Souls, as the core of bloodline-based lifeforms, require immense transformation to evolve significantly. At his current stage, Luo Feng simply lacks the ability to achieve such a feat.
“Slowly, step by step!” Luo Feng gritted his teeth and continued accepting the inheritance from the Demon-Sound Divine General.
Each step equaled one level of progress!
On average, it took a full day to advance just one step!
Several months passed in the blink of an eye. At the 1236th tier of the inheritance staircase, Luo Feng, clad entirely in battle armor, knelt on one knee, panting heavily. The piercing pain in his soul and the endless fatigue nearly drove him to collapse.
“Almost completely saturated,” Luo Feng’s eyes brimmed with unwillingness. He felt sharp pains in his soul, as if attacked by another’s soul, and that endless weariness felt like he was desperately tired and wanted to sleep. According to the information gained from the inheritance, this meant Luo Feng’s soul was nearly saturated in accepting the inheritance.
Even if he pushed himself, he could only advance another one or two steps at most.
“Is this really the limit?” Luo Feng raised his head to gaze forward.
The staircase extended layer by layer, stretching into the depths of the void.
“Crack!”
Luo Feng’s body shot forward, his foot landing on the 1237th stone step. Instantly, a portion of the inheritance technique merged into his memory. However, Luo Feng didn’t even pause—he immediately took another step forward, attempting to leap to the 1238th tier.
As Luo Feng landed on the 1238th step,
“Wang~~ Chang~~~”
A strange melody of demonic sound pierced directly into Luo Feng’s consciousness.
“Break through!” His consciousness roared with unshakable willpower!
Yet this gentle, seemingly non-threatening demonic sound quietly infiltrated Luo Feng’s will and awareness. “Get out!!!” Luo Feng condensed his will, attempting to repel all external demonic sound intrusion. However, his powerful will and awareness proved utterly powerless against this demonic sound.
Gradually…
Luo Feng felt like a child again, drifting to sleep while his mother sang beside him.
“Big trouble!”
“No!”
“No!!!” Luo Feng realized his recklessness—he had rushed ahead without accepting the inheritance of a specific tier, triggering the most terrifying ‘demonic sound’ suppression unique to the Demon-Sound Mountain.
Sleep!
Sleep!
“No!”
Sleep…
Luo Feng felt his consciousness sinking deeper and deeper, until it reached the bottomless abyss!
…
Standing on the 1238th tier of the staircase, Luo Feng’s eyes closed, a serene smile on his face. Then, as if controlled by a robot, his entire body turned and flew backward, landing back on the 1237th tier.
“Chang~~ Jian~~”
The tone of the demonic sound shifted.
Luo Feng’s consciousness rose from the bottomless abyss, as if returning from a dark world to reality.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng suddenly opened his eyes.
He had awakened!
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…” Luo Feng gasped heavily, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, his face slightly pale.
“Too dangerous! Too dangerous! Just now, I was utterly powerless against that demonic sound,” Luo Feng, who had always been confident in his will and consciousness, now felt as if he had narrowly escaped death. After all, almost everyone who came to the Demon-Sound Inheritance Temple were Immortal-level beings.
How powerful was their resistance?
The demonic sound could suppress those deities, so how could it not suppress Luo Feng?
“Thankfully, I guessed earlier that this Demon-Sound Temple was specifically set up for inheritance, and should not pose a life-threatening danger to the inheritor,” Luo Feng felt the information of the 1237th tier inheritance merging into his mind, then raised his head to gaze at the distant temple in the void.
So unwilling!
Truly unwilling!
“The main vine of the Cloud-Mo Vine can now reach 3000 kilometers. I wonder if that’s enough,” Luo Feng thought, though he doubted the Demon-Sound Temple would have such a loophole, he still couldn’t resist trying. Instantly, he extended his right hand, and a thin vine emerged from the edge of his sleeve.
“Chi chi chi~~~”
It extended rapidly, the Cloud-Mo Vine lightning-fast in lengthening and thickening, stretching toward the depths of the void.
When the Cloud-Mo Vine reached the Cosmic level, its 72 main vines were already 300 kilometers long each. Now at Domain Lord level, each main vine stretched exactly 3000 kilometers. In terms of volume, if placed in the center of China, its vines could cover the entire territory of the nation!
“No resistance at all!”
“No obstacles whatsoever?” Luo Feng couldn’t believe it, watching the long vine of the Cloud-Mo Vine stretching into the distant void.
“The temple!”
The vine directly shot into the temple!
“Chi!”
“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s expression changed.
The temple visible to the naked eye seemed like air—his long vine passed through the temple without touching anything solid.
“What’s going on?” Luo Feng controlled the Cloud-Mo Vine to sweep around.
“Chi! Chi! Chi!”
Air currents vibrated.
Yet whether sweeping over the temple or the tiers of inheritance connecting it, the Cloud-Mo Vine passed through as if through air.
“This… this… this…” Luo Feng was shocked. Then, from his right hand, a second thin vine extended and touched the stone step beneath his feet.
“Chi!”
The vine passed directly through the step, as if through air.
