The passage created by the explosive impact was a straight vertical tunnel, with a rather limited diameter.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” The vast array of treasures couldn’t possibly align perfectly parallel to the tunnel walls. It was as if glass beads were bouncing off walls—clattering and clanging, with treasures colliding against the walls, rebounding at an angle, then striking the opposite wall and bouncing again at another angle…
It was chaotic and disordered.
Yet, Zi Zhongwang’s eyes were ablaze with excitement, his heart pounding with indescribable exhilaration.
An average person witnessing a massive number of gold ingots rolling chaotically down a street, scattered all over the place, would also feel thrilled—even though it seemed messy and chaotic.
“They’re all mine, all mine!”
“Hahaha…”
“I’ll buy a couple more Flame God Source Crystals later.”
“And purchase the right to comprehend the ‘Flame Bell Divine Mountain,’ along with numerous treasures that accelerate the recovery of an immortal body, and also…” Zi Zhongwang rapidly flew downward, collecting the countless treasures bouncing chaotically around him, his mind racing with excitement over how to arrange everything in the future. The treasures scattered across the universe were simply too numerous.
All sorts of treasures.
Some, like the Purple Bell, were treasures that even a Cosmic-level Sovereign would value highly.
Others, like the Shi Wu Wings, were treasures that could drive Cosmic-level Sovereigns to madness.
Even higher-grade treasures were those frequently used by Sovereigns of the Universe themselves.
Then there were various other items, such as the “Jiang Jia Royal Armor,” which had peculiar activation conditions and strange effects.
In short…
Countless treasures! Yet treasures were things one had to venture into secret cosmic realms to obtain, fight fiercely over with powerful opponents, and purchase with immense wealth!
“Hahaha… What a thrill, what a thrill.”
“It’s just too thrilling.” Zi Zhongwang dove downward, collecting every treasure he could find.
…
Swoosh!
The Shi Wu Wings were continuously falling downward, with the chained treasure chest beside them, along with a large number of other treasures.
“I actually have such a great opportunity. Haha!” A metal fragment suddenly materialized beside the Shi Wu Wings, transforming into a G-grade metal fragment mimicking the appearance of the Mosha Clan clone. Of course, it only copied the aura; internally, it was hollow and superficial. After all, the Mosha Clan clone wasn’t yet capable of transforming its internal structure into true G-grade metal.
Swoosh!
The Shi Wu Wings vanished, already absorbed into the inner world. The world ring then merged into the metal fragment of the Mosha Clan clone. Because the altar’s environment prevented detection, and with residual energy waves continuously rippling, the descending Zi Zhongwang high above had absolutely no way of noticing.
“This chained treasure chest is mine too.”
Swoosh!
The treasure chest bound by twelve chains, with some metal fragments still attached to the chains, abruptly disappeared.
“The Lightning Spear of the Cangold King? Tsk tsk, it’s actually still intact. It’s mine too.”
“What is this? A space ring? A world ring? Hmm, it seems that within the shattered world ring of Cangold King, there were also some space rings and world rings stored. I’ll take those too!”
“Tsk tsk… The container preserving the ‘Purple Chariot Divine Tree Marrow’ is really durable. It didn’t break even after hitting the walls so many times. Hmm, I’ll take it.”
“Wow, this must be worth ten billion Chaos Units. I’ll take it too.”
“Take! Take! Take!”
“I’m taking it all!”
The metal fragment transformed from the Mosha Clan clone was freely collecting the falling treasures, as if golden ingots were raining from the sky. Luo Feng was grabbing everything that came his way, without hesitation. Meanwhile, Zi Zhongwang, diving from high above, was also collecting treasures. One was below, one was above, both gathering treasures simultaneously.
“Hm? Where did that chained treasure chest go?” Zi Zhongwang frowned, puzzled as he dove downward.
“Could it have collided with the wall and fallen into a side corridor or something?”
This bombardment had created a 6000-kilometer-long passage, naturally connecting to some of the altar’s existing corridors and chambers. Thus, some treasures had bounced into side passages and corridors.
“The chained treasure chest must be found. I’m afraid even all the other treasures combined may not be as valuable as that chest.”
“And that human…”
Zi Zhongwang also thought darkly about the unknown treasures of the human Luo Feng. At the moment when Cangold King self-destructed, numerous treasures were blasted outward, including the silver wings. Amidst the chaos of countless treasures, Zi Zhongwang couldn’t distinguish which one belonged to the human Luo Feng.
“First, I must find the ‘chained treasure chest’ of the altar’s treasure.”
“This is the most valuable one. Once I bring it back, I’ll naturally find a way to open it.” Zi Zhongwang began searching. While searching, whenever he spotted a treasure, he would immediately collect it. However, he placed these treasures directly into a ‘space ring.’ Zi Zhongwang had experienced much before.
He knew that some strange life forms in the universe might not appear alive from the outside, but if they were absorbed into a world ring, it would be disastrous. Therefore, for particularly valuable treasures, he would store them in space rings.
“Even the smallest bit counts.”
“This is G-grade metal after all. I’ll take it too.” Zi Zhongwang collected the various-sized G-grade metal fragments. This metal was extremely valuable—each fragment alone could bankrupt an ordinary immortal being. Combined, their total value reached over hundreds of millions of Chaos Units.
“Where is the chained treasure chest?”
“Where could it be?”
Zi Zhongwang anxiously searched but couldn’t locate the chest.
