Chapter 1250: 1250

In East Emperor Universe, a cluster of palaces was constructed atop the mountains, and the entire palace grounds were divided into nine areas . If one were to look down from high above the sky, the view would seem like a gigantic beast where the whole cluster of palaces exuded an interminable air of malice . This was where North True Star Master resided—where there was a large number of undying servants and a handful of disciples who had come to seek advice .

In the main hall, North True Star Master’s avatar was seated in an elevated position within the great hall . With drooping eyelids, he was talking incessantly about the laws path, and in the middle of the hall, there were almost 100 universe knights who did not dare to get the least bit distracted . All were listening attentively…

“Eh?”

The universe knights seated beneath were all shocked when they realized that North True Star Master had suddenly stopped talking . They immediately looked up at him with doubtful expressions .

“We will stop here for now . All of you take your leave,” North True Star Master suddenly commanded .

Although all of them were quite confused, they obeyed with reverence . “Yes, Teacher . ” Then they left the hall together, where only North True Star Master remained high up where he sat .

“Ancestor!” North True Star Master shouted respectfully .

A figure radiating a faint green light appeared . This was East Emperor Ancestor, and his appearance also brought about changes to that space within the great hall . No one from the outside could see what was inside, and so, there was no way they could discover anything .

East Emperor Ancestor’s voice rumbled and resonated within the great hall . “I have ordered you to bring along ten universe masters to stand guard in the Flame Ice Region, did you happen to chance upon Milky Way horde leader Luo Feng?”

North True Star Master bowed and replied respectfully, “Ancestor, since the inheritance ended, and after Blue Blood Knight and the rest failed, I acted according to your orders and stayed to keep watch at Flame Ice Region . I was never the slightest bit neglectful of my duties . There are various routes from all directions with the Boat of Mausoleum as the anchor point . Every moment when there were universe masters, I was keeping a close watch . No matter how powerful that Milky Way Horde Leader Luo Feng is, he would never be able to sneak away . Yet, after such a long time, I have not discovered any trace of him at all! Seems like he has not come out of the Boat of Mausoleum . “

“Do not lose vigilance,” East Emperor Ancestor said coldly . “Maybe there were other universe masters who helped him escape . “

“I have considered various situations thoroughly,” North True Star Master reported . “Hiding within world rings that other great beings carry, then leaving secretly—this is definitely a possible scenario . Yet a personal round of investigation showed that any great beings from other regions who tried in vain to go near the surroundings of Boat of Mausoleum were all stopped short . So far, we have blocked off 39 universe masters and two universe supreme masters! Our clan is powerful . A face-off with us would not end well, so until today, no one has dared to forcibly barge their way in . No one dared go in! Of course, it would not be possible for anyone to take Luo Feng away . “

“True . ” East Emperor Ancestor nodded with satisfaction . “We must catch hold of Luo Feng! He has the inheritance of the pulse of Duan Dong River . It is extremely important! Catch him… no matter what price we have to pay!”

“Understood,” North True Star Master replied with respect .

East Emperor Ancestor briefly nodded .

To East Emperor Holy Land, it was not considered beyond reason for almost 100 universe masters to die . There was a limit to the number of universe masters that the East Emperor Holy Land Universe can accommodate, and furthermore, it had existed for far too long and had accumulated a large batch of expectant universe masters . Blue Blood Knight, for one, was an expectant universe master . Once another universe master was annihilated, another batch of expectant universe master would very quickly make a breakthrough!

To the high and mighty East Emperor Ancestor, he was clear on what an inheritance of the pulse of Duan Dong River meant . Just a small portion of it could translate to infinite uses .

Deep within the internal domain of Universe Boat, within the vast Flame Ice Region, there was not a single great being in the surroundings of the Boat of Mausoleum . North True Star Master and ten other universe masters were scattered in their various hiding places, keeping a close watch over their designated regions .

“Ancestor just came looking for me,” North True Star Master notified via his transmission token .

“Again?”

“During our time of standing guard, Ancestor has looked you up thrice, North True . Seems like Ancestor places much importance on this inheritance . Throughout my entire life’s journey, I have never seen him get so uptight over anything before . ”

“How can we not treat this with such reverence? You see, all ten of us are definitely ranked within the top 20 universe masters within East Emperor Holy Land . Out of ten, three of us already had supreme true treasures . But now? Ancestor has specially taken out seven supreme true treasures from the accumulated treasures the clan has collected over untold years, just for us . North True Star Master and the ten of us—now, each of us holds a supreme true treasure! Throughout Universe Ocean, I think only Purple Moon Holy Land and our clan will be able to achieve this . And for Purple Moon Holy Land to be able to take out so many supreme true treasures, I suppose that will require them to put in their utmost effort . Even for our clan, this was an extremely heavy burden . “

“True . “

“We all have a supreme true treasure . When confronted by a universe supreme master, we shall have no fear . Just one Luo Feng? Besides, North True Star Master only requires a fleeting moment to break free from the reins of the universe laws and speedily catch up with him . North True is the true principal force this time around . ”

All of these universe masters held high social statuses . Even if they were conversing with North True Star Master and the few other universe supreme masters, they were usually on equal social standing . They were truly the top-tiered elites of East Emperor Holy Land, yet all of them were stationed here in endless waiting, just to apprehend a single Luo Feng .

This went to show how determined East Emperor Ancestor was!

In the Boat of Mausoleum, in the space of cultivation within the space of inheritance .

“Experiencing the long course of cultivation . Oh, how long it was!”

