I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

An elder of the Divine Eye Clan looked at Luo Yuan with a sinister gaze and said, "Lord of Hunyuan, do you think you can fight against us with just this one supreme treasure-level divine armor? You're dreaming. Let's join forces and kill this biggest threat. The Duan Donghe inheritance cannot be obtained by this guy, or we will all perish."

The other powerful figures from the forces besieging Luo Yuan nodded in agreement. They knew that Luo Yuan's talent had exceeded their expectations. They hadn't expected that Luo Yuan, as the newly promoted Lord of the Universe, with the least experience, would be the first to solve the incomplete puzzle. This posed a great threat to them. They absolutely could not kill Luo Yuan, but they also wanted to distract him so that he would have no time to study the Rhinoceros Emperor's Puzzle.

After the eight peak Universe Lords who were besieging Luo Yuan reached a consensus, they continued to use their strongest secret techniques to attack Luo Yuan. Previously, they had some reservations and had not used their full strength, but now they did not have so many reservations. They were basically all fifth-order Universe Lords or above, and there were also sixth-order invincible Universe Lords who used the most powerful treasures.

Some used soul-based attacks, some used close-range attacks, and some used ancient secret techniques. They all attacked Luo Yuan like madmen, using all sorts of killing moves. In particular, the Divine Eye Clan, whose lifespan was about to end, went even crazier and fought to the death.

"Roar!" A dragon's roar echoed throughout the passage. Luo Yuan, controlling the metal dragon, angrily said, "You scum, you call yourselves peak experts of the universe! I am merely trying to comprehend this Rhinoceros Emperor Formation on my own merits. You can't even compete fairly. I think your character is worse than that of ants. Even if you really kill me, if another one breaks the formation, will you continue to besiege me?"

The eight peak universe masters who were besieging Luo Yuan all revealed coldness in their eyes.

"Hehehe, fair? Little brat, you're still too green. In this universe, strength is everything. Don't you know the law of the jungle? And you still utter such childish and laughable words. Prepare to die!"

"Weakness is the original sin. You humans from the primordial universe are too weak to be treated fairly with us!"

Chapter 307 Bottom Line

The eight peak universe lords who were besieging the true dragon formed from Luo Yuan's divine armor all sneered and unleashed their strongest attacks on the metal dragon. They were all unrestrained and arrogant, completely lacking the dignity and face of a strong person. They were like some scoundrels, which made Luo Yuan laugh. This was the true face of the strong.

"Boom!"

Luo Yuan controlled the Divine Armored True Dragon, its sharp claws grabbing a peak Universe Lord of the Divine Eye Clan. With a sudden grip, a splash of purplish-gold blood erupted, and the powerful figure lost his fighting ability. Strangely, before Luo Yuan could rejoice for long, the Divine Eye Clan's divine body transformed into a beam of light and reappeared in mid-air, his injuries instantly healed.

Luo Yuan was taken aback by this scene, but he quickly realized that the powerful Divine Eye Clan member possessed a supreme treasure with super self-healing power. This piqued Luo Yuan's interest, and he wanted to seize the supreme treasure. However, the powerful Divine Eye Clan member dodged immediately upon seeing this, and the other Universe Lords also attacked Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan glanced regretfully at the disheveled Divine Eye Clan expert who was dodging, but a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. It seemed that the experts here possessed some valuable treasures, or even supreme treasures. These were treasures to Luo Yuan. As long as Luo Yuan could break the Rhinoceros Emperor Formation and seize the Broken East River Inheritance, these experts would all perish, and their treasures would be his.

These eight peak universe masters had been besieging Luo Yuan, causing his comprehension speed to drop considerably, which made Luo Yuan very angry. He couldn't understand Duan Donghe's plan. If he wanted to choose a successor who could break the Rhinoceros Emperor Formation, he would directly make Luo Yuan the target of everyone's attacks.

As the newly appointed Lord of the Universe, Luo Yuan's title of Lord of Primordial Chaos is known to everyone in the Universe Sea. Moreover, he has only cultivated for tens of thousands of years. In the eyes of the powerful beings in the Universe Sea, he is still a little guy. He has the shortest cultivation time, the strongest talent, and was among the first to enter this land of inheritance.

