Devouring Star Heart: Illusionary Demon Lord

At the summit of the mountain lies the territory of the Light Armor Clan, whose members, clad in armor with light patterns and wielding spears, stand in neat rows around the palace.

This time, they weren't so lucky. Before they even got close, the Light Armor Clan Venerable noticed them. "Outsider? How dare you trespass into the secret realm! You're courting death!" The Light Armor Clan Venerable roared, his light-patterned armor blazing brightly. With a flick of his spear, a dazzling spear phantom shot towards the direction of the Void Flame clone. The spear was surrounded by a vast aura of the Law of Light and Time, its power immense enough to severely injure a King-level Immortal.

The illusory flame clone dodged the attack in a flash, and as it appeared, it immediately took out the inheritance ring: "The inheritor of the Light-Time Beast God of the Ancestral God Sect has come for the inheritance trial."

Venerable Jade Light's expression hardened as he sensed the inheritance ring. He said in a deep voice, "The inheritance trial requires you to defeat me to enter the Inheritance Hall and receive the inheritance!"

Wu Qingfeng put away the inheritance ring: "What about Venerable Guangyan?"

Jade Light Venerable sneered, "Judging from the fact that you used the power of a world to dodge just now, you're actually a Realm Lord. You're unlucky. Those below the Immortal level only need to pass the test to enter the Inheritance Temple at the summit; only those above the Immortal level need to defeat Jade Light Venerable. It's just a pity you arrived too late. Hundreds of millions of epochs ago, I managed to break through to the Venerable level by sheer luck. For a Realm Lord like you to even reach me is already a miracle!"

Wu Qingfeng said no more and attacked directly with the soul secret technique from the Dark Codex. Even a mid-level Venerable starts with 1 million times the power of a Realm Lord. Although his genetic level and the innate secret technique of the Undying Body can level the gap in combat power, only the soul secret technique is the most effective means to fight against Venerables of higher levels.

It's not good to just wipe them out, after all, they are the lineage that has been passed down and protected. If too many are slaughtered, who knows what kind of changes it might cause!

The power of the soul, like an invisible blade, surged towards Venerable Yuguang's sea of ​​consciousness. Venerable Yuguang was prepared and immediately activated his soul defense technique to resist the soul attack.

"A mere soul attack!" Before Venerable Jade Light could finish speaking, his spiritual sea was damaged, and his divine body plummeted from the sky. "What a terrifying soul attack!"

He swung his spear once more, unleashing countless illusory spear shadows based on the Law of Light and Time, shooting towards the illusory flame clone. At the same time, he shouted to the surrounding members of the Light Armor Clan, "Attack! Surround them!"

Dozens of Light Armor Clan Immortals answered the order in unison, wielding their spears simultaneously. Countless attacks rained down on the Void Flame Avatar, forming a tight attack net that completely blocked his retreat.

The illusory flame clone remained expressionless, its fire and space laws surging, and the Flame Demon Armor instantly appeared, with fine fire and space runes emerging on its surface. At the same time, 1008 golden fire and space swords separated from the Flame Demon Armor, hovering around its body to form a fire and space sword shield, blocking all attacks and emitting a piercing metallic clang, with sparks flying everywhere.

At the same time, the soul power of the illusory flame clone surged once more, the power of the dark magic crystal erupted at full force, and the power of the soul attack increased again, instantly breaking through Jade Light Venerable's soul defense and surging into his sea of ​​consciousness. Jade Light Venerable shuddered, a trace of pain and disbelief flashing in his eyes. He had not expected that this outsider's soul attack would be so powerful; even with his soul defense secret technique and armor, he could not withstand it.

"No...impossible!" Venerable Jade Light let out a shrill scream as his sea of ​​consciousness was attacked by the power of the soul, nearly causing him to perish. The surrounding members of the Light Armor Clan, seeing this, all showed fear on their faces.

Although they were loyal and brave, they had no chance of resisting such a powerful illusory flame clone.

Wu Qingfeng said softly, "Venerable Jade Light, you are no match for me. May I go in now?"

Seeing the illusory flame clone's calm and collected demeanor, Venerable Jade Light knew that the inheritor had shown mercy; otherwise, he might have perished. "You are very strong, ridiculously strong. Of course you can enter the Inheritance Hall!"

After speaking, he stepped aside and bowed.

Having dealt with the Light Armor Clan, the Void Flame Avatar headed straight for the palace atop the mountain without lingering. This palace, entirely carved from Light-Time Crystals, was grand in scale and imposing in its presence. The palace gates were engraved with dense Light-Time runes, which emanated a powerful aura of Light-Time Laws. This was the inherited palace of the Light-Time Beast God. There were no guards at the palace gates; clearly, the Light Armor Clan was the last line of defense.

The illusory flame clone opened the palace gates and entered the core area of ​​the inheritance. An incomparably powerful aura emanated from within the palace.

Wu Qingfeng looked into the palace and saw a golden figure slowly emerging from the light and time mist. The figure had an ancient and dignified face, eyes like two stars of light and time, and was surrounded by rich light and time laws. It was the highest-level being in the entire secret realm, the high-level Venerable Guangyan Venerable.

