Universe Rule System! Original System!

"This is the 'Flame Altar'?" Lin Yan sensed the message transmitted from his consciousness space and looked at the endless flames outside, thinking to himself, "As expected of the Core Land of the Qingfeng Realm, it is truly fraught with danger."

The Qingfeng Realm is one of the Three great forbidden zones.

Even the Universe's Strongest dare not venture into the Core Land, only daring to wander in familiar areas... This Flame Altar, although not as lifeless as the "Three Extremes Abyss" or the "Ice Wind Demon Cave," is still extremely dangerous.

Especially as you get closer to the core, this endless sea of fire hides countless dangers. If it weren't for the system's guidance, even if Lin Yan had the Ultimate Supreme Treasure Palace to protect him, he would easily be trapped inside and have difficulty escaping.

Whoosh!

The Primordial Emperor City transformed into a golden ray of light and flew directly into the depths of the endless flames.

In a sea of blazing fire.

The Primordial Emperor City continued to advance, guided by a systematic approach, much like having the most detailed map, easily avoiding various dangers.

Upon reaching the depths of this sea of fire, one can see endless whirlwinds and vortexes, each whirlwind swirling with flames and lightning. While other dangers might not be fatal to the Universe's Strongest, these [Three Extremes Gale] are something even the Universe's Strongest cannot withstand!

The so-called "Three Extremes" represent the three extreme destructive forces of fire, wind, and thunder... Every so often, it will gush forth from the "Three Extremes Abyss," which is considered the most dangerous place in the Qingfeng Realm. It possesses terrifying power that is unpredictable and dangerous. As long as it is affected, Peak Palace Supreme Treasure will be directly destroyed!

Call!

The Primordial Emperor City rushed into the whirlwind vortex. Each whirlwind was like the blade light of a super strong person, possessing unpredictable tearing power, and directly struck the Primordial Emperor City.

He was the lord of the Primordial Emperor City, and divine power was poured into every Palace Supreme Treasure, making the Primordial Emperor City feel as if it were being struck by billions of heavy hammers at any moment.

"That's too strong."

"The records about the [Three Extremes Gale] are indeed correct. Only those with the most powerful Palace Supreme Treasure can pass through safely. In fact, if I hadn't comprehended the Fourth Layer level of the secret runes and had more precise control over the Primordial Emperor City, it would have been very difficult to resist such an impact and advance," Lin Yan sighed inwardly.

In this light, it was indeed a very lucky thing that he obtained this Ultimate Supreme Treasure Palace by killing the Master Yuan Ao and sending the strange object out of the Primordial Universe.

"Bang bang bang—"

Under his control, although the Primordial Emperor City was affected by the whirlwind and changed direction, it actually used the power of the whirlwind to accelerate its progress.

Two days later.

"Boom!"

The faintly golden light flew out of the whirlwind vortex, its speed immediately decreased, and then it began to slowly descend from the sky, hovering in the void.

"We've finally arrived." Lin Yan looked outside and couldn't help but smile. "The Flame Altar."

The fiery cavern where powerful figures like Jie Fanzi left their tokens can only be considered the outer perimeter of this area, while what we are in front of is the true core.

What he saw was an extremely vast and boundless space, shrouded in black mist. Lin Yan's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the ancient altar in the center of this space.

The top of this ancient altar was shrouded in black mist, making it appear blurry. It was made entirely of wood, with a dark black hue, and looked extremely primitive. There were no carvings on it, and it was more like the natural texture of the wood. Yet, just looking at it, one could feel a powerful sense of oppression.

An endless black staircase, faintly glowing with golden light, leads straight to the highest point.

"A marvelous artifact." Lin Yan raised an eyebrow. "It appears that this ancient altar is made of Strange Wood similar to the Black Divine Wood of the Master Yuan Ao, though it should be of a higher grade."

After a moment's thought, a series of information immediately came to mind.

This "Flame Altar" has naturally been explored by powerful figures throughout Endless Samsara, leaving behind some fragmentary records, and is recognized as a place to temper one's will, similar to the "Black Patterned Stone Pillar".

Three great forbidden zones have many places to temper one's will, but this Flame Altar is located in the Core Land and does not have the Secret Pattern Diagram of the Black Patterned Stone Pillar or the Time Flow Rate, so it does not seem to have anything special about it.

"But who could possibly know the real secret here?" Lin Yan shook his head, no longer wanting to think about it.

Whoosh!

With one step, he left the Primordial Emperor City and flew directly to the foot of the ancient altar, looking up at the black staircase leading to the endless void.

Wow!

The moment Lin Yan's combat boots landed on the first step, the surrounding scenery became incredibly blurry. He felt as if he had fallen into a terrifying darkness, and could only see this endless staircase.

At the same time, all the golden light on the steps converged together, rippling in the darkness, and a huge Golden Divine Spirit phantom faintly appeared.

