Time flies, and thirty thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.
"Bureau 3918!"
Inside the assessment space, Luo Feng took a deep breath. He was still a bit short of the 4,000 rounds required to reach the fourth bottleneck and thus couldn't directly obtain the inheritance, but he was already quite satisfied.
Rhino Emperor Game...
Luo Feng memorized the unsolved puzzle before him. There was no time left, but he would continue to solve it in the future. Each puzzle of the Rhino Emperor Game was more difficult than the last. He had spent 30,000 epochs in the Land of Time Acceleration and had only solved less than 4,000 puzzles so far. He was eager to see just how difficult the puzzles would become.
"The teacher said he solved 5100 games, that's incredibly impressive! If the teacher were to participate in the assessment, he might directly receive the inheritance!"
Although solving the puzzle requires complete focus, he has many Clone and still manages to communicate with his teacher during the process. Although each Rhino Emperor Game is different and he can only solve it on his own, his teacher still provides him with some assistance.
Of course, Luo Feng was unaware that his teacher, Lu Qingshan, had taken the time to create an Eighth Order Secret Technique while solving the Rhino Emperor Game's Formation, wasting a great deal of time. Otherwise, he would have been even more astonished.
"Fortunately, my will has broken through, and my thinking has improved a lot... If I have some more time, solving 4,000 games shouldn't be a problem. Moreover, my will has reached the level of the Universe Supreme Master, and I can forcibly recognize the white wings of that Wing Space as my master."
Luo Feng slowly rose, withdrew his divine power, and looked at the man in blue armor on the throne.
Duan Donghe also stood up, his gaze sweeping over the countless inheritors on the field.
His gaze lingered on Luo Feng and Bi Xue with satisfaction for a moment, then he looked coldly at the others. He said indifferently.
" The Rhino Emperor Game assessment across three eras has concluded... Those who passed the first bottleneck can proceed to the next test, a total of 331 people... However, merely passing the first bottleneck makes the hope of obtaining the inheritance extremely slim, negligible. Only the five who passed the second bottleneck, and Luo Feng and Bi Xue who passed the third bottleneck, have a chance to obtain the inheritance of our Duan Donghe Lineage."
"It's unfair! We arrived a century too late, why should we end up together? We should have another century to live."
A powerful figure from the Purple Moon Holy Land who had failed to pass the first bottleneck spoke up.
This time, their Purple Moon Holy Land performed very poorly, with only one person reaching the second bottleneck.
"That's right, we were kept out, a hundred years too late. Give us another hundred years, and I'm sure I can meet the requirements."
Another Universe Master the Human Race in the Second Reincarnation Era also spoke.
"So noisy!"
Duan Donghe merely glanced up.
The two Universe Master were speaking were pierced by a golden light and instantly annihilated.
He said calmly, "What difference does it make whether the assessment period is 30,000 years, a hundred years more or less? Even if you are a hundred years shorter, it's just bad luck, and you can't blame anyone else."
Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent.
This Duan Donghe is indeed terrifying. It has been dead for countless epochs, yet it can still so easily annihilate the Universe Master.
They thought that was the end of it.
But clearly, Duan Donghe wasn't a good person either.
He looked at the crowd coldly again and said in a chilling tone.
"You fools who can't even break through the first bottleneck dare to dream of obtaining the inheritance of my Duan Donghe Lineage. There's no point in keeping you alive. Die!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Terrifying golden light erupted from the surrounding crystal pillars, instantly annihilating all 100,000 examinees who had failed the first bottleneck, vanishing Shadowless.
Whether they are the Universe Master, the Universe Venerable, or Immortal God, at this moment, they all seem to be no different.
A moment later, the Golden Light dissipated.
The crowded hall had been almost emptied, leaving only the remains of treasures, but no one dared to fight over them.
Such methods filled the remaining three hundred-odd powerful individuals with fear, secretly relieved. If they couldn't overcome the first bottleneck, they would likely die instantly. While the Universe Venerable and Immortal could be resurrected, these Universe Master would at the very least have their Clone destroyed, or even perish completely.
