But this mountain of treasures before them was left behind by the Third Generation Ancestor, and it also came with numerous restrictions. Each inheritor could only retrieve one Yuan Embryo by possessing the 'Inheritance Imprint'... without the imprint, taking such a treasure was utterly impossible.

"Tsk, tsk!" Luo Feng walked across this treasure mountain, observing as he went.

Streams of soaring light emitted immense power; if unleashed, the might of a Universe Supreme Being could be instantly annihilated. However, due to the special restrictions on the treasure mountain, every Yuan Embryo was suppressed.

"Psionic Weapons!"

"Close Combat Weapons!"

"Numerous peculiar armaments!"

"This... this belongs to machinery." Luo Feng examined them one by one. For instance, there was a colossal fortress resembling a sphere, whose true primitive volume could rival a Universe Ship! This giant fortress was divided into 18 tiers of attack units, and the secret patterns for each attack unit's mechanism were blank, requiring the user to fill them in according to their own research.

There was also a peculiar ship hull. This ship’s name was actually a giant ‘Refining Factory World,’ containing numerous conditions for forging Supreme Treasures.

There was also a golden egg, an extremely terrifying relic from ancient civilizations called a ‘Jiemu Egg.’ The Jiemu Egg was weak when first nurtured but possessed limitless growth potential. If cultivated properly, it could pursue a strategy akin to the Zerg's swarm tactics or an elite flow path. It could be said that its nurturing and breeding capabilities were vastly superior to the ‘Zerg Mother Queen.’ Its value was entirely comparable to that of a Yuan Embryo...

There was also a massive humanoid machine. This machine could be used as armor! It could also function as a mecha! Or perhaps as a puppet! Different uses dictated how this humanoid machine should be modified and designed, and countless internal components lacked secret patterns, with many areas even available for disassembly and modification, brimming with infinite possibilities.

In ancient civilization, the main categories were Melee, Ranged Attack, Mechanical, Treasure Refining, and Miscellaneous. The first four were mainstream, while Miscellaneous was a convergence of various strange techniques.

And each category could be further divided into many subtypes.

The intricacies of Melee and Ranged weapons were too complex to detail here. Focusing only on the Mechanical category, there were tactical streams like the ‘Mechanical Swarm Tactic,’ the ‘ Tactic,’ the ‘Fortress Tactic,’ and many others. The Yuan Embryos corresponding to different tactical streams also varied. On this treasure mountain alone, there were 72 types of Mechanical stream Yuan Embryos.

"No wonder the Mechanical stream was so dominant in ancient civilization." Luo Feng gazed upon the Mechanical stream Yuan Embryos, his eyes filled with longing. "Their power is too immense. Even if they lack somewhat in aspects like Laws or Secret Techniques, relying purely on machinery allows them to cross levels and annihilate enemies."

"It’s a pity I can only choose one."

Luo Feng stood midway up the treasure mountain, looking at a towering stone saber.

This stone saber looked as if it were carved from a giant rock and was incredibly tall. Although it was plunged into the mountainside... the grip position of the saber was as high as the very peak of the entire treasure mountain. The entire stone saber radiated piercing light... The outward appearance of the saber instantly captivated Luo Feng.

"Among the Yuan Embryos, there are three saber-type items. Some are broad-bladed great cleavers, and others are thin as a cicada's wing. This one is what I truly favor." Luo Feng liked it more the longer he looked. "It strongly resembles the Blood Shadow Battle Saber I’ve favored since childhood, only the proportion of the hilt is slightly larger, allowing for a two-handed grip."

"This is the one."

Luo Feng immediately stepped forward, holding his breath, and slowly extended his hand to touch the massive stone saber.

The moment contact was made.

A thin membrane immediately surfaced across the entire giant stone saber. Countless lines of Law patterns flowed across the membrane... Compared to the Law patterns he had observed within the iceberg while comprehending saber techniques previously, these were clearly much more complex.

"Boom—" The entire treasure mountain trembled violently. Lights began to emerge from every corner of the mountain, the Law patterns brightening and seemingly mirroring the membrane on the giant stone saber.

The Inheritance Imprint also materialized on Luo Feng’s brow.

Creating a resonance, seemingly.

Immediately thereafter, all the membranes and lights dissipated, and Luo Feng’s life imprint was etched onto the giant stone saber.

"Yuan Embryos require an enormous price to forge," an ancient voice sounded beside Luo Feng’s ear. "Current Broken East River... remember, this will be your companion for life, your sworn brother unto death. Treat it well."

"This voice..."

Luo Feng started slightly. "Is this the Third Generation Ancestor who built the treasure mountain?"

"Small! Small! Small!" With a thought from Luo Feng, the imposing stone saber rapidly began to shrink. In a moment, it reduced to about half Luo Feng’s height.

Luo Feng was filled with eager anticipation as he looked at the blade in his hand. The original rocky texture, upon shrinking, made the massive rock carvings resemble exquisite patterns on a scabbard. Yes, the so-called rocky exterior... it was just that the scabbard and the hilt were colored like rock.

"Swish!" Luo Feng gently drew the blade.

The blade emerged from its sheath!

Pffft!

The intangible sharpness emanating from the blade instantly caused a visible spatial tear in the surrounding space.

"This... this is the Inheritance Space," Luo Feng was stunned. The Inheritance Space was an immensely precious treasure, extremely stable internally. Even when he practiced the saber technique Nirvana Rebirth during the basic inheritance, a single strike only caused ripples in the space; it couldn't cut through anything.

But the edge of this saber embryo now caused a visible tear in space...

This was too terrifying!

"Even without activating Secret Techniques, if this battle saber were simply placed there, no Universe Master would dare touch it without sustaining injury," Luo Feng exclaimed in pleasant surprise. If he were to imbue it with saber technique secret patterns and propel it with Divine Power, its might would likely be even more terrifying."