In the initial selection, Luo Yuan was the only one who impressed Duan Donghe and earned his praise. He was also the first to break the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation. It can be said that Luo Yuan's extraordinary abilities put immense pressure on the experts from the Purple Moon Holy Land, the Eastern Emperor Holy Land, and the Divine Eye Clan. If anyone were to obtain the inheritance now, Luo Yuan would undoubtedly have the best chance. Therefore, these experts would certainly want to eliminate Luo Yuan beforehand.

"Roar!"

The true dragon roared, its enormous body soaring through the void. Then, under Luo Yuan's control, it turned and charged directly towards the immortal gods and cosmic venerables in the passage. Since the powerful figures from these two holy lands and the Divine Eye Clan were shameless, Luo Yuan would no longer care about his reputation as the Lord of the Universe. He wanted to annihilate all the younger elites of these forces before dealing with these veteran powerhouses.

"My God, everyone get out of the way!"

The immortal gods and cosmic lords of various forces who were still comprehending the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation were terrified when they saw Luo Yuan controlling the true dragon to attack them. They never imagined that the cosmic lords would start a war and attack them, these ants.

So far, although Luo Yuan has fought with these powerful figures from different forces for half a day, none of them have fallen. The main reason is that he doesn't know what Duan Donghe wants to do, nor does he know what his rules and considerations are for choosing a successor.

Logically speaking, those who have passed the Rubik's Cube's screening and will eventually overcome the monster's obstacles should all be considered as potential successors to Duan Donghe. It would be unfair for Duan Donghe to allow these powerful individuals to fight each other, as mass casualties would be detrimental to him.

That's why the eight universe lords kept their distance from Luo Yuan during their battle, and they also intentionally controlled the energy fluctuations they emitted, protecting the weaker immortal gods and universe venerables from the impact. But now Luo Yuan didn't care anymore; he directly abandoned his dignity as a powerful being and attacked these immortal gods and universe venerables, catching them completely off guard.

Currently, among the various forces in this passage, only Luo Yuan belongs to the human race of the primordial universe. Moreover, these veteran powerhouses from various major forces have no shame, so what does Luo Yuan have to fear? At worst, they can perish together. Almost all the most outstanding junior powerhouses from these forces are gathered here. When Luo Yuan is fearless, it should be these major forces that are truly afraid.

"boom!"

Luo Yuan manipulated the Divine Armored True Dragon to use spatial secret techniques, moving through the void. He then arrived near the Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe, the Purple Moon Holy Land universe, and the immortal gods and cosmic venerables of the Divine Eye Clan. With a flick of its tail, terrifying power attacked. With a loud bang, the invisible power fluctuation directly shattered the divine bodies of more than a dozen immortal gods and venerables into dust, which then dissipated into nothingness.

Looking at these disappearing figures, Luo Yuan was surprised that these guys had really died so easily. This was the first time Luo Yuan had attacked such weaklings since he became the Lord of the Universe. These beings with immortal bodies could hardly withstand the power fluctuations of the Lord of the Universe, which showed how powerful the Lord of the Universe was.

The eight Universe Lords who were besieging Luo Yuan were stunned as they watched their juniors disappear. The scene fell silent and the atmosphere became somewhat strange. Although Duan Donghe said that fighting was not prohibited, it was still very dangerous that so many powerful people had fallen at once. The Deer Insect Lord and the Shadow Witch couple, who had entered with Luo Yuan the first time, were looking forward to seeing Duan Donghe's reaction and wanted to know his bottom line.

Sure enough, not long after, everyone noticed that the three-dimensional phantoms on the 123 stone pillars on the left and right that had been broken began to flash with thread-like light. Then, these fine threads intertwined to form a net of light, which enveloped one of the peak universe masters of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe who had initially attacked Luo Yuan.

The speed of this light net was extremely fast, reaching a thousand times the speed of light, exceeding the highest binding limit of the laws here. With a whoosh, everyone only felt a terrifying light flash, and then heard the scream of the universe master from the Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe. Then, this veteran peak universe master was cut into countless light particles by these lights, and finally dissipated into nothingness, directly perishing.

The treasures on the body of this fallen cosmic lord fell to the ground, and then everyone saw these rays of light directly wrap around these treasures and drag them into those stone pillars, as if there were a storage world inside these stone pillars.

