FunTranscript
00:06Luofeng stood alone above the chaotic airflow, facing three towering ice mountains.
00:12To any normal great being, even a universe master, these mountains would be crushing to look at.
00:17But what was truly terrifying wasn't their size.
00:20It was the long gravings inside them.
00:23Meteor-like rays of light danced within the ice, each one a perfect law diagram.
00:28Just watching them was a form of cultivation.
00:30In this universe, understanding the laws isn't about reading a book.
00:34It's about observing the fundamental operating system of reality itself.
00:38And these engravings were the final, true secrets of the blade path, left behind by Duandong River's lineage.
00:45Luofeng was completely immersed.
00:47Half a year passed in the outside world, but his remote ocean body was cultivating,
00:52inside a miniature universe, where time flows ten thousand times faster.
00:57For him, it was five thousand years of non-stop comprehension.
01:00And his understanding of the blade was increasing by leaps and bounds.
01:04He finally understood why even Star River Master's famous combination technique,
01:09River in the Dark, felt flawed to him now.
01:12In the world of Swallowed Star, there are two kinds of combinations.
01:16One is a shortcut.
01:17You take a strong secret technique and forcefully pair it with a supporting one,
01:22like a miniature universe to trap your enemy.
01:24It looks powerful, but the intention behind it is lazy.
01:28It's like gluing two weapons together.
01:30A true combination is different.
01:32It must be born from the same source, the same law origin, fused perfectly from the start.
01:38Luofeng summoned his blade.
01:39Absolute guest.
01:41Ever since he obtained the Crazy Demon Extermination Godly Armor,
01:44his strongest armor, his main battle technique, became Extermination God.
01:49So this blade was rarely used.
01:51Now it had a purpose again.
01:53Foggy light, he whispered.
01:55Foggy light was once just an ultimate technique of a universe overlord.
01:59But after studying the secret engraving diagrams in the boat of mausoleum,
02:04Luofeng had upgraded.
02:05It step by step until it became a
02:07strongest secret technique of a universe master.
02:11This shows a core principle of this world.
02:13Studying law diagrams to create
02:15techniques is far more direct and efficient
02:18than, comprehending laws the traditional way, he moved.
02:22Wah!
02:23A single hazy thread appeared in the void, left behind by his blade.
02:28It was dreamlike.
02:30Filled with the essence of foggy light.
02:32Then a second thread.
02:34A third.
02:35Soon thousands, tens of thousands of fog-like threads filled heaven and earth.
02:40They weren't just light.
02:41Each one was a blade edge.
02:43And their speed and power were constantly increasing as they multiplied.
02:47Then all the threads collapsed together.
02:49Hong!
02:50The countless foggy threads transformed into a single,
02:53colossal blade shadow that filled the entire void.
02:56When it brushed past, it didn't cut.
02:58It wiped.
02:59Like a cloth wiping dust from a mirror,
03:02it erased everything in space itself.
03:04A terrifying, silent power.
03:07The first move shall be named Foggy Light Void Space.
03:11Creating this combination was not hard for Luo Feng now.
03:14After years of solving the Rhinoceros Emperor game,
03:17which trains comprehension itself,
03:19and studying the Ninth Deep Abyss's techniques,
03:22his ability to create techniques was at the peak of the universe masters.
03:26The concept was superimposition,
03:28continuously layering,
03:30foggy light upon itself until it reached a perfect limit,
03:33then releasing all of it at once.
03:36At that moment,
03:36a cold, mechanical voice echoed from the dark star above him.
03:40The first move of Candidate's blade technique has been created.
03:45Luo Feng looked up and frowned.
03:46He realized this entire inheritance space was monitoring him.
03:50The system could tell whether a technique
03:52was truly your own creation or just...
03:55something you learned?
03:56Because the power you unleash with your own technique
03:59is fundamentally different.
04:01My combination hasn't met the requirement?
04:03The expectations are that high?
04:05He wasn't satisfied.
04:07After seeing the Three Ice Mountains and the 360 Blade Manuals,
04:11Foggy Light Void Space,
04:12which was stronger than River in the Dark and comparable to Five Chaos,
04:17Master's Great Extermination now felt like a substandard shortcut.
04:21He went back to comprehending.
04:23The more he studied, the more profound the inheritance felt.
04:26So profound that his own creation started to feel shabby.
04:29Inside Huge Axe Creator's miniature universe,
04:33his remote ocean body sat cross-legged,
04:35his godly power forming shadow figures that executed blade techniques non-stop.
04:40He was creating sets of techniques at an unbelievable speed.
04:43This is the advantage of the secret engraving diagram path.
04:47Even when his achievement was only at universe night level,
04:51he once created Golden Light by luck,
04:54an ultimate technique of a universe master.
04:57Now his achievement was nearing the limit of a universe master,
05:00and his understanding of the blade was deeper.
05:03Compared to the 360 manuals, my blade is too weak.
05:06The path of the Golden Space should be much stronger.
05:09That feeling in his heart burned.
