The Advancing Luo Feng
Time keeps passing.
For the next period of time, most of the powerful figures from various forces in the Universe Ocean were focused on comprehending the Rhino Emperor Game, even those who did not go to the Universe Boat to receive the inheritance.
After all, besides being an assessment task for the Duan Donghe Lineage, the Rhino Emperor Game is itself an extremely powerful creation from Ancient Civilization.
Simply by continuously studying the Rhino Emperor Game, one can subtly improve their comprehension—how astonishing is that?
It can be said that the Rhino Emperor Game is an opportunity for countless powerful individuals throughout the entire Universe Ocean. It's just that because it spread so quickly and there's the allure of the Duan Donghe Inheritance, it doesn't seem so astonishing.
However, the Rhino Emperor Game is far too obscure and difficult. Even for the Universe Supreme Being, continuously solving it is an extremely difficult task.
In the blink of an eye, five hundred years have passed.
Inside the Tomb Mausoleum Boat, at the end of the Life and Death Corridor.
"Ding! Dong!"
A strange voice echoed once again in the minds of each candidate.
All the powerful figures present showed expressions of astonishment, and then looked again at the Illusion Body that had been formed.
"What happened?"
"The last time this Duan Donghe appeared was because of the Time Lord. Could it be that the Time Lord is about to arrive?"
The surrounding candidates were all speculating about the reason for Duan Donghe's appearance.
But at that moment, Duan Donghe looked down and calmly said, "The candidate... the Human Galaxy, has met the requirements for resolving the situation!"
Wow!
The surrounding inheritors were all in an uproar.
So, is it possible that the human Luo Feng will inherit this legacy?
How is that possible?
"Rise!"
Duan Donghe pointed into the distance, and a hazy hemispherical light and shadow appeared around Luo Feng, which was like a huge palace, completely enveloping Luo Feng.
Countless secret runes flowed across the palace of light and shadow, and the power it faintly emitted made everyone present tremble.
"Human Galaxy!" Duan Donghe looked at Luo Feng: "This is a protective secret technique I've cast. You can meditate and comprehend it within. From now on, no one can harm you!"
At the same time, Duan Donghe coldly looked at the rest of the group. "If anyone attacks the human Galaxy again, they will be eliminated and killed!"
Upon hearing this, the powerful figures from various races gathered here were all shocked, and they all gritted their teeth in anger.
However, Duan Donghe had already spoken, they naturally dared not disobey.
Of course, the fact that Duan Donghe allowed the Galaxy Lord to continue comprehending the Rhino Emperor Game means that others still have a chance.
Sure enough, Duan Donghe began to introduce the four levels of candidates to everyone.
"All the candidates here can be divided into four levels."
"This human Galaxy has only reached the first bottleneck, barely meeting my minimum requirements, qualifying me to enter the next stage and come into contact with some of the inheritance of my Duan Donghe Lineage!"
"Reaching the second bottleneck makes one an elite; reaching the third bottleneck makes one Core Inheritance."
"Only by reaching the fourth bottleneck can one directly become the inheritor of my Duan Donghe Lineage, without needing to compete with other candidates!"
"However, it will be very difficult for you to reach the fourth level. Under these circumstances, the more puzzles you solve, the greater your chance of receiving the inheritance later!"
After Duan Donghe finished explaining, all the powerful figures present understood.
"How many puzzles did the Galaxy Lord solve to reach the first bottleneck?"
The Second True Master of the God Eye Race thought to himself, "I've already solved 1005 games, and I haven't reached the first level yet. But my elder brother has already solved 1200 games. If he were here, he might have already reached the first level bottleneck!"
At this moment, Luo Feng quickly calmed his excited emotions.
"As Universe Venerable, the requirements for reaching the first bottleneck should be somewhat lower than for others. However, since I am able to take the lead, I am certain that I will be able to obtain the final inheritance!"
With this in mind, Luo Feng Star Tower immediately began to continue comprehending the Rhino Emperor Game.
He paid no attention to the jealous, resentful, and murderous gazes around him.
The many super beings of the Human Race were also extremely excited upon learning this news.
When the Duan Donghe Inheritance appeared this time, Yang Wu was not present, and they all thought that the hope of obtaining the inheritance was extremely slim.
Unexpectedly, Luo Feng suddenly emerged as a dark horse, becoming the first candidate to reach the first bottleneck.
However, although everyone was excited, they only sent Luo Feng a congratulatory email each.
After all, Luo Feng is currently focusing all his efforts on comprehending the Rhino Emperor Game, striving to seize the Duan Donghe Inheritance. Naturally, they wouldn't waste Luo Feng's time.
Time keeps passing by.
