Swallowed Star

Purple Moon Ancestor frowned as the candidates fell one after another, including Deer Bug Master, whom he had the best hope for.

“He failed?” Purple Moon Ancestor frowned. “Then who got it? That human from the original universe? Eastern Emperor? Or other powers?”

Purple Moon Ancestor was anxious, but he couldn’t tell which one got the inheritance. He could only tell that the human from the original universe had the best chance.

Eastern Emperor and I need the inheritance from Duan Dong River! Purple Moon Ancestor thought. It’s either that human Milky Way or Blue Blood from Eastern Emperor Holy Land.

“They have the best hope. Eastern Emperor must know which one got the inheritance.” Purple Moon Ancestor nodded mildly. “I’ll see how Eastern Emperor Holy Land behaves to see whether Luo Feng’s still alive or not.”

******

In a dimension space of Eastern Emperor Holy Land, the candidates who were originally sitting on the leaves of a towering ancient tree all fell, and some of the bodies dropped from the tree, diving.

“Humph!” Eastern Emperor snorted.

He saw the body of Blue Blood Knight not far from him, and he said, “Human Milky Way Horde Leader, Luo Feng?”

******

All of the candidates dying at the same time shocked the entire Universe Ocean. The inheritance from Duan Dong River was craved by the almost 100 powers in Universe Ocean, as it was a great way for them to transcend incarnation.

“Who? Who got it?”

“The human or Eastern Emperor Holy Land?”

“Which power got the inheritance?”

All the major powers in Universe Ocean were anxious and confused. However, other than Eastern Emperor Holy Land, nobody knew who got the inheritance. Eastern Emperor Holy Land knew because they saw Blue Blood Knight, which meant it was almost certain that it was that human, Milky Way Horde Leader!

“I’ve made the breakthrough and become the new inheritor of Duan Dong River.”

Luo Feng sent an email to Huge Axe Creator and Primal Chaos City Leader, and he disregarded the shock within the human race. Instead, he went to see Duan Dong River.

The stone pillars had stereoscopic phantoms on them, and a man in a white cape was stood among them. When Luo Feng wrote the email to tell Huge Axe Creator and Primal Chaos City Leader, the white-caped man smiled as he knew what the email was about.

“The silent war in Universe Ocean determined the fate of races, and we humans won!” Teacher Origin smiled.

He knew. He wasn’t sure whether he could be free of suppression before the destruction of the original universe during this universe era, but the human race was destined to have a bright future, and it was likely that the third holy land would be that of the human race.

At the same time, the email was sent to Huge Axe Creator and Primal Chaos City Leader.

******

Space of inheritance.

“Other candidates, die!” The cold, robotic voice was still echoing beside Luo Feng’s ears.

He turned his head and saw a figure flying in. It was the elegant Duan Dong River. At the moment, Duan Dong River was wearing white armor with golden stars on it, beautiful boots, and a hat.

“Master Duan Dong River.” Luo Feng gave a salutation.

“Don’t call me Master.” Duan Dong River smiled. “You can call me Teacher. I’m Duan Dong River of the last generation, and you’re the latest generation. I’m your teacher and your guide as well.”

Duan Dong River looked at the three icebergs in the distance. He waved his hands, and the three icebergs turned into nothing.

“Huh?” Luo Feng turned around. He lamented the loss of the three icebergs, for he considered them precious.

“Haha! 820 basic inheritances, you can study them whenever you want.” Duan Dong River smiled. “These are all just easy tricks for you to relax with. Duan Dong River values the core inheritance.”

Core inheritance? Luo Feng’s interest was piqued.

“Follow me.”

Duan Dong River flew out, seeing a space exit outside. Luo Feng followed. He flew out and saw 820 gleaming entrances floating in the sky.

“Hide.” Duan Dong River glanced around, and the entrances all disappeared. This interested Luo Feng.

Duan Dong River smiled. “This is where every generation of Duan Dong River receives the inheritance. It’s a very precious valuable. Much more precious than those so-called supreme true treasures, and it’s more special even than some miniature universes. It has lots of individual dimensional spaces, and they form 820 portals connected to the 820 basic inheritances.”

Luo Feng nodded. He only needed to view this space of inheritance as a special miniature universe.

“Go!” Duan Dong River took Luo Feng, and with his absolute control over the space of inheritance, he moved Luo Feng to the deeper area of the space of inheritance.

