Divine General Inheritance
Be careful!
"And do not be careless in the slightest."
"Spending a little more time is nothing; let's move forward slowly to find the legacy, and not mess around."
Upon arriving in the Abyss, Ice Bear Lu Yan'an dared not do anything out of line. Just like an ordinary magical beast, he leisurely strolled around this Abyss world. Although he was nominally just strolling, he actually traveled quite a distance every day. Furthermore, Ice Bear Lu Yan'an also recorded the route he took along the way, paving the way for his true form to arrive here later.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Yan'an had lived in this Abyss World for half a year. At this time, he was more than ten million kilometers away from where he first arrived in the Abyss World!
Finally, he saw the faint golden light emanating from the distance!
"Go!" Lu Yan'an was incredibly excited, but he still slowly made his way towards the golden light. After traveling thousands of miles, Lu Yan'an, amidst the horde of Phantom Beast, looked up at the floating palaces in the distance, and a look of wild joy flashed in his eyes!
At a glance, one can see 32 floating palaces, each with a diameter of tens of kilometers, and each radiating golden light. Among them, about 27 palaces are shrouded in a white light layer, like a dome, completely enveloping them.
"Hold head high!"
"Elf!"
A faint, mysterious sound emanated from the direction of the group of floating palaces, carried by Ice Bear Lu Yan'an. However, his magical beast avatar, being an energy life form, was unable to perceive the mysterious aspects within it.
"Roar..."
"Aww!"
The Phantom Beast that could be seen everywhere looked up at the floating palaces in mid-air, seemingly attracted by them. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! One after another, the Phantom Beast would leap into the sky and jump into the palaces.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Some of the Phantom Beast collided with the white light barrier, falling directly to the rocky ice layer, causing it to crack. Then, those Phantom Beasts that had fallen got up one by one, and some of Phantom Beast even leaped up again to pounce on the white light barrier of the palace.
Impact! Falling down! Getting up and leaping again! Impact again! Falling down again...
Some silly Phantom Beast, with a single-minded focus, would repeatedly lunge and crash into things before finally giving up.
"That's right, this is it! The place where the Demon Sound God General inherited his legacy!" Seeing this scene, just like the one described in the book, Lu Yan'an couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. After all, who wouldn't be tempted by the fundamental inheritance of an Overlord -level being?
Ice Bear Lu Yan'an found a boulder as cover, hid beneath it, and then his entire body transformed into energy, dissipating into the world...
Six months later, another Ice Bear arrived at the same spot.
It was Lu Yan'an; this time, he brought his true form here.
He looked up at the 32 palaces, and unsurprisingly, 27 of them still had defensive pillars of light. Then his gaze shifted to the other 5 palaces that did not have pillars of light.
"Give it a try!"
Lu Yan'an, swaying his fat and muscular Ice Bear body, leaped up alongside the other Phantom Beast and easily pounced into the palace closest to him among the five palaces.
The entire palace has a very simple structure.
In the center stood a magnificent hall, surrounded by a rocky plaza. On this plaza, some Phantom Beast were leisurely strolling around, some even lying on the ground.
"Um?"
Ice Bear Lu Yan'an landed on the plaza and quietly observed the general structure of the floating palace. The floating palace was divided into a "main hall" and a "plaza." Both the main hall and the plaza were made entirely of black rock, without a single piece of ice. There wasn't even a trace of cold air about them!
There are also many strange and wonderful Secret Pattern on the surface of the black rock, and these Secret Pattern are all golden!
Countless golden Secret Pattern were imprinted on the plaza floor and the palace walls.
A dazzling golden light radiated from these Secret Pattern.
Just then--
Suddenly, the golden Secret Pattern on the walls of the main hall and the ground of the plaza of the entire palace emitted a dreamlike light. Countless rays of light swept around Lu Yan'an, quickly condensing around the palace to form Secret Pattern Diagram, which then completely solidified into a layer of white light.
The white light completely enveloped the entire palace.
"It seems that the Secret Pattern within this palace can determine whether any of the beings entering the palace possess a soul capable of receiving inheritance!" Lu Yan'an said thoughtfully, gazing at the quietly appearing defensive white light shield.

