th year of Luo Feng receiving the inheritance, the speed of those breaking through the first bottleneck reached its peak, after which it gradually slowed down. Starting from the 5200th year, no one managed to break through the first bottleneck anymore.
“Is this the limit of your abilities?”
Duan Donghe shook his head indifferently, “Only 298 individuals have broken through the first bottleneck?”
Luo Feng, shrouded in the golden-red palace, also opened his eyes and nodded inwardly. The Xihuang Formation was not something that could be solved more effectively simply by spending more time. Many of the immortal deities here had limited potential; some might never even break through to become cosmic monarchs. Naturally, it was extremely difficult for them to break through the first bottleneck.
Among these 298 individuals who reached the first bottleneck, all seven of the strongest cosmic beings had achieved it! Every cosmic monarch had achieved it! A few immortal deities and some cosmic sovereigns had also met the requirements!
Of course, only Luo Feng himself had reached the second bottleneck.
“Hmm?” Duan Donghe shifted his gaze.
“The East Emperor Holy Land’s Bixue.” Duan Donghe looked over and nodded with a smile, “You have broken through the second bottleneck. It seems the two with the greatest hope of obtaining my Duan Donghe lineage’s inheritance are you and that human from the Milky Way. You must work hard and not slack off.”
“Yes, Master Duan Donghe.”
Disciple Bixue bowed.
At the same time, a crystal pillar began to rise from the corridor floor beside him. The pillar emitted light, forming a red palace overlapping with a golden palace… enveloped in golden-red light! It echoed beautifully with the golden-red palace surrounding Luo Feng in the distance.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“Bixue Disciple,” Luo Feng murmured silently.
“Bixue!”
“Bixue Disciple… the East Emperor Holy Land now looks to you.” The cosmic monarchs of the East Emperor Holy Land were all delighted and excited. Whoever from their side obtained the inheritance represented the entire holy land gaining the inheritance.
Disciple Bixue smiled faintly to those around him.
This inheritance opportunity was a major turning point in his destiny!
Before this, within the East Emperor Holy Land, which was filled with powerful beings, he was merely an average figure, one of the ‘quasi-cosmic monarchs.’ Because the East Emperor Holy Land had limited cosmic capacity, with so many cosmic monarchs already present, their group of quasi-cosmic monarchs simply couldn’t break through, unable to receive the supply of the holy land’s cosmic essence to ascend.
The consumption of divine power from a sovereign to a cosmic monarch was extremely significant. Without the essence supply, it was impossible.
He, Disciple Bixue…
From such an awkward quasi-cosmic monarch status, suddenly became the most dazzling figure in the entire East Emperor Holy Land, with a status even surpassing any cosmic monarch or strongest cosmic being! The East Emperor Holy Land’s ancestor even personally met him and said, “Your solution of the Xihuang Formation proves your potential… even if you don’t obtain the inheritance this time, you will still receive the best cultivation resources from our holy land in the future. You needn’t feel pressured… just do your best!”
“If your performance is good enough this time! And your potential proves limitless!”
“Even if it takes great effort, I will ensure you become a strongest cosmic being, even help you transcend samsara.” The ancestor’s promise had long ignited a burning desire within Bixue.
He was excited.
The passion that had lain dormant for who knows how long was burning again.
He felt as if he had returned to those youthful days of relentless struggle… filled with fighting spirit!
“Become a strongest cosmic being?”
“Isn’t it only the original universe that can nurture a strongest cosmic being? Could it be the ancestor also has a way? That’s right! Duan Donghe left behind this lineage’s inheritance, naturally hoping future generations would continue to cultivate and improve. If even a strongest cosmic being cannot be achieved, it would be laughable. The ancient civilization must have such means, and the ancestor, at great cost, might also be able to accomplish it.”
Bixue understood…
This was his greatest opportunity!
The opportunity to rise!
Even if he failed, as long as he proved his potential… proved exceptional potential, the East Emperor ancestor would reverse time and space to resurrect him and cultivate him again.
“Success!”
“What is Luo Feng?”
“I have been dormant for endless eons, without the qualification to enter the cosmic sea, living an ordinary life… waiting for this opportunity! A true chance to rise, I must grasp it tightly!” On the surface, Bixue appeared calm, but deep inside, he was in a state of frenzy. With this opportunity arising… he clung to it like a drowning man!
He burned with passion!
He burned with life!
All his wisdom and potential erupted at this moment!
……
Black Veined Pillar Space.
The towering Black Vein Pillar pierced directly into the endless clouds at its summit. The entire Black Vein Pillar radiated an infinite, overwhelming will that pressed down like an unstoppable force, as if countless blood-stained black-armored legions were charging forward with thunderous roars.
This place was where Luo Feng honed his willpower.
The clone of the Mosha Clan had always remained here, with no other powerhouses in the vicinity. Since the Black Pattern Pillar Space contained sixteen Black Pattern Pillars… nearly all the powerhouses had gathered around the second Black Pattern Pillar to frequently listen to the explanations given by the Beichi Star Lord. As a result, Luo Feng’s area was rather deserted.
Even a pebble detached itself from the massive boulder, hovering in midair as it gradually drifted toward the Black Veined Pillar, its movement agonizingly slow.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
Infinite roars.
The willpower impact was like waves, each one more powerful than the last, relentlessly crushing Luo Feng’s will.
Generally, when studying the Xihuang Formation or secret techniques, the Mosha Clan clone would fly to a slightly distant boulder, even retreating to the edge of the boulder, making the willpower impact very small and not affecting cultivation. However, when honing his willpower… he would push himself to approach his limits as much as possible. Under such extreme pressure, it became impossible for him to focus on cultivation any further.
“Roar~~~”
The stone began to wriggle and transform, becoming a naked man, with complex spatial secret patterns on his skin.
Like the Mosha Clan clone, if killed under special circumstances… it would revert to its ‘original form,’ with spatial secret patterns appearing on the skin at this original form state… the most relaxed and burden-free form of the Mosha Clan clone. Under such extreme pressure, even reaching a critical point…
The Mosha Clan clone couldn’t help but revert to its original form.
“Just a little more.”
“Just a little more.”
Luo Feng’s willpower roared.
In fury!
He had a feeling… he was about to break his limits, just a little bit more, he had never been so close to breaking through before!
“Break through nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