The Golden Divine Spirit phantom looked down, radiating a hazy golden light that enveloped Lin Yan.

Boom!!

The hazy golden light suddenly unleashed a powerful Will Impact. This Will Impact Formless and Faceless, making it impossible to dodge, and it directly struck Lin Yan.

"Even Universe Venerable could withstand such Will Impact." Lin Yan frowned slightly. "However... in the Black Patterned Stone Pillar Space, I could effectively enhance my resistance with the 'Mind Embraces All' state of mind, but here, it seems to have no effect at all."

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Lin Yan leaped forward, advancing continuously down the black staircase.

"Buzz—"

As they ascended higher, the Will Impact emanating from the hazy golden light grew stronger, surpassing the limits of Universe Venerable and continuing to increase.

The level of the Lord of the Universe... the top level of the Lord of the Universe... the Universe Master's Limit... even so, Lin Yan was still able to withstand it easily.

Much later.

Lin Yan looked up again at the Golden Divine Spirit phantom in the void, his eyes already bloodshot, but the Will Impact within the hazy golden light continued to intensify.

"How much further?" Lin Yan gritted his teeth. "The willpower here is already putting a lot of pressure on me. If this continues, I'm afraid my willpower will collapse!"

Oppression!

The pressure of this will grows ever stronger!

It was as if a towering mountain was pressing down on his will, and the pressure was constantly increasing. Lin Yan's thinking speed was decreasing sharply, and he was only able to move forward with his last stubborn determination.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Every step was incredibly difficult.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Lin Yan felt the pressure of the Will Impact reaching its limit, the Golden Divine Spirit phantom in the sky vanished into nothingness, and the darkness that had enveloped him dissipated completely. He gasped for breath, calming himself down, and looked around.

On this altar.

The dazzling golden divine fire reflected in Lin Yan's eyes, and the void within hundreds of thousands of kilometers around the divine fire was distorted.

"You choose to live, or you choose to die!"

A mysterious fluctuation from the golden divine fire surged into Lin Yan's mind.

At the same time--

"Go quickly, go quickly, child."

"You will receive the supreme secret technique and eternal life!"

"Don't go."

"Never go there, it's death, it's death."

Countless clamorous voices faintly echoed in the void, some ancient, some young, some powerful, and some mournful...

As if a demonic chant were piercing his ears, the cacophony of sounds echoed in Lin Yan's mind.

Lin Yan seemed oblivious, took a deep breath, and then flew directly towards the divine fire.

Once it flew into that distorted void, the scorching aura could easily Annihilation the divine body of the Lord of the Universe. The closer it got, the weaker its divine power became, even with the Ancient Phoenix Robe and the Ni Yi Chao weakening it.

But he ignored it and didn't even use the Green Line Devouring Worm clone to recover, and continued forward.

"I'll die, I'll die!"

"Don't listen to him, go now, go now!"

The cacophony grew more urgent, as if amplifying all of Lin Yan's senses—anger, fear, sorrow...

"Die!"

The majestic sound shook the void, like a divine judgment.

The golden divine fire burst forth with a spark, directly engulfing Lin Yan. His divine body instantly dissipated into nothingness, and an invisible energy flowed along his Soul Invasion his other clones.

This moment!

He truly experienced the fear between life and death, and ultimately perished completely!

"Buzz..."

Lin Yan opened his eyes and saw that he was still in the Primordial Emperor City, suspended in the void.

"Who could have imagined that everything that just happened was an illusion?" He looked at the altar burning with Golden Flame in the distance, a sense of shock welling up in his heart.

In the Cosmic Sea, it is said that the highest level of illusionist is to make people believe that the illusion is real, and to live in the illusion for a lifetime.

For example, the Universe's Strongest Original Universe Era, the "Void True Demon God," earned this title because the illusionary techniques he used were exactly the same as the real ones.

Once trapped in his illusion, one's will will completely confuse reality with virtuality. One can still sense the Universe Origin Law and the Law Comprehension that one cultivates are completely real. However, once one breaks free from the illusion, one will find that there is no change in oneself, only slight changes in will and memory.

Certainly.

The laws one cultivates must be ones that one knows; if the Void True Demon God himself does not know them, he cannot cultivate them.

However, for Lin Yan, whose will, state of mind, and Soul Supreme Treasure were all extremely strong, the Void True Demon God posed no threat to him whatsoever. But after entering this space, he was instantly trapped in an illusion, and even the Ni Yi Chao could not resist it.

This kind of illusion is incredibly mysterious and possesses unpredictable power.

For example, everything that just happened to Lin Yan was presented to him in its most authentic form, including the fear between life and death at the end... As long as he believes it is real, it is real; as long as he believes it is false, it is false.

"This is the real test of willpower," Lin Yan shook his head.

He emerged from the Primordial Emperor City and gazed at the distant altar. This altar was octagonal, with flames faintly surrounding it, vast and imposing, completely different from the ancient altar he had encountered before. Below it, a gate, over three hundred kilometers wide, was opening, its depths unfathomable.

