Zhang Junbao ignored them and, along with Luo Feng, transformed into two high-speed streaks of Flowing Light, flying deep into the Tomb Ship.
When they arrived at the core area, they found a huge and exquisite gate in front of them. The entire gate was mottled with gold and blue, and it gave people a mysterious feeling. The creatures present felt that it was high above them and felt a little uneasy, so they dared not enter.
"Similar to the soul-shaking runes, yet different; the Ancient Civilization Inheritance are indeed never simple."
Zhang Junbao looked around, then stepped forward and pushed open the door.
rumble!
As the gate opened, a magnificent and vast, exquisitely beautiful hall came into view. The hall was decorated with many ornaments, which were completely different from the mainstream aesthetics of the current Universe Ocean and had a unique exotic beauty.
"Control room!"
Upon seeing this, the Alien Race Universe Master behind Zhang Junbao rushed inside like madmen.
Even Luo Feng did not hesitate to shoot out a large number of divine power threads from his body, which quickly covered all sides of the hall.
But their expressions quickly changed drastically.
"How could there not be!"
"We can't find the Control Core at all. This should be the control room. There's no way there wouldn't be Control Core!" The Lord Lu Chong revealed a hint of anger. They risked offending Zhang Junbao to enter this place, only to find it was all for nothing.
The value of a Tomb Ship far exceeds that of ordinary Peak Supreme Treasure, approaching that of Strongest Supreme Treasure. Its indestructible nature alone makes it second only to supreme Supreme Treasure Palace. This is why they were willing to offend Zhang Junbao and send powerful individuals to enter this place.
But now, Zhang Junbao has been offended, and the Control Core cannot be found, so it's all for naught.
"Could it be him? Could it be that the Daoist Sanfeng had already found the Control Core and hidden it when he first came in? If so, wouldn't we be in great danger here?"
Not only the Lord Lu Chong, but also the other Universe Master who followed in roared in resentment.
"No, there's no Control Core!" The Lord Ying Ai's expression turned furious. "How could this be?"
" Lord Lu Chong, you were the first to break in, have you already obtained it?" The Lord Lihai of Skeleton Race pointed at the Lord Lu Chong angrily, his eyes burning with a mad flame.
" The Skeleton Race is foolish. I wasn't the first one to enter." The Lord Lu Chong looked at Zhang Junbao, who was constantly looking around. The meaning was clear: Zhang Junbao was the first person to step into this palace.
However, they did not sense the divine power threads emanating from Zhang Junbao, meaning that he never attempted to recognize and Control Core from beginning to end.
This situation suggests that either Zhang Junbao knows there is no Control Core here, or he has already obtained the Control Core and naturally will not search for it anymore.
" Daoist Sanfeng!" the Lord Lihai the Skeleton Race roared at Zhang Junbao.
Luo Feng stood in front of Zhang Junbao, his sharp gaze fixed on the Lord Lihai. If Zhang Junbao made any move to attack, Luo Feng would retaliate without hesitation.
"If it weren't for Junbao's generosity in letting you in, you'd still be eating mud in the Black Swamp outside the Tomb Ship. Skeleton Race, is your brain filled with nothing but your stupid bones?"
"Hahaha, that's right, the Skeleton Race is incredibly stupid!"
Upon hearing Luo Feng's reprimand, the Lord Ying Ai sneered instead. The Divine Eye Clan and the Skeleton Race have always been enemies.
"Can't you guys be a little quieter? Trespassing into someone else's palace and plundering without restraint shows a lack of respect for the owner," Zhang Junbao said calmly.
"You mean, there are still powerful beings from Ancient Civilization here?"
Zhang Junbao's words immediately put the five Alien Race Universe Master on alert. The powerful beings from Ancient Civilization who have survived to this day are definitely no less powerful than the top Universe Supreme Master in the Universe Ocean.
Just as Zhang Junbao was speaking, a figure gradually appeared on the ancient throne in the main hall of the control room.
The five Lord Lu Chong stared in shock at the figure.
"Very human-like."
"They are very similar to the Human Race of the Purple Moon Holy Land."