The Human Race did not suffer too many losses. The Lord of Darkness and the Lord Peng Gong were both quite talented. Although they did not reach the second bottleneck, they passed the first bottleneck and are currently safe and sound.
Luo Feng, needless to say, is already a top contender.
The remaining two, although they had not broken through the first bottleneck, both possessed Clone. After communicating with each other, they realized that Duan Donghe's attack was merely a physical annihilation, and they were still alive.
As for those Universe Venerable and Immortal, there's no need to think about them. We only need to wait for the resurrection of the clan's powerful members.
A moment later.
Duan Donghe looked at the remaining three hundred-plus people and continued.
"To continue facing the trials, one must come into contact with the inheritance of our Duan Donghe Lineage, even if it is not the Core Inheritance, but only the most basic and peripheral inheritance. Once touched, one will surely die if one is unable to inherit the Duan Donghe Inheritance. Our Duan Donghe Inheritance must never be known to outsiders."
"Moreover, this time I will personally take action. Whether they have Clone or Clone, they will all perish. Immortal and Universe Venerable, you will also lose all hope of resurrection."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the more than three hundred people present changed.
Most of them had only passed the first bottleneck, and their hope of obtaining the inheritance was extremely slim. They originally planned to self-destruct immediately after receiving the inheritance, thinking that even obtaining a little bit of Duan Donghe Inheritance would be quite good. But they never expected that... Duan Donghe would be so ruthless.
There was absolutely no room for maneuver. To come into contact with the inheritance was certain death, unless one could obtain the entire inheritance, and only one person has ever obtained the entire inheritance.
Only Luo Feng, Bi Xue, and those five geniuses who broke through the second bottleneck have a chance.
"Now, I'm giving you one last chance to leave. Leave before you come into contact with the legacy of our Duan Donghe Lineage, and you can save your lives. However... the Divine Eye Clan is an exception. Not a single member of the Divine Eye Clan present will escape..."
"What!"
The expressions of the Second True Lord and the Seventh Allah of the Divine Eye Clan, as well as the Lord Wu Liang, all changed.
They didn't know why Duan Donghe was targeting their Divine Eye Clan.
"Lord Duan Donghe, our Divine Eye Clan has never offended you!"
The Second True Lord roared.
"This is a request from a friend of mine. He helped me, so naturally I need to help him in return. Therefore, you can all die!"
Beyond the Tomb Ship.
Hundreds of Universe Master emerged from the corridor, including the Lord of Darkness and the Lord Peng Gong.
As soon as they emerged, they saw the three Giant Axe Founder, the Chaos City Lord, and the Lord of Myriad Laws flying towards them.
Then they recounted what they encountered inside.
"An old fellow who perished through countless Reincarnation Era, yet he remains so terrifying, annihilating hundreds of thousands of powerful figures from various factions with a wave of his hand."
The Giant Axe Founder was astonished.
"Even in Ancient Civilization, the Duan Donghe must have been an extremely powerful entity; it's just a mystery why it perished..."
The Chaos City Lord also sighed.
He was in a good mood. The Lord of Darkness and the Lord Peng Gong withdrew in time, and the two fallen Universe Master also had Clone, so their human losses were not too great.
Most importantly, Luo Feng's performance made him very gratified.
"That's not all. The Second True Lord and Seventh Allah of the Divine Eye Clan, hiding within the Palace Supreme Supreme Treasure, unexpectedly perished as well..."
"The Lord of Darkness exclaimed in surprise."
Giant Axe nodded. "Indeed terrifying... If Duan Donghe were still alive, he could probably solve any World Beast Calamity with a wave of his hand... The Divine Eye Clan has really had a run of bad luck this time. Who would have thought that the Thunder Robe Demon God would be the first to discover the Tomb Ship and bring it out, making Duan Donghe owe him a favor." Lu Qingshan also said with a smile, "Fortunately, this Thunder Robe Demon God is of average strength and comprehension. Duan Donghe doesn't think much of him, otherwise, this inheritance wouldn't be something everyone would be fighting over."