Whoosh!

Lin Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and transformed into a stream of light, quietly flying into it.

After flying in, he felt that the surrounding space was layered upon layered, somewhat like being in Space Interlayer with a large number of Space Fragments, but this feeling was even more wonderful, as if each space was A World.

In an instant.

Lin Yan felt a distortion in space and time, and the scene before him changed. He found himself standing on the summit of an endlessly high mountain, looking down at the endless, enormous waterfall cascading down, and the clouds flowing around the mountain like rivers.

"This is... the Qingfeng Realm?" Lin Yan's pupils shrank.

This majestic mountain is exactly the same as the Qingfeng Realm in the Cosmic Sea, except that the peak has not been cut off and fallen to the mountainside, and everything looks very calm.

"No, this is Panwang Mountain."

A cold voice rang out.

"Huh?" Lin Yan was taken aback and immediately turned his head to look.

However, he did not see any figure. He looked around and his gaze was fixed on the carving on the edge of the cliff. It looked like a Green Divine Bird, surrounded by golden divine fire. It looked noble and aloof and was looking coldly at Lin Yan.

"Boom!"

The moment Lin Yan met the gaze of the sculpture, he felt an immense and boundless pressure, a noble aura that seemed to originate from a higher Life Level, making him tremble involuntarily.

The next moment!

The Green Divine Bird on the stone wall seemed to come alive. An invisible energy gathered and gradually formed an azure divine bird in the void, which then soared out of the sea of clouds and let out a clear cry that could be heard Nine Heavens.

"What's this?"

Lin Yan stared in astonishment at this scene.

Wow!

The Green Divine Bird descended once more from the sea of clouds, its azure feathers radiating a divine light, exuding supreme holiness and regal majesty. Golden Mars flickered with each breath. It looked down at Lin Yan and spoke:

" In the Endless Samsara Era, since Panwang Mountain fell into this Cosmic Sea, you are the second person qualified to step into the [Xuanli Divine Altar]."

"If it were during the heyday of my Panwang Mountain, you would have been qualified to inherit the top skills of my Panwang Mountain lineage simply by stepping into the [Xuanli Divine Altar]. But now all the ancestors of the past generations have Return to the Ruins. What I need is not a core disciple, but a true successor to inherit the position of 'Mountain Lord'."

"Young man of the Cosmic Sea, I can give you a chance—"

"If you choose to embark on this path, there will be no turning back. You will face the most severe test, and only by successfully inheriting the position of 'Mountain Lord' can you survive."

"If you feel scared, you may choose to leave. I will erase all your memories of Panwang Mountain and you will no longer have the right to wake me."

Tell me your choice.

It stared at Lin Yan, its eyes seemingly burning with fire. "Don't harbor any illusions, and don't feel any joy. If you fail, you will die; if you succeed, it might not be a good thing for you either."

"Can you tell me what the Panwang Mountain Inheritance is?" Lin Yan asked softly, looking at the Green Divine Bird. "Is it the complete inheritance of Ancient Civilization, capable of providing me with more detailed guidance on the path after becoming the Lord of the Universe?"

From the moment he discovered the Panwang Mountain Inheritance, a great question lingered in his mind. He wasn't sure if the strange Green Divine Bird would give him an answer, but he asked anyway.

Panwang was the strongest among the indigenous people of the Origin Continent, dating back to the earliest time.

But what exactly do the natives of the Origin Continent cultivate?

Since it is said that... the natives do not know how to forge weapons at all, and only use strange objects and unusual metals as weapons, and their Body Refinement is still at such a primitive level, then their strength is simply not enough to fight against the strong people of the Three Thousand Dimensions universe, and they should have withdrawn from the stage of history long ago.

There will be no so-called "Panwang".

As a god-king of the Treasure Refining Path, Jin Zhi God King said that the natives were too stupid, but Lin Yan could not really understand it with the word "stupid". Even if they were stupid, it was impossible that they would not even be able to learn the abilities of the strong in the Three Thousand Dimensions universe and would only fight with these strange objects and other people's Supreme Treasure Weapon.

The only explanation is... their cultivation paths are different!

"The Lord of the Universe?" A cold glint appeared in the eyes of the Green Divine Bird. "The world is vast, and all things coexist. How could there be only one path to the pinnacle?"

"The Universe Rule System is indeed extremely universal and powerful, but the Original System created by my ancestors at Panwang Mountain is in no way inferior, possessing all sorts of unfathomable power!"

"If you truly have the ability to cultivate both the Original System and succeed to the position of 'Mountain Lord,' you will surely achieve great things in the future!" the Green Divine Bird said coldly. "If you feel that you do not have such an ability, you would be better off leaving as soon as possible."

"This is a path that defies the heavens, and it has no need for... mediocre people."

Leonard was amazing today, I really didn't mean to drag it out.