"I can't feel any pressure emanating from him..."
The blue-haired man, seated on the throne, looked down with a cold gaze and slowly said, "My name Duan Donghe Wu!"
"You descendant of the Endless Reincarnation, how did you discover my existence?"
The group of Lord Lu Chong noticed that the newly appeared phantom, a blue-haired man who called himself Duan Donghe Wu, completely ignored them, his gaze fixed on Zhang Junbao.
"If I told you it was the Universe Origin Will that told me this, would you believe me?" Zhang Junbao said with a kind smile.
Unable to explain how he knew about Duan Donghe, he simply attributed everything to the Universe Origin Will. After all, Duan Donghe was unlikely to confront the Origin Will. Using the name of the Origin Will to suppress the Ancient Civilization of Duan Donghe was quite effective.
It was precisely because Duan Donghe understood better than they did the terrifying nature of the Origin Will that Duan Donghe was able to comprehend it.
" The Origin Will of the Original Universe?" Upon hearing Zhang Junbao's answer, a hint of surprise appeared on Duan Donghe's sharp face.
"I have perished through countless Reincarnation Era. When I embarked on this final adventure with the general, I knew the chances of survival were slim. This path is incredibly difficult; even the most powerful warships and the bravest warriors have failed."
"I didn't want my legacy to end. After countless Reincarnation Era, I never expected that the Universe Origin Will would still remember my existence."
"I, Duan Donghe Wu, am the 192nd Duan Donghe and the only successor. All my ancestors died in battle, and I don't know how long the lineage has been passed down to me. I have already died in battle, and if the lineage were to be broken in my hands, I would be ashamed before my ancestors."
I've modified this Tomb Ship, adding more dangerous and Inheritance Land. I may die, but the legacy of the Duan Donghe must not be severed.
"If you are afraid, you may leave now. Otherwise, once you embark on this path, it will become increasingly dangerous. When you come into contact with the true inheritance, only the one who receives it will survive; all others will perish!"
"The sooner we leave, the safer we will be, especially after coming into contact with a trace of the inheritance. Except for those Duan Donghe, any other being that covets the inheritance of my lineage will surely die!"
"Make your choice, younger generations."
Duan Donghe's words faded, the eyes of the five Alien Race Universe Master present were filled with madness.
Inheritance, the true inheritance of ancient civilization!
The fact that they were able to build such terrifying armor as the Universe Boat is enough to prove the power of this civilization.
The reason why the Divine Eye Clan is so powerful is because they once obtained a complete inheritance of an ancient civilization. And Zhang Junbao's ability to wield the Power of Destruction of the World Beast has led most forces in the Universe Ocean to suspect that he has mastered some ancient civilization inheritance.
If they were to inherit Duan Donghe's legacy, would they have a chance to crush Zhang Junbao and become the next invincible powerhouse to dominate the Universe Ocean?
Zhang Junbao glanced at the five Alien Race Universe Master were dreaming of an infinite future, then ignored them.
Even a civilization like the Universe Boat couldn't withstand the attack of the World Beast. Their idea of escaping this calamity by relying on the legacy of the Duan Donghe was nothing but wishful thinking.
" Junbao, what should we do? In this ancient civilization inheritance in the Duan Donghe, only one person can receive the inheritance; everyone else will perish," Luo Feng asked with some worry.
To be honest, Luo Feng was also somewhat tempted when he saw the Duan Donghe appear. This was an incomparably powerful Ancient Civilization Inheritance, with immense strength. Anyone who saw such a legacy would be tempted.
However, if he were to accept the inheritance along with Zhang Junbao, one of them would inevitably perish in the end, which was something he did not want to see.
At this moment, Zhang Junbao looked at Duan Donghe's illusory figure, stepped forward and transmitted his voice, saying, "Senior Duan Donghe, the Origin Will guided me to this place in order to continue the lineage of Duan Donghe Lineage."
In this Reincarnation Era, the World Beast have descended once more, and will soon sweep across the entire Universe Ocean.
