Humans devour, and the proverb "living off a woman is eternal" holds true.

Of the nine powerful individuals who initially entered to receive the inheritance, three were eliminated in the very first stage.

They are a skeleton race and another type of rock-like life form.

They were rejected outright before they even officially started.

In the words of Duan Donghe Wu: "Those who are not of my kind also want to inherit my Duan Donghe legacy?"

The first and most basic requirement for the inheritance of the Broken East River is that it must be a life form with flesh and blood; plant life forms may be barely acceptable.

As for skeletal, metallic, and rock-based life forms, they were directly rejected, without even a chance to try.

So, the Skeleton Clan's Universe Lord sent the message back to his clan, which enraged the Skeleton Clan's strongest being to the point of almost vomiting blood.

What a misfortune!

So many of the strongest beings in the universe surrounded the Lord of Yellow Heaven, but only the Lord of Skeletons perished.

Now that there's finally a chance for inheritance, the Skeleton Clan has been excluded again.

This strongest being in the Skeleton Race universe chose to reveal the detailed information about the Tomb Ship to the entire cosmic sea.

Luo Feng and five other Universe Lords, a total of six powerful individuals, passed the basic screening and entered the next stage.

Duan Donghe arranged for the five universe lords to enter a corridor of life and death for their second test.

Luo Feng was left behind alone. Clearly, Duan Donghe could tell at a glance that Luo Feng was still a Universe Venerable, and the difficulty of the assessment differed from that of a Universe Lord, hence the separate assessments.

Inside the Corridor of Life and Death is an extremely powerful puppet monster whose strength increases as the battle progresses.

After the five cosmic lords entered, one of them quickly perished, and a little while later another one also perished.

In the end, only three cosmic lords passed the test of the Corridor of Life and Death.

Next, it was Luo Feng's turn to enter the Corridor of Life and Death.

At first, the puppet's strength was only at the level of a top-tier cosmic overlord, which Luo Feng handled with ease.

However, as time went on, the puppet's strength gradually increased to the first, second, and third levels of the Lord of the Universe... eventually reaching the peak of the fifth level, and even briefly bursting to the sixth level.

Luo Feng was tormented like a sandbag by the puppet monster, barely managing to pass through the Corridor of Life and Death.

The first nine cosmic lords entered the Tomb Ship.

The first step, life type screening, eliminated three candidates directly.

These three were lucky; they were only expelled and their lives were spared.

The second step, the combat power test, resulted in the direct fall of two universe lords.

Ultimately, only four people, including Luo Feng, were able to continue.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Feng and the other three began the third step of the test—the Comprehension Test: the Rhinoceros Emperor's Challenge.

……

Virtual universe, in front of the Great Ax Temple.

As soon as Luo Feng appeared, he saw several universe lords sitting around the stone table in front of the Giant Axe Temple.

The founder of the Giant Axe, the Lord of Chaos City, and Lin Hao were all present.

"Luo Feng."

The founder of the giant axe spoke.

Luo Feng,

The Chaos City Lord asked directly, "We just received news about the inheritance of the Broken East River. It was sent by the Skeleton Clan during the first reincarnation era, saying that you are one of the six powerful individuals currently adventuring within it?"

"What exactly is the story behind this Broken East River lineage?"

The founder of the giant axe also inquired.

The other human universe masters also looked at Luo Feng, their eyes filled with anticipation and anxiety.

The information provided by the Skeleton Clan was limited, far less comprehensive than what Luo Feng knew.

"Everyone, please take a look."

Luo Feng didn't say much, and simply pointed to the sky.

He projected and played back parts of his memories.

From the moment they flew into the Tomb Ship, to seeing the light and shadow of Duan Donghe*Wu in the control room, to the Rubik's Cube instrument testing the composition of life genes, and the battle with monster puppets in the Corridor of Life and Death... the whole process was played out.

Immediately, the powerful human warriors present fell silent.

Even Lin Hao just watched with interest, without offering any opinion.

"That's the situation. The Broken East River, the powerful legacy of this ancient civilization, presents an opportunity."

"At the same time, it is also extremely dangerous."