05:11For nine years in the Inheritance Land,
05:14which was tens of thousands of years for his other body,
05:17he let that feeling build until it broke through.
05:20He drew absolute guest again.
05:22Clang!
05:22The sound of the blade rang through the void.
05:24Upon flipping my palms,
05:26there will be one universe.
05:28Rise!
05:28His blazing godly power spread out like a vast sky,
05:32forming its own miniature universe with Luo Feng as the core.
05:36This is the ultimate display of law control,
05:39creating a universe.
05:40Then this miniature universe suddenly shrank,
05:43collapsed violently, and transformed.
05:4610,081 dazzling golden blade rays burst out,
05:49perfectly complementing each other,
05:52hacking towards a single point.
05:53It was like watching a giant star expand
05:56and then instantly collapse into a black hole.
05:59The power was beyond even a self-destruction of a great being.
06:03Luo Feng's face was filled with excitement and emotion.
06:06He whispered,
06:07This move has reached the limit of the golden space path.
06:1110,081 possibilities of golden space evolution,
06:14all combined into one.
06:16Only the destruction of a universe can bear this power.
06:19This is a true combination of ultimate techniques,
06:22even a notch higher than five chaos.
06:25Master's ultimate technique that relied on five combined laws.
06:29This move shall be called golden universe.
06:31The cold voice sounded again.
06:34The second move of Candidate's blade technique has been created.
06:38Luo Feng waited.
06:39Silence.
06:40He frowned again.
06:41I created this move,
06:43yet I still can't meet Duandong River's expectation.
06:46Even this is not enough.
06:47Could it be I must create a universe supreme master level technique?
06:51Foggy light void space was already a stellar combination.
06:55Golden universe was the absolute, perfect limit of what a universe master could achieve on the golden space path.
07:02Theoretically, there was no way to surpass it without breaking through to become a universe supreme master.
07:08But that was the impossible mission.
07:10In the entire universe ocean, without breaking through,
07:13creating a supreme master technique is considered impossible.
07:17Of course,
07:18Luo Feng had done the impossible before,
07:20creating golden light as a universe knight.
07:23So, theoretically, with his near-limit universe master achievement in diagrams,
07:28plus the 360 manuals and three mountains as guidance,
07:31there was still a sliver of possibility,
07:33because Duandong River wouldn't leave an arrangement that was truly impossible.
07:37I will have to take a gamble,
07:39he gritted his teeth,
07:40and he wasn't alone in this frustration.
07:43In another inheritance land,
07:45Blue Blood Knight stared at his two ice mountains,
07:48murmuring that he felt a move had reached the ultimate limit of time and space.
07:53In another,
07:54Dear Bug Master,
07:55a sixth tier,
07:56universe master with experience,
07:58from countless reincarnation eras and backed by purple.
08:02Moon Ancestor
08:03had already easily created two perfect universe master level techniques.
08:07But was also stuck.
08:09He knew Holy Land universes cannot breed supreme masters.
08:12So he was locked at this level.
08:14Yet the law engravings were the true combination of all laws.
08:18At this moment,
08:19all the aged universe masters,
08:21from East Emperor and Purple,
08:23Moon Holy Lands,
08:24who had passed the second,
08:25Bottleneck had thirty-six,
08:27Manuals and an Ice Mountain.
08:29Those who only passed the first Bottleneck had only an Ice Mountain,
08:32no Manual at all.
08:33Yet none dared to give up.
08:35Every one of them coveted that.
08:37Slightest trace of possibility,
08:39the chance to
08:39receive the core inheritance of Duandong,
08:43River's lineage.
08:44Unable to become a universe supreme master,
08:47yet having to create a secret technique that was on.
08:50The level of a universe supreme master,
08:52this was like a gigantic barrier that nature had set before their paths,
08:57hindering Luofeng.
08:58Dear Bug Master,
08:59Youzai Master,
09:00Blue Blood Knight,
09:01and the various other great beings.
09:03Within Universe Ocean,
09:04there could be simply no solution at all.
09:07Even Luofeng's teacher,
09:09Primal Chaos City leader,
09:10would not be able to achieve it either,
09:12but now,
09:13Duandong River was obviously forcing them to succeed.
09:16This tells us how extreme.
09:18Duandong River's inheritance is,
09:19It doesn't test what you currently are.
09:22It tests whether you can do what the entire Universe Ocean believes is impossible.
09:27Time flew by.
09:28Within the blink of an eye,
09:30another three decades passed.
09:32In the virtual universe,
09:34Luofeng sat cross-legged with a great quantity of
09:36three-dimensional virtual shadows,
09:39from the Rhinoceros Emperor game,
09:41surrounding him.
09:42His brows were furrowed as he looked at the primitive giant.
09:46Huge axe creator,
09:47I have been thinking very hard,
09:49but I still cannot find a stronger blade technique.
09:52Would huge axe creator like to give me some pointers on how I should advance?
