Rebirth

To create a Cosmic Overlord-tier secret technique without yet becoming a Cosmic Overlord? This was like a colossal chasm, blocking Luo Feng, Lord Luchong, Lord Youzan, Venerable Bixue, and many other powerhouses. In the Cosmic Ocean, this was simply an insurmountable task; even Luo Feng’s teacher, Chaos City Lord, couldn't achieve it. Yet, Duan Dong River was clearly forcing them to do so.Years passed, and in the blink of an eye, another thirty years went by.In the Virtual Universe.“Giant Axe Founder.” Luo Feng sat cross-legged, surrounded by numerous 3D projections of the Rhinoceros Emperor Game. He frowned deeply, looking at the savage giant before him. “I’ve racked my brain, but I still can’t find a stronger blade technique. I implore you, Giant Axe Founder, to guide me—how should I proceed?”The Giant Axe Founder sat cross-legged. “The Duan Dong River lineage’s inheritance is an extremely powerful one even among ancient civilizations, and it places incredibly high demands on its inheritors. If he has such a requirement, then it must be possible.”Luo Feng nodded.He knew it was possible… but how could he find that possibility?He had painstakingly researched and pondered, yet made no progress. This feeling was extremely painful. Moreover, the ‘Universe of Gold’ was already the theoretical perfect limit of the Path of Gold and Space. How could he break through? He couldn’t find the slightest flaw himself; he had no way to perfect it further.“This blade inheritance bestowed upon you 360 sets of Blade Secret Manuals and three Blade Mountains; it naturally has its purpose,” the Giant Axe Founder sighed with emotion. “I understand that to break through, I must draw inspiration from these 360 sets of Blade Secret Manuals and the Blade Mountains, but I can’t find any path to do so,” Luo Feng said, frustrated. Although it seemed only 30 years had passed since he created the ‘Universe of Gold,’ it had actually been 30 epochs. How could one not be disheartened after 30 full epochs without the slightest breakthrough?The Giant Axe Founder nodded. “I once asked the Original Ancestor.”“The Original Ancestor?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.“Indeed,” the Giant Axe Founder nodded, slowly saying, “The Original Ancestor said… if you wish to break through, the root lies in the three Blade Mountains!”Luo Feng frowned slightly, muttering to himself…The root lies in the three Blade Mountains?The Giant Axe Founder continued, “Only the three Blade Mountains, which contain ultimate profound mysteries, can allow your attainment in the secret pattern flow, though merely at the peak Universe Master level, to create a Cosmic Overlord-tier secret technique. What is displayed or created is not necessarily truly understood.”“What is displayed or created is not necessarily truly understood?” Luo Feng nodded slightly.“The Original Ancestor’s words make sense.”“I was able to create ‘Golden Light’ back then; today, I will be able to create something even stronger,” Luo Feng said softly.In truth, from the experience of countless powerhouses in the Cosmic Ocean, the possibility of creating a Cosmic Overlord-tier secret technique was zero!But the three Blade Mountains offered a glimmer of hope.…It was difficult!Extremely difficult.Not only was Luo Feng stuck at this step, but many powerhouses from the East Emperor Holy Land were also stuck. Even Venerable Bixue, who spent 20 years creating a secret technique that could be called perfect for the Universe Master tier, was similarly stuck at this step.“Ancestor, there’s simply no hope,” Venerable Bixue said, distressed and anxious, sitting on a giant leaf. “I’ve searched painstakingly, but I haven’t found even a hint of insight.”“Ancestor,” Lord Youzan also said with an anxious expression. “My East Emperor Holy Land has existed for an endlessly long time, and never has a Universe Master created a Cosmic Overlord-tier secret technique. How can we break through this? Please, Ancestor, guide us!”Other candidates sat cross-legged on giant leaves nearby, listening.This was within a planar space of the East Emperor Holy Land, where time acceleration reached ten thousand times. The entire planar space primarily featured an ancient tree, with countless leaves. At this moment, these powerhouses, including the East Emperor Ancestor himself, were all seated on the leaves.“That’s because you’ve never seen Law Markings before,” the East Emperor Ancestor, faintly glowing with green light, said slowly from a distance. “Law Markings encompass all profound mysteries of laws. With the guidance of Law Markings… the door to your progress has been opened!”The group of powerhouses looked at each other.The door to progress opened? “Meticulously comprehend, and do not relax in the slightest. When one of you finally comprehends a Cosmic Overlord secret technique, that will be the moment all other candidates perish,” the East Emperor Ancestor stated directly.“Yes,” dozens of candidates replied respectfully.…In the Purple Moon Holy Land.The Purple Moon Ancestor smiled faintly, looking down upon the numerous candidates. “Since Duan Dong River has given you these Blade Mountains, the profound mysteries naturally lie within those Law Markings. Meticulously comprehend them, and you will surely gain something. Abandon your past ideas and meticulously study and comprehend those Law Markings from various angles.”“Yes.”Lord Luchong and the others replied one by one.…When asked by their own candidates, the Cosmic Overlords of other factions in the vast Cosmic Ocean were somewhat bewildered. Even they had never seen ‘Law Markings,’ so they could only say, “Since there is only one Blade Mountain, the path naturally lies within it. Just comprehend it meticulously.”The powerhouses who entered the inheritance space indeed gained a lot, especially the Universe Masters. Originally, each possessed Fourth-tier or even Fifth-tier capabilities. Under the guidance of the Law Markings… whether it took a long or short time, each of them created the most perfect and powerful fusion secret technique at the Universe Master tier!If they could leave alive, each would naturally be a peak Fifth-tier existence!Unfortunately, it was destined… only one of them would survive.