“The lost knowledge created by three generations of ancestors is all the more profound beyond comparison . I can’t stay here all the time . ”

Sitting cross-legged on the grass patch, Luo Feng opened his eyes with a slight frown . “I still have to create my blade technique and complete several other tasks… and apparently, now, I feel that my law comprehension is simply too weak . “

The laws were one of his shortcomings . As he needed to get the pair of white wings to recognize him as its master, Golden Beast Path was stuck somewhere close to the completion of its seventh form . There, it remained stagnant, as Luo Feng simply did not dare to continue cultivating it . Besides, without truly comprehending the golden space law prior to studying secret techniques, there would be a blemish that would affect the progress of studies to a certain extent . As the studies got more profound, this influence would become more apparent .

“I must get out of here as fast as I can . I must get that pair of white wings as early as I can . Then I must cultivate Golden Space Path right away… First and foremost, I must break through to a universe master first . “

Upon breaking through to become a universe master, the godly power would change . Godly power represented the body . It also represented the soul! When soul and consciousness became stronger, it would be helpful in cultivation .

And after the laws were complete, studying the techniques would get much easier . Moreover, he also planned to comprehend all the ten fundamental laws, which were gold, wood, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, time, and space!

His goals were far-sighted, and plans were extensive, so he had to improve fast enough . But it was still more advisable to seize that pair of white wings to achieve a breakthrough to becoming a universe master prior to further actions .

“As for the Boat of Mausoleum and the space of inheritance? I shall just bring everything along with me . When I return to the primal universe, I shall leave the Boat of Mausoleum and space of inheritance within my God Country . That is the safest place . Given my current combat ability, my earthling original body can unleash a fifth-stage top-tiered power . As for the endless Remote Ocean, even if I rely on Duan Mie—synonymous with “annihilation”—to boost the burning up my godly power, given the vastness of the endless Remote Ocean, the burning of godly power would not mean much even for a universe supreme master… It would be possible for him to fight his way out . “

Luo Feng was very confident . Nine Remoteness Master was a universe master, but when relying on Nine Remoteness Ocean, he feared no universe supreme master .

Luo Feng, although his godly power was weaker by a notch, had blade techniques comparable to the beginner level of a universe supreme master! This made up for the difference in godly power . Also, Duan Mie made it possible for him to unleash an extraordinary outburst of power! The amount of power unleashed could even become overkill . This was merely the ability of the impressive Remote Ocean…

After all, if Luo Feng’s earthling original body and golden horned beast body were to make use of Duan Mie, their godly bodies would be consumed too fast . That was why he would not use it so readily .

******

In the space of inheritance .

Luo Feng took one step out and passed the entrance of the space to arrive within the space of inheritance where there were various planes of treasures .

“Treasures!” Luo Feng raised his head to take a look .

He was surrounded by a void space, and a towering treasure mountain stood before him . At the top of the mountain peak, dazzling, brilliant streams shot up into the sky, all of which radiated boundless power . Every stream was strong enough to send tremors through Luo Feng’s mind .

It was as if hundreds of universe supreme masters were self-destructing . It was a landslide of power .

“A total of 322 precious treasures . ” Luo Feng held his breath . “Generations of Duan Dong River, accumulating for countless years to finally reach a collection of 322 precious treasures . What a pity that I can only choose one, and this must be returned while I am still alive . “

This was the role . Generations of Duan Dong River had been doing so . Usually, they would take one piece . For those who were more powerful and had greater achievements, they might even be able to return two or three pieces even though they only took one, which was considered a way of contributing to the pulse of Duan Dong River . All these would be automatically recorded on the stone tablet of that treasure mountain .

All these treasures had a special name within the ancient civilization—the “meta-embryo”!

“Meta” held a highly respected meaning in the ancient civilization . Any treasure’s name prefixed with this word was considered a top-tiered grade treasure .

Embryo, on the other hand, meant the growing fetus . For a great being, different treasures were needed at different times . For instance, an undying with a supreme true treasure was useless because he was unable to use it at his level . That was why, even though true treasures might have emerged to full form, there was no way a great being could use them all the time .

That was where the term “meta-embryo” came about .

The meta-embryo was a unique treasure that had yet to take full form, so even undying fighters could start to use it! And, anyone could incorporate personal comprehensions of secret techniques into this treasure, where it would then have more secret engravings . For instance, Star Tower was extensively infused with layers of secret engravings, but the meta-embryo had none . It was blank and empty, and yet, merely relying on its basic power, it was already extremely strong .

A user could continuously infuse secret engravings, just like refining a true treasure . It was easy to infuse a meta-embryo with secret engravings!

For example, earlier on, Luo Feng had created three great blade techniques: Foggy Light Void Space, Golden Universe, and Nirvana Renaissance . Of these three, Nirvana Renaissance was a blade technique that had reached the level of a universe supreme master . Even for Luo Feng, he had to be fully focused in order to come up with a sketch of such incomparably massive secret engravings and to execute this technique .

The moment these secret engravings were all infused into the meta-embryo, there was only the need to drive it to execute it! Using the meta-embryo even while manipulating other true treasures in times of battle would not be a concern . And Nirvana Renaissance could ride on the power of the meta-embryo to execute an even greater force .

This was the meta-embryo: It was capable of continuous growth! As it got more and more powerful, more important secret engravings could be further integrated into it! And while it was growing, a meta-embryo was able to accompany an expectant great being until that great being matured to the most pinnacle level of the ancient civilization . At that time, the meta-embryo would also mature into a frightening top-tiered treasure .

“I can only choose one piece! What should I choose? How about the blade embryo?”

Luo Feng looked at the treasure mountain and heartily wished that he was allowed to take a few more pieces .
