Legacy of the Forbidden Zone

The Illusory Beasts possessed extremely low intelligence. The unique environment of the Demonic Mountain had given birth to this particular group of Illusory Beasts, whose sole purpose was to eliminate intruders! So, when this horde of Illusory Beasts on the palace square suddenly saw a human appear, they naturally all went berserk. “Roar~~” “Rooooar~~~” The Illusory Beasts transformed into streaks of afterimages, ferociously pouncing on Luo Feng, intent on tearing him to shreds. Meanwhile, Luo Feng, the Earthling's true body, standing beside the Illusory Ice Bear, charged towards the main entrance of the grand hall the moment he appeared. With a kick imbued with the power of a Domain Lord Ninth-tier Moyun Vine, he stomped on the ground. With a thunderous boom, the rocky ground of the square shook, propelling Luo Feng like a meteor directly towards the main entrance of the grand hall. Whoosh! Luo Feng plunged through the main entrance of the grand hall, with a large horde of Illusory Beasts roaring and charging after him. “Boom!” A black long staff suddenly appeared, striking down one beast with each swing! At the main entrance of the grand hall, the tall and burly Rock Ape Monster, wielding its thick, long black staff, swung it like a baseball player, turning it into a whirlwind. Bang! Bang! Bang! One after another, powerful Illusory Beasts formed from condensed ice exploded, their shattered ice fragments sent flying far away, directly beyond the white energy shield. “Roar~~” “Howl!” The Illusory Beasts glared ferociously at Luo Feng, wildly charging in one after another. But the Rock Ape Monster stood firm at the entrance, exuding an aura of “one man guarding the pass, ten thousand cannot open it,” smashing away as many as came. “These Illusory Beasts are truly stubborn,” Luo Feng mused, standing inside the grand hall and watching the hordes of Illusory Beasts charging from outside. “They see me and go mad, trying to kill me! They know it's hopeless, yet they still come. Fortunately, the energy shield protects the palace, preventing billions of Illusory Beasts from entering.” In just a moment! On the square, only shattered ice fragments remained, along with the sole surviving Illusory Beast—the Ice Bear! All other Illusory Beasts, in their frenzy to rush into the grand hall, had been slain by the Rock Ape Monster! ... The grand hall was towering and majestic, like a colossal mountain, making Luo Feng appear incredibly tiny within it. “This is the Inheritance Palace, but where do I receive the legacy?” Luo Feng, clad in silver combat armor over his Moyun combat suit, cautiously stepped through the grand hall. He meticulously observed the structure, which was filled with swirling black mist. In the distance, some black rocks would occasionally solidify, then melt and dissipate. The Rock Ape Monster glanced at Luo Feng, then hugged its black long staff and remained motionless in a corner. “How strange!” Luo Feng gazed at the scene inside the grand hall, shrouded in black mist. “Babata, have you discovered the secrets of this hall?” “Unable to detect!” “Detection signals are completely blocked,” Babata replied. “What?” Luo Feng was startled. The detection device Babata carried was extremely expensive, with a small detection range of 20 kilometers! It was an instrument Huyan Bo specifically used in dangerous places like cosmic secret realms. In many cosmic secret realms, this device was effective. But this Inheritance Palace... it actually blocked detection? “Rumble~~~” A sound like the earth shaking echoed. Inside the grand hall, a series of sounds emerged from the black mist-shrouded area, followed by strange and beautiful melodies: “Ooooh~~~ Loooong~~~~ Wooooh~~~” Various tones combined to form a peculiar and mysterious sound that filled Luo Feng with an immense sense of comfort. “It's that sound!” Luo Feng's heart stirred. He had heard these sounds before, when he first saw the 32 palaces. The sound reverberated! The grand hall underwent a massive transformation! Strange characters suddenly appeared on a broken black rock standing before Luo Feng. The strokes of the characters seemed to be formed from secret patterns, and Luo Feng didn't recognize any of them. “This, this...” Luo Feng stared in shock at the mysterious characters on the black rock before him. “I've never seen these characters before, yet I can clearly understand their meaning. It's incredible.” The characters continuously appeared and disappeared. After a long while, Luo Feng finally understood the meaning of all the characters. “Demonic Sound General?” “Legacy?” “157672?” Shock appeared in Luo Feng's eyes. The mysterious characters that continuously appeared on the black rock, when combined, conveyed the general meaning: “Since the birth of the Demonic Sound Legacy Forbidden Land, you are the 157,672nd life form to enter the Legacy Divine Temple and be qualified to receive the Demonic Sound Legacy... Any life form with a soul can come and accept the legacy. However, since the birth of this Legacy Forbidden Land, no life form has ever been able to receive the complete legacy and obtain the esteemed title of 'Demonic Sound General.' A Demonic Sound General, whether a flesh-and-blood life form, an energy life form, a metallic life form, or any life form with a soul, can become a noble Demonic Sound General! The Demonic Sound General is unique! Since the birth of the universe, there is destined to be only one Demonic Sound General. When a life form is able to receive the complete legacy and become the 'Demonic Sound General,' this Demonic Sound Legacy Forbidden Land will directly collapse. Insignificant life form... Strive! Strive to become the noble Demonic Sound General. Follow the legacy staircase beside you, and step by step, ascend the path to becoming a cosmic super-being...” ... Inside the grand hall. The black mist rumbled, and the wondrous sound echoed throughout the grand hall. Amidst the continuous transformations within the