…Years passed.Luo Feng had long since thoroughly studied the 360 Blade Secret Manuals, knowing them by heart. He fully immersed himself in meticulously comprehending the three Blade Mountains… the Law Markings…“Just a single Law Marking.” Luo Feng’s gaze followed a meteor-like streak of light. This streak of light would sometimes soar, sometimes plummet, tracing arcs that could be called perfect. Simple yet containing endless profound meaning.As he watched…That streak of light seemed to grow larger and thicker, like an immense, vibrant streak. Along its edges were countless blade projections, some gentle as water, some steady as a mountain, some fierce as fire. Each blade projection was an incredibly complex secret pattern diagram, so complex that it far surpassed the most powerful ultimate technique secret pattern diagrams of the Ninth Abyss that Luo Feng had ever seen, making it impossible for him to comprehend… Countless blade projections perfectly integrated to form this giant vibrant streak…This vibrant streak was the seemingly simple meteor-like streak of light…“Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Light, Lightning, Time, Space, Gold-Space, Water-Space, Wood-Space… and even Water-Time, Gold-Time… countless profound mysteries, seemingly completely fused, yet also partially fused.” Luo Feng was completely mesmerized.Law Markings transcended any individual law.Because they contained all laws, containing all profound mysteries.“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s left eye was fixed on a single meteor-like streak of light, while his right eye simultaneously observed the three Blade Mountains. Countless meteor-like streaks of light combined with each other, also forming magnificent and unfathomable blade technique profound mysteries…Left eye, right eye, one observing a single line, the other observing the three Blade Mountains.Reflecting each other.There was a unique profound mystery to it…Luo Feng was most proficient in the Law of Gold, the Law of Space, and the Law of Gold-Space! As for other laws, he had touched upon them to some extent while studying the secret pattern flow. Although his comprehension of them wasn’t deep, he had some understanding.Therefore, what Luo Feng saw and most deeply appreciated with his eyes were blade projections primarily based on ‘Gold-Space.’While observing, all the blade techniques from the 360 Blade Secret Manuals appeared in Luo Feng’s mind, one by one, to reflect. He even naturally created blade techniques, one after another. These blade techniques… were all an attempt to pursue the feeling of observing the ‘Law Markings,’ to strive to create blade techniques with that essence. However, these techniques were either too weak in power or inherently incomplete… but Luo Feng paid no heed, continuously creating…Unaware of how much time had passed.Luo Feng was immersed in creation…Unconsciously, he had already analyzed the ‘Law of Space,’ and even mastered the application of secret techniques for the Law of Wood, Law of Water, Law of Fire, and Law of Earth. Although he hadn’t specifically comprehended these four basic laws, because his comprehension was too profound, the application of secret techniques for these four laws naturally became clear to him. If Luo Feng were to deliberately comprehend the four great laws, he could probably fully comprehend them within two or three days.“Gold… Space…”“Space… yet it is Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth…”“Annihilation…”“Gold…”Unaware of how long he had been comprehending.Space was originally divided into five types: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Luo Feng had become intimately familiar with these five elements and Space during his long period of comprehension. Moreover, with his two eyes observing the Blade Mountains—one internal, one external manifestation—pursuing the ultimate profound mysteries, he had faintly found a new path…“This is the blade technique!”Luo Feng held the Jueke Battle Blade, silently stood up, and positioned himself amidst the chaotic currents.He swung his blade!The blade light flared, instantly streaking across the sky, and then its radiance surged dramatically, converging into a giant dark sphere. Countless blade lights were suppressed within the black sphere… This blade light, upon appearing, instantly transformed into this giant dark sphere, which at once reached hundreds of billions of kilometers in height.With a sudden tear!The center of the black sphere suddenly ripped open, and a dazzling golden light flashed and vanished! A visible mark appeared in the entire space of the inheritance ground, lingering for a long time.“I saw it.”“Rebirth.” Luo Feng closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face. It was a heartfelt emotion; this move had completely elevated him to a new realm.“Candidate’s third blade technique created!” A cold, mechanical voice echoed in Luo Feng’s ears.“Inheritor determined!”“Other candidates… perish!”…All the candidates, who had long been obsessed and frenzied during the long period, were completely immersed in the Blade Mountains. Suddenly, an invisible power descended instantly from the stars high above, directly landing on each candidate.“No!” Venerable Bixue’s eyes widened, his face filled with terror. “No, it should be me! I should be the one to succeed!!!” He then became motionless, his divine body still present, but his soul extinguished.“This is—” Lord Luchong, in the midst of his comprehension, his expression changed, and he too became motionless.One by one, the powerhouses instantly froze.Each perished, their divine bodies still existing.At the same time, the clones of those powerhouses in other miniature universes, and even in the Original Universe, also fell at the same moment.…When the inheritor was born, all others perished, as if in celebration.
