Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 418 The Lord of the Deer Insects, Furious

The circular stone slabs floated high in the air.

Below is a deep, dark red passage.

Should we go in or not?

"With his life nearing its end, he has been given this opportunity."

"With the methods of ancient civilizations, as long as I obtain even a trace of their inheritance, even if I am from the first era of reincarnation, I could still potentially become the strongest being in the universe in the future, and even transcend reincarnation!"

"Even if I ultimately fail, the inspiration I draw from this legacy will guide the strongest members of my Skeleton Clan. If even one of them succeeds, the third Holy Land universe will be born. Haha..."

As the Lord of the Red Lark spoke, he was the first to leap into the deep passage!

"This is the only chance before my deadline; how can I miss it?"

Lord Liu Jiu smiled, transformed into a stream of light, and flew inside.

"Ryuu!" A deep, resonant voice rang out, "If you're going, then I'll go too!"

The Lord of Rock followed in the footsteps of the Lord of Ryuju without hesitation.

Luo Xia raised an eyebrow. "The relationship between the Lord of Liu Jiu and the Lord of the Rock Giant is too good. Although I respect their friendship, I always feel that the Lord of the Rock Giant's way of speaking is a bit... 'gay'..."

Luo Feng was both amused and exasperated. What time was it? His younger brother was still acting silly.

But you know what, the Lord of the Rock Giants and the Lord of Liu Jiu do have some kind of homoerotic tension...

The Lord of Jin glanced at Luo Xia, then laughed loudly and said, "My life was saved by Lord Duan Donghe, and now that I can inherit his legacy, it is my only way to survive! Luo Xia, I will take my revenge!"

Luo Xia remained noncommittal, simply looking indifferently at the Lord of the Golden Cube.

He had a very negative impression of the God-Eye Clan.

The Lord of the Golden Faction glared at Luo Xia with hatred before jumping into the passage.

Luo Feng looked at the Deer Insect Lord who was still there and asked, "Deer Insect Lord, are you going or not?"

The Lord of Deer and Insects' gaze was distant as he softly said:

"What does eternity matter? The passion of my life lies in adventure... My people will be unaffected by my absence. The Holy Land and the universe will exist forever. This inheritance, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, will be a regret if I miss it. This adventure may be my greatest adventure yet, and even if I die on it, it will be worth it."

He paused, then looked deeply at Luo Xia. "Besides, perhaps this inheritance from Lord Duan Donghe can help me break through my limitations."

If it weren't for the limitations of the Holy Land universe.

With his strength already reaching the sixth-order Universe Lord level, he could have become the strongest being in the universe long ago.

What Rorschach just said was so provocative!

They say people live for a reason.

The Lord of Deer and Insects is now determined to prove himself to Rorschach.

He will let Rorschach know that one day he, the Lord of the Deer Insects, can also be respectfully called "Ancestor" by others!

Luo Xia said, "Deer Insect, you have no chance of obtaining the inheritance. Listen to me, leave now. I can spare your life, and as long as the Holy Land Universe exists, you can live on forever."

"Hmph!" The Lord of the Deer Insects snorted angrily!

Luo Xia's words were even more infuriating. What did he mean by saying that he had no chance of obtaining the inheritance?

What does it mean that as long as the Holy Land Universe exists, he can live on forever... Does it mean that the Holy Land Universe will one day be destroyed?!

The Holy Land universe is eternal!

The Lord of the Deer Insects, not wanting to speak to Luo Xia any longer, jumped directly into the passage.

"Tsk tsk..."

Luo Xia shook his head. These people have lived for so many years, how can they still be so impatient?

She has such a weak temper!

"Remember, if I perish, remember to take the Star Tower and the Wings of the Wu Slayer with you!"

Luo Feng gave Luo Xia some instructions.

Other treasures don't matter.

But the Star Tower and the Wings of the Wu Slayer must never be lost!

"It's not that easy to fall," Rorschach said.

Luo Feng looked at the deep passage. "Let's go down too!"

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Luo Feng and Luo Xia transformed into streaks of light and plunged into the crimson abyss.

Upon entering the passage, Rorschach sensed a distortion of spacetime, feeling as if he were flying through a cosmic tunnel.

Wow!

Suddenly, something bright appeared before my eyes.

Luo Xia and Luo Feng had already flown out of the passage.

They arrived at a hall shrouded in a light white mist.

The materials used in the halls and the passageways and cabins of the tomb ship are the same dark gray.

At this moment, there are five cosmic lords in the hall, including the Lord of Deer and Insects, the Lord of the Crying Sea, and the Lord of Liu Jiu.

