Chapter 1243: A New Life
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Unable to become a universe supreme master, yet having to create a secret technique that was on the level of a universe supreme master? This was like a gigantic barrier that nature had set before their paths, hindering Luo Feng, Deer Bug Master, You Zan Master, Blue Blood Knight, and the various other great beings. Within Universe Ocean, there could be simply no solution at all; Luo Feng’s teacher, Primal Chaos City Leader, would not be able to achieve it either, but now, Duan Dong River was obviously forcing them to succeed.
Time flew by. Within the blink of an eye, another three decades passed.

The virtual universe.
“Huge Axe Creator.” Luo Feng sat cross-legged with a great quantity of three-dimensional virtual shadows from the Rhinoceros Emperor Game surrounding him; his brows were furrowed as he looked at the primitive giant. “I have been thinking very hard, but I still cannot find a stronger blade technique. Would Huge Axe Creator like to give me some pointers on how I should advance?”
Huge Axe Creator, also seated cross-legged, replied, “Within that ancient civilization, the inheritance from the pulse of Duan Dong River is extremely powerful, so they set very stringent requirements for their heirs. For him to have such a demand, naturally there would be such a possibility.”
Luo Feng nodded. He was aware of that possibility… but where could he find it?
He had been studying and pondering diligently but had made no progress at all. This feeling was antagonizing. Besides, according to the golden space path, Golden Universe was theoretically at its perfect limit. How else could he achieve a breakthrough? If he himself could not find any traces of flaws, then there was no way he could further perfect it.
“The inheritance of the blade has bestowed you with 360 blade manuals and three mountains of blades,” Huge Axe Creator prompted in a hushed tone. “It must have its purpose for doing so.”
“I am also aware that to achieve a breakthrough, I will need to take reference from the 360 blade manuals and the mountains of blades,” said Luo Feng, “but how can I do so when I cannot seem to find traces of any possible ways?”
Luo Feng felt helpless. After creating Golden Universe, it might have seemed as though three decades had passed, but in truth, thirty eras had gone by. It had been thirty eras, yet he had not made any progress. Without any sign of a breakthrough, how could he not feel discouraged?
Huge Axe nodded. “I have asked Teacher Origin before.”
“Teacher Origin?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.
“Yes.” Huge Axe nodded, then slowly said, “Teacher Origin said… if you want a breakthrough, the source lies within the three mountains of blades!”
Luo Feng gave a slight frown as he muttered to himself in silence. The source was within the three mountains of blades?
Huge Axe Creator continued to say, “The three mountains of blades contain the ultimate mysterious existence that can possibly help you create a secret technique of the level of a universe supreme master, even though your achievement in the studies of diagrams of secret engravings is limited to the level of a universe master. This is what we mean by executing and creating, yet not necessarily truly understanding.”
“Executing and creating, yet not necessarily truly understanding?” Luo Feng nodded slightly.
“What Teacher Origin said makes sense,” Luo Feng whispered. “Previously, I was able to create Golden Light. Today I will be able to create something even stronger.”
Actually, judging from the experiences of countless great beings from the Universe Ocean, the possibility of creating a secret technique at the level of a universe supreme master was zero! Yet the three icebergs gave this situation a trace of hope.
******
Difficult!
Simply too difficult…
It was not just Luo Feng who was stuck at this stage. There were a few other great beings from East Emperor Holy Land who were stuck at the same stage, and even Blue Blood Knight, who had spent 20 years to create a perfect secret technique at the level of a universe master, was stuck at the same stage.
“Ancestor, there is no hope at all.” Blue Blood Knight sat on the leaf of a huge tree, filled with distress and anxiety. “Painstakingly, I searched, yet I could not find any inspiration at all.”
“Ancestor.” Yan Zan Master also wore an anxious expression. “East Emperor Holy Land has existed for an endlessly long time, and there wasn’t a single time when a universe master could create a secret technique at the level of a universe supreme master. How am I going to achieve a breakthrough? Do please give me some guidance, Ancestor!”
The other candidates simply sat cross-legged on the leaves of that huge tree and listened.
This was within a certain space belonging to East Emperor Holy Land where time was accelerated by 10,000 times. The entire plane was mainly occupied by an ancient tree that had countless leaves. At that moment, the great beings, including East Emperor Ancestor himself, sat cross-legged on the tree leaves.
“Those are engravings of laws that you all have yet to come across before.” East Emperor Ancestor’s entire being radiated a faint green light, and he was seated far away, where he slowly said, “Engravings of laws are where all the mysteries and secrets of laws can be found, with these engravings of laws as guidance… you will find that the door to progress will be opened for you!”
The group of great beings looked at one another. The door to progress would be opened?
“Comprehend carefully,” East Emperor Ancestor said without a second thought. “Do not allow yourself to slacken. When someone among you has finally comprehended the secret technique of a universe supreme master, then it is time for the other candidates to all be annihilated.”
“Understood,” a few dozen candidates answered deferentially.
******
Purple Moon Holy Land.
Purple Moon Ancestor smiled and looked down at the various candidates. “Since Duan Dong River gave you all mountains of icebergs, then by all means, the secret must lie within those engravings of the laws. Comprehend carefully, and you will gain something. Abandon all kinds of thoughts you had previously. Meticulously study and comprehend those engravings of laws from various perspectives.”
Deer Bug Master was among the first few to answer. “Understood.”
******
Great beings from other groups of powers of Universe Ocean were all at a loss for words when questioned by their own candidates. This was because even they had not seen those engravings of laws before, so they could only reply, “Since there is only a mountain of iceberg, then the path to take should naturally fall within the iceberg. We just have to comprehend carefully.”
