While the outside world was in a frenzy, the Life-and-Death Corridor inside the Tomb Ship was utterly silent.
In the spacious corridor.
The four powerful figures— Lord Lu Chong, Luo Feng, Lord Ying Ai, and Lord Wu Liang— flew slowly with puzzled expressions, carefully observing the towering stone pillars at the end of the corridor.
Each of these stone pillars has a phantom image on it, whether it is a square phantom image, a pyramid phantom image, or a polygonal phantom image, each one is enormous.
The stone pillars on the left, their illusory forms solidified, contained thousands upon thousands of different fluctuations.
The stone pillars on the right are vague and loose, barely forming a skeleton.
There are 123 stone pillars on the left side.
There are 10,080 stone pillars on the right side.
"Only 123 seats on the left, but so many on the right..." Luo Feng wondered to himself as he flew.
Each three-dimensional phantom has a multitude of different colors, radiating millions of rays of light.
For a moment, the entire corridor was breathtakingly beautiful, like a fairyland.
As they continued forward, flying to the end of the corridor, in front of the 10080th stone pillar on the right, light gradually coalesced to form a figure, which was none other than Duan Donghe.
"My lord." The Lord Ying Ai and the Lord Wu Liang were the first to bow respectfully.
Luo Feng, the Lord Lu Chong, also bowed.
Looking down, Duan Donghe said, "You have passed the selection of your race and the Life-and-Death Corridor. These stone pillars are yet another test for you. If you can pass this test and reach the next hall, you will be qualified to come into contact with a trace of the inheritance of my Duan Donghe Lineage."
Immediately, the four powerful figures fell silent and listened attentively.
"You should have noticed some of the mystery in the illusory stone pillars on the left and right sides, right?" Duan Donghe then focused his gaze on the three-dimensional illusory figures supported by the stone pillars, his tone full of emotion.
"My lord, there are 123 three-dimensional phantoms on the left and 10,080 on the right. The ones on the left are perfect... seemingly containing secret techniques. The ones on the right, however, are all incomplete," said the Lord Ying Ai.
The Lord Lu Chong quickly added, "The 123 illusory figures on the right correspond exactly to the 123 illusory figures on the left."
"Right."
Duan Donghe gazed at the dazzling, three-dimensional phantoms radiating countless rays of light, his eyes hazy, and said softly, "This is my hometown, and also the most popular form of entertainment in my civilization, a means of cultivating and training comprehension. Any major power or special inheritance will generally use it to test the comprehension of its candidates. It is called— the Rhino Emperor Game!"
" The Rhino Emperor Game?" Luo Feng, the Lord Lu Chong, the Lord Ying Ai, and the Lord Wu Liang all perked up and listened attentively.
While the four powerful figures began researching the Rhino Emperor Game, in the Three Great Reincarnation Eras and the Two Holy Land Universes, almost all the powerful figures from various forces were moving towards the Universe Boat.
The first to arrive were actually the Heavenly Bell Clan, who were weaker in the First Reincarnation Era.
"Boom!"
Far exceeding 100,000 times the speed of light.
A blur of motion swept through the void of the Flame Ice Region, advancing at an incredibly terrifying speed, and soon approached the Tomb Ship.
A black bell shadow floated in mid-air above the hatch. Then the black bell shadow dissipated, revealing a strange old man with a head of long hair that exuded an eerie aura. His hair was covered with millions of tiny black bells, and even his eyebrows and skin hair had some small bells on them.
As they flew, a faint chime could be heard.
It was none other than the leader of the Heavenly Bell Clan — the Shadow Bell Demon Lord.
With a wave of his hand, the Shadow Bell Demon Lord conjured three auras out of thin air.
Three powerful Heavenly Bell Clan appeared at the cabin door.
The Shadow Bell Demon Lord looked at the three Heavenly Bell Clan Universe Master and said in a low voice, "The hope of my Heavenly Bell Clan rests on you."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"We will exert all our strength, even unto death."
The three Universe Master were equally excited, and then transformed into three streaks of Flowing Light, quickly flying towards the control room hall.
Three months later.
At the cabin door of the Tomb Ship.
" Shadow Bell Demon Lord, how dare you block this hatch and prevent us from entering! Does your Heavenly Bell Clan intend to wage a bloody war against my Green Demon Clan?"
"Get out of here."
" Shadow Bell Demon Lord!"
Outside the hatch, three Universe Master had already gathered. They were all from dangerous areas not far from the Flame Ice Region and had rushed over immediately after receiving the news. However, for the sake of his people, Shadow Bell Demon Lord naturally wanted the other powerful figures to enter as late as possible.
"Hmph." The Shadow Bell Demon Lord stood there indifferently, completely ignoring him.
boom!
A dazzling and powerful aura suddenly tore through space and time, directly piercing through the void.
The Shadow Bell Demon Lord, who was blocking the hatch, immediately changed his expression and looked into the distance. "Such a powerful aura! This, this, which Universe Supreme Master is this? Oh no, it's the Black Prison Tower!"
Peng!!!
A black Flowing Light rushed directly into the hatch.
The Shadow Bell Demon Lord was so frightened that he dared not resist.
No way! This is the Master of Nine Fiends Prison! If he dared to stop him, wouldn't he be courting death?