09:56Huge axe creator,
09:58also seated cross-legged,
09:59replied,
10:00Within that ancient civilization,
10:02the inheritance from the pulse of Duandong River is extremely powerful,
10:06so they set very stringent requirements for their heirs.
10:09For him to have such a demand,
10:11naturally,
10:12there would be such a possibility.
10:14Luofeng nodded.
10:15He was aware of that possibility,
10:17but where could he find it?
10:18He had been studying and pondering diligently,
10:21but had made no progress at all.
10:23This feeling was antagonizing.
10:25Besides,
10:26according to the Golden Space Path,
10:28Golden Universe was theoretically at its perfect limit.
10:31How else could he achieve a breakthrough?
10:33If he himself could not find any traces of flaws,
10:36then there was no way he could further perfect it.
10:39Huge axe nodded and said,
10:40I have asked Teacher Origin before.
10:43Teacher Origin?
10:44Luofeng's eyes lit up.
10:46Yes.
10:47Huge axe nodded,
10:48then slowly said,
10:49Teacher Origin said,
10:51If you want a breakthrough,
10:52the source lies within the three mountains of blades.
10:55Luofeng gave a slight frown as he muttered to himself in silence.
10:59The source was within the three mountains of blades?
11:02This is a key teaching point in Swallowed.
11:05Star?
11:06The answer is always hidden in the Yi,
11:08inheritance itself.
11:10The three mountains are not just scenery,
11:12they are the ultimate law engravings.
11:14Hugh Jack's creator continued to say,
11:17The three mountains of blades contain the ultimate mysterious existence that can possibly help you create a secret technique of
11:25the level of a universe supreme master,
11:27even though your achievement in the studies of diagrams of secret engravings is limited to the level of a universe
11:34master.
11:34This is what we mean by executing and creating, yet not necessarily truly understanding.
11:41Executing and creating, yet not necessarily truly understanding?
11:46Luofeng nodded slightly.
11:48This is a profound concept.
11:49It means you can use and even create something far beyond.
11:53Your current comprehension level by mimicking the perfect form of law engravings,
11:58just like a child can trace a masterpiece without being a master painter.
12:02What teacher origin said makes sense, Luofeng whispered.
12:06Previously, I was able to create golden light.
12:09Today, I will be able to create something even stronger.
12:13Actually, judging from the experiences of countless great beings from the universe ocean,
12:18the possibility of creating a secret.
12:21Technique at the level of a universe supreme master was zero.
12:24Yet the three icebergs gave this situation a trace of hope.
12:28Difficult.
12:29Simply too difficult.
12:30It was not just Luofeng who was stuck at this stage.
12:33There were a few other great beings from East Emperor.
12:36Holy Land who were stuck at the same stage,
12:39and even Blue Blood Knight,
12:41who had spent twenty years to create a perfect secret.
12:45Technique at the level of a universe master,
12:47was stuck at the same stage.
12:49Ancestor, there is no hope at all.
12:52Blue Blood Knight sat on the leaf of a huge tree,
12:56filled with distress and anxiety.
12:58Painstakingly, I searched,
13:00yet I could not find any inspiration at all.
13:03Ancestor.
13:04Yan's and master also wore an anxious expression.
13:07East Emperor Holy Land has existed for an endlessly long time,
13:11and there wasn't a single time when a universe,
13:13master, could create a secret.
13:15Technique at the level of a universe supreme master.
13:18How am I going to achieve a breakthrough?
13:20Do please give me some guidance, ancestor.
13:23The other candidates simply sat cross-legged on the leaves of that huge tree and listened.
13:29This was within a certain space belonging to East Emperor.
13:32Holy Land where time was accelerated by ten thousand times.
13:36The entire plane was mainly occupied by an ancient tree that had countless leaves.
13:40At that moment, the great beings, including East Emperor ancestor himself,
13:47sat cross-legged on the tree leaves.
13:49Those are engravings of laws that you all have yet to come across.
13:53Before, East Emperor, ancestor's entire being radiated a faint green light,
13:59and he was seated far away, where he slowly said,
14:02Engravings of laws are where all the mysteries and secrets of laws can be found.
14:06With these engravings of laws as guidance, you will find that the door to progress will be opened for you.
14:13The group of great beings looked at one another.
14:15The door to progress would be opened.
14:18Comprehend carefully, East Emperor ancestor said without a second thought.
14:22Do not allow yourself to slacken.
14:25When someone among you has finally comprehended the secret technique of a universe supreme master,
14:31then it is time for the other candidates to all be annihilated.
14:35Understood, a few dozen candidates answered deferentially.
14:38In Purple Moon Holy Land, Purple Moon ancestor smiled and looked down at the various candidates.
14:46Since Duandong River gave you all mountains of icebergs,
14:50then by all means the secret must lie within those engravings of the laws.
14:54Comprehend carefully and you will gain something.
14:57Abandon all kinds of thoughts you had previously.
14:59Finally, meticulously study and comprehend those engravings of laws from various perspectives.
15:05Dear Bug Master was among the first few to answer.
15:08Understood.