In the vast Universe Ocean, the gazes of the vast majority of powerful beings were focused on the Tomb Mausoleum Boat of the Flame Ice Domain.
This place has become a silent battlefield, where all forces are striving to obtain the ultimate Duan Donghe Inheritance.
Shortly after Luo Feng reached the first level, the Venerable Bixue of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land also reached the first bottleneck.
The appearance of a Universe Venerable also shocked many candidates.
However, the constant stream of candidates that followed made it clear to many forces the requirements for different realms.
Among them, Immortal God need to solve 500 puzzles to reach the first level;
To reach the first level, Universe Venerable needs to solve one thousand problems;
To reach the first level, the Universe Master needs to solve 1,500 puzzles;
As for the Universe Supreme Being, reaching the first level requires solving two thousand cases.
Such requirements are undeniably high, and these candidates are considered elites from various factions, yet only a few can reach the first level.
Of course, with a clear goal in mind, these people did speed up their understanding of the Rhino Emperor Game somewhat.
Three thousand years later.
Virtual Universe, an independent dimensional space.
"This two thousandth round is really tough!"
Luo Feng stood before a three-dimensional, illusory image of an unfinished chess game, studying it carefully.
Logically speaking, the difficulty of each Rhino Emperor Game should increase exponentially. Luo Feng spent five hundred years solving the first thousand games, so reaching the level of two thousand games should take more than ten times longer.
Luo Feng compared and verified the various Secret Pattern Diagram with the Rhino Emperor Game, and his speed of comprehending the Rhino Emperor Game became increasingly terrifying.
Just as Luo Feng was comprehending the second thousandth Rhino Emperor Game, a white-robed figure was watching him from the side, but Luo Feng was completely unaware of it.
And the only one capable of doing this in the Virtual Universe is the Original Ancestor creator of the Virtual Universe!
"The Rhino Emperor Game!"
The Original Ancestor sighed inwardly, "Just what kind of magnificent being is that Rhino Emperor, that he could create such an incredible creation?"
"Compared to that, the Virtual Universe I created is rather crude!"
"However, Luo Feng is not far from solving the two thousandth problem now!"
Looking at Luo Feng, the Original Ancestor couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Such talent is truly astonishing. Back when I was at the Universe Venerable stage, I was afraid I couldn't compare to Luo Feng now!"
"Our Human Race is truly fortunate to have produced two peerless powerhouses like Yang Wu and Luo Feng in succession!"
"But what exactly is the plan of that Mountain Sitting Guest who first created the Yan God Race Lineage and then the Earth Lineage?"
Now, the Virtual Universe is spread throughout the Primal Universe. With the Original Ancestor's methods and level of understanding, there is very little in the universe that he does not know.
However, the Original Ancestor could never figure out the incredibly mysterious Mountain Sitting Guest.
"However, it's a pity that Yang Wu is still asleep!" Original Ancestor couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "I wonder what kind of predicament he encountered that has caused him to have been asleep for five thousand years!"
"If I hadn't been suppressed by the Original Universe Origin Will, I could have found a way to help him!"
The Original Ancestor sighed softly to himself, "Unfortunately, now they can only rely on themselves!"
The Inner Domain of Universe Boat, the Flame Ice Domain.
Within the Tomb Mausoleum Boat, the Life and Death Corridor was utterly silent. Palace-type Supreme Treasure were scattered throughout, and numerous candidates were quietly comprehending the Rhino Emperor Game.
Among them are also 'golden palaces of light and shadow', representing each candidate who has reached the first level of bottleneck, but their numbers are extremely small.
Shortly after the first Universe Supreme Being reached the first bottleneck, Duan Donghe reappeared.
All the powerful figures looked up, wondering which candidate would reach the first level of bottleneck this time.
But at this moment, Duan Donghe revealed a smile on his face.
"I... I'm so happy!"
Duan Donghe's voice rang in the ears of every inheritor. "The Human Galaxy has broken through the second bottleneck and become Elite Candidate!"
"Rise!"
Duan Donghe pointed, and the golden light shield surrounding Luo Feng instantly changed, eventually becoming a light shield with alternating gold and red hues.
Upon witnessing this scene, the surrounding candidates erupted in another uproar.
They had thought that with the emergence of numerous first-tier inheritors over the past few thousand years, the advantage of the Galaxy Lord would vanish.
After all, with so many geniuses and powerful individuals, it's one thing if they can't compare to the Time Lord, but surely they can't compare to the Galaxy Lord before them?
Unexpectedly, Luo Feng had once again taken the lead over the group.