"Haha, that's true... That Thunder Robe Demon God almost made a fortune, but he's not bad now either. Two Supreme Supreme Treasure, and one treasure no weaker than Supreme Supreme Treasure, that's three treasures enough for him to roam the Universe Ocean!"
Just as they were chatting, a black figure flew over.
" Giant Axe, Chaos, Lord of Myriad Laws, I depart first..."
The one who spoke was the Shadow Bell Demon Lord. Their Heavenly Bell Clan was unlucky; all three Universe Master failed to pass the first threshold and were killed by Duan Donghe. There was no point in him staying here now.
" Shadow Bell Demon Lord, take care!"
"Goodbye!"
Having collaborated before, all three responded enthusiastically. The Shadow Bell Demon Lord sighed, turned, and left.
This time, the Duan Donghe Inheritance caused heavy losses to the entire Universe Ocean.
Of course, the greatest loss was suffered by the Divine Eye Clan. Not only did twenty Universe Master perish, but two of the Seven True Lords were also lost, leaving only five True Master.
The Skeleton Race... the Machine Race... these soulless races were eliminated in the first round, which was actually quite fortunate, as none of their Universe Master perished. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another ten thousand years have passed.
Within the Inheritance Space.
Duan Donghe's indifferent voice rang out once more.
"One of the inheritors has already passed the final test and received the inheritance of my Duan Donghe Lineage; all other examinees have been annihilated!"
The words had barely left his mouth...
Those inheritors who were still researching the secret techniques fell silently one by one, completely losing all trace of life.
Purple Moon Holy Land.
" The Lord Lu Chong has fallen..."
A sigh followed.
A hint of regret flashed in the eyes of the Juehua True God.
"All of our Holy Land's inheritors have perished. Who exactly obtained the Duan Donghe Inheritance? Was it the human Luo Feng, or the Bi Xue of the East Emperor Holy Land?" A cold voice came from the depths of the palace.
"I don't know, nobody knows," replied the Juehua True God.
"Investigate! Investigate immediately... Send out all the Universe Master will has reached the level of the Universe Supreme Master, and the Vast Ocean True God should go as well. Whether Luo Feng or Bi Xue obtains the inheritance, we must take it back."
"Yes, the Progenitor."
The Juehua True God could already sense the Progenitor's madness; the Progenitor had begun to disregard everything, but they could only obey.
The Purple Moon Holy Land has approximately one hundred Universe Master wills have reached the level of the Universe Supreme Master. When they unite, they are completely unafraid of the Will Impact of the Lord of Myriad Laws' will, and can unleash terrifying power far exceeding that of other Universe Supreme Master.
This is the Holy Land Universe's biggest trump card!
East Emperor Holy Land.
Within the Endless Divine Realm.
The avatar of the East Emperor Ancestor looked at the silent, fallen Bi Xue before him and sighed.
"It seems that the one who received the inheritance is human Luo Feng."
" Progenitor, what should we do?" "Inheritance is important, but the Human Race is also very powerful. Even if we take action, we might not be able to seize it. Building good relations with the Human Race Human Race might allow us to exchange some of the inheritance for them..."
" The Purple Moon Holy Land might make a move."
"Don't leave for now. If the Human Race is besieged, help them defend Human Race heritage... We'll offer timely assistance, and if they later ask for an exchange of heritage, the Human Race won't be ungrateful."
"Yes, the Progenitor."
Across the Universe Ocean, one by one, those who were entrusted with great hopes for the inheritance perished, and everyone was speculating about which side had actually obtained it.
But soon...
News from other parties gradually emerged, since they had not received the inheritance and were naturally unwilling to take the blame. Only the East Emperor Holy Land and the Human Race remained silent.
Clearly, the one who will ultimately inherit the Duan Donghe Inheritance will be one of these two.
Within Lu Qingshan's true Divine Kingdom.
Luo Feng's Blood Sea Clone emerged from the Time Temple, unable to suppress a smile.
"Teacher, I have lived up to your expectations and have obtained the Duan Donghe Inheritance." "Excellent!"
The World Tree swayed gently, as if praising its disciple.