15:09Great beings from other groups of powers of universe ocean
15:13were all at a loss for words when, questioned by their own candidates,
15:17this was because even they had not seen those engravings of laws before.
15:22So they could only reply,
15:24since there is only a mountain of iceberg,
15:27then the path to take should naturally fall within the iceberg.
15:31We just have to comprehend carefully.
15:33The great beings who made it into the space of inheritance definitely gained much,
15:38especially the universe masters.
15:39Most of them originally only possessed the capability up to the fourth or fifth level.
15:44But under the guidance of the engravings of law,
15:47depending on the length of time spent, they were able to create.
15:50One by one the most perfect, combination of strongest,
15:54secret technique at the level of a universe master.
15:57If they could make it out alive,
15:59all of them would naturally become top-tiered existences at the fifth level.
16:04What a pity that out of them all, only one was fated to survive.
16:08Years went by.
16:09Luo Feng had thoroughly studied all three sixty-blade manuals and memorized them by heart.
16:15His whole mind and body were immersed into careful comprehension.
16:19Of the three icebergs, the engravings of laws, just a single engraving of law.
16:24Luo Feng's gaze chased after that.
16:27Meteor-like light, which was flying high and low,
16:31creating streams of light shaped into perfect arcs.
16:34It looked simple, yet it contained endless meaning.
16:37As he watched, that stream of light seemed to grow bigger and thicker,
16:42as though it was an incomparably large rainbow.
16:45The edges of the rainbow had countless blade shadows,
16:48which were either gentle like water, stable as a mountain, or fiery like flames.
16:53Every blade shadow had an extremely complex diagram of secret engravings,
16:58so complex that it far surpassed what Luo Feng had once seen before in the greatest.
17:03Ultimate diagram of secret engravings found within the ninth deep abyss.
17:08This was something Luo Feng could not comprehend.
17:11Countless blade shadows perfectly conformed to one,
17:14another to compose a gigantic rainbow.
17:16This rainbow resembled a simple stream of meteor-like light.
17:20This is the ultimate truth of law.
17:22Engravings, they are detached from any individual law because they contain all laws.
17:27Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, light, lightning, space, gold space, water space,
17:34wooden space, even water time and gold time.
17:37Uncountable secrets seem to be completely fused.
17:40Yet at times they are only partially fused.
17:43Luo Feng was intoxicated by everything he saw.
17:45His left eye kept watch on that meteor-like light while his right eye was
17:50engaged in watching the three mountains.
17:53Of icebergs and countless meteor-like light, rays that were intertwining with one another
17:58to form the magnificent and unpredictable blade technique that was so mystical.
18:03Left eye, right eye.
18:05One to the meteor-like light, the other to the three mountains of blades,
18:09reflecting and mirroring one another.
18:11That was when a mystery arose.
18:13Luo Feng was well-versed in the gold law, space law, and golden space law.
18:18As for the other laws, when he was studying the diagrams of secret engravings,
18:23he only managed to acquire scraps of information about them.
18:27Even though his comprehension was not high, there was still some understanding.
18:31Which was why, when he was looking, Luo Feng could only distinctly identify
18:36the blade figure that was mainly based on golden space.
18:40While looking, all the blade techniques in the 360 blade manuals were still hovering in his mind,
18:46appearing one by one and mirroring one another.
18:49With these in his mind, Luo Feng could even naturally create one blade technique after another,
18:56all in search of the feeling of looking at the engravings of laws.
19:00He could work hard on creating a blade technique with that sort of unique quality.
19:04It was just that the blade technique might be too weak or might already be incomplete
19:08from the very beginning.
19:10But Luo Feng was not bothered by those thoughts.
19:13He still continued creating.
19:15Time passed.
19:16Luo Feng was unaware of how much time had passed.
19:19He was completely immersed in the creating process.
19:22Unknowingly, he had finished the analysis of space law.
19:25He had even managed to acquire the skill of using all the secret techniques of wood law,
19:31water law, fire law, and earth law.
19:33Although he had not meant to comprehend these four fundamental laws,
19:37due to his overly profound comprehension,
19:39the way of utilizing the secret techniques of the four laws was naturally comprehended over time.
19:45If he'd had the intention to comprehend these four major laws,
19:49he would probably have achieved complete comprehension within two to three days.
19:54Gold, space, yet to become gold, wood, water, fire, earth.
19:59Annihilate gold?
19:59He did not know how long he spent on comprehending.
20:03Space was originally divided into five different types, namely gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
20:09During his long period of comprehending,
20:12Luo Feng had familiarized himself with these five spaces.
20:15And when both eyes were looking at the icebergs, one would focus on the intrinsic qualities,
20:21while the other would focus on the external phase in search of the ultimate secrets.
20:26Along the way, he had discerned a new route.
20:29This is the blade I am looking for.
20:31Luo Feng grasped absolute, guessed blade, and silently rose to stand above the chaotic airflow.
20:37He wielded his blade, a brilliant ray that sliced across the vast sky instantly.