Of course, the opinions of the crowd could not Duan Donghe's decision, so they could only work harder to comprehend the Rhino Emperor Game and try to catch up with Luo Feng's pace.
What they didn't know was that the gap between them and Luo Feng would only widen.
More than ten thousand years later, when Luo Feng was enveloped in a golden, red, and cyan light shield and became a third-level inheritor, these candidates finally realized the extent of their despair.
After all, aside from Luo Feng, there are only a few other second-level inheritors.
"The Human Race the Primal Universe is truly terrifying. I never imagined that even the most amazing Time Lord didn't come to receive the inheritance, yet this Galaxy Lord has already surpassed all of us!"
"No, no..." A colossal beast from the First Reincarnation Era howled in agony, "Is this truly going to wipe out my entire lineage of Yan Beast? Even this last hope is being taken away? I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!"
"Damn it! The hope of Transcendence of Reincarnation belongs to my God Eye Race! It belongs to my God Eye Race!"
Despair!
All the powerful individuals present felt an immense sense of despair.
Even in this despair, some powerful individuals attempted to attack Luo Feng, but they were all instantly annihilated before the three-colored light shield.
At this moment, Duan Donghe was also very unsettled.
"Galaxy!" Duan Donghe looked at Luo Feng and exclaimed in admiration, "Ten thousand years of comprehension, even with the acceleration of Miniature Universe, is only ten thousand epochs, yet you have actually reached the third level!"
"I never expected to meet such an outstanding junior like you after I had reached the end of my road!"
"The talent and comprehension you have shown are no less than mine. With you here, I can say that I have done right by my ancestors!"
Fortunately, Duan Donghe did not directly bestow the inheritance upon Luo Feng, and the candidates from other factions still felt that they had a chance to obtain the inheritance.
But as the three eras stipulated by Duan Donghe drew ever closer, these powerful figures were once again filled with despair.
Everyone felt that the Duan Donghe Inheritance was a cruel joke played on them by fate.
After all their hard work, the ones who ultimately benefited the most were still the Primal Universe Human Race from the cosmos!
Time continued to pass, and soon the third era came to an end.
"Ding! Dong!"
The familiar voice echoed once again in the minds of every powerful individual.
All the powerful figures looked up, while Duan Donghe, who appeared in mid-air, looked down and said directly, "The Three Eras have ended, and the Rhino Emperor Game's selection process is complete."
"307 people have broken through the first bottleneck."
Five people have broken through the second bottleneck.
"Two people have broken through the third bottleneck."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless inheritors around him secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Haha, it's finally over! Thank goodness that the Galaxy Lord didn't break through the fourth level bottleneck!"
"It's finally over! Fortunately, the Time Lord didn't show up, otherwise, with his comprehension being even more terrifying than the Galaxy Lord's, he probably would have reached the fourth level of the bottleneck!"
"Yes, thankfully it's over! However, this Duan Donghe Inheritance has lasted for three eras, and there's still no news of the Time Lord. Could it be that he has already perished?"
"Very likely! Wasn't the Original Ancestor of the Human Race suppressed by the Original Universe Origin Will?"
In an instant, various thoughts flashed through the minds of countless candidates around them.
Under normal circumstances, if a powerful person disappears for a period of time, it won't attract much attention.
Just like the Star Lord Beizhen in the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe, who hasn't appeared in the Universe Ocean for over ten epochs, how many people would even care?
But Yang Wu is different!
Since Yang Wu ventured into the Universe Ocean, he has been the focus of attention from various forces within the Universe Ocean.
This attention reached its peak after Yang Wu killed King Zhenjia!
At this time, Yang Wu had been missing for three eras, and just then, the precious inheritance of Duan Donghe appeared, which naturally aroused the imaginations of powerful figures from all sides.
However, Duan Donghe, who was in mid-air, completely ignored what everyone was thinking.
Boom!
With Duan Donghe the gate at the end of the Life and Death Corridor to suddenly open.
Duan Donghe coldly said, "Those who pass the selection can continue forward and receive their inheritance in the next hall."
"As for those who haven't even reached the first bottleneck, according to the rules, they should all die!"
As soon Duan Donghe speaking, countless crystal pillars in the Life and Death Corridor burst forth with golden light, annihilating nearly 100,000 candidates. In the end, only about 300 candidates who had broken through the first level of tranquility remained.
The remaining hundreds of candidates, while shocked by Duan Donghe's methods, were also eagerly anticipating the inheritance to come.
After all, according to Duan Donghe, after passing the test of the Rhino Emperor Game, one can receive a portion of the inheritance.
"Walk!"
After killing many powerful figures, Duan Donghe transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and flew towards the distant hall, with Luo Feng and the others quickly following behind.