******

Luo Feng saw the change in scenery. He was standing at the top of the mountain. He looked down, and all he could see was mist flowing around the mountain. He wasn’t able to see the land at all.

“Where is this?” Luo Feng was shocked.

“This is the apex of the main area of the space of inheritance,” said Duan Dong River. “Look there.”

He followed Duan Dong River. Luo Feng saw a human sculpture. He had long hair and deep eyes and was wearing battle armor. It looked like an ordinary human sculpture, but Luo Feng could feel the power contained in it after looking at it for only a few seconds. It was an aloof and special power that was far beyond Luo Feng’s understanding.

Apparently, the power contained in that sculpture was far beyond Luo Feng’s level. He couldn’t even identify it at first.

“This is the third ancestral teacher.” Duan Dong River’s eyes were filled with awe. “His name is Duan Dong River Jue Yi Saint King.”

Luo Feng was dazed. Duan Dong River Jue Yi Saint King? What a weird name.

“I am the 192nd inheritor,” said Duan Dong River. “My name is Duan Dong River Zhen Jue Wu!”

Luo Feng was even more confused. He had thought the full name of this Duan Dong River was Duan Dong River Wu.

“Your future name will be Duan Dong River Luo Feng!” Duan Dong River looked at Luo Feng. “Each generation of Duan Dong River has the same first name but different last names. Before I became the 192nd Duan Dong River, my name was Zhen Jue.”

Luo Feng understood now. The real name of the third ancestral teacher must have been Jue Yi!

“The third ancestral teacher…” Duan Dong River gazed at the sculpture in awe. “He’s the greatest being of Duan Dong River. The first ancestral teacher was powerful as well, but he was only a supreme being in my civilization. So was the second ancestral teacher… However, the third ancestral teacher was the truly amazing one. He spread the fame of Duan Dong River, and he stands among the pinnacle beings.

“Don’t use terms like ‘universe supreme masters.’ It’s a joke in my homeland.” Duan Dong River shook his head. “The so-called ‘universe supreme masters’ are called true gods in my hometown. Those weaker than true gods—undying fighters, universe knights, and universe masters—those are the same. True god is a threshold for supreme beings in my homeland. Although it’s considered a great being, it’s far away from being at the pinnacle. Even I have never reached that level.”

Luo Feng listened carefully. He had already deduced that universe supreme masters were called true gods in the ancient civilization. It was little wonder that when the seven true masters had fought Huge Axe Creator, the strange beast kept yelling, “True God,” and, “Eternal True God.”

“The third ancestral teacher actually stood among the top beings!” exclaimed Duan Dong River. “He was also awed by all the great beings, so he was qualified to have the character for ‘saint’ behind his name. And when he’d reached his full power, he gained the character for ‘king.’ He was king of the saints. The real top being. I was also awed by countless great beings, but I was far away from being called ‘saint.’ I could only earn the character Wu.”

Wu? He had earned that character?

He seemed to have gotten the character from someone else. As for saints and kings, those needed to be recognized by countless great beings.

“The third ancestral teacher stood at the top, and he perfected the inheritance of Duan Dong River. Though none of the latter inheritors could reach the level of the third-generation ancestral teacher, Duan Dong River has never stopped. There were nine who could be called saints! Duan Dong River is the most powerful inheritance even in my entire civilization.”

Luo Feng was shocked. He felt so lucky. If an inheritance could have a pinnacle being, it could surely be considered one of the most powerful inheritances.

“Come and kneel in front of your third-generation ancestral teacher,” said Duan Dong River. “You’re the 193rd inheritor.”

Luo Feng nodded and walked to the futon made for groveling. He kneeled down and kowtowed.

Peng!

His head hit the rock!

Immediately, countless streaks of black light came out of the photon where Luo Feng was kneeling and flooded Luo Feng’s body. At the same time, the sculpture of the third ancestral teacher emitted light and shone upon Luo Feng’s body.

“Inherit!”

Duan Dong River watched in silence. He looked relieved. It was a simple groveling, yet it was the most important step: inherit.

“Ah!”

Even with Luo Feng’s willpower, he couldn’t help grunting. A trace of black light and a trace of white light were inserted between his eyebrows. A strange inheritance mark was formed.

Duan Dong River couldn’t help shaking his body. He thought, Duan Dong River Luo Feng. From now on, you are Duan Dong River.
