Swallowed Star: Inward Cultivation, Crying Luo Feng

Chapter 422 First Round

After all, Luo Fan was telling the truth.

Often, the truth is the most hurtful.

These cosmic lords were all attracted by Luo Fan's million avatars.

They forget.

In fact, Luo Fan's most terrifying aspect lies in his cultivation time.

He possessed the power of a cosmic ruler in just one era.

How many eras have passed since then?
There are few beings stronger than him who are the rulers of the universe in the cosmic sea.

If we include avatars, no universe lord in the Cosmic Sea can rival Luo Fan.

Even the strongest beings in the universe wouldn't casually attack Luo Fan.

After all, with so many avatars attacking together, even the strongest being in the universe wouldn't stand a chance.

Therefore, during this period, almost no one went out of their way to provoke Luo Fan.

Upon hearing Luo Fan's words, many people looked at him with a hint of killing intent.

Based solely on the talent Luo Fan has displayed so far, he can be considered the strongest.

Even the original ancestors of the human race did not have such strength at this age.

Those few universe masters in the original universe are the ones who understand Luo Fan the most.

Especially the cosmic lords of several of the three races.

These are all universe lords who possess clones.

What came in was merely a clone.

"A mechanical race cosmic ruler said coldly."

“Our three clans once attempted to assassinate Luo Fan.”

"Because he could very well become the next Yuan!"

The reason why the three races used their most precious treasures to invite the True Demon God to assassinate Luo Fan at the Ancestral God Sect was because the three races believed that Luo Fan was very likely to become an existence like the Primordial Ancestor.

Even if it's just a possibility, the crowd won't allow it.

That's why they asked the False Demon God to assassinate Luo Fan at the Ancestral God Sect.

Although in the end, the illusory demon god became cellmates with the original ancestor.

However, the three clans still did not give up.

When Luo Fan first went to the Cosmic Sea, they were still trying to continue their assassination attempts.

But in the end, it still failed.

Ultimately, this resulted in the Lord of Catfish being suppressed within the miniature universe of the giant axe.

As a result, the demon race promised the human race that it would not continue to actively target the human race for the next million epochs as it had before.

Later, after learning that Luo Fan possessed a million avatars, the Mechanical Race and the Zerg Race abandoned their plans to assassinate him.

This is really too difficult.

A million incarnations!
As long as one of the incarnations is still alive, it cannot die.

At most, we would only lose some treasures and a little divine power.

Unless, with an absolutely powerful soul attack, Luo Fan is killed instantly before he self-destructs.

Only in this way can the numerous incarnations be completely killed.

Of course, this is just an outsider's opinion.

In reality, even so, it wouldn't be possible to completely kill Luo Fan.

At most, it would only kill the space worm clones along with all its avatars.

Given Luo Fan's current level of willpower, which is at the level of the strongest in the universe, it would be extremely difficult to destroy his soul before he self-destructs.

Even if Luo Fan's avatar did not carry a soul treasure, it would still require an eighth or even ninth-tier soul attack.

Moreover, success is not guaranteed.

If you fail, you will face the retribution of many incarnations.

Even the strongest being in the universe cannot ignore the combined attack of so many avatars.

Moreover, there aren't many people in the Cosmic Sea who can unleash eighth- or even ninth-order soul attacks.

Especially ninth-tier soul attacks, almost none of them can be unleashed.

This is why the powerful beings of the Cosmic Sea are so wary of the Primordial Ancestor.

Soul attacks are truly terrifying, especially at the tenth rank.

Even the soul masters in the Cosmic Sea know that Luo Fan's will has recently broken through to the level of the strongest in the universe.

After all, many people from various factions witnessed the transformation of the avatar into a region with a time flow rate of over five thousand times within the black-patterned stone pillar.

Now, no one dared to mess with Luo Fan anymore.

But it's different now.

This is now about the preservation of ancient civilizations.

As long as this ancient civilization can be inherited, the rise of the race can be basically guaranteed.

Especially these forces within the primordial universe.

Once obtained, a large number of universe lords may appear.

It's even possible that multiple universes could become the strongest beings.

Just look at the Divine Eye Clan and you'll understand.

This inheritance of ancient civilization is far more significant than the inheritance obtained by the Divine Eye Clan.