******
The great beings who made it into the space of inheritance definitely gained much, especially the universe masters. Most of them originally only possessed the capability up to the fourth or fifth level, but under the guidance of the engravings of law, depending on the length of time spent, they were able to create, one by one, the most perfect combination of strongest secret technique at the level of a universe master.
If they could make it out alive, all of them would naturally become top-tiered existences at the fifth level. What a pity that out of them all, only one was fated to survive.
******
Years went by.
Luo Feng had thoroughly studied all 360 blade manuals and memorized them by heart. His whole mind and body were immersed into careful comprehension of the three icebergs… the engravings of laws…
“Just a single engraving of law.” Luo Feng’s gaze chased after that meteor-like light, which was flying high and low, creating streams of light shaped into perfect arcs. It looked simple, yet it contained endless meaning.
As he watched, that stream of light seemed to grow bigger and thicker, as though it was an incomparably large rainbow. The edges of the rainbow had countless blade shadows, which were either gentle like water, stable as a mountain, or fiery like flames. Every blade shadow had an extremely complex diagram of secret engravings—so complex that it far surpassed what Luo Feng had once seen before in the greatest, ultimate diagram of secret engravings found within the Ninth Deep Abyss.
This was something Luo Feng could not comprehend. Countless blade shadows perfectly conformed to one another to compose a gigantic rainbow. This rainbow resembled a simple stream of meteor-like light.
“Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, light, lightning, space, gold space, water space, wooden space… even to water time, gold time. Uncountable secrets seemed to be completely fused, yet at times, they are only partially fused.”
Luo Feng was intoxicated by everything he saw. The engravings of laws were detached from any other individual law because it contained all the laws and all the mysteries.
“Huh?”
Luo Feng’s left eye kept watch on that meteor-like light while his right eye was engaged in watching the three mountains of icebergs and countless meteor-like light rays that were intertwining with one another to form the magnificent and unpredictable blade technique that was so mystical.
Left eye, right eye. One to the meteor-like light, the other to the three mountains of blades. Reflecting and mirroring one another. That was when a mystery arose…
Luo Feng was well-versed in the gold law, space law, and golden space law! As for the other laws, when he was studying the diagrams of secret engravings, he only managed to acquire scraps of information about them. Even though his comprehension was not high, there was still some understanding.
Which was why, when he was looking, Luo Feng could only distinctly identify the blade figure that was mainly based on Golden Space.
While looking, all the blade techniques in the 360 blade manuals were still hovering in his mind, appearing one by one and mirroring one another. With these in his mind, Luo Feng could even naturally create one blade technique after another, all in search of the feeling of looking at the engravings of laws. He could work hard on creating a blade technique with that sort of unique quality. It was just that the blade technique might be too weak or might already be incomplete from the very beginning. But Luo Feng was not bothered by those thoughts. He still continued creating.
Time passed.
Luo Feng was unaware of how much time had passed. He was completely immersed in the creating process. Unknowingly, he had finished the analysis of space law. He had even managed to acquire the skill of using all the secret techniques of wood law, water law, fire law, and earth law. Although he had not meant to comprehend these four fundamental laws, due to his overly profound comprehension, the way of utilizing the secret techniques of the four laws was naturally comprehended over time. If he’d had the intention to comprehend these four major laws, he would probably have achieved complete comprehension within two to three days.
“Gold… Space… Space… yet to become gold, wood, water, fire, earth… Annihilate… Gold…”
He did not know how long he spent on comprehending.
Space was originally divided into five different types, namely, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. During his long period of comprehending, Luo Feng had familiarized himself with these five spaces, and when both eyes were looking at the icebergs, one would focus on the intrinsic qualities while the other would focus on the external phase in search of the ultimate secrets. Along the way, he had discerned a new route.
“This is the blade I am looking for!”
Luo Feng grasped Absolute Guest blade and silently rose to stand above the chaotic airflow. He wielded his blade!
A brilliant ray that sliced across the vast sky instantly. There was an upsurge of light rays that converged into a dark, gigantic sphere. Countless blade rays were suppressed within this black sphere. A single blade ray could actually transform into this black, gigantic sphere within an instant to reach a height of ten billion kilometers.
Pu!
The black sphere suddenly split apart from the middle. A dazzling golden light appeared, but it vanished in a flash! A clearly visible mark could be seen within the entire space of inheritance. There it remained.
“I see it.”
“A new life.” Luo Feng shut his eyes as tears flowed. He was genuinely touched from the bottom of his heart. This single move had allowed him to advance to an entirely new level.
“Candidate has created the third form of blade technique!” the cold, mechanical voice said in Luo Feng’s ears. “An heir has emerged! The other candidates… Annihilate!”
******
During that long period, all the candidates had seemed to have lost their sanity as they immersed themselves within the icebergs. Suddenly, an intangible force fell from the star high above and landed directly upon every single one of the candidates.
“No!” Blue Blood’s eyes widened as his face registered fear. “No, it should have been me! I should be the one succeeding!”
Thereafter, he lay there, unmoving. His godly body looked the same, but his soul was annihilated.
Deer Bug Master, who was in the midst of comprehending, registered a change in expression. “This is—” Then he, too, remained where he was, unmoving.
One by one, the great beings froze instantly, as if they had become blocks of ice. They had all been annihilated, leaving behind their godly bodies.
At the same time, the divided bodies of these great beings in the other miniature universes, and even those in the primal universe, were all annihilated.
The moment an heir was born, the others were annihilated. It was an ironic form of celebration.