"Will the World Beast... really reappear in this Reincarnation Era?" After hearing Zhang Junbao's telepathic message, Duan Donghe remained silent for a moment before responding.
"In fact, I had already made contact with the World Beast, and I even killed World Beast."
"You killed a World Beast? That's impossible!"
Zhang Junbao's telepathic message immediately made Duan Donghe stand up from his throne, staring at him with wide eyes in disbelief.
"That's a World Beast, wielding Power of Destruction that restrains life in the Original Universe. Let alone you being merely a Universe Master, even the so-called Universe Supreme Master in the current Universe Ocean is only at the True God Level, no match for World Beast."
It's no wonder Duan Donghe was excited; Zhang Junbao's words completely shattered his understanding.
When did the World Beast become so weak?
Their entire fleet had once ventured deep into the Universe Ocean, but ultimately they all perished, even their incredibly powerful Universe Boat was destroyed. Duan Donghe knew all too well just how terrifying the World Beast were.
"But in fact, I did it."
Zhang Junbao smiled slightly and said.
Although he was confident he could pass the test of Duan Donghe's inheritance, obtaining it step by step was too slow for him. There were other ways to obtain Duan Donghe's inheritance, it just depended on whether you could impress him.
Ordinary people follow the rules, but true geniuses always break them.
" The Power of Destruction of the World Beast that you sensed earlier came from me."
"Is that your power?"
At this moment, Duan Donghe was at a loss for words when it came to evaluating Zhang Junbao.
His purpose in opening up the lineage this time was to find a reliable successor to inherit the Duan Donghe Lineage. However, Zhang Junbao in front of him gave him a feeling that he must seize the opportunity, as it was the chance for the Duan Donghe Lineage to prosper.
That is indeed the case.
Zhang Junbao's words successfully caught Duan Donghe's attention. Without hesitation, he stretched out his right hand, and a drop of black World Beast Blood appeared in his palm, emitting a terrifying dark light.
"You should be able to see that I am in control of this power, not that the Power of Destruction of this World Beast is controlling me."
Duan Donghe's eyes were filled with disbelief. In his understanding, no one had ever been able to master the power of World Beast. They had expended so much power to fight the World Beast and ultimately failed. How had Zhang Junbao managed to do it?
"How exactly did you manage to generate this power?"
This is the Power of Destruction of World Beast! The weakest mature World Beast is at the level of Void True God. How could Zhang Junbao, a Universe Master, possibly control it?
"I have my own methods. You just need to tell me whether I can accept the inheritance of the Duan Donghe Lineage?"
Zhang Junbao had no intention of playing the game of inheritance trials with Duan Donghe Wu. He revealed the Power of Destruction of the World Beast to show Duan Donghe Wu his potential.
Duan Donghe's strength surpasses that of any other powerful being in the current Universe Ocean, and he is naturally more aware of the threat and power of the World Beast. It would be impossible for him not to be tempted by a successor who can wield the Power of Destruction of the World Beast.
Why did Duan Donghe leave behind this virtual consciousness? Wasn't it to pass on the Duan Donghe Lineage? Which sect wouldn't want a gifted successor like Zhang Junbao?
Zhang Junbao brought Luo Feng here to prepare for two possibilities. If Duan Donghe was unwilling to directly pass on the inheritance to him, he could leave Luo Feng here and let him slowly pass the tests.
However, it was clear that the Power of Destruction of the World Beast displayed by Zhang Junbao greatly tempted Duan Donghe.
Countless Reincarnation Era ago, they schemed and plotted to obtain this power, yet now they are actively seeking to become the inheritors of the Duan Donghe Lineage. If they were to refuse, then the Duan Donghe Lineage would simply perish.
Seeing the hesitation in Duan Donghe's illusory figure, Zhang Junbao knew that there might be a chance.
After a moment of silence, Duan Donghe said, "I can let you skip the test of the Life-and-Death Corridor ahead. I believe that with your strength, passing through it won't be difficult. However, the next test is still required."
"Oh?"