If we can obtain this inheritance, perhaps more than ten more of the strongest beings in the universe will emerge within our clan!
Moreover, it is possible to establish a Holy Land universe.

The hope of transcending the cycle of reincarnation!

This is something everyone envies.

If it really comes down to a test of talent, few are confident they can surpass Luo Fan.

This includes even the strongest beings in the universe.

They all came from a time when they were weak.

These powerful individuals all know how difficult it is to rise from weakness to the level of a universe master, and how much time it takes.

In one era, some haven't even broken through to immortality yet.

However, in just one era, Luo Fan was able to reach the realm of the Lord of the Universe.

Thinking of this, the gazes of the surrounding universe lords toward Luo Fan became increasingly hostile.

"Kill the Human Race's Lord of Chaos!"

The next moment, several universe lords from the first cycle era attacked Luo Fan directly.

After all, they will perish after this cycle of time ends.

So what if we offend Luo Fan?
As long as we can obtain the inheritance of ancient civilization, why should we be afraid of Luo Fan?
Just as their attack was about to land on Luo Fan.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Several beams of light shot out, and the first-generation universe lords who wanted to attack Luo Fan instantly perished.

The middle-aged man looked at the crowd and said indifferently.

"Fighting is forbidden within the General's Mansion!"

"This is merely a warning. Destroy these individuals' avatars and disqualify them from participating in the assessment."

"Next time, even if you have an avatar, it won't be of any use!"

"You can try and see if I can kill your true forms as well!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

What just happened was terrifying.

You should know that those few universe lords who made the move were all fifth-order universe lords!
After all, no one without some strength would dare to directly attack Luo Fan.

At this moment, only a pile of treasures remained.

Among them are even a few supreme treasures.

As everyone looked at the treasure on the ground, their eyes held a hint of greed and longing.

However, no one dared to pick them up.

Just then, several priceless treasures flew toward the middle-aged man.

After the treasure fell into his hands.

The next moment, it vanished without a trace.

"Alright, let's start with the initial screening."

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a spherical machine appeared in front of everyone.

"Screening? I don't know what the first screening will test for."

"It can't be an age test, can it? Otherwise, wouldn't the Human Race's Primordial Lord pass without a doubt?"

"Perhaps it's to test talent, genetic level, or something like that?"

The crowd looked at the spherical machine not far away and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

They were all guessing what the criteria for the first round of selection would be.

"Alright, now you can all go in one by one."

As soon as he finished speaking, the spherical machine in front of the middle-aged man suddenly cracked open, revealing a space inside.

The group exchanged glances, and a cosmic master was the first to step forward.

That spherical machine wasn't very big on the outside.

However, it seems to contain profound secrets.

As soon as the Lord of the Universe entered, he immediately began to shrink.

After he entered, the spherical machine slowly closed.

Boom! Boom!

"boom!"

The spherical machine began to emit a loud sound.

Luo Fan could sense the intense energy and law fluctuations within.

The surface of the spherical machine was originally black.

At this moment, secret patterns began to appear on the black surface.

These secret patterns emitted a bright yellow light.

Everyone was now staring intently at the spherical machine in front of them.

The cosmic lords of these cosmic seas were all somewhat nervous at this moment.

Because they themselves were unclear about the screening requirements.

What kind of people can pass this first round of screening?

Soon, the sphere opened up.

The lord of the universe slowly emerged from within.

At this moment, there was also a hint of doubt on the other person's face.

At this moment, the middle-aged man spoke up.

"You've passed the first round of screening."

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on the face of the Lord of the Universe.

Several other universe lords quickly surrounded them.

"Congratulations, Master of the Flowing Years! May I ask what this machine tests?"

"Master of the Years, congratulations! May I ask what's inside this machine?"

"Yes, yes, tell me about it."

Everyone else was also staring intently at the Lord of the Years.

The Lord of the Flowing Years is a fifth-order universe lord from the first reincarnation era.

The other party is not the cosmic ruler of any race or faction.

The life imprint of the Lord of the Flowing Years is entrusted to a small universe of the strongest solitary universe in the first cycle of reincarnation.

The Lord of the Years was originally a special stone life form.