“How could this be?” Luo Feng frowned.
“Luofeng, I think I understand something. Try using a robot to test it,” Bafenta’s voice echoed in Luo Feng’s consciousness. Luo Feng nodded slightly, retracting the Cloud-Mo Vine that had extended for thousands of kilometers, while simultaneously retrieving a robot from his spatial ring.
This robot was entirely golden, a type of Alchemical Guardian he had casually requested from the Virtual Universe Company. Similar to the Silver-Flow Guard, it was even more durable. These robots were freely provided to Luo Feng by the company.
The Alchemical Guardian hovered mid-air, respectfully addressing Luo Feng: “Master!”
“Step on the tier.” Luo Feng ordered.
“Yes!” The Alchemical Guardian immediately descended, stepping down with one foot.
“Hu!”
It stepped into empty space.
“Beep, beep, beep…” The pair of red crystal eyes on the Alchemical Guardian displayed a stream of characters, rapidly calculating, then turned to Luo Feng respectfully: “Master, this tier is visible but cannot be stepped on. Yet you can walk upon it… my database has no reasonable explanation for this.”
Luo Feng nodded slightly, then waved his hand, recalling the robot into his spatial ring.
“It’s just as I suspected. I think I’m right,” Bafenta’s voice sounded again.
“Explain!” Luo Feng, though he had his own suspicions, still asked.
“Luofeng, such a mysterious inheritance palace—only the inheritor can obtain its treasures!” Bafenta said. “It’s like your teacher leaving behind an inheritance, letting me find a disciple. The bank account he left could only be accessed after confirming it was his disciple.”
“The same principle applies here!”
“A palace capable of constructing such a terrifying inheritance, existing for billions of years, capable of producing Immortal-level phantom beasts. The Virtual Universe Company even stationed so many Super Immortals here. Clearly—”
Bafenta declared with unwavering confidence, “That supreme being… is a true pinnacle of eternal power in the cosmos, far eclipsing even your master.”
Luo Feng nodded.
Yes.
The power of the one who left the inheritance exceeded his imagination. After all, the demonic sound left behind could easily suppress an Immortal. If that being acted personally, how terrifying would it be?
“Therefore, such a great existence built an inheritance palace where all treasures can only be obtained by the ‘inheritor’,” Bafenta continued. “Whether you use an auxiliary plant lifeform or a robot, a spaceship—unless it’s the inheritor himself, you can’t even touch the inheritance tiers or the temple. It’s as if they exist in two different spaces.”
Luo Feng nodded.
Unable to touch them at all—such space manipulation exceeded his imagination.
“You are the inheritor. Only you can touch the tiers and the temple,” Bafenta said. “Each inheritor must possess a soul to accept the ‘Demon-Sound Divine General Inheritance.’ But soul-bearing lifeforms are clearly unable to resist the demonic sound left behind. So you can only proceed step by step.”
“What if someone could resist it?” Luo Feng smiled.
“If someone could resist the demonic sound, then the one arriving at the inheritance palace must also be a great existence. It would be natural for such a being to take some treasures,” Bafenta replied.
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
He looked up at the distant temple in the void, accepting the inheritance while pondering.
“Truly a perfect setup.”
“The inheritance palace allows only one life to undergo the inheritance at a time, and it must be a soul-bearing lifeform,” Luo Feng mused. “Yet soul-bearing lifeforms are inevitably suppressed by the demonic sound. Thus… one truly must follow the path designed by that existence, step by step, until reaching the temple to obtain the treasures.”
“But!”
“There are still some extraordinary lifeforms in the universe,” Luo Feng stared at the temple in the void.
“Swoosh!”
Another Luo Feng in black clothing suddenly appeared beside him, his life aura identical to the Earth-born Luo Feng—his Mosha Clan clone!
“My Mosha Clan clone, with the ‘Innate Secret Art: Replication,’ can mimic my Earth-born self’s aura exactly,” Luo Feng stood still as the Mosha Clan Luo Feng stepped onto the tier.
“Pa!”
Firm footing!
He solidly stepped onto the stone tier.
“Good!” The Mosha Clan Luo Feng revealed a slight smile, then leapt forward to a higher tier.
“Wang~~ Chang~~~”
The terrifying demonic sound pierced into the Mosha Clan Luo Feng’s body once again.
But—
The demonic sound was, in fact, a type of soul-based illusion—a terrifying super illusion. Those affected might lose consciousness and become zombies!
However—
The Mosha Clan clone Luo Feng had not brought the Core. The Core remained in the Earth-born Luo Feng’s body.
A Mosha Clan clone without a Core was exactly like a true Mosha Clan member!
Unaffected by any soul-based attacks!
Any attack related to the soul would be completely ineffective against the Mosha Clan!
“Exactly!” The Mosha Clan Luo Feng smiled as he walked up the tiers, taking another step forward. The demonic sound surged, yet it seemed like celebratory music heralding Luo Feng’s imminent acquisition of the treasures.
Step by step.
Tier by tier.
The great existence who left the Demon-Sound Mountain inheritance probably never imagined that a soul-bearing life and a soulless one could be the same person!