Chapter 308 Killing Intent

All the powerful figures in the passage fell silent as they watched the Mist Lord of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe perish. Fear filled their eyes. Since arriving here, they had not yet seen Duan Donghe make a move. Seeing such a peak Universe Lord killed in the blink of an eye, they were shocked and chilled.

The scene before them was terrifying. No one present knew how Duan Donghe would react to the sudden loss of so many inheritors and test-takers. If it was punishment, then the monster Kui Luo mentioned in the notice should have been released to be killed. But the result was that a beam of light flashing from a hundred or so stone pillars directly killed a peak universe master on the spot.

It should be noted that the Mist Lord who was just killed was a special life form born from the universe of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land. It was a being condensed from a special kind of mist, and it could be said that it had no fixed form and was immune to physical damage. Therefore, it was extremely difficult to kill this powerful being, especially since this Mist Lord also possessed powerful ancient inheritances and secret techniques. Its strength was similar to that of the Chaos City Lord, or even superior.

Yet this powerful being, who had existed for countless years and was invincible in the cosmic sea, and who was difficult even for the strongest beings in the universe to kill, was directly annihilated by the light in the stone pillar controlled by Duan Donghe. This was extremely terrifying, causing all the powerful beings present to feel their hearts tremble and even feel a chill.

In particular, the immortal gods and cosmic sovereigns were trembling with fear. If these rays of light were to appear on them, they would be completely annihilated before they could even react.

Luo Yuan was relieved. Duan Donghe was indeed decisive and ruthless. He killed the person who made the first move directly, using such powerful and cold-blooded methods to make an example of him. He didn't attack Luo Yuan. Duan Donghe was very efficient and didn't give any warning. He killed the Mist Master and took all his treasures.

An old man from the Divine Eye Clan, his face filled with fear, said, “The eight of us, the peak Universe Lords, besieged this Human Race’s Primordial Lord. Duan Donghe didn’t take any action or stop us. But when the battle dragged in those Immortal Gods, this Mist Lord was made an example of. In other words, as long as we don’t affect others during the battle, it’s fine.”

“That’s right. We’ve been besieging the Lord of Chaos for so long, and we haven’t been punished by Duan Donghe.”

"In that case, let's continue our siege of this Lord of Chaos. Now that the three of us are united, we are very powerful. Although we don't know what would happen if we killed him, we can distract him and prevent him from obtaining this supreme inheritance. In the end, whichever force gets the inheritance will depend on everyone's abilities."

The sinister old man of the Divine Eye Clan spoke again: "I think that in order not to harm the innocent and to avoid provoking Duan Donghe's anger, we can first take all the Cosmic Venerables and Immortal Gods present into the flying palace treasure. Now they all know the basic rules of the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau, and now they need to master these rules. We can let them comprehend and familiarize themselves with them on their own first."

"good idea!"

We second that proposal!

After the powerful figures from the Eastern Emperor Holy Land, the Purple Moon Holy Land, and the Divine Eye Clan reached a consensus, they no longer hesitated and directly took all the Universe Venerables and Immortal Gods of their respective forces into their treasures. In the end, only seven peak Universe Lords were left, staring intently at the metal dragon that Luo Yuan had transformed into.

"Roar!"

Luo Yuan, who was at the core of the metal dragon's head, let out an angry dragon roar. He roared, "Your actions have already punished the Lord of Mist, who was directly annihilated. What, you still won't stop and want to attack me? Do you also want to be destroyed by those rays of light?"

The seven peak universe lords present frowned upon hearing Luo Yuan's words. One of them, a man from the Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe, stepped forward. He was surrounded by emerald green vines, like a special plant-based life form. He sneered, "Don't threaten us here. The Lord of Mist has only lost his main body, but he still has an avatar in the Holy Land universe. He is not completely dead."

We, the lords of the universe, all left avatars in our respective smaller universes before we came here. If we can annihilate you, preventing your original universe's human race from seizing the legacy of the Broken East River, what does it matter if we destroy our true selves?

The other cosmic lords nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"That's right. If we can kill this human's Primordial Lord, it will be worth it even if our true selves perish."

One of the universe's sovereigns said, "From the moment I received the ancestor's order, I never expected to be able to seize this supreme inheritance. But if I can annihilate all the powerful beings who are blocking my holy land from obtaining the inheritance, I don't care if I perish. Anyway, I've lived long enough through this endless cycle of reincarnation."