Venerable Guangyan's gaze fell on the illusory flame clone, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "World Lord? You're really just a World Lord? When I received Venerable Yuguang's message, I almost thought he was joking!"

He simply couldn't understand how a mere Realm Lord could possess such formidable combat power, be able to silently infiltrate the core area of ​​the secret realm, and even defeat Venerable Jade Light. This was utterly illogical.

The illusory flame clone remained calm: "Venerable Guangyan, I have come for the legacy of the Beast God of Light!"

Venerable Guangyan nodded to Wu Qingfeng to follow, then turned around and came to a bronze door inside the Inheritance Palace.

"You can enter by directly verifying the inheritance key," Venerable Guangyan said softly.

The inheritance ring in Wu Qingfeng's hand flew directly into the hole in the bronze door, and after a flash of light, it disappeared.

The moment he entered the inheritance space, an aura of the Law of Light and Time, even richer and purer than that in the secret realm, rushed over and instantly enveloped the Void Flame Avatar.

The Inheritance Space is a vast palace.

Inside the palace, in a spacious hall, there was a floating platform in the center. On the platform stood a pillar of light that was a hundred feet tall. Within the pillar of light, one could vaguely see a huge beastly figure. That was the image of the Light-Time Beast God, surrounded by a powerful aura of the Light-Time Law, exuding an ancient and majestic aura.

Around the platform stood twelve stone pillars, each engraved with dense patterns of light and time. As these patterns flowed, they emitted a soft, timeless glow, illuminating the entire hall.

The illusory flame clone arrived below the Light Time Platform, looked up at the pillar of light, and its eyes were filled with fervor.

The beam of light surged, its rays penetrating directly into the consciousness of the illusory flame clone.

A colossal beast slowly emerged from the sea of ​​consciousness. It was a giant beast with a body of gold and white, tens of thousands of kilometers long, with a lion-shaped head, eyes like two rounds of light and time stars, thick limbs covered with heavy scales, and a pair of huge wings on its back. When the wings were spread, a majestic aura of the laws of light and time surrounded its body. It was the image of the Light and Time Beast God.

The lingering gaze of the Light-Time Beast God fell upon the illusory flame clone, a hint of expectation in his eyes: "Inheritor, to obtain the Inheritance Ring and successfully inherit the legacy, you possess extraordinary talent and comprehension. You will receive all of my inheritance, including the core secret technique 'Light-Time Burning Silence,' all the secret techniques of the Light-Time Fusion Law, and the treasures I left behind. However, the Primordial Universe is fraught with danger. Even with my strength as a top-tier fifth-order Universe Lord, I was forced to flee into the Cosmic Sea. Fortunately, I prepared the Inheritance Ground in advance, placing all the treasures and inheritances obtained from the Endless Era into the 'Light-Time Evolution Palace,' a top-grade palace treasure I acquired from Flowing Heavy Mountain. I only carried one top-tier palace treasure and a few spare treasures with me to the core Inheritance Ground of Flowing Heavy Mountain in the Cosmic Sea. Back then, I was able to surpass other Beast Gods and create a fifth-order secret technique, and this top-grade palace treasure was also obtained through fortuitous encounters on the outskirts of the Inheritance Ground. This Inheritance Ground is extremely dangerous, a place for life-or-death struggles. The fact that you have obtained the inheritance shows that I have already perished! I hope you can carry forward my legacy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the afterimage of the Light-Time Beast God slowly dissipated, transforming into countless golden-white energies that surged towards the Void Flame Avatar. The Void Flame Avatar closed his eyes, allowing the Light-Time energy to flow into his body. At the same time, he fully activated his divine sense, absorbing the insights into laws and secret techniques contained within this Light-Time energy.

The insights into the laws of the Light and Time Beast God flooded into his mind like a tidal wave—from the basic understanding of the laws of light and time, to the in-depth application of the laws of light and time fusion, and then to the laws of light and time fusion at the levels of Cosmic Venerable, Cosmic Overlord, and Cosmic Lord, all of which appeared in his mind, instantly elevating his understanding of the laws of light and time to a new level.

The secret technique of fusing the strongest secret method, "Light and Time Incineration," also entered his sea of ​​consciousness at the same time. This was the ultimate secret method of the Light and Time Fusion Law, consisting of three forms. The power of the first form far surpassed that of ordinary ultimate secret methods of the Universe Lord, ranking among the strongest secret methods of the Universe Lord. The second and third forms were both the strongest fusion secret methods, and not the ordinary fusion secret method of forcibly fusing two of the strongest secret methods. Rather, they were a deeper fusion of the Light and Time Law, with the power of the secret method directly reaching the top level of the fifth rank, making them the orthodox strongest fusion secret methods.

He can manipulate the laws of light and time, burning space and time with boundless power. As he gradually comprehends them, his combat strength will also increase significantly.

The process of inheritance lasted for three days and three nights. During these three days and three nights, the illusory flame clone absorbed the inheritance of the Light-Time Beast God with all its might, and its understanding of the laws rapidly improved.