20:42There was an upsurge of light rays that converged into a dark, gigantic sphere.
20:47Countless blade rays were suppressed within this black sphere.
20:50A single blade ray could actually transform into this black,
20:54gigantic sphere within an instant to reach a height of ten billion kilometers.
20:59The black sphere suddenly split apart from the middle.
21:01A dazzling golden light appeared, but it vanished in a flash.
21:05A clearly visible mark could be seen within the entire space of inheritance.
21:09There it remained.
21:10I see it.
21:12A new life.
21:13Luo Feng shut his eyes as tears flowed.
21:15He was genuinely touched from the bottom of his heart.
21:18This single move had allowed him to advance to an entirely new level.
21:22This is what true breakthrough feels like.
21:25Not just power, but evolution.
21:28Candidate has created the third form of blade technique.
21:31The cold, mechanical voice said in Luo Feng's ears.
21:34An air has emerged.
21:36The other candidates.
21:37Annihilate.
21:38During that long period, all the candidates had seemed to have lost their sanity as they
21:44immersed themselves within the icebergs.
21:47Suddenly an intangible force fell from the star high above and landed directly upon every
21:53single, one of the candidates.
21:55No!
21:55Blue Blood's eyes widened as his face registered fear.
21:59No, it should have been me.
22:00I should be the one succeeding.
22:03Thereafter, he lay there unmoving.
22:05His godly body looked the same, but his soul was annihilated.
22:09Dear Bug Master, who was in the midst of comprehending, registered a change in expression.
22:14This is—
22:15Then he, too, remained where he was, unmoving.
22:18One by one, the great beings froze instantly, as if they had become blocks of ice.
22:24They had all been annihilated, leaving behind their godly bodies.
22:27At the same time, the divided bodies of these great beings in the other miniature universes,
22:33and even those in the primal universe, were all annihilated.
22:36The moment an heir was born, the others were annihilated.
22:40It was an ironic form of celebration.
22:43The moment candidate after candidate began falling,
22:46the atmosphere across the universe ocean changed completely.
22:50Purple Moon Ancestor had placed his greatest hope in Dear Bug Master,
22:54so seeing him fail was a serious blow.
22:56But the bigger problem was that Purple Moon had no way of knowing who had succeeded.
23:01His thoughts immediately narrowed the possibilities.
23:04If Dear Bug Master had failed, then the inheritance could only have gone to one of the strongest.
23:10Remaining candidates, either Luo Feng or Blue Blood, knight from Eastern Emperor Holy Land.
23:16And this uncertainty reveals just how important the inheritance had become.
23:20For the nearly one hundred powers competing across the universe ocean,
23:24this was not simply another treasure.
23:26The inheritance represented a possible path toward transcending,
23:30reincarnation itself.
23:32That is why even the most powerful factions were now watching the reactions of their rivals,
23:38trying to determine who had survived.
23:40Purple Moon Ancestor understood that Eastern Emperor Holy Land might hold the answer.
23:45If Blue Blood Knight had also fallen, then the conclusion would become obvious.
23:50Luo Feng had won, and that exact realization was beginning to spread.
23:54Inside a dimension of Eastern Emperor Holy Land, the candidates who had been sitting upon the leaves
24:00of the ancient tree suddenly collapsed one after another.
24:04Among them was Blue Blood Knight.
24:06Eastern Emperor immediately recognized what that meant.
24:09His expression hardened.
24:11Human Milky Way Horde leader?
24:13Luo Feng?
24:14The same question was spreading throughout the entire universe ocean.
24:18Who had obtained the inheritance?
24:20Was it the human race?
24:21Was it Eastern Emperor Holy Land?
24:23Or had another faction somehow produced an unexpected victor?
24:27No one could immediately confirm the answer.
24:29But Eastern Emperor Holy Land had seen Blue Blood Knight fall.
24:33That made the conclusion almost unavoidable.
24:36Luo Feng had become the new inheritor of Duandong River,
24:39and Luo Feng wasted no time announcing the result to humanity.
24:42He sent a message directly to Hugh Jack's creator and Primal Chaos City leader.
24:47The message was simple.
24:48He had succeeded.
24:49This moment represents the payoff of everything that came before it.
24:54The competition had involved countless candidates, enormous factions, and an inheritance valuable
25:00enough to change the future balance of the universe ocean.
25:03Now humanity had won.
25:04Even Teacher Origen understood the significance.
25:07The silent struggle surrounding the inheritance was ultimately a struggle over the future of entire
25:13races.
25:13If Luo Feng could carry this inheritance forward, then humanity would no longer be merely another.
25:20Reincarnation-era power competing for survival.
25:22It could potentially become the foundation of a third Holy Land.
25:26But Luo Feng did not stop to celebrate.
25:28His attention immediately returned to Duandong River.
25:31Inside the inheritance space, a cold mechanical voice delivered a final message.
25:37Other candidates die.
25:39The countless competitors had failed.
25:41Only Luo Feng remained.