The seven peak universe masters surrounding Luo Yuan were all prepared to perish from the moment they arrived. After all, only one could ultimately obtain the inheritance, and the other powerful beings would all perish. But even if they did perish, they were not afraid, because at least their true bodies were not killed. The clones they left behind in the small universes could still allow them to continue living, only with a significant loss of power.

As the seven peak universe lords surrounded and attacked the metal dragon that Luo Yuan had transformed into, they sneered, "Primordial Lord, you are just from a weak human race. You are no match for our race. You think you can seize this supreme inheritance? You are just dreaming. Your human race will never be able to obtain it."

These seven peak universe masters knew that their talents were average, and that they had only reached their current strength after existing for countless years. From the beginning, they did not intend to seize the inheritance of the Broken East River, but rather to clear all obstacles for the outstanding descendants of their own race. They were not that interested in the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau, but were more interested in killing Luo Yuan, the supreme genius of the human race.

At this moment, in the Death Passage, besides the seven peak Universe Lords besieging Luo Yuan, there were dozens of Universe Lords from different forces. They were all kinds of life forms, and each of them wore supreme treasure armor. Moreover, these Universe Lords were still mainly from the two holy lands and the Divine Eye Clan.

Besides the three major powers, there were also some universe masters who were originally exploring around the Tomb Ship and arrived here as soon as possible. However, their forces were no match for the three major powers, so they did not participate in the battle between the seven peak universe masters and Luo Yuan. Moreover, as the situation unfolded, their greed for the inheritance faded, so they simply stood aside and became bystanders.

Chapter 309 Blood-Red Tower

Aside from the three major powers of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe, the Purple Moon Holy Land Universe, and the Divine Eye Clan, the other Universe Lords watched as the seven peak Universe Lords besieged Luo Yuan and discussed it amongst themselves, just like the onlookers.

"The powerful humans in this primordial universe are truly pitiful!"

"This Lord of Primordial Chaos has only cultivated for a few epochs, yet he possesses the astonishing combat power to fight seven opponents at once. Moreover, he is the first expert to break through the incomplete Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation. He is indeed powerful. Such a prodigy with monstrous talent may perish this time. This guy is quite unlucky."

"I don't know what Duan Donghe was thinking. This Hunyuan Lord was the first to solve the incomplete puzzle, and at such a fast speed that we were all ashamed. But Duan Donghe directly revealed it, making him the target of everyone's criticism. Now he is being besieged by seven peak Universe Lords. If we had comprehended the Rhinoceros Emperor Puzzle first, then we would be the ones being besieged now."

“Indeed, we don’t believe that Duan Donghe would hide the fact that we are trying to understand the incomplete puzzle. Even if we do solve the puzzle, we will refrain from demonstrating the solution process inside the stone pillar. We will wait until there are more experts here who can solve the puzzle before demonstrating it. This way, we won’t provoke hostility from these powerful figures.”

Although these universe lords watched as Luo Yuan was besieged by seven peak universe lords, they seemed to be speaking out for Luo Yuan, but in reality, they were extremely indifferent. After all, they also wanted to obtain the inheritance, but they felt that the chances were slim. Otherwise, they would not have risked their own lives to come here. These seven powerful figures eliminating Luo Yuan was simply reducing their competitors.

"You shameless scum! You are all veteran powerhouses from the Holy Land or the First Cycle Era, yet you dare to join forces to attack me, a newly promoted junior! Have you no shame at all!" Luo Yuan controlled the metal dragon, using its claws and tail like extremely sharp blades to fiercely attack the seven peak universe lords who were watching him.

The seven peak universe lords currently besieging Luo Yuan include one or two from other forces, in addition to the three factions. Most of them are special life forms. The mist lord who was killed by Duan Donghe using a light secret technique was a special life form. After all, these peak forces have many vassal forces.

This cosmic sea contains hundreds of major powers and countless smaller powers. Even among these hundreds of major powers, there are differences in strength. These powers are all weaker powers that rely on stronger powers, eventually forming a network-like pyramid-shaped distribution of power. This is the Hongmeng power, which is mainly composed of the human race in the original universe, but also includes many non-human forces.

In the small universes of many forces in the current cosmic sea, there are many subordinate forces that depend on them. The lords of these subordinate universes rely on these small universes to survive, and their races are also allocated a small area for reproduction. However, these subordinate universe lords are always inferior to the sovereign forces. If they encounter danger, the strong of these subordinate forces will be cannon fodder.