Zhang Junbao was somewhat surprised. Duan Donghe was willing to exempt him from the initial test of the Life-and-Death Corridor, which was within his expectations. However, he did not expect that even though he demonstrated the Power of Destruction of the World Beast, Duan Donghe still did not choose to take him under his wing directly.
"Come with me."
Duan Donghe turned and walked towards the side of the Misty Hall behind him.
Seeing that Duan Donghe had spoken with Zhang Junbao about something and then left, the other five Alien Race Universe Master immediately became anxious.
"Lord Duan Donghe, we are willing to accept the test of succession!"
Duan Donghe stopped and turned to look at the group, his gaze sweeping over them.
After Zhang Junbao came into the picture, Duan Donghe looked at the others with a hint of disdain.
"You... take the other passage. Wait a moment, the gate will open, and you can proceed along this corridor. You can use any means necessary, as long as you survive. That will pass the most basic screening and allow you to begin contact with the inheritance."
Passing on the legacy!
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the five Alien Race Universe Master immediately lit up.
Once you reach the next main hall along the passage, you can access the legacy.
They were very excited, but when they turned around and saw Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng following Duan Donghe toward the other gate, they felt a pang of sadness.
"My lord, what about him?" The Lord Ying Ai didn't dare to criticize Zhang Junbao, so he could only point at Luo Feng and ask, "Where is this Galaxy Lord Luo Feng?"
It's one thing for Zhang Junbao to go with Duan Donghe, but even Luo Feng went along. This is clearly taking a shortcut!
The Universe Ocean has never been fair; they just didn't expect that they would still face discrimination when accepting the Ancient Civilization Inheritance.
"He?"
Duan Donghe looked at Zhang Junbao, seemingly asking for his opinion.
"This is my brother. He's only cultivated for a few hundred thousand years. In terms of combat power, suppressing these five good-for-nothings outside is no problem. If even that doesn't meet the requirements of the Duan Donghe Lineage, then I'll withdraw as well."
Hearing that Zhang Junbao wanted to leave, Duan Donghe was displeased.
Having finally found a peerless successor, how could I let him slip away right under my nose?
"He's only cultivated for a few hundred thousand years? Let him undergo the first selection first."
Duan Donghe a finger, and the floor of the hall suddenly split open, revealing a Rubik's Cube-like device, dark red in color. The surface of the device was covered with numerous Law Secret Patterns, making it extremely profound.
"An instrument for analyzing the Life Gene Map? Interesting." Zhang Junbao said, glancing at the secret patterns on it.
"You can decipher the secret patterns on this?" Duan Donghe asked, somewhat surprised.
"I follow the Secret Pattern Diagram School. Although countless Reincarnation Era have passed and the mystic runes of the Universe Laws have changed, some clues can still be seen in the most basic Secret Pattern Diagram."
In contrast, the other Alien Race Universe Master were all dizzy upon seeing these secret runes, completely unable to comprehend their mysteries.
Duan Donghe smiled and pointed at Luo Feng, saying, "You, go in."
Luo Feng glanced at Zhang Junbao, and seeing him nod, he walked in without hesitation.
A moment later, the instrument was turned on again. Luo Feng strode out the door and saw Duan Donghe nod with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Very good, you meet the requirements."
"You lot, go in one by one."
Seeing that Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng had already gained the upper hand, they dared not hesitate any longer and entered together one after another.
When the Lord Lihai finally emerged, he saw that Duan Donghe's face had darkened.
"You, leave immediately, or you will perish."
"Why?" the Lord Lihai couldn't help but ask.
"Those who are not of my kind dare to covet the inheritance of my Duan Donghe Lineage? Wishful thinking! Get lost!" Duan Donghe said coldly.
"What about him? He hasn't even been tested!" The Lord Lihai said, pointing at Zhang Junbao unwillingly.
"He doesn't need to test you. If it weren't for the difficulty you all face in your cultivation, you wouldn't even be qualified to undergo the selection process."
"The passage is right there. Those who are unwilling to face the test of life and death may leave."
After saying that, Duan Donghe didn't look back and led Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng towards another passage. Meanwhile, the Lord Lihai was blasted out of the Tomb Ship by a strange force.
