Swallowing the Stars: Shocking! The Giant Axe Wants to Become My Apprentice

Chapter 723 The Broken East River Reappears

"And that's not the most crucial point. The crucial point is that the selection process for the inheritance also includes our human universe master and members of the Hong Alliance, so I'm hesitant about whether I should break through the fourth bottleneck..."

Luo Feng expressed his inner thoughts.

"Compared to the legacy, what is this sacrifice?"

"Wait a minute, it seems like all of us human universe masters have clones, right? It's just that among those members of the Hong Alliance, there are one or two who don't have clones..."

"Well, if that's the case, then what's there to worry about? The priority should be passing on the legacy!"

"That's right, the inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage is definitely of the highest tier. If we give it up because of this concern, even if there's only a one in a billion chance that other cosmic sea forces will seize the inheritance later, it's absolutely unacceptable!"

"Members of the Hong Alliance? To put it bluntly, they're not human. What's there to be wary of? If there were a human universe master without an avatar, we'd have to be cautious. But if not, it's impossible for us to take any risks for the sake of Hong Alliance members!"

"Yinhe, your worries are completely unnecessary. Peng Gong and the others all have clones; none of them will die. As for the Hongmeng members, they are not human. Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different intentions! Although they have pledged allegiance to us humans, they have been secretly contacting other races and selling intelligence. Hmph..."

A group of universe masters discussed the matter, but without exception, they all supported Luo Feng breaking through the fourth bottleneck and directly obtaining the inheritance.

"Hmph! Since you've chosen to inherit the legacy, you have to bear the price of your demise. You want to inherit the legacy but don't want to pay the price? It's not that easy. Duan Donghe said that if you choose to undergo the selection process, the closer you get to inheriting the legacy, the more likely you are to perish!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks coldly stated, "Since they chose the path of accepting the inheritance selection, their death is their own choice..."

The founder of the giant axe laughed heartily, "Yinhe, your worries are unnecessary. Peng Gong and the others only lost a divine body. Compared with obtaining the inheritance, it's nothing. There's nothing to hesitate about. Just break through the fourth bottleneck. I can't wait to know what good things are in the Duan Donghe inheritance."

The Lord of Chaos smiled slightly and said, "Hurry up and break through, or things will change! To be honest, even if our human race's Universe Lord without an avatar is inside researching the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation, we will never allow you to risk not receiving the inheritance because of your consideration for him."

"Since you've chosen to fight for the throne, you must bear the risk of your own demise!"

"As for the threats from other forces in the Cosmic Sea, let's not even talk about the fact that they chose to do it themselves, and their demise was Duan Donghe's decision. So what if they target us? At worst, we'll just stop entering the Cosmic Sea in the future."

"Besides, if it weren't for swapping you with any of them, they wouldn't have hesitated at all and would have chosen to break through directly."

"Alright, since everyone agrees, I'll go straight to breaking through the fourth bottleneck!" Luo Feng nodded.

……

There is not much time left between the three eras.

The Corridor of Life and Death was filled with about 100,000 powerful individuals from various races of the Cosmic Sea. They were all immersed in studying the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation and dared not slack off in the slightest.

Those who haven't even reached the first bottleneck feel as if a divine blade is chasing them from behind. If they can't reach the first bottleneck within three eras, their only fate is to perish.

Breaking through the first bottleneck, and even the second bottleneck,

Although they didn't have much hope of breaking through, they had tasted the benefits of the Rhinoceros King Bureau and dared not be distracted in the slightest.

As for breaking through the third bottleneck, only Luo Feng and Bi Xue were able to do so. Even though Bi Xue knew that his chances were slim and that he might perish at this level, all he could do was fight.

"It's done!"

Luo Feng stood in front of the crystal pillar with a smile and anticipation. In the virtual universe, he had already solved the 4000th puzzle, but in reality, he only needed to follow the process once.

Luo Feng looked up into the distance; Duan Donghe should be showing himself soon.

next moment.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

Endless white light spots condensed out of thin air, and the surrounding temperature rose rapidly, faintly making the souls feel hot. This startled all the powerful figures, especially those without clones, who all looked over in horror.

"Could it be... could it be..."

"It's over..."

"I shouldn't have participated in this heritage selection process..."

"It's over. Luckily I had a clone, otherwise..."

Countless white specks of light floated in mid-air before suddenly surging toward Luo Feng.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, another crystal pillar burst forth from behind Luo Feng, and in an instant, three large crystal pillars surrounded Luo Feng, along with countless white pillars of light, which once again transformed into a palace that enveloped Luo Feng's head.

The palace, painted in gold, red, blue, and white, shone like a blazing sun, blinding all the powerful figures present.

At this moment, Luo Feng was like an emperor among 100,000 powerful figures; all other brilliance paled in comparison to him.

"No!" The Seventh True Lord of the Divine Eye Clan roared furiously, his eyes filled with terror: "The chance to transcend reincarnation belongs to my Divine Eye Clan! It belongs to my Divine Eye Clan! Damn it, damn it!!!"

"This...this..." The colossal beast that had been lurking in the first era of reincarnation wept bitterly, howling, "Why did you extinguish the hope of my Beast Evolution lineage? I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled!!!"

"So there's still no chance? I should have interfered with the Galaxy Research Rhinoceros Bureau from the very beginning! Useless! You're all a bunch of useless trash! Just because of his teacher, not one of you dared to interfere with him. What are you all afraid of?!" A powerful figure roared angrily.

The scene was filled with despair, especially among the powerful figures of the first era. They made up the vast majority of the candidates and were the ones who most desperately wanted to receive the inheritance. With their time coming up, if they lost even this opportunity to inherit the inheritance, they would basically only face death! Their entire clan would disappear into the river of history.

They were unwilling to perish, nor were they willing to see their entire clan disappear into the cycle of reincarnation. The ancient tradition of Broken Mountains and Rivers was their last hope, but now, that hope has been completely shattered.

This was completely unacceptable to them. A large group of powerful individuals without clones angrily rushed towards Luo Feng, intending to kill him, but it was all in vain. However, for the sake of the upcoming celebration, none of them perished; they were merely thrown back...

"The Milky Way!"

A white light condensed in mid-air, transforming into a dazzling figure dressed in magnificent white armor, Duan Donghe.

At this moment, Duan Donghe was no longer the indifferent and lonely man he had been before. He became extremely dazzling, and his expression was extremely excited, with his whole body trembling.

He never expected that Luo Feng could actually break through the fourth bottleneck; it was simply unbelievable!