“What’s going on? Which side passage did it fall into?” Zi Zhongwang grew increasingly anxious. Among the many treasures, the ‘chained treasure chest’ of the altar’s treasure was what he valued most, yet it was nowhere to be found.
“Whoosh!”
Zi Zhongwang collected another metal fragment.
“Boom~~” The space ring automatically rejected it, ejecting the metal fragment outward.
“What’s going on?” Zi Zhongwang was startled, quickly turning his head toward the metal fragment.
“Hahahaha~~~”
A figure suddenly appeared—an individual with silver wings, the human ‘Luo Feng.’ The metal fragment landed in Luo Feng’s hand, and the world ring directly merged into his skin, while the Mosha Clan clone returned to his inner world.
“You, you, you…” Zi Zhongwang’s cold little eyes widened in shock, staring intently at the figure before him.
Clad in silver battle armor and silver wings, Luo Feng hovered in midair, his wings gently flapping as he smiled at Zi Zhongwang and softly said, “Thank you, Zi Zhongwang.”
…
The three native powerhouses inside the altar’s core control room had been monitoring everything from beginning to end. The initial violent bombardment had torn apart the treasure chamber, destroyed layer upon layer of rooms, and devastated much of the altar’s internal structures. There had been a brief moment of monitoring chaos, but it quickly stabilized.
They could clearly see Zi Zhongwang diving downward to collect treasures, and they also noticed… the treasures at the lower levels mysteriously disappearing one by one. When Luo Feng finally appeared, they all cried out in alarm.
“It’s that human.”
“He’s actually still alive.”
“If even the strongest alien has died, how could he still be alive? No wonder Elder Qiu Chika said… some super elites from the four peak clans possess numerous treasures and techniques, advising us to remain patient and not seek revenge yet. Indeed, they are terrifying… Even the strongest alien, with such immense power, perished. This human, who previously seemed only to be a peak-level Sovereign, has managed to survive until now.”
Puai, Latimer, and Menbu couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
In this fierce struggle for the treasures, the ultimate winner… seemed to be this human.
“He is the biggest winner.”
“Yes, the treasures from our treasure chamber have fallen into his hands.”
“The inheritance chamber holds countless secret techniques, but it’s the treasure chamber that contains the most valuable treasures for these aliens.” The three native powerhouses felt profound regret, especially Sovereign Puai. When Elder Qiu Chika fell, Sovereign Puai naturally became the highest leader of their clan’s lineage, and he keenly felt the immense pressure of ensuring the clan’s survival.
When the sky falls, the tallest shoulders bear the burden.
Therefore, the pressure of survival usually weighs most heavily on the clan’s strongest members.
“I never expected their battle could destroy the treasure chamber,” Sovereign Puai sighed, shaking his head. “We originally intended to wait until they left through the divine realm teleportation. Now the treasure chamber is torn and damaged, and the chained treasure chest has been taken by them. Even the altar itself… has been pierced through for 6000 kilometers. The sacrificial mystical patterns arranged by the Sovereigns in ancient times have suffered massive destruction, retaining only ten to twenty percent of their original effects. The altar is now useless.”
“Let’s go back,” Sovereign Puai said to Latimer and Menbu. “The chained treasure chest from the treasure chamber has been obtained by the aliens. The altar’s most valuable part—the sacrificial mystical patterns arranged by the Sovereigns long ago—has sustained extensive damage, leaving only weak effects. The altar is now useless.”
“Yes,” Menbu and Latimer nodded.
“At least we have obtained our clan’s inheritance,” Sovereign Puai said softly. “With this inheritance, our clan has a future.”
Back on Earth, the importance of cultural and knowledge inheritance had long been recognized.
In the vast universe with countless races…
The unique cultivation techniques of each race, accumulated over countless years by numerous powerful individuals, formed the most vital part of their clan’s heritage. If all the top-tier experts of a clan were to perish, leaving only a handful of weaker immortals alive, the clan would have to rely solely on the techniques preserved in the memories of these survivors—far from sufficient to restore the clan to its former strength.
Without the inheritance of countless secret techniques… over the long course of time, the clan might eventually perish, let alone rise to power again—such a possibility was nearly nonexistent.
But with the inheritance of their clan’s secret techniques… there was hope for strength and resurgence.
“Let the altar self-destruct,” Sovereign Puai ordered. “Come with me as we leave.”
“Yes, Master.”
…
Within the vast and ancient divine realm, Sovereign Puai, Latimer, and Menbu suddenly appeared.
“Sovereign.”
“Where is the Elder?”
“Why hasn’t the Elder returned?” Several kings immediately inquired.
There was a hint of sorrow in the eyes of Latimer, Menbu, and Sovereign Puai. Sovereign Puai raised his hand and pointed toward the spatial passage, saying, “Collapse!” The entire spatial passage instantly began to collapse.
“The Elder… sacrificed himself for the clan!” Sovereign Puai said softly.
The other kings were stunned.
“But the Elder’s sacrifice has brought us the clan’s inheritance!” Sovereign Puai suddenly roared fiercely, “Before the great calamity, we have brought back countless secret techniques of our clan, countless cultivation techniques suited for our race. With this inheritance, our clan will surely grow strong and rise again!”
“Rise!” “Rise!” “Rise!”
Though sorrow for the Elder’s demise weighed heavily on the hearts of the Enfeoffed Kings, a fervent conviction also surged within them. Now they were brimming with hope for the days to come.
The clan… will rise again!