"Ultimately, only one successor is destined to survive."

"It's even possible that all of us could fail..."

"It's only just begun, and two have already fallen, leaving only four."

Everyone was silent.

In just the beginning, during the initial combat power test, two universe masters perished!

That was a universe master who was still wandering near the Flame Ice Domain and deep within the inner domain. His strength was at least at the top level of the fourth rank!

The two who fell were at least at the level of an ordinary fifth-tier cultivator...

The cosmic rulers present felt a chill run down their spines; their fervent anticipation was instantly doused with cold water.

"This is an opportunity for my human race, and I should continue to strive."

Luo Feng looked at the giant axe and the Lord of Chaos City.

Both the giant axe and the Chaos City Lord nodded slightly.

Yes.

If we're talking about who's most suitable to take on this challenge, Luo Feng is undoubtedly the best choice!

Because he is a cosmic sovereign! Even if he falls, he can be resurrected by reversing time!

Although falling will result in the loss of many things... such as special encounters, treasures, etc.

However, the core accumulations such as the understanding of laws, the level of secret patterns, and the realm of will will not disappear.

Most importantly, Luo Feng has the ability to create clones!

Even if the clones currently venturing into the Tomb Ship perish, as long as they are not completely annihilated, they are not truly dead and can be quickly reassembled by expending divine power.

"Luo Feng, you should continue to receive the inheritance. Don't be distracted by this."

The founder of the giant axe said directly, "If the clan has any arrangements, they will inform you separately."

"Yes."

Luo Feng nodded slightly and disappeared under the watchful eyes of many powerful figures.

At this moment, news about the Tomb Ship also stirred up a huge wave among the Purple Moon Holy Land Universe, the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe, and nearly a hundred forces in the three reincarnation eras.

Countless powerful figures were shocked and trembled.

……

Virtual universe, in front of the Great Ax Temple.

The lords of the universe were discussing it amongst themselves.

"Lin Hao, you...you're not planning to go, are you?"

The Lord of Chaos City looked at Lin Hao, his tone revealing concern.

"Huang Tian".

The founder of the giant axe also looked on with a worried expression.

Although with Lin Hao's talent, his chances of succeeding in receiving the Duan Donghe inheritance are definitely higher than anyone else present, even far exceeding Luo Feng's, there is no doubt about that.

But this is exactly what they are most worried about!

Unlike Luo Feng, who could create clones to save his life, Lin Hao's death might mean he's truly dead!

The scariest thing is that no one knows what will happen to his "sisters" if he really dies.

Although the chances are huge, who can guarantee that everything will go perfectly?

If something goes wrong... the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Giant Axe, Master."

Lin Hao smiled, understanding their concerns. "Don't worry, I'll just go take a look; I won't enter the final core inheritance area."

"you……"

Upon hearing this, Giant Axe and the Lord of Chaos City became even more worried, but they did not know how to persuade him further.

……

The vast ocean of the universe.

Only two sacred universes can transcend reincarnation and exist eternally: the Purple Moon Sacred Universe and the Eastern Emperor Sacred Universe.

In terms of long history, strength, and profound heritage, the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe, whose existence is still unknown, is undoubtedly superior.

Within the universe of the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land lies an endless realm of gods.

This place is home to over 90% of the immortal gods of the Holy Land universe, almost all the cosmic venerables, all the cosmic lords, and the strongest beings in the universe.

The entire Endless Divine Realm is breathtakingly beautiful, serene, and peaceful. Buildings of various civilization styles are scattered throughout, and exotic flowers and rare plants can be seen everywhere.

Ang! Bang! Whoosh! Hum! Shh! Here!

In the center of the endless divine realm stands a majestic, ancient green tree that runs through the entire realm. It constantly emits strange sounds, which travel in all directions and penetrate the very soul.

The ancient tree stands tall and verdant, its trunk entwined with countless jade-like vines. A gentle breeze stirs the vines, causing them to sway and emit a low, mesmerizing murmur.

At this moment, countless figures sat cross-legged under the ancient tree, stretching as far as the eye could see.

boom!