The two followed Duan Donghe to the front of the spacious hall. On both sides of the hall stood stone pillars, each with a phantom image on it. The phantom image on the left pillar was solid, radiating thousands of different fluctuations, while the phantom image on the right pillar was very loose, as if it were an unfinished product.
Duan Donghe stopped in front of a stone pillar, looking at the three-dimensional phantom before him, and said, "This is a very popular form of entertainment in the civilization of my hometown, and also a means of cultivating and training comprehension. Any major power or special inheritance will use it as an assessment method to test the comprehension of candidates. It is called the ' Rhino Emperor Game '!"
"The previous 123 endgame puzzles have been completed and serve as solutions for reference. What you need to do is to figure out the patterns in these 123 solutions before solving the endgame puzzles on the right."
"The more and faster you solve the puzzles, the stronger your comprehension. As long as you meet my requirements within the specified time, you will be able to receive the inheritance. If you can solve 6,000 puzzles within three eras, you can directly receive the inheritance of my Duan Donghe Lineage!"
"If you solve 6000 games, you're destined for a bright future and will achieve even greater things than me."
Duan Donghe said, looking at Zhang Junbao, "Although you have mastered a power that even I find incredible, I still hope that you can pass the test of the Rhino Emperor Game."
Seeing Duan Donghe's high regard for the Rhino Emperor Game, Zhang Junbao also wanted to give it a try. However, the rule that solving 6,000 formations would allow one to directly become the inheritor gave Zhang Junbao another idea.
"What if more than one person solves all 6,000 Rhino Emperor Game within the allotted time?" Zhang Junbao asked.
"More than one person?"
Duan Donghe was stunned for a moment. He had never thought that he could find such a successor. After all, geniuses with such talent were extremely rare.
" The Duan Donghe Lineage has always had only one inheritor. Anyone else who comes into contact with the Rhino Emperor Game and obtains the inheritance will be eliminated. Moreover, you underestimate the Rhino Emperor Game too much. In the Reincarnation Era I lived in, no inheritor was able to solve 6,000 formations within three eras," Duan Donghe said, shaking his head.
"In your Reincarnation Era, was there anyone who could wield the Power of Destruction of the World Beast? Every era has its geniuses, so why do you use your own circumstances to deny the geniuses of this era?" Zhang Junbao countered.
Zhang Junbao knew very well that he might not be able to do it, but the Original Ancestor, whose consciousness had broken free from the seal, was capable of doing it.
In other words, if Zhang Junbao brings the Original Ancestor directly, Duan Donghe will probably have to respectfully hand over the inheritance.
Moreover, even he himself might not be able to solve the 6000th puzzle. You have to understand that Zhang Junbao is the inheritor of the entire Secret Pattern Diagram School. The Secret Pattern Diagram School was established in the Reincarnation Era where his Origin Clone Universe was located.
With his Origin Clone Universe, his speed of comprehending the Law Secret Patterns is definitely no slower than that of the Universe Supreme Master. After all, the Origin Clone itself is a Universe Origin at the same level as the Original Universe.
This question stumped Duan Donghe.
Indeed, under normal circumstances, it is already very difficult to select a qualified successor, but Zhang Junbao told Duan Donghe about another possibility: there are too many excellent successors.
Must we really exterminate all the other outstanding successors?
If the Original Ancestor were to solve 6000 cases first, he would be reluctant to Duan Donghe and kill Zhang Junbao.
Isn't the inheritor who can wield the Power of Destruction far more powerful than the inheritor who has solved 6,000 puzzles? Duan Donghe doesn't want to give up on either one.
Should we follow the will of our ancestors, with only one successor per generation, or should we break this restriction and allow outstanding successors to Duan Donghe Lineage?
"What is your purpose in passing on this tradition? Is it merely to select a 'qualified' successor, or do you hope to carry forward the Duan Donghe Lineage?"
Zhang Junbao's question directly addresses the core of Duan Donghe Inheritance.
He remained silent for a long time before asking, "Can you really bring the Duan Donghe Lineage a successor who can solve the 6000-chapter Rhino Emperor Game?"
