The monster Quilo knew no secret arts, relying entirely on absolute speed and strength to attack! The saying goes that brute force overcomes technique; when absolute power reaches a certain degree, laws and principles must recede.

Monster Quilo already possessed that aura. Its fist distorted the condensed space-time, transforming into a dazzling streak of light. Even the slightest ripple from the light formed by that fist could easily annihilate the entire solar system.

"Bang!"

A massive golden claw snatched down upon that fist from the side.

The terrifying impact instantly erupted.

"It's gotten fiercer again."

Following that force, Luo Feng instantly flipped over, stumbling slightly before crashing into the upper wall of the corridor like an afterimage. The impact on his divine body was immediately discharged into the wall.

"Boom!" A dazzling, heavy kick slammed directly into Luo Feng’s chest, driving him "flush" against the upper wall again. The immense impact caused Luo Feng’s divine body to tremble.

Whoosh!

Luo Feng gritted his teeth and flashed away, rapidly evading even from a distance. Simultaneously, the divine power of his "Golden Horned Beast Avatar" was immediately transmitted into his main body, restoring his Earthling primary form to peak condition.

"This monster Quilo, its strength is rising too fast; it's nearly sixth-tier now." Luo Feng felt an increasing headache. Even relying on the Mad God-Slaying Armor, he was only at the peak of the fourth-tier. Against an ordinary fifth-tier Universe Master, he could at most fight to a disadvantage. But now, Monster Quilo was far more terrifying than the Five Hun Master.

He was being completely suppressed!

"In just a short while, it has consumed 8% of my divine body; this cannot continue." Luo Feng watched the monster Quilo turn, roar, and flash to his front with speed that defied the heavens. He let out a furious roar.

Swish~~

Four dazzling silver-white wings suddenly appeared on his back. At the same time, under the impetus of immense divine power, a faint, hazy golden light spread out, instantly engulfing nearly a million kilometers around them. An incomparably powerful binding force instantly acted upon Monster Quilo, causing its speed to drop, while Luo Feng’s four wings fluttered, pushing him backward repeatedly.

"Duan Donghe only said that palace-type supreme treasures couldn't be used," Luo Feng said, spreading his silver wings, feeling a flicker of excitement in his heart. "Shi Wu, it’s been a long time since we fought together..."

"Roar~~" Monster Quilo seemed extremely annoyed, letting out a heaven-shaking roar. The roar alone caused the space to vibrate and distort, forming a visible shockwave that swept toward Luo Feng. Luo Feng, far away, didn't move at all, letting the shockwave crash into him and dissipate harmlessly.

Boom!

Monster Quilo's speed exploded as it charged again.

"With the Shi Wu Wings in hand, I'm not so easy to provoke either." Luo Feng shook his silver wings, his figure instantly becoming unpredictably ghostly, slicing through phantom trails as he began a frenzied close-quarters battle with Monster Quilo. Aided by the blessing of the "Golden Kingdom," Luo Feng's ultimate move, "God Slaying," could fully reach the mid-to-high level of the fifth-tier, allowing him to clash head-on with Monster Quilo with no significant disparity in strength.

For a time, the two engaged in close combat once more.

Monster Quilo charged wildly.

Luo Feng was a phantom everywhere.

"Bang!"

Luo Feng was sent flying backward, tumbling, his four wings closed, enveloping his entire body.

"Its strength is still climbing! Peak sixth-tier? Or Cosmic True Master?" Luo Feng couldn't judge for a moment, feeling that even the binding effect of the "Golden Kingdom" on Monster Quilo was weakening. The power of Monster Quilo's every punch and kick was starting to make Luo Feng’s heart tremble.

Suppressing.

Even with the restraint of the "Golden Kingdom," Monster Quilo’s bursts of speed still vastly exceeded Luo Feng's. Before Luo Feng could even dodge, he was struck in the chest by another punch.

Monster Quilo's attack power made even Luo Feng’s heart tremble; every time, he had to use the "Shi Wu Wings" closed around his body to resist its blows.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

It was impossible to resist.

He couldn't escape.

He couldn't block!

Luo Feng had completely become a punching bag, being wantonly suppressed by Monster Quilo. The restraint of the "Golden Kingdom" felt like mere air, something Monster Quilo could already ignore.

"Its strength must have reached the level of a Cosmic True Master, and even Cosmic True Masters need supreme treasures to wield such power, yet he relies on his body alone." Luo Feng completely wrapped himself in his silver wings, enduring blow after blow just to survive. "If this continues, I might be beaten to death."

"Should I enter the Star Tower?"

"The Star Tower could definitely block its attacks, but entering the Star Tower means elimination." "Endure! Endure! Endure!" Just as Luo Feng was in unbearable pain from the suppression, completely like a sandbag being kicked, punched, and smashed wildly, Monster Quilo suddenly quieted down.

After being kicked flying and hitting the side wall, Luo Feng immediately pushed off the wall, suspended in mid-air, watching the motionless Monster Quilo with confusion. "Why did it stop?"

"Boom!" Monster Quilo sat down heavily, then lay down and closed its eyes.

"You have passed. Continue forward." A cold voice echoed by his ear.

It was the voice of Duan Donghe’s subordinate!

Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief, having finally survived. He glanced back with lingering fear at the motionless Monster Quilo, then quickly flew toward the front. The corridor occasionally widened and narrowed. Moments later, he saw a gateway. As Luo Feng flew closer, the gateway rumbled open.

"Hm?" Luo Feng saw three figures on the other side after the gate rose.

"They actually made it out alive," Master Wu Mian exclaimed in surprise.

"Galaxy Lord, you came out of that monster's grasp alive, alone," Master Ying Ai sneered.

"Impressive," Master Lu Chong, however, offered a slight smile.

Luo Feng looked at the three before him. The three survivors were them—it seemed Master Jin Fang and Master Liu Jiu had perished! He hadn't expected even Master Liu Jiu, that plant lifeform, to have fallen!

"There were five of you operating together; how did two die?" Luo Feng asked in surprise. "That monster isn't that powerful."

Master Ying Ai sneered, "The one you encountered certainly wasn't that strong. If you had encountered the same one we did, death would have been certain."

"What did you encounter?" Luo Feng couldn't help but press.

Master Lu Chong beside him explained, "The Monster Quilo we faced was fine at the start; it only estimated the combat strength of a fourth-tier Universe Master. But as the battle progressed, its strength soared continuously, quickly surpassing each of us individually. It reached the level of a Cosmic True Master, and it was still rising... perhaps more terrifying than any Cosmic True Master I have ever seen."

"One of its punches was enough to severely damage our divine bodies! Master Liu Jiu’s evasion skills were insufficient, and he was directly annihilated, unable even to retrieve his palace supreme treasure to save his life. Master Jin Fang and Ying Wu coordinated, but unfortunately, their cooperation wasn't good enough, and they were also eliminated," Master Lu Chong sighed. "Fortunately, that frenzied state only lasted a moment; if it had continued, Ying Wu and the other would surely have died too."

"Hmph."

Ying Ai and Wu Mian snorted coldly.

Luo Feng, however, was secretly shocked.

Something was wrong.

The Monster Quilo they encountered was stronger than his, and it seemed theirs started at the level of a fourth-tier Universe Master. But the Monster Quilo he encountered only exhibited the strength level of a high-tier Universe Venerable initially! It only reached the Cosmic True Master level before ending abruptly.

"Four of you remain," a figure coalesced nearby; it was Duan Donghe.

Master Lu Chong, Luo Feng, Master Ying Ai, and Master Wu Mian all looked over.

Duan Donghe said coldly, "This was merely a small test of your individual strength. Two have already perished, and this is only the initial section of the corridor. You must reach the end of the corridor to arrive at the next hall before you can begin to touch the inheritance. Proceed!" Duan Donghe pointed ahead; this corridor remained incredibly deep.

Luo Feng, Master Lu Chong, and the Ying Wu couple were secretly alarmed.

This was only the beginning section?

Let's go!

The four could only continue flying forward nervously, their speed noticeably slower.

"Hm?" Luo Feng suddenly frowned.

Virtual Universe, in front of the Giant Axe Temple.

As Luo Feng appeared, he saw an expert sitting on either side of the stone table outside the Giant Axe Temple—a Universe Master.

"Luo Feng," the Giant Axe spoke.

"Luo Feng," City Lord Chaos also spoke directly. "We just received news regarding the Duan Donghe Inheritance. This message was actively released to us by the Undying Clan of the first Reincarnation Era, stating that among the six currently attempting the inheritance, you are one of them?"

"What exactly is the Duan Donghe Inheritance?" Creator Giant Axe also inquired.

All other Human experts looked at Luo Feng, clearly filled with expectant anxiety.

Although they received partial information from the Undying Clan, the Clan evidently didn't know everything, perhaps not even sharing 100% of it.

"Everyone will know once you watch," Luo Feng said, pointing to the air and projecting a recording of the memory of his experience. Everything from them flying into the Tomb-Liner, meeting "Duan Donghe" in the control room, and the battle against the Monster Quilo measured by the cubic instrument was played entirely. Of course, the scene where he used the Shi Wu Wings was deleted and not shown.

Instantly, the highest-ranking experts of the Human Race sitting there fell silent.

Luo Feng nodded. "That's the situation. Duan Donghe... the Wu Inheritance, this powerful legacy of an ancient civilization... it is an opportunity, yet extremely dangerous. It is destined for only one successor! Even among us, where we all might fail, this is just the beginning, and only four remain now." "This is an opportunity for our Human Race; I should continue the trial," Luo Feng said, looking at Giant Axe and City Lord Chaos.

Giant Axe and City Lord Chaos both nodded slightly.

Yes.

If there was anyone present most suited to undertake the trial, Giant Axe and City Lord Chaos knew clearly it was Luo Feng—because Luo Feng was a Universe Venerable, and even if he perished, he could be resurrected! Although he might lose supreme treasures... aspects like his level of understanding of laws, secret arts, and will remained, allowing his strength to recover quickly.

"Luo Feng, continue to accept the inheritance and don't be distracted by us," Giant Axe instructed directly. "If our Human Race has any arrangements, we will notify you later." "Yes." Luo Feng nodded slightly, then vanished into thin air under the gaze of many experts.

At that moment, the news also stirred up a massive storm across the Purple Moon Holy Land Universe, the East Emperor Holy Land Universe, and nearly a hundred factions from the three Reincarnation Eras. This storm was destined to escalate.