25:42Then Duandong River appeared before him.
25:44But something had changed.
25:46Luo Feng respectfully addressed him as Master Duandong River.
25:50Duandong River smiled and corrected him.
25:52He did not want to be called Master.
25:54He wanted Luo Feng to call him Teacher.
25:56That distinction carries an important meaning.
25:59Luo Feng was no longer merely a candidate receiving an inheritance.
26:03He had become the next successor.
26:05In a lineage that had continued through countless generations, Duandong River was the previous
26:10inheritor.
26:11Luo Feng was the next.
26:13And from this point forward, Duandong River would serve as both his teacher and his guide.
26:18Then came another revelation.
26:20The three icebergs that Luo Feng had spent so much effort studying suddenly disappeared.
26:26With a wave of Duandong River's hand, Luo Feng was stunned.
26:30To him, those icebergs had contained incredibly valuable knowledge.
26:34But Duandong River explained that Luo Feng didn't need to worry.
26:39There were 820 basic inheritances available to him.
26:42The icebergs he had just studied were only part of the foundation.
26:46The true treasure was the core inheritance.
26:49That immediately changed Luo Feng's perspective.
26:52Duandong River then brought him deeper into the inheritance space.
26:56There, Luo Feng saw hundreds of glowing entrances suspended in the sky.
27:01There were 820 portals, each connected to one of the basic inheritances.
27:06Duandong River then demonstrated his absolute control over this space by making all those
27:11entrances disappear.
27:13This tells us something important about the inheritance space itself.
27:16It isn't merely a storage room filled with techniques.
27:19It is an entire specialized environment constructed to preserve and transmit the
27:24inheritance of Duandong River from one generation to the next.
27:28Duandong River even explained that this inheritance space was more valuable than ordinary,
27:34supreme true treasures, and was even more special than some miniature universes.
27:38For Luo Feng, it was essentially an entire world dedicated to inheritance.
27:43Then Duandong River brought him to an even deeper location.
27:46Luo Feng found himself standing on top of a mountain.
27:49Mist covered everything below.
27:51There was no visible ground.
27:53And then he saw it.
27:54A human sculpture.
27:56At first glance, it looked ordinary.
27:58But the moment Luo Feng sensed the power contained within it,
28:02he realized that this was something far beyond his current understanding.
28:06Duandong River introduced the figure.
28:08It was the third ancestral teacher, Duandong River Jueyi Saint King.
28:14And this revelation explained why the inheritance was so extraordinary.
28:18Duandong River wasn't merely passing down a collection of techniques.
28:21He was continuing a lineage that had once produced an existence, standing at the pinnacle of his
28:28civilization.
28:29The naming system itself reflected the status of each inheritor.
28:34Duandong River explained that every successor shared the name Duandong River, while their individual names
28:40came afterward.
28:41He was the 192nd inheritor.
28:43His name was Duandong River Zhenjue Wu, and Luo Feng would become the 193rd.
28:48His future name would be Duandong River Luo Feng.
28:52For Luo Feng, this was more than a title.
28:54It meant he was officially becoming part of this ancient lineage.
28:57But the next revelation was even more shocking.
29:00Duandong River explained that the third ancestral teacher was not merely powerful by the standards.
29:06Luo Feng knew the beings Luo Feng called universe supreme.
29:10Masters were called true gods in Duandong River's homeland.
29:14And even true gods were only considered a threshold toward the higher levels of that ancient civilization.
29:21This completely changes the scale of power.
29:23Luo Feng's current understanding of the universe ocean had been built around universe masters and
29:28universe supreme masters.
29:30But the ancient civilization possessed a much larger hierarchy.
29:34What Luo Feng considered the peak was, according to Duandong River, only an intermediate threshold in
29:40his homeland.
29:41And the third ancestral teacher had gone far beyond that.
29:44He had reached a level where countless great beings acknowledged him.
29:48That was why he earned the title Saint King.
29:50Duandong River himself had received only the character Wu, because although he had been respected
29:56by countless beings, he had never reached the same level as the legendary saints and kings.
30:02Then came another astonishing detail.
30:04The third ancestral teacher had perfected the Duandong River inheritance.
30:09And throughout its history, nine inheritors had reached the level of saints.
30:14That meant Luo Feng had not merely obtained a powerful technique.
30:17He had inherited one of the greatest lineages in the entire ancient civilization.
30:22No wonder he felt fortunate.
30:24The inheritance had already produced beings who stood at the highest levels of their civilization.
30:30Now Luo Feng was being added to that lineage.
30:33Duandong River then gave him the final instruction.
30:35He had to kneel before the third ancestral teacher.
30:39Luo Feng approached the prepared futon.
30:41He knelt.
30:42Then he kowtowed.
30:44The moment his head touched the rock, something extraordinary happened.
30:48Countless black rays suddenly erupted from the place, where he knelt and poured directly
30:54into his body.
30:55At the same time, the sculpture of the third ancestral teacher began emitting its own light.
31:01The two forces converged upon Luo Feng.