hall, a black rock staircase, approximately three li wide, emerged at the end of the black mist. Each step was adorned with strange golden secret patterns, faintly glowing with golden light. Luo Feng, the human, stood before this mysterious staircase in the grand hall, silent for a long time. “Demonic Sound General?” “Any life form, as long as it possesses a soul, is qualified to become a Demonic Sound General?” Luo Feng watched as the black mist parted before him, revealing the mysterious staircase that had appeared automatically. His heart was filled with inexplicable shock. The universe was incredibly mysterious. Luo Feng had known this for a long time. The human race comprised 1008 Cosmic Nations, each one vast beyond measure. The Lords of these Cosmic Nations were all eternally great beings, invincible across the cosmos... and there were even greater super-beings within the human race capable of creating the 'Virtual Universe.' However— The human race was merely one of billions of races in the universe, albeit one of the peak races! There were quite a few peak races. There were also some races that might not be considered peak races, but their individual strength was formidable. For instance, the Demon Killer Clan, in terms of racial strength... would probably rank beyond the ten thousandth place. As for the Golden Horn Behemoth, its racial strength would rank even further down. This was simply due to their small numbers, but it didn't mean they were weak! Billions of races! Boundless universe! Countless secret realms! “The Demonic Sound General's legacy? Who left this legacy?” Luo Feng looked around, then at the rock where the characters had appeared. “All these artificial traces are too obvious; clearly, a great being deliberately left this legacy! As far as I know, the Demonic Mountain existed in the Taichu Secret Realm long before the Virtual Universe Company took control of it!” The Demonic Mountain had an incredibly long history, just like the Xueluo World. Both were ancient. Cosmic secret realms were very mysterious. Some were strange environments that evolved naturally, while others were palaces, cultivation grounds, and so on, left behind by certain super-beings. These super-beings might have occupied parts of the Taichu Secret Realm even before the Virtual Universe Company. However, in the face of the Virtual Universe Company's immense power, they chose to retreat! Those who dared to resist would be directly crushed by the behemoth that was the Virtual Universe Company! However... Some great beings in the universe, though they retreated before the Virtual Universe Company, didn't necessarily mean they were weak! “I previously overheard two Immortal Gods talking, and the Virtual Universe Company also stationed a large number of Immortals on the Demonic Mountain.” Many thoughts flashed through Luo Feng's mind. “Even Babata has no idea about the Demonic Mountain's secrets. Clearly, this is a relatively high-level secret in the universe, even more mysterious than Chaos City.” “Demonic Sound General?” “This Legacy Forbidden Land, once a life form obtains the complete legacy, the forbidden land will directly collapse? And there can only be one Demonic Sound General in the universe?” Luo Feng nodded slightly. He could tell that a unique Demonic Sound General in the universe would indeed be a cosmic super-expert. “Over a hundred thousand life forms have already come to receive the legacy, yet not a single one has obtained the complete legacy.” Luo Feng shook his head, no longer dwelling on it. Whoosh! He took a step, directly leaping onto the staircase of the mysterious passage. The moment Luo Feng's combat boot landed on that step, the surrounding scenery instantly blurred. Luo Feng could no longer see anything else, only the endlessly extending staircase. Simultaneously, a mysterious message began to flood into Luo Feng's mind. “Accept the legacy!” “Cultivate the legacy!” “Each step contains a layer of legacy information. When you reach the end of the staircase, you will become a great existence in the universe—the Demonic Sound General.” A booming sound echoed in Luo Feng's sea of consciousness, and simultaneously, mysterious cultivation methods continuously poured in. Luo Feng was almost instantly captivated by this secret technique. This was a soul-type secret technique, requiring a soul to cultivate. In terms of its profoundness, it was immeasurably more intricate than the “Soul Imprint” his teacher Huyan Bo had left him. He could clearly feel that it was not on the same level at all. “I feel that this nameless legacy secret technique should be comparable to the Nine Universes Chaos Tablet. The Nine Universes Chaos Tablet guides people to comprehend laws, while this... is a detailed secret technique. This single set of secret techniques alone is of infinite value.” Luo Feng was excited. His discerning eye was very sharp! He possessed the inherited memories of the Golden Horn Behemoth and had seen countless secret techniques in the Virtual Universe Company's treasury. Precisely because of his sharp discernment, he could instantly judge— This mysterious legacy secret technique absolutely belonged to the most noble type of legacy, one that directly pointed to the fundamental origin of the cosmic grand dao! Instantly! Luo Feng completely immersed himself in the cultivation of this extraordinary secret technique... ... Not only Luo Feng's Earthling true body, but also the Golden Horn Behemoth within his internal world began to cultivate simultaneously. Only the Demon Killer Clan clone was helplessly bewildered, as this was a special soul-type secret technique, and the Demon Killer Clan clone simply couldn't cultivate it. “Who left this mysterious secret technique? Such a terrifying technique, if cultivated to mastery, becoming an existence that roams freely across the universe, is probably no exaggeration!” Luo Feng stopped thinking further, suppressed the wild joy in his heart, and completely immersed himself in cultivation.
