Chapter 338, Inheritance
As the three powerful figures pondered their respective plans, Duan Donghe reappeared on the throne. With a flick of his hand, a section of the floor in the main hall rose, revealing a circular stone slab floating in the air, exposing a dark and deep cave entrance. Faintly, red energy waves distorted within, revealing a deep crimson hue.
"Those who wish to receive the inheritance, go in," Duan Donghe said. "Receive the complete inheritance, live. Touch even a trace of the inheritance, die."
"If you're scared, go back now."
"The gate will remain open, and you can let your people and friends come and try it, the more the better."
In the quiet hall, only Duan Donghe's voice echoed.
"Choose." After a long while, his figure vanished like dust.
Ye Muxuan had no reason to hesitate. He flashed past in a white shadow and was the first to enter the cave entrance, plunging into the crimson waves.
He was very familiar with the feeling of spacetime distortion; it was the same feeling he had when he entered the Chaos Ruins in the initial universe.
Leaving the passage, there was a dark gray hall. As Ye Muxuan looked around the hall, the Lord of Mist and the Lord of Deer Insects also arrived.
With the inheritance right before their eyes, they naturally wouldn't let it slip by. After only a brief moment of deliberation, they entered directly.
If someone who has only cultivated for a few hundred thousand epochs dares to venture in, what about them?
When the three cosmic lords arrived, invisible energy began to condense, eventually forming the figure of Duan Donghe. "Since you're all here, let's begin the first selection."
Apart from Ye Muxuan, the other two felt a chill run down their spines.
The selection process is fraught with uncertainty; no one knows what the selection criteria are, let alone whether they will pass the screening.
"Rise!" Duan Donghe pointed to the floor of the hall, and with a whoosh, the ground suddenly split open to the sides, and a strange machine gradually emerged from it. It was a Rubik's Cube-like device, dark red in color, with numerous mysterious runes of laws on its surface. The mystery of these runes made the three powerful figures present feel dizzy and unable to comprehend them.
Click! A door suddenly cracked open in the Rubik's Cube device.
"Let one in, then we'll screen them," Duan Donghe said directly. "Only one can go in at a time. Let's begin."
At this moment, both the Lord of Mist and the Lord of Deer Insects looked at Ye Muxuan.
You were always the first to come in before, so you can be the first to come in this time.
The Huangyi clone appeared and took over the Bixiao Palace, but the Huangyi battle armor on his body appeared on Ye Muxuan's main body.
The Lord of Mist and the Lord of Deer and Insects scrutinized the Lord of Shadow Blade's main body and strongest clone with somewhat strange expressions, but ultimately made no move.
The illusory image of the Broken East River remained completely still.
Ye Muxuan stepped out and entered the Rubik's Cube device without any hesitation or delay. Immediately afterward, the door of the Rubik's Cube device closed.
Inside the Rubik's Cube device was a void, like an independent space-time. After Ye Muxuan entered, twisted secret patterns appeared in the void. The white secret patterns shone with light, and an invisible power appeared out of thin air, instantly penetrating Ye Muxuan's soul.
Even with the Chaos Treasure Xuanling Tower guarding his soul, this invisible power could still penetrate every bit of Ye Muxuan's divine power and every bit of his soul.
Ye Muxuan stared at the distorted white runes in the void. Was this... a fragment of the Heart Array and a fragment of the Intent Array? And the runes of the Illusion Array were intertwined together?
The array patterns can actually be combined like this?
Although his main focus was on killing formations, and his natal formation plate was the Shadow Blade, he wasn't entirely ignorant of other formation paths. In particular, the silver formation base given to him by the Tower Spirit was a combination of illusion and intent formations, which he had previously studied.
However, he was not a powerful figure like the Mingwu Venerable or the Dark Demon God, who specialized in the soul cultivation school, and his natal array plate was a killing array, so his comprehension effect was far inferior to theirs.
If Lord Mingwu and his group were to see these intertwined array patterns, they would likely gain quite a bit.
Thinking this to himself, a moment later, the distorted runes in the void dissipated, and the eerie power also faded away.
Click.
The door opened, and Ye Muxuan stepped out.
Duan Donghe gave Ye Muxuan a deep look, a subtle, almost imperceptible smile playing on his lips. "It suits you!"
Upon seeing that the Shadow Blade Master had met the requirements after entering, both the Mist Master and the Deer Insect Master breathed a sigh of relief, and the Deer Insect Master immediately stepped into the Rubik's Cube device.
After a while.
"You qualify!"
"You qualify!"
After initial screening, all three universe lords met the requirements.
The second step involves entering the passage to fight the monster "Quello." You can use any means necessary, except to hide in the palace's treasure.
The three cosmic lords entered the passage and faced a monster—a monster that was indestructible, could not be killed or destroyed, and whose strength could gradually increase.
At the beginning, they were only fourth-order universe masters. After exchanging two or three moves, they immediately improved to fifth-order power, and then became sixth-order universe masters with supreme treasures. After that, they improved to seventh-order.
Top-tier seventh rank!
Eighth Rank!
Top-tier eighth rank!
Ninth Rank!
In the end, Ye Muxuan felt that he could rival the Giant Axe Founder who possessed the Giant Axe of the Natal Array Plate, and his power was at least at the top level of the ninth rank.