Although the strong members of this subordinate force are considered inferior, their peak combat strength is in no way weaker than that of the strong members from the major forces.

These seven peak universe masters surrounded Luo Yuan while trying to distract him with words.

"Lord of Chaos, your strength is indeed impressive. It seems you are not just a name without substance. Moreover, the divine armor you wear is a supreme treasure, capable of transforming into various forms at will. It can defend, attack, and accelerate. It is indeed a great treasure. I heard that you previously possessed a pair of powerful silver wings, but it seems you have lost them. However, no matter how strong you are, you cannot survive being besieged by us."

No matter how abundant your divine power reserves are, how long can you withstand our siege? And even if you are strong enough to resist our attacks, where would you find the time and energy to break this Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation?

"You human brat, just admit defeat. If you give up competing with us for the inheritance of the Broken East River, we'll let you go."

The fact that these seven peak universe masters are now besieging Luo Yuan together demonstrates their overwhelming strength, completely crushing him. After all, it's one against seven. Although Luo Yuan's divine power reserves and purity are extremely powerful, and he is no weaker than these people in terms of secret techniques and divine abilities, if he were to use his full strength, he would be comparable to the strongest beings in the universe. However, these seven peak universe masters all possess supreme treasures and have strength comparable to the strongest beings in the universe.

This is equivalent to seven of the universe's strongest beings watching Luo Yuan. However, Luo Yuan is already capable of fighting against the universe's strongest beings in terms of combat power alone. In addition, with the three supreme treasures, he can possess the combat power of a mid-level universe's strongest being. This is why he can fight these seven powerful beings to a standstill and has not been defeated so far. If it were anyone else, they would have been defeated long ago.

“This cannot continue. Using the Chaos Divine Armor requires the constant use of enormous divine power, which consumes far too much divine power. Even though my divine power reserves far exceed those of these universe lords, I cannot continue to consume it like this. In this cosmic sea, we cannot connect to the divine kingdom, so the replenishment of divine power is very slow. If this continues, the efficiency of researching the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau will be extremely low.”

Luo Yuan thought to himself as he resisted the seven peak universe masters.

Luo Yuan gritted his teeth, considering whether or not to take out the Star Tower. He knew that there were many Universe Lords from various forces in the Cosmic Sea, and even the strongest beings in the universe, here. Although Luo Yuan had disguised the Star Tower, he couldn't say for sure whether these powerful beings had any special secret techniques that would allow them to recognize the Star Tower in his hand. If the news of the Star Tower were to leak out, then the strongest beings in the universe would be the ones to make a move.

However, the current situation forces Luo Yuan to consider bringing out the Star Tower. He feels that if things continue like this, he might really be dragged down to death by these seven veteran peak universe masters. He came here to obtain the inheritance, so he wants to take the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau as his main objective.

The metal dragon that Luo Yuan had transformed into was relentlessly besieged by seven figures. He was still taking out the disguised Star Tower. With a boom, a blood-red tower appeared on the top of the dragon's head, and a terrifying aura was immediately released, which startled all the powerful people present. They could tell that this was a supreme treasure of flying palace, but the aura it emitted was too terrifying.

After taking out the Star Tower, Luo Yuan immediately plunged into the blood-red tower. The tower then stood on the ground of the huge passageway. The seven peak universe lords who were besieging the tower saw Luo Yuan hide inside the Star Tower and kept attacking it. However, they were surprised to find that their attacks had no effect on the blood-red tower. They were all shocked.

So the seven powerful figures began attacking the Star Tower while simultaneously launching verbal attacks, but Luo Yuan completely ignored them, leaving them furious but helpless.

Chapter 310 Suppression and Sealing

"Lord of Chaos, you are a top expert of the human race, how come you've become a coward, hiding in the palace's supreme treasure? Do you think that means we can't do anything to you?"

"Human brat, you're hiding in this tower. We'll surround you, and you won't be able to escape to break this deadlock. In the end, you'll also perish!"

These seven peak universe masters circled Luo Yuan's Star Tower, relentlessly searching for a way to break through it. Looking at the tall, blood-red tower, their eyes were filled with excitement, and they couldn't help but burst into laughter. They felt like cats playing with mice.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I've never seen a palace in the form of a tower before. Who wants to try it out?"