With a thunderous roar, the Black Prison Tower docked near the hatch, and a powerful aura immediately spread out.
A familiar figure, with a majestic divine body and clad in black flame-patterned armor, scanned the surroundings and casually glanced at the Shadow Bell Demon Lord.
"Haha, so it's you, Master of Nine Fiends Prison, the strongest in the Universe Ocean..." Shadow Bell Demon Lord smiled and flattered on the surface, but cursed inwardly.
"Damn Master of Nine Fiends Prison! He's already obtained the Ancient Civilization Inheritance, yet he still tries to steal the Duan Donghe Inheritance!"
Although he was furious, he was still self-aware enough not to dare to offend the other party.
"I just came to take a look..."
Luo Ao, however, didn't bother to look at the Shadow Bell Demon Lord again and stood directly next to the Black Prison Tower, as if waiting for something.
"What's going on? Isn't the Master of Nine Fiends Prison going in?" The three Universe Master and the Shadow Bell Demon Lord who were blocked outside were all somewhat surprised.
They didn't believe the other party was afraid of the Shadow Bell Demon Lord.
"Never mind! It's better if he doesn't go in. If he doesn't go in, the other powerful beings in my Universe Ocean will have a greater chance..." Seeing that the other party was ignoring him, the Shadow Bell Demon Lord continued to guard the hatch door.
Soon, another three months passed. The seven Universe Master who had been staying near the Flame Ice Region and had also received the message had all arrived, but they were all blocked outside by the Shadow Bell Demon Lord.
As for the Master of Nine Fiends Prison, he seemed to treat him merely as a spectator.
"What on earth is he thinking?!" The other Universe Master were also furious. If the Master of Nine Fiends Prison went in, they would naturally rush in after him. Now, however, they could only anxiously wait outside.
boom!
Finally, another dazzling and powerful aura suddenly tore through space and time, directly piercing through the void, causing the Shadow Bell Demon Lord and the other Universe Master guarding the hatch of the Tomb Ship to be extremely shocked.
A dazzling polygonal Black Sphere hovered at the hatch. An old man in white robes, surrounded by vines and green leaves, stepped out. His gaze swept around, first glancing at the Shadow Bell Demon Lord, then his pupils immediately contracted as he looked at the familiar figure.
" Bei Zhen, you guys arrived pretty quickly." Hearing that familiar voice, Star Master Bei Zhen felt immense pressure, but still forced himself to greet them.
"So you're here too, Master of Nine Fiends Prison. I've come here on the orders of the East Emperor Ancestor..." Star Master Bei Zhen couldn't figure out Luo Ao's meaning, so he explained while trying to gauge the other party's attitude.
"Alright, I have some connections with your East Emperor Holy Land, so I won't stop you from going in. Those who want to go in, please go in quickly." Hearing Luo Ao speak, the Star Master Bei Zhen finally felt relieved.
"Is he the Star Master Bei Zhen of the East Emperor Holy Land Universe?" The Shadow Bell Demon Lord and the other Universe Master looked at the white-robed old man in surprise.
The strongest beings in the East Emperor Holy Land Universe rarely venture into the Universe Ocean, and they have only heard of the Star Master Bei Zhen by name but have never seen him in person.
Wow!
The old man in white robes waved his hand.
Suddenly, the entire spacious passageway was filled with countless figures—20 Universe Master, 200 Universe Venerable, and 2,000 Immortal God.
"Go."
"Seize that inheritance for my East Emperor Holy Land Universe!" the white-robed elder, the Star Master Bei Zhen, commanded.
"Yes!"
More than two thousand powerful warriors shouted in unison, and then surged headlong into the depths of the passage.
The Shadow Bell Demon Lord dared not stop the people from the East Emperor Holy Land from entering. However, the seven Universe Master who wanted to take advantage of the chaos were stopped by the Shadow Bell Demon Lord and the Star Master Bei Zhen together.
"Damn it! Those two guys!"
"Hmph! This concerns the Ancient Civilization Inheritance. If the Master of Nine Fiends Prison hadn't been watching over us, those two would have done far more than just stop us!"
Which of the Universe Supreme Master is merciful?
If it weren't for the Master of Nine Fiends Prison watching from the sidelines, the Star Master Bei Zhen would probably have directly attacked and killed all seven of them.
"I, Bei Zhen, have come here carrying the death order of my clan's Progenitor." The white-robed elder first glanced cautiously at Luo Ao, who seemed to be feigning sleep, then looked at the Shadow-Sweeping Shadow Bell Demon Lord and the others, and coldly said, "Since the Purple Moon Holy Land and other forces have not yet arrived, then they can forget about entering."
"Of course, the Primal Universe Human Race in the universe is an exception." Seeing that the Master of Nine Fiends Prison seemed to suddenly open his eyes, the Star Master Bei Zhen quickly and carefully added this sentence.
Seeing that the Master of Nine Fiends Prison seemed to have closed his eyes again, the Star Master Bei Zhen simply waved his hand.
His enormous, dazzling black sphere blocked the hatch.
"I, Bei Zhen, am here. No one else is allowed to enter." The white-robed elder took a step forward and merged directly into the dazzling black sphere.