His understanding of the Law of Light-Time Fusion soared from the initial stage of the fifth level of inheritance to the fifth level of perfection. Although his realm was still that of a Realm Lord, his comprehension of the Law of Light-Time Fusion had far surpassed that of ordinary Universe Venerable level inheritors of the Ancestral God Sect.

After receiving the inheritance, the illusory flame clone was ejected from the palace. The next second, the inheritance palace shrank and flew into the palm of his hand.

The supreme palace treasure, the 'Light and Time Evolution Palace'! It directly recognized him as its master. Fortunately, the condition for this treasure to recognize its master was a requirement of willpower, which was more than enough for him, as it required willpower that was one level higher than his realm! This was originally one of the more difficult requirements for recognizing a master among treasures, but it became the easiest condition for recognizing a master when it came to an eccentric realm master like Wu Qingfeng!

With this supreme treasure, once he breaks through and can use it normally, he will fear no one in the primordial universe! Even the Zerg Queen's palace might not be able to seal this palace treasure. It's a pity he can't use it now; a peak supreme treasure has three layers of secret runes, and generally, the first one requires comprehension of a universe lord's peak secret technique!

All top-grade palace treasures have a sealing function, but they are not as powerful as dedicated sealing treasures; they are only equivalent to a sealing treasure of a lower tier.

The supreme palace treasure, "Light and Time Evolution Palace," can seal and suppress palace treasures of grades below ordinary top-tier treasures! Keep in mind that a typical fourth-tier universe lord only possesses a top-tier treasure palace, and even those with avatars might not be able to afford one! Even a poorer fifth-tier universe lord is at this level.

After inspecting the Palace of Inherited Treasures, I found it filled with various materials for enhancing gene levels. The quantity was so great that it was enough to raise the gene levels of Wu Qingfeng's three clones to about ten thousand times and still have plenty left over! No wonder it is the strongest beast god born at the beginning of the primordial universe.

Most importantly, while most ancestral gods and beast gods wouldn't dare to venture into the Cosmic Sea casually, the Light Beast God dared to frequently venture into the Cosmic Sea and even became the only born beast god to become a top-tier fifth-order universe master! That's why he was so wealthy!

In addition to materials for enhancing genetic levels, there are also a large number of materials for refining supreme treasures.

Most importantly, there are the five Arcana treasures on the treasure shelf!

A supreme treasure of telekinetic weapon: Time Moon Shuttle

A supreme treasure armor: Light Evolution Armor

A supreme treasure of the realm: Starlight Sea

A top-tier soul treasure: the Purifying Soul Jade

A top-tier wing treasure: Instant Light Wings

Apart from the Soul Purifying Jade, which can be bound to a master, the other items do not meet the requirements for being bound to a master! We will make further plans after placing them in the Hall of Light and Time.

Wu Qingfeng hadn't expected such a huge gain—a complete set of top-tier treasures! Except for the Soul Treasure and the Wing Treasure, everything else was a top-tier treasure. And the Palace-type treasures were even top-grade, supreme-level treasures!

A rough estimate suggests that these treasures, when converted into Treasure Points, would be worth at least 40,000 Treasure Points. The value of just the top-grade palace treasure alone exceeds 20,000! Moreover, even the six top-tier clans wouldn't be able to exchange them for such treasures! These exceptional treasures would be immediately exchanged for by the strongest members of their respective clans!

It seems that when the Beast God of Light and Time went to the Flowing Cloud Mountain Inheritance Site, he anticipated the high probability of his demise and left all his main battle treasures to the inheritor. It's not surprising that he didn't leave behind any major treasures; a top-tier universe master like the Beast God of Light and Time wouldn't even bother with such things. He also didn't leave behind any ordinary treasures, presumably exchanging them all for backup treasures in the Ancestral God Sect's treasury before heading to the Inheritance Site.

This is truly a divine inheritance, perfect, with a complete set of supreme treasures, enough to ensure that even during his time as the Lord of the Universe, he would not lack supreme treasures for his main battle avatars!

Normally, when someone inherits a legacy, they leave behind some spare or unused treasures at most. But the God of Light and Time left behind all the main battle treasures and only took the spare ones! He benefited himself, the inheritor, immensely.

After confirming that no treasures had been missed, he turned and left.

Wu Qingfeng's gaze swept across the other areas of the secret realm, where the six major races continued to guard it within their respective territories. He was currently only a realm lord; he would deal with that later.

The illusory flame clone transformed into a streak of crimson-gold light and flew towards the entrance of the secret realm.

Upon arriving at the entrance to the secret realm, he glanced back at the realm filled with the aura of the laws of light and time. Not only had he obtained the inheritance of the Light and Time Beast God, but his understanding of the laws and his combat power had also been greatly enhanced. Furthermore, he had obtained a complete set of powerful treasures, making it a major opportunity on his path of growth.

After passing through the entrance to the secret realm, we re-entered the Chaotic Star Zone.

He took out the Flame Heaven Palace and returned to Chaos City, where he began to organize the legacy of the Light Time Beast God on his way back.