31:04Then came a single command.
31:06Inherit.
31:07Even Luo Feng's extraordinarily powerful will could not completely withstand the sensation.
31:12He grunted as black and white streams of light entered between his eyebrows.
31:17A strange inheritance mark formed there.
31:20Duandong River watched silently.
31:22For him, this was an emotional moment.
31:24The simple act of kneeling represented something far greater.
31:28A lineage that had survived through generations, had finally found its next successor.
31:33And Duandong River's final thought made the significance unmistakable.
31:37Duandong River Luo Feng, from this moment onward you are Duandong River.
31:43Luo Feng's entire body trembled as he gripped the rocks beneath him.
31:47A black and white mark appeared between his eyebrows, almost as though an invisible force
31:52were forcibly branding his soul.
31:54Then, just as suddenly, the mark disappeared from sight.
31:57But it had not truly vanished.
32:00It had become a permanent part of him.
32:02This imprint was not merely a symbol of succession.
32:05It was the key that connected Luo Feng to the entire inheritance space.
32:10Duandong River explained that every inheritor throughout the lineage had received the same
32:14imprint.
32:15It was created by the third-generation ancestor, and every successor had to carry it.
32:20The reason was simple.
32:22The inheritance space itself needed a way to recognize its rightful successor.
32:26And that tells us something important about the scale of what Luo Feng had inherited.
32:31This was not an ordinary treasure that could simply be picked up and controlled.
32:35The space of inheritance was described as being more valuable than a miniature universe and
32:40far more precious than ordinary.
32:43Supreme true treasures, something of that level naturally, required an equally extraordinary
32:48method of recognizing its master.
32:51The imprint was that method.
32:52But there was another complication.
32:54Duandong River himself still controlled the inheritance space.
32:58His physical body had already been destroyed.
33:01Yet he had left behind a virtual consciousness containing his thoughts, memories, and personality.
33:07In other words, the inheritance had preserved a version of its previous successor specifically,
33:13so that it could wait for the next qualified inheritor.
33:16That virtual consciousness wasn't merely there to speak with Luo Feng.
33:20It was still exercising control over the inheritance space.
33:23And before Luo Feng could truly become its master, Duandong River had to voluntarily surrender that
33:29control.
33:30But there was one condition first.
33:32An oath, Duandong River ordered.
33:35Lak Feng to swear that the core, inheritance of the Duandong River, lineage would never fall
33:40into the hands of outsiders.
33:42If he violated that oath, his soul would be annihilated.
33:45Luo Feng hesitated.
33:47And his hesitation was completely understandable.
33:49He was a universe knight, and he already possessed the ability to resurrect.
33:54So what would happen if he died and was resurrected?
33:57Duandong River gave him the answer.
33:59The inheritance imprint would remain with him even after resurrection.
34:03If Luo Feng broke the oath, the imprint itself could annihilate his soul.
34:08And if he resurrected again, the same process would happen again.
34:12That means resurrection would not provide an escape from the oath.
34:16The consequence would repeat endlessly.
34:18This is an important distinction.
34:20The oath wasn't simply a promise based on Luo Feng's character.
34:24The inheritance itself had been designed to enforce the promise.
34:27So Luo Feng repeated the oath.
34:29His words echoed through his mind as the inheritance imprint reacted.
34:34The condition was now established.
34:36As long as Luo Feng protected the core inheritance from outsiders, nothing would happen.
34:42But if he betrayed that responsibility, the inheritance would punish him directly.
34:46With the oath completed, Duandong River finally began showing.
34:51Luo Feng the true treasures hidden inside this inheritance space.
34:55A spatial door appeared.
34:56The two stepped through, and the scenery completely changed.
35:00Endless water surrounded a small island.
35:02On that island stood an ordinary wooden house beside a curved pond.
35:07At first, the scene looked almost peaceful.
35:09But Duandong River pointed toward the water.
35:12Three black, crystal-like stones were floating above the pond.
35:15These were called memory stones, also known as inheritance stones.
35:19And these three stones were far more important than their ordinary, appearance suggested.
35:24They represented the roots of the entire Duandong River lineage.
35:28The stones could store enormous quantities of information,
35:32even the memories of extremely powerful beings.
35:35But that was only the beginning.
35:37Duandong River then lifted the water from the pond.
35:39Beneath it, Luo Feng saw countless black stones.
35:43There were 12,002 memory stones in total.
35:46And these weren't random collections of information.
35:48They contained knowledge covering an enormous range of subjects.
35:53Close combat.
35:54Long-range attacks.
35:56Treasure refinement.
35:57Automatons.
35:58Cultivation methods.
35:59And many other fields.
36:00Each individual stone contained knowledge valuable enough to cause powerful factions to fight over it.
36:06Then Duandong River revealed something even more shocking.
36:10The surrounding ocean was also filled with memory stones.
36:13Not thousands.
36:14Not millions.
36:16Hundreds of millions.