"Such a battle saber..."

"The first level of Secret Technique shall be my strongest saber move... Nirvana Rebirth!" Luo Feng felt that applying Mist Light Void or Gold Universe to this saber embryo would be sacrilege; he could execute them easily, so there was no need to force the attachment of Gold Universe Secret Patterns to it. Only Nirvana Rebirth possessed the qualification.

Luo Feng channeled Divine Power.

Immediately, secret patterns began to appear on the sharp blade of the battle saber. As the patterns manifested, the entire saber gained a touch of mystery and a special charm.

"This is the first level of secret patterns," Luo Feng murmured.

"The first saber I truly used in life-or-death combat... was the Blood Shadow!"

"This saber embryo will probably accompany me truly for my entire life, until I reach the absolute peak, or until I perish," Luo Feng lowered his head and stroked the blade. "Then its name... shall also be Blood Shadow." With a thought, simple Chinese characters were etched onto the surface of the entire Blood Shadow Battle Saber... Blood Shadow!

The many battle sabers he had used from his growth until now had all changed as his strength increased. Now, he had finally found the blade he would use forever!

The Blood Shadow Saber!

"The might of the Blood Shadow Saber is difficult to fully gauge. Unless I intend to kill my opponent, it's best kept sheathed," Luo Feng mused inwardly. This saber embryo... was the only weapon he had obtained after becoming the current Broken East River, and it was an exceptionally heaven-defying weapon. Even without Secret Techniques or Divine Power driving it, it caused cracks in the surrounding space, already rivaling the power of a peak Fifth-Tier Universe Master.

Looking out into the Sea of Universe, even a Supreme Ultimate Treasure, when dormant, could not possess such strength.

This was a treasure that truly stood above ‘Supreme Ultimate Treasures,’ even with only one layer of secret patterns! Its power remained unbelievably immense.

"Senior Broken East Rivers of past generations, you looked down upon those Supreme Ultimate Treasures, but couldn't you have left a few in the Inheritance Space?" Luo Feng sighed helplessly. "Apart from the most precious Yuan Embryos, there isn't even a single Supreme Ultimate Treasure." The Memory Stone left behind when the previous Broken East River dissipated recorded this clearly.

The previous Broken East Rivers always left only one Yuan Embryo.

As for other treasures? Other numerous means and treasures? The succeeding Broken East River had to fight for them themselves! After all, if the ancestors left behind treasures for every need, the descendants would have no need to strive or contend, and thus would never grow.

Luo Feng, clad in silver armor, exited the treasure space and entered the main space of the entire ‘Inheritance Space.’

Hovering in mid-air.

"Come!" Luo Feng beckoned with his hand, and immediately a streak of light flew from a distance, stopping and hovering before him. This was an octagonal plaque, the control core of the Tomb Ship.

"The past generations of Broken East River left almost no machinery for me within the Inheritance Space."

"However, the Tomb Ship can be considered machinery."

"And my Slaughtering Wu Wings can also be counted as machinery."

Luo Feng effortlessly refined the control core of the Tomb Ship.

If carefully assessed, the most precious items he possessed were naturally the ‘Inheritance Space’ and the ‘Blood Shadow Saber.’ Next came the Star Tower and the Slaughtering Wu Wings, followed by the Tomb Ship.

Among these, the Slaughtering Wu Wings and the Tomb Ship were both mechanical types.

The Tomb Ship was self-evident; even if his personal strength wasn't high, he could manipulate some of the dangerous mechanisms inside the Tomb Ship... undoubtedly mechanical.

The Slaughtering Wu Wings belonged to the ‘ Tactic’ type of machinery!

This category of machinery generally assists the user, enhancing the user's combat strength. If the Slaughtering Wu Wings only possessed six pairs of wings and lacked the ‘Source,’ they would only be considered Ultimate Treasure weaponry! But with the ‘Source,’ things changed. Uh... it functioned like an engine or an energy storage unit.

The Divine Power of a strong being was converted through the ‘Source’ into terrifying energy, which was then emitted through the self-colored wings within the six pairs of wings!

Flame Ice Domain.

The Tomb Ship, suspended in mid-air, suddenly flashed!

It vanished into thin air.

A man in silver armor and boots appeared out of nowhere, a stone saber strapped to his back.

"I heard from Teacher Chaos City Lord that the Eastern Emperor Holy Land and the Purple Moon Holy Land both have powerful individuals lurking in this area. It seems they are trying to capture the inheritor." Luo Feng swept his gaze around; the Tomb Ship and the Inheritance Space were naturally put away.

"But as I am now, I truly don't fear them."

"I hope... they don't force me to use the Blood Shadow Saber."

Luo Feng immediately flipped his hand, and a blood-red tower appeared before him—the transformed Star Tower. Luo Feng instantly flew inside and directly rode the Star Tower towards the distance.

Having comprehended the move Nirvana Rebirth, even using the Mad Demon Divine Annihilation Armor to unleash it yielded peak Fifth-Tier combat strength!

If he were to use the Blood Shadow Saber, which was more terrifying than a Supreme Ultimate Treasure!

Then...

"Currently, I might not be able to fight a Universe Supreme Being head-on. But a Universe Supreme Being absolutely cannot kill me," Luo Feng was very confident. "Once I become a Universe Master and address this weakness in Divine Power..."

Luo Feng, the inheritor of the Broken East River lineage...

Once he becomes a Universe Master, he is destined to be the most terrifying Universe Master in the history of the Sea of Universe. Previously, Universe Masters were categorized into six tiers, but because of Luo Feng's existence, there would likely need to be divisions for the Seventh Tier and even the Eighth Tier!