Hearing the commotion, the Lord of Deer and the others turned to look.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Luo Feng and Luo Xia flew directly over.

Neither the Lord of the Deer nor the others said anything.

Right now, their most hostile targets are Luo Xia and Luo Feng.

These two brothers are too young.

Each person is only a little over 100,000 years old.

The Lord of the Deer and Insects knew this very well.

Ancient traditions like the Duan Donghe River would certainly place great importance on innate talent and comprehension.

Two inheritors who have cultivated for over a dozen epochs and nearly three reincarnation eras, yet whose achievements are almost identical... Who will "Duan Donghe" choose?

Need I say more?

The Lord of Deer and Insects can only hope that the methods left behind by Duan Donghe are still ineffective in determining how long the powerful figures present have lived.

However, they felt that Duan Donghe was unfathomable, so they had no confidence and could only hope that Luo Xia and Luo Feng would give up or perish during the assessment!

After Luo Xia and Luo Feng arrived, the Duan Dong River reappeared.

"Seven people... very good, it seems none of you want to quit."

Duan Donghe glanced at Luo Xia and the others, nodded slightly, and without wasting any words, said directly:

"Let's begin the first screening then."

"filter?"

When the Lord of Deer and the others heard Duan Donghe's words, their hearts tightened.

I wonder how this screening mechanism works... Will they be able to pass?

You absolutely must pass!

Whether it's the Lord of Deer and Insects or the Lord of Liu Jiu, since they have decided to accept the inheritance assessment, neither of them wants to be eliminated in the first screening stage.

"rise!"

Just like before, Duan Donghe tapped his finger, and whoosh...

The ground suddenly split open to the sides, and a strange machine gradually emerged from the floor.

This is a Rubik's Cube-like device, entirely dark red.

The surface of the instrument has many patterns and rules.

The mystery of the secret runes left all the powerful figures present feeling dizzy and unable to comprehend it—except, of course, Luo Xia.

"Like a language in a computer, is this a machine created using rules to distinguish between groups and species?"

Looking at the law runes on the instrument, Luo Xia roughly deduced its purpose.

He really did just speculate.

Because the plot regarding the Rubik's Cube device was vague in his memory, Rorschach couldn't recall it.

click!

Suddenly, a door opened up in the Rubik's Cube device.

"One person in, one selection," Duan Donghe said, looking at the crowd. "Only one person can enter at a time. Let's begin."

The seven powerful figures present exchanged glances. Who would go first?

"You, go inside."

Before Luo Xia could speak, Duan Donghe suddenly pointed to the Lord of the Deer Insects, telling him to enter the Rubik's Cube device first.

"This is only the initial selection process; the Lord of Deer and Insects is destined to succeed."

"Indeed, how could this be difficult for the Lord of Deer and Insects?"

Seeing that they weren't the first to go in, Lord Liu Jiu and the others relaxed a bit and spoke to Lord Deer Insect.

The Lord of the Deer and Insects smiled slightly and said nothing more. Under everyone's gaze, he walked directly towards the Rubik's Cube device, stepped into the door, and entered it.

Immediately following, with a click, the door to the Rubik's Cube machine closed.

Suddenly, the secret patterns on the surface of the Rubik's Cube instrument began to light up, boom boom boom...

Powerful energy fluctuations reverberated within the Rubik's Cube instrument, causing the entire instrument to change from its previous dark red color to a dazzling incandescent white.

"What exactly happened inside?"

Liu Jiu and the others watched the Rubik's Cube instrument with tension.

filter?

What exactly are we screening?

This was completely unknown to Lord Liu Jiu and his companions, who couldn't decipher the secret runes of the laws.

Only Luo Xia and Luo Feng remained calm.

"This instrument is used to screen races."

Luo Xia reminded his brother Luo Feng through telepathy.

Luo Feng was surprised, "Xia, you can understand it?"

"Of course I can understand it," Rorschach nodded.

Luo Feng looked at the Rubik's Cube device. "You said it's used to filter races, to filter out races like Duan Donghe?"

"That's right, the Duan Donghe lineage can't be passed down to every life form; there must be some kind of restriction... otherwise, it wouldn't have reached the point of extinction with Duan Donghe Wu's generation. This restriction should be that the Duan Donghe lineage requires the inheritor to be from the same clan as Duan Donghe!"

Rorschach said.

Luo Feng couldn't help but look at Duan Donghe.

From the outside, Duan Donghe looks much like a human from Earth.

So... he and his brother Luo Xia should be able to pass the screening, right?