36:17Most of these contained relatively basic information gathered by
36:21generations of Duandong River,
36:23inheritors as they traveled,
36:24through their civilization.
36:26According to Duandong River,
36:28at least 90% of the basic knowledge of his home,
36:31civilization had been recorded in these stones,
36:34although much of it was elementary.
36:35Luofeng immediately understood what he was looking at.
36:39It was essentially a gigantic library.
36:41Not just a library of books,
36:43but a library containing the accumulated knowledge of an ancient civilization.
36:47And that is why the inheritance was so terrifying.
36:50A single technique could make powerful beings fight over it.
36:54But this space contained an enormous collection of techniques,
36:58memories, and cultivation knowledge.
36:59The 12,002 stones inside the pond were even more important.
37:03They represented the core knowledge accumulated by generations of inheritors.
37:08And above all of them were the three original memory stones,
37:11Duandong River warned.
37:13Luofeng that the information within those stones could never
37:16fall into the hands of outsiders.
37:19Luofeng understood.
37:20Then came the moment when he finally accessed the core inheritance.
37:24He extended his godly power toward the three black stones.
37:27The moment his power touched them, they reacted.
37:30A faint light appeared.
37:32Ancient and complicated engravings emerged across their surfaces.
37:36Then an enormous amount of information surged directly into Luofeng's consciousness.
37:41The transmission was so massive that even Luofeng required an entire day before it was
37:46completely transferred.
37:47And when he finally opened his eyes, he was stunned.
37:51Because the true essence of the Duandong River,
37:54inheritance wasn't simply thousands of techniques.
37:57It was concentrated into three lost knowledges.
37:59Their names were Duandong River.
38:03And each represented an entirely different aspect of survival and combat.
38:08Duand.
38:09Annihilation.
38:10Duand, short for Duandmi, was a technique focused on releasing enormous amounts
38:15of power from the user's body.
38:17Its concept could be compared to self-destruction, but with one enormous difference.
38:23Self-destruction releases everything at once and destroys the user in the process.
38:28Duand provided control.
38:29The user could control how quickly the godly body was burned,
38:33how much power was released, and how long the amplification lasted.
38:37Instead of sacrificing everything in one uncontrollable explosion,
38:42the user could regulate the output.
38:43That meant the technique could transform the user's existing
38:47power into an extremely powerful combat burst while maintaining
38:51control over the process.
38:53The educational point here is important.
38:56Raw energy isn't always the deciding factor.
38:59Control over energy can be just as important as the amount of energy itself.
39:03Self-destruction represents maximum release without control.
39:06Don represents maximum release with control.
39:09That difference makes the technique dramatically more versatile.
39:11Dong East Brilliance
39:13The second lost knowledge was Dong Hua, meaning East Brilliance.
39:18This one focused on escape.
39:19When activated, the user could transform into a stream of brilliance and travel
39:24through layers of space at astonishing speed.
39:27So while Duand represented overwhelming offensive power,
39:31Dong represented survival through mobility.
39:33And together, the two techniques already created a powerful combination.
39:37If you could overpower your enemy, use Duan.
39:40If you couldn't overpower them, use Dong to escape.
39:43But the third lost knowledge was perhaps the most frightening of all.
39:47River.
39:48Undying River.
39:49The third was Undying River.
39:50Its purpose was fundamentally different.
39:53It focused on preserving life.
39:54The technique allowed a powerful being to separate a portion of its body from the main body and preserve it.
40:00And independently, the example given by Duandong River was extraordinary.
40:05Even if a divided body was destroyed by a soul attack, a specially refined drop of blood could potentially survive.
40:12That remaining blood could then absorb energy and reconstruct the original body.
40:16In other words, the technique created another layer of protection against complete annihilation.
40:21And now, the three techniques form a remarkable strategic system.
40:26Duan gives you overwhelming power.
40:28Dong gives you the ability to escape.
40:30River gives you another path to survival.
40:33Power.
40:33Mobility.
40:34Survival.
40:35Three different answers to the three most important problems.
40:38A great being faces in battle.
40:41That is why Luo Feng was so shocked.
40:43These weren't simply three powerful techniques added to his arsenal.
40:46They represented the accumulated essence of three generations of ancestral knowledge.
40:52And according to Duandong River, every generation of inheritors would normally possess only one of these three lost knowledges.
40:59Yet Luo Feng had now gained access to the core inheritance containing all three.
41:04That explains why the inheritance had attracted the attention of both Eastern Emperor Holy Land and Purple Moon Holy Land.
41:12The competition wasn't really about obtaining another powerful treasure.
41:15It was about obtaining a complete system of ancient knowledge capable of dramatically changing the future.
41:22Strength of whoever inherited it.
41:24And Luo Feng had just become its newest successor.
41:27For the first time, he could truly understand why Duandong River had demanded such an extreme selection process.
41:34The inheritance wasn't looking for someone who was merely strong.
41:37It was looking for someone capable of carrying an entire civilization's accumulated knowledge into the future.
41:43And now, that responsibility belonged to Luo Feng.