Lu Yan'an looked at the main hall in the center of the palace. The entire rock plaza was about tens of kilometers long and wide, while the main hall only occupied about a quarter of the plaza's area.
At the main entrance of the hall, a monster resembling an ape, made entirely of black rock, wielded a long, equally black staff with mysterious golden Secret Pattern on it.
"Is this the intelligent rock life Guardian from the original story?" Lu Yan'an observed the rock ape monster holding a stick, its eyes constantly scanning the group of Phantom Beast outside, with occasional flashes of human-like contemplation in its gaze, and immediately made his judgment.
Thinking of this, Lu Yan'an decided to give it a try. The next moment, a human Lu Yan'an suddenly appeared next to the ice bear Lu Yan'an; it was Lu Yan'an's true human form.
"According to City Lord Luo's method of entry, the Demon Beast Clone will stay outside with its Original Core, while the Human Main Body will go in and try to break through! The risks will be shared." Lu Yan'an flashed and rushed towards the main entrance of the hall.
Roar..."
When the other Phantom Beast in the square saw the humans appear, they immediately roared and howled.
In an instant, the Phantom Beast transformed into streaks of light, ferociously lunging at Lu Yan'an, wanting to tear him to shreds! But no matter how fast they were, they couldn't catch up with the prepared Lu Yan'an! By the time the attacks from the numerous Phantom Beast reached Lu Yan'an, he had already rushed into the main gate of the hall. Unexpectedly, the rock-like creature not only didn't stop Lu Yan'an from entering, but instead helped him block the horde of berserk Phantom Beast!
At the main entrance of the hall, a tall and burly rock gorilla monster wielded a thick, long black staff, much like a baseball player. He swung the staff like a whirlwind, and with a series of powerful ice-formed Phantom Beast, they were blasted apart, sending large amounts of ice fragments flying far away, directly out of the white light barrier.
"It seems this rock-life guardian truly knows who the inheritor who entered here is," Lu Yan'an said with some emotion. He watched as the phantom beasts went berserk, attacking the guardian one by one, only to be cleared away one by one, and a sense of satisfaction welled up within him. In just a moment! Only some broken ice blocks and the only surviving phantom beast—the Ice Bear Lu Yan'an—remained on the plaza!
He stopped paying attention to what was happening outside the hall, turned around, and walked into the hall.
The main hall was extremely tall, as majestic as a mountain, making Lu Yan'an appear incredibly small inside.
"Is this the Inheritance Palace? According to the description in the original work, the Inheritance Staircase should be here soon!" He thought to himself as he continued to venture deeper into the Inheritance Palace.
As expected.
A deafening rumble echoed through the earth.
Inside the main hall, sounds echoed from the area shrouded in black mist, followed by a series of strange and beautiful sounds, "Ah... Ooh..." The various tones combined to form a very strange and mysterious sound, making Lu Yan'an's soul feel extremely comfortable.
The sound echoed!
The main hall has undergone a tremendous transformation!
Strange characters suddenly appeared on a broken black rock standing in front of Lu Yan'an. The strokes of the characters seemed to be composed of Secret Pattern. He didn't recognize these characters at all. Although he didn't recognize them at all, he clearly knew what they represented!
"The Demon Sound Divine General Inheritance! The first one? About right!" Lu Yan'an remembered that in the original work, it was probably the first inheritor, which was about 8 billion years ago in the story. And this inheritance is activated once every 10,000 epochs, which is about 100 million years. So it's pretty much correct.
Inside the main hall.
A thick black mist rumbled and echoed within the hall. At the same time, within the hall, which was undergoing tremendous changes, a Black Death Rock staircase about three miles wide appeared at the end of the black mist. Each step was covered with strange golden Secret Pattern and faintly glowed with golden light.
"Then let's begin! The Demon Sound Divine General Inheritance!" Lu Yan'an gazed at the golden Secret Pattern on each step, a surge of pride welling up within him. "Today, I will challenge my limits!"
After saying that, he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Whoosh!
Then, he took a step forward and darted directly onto the steps filled with golden Secret Pattern.