That punch blasted over and annihilated most of the Mist Lord's divine body. If he hadn't dodged quickly, the Mist Lord would have definitely perished!
The Lord of Deer and Insects possesses the Deer and Insect Divine Armor, while Ye Muxuan possesses the Huangjie Battle Armor. Both of them have stronger resistance to attacks. Moreover, Ye Muxuan's true form is 35000 times the life gene, and the quality of his divine power is more than three times purer than that of the Lord of Deer and Insects.
In addition, with his natal array plate, the Shadow Blade, by the time Quilo stopped, the Mist Lord's divine body had lost 75%, the Deer Insect Lord's divine body had lost 46%, while Ye Muxuan had only lost 5%, which had almost no impact on his strength.
Not to mention, there is still a piece of divine power from the Nine Nether Ocean remaining in the main hall of the first floor of the Xuanling Tower.
Quiro stopped moving, and the three cosmic lords flew out of the passage and continued forward, guided by the Broken East River, until they entered another wide corridor.
On either side of the corridor, there are illusory figures on the stone pillars. There are 123 illusory figures on the left, with various secret patterns forming a perfect energy cycle within them. The 10080 illusory figures on the right are merely loose skeletons.
The Rhinoceros King's Bureau!
"This is the Rhinoceros King's Game!" Duan Donghe's voice rang out. "It's one of the most popular forms of entertainment in ancient civilizations, a game that everyone from children to super-strong individuals enjoys playing in their spare time."
With a touch of reminiscence in his words, Duan Donghe recounted the importance of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation. Then, before each of the three men, a stone pillar shimmering with a hazy, colorful light rose up; these were their respective Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation resolution pillars.
"It's a game?" the Lord of Mist said. "I didn't expect that playing a game would also be a test."
"Foolish! What does a mere alien race know!" The Lord of the Deer and Insects sneered. "A game that even ancient civilizations call a game, and that even super-powerful beings take seriously, you actually consider a game?"
The two argued here, while Duan Donghe watched quietly. Just as his phantom was about to dissipate, Ye Muxuan stepped forward and spoke: "Lord Duan Donghe, I estimate that I will not be able to solve 6000 problems within three eras. I wonder if it is possible to directly obtain the inheritance after solving more than 5000 problems?"
The Lord of the Deer and Insects was extremely arrogant, believing himself to be second to none, even confident that he could solve up to six thousand puzzles. However, he never expected that this unparalleled human genius would frankly admit he could only solve up to five thousand puzzles!
"You had previously been in contact with the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau?" Duan Donghe, whose phantom was about to dissipate, looked at Ye Muxuan and asked.
"Yes, this junior has been in contact with the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau." As soon as Ye Muxuan said this, the expressions of the Deer Insect Lord and the Mist Lord changed drastically, and their respective avatars left in the Holy Land Universe immediately reported!
If everyone were on the same starting line, they would believe they wouldn't be weaker than the other strong competitors. But now they don't even know the rules, and others are already close to the finish line. How can this competition continue?
How much of the situation have you analyzed?
"To date, I have solved 5133 puzzles." As for the claim that he hadn't been focused on solving puzzles for the previous hundreds of thousands of epochs, there was no need to elaborate. He only needed to state the facts, and Duan Donghe would naturally make the judgment.
Ye Muxuan waved his arm, and one after another, fully-run Rhinoceros Emperor Formations appeared in the corridor, stretching endlessly up to the 5133rd. For Rhinoceros Emperor Formations that had already been solved, simulation was quite easy.
Duan Donghe's illusory image solidified, giving Ye Muxuan a deep look. Two beams of colorful light emerged from the stone pillars beside the Lord of Mist and the Lord of Deer Insects, landing on the two. Before the two Lords of the Universe could even form an expression, their auras instantly dissipated.
Soul annihilated!
Within the Purple Moon Holy Land universe, the Purple Moon Ancestor, who had been summoned for a long time, finally appeared. Amidst the kneeling worship of all the universe lords and the strongest beings in the universe, it was only a few minutes before the Deer Insect Lord spoke. His avatar's expression changed, and after only managing to leave behind the five words "Severing the Eastern River Inheritance," the avatar vanished with a "bang."
Clearly, the Lord of the Deer Insects has been annihilated by his soul and has perished!
The expressions of many powerful figures in the Purple Moon Holy Land changed drastically. Even a sixth-order Universe Lord with the supreme treasure armor could not resist for even a moment. What exactly is this "Broken East River Inheritance"?
"Investigate! We must find out where the deer worm ended up, what it encountered, and what this 'Severed East River Inheritance' is!" The strongest being in the universe, the True God Awakening, from the Purple Moon Holy Land, roared angrily, his voice echoing throughout the entire Purple Moon Cliff.
"Sever the Eastern River—the inheritance—" The Purple Moon Ancestor seemed to have thought of something, and his voice echoed in the ears of the True God of Awakening, "At all costs, seize the inheritance. I need this inheritance."
At the same time, within the universe of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land, just as the Eastern Emperor Ancestor appeared, the Lord of Mist was annihilated into nothingness with a "bang," leaving the Eastern Emperor Ancestor completely bewildered.
So you made me appear just to make a noise?
"check!"
In the two great holy land universes, powerful figures have mobilized in full force, causing a surge of winds and clouds to rise in the cosmic sea!