Later, he developed consciousness and also possessed the secret technique of incarnation.

Those who entered the General's Mansion in the Eternal Ancient City were one of the incarnations of the Lord of Time.

Because he is the strongest being in the solitary universe and the master of the universe within a smaller universe.

Therefore, the Lord of the Years basically doesn't have any enemies with any forces.

He also had a hint of doubt on his face at this moment.

"You'll have to go in and see for yourselves. I don't know what the selection criteria are."

Just then, the middle-aged man spoke up calmly.

"next."

The several universe lords surrounding the Lord of Time hesitated for a moment.

One of them was the first to enter.

The same scene as before occurred again.

Soon, as the runes ceased to glow, the Lord of the Universe emerged from the separated spherical machine.

"Pass, next one!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Because the cosmic lord we just saw was a cosmic lord from the second reincarnation era.

He only possesses the strength of the third tier.

Among the universe lords in the General's Mansion, he is considered the weakest.

What entered was an alter ego of himself.

Seeing that the other team could pass, everyone instantly gained a lot of confidence.

"I'll come first!"

Immediately, everyone rushed to get inside.

One of the nearby Skeleton Race universe lords was the first to enter.

The remaining few people who were originally planning to go in together were stopped by an invisible barrier.

It's the same kind of barrier as the one at the entrance of the General's Mansion.

The middle-aged man spoke calmly.

"one by one."

"No need to rush."

Upon hearing this, no one dared to say anything more.

Soon, the cosmic ruler of the Skeleton Race emerged.

His face was full of confidence.

Although I don't know what this test is for.

However, even the third-order universe master was able to pass through.

He himself is a fifth-order universe master, how could he not pass?

Just then, the middle-aged man spoke up.

"You failed. Leave now."

The fifth-order universe master of the Skeleton Clan immediately changed his expression.

"How can it be!"

"That third-tier trash passed, why didn't I?"

At this moment, the Skeleton Race's universe lord's face was filled with rage.

He felt that the middle-aged man was targeting him.

The other universe masters' expressions changed when the other party said that this fifth-tier universe master of the Skeleton Clan had not passed.

Because there are also quite a few fourth-order universe lords here.

Their strength is no match for this cosmic ruler of the Skeleton Race.

However, the previous third-order universe master passed it again.

They didn't know what the selection criteria were.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man simply said...

“Those who are not of our kind cannot pass.”

Upon hearing this, the fifth-order universe lord of the Skeleton Clan's face was filled with despair.

The first round of selection was actually based on race!
If that's the case, doesn't that mean that before the real test even begins, all of the Skeleton Clan have already been eliminated?

At this moment, the Skeleton Race's universe lord's face was filled with despair.

The hope of their race transcending the law is gone!

This is something so close yet unattainable.

The feeling of having just gained hope only to be plunged into despair left this Skeleton Clan Universe Lord somewhat bewildered.

"next."

The middle-aged man ignored the cosmic ruler of the Skeleton Clan and continued speaking calmly.

At this moment, the cosmic lords inside the general's mansion did not rush forward any further.

Because the two cosmic lords who just passed through were not of the same race.

They still don't know what race is being selected this time.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man randomly selected a Lord of the Universe.

"You, go inside."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Universe's expression darkened.

However, after hesitating for a moment, I obediently entered the spherical machine.

Anyway, I'll have to go in for testing sooner or later.

The selection criterion is race, and since that's the case, it can't be changed.

He could only go inside.

If you really can't get through, it's the same whether you go in early or late.

Soon, he came out.

"Passed. Next, you go in."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he casually pointed to a cosmic ruler again.

The cosmic lord whom he had previously designated to enter was now filled with excitement and relief.

Next, the middle-aged man began to designate one universe lord after another to enter.

Some didn't pass, like the Skeleton Clan Universe Lord just now.

After the fifth-order universe master failed, another universe master from the skeleton race took a chance and tried to pass the test.

As expected, it still didn't pass.

The remaining few Skeleton Clan Universe Lords were filled with resentment, but they had no choice but to leave the General's Mansion together.

They also plan to try other parts of the Eternal City.

Soon, one after another, the Lords of the Universe finished their tests as instructed by the middle-aged man.

Finally, it was Luo Fan's turn